Shang Yang advocates the rule of law, but why does he know the law and break the law?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin became stronger because of Shang Yang's political reform, which laid a strong foundation for Qin to unify China later. However, because Shang Yang harbored the prince's crime, he even punished one of the prince's teachers, because he didn't prescribe the right medicine, so that he suffered the consequences in the future.

A monarch who breaks the law will commit the same crime as ordinary people.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to be strong, countries could win the Central Plains and recruit wise men to carry out political reform. Among them, Qin adopted Shang Yang's political reform and achieved success, which once made Qin become Qin at that time. As we all know, Shang Yang admired Legalism and advocated saving the country according to law, which was also the reason why the criminal law in Qin Dynasty was particularly serious.

Once, the prince made a mistake, but because he is a prince after all, he is still a wage earner who works for the state of Qin. So the fault of the prince is not wrongly attributed to the prince, but indirectly attributed to the prince's teacher. It is also for this reason that Gong Ziqian and Gong were deeply humiliated. It is precisely because Shang Yang did not handle the case impartially that he laid a hidden danger for his future development in the palace.

Second, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Shang Yang's injury to Gong Ziqian and Gong made them unforgettable. It is clearly the fault of the prince, so we should bear it for no reason. Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. So after Qin Xiaogong's death, King Hui of Qin acceded to the throne, and the two began to think of ways to deal with Shang Yang and wash their revenge.

Walking by the river forever, there is no one who doesn't get wet. Anyway, there is another word in the dictionary called? Fraud? . Although you Shang Yang are honest, you can't resist our secret manipulation, so one day when you went to court, one of them said to King Hui of Qin. Your Majesty, I heard that after Qin Xiaogong's death, Shang Yang became rebellious. This is the land left by your ancestors. You must manage it! ? King Hui of Qin was amazed at this. How can these rebels and thieves take away the mountains laid by our ancestors? Without saying anything, he sent Shang Yang to the guillotine, learned about Shang Yang's life and copied his family.

Everyone is equal before the law, and the prince commits the same crime as Shu Ren. If Shang Yang had enforced the law on the spot and given the prince a scare, instead of letting others take the blame for him, there might not have been a car crack and his family would not have been implicated.
