What is the relationship between Ying Quliang and Shang Yang?

The relationship between monarch and minister is a model of famous and virtuous ministers in the history of China.

Nowadays, wherever you go, you can see job advertisements. In that increasingly distant Warring States period, the first person to send this kind of thing was a 2 1 year-old youth. His name is Qu Liang. Nationality: Qin. Work unit: State House of Qin. Title: monarch. Twenty-four years later, he will have his own posthumous title and people will call him "Qin Xiaogong"! His job advertisement is called "seeking talents", and its content is quite different from today's stereotyped job advertisement. Every time I watch it, I feel inexplicable excitement.

"In the past, I painted red, cultivated martial arts, Dongping was in chaos, with the river as the boundary, Xiba was glorious, and the son of heaven made orders." The princes made peace, which was the beginning of later generations. It was very beautiful. Those who have gone are rude, impetuous, simple-minded, restless, concerned about the country and the people, and do not worry about foreign affairs. Sanjin captured my predecessor Hexi, and the princes were not as good as Qin, and their appearance was not good. Dedicate to the throne, soothe the frontier fortress, migrate to Liyang, want to cut the east, restore Miao Gong's hometown, and repair Miao Gong's decree. I miss the meaning of my predecessor and often feel heartache. There are guests and ministers who can surprise Qin, respect ministers and share the land with them. "

Bamboo slips are thick and expensive, which is probably the objective reason for the simplicity of ancient characters. This announcement is rich in content. Let's talk about Qin Mugong's achievements in the Spring and Autumn Period and its international position. In addition, later, our ancestors made our country suffer from internal and external troubles, and then after his father Qin Xiangong ascended the throne, he decided to recover lost ground and restore its international status. I inherited this legacy, hoping to find someone who can make a coup in Qiang Qin. I will not only be an outstanding official for him, but also enfeoffment the land and heroes to rule the state of Qin. Qin Xiaogong's evaluation of his country's history and reality is objective. It did not obliterate the achievements of ancestors, nor did it cover up their mistakes, but carried forward the fine traditions of Qin ancestors and corrected their shortcomings truthfully. Unlike some people now, I blame the land two thousand years ago for being too hard to shit. Well, that's it. Let's get back to the point.

What did Jiang Taigong say? The fishing line is thick and long, and the bait is rich, so the big fish will eat it. However, Qin has been at war for years and years, and it is poor and backward, and its foundation is very weak. Qin Xiaogong doesn't want to catch big fish with thick silk bait, but he has nothing to offer. So he promised to "respect the official and divide the land", and then he used people to make big cakes and share them. Although he invented the way of seeking talents in novels, it is estimated that he also plays drums in his heart. Because, apart from sincerity, he can't produce anything ... Zhuangzi said, "True people are sincere. Not refined and sincere, not moving. " ("Zhuangzi? The fisherman) is strange to say. When Qi Huangong sent 80 tourists to promote immigration, it never occurred to me to use paperwork. Therefore, Qin Xiaogong has a realistic and innovative style. Wei Yang, who was ignored by Liang, saw this job advertisement and set off for Qin State, where people in cloth clothes didn't want to go at that time. Because he is also a pragmatic and innovative person.

According to historical records, Wei Yang found Qin Xiaogong's favourite, Jing Ke, after he entered Qin. Jing Ke decided that he was a talented person and recommended him to Xiao Gong. The effect of the first interview was terrible. Qin Xiaogong dozed off. Jing Jian was scolded by the leader after that, saying that the person who recommended him was not so good. But Jing Jian still recommended Wei Yang. In the second interview, Qin Xiaogong listened for a while, but was not interested. Later, in the third interview, Xiao Gong gave an evaluation: this person is knowledgeable and can chat. During the fourth interview, the two talked for several days without sleeping. According to Wei Yang's own explanation, he said "Emperor Dao" for the first time, "King Dao" for the second time and "Overbearing" for the third time. Qin Xiaogong thinks that Emperor Wang Zhidao has been a saint for too long, so he should be successful in this world. How could he wait hundreds of years to become emperor? So last time I said it was the skill of a powerful country. Qin Xiaogong is very interested. Finally, Sima Qian borrowed Wei Yang's words from Historical Records: "However, the virtue of Yin and Zhou Dynasties is incomparable." He is implicitly criticizing Qin Xiaogong's quick success and low level. As far as reality is concerned, Taishigong is suspected of being a book in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because, according to Shang Yang's view of history, three generations ruled with different courtesy, and five tyrants ruled with different laws. The successful experience of the previous generation should be affirmed, but it should not be copied mechanically. Every generation is a creator, keeping pace with the times is a saint Wang Zhidao. Guan Zhong, Li Kui, Wu Qi and later Han Fei all held the same view. Sima Qian forced Confucian thoughts into the minds of legalists, which seemed to be a bit of abuse of editing power.

History has eloquently proved that Qin Xiaogong was the real pioneer of the imperial industry in Qin for a hundred years. He insists that his pragmatism is quick success and instant benefit, and I am afraid that the person who said this is also self-esteem. In fact, Shang Yang said that Qin Xiaogong was a process of double choice. Shang Yang's original intention was political reform, not Confucian kingship. He wanted to determine whether Qin Xiaogong was the king of political reform like Wei Wenhou and the King of Chu. Because political reform is a crime. Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi successively carried out reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty, but Song Renzong and Song Shenzong could not bear the pressure of opposition and gave up halfway. Song Renzong, in particular, has made some achievements in the New Deal, so it has no enthusiasm for reform. At the same time, Qi Weiwang has only eliminated the bureaucracy and strengthened the supervision system by public opinion, but the existing system has not changed much. Shang Yang's goal, like Wu Qi's, is to create a new social benefit distribution mechanism. This will inevitably lead to strong opposition. Maybe I am as successful as Wuqi. Therefore, he wants to confirm three points: First, will Qin Xiaogong adopt his reform plan? Second, how long can Qin Xiaogong's enthusiasm for political reform last? Third, is Qin Xiaogong brave enough to resist the pressure? As long as one of these three rules is not up to standard, thorough reform is impossible. The reason why Shang Yang is willing to start a business in this poor country with uncertain future is because of Qin Xiaogong's extraordinary leadership spirit in the Order of Seeking Virtue. However, we must be cautious in doing great things. Shang Yang's three temptations are also gambling luck. If the double election fails, where can he go to display his political reform ambition? This is impossible, because Qin Xiaogong is a gift from God.

At that time, Shang Yang was unknown, and Qin Xiaogong was only 2 1 year old. Today, I haven't graduated from college. This is not a youth idol drama. The two protagonists are cool and powerful young people. Qin Xiangong lived in exile in Wei and witnessed the prosperity of Wei. Qin Xiaogong has no record of going abroad, but he should have heard of Wei Wenhou's grandfather's political reform and the story of respecting sages. Of course, the story of the ancestor is the most talked about: "In the past, I longed for a scholar from the public, won glory from the west, and won millions from the east, welcomed Uncle Song Jian, and came to Pibao and Gongsun to help Jin. These five sons were not born to Qin, but to Mu Suo, who joined the country for 20 years and then dominated Xirong. " Although Confucius had a bad impression of Qin, he spoke highly of Qin. Historical records? Confucius' home: "Qi Jinggong and Yan Ying came to Shandong, and Gong Jing asked Confucius,' What did Qin Mugong dominate when he was young?' Right:' Qin, although the country is small, it is ambitious; Although the place is a monarch, the route is right. Holding five shackles, he became a knight doctor, talked with him for three days, and gave him political power. Taking this as a lesson, although the king can do it, his hegemony is small. ""Confucius said that Qin Mugong exchanged five sheepskins for the story of the Great Sage Prissy. Priscilla became a slave of Chu, and Qin Mugong redeemed him. After talking, he was sent to the prime minister's state affairs. Qin bought a sage at the price of a slave, which is probably the most cost-effective talent transfer transaction in history.

Both competitors and their ancestors have achieved success with the enlightened talent policy, which greatly encouraged Qin Xiaogong. But he also complained about the heroes whose ancestors died, which is why his father sacrificed his public office to abolish human martyrdom. Qin was strong because Mu Gong attached importance to talents, and declined because Mu Gong destroyed talents. This is a very painful lesson! Be kind to heroes from beginning to end. Otherwise, talents from all over the world will not come to Qin in the future. Qin Xiaogong thought so and did the same. The order of seeking virtue of "respecting officials and dividing land" is his solemn commitment to clearly mark the price. I don't know how many Shandong Jinshi Wei Yang had received before he came. Whether Jing Ke is a favourite or not, he is as anxious as the Duke of Zhou. But this outstanding young man of Qin is a man of depth and thought. His father, Qin Xiangong, is weaker than him. After he came back from Wei, he moved the capital to Oak Yang, not far from the front line, and attacked the lost land in Hexi with a persistent army (fortunately, Wuqi had left Wei at that time, otherwise it would be sad). Qin Xiaogong stopped fighting with Wei as soon as he came to power. He knows very well that although Wei has suffered several defeats, its national strength and military strength are still the strongest in the world. Now Wei Huiwang is focusing on the battlefield in the Central Plains. If one day he comes to his senses and regains the strategy of conquering Qin, it will be a disaster. Therefore, he calmly stopped the fanatical revenge of the ruling and opposition for decades and thought about how to develop national strength. At the same time, the new policy of "benefiting the people, encouraging widows, recruiting soldiers and rewarding merit" was implemented. Give benefits to the people of Qin, help orphans and widows, recruit soldiers, and reward officers and men according to their previous exploits. Referring to Guan Zhong's hegemony plan, Qin Xiaogong's approach is correct. In order to rest in peace of mind, he "surrounded Shaanxi City in the east and cut the king in the west" and then stopped fighting for eight years. Such a thoughtful and open-minded leader is exactly what Shang Yang needs.

Sima Qian said through Shang Yang that Qin Xiaogong, a young boy, had poor understanding and could not understand the Emperor Wang Zhidao, so he dozed off from time to time. This ..... In my opinion, that's what Qin Xiaogong thought at that time-Wei Yang and Kan Kan talked about Daodi. Qin Xiaogong may or may not have heard of it, but he knew that Wei Wenhou's political reform was not like this. Wei Yang's second talk about kingliness was nothing more than the courtesy of the Duke of Zhou and the benevolent government of Confucianism. Among them, Qin Xiaogong's New Deal is being implemented. It's a bit * * * in the same language, but it's not new to have these. What I want is a new way that no one else has. Wei Yang said bullying for the third time, and it was a pipe. At that time, Jin Wengong and Qin Mugong also adopted great power hegemony. Qin Xiangong's goal is to restore Mu Gong's territory and rebuild Mu Gong's decrees. Qin Xiaogong also took this as his ambition, so he was naturally interested. But he always felt that Mu Gong's decree and Wei Wenhou's political reform were not the same thing. So he is "good but useless", and Wei Yang is knowledgeable and can tell the world to himself. From beginning to end, what Qin Xiaogong wanted was to repeat the scene of Wei Wenhou's political reform. Wei Yang's three speeches are not the core secret of Wei's power. If a guest comes from Wei, he must know about Wei. My father has been in Wei for many years, and his way of doing things in Wei is different from what you said. Although the predecessors' things are valuable, it is more practical and operable to learn from the successful experience of the strongest in the world today. After testing each other three times, Wei Yang threw out the real thing (the skill of strengthening the country): Guo Wei's political reform is not the most thorough, but now it has exposed many disadvantages, and I have a more thorough solution! Qin Xiaogong did it one brace up after hearing this. He talked with him for days and nights, listened to all the details and asked many questions. Many things happen. You started the business with me. In the history of China, a pair of out-of-print monarch and minister combinations were born-

It is different from all the stories we have told before. Qin Xiaogong did not immediately promote Wei Yang as the CEO of Qinshi Group. According to historical records? According to Qin Benji, the historic meeting between Wei Yang and Wei Yang was in the year of filial piety, and the only important event in the second year of filial piety was that Zhou Tianzi sent a meat sacrifice to express his condolences. Wei Yang really began to reform in the third year of filial piety. Before the reform, there was a big discussion on the strategy of governing the country. Looking back together, Zhou Wenwang met Jiang Taigong at the Wei River and took office directly. After Qi Huangong negotiated with Guan Zhong, he immediately sealed the post of Prime Minister. The king of Chu mourned for "learning from Wu Weizhi", and Mozi also started with "being anxious for a sage's relatives". Qin Xiaogong has been hiding Wei Yang for a year. He seems to be in no hurry! But I haven't heard of any complaints from Wei Yang. Otherwise, according to his temper, he would have left long ago. What's going on here? After reading Shang Jun's book, I probably know what's going on. The first article in Shang Jun is Farming Law, which records Qin's consideration of unchangeable law. The result of the meeting was a decision to reform the law, and then a "weeding order" was immediately issued. "Reclaiming Grass" is only the second book, which records 20 laws to encourage farming. The content is very detailed, involving all aspects of Qin society. This reflects Shang Yang's extraordinary political insight and countermeasure ability. Why is he so familiar with the national conditions of Qin? In my humble opinion, Shang Yang has been engaged in research and drafting new laws during his two years of filial piety, which should be Guan Zhong's five-step research method-"Observing national politics, things, people's customs, managing chaos in this way, and knowing where the gains and losses are." Qin Xiaogong is quietly preparing for the central high-level meeting on political reform.

Speaking of which, I can't help dragging Wei Huiwang out for a meal. Even if you don't think it's reliable, at least you should have an interview with someone personally recommended by your uncle and the old prime minister. If you shut someone up without personally verifying the authenticity, you deserve to be abandoned for revenge. You have the nerve to make fun of uncle CuO's heartfelt words everywhere. Why don't you think my husband's uncle is more experienced than you, and before he dies, he will casually say that young people are very talented in governing the country? Look at Qin Xiaogong, a warm-blooded young man in his early twenties. He can give people the opportunity to show his eloquence again and again, and he doesn't listen to big talk, but only to the substance. You said Wei Yang was too young to take risks because he had no political experience. But Qin Xiaogong decided to choose people. First, he gave Wei Yang a year to study and prepare, and then he asked him to have an open debate with the minister at the meeting. He was entrusted with an important task only after his death. Twenty lang, a 20-year-old boy, is more sophisticated and steady than you in Wei Huiwang! It can really be said: I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of shopping around. Qin Xiaogong initiated the political tradition of seeking truth from facts in Qin State. Later generations Qin Shihuang listened to the self-defense of the North Korean spy Zheng Guo (the best water conservancy expert at that time) and continued to reuse him to preside over the project. The distorted fine tradition opened Wei's grandiose atmosphere of formalism. Since then, the fate of the two countries has tended to be straight. However, Qin's arrow is upward, and Wei's arrow is downward.

Let's go back to the meeting. As soon as Qin Xiaogong came up, he said: defending the country is the mission of our monarch, and it is the responsibility of your minister to formulate laws and policies; I want to reform, but I'm afraid everyone will talk about it. Wei Yang had a heated discussion with the conservative minister of Qin State. Finally, Xiao Wen recognized Wei Yang's point of view and declared: "Good. I've heard how strange this poor alley is and how different it is to learn. Fools laugh, wise men mourn; The happiness of a madman is the sorrow of a saint. I don't doubt that I was detained for discussion. " ("Shang Junshu"? More Law First) The first stage of political reform in Qin Dynasty was thus decided. Is Qin Xiaogong really afraid of being talked about? For this problem, we can compare with the later King Wuling of Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao privately said to Fei Yi, the minister, "I want to promote Hufu riding and shooting, but I'm afraid everyone will laugh at me.". Fei Yi quoted classics, just like Wei Yang's routine. King Wuling of Zhao finally said heroically, "I don't doubt Khufu. I'm afraid everyone in the world will laugh at me. The happiness of a madman makes the wise sad; Fools laugh, wise men observe. There are people following me in the world, and the merits and demerits of Khufu are unknown. Although I will make the whole world laugh at me, I will have it in Zhongshan, Alakazam. " ("Historical Records? Zhao) Two wise kings who are famous for their political reform have come to this step, which is very subtle. The more determined people are, the more they like to ask others such questions. Their so-called fear of discussion is actually to know the attitude of the gentlemen in the team. Whether those who support it can be resolutely implemented, whether those who are neutral can cooperate seriously, and whether those who oppose it can work together after consensus. Especially the main person in charge, do you have the persuasion and courage to push the crowd? This is Qin Xiaogong's last test of Wei Yang, and it is also to create public opinion for political reform and ease resistance. Well, it's a bit like Shang Tong of Mohism. First of all, we must unify our opinions and then resolutely implement them from top to bottom. Wei Yang really didn't let him down, so he ordered the appointment of Wei Yang as a regular and presided over the reform plan.

Since Shang Yang became the ruler of Chang, he seems to have disappeared from the history books. The relocation of Mu Lixin was planned and implemented by Shang Yang himself. Shang Yang presided over the legal system construction and economic and political reform of Qin State, and even served as a soldier in several foreign wars. It is said that when the new law was first implemented, Qin Min went to Liyang, the capital, to petition that there were thousands of people who were inconvenient for the new law, and Qin Xiaogong did not show up; The prince broke the law, and the prince Fu Gongzi was jointly and severally liable and did not show up; It is said that Shang Yang once punished criminals, killed 700 people and wiped out Wei River, but Qin Xiaogong still didn't appear. During the ten-year political reform, Qin people felt the benefits of the new law. Everyone who said the new law was inconvenient at first said it was good. As a result, Shang Yang said that "this is also a mob" and forcibly moved them to the border town, but Qin Xiaogong still didn't show up. Shang Yang completely controlled the affairs of state, and Qin Xiaogong was like being put in the air. Is there such a precedent? Yes, Guan Zhong is so powerful! Qin Xiaogong, like Qi Huangong, adopts entrusted management. After arranging the personnel, let the subordinates make their own decisions and only pay attention to the general direction. But Guan Zhong's New Deal people called it good, and Shang Yang's reform offended people everywhere. There will never be less opposition from the ruling and opposition parties, especially the royal family members who hate Shang Yang. Later, someone said to the newly enthroned King Hui of Qin: Qin people only know the laws, but they don't know the decrees of the monarch. I'm afraid Qin Xiaogong had heard this many times before his death. However, Qin Xiaogong ignored everything and trusted Shang Yang as the King of Chu treated Wuqi. At the end of filial piety, the officials of the reform faction always held the real power, and all the forces opposed to the reform were overwhelmed.

Many people say that the Six-country Reform is not thorough because the conservative forces are too strong, and Qin succeeded because the clan forces are far less than the Six-country Reform. The person who said this secretly only knows one, but not the other. The main resistance of the Six-State Reform is the family of doctor Shi Qing, especially the State of Chu. However, Qing Dafu's family in Qin dynasty was weak, and the aristocratic clan was the biggest threat to the political reform. Generally speaking, the Qin clan is relatively weak, but it is by no means easy to mess with. The troubled times criticized by Qin Xiaogong in "The Order of Seeking Sages" were caused by frequent mutinies of imperial clan. After Qin Zaogong's death, his younger brother, Qin Huaigong, reigned for four years and was forced to commit suicide by his concubine Chao and his ministers. The ministers supported Qin Linggong, the grandson of Qinhuai Gong. After Qin Linggong's death, he was young and was caught by his uncle Qin. Followed by Qin, Qin acceded to the throne. Qin acceded to the throne for two years, concubines changed to Bucket's mother, dumped her body in the river, and set up an exile for many years. You see, although the clan of the State of Qin is not as powerful as that of the Six Kingdoms, it always makes a coup when it is unhappy. Therefore, Qin Xiaogong's accession to the throne at the age of 21 is not a simple matter. In particular, the new Qin law deprived the imperial clan of hereditary privileges, further affecting stability and unity. However, Qin Xiaogong's efforts to stabilize North Korea are not recorded in the history books, but during his twenty-four years in power, no one dared to stir up trouble and openly obstruct political reform. When he was king, there were chaos and chaos of Shu Hou; When Qin was king, there was a chaos of Lao Ai and a chaos of peace. These two are famous iron-fisted monarchs. Some people dare to expect anything. Qin Xiaogong is silent, and the opposition can only endure until his death. This ability to set the overall situation silently is really unfathomable.

Qin Xiaogong not only sat in court, but also paid attention to the changes in the international situation. In ten years of filial piety, Shang Yang was promoted to be a great hero, and he was sent to lead and surround Anyi. Wei was forced to surrender (maybe Wei Jun's main force was elsewhere at that time, and the capital was empty, otherwise it would not be so easy to surrender). 12, Qin Xiaogong moved the capital to Xianyang, and continued to support Shang Yang in the second stage of political reform. In fourteen years, Qin was endowed with taxes from the beginning (historians have three explanations: land tax, military tax and poll tax, so you can judge for yourself). In nineteen years, the son of heaven gave birth to Bo. In twenty years, the princes made peace. Qin made the childe less official, led the teacher to meet the princes and the emperor. So far, Qin Xiaogong has realized the dream of restoring Qin Mugong's international status, and even surpassed it. Qin Xiangong's desire to recover Hexi has also been half realized. "Wei Shi Jia" said: "Qin Yong, east to the river." However, during the reign of King Hui of Qin, the State of Qin fought several tug-of-war with the State of Wei before it completely recovered this strategic position. In addition, the Chu family advocated that Shang Yang cut Chu, which was not recorded in Qin Benji. In a word, the sincere cooperation between the monarch and the minister pushed the state of Qin to an unprecedented peak step by step!

Qin Xiaogong is a rare king who can satisfy several different monarchies at the same time. Shang Yang's Law and Politics emphasizes that "let the law go private, don't talk about China and France, and don't listen; French or not, they are not tall; Illegal things, not for "; Huang's stereotype emphasizes that the monarch does not have to do it himself, but plays the role of a minister. Mozi advocated loving sages and was anxious; Xunzi said, "Sages can gather in groups." Good at cultivating people, managing people, showing people and decorating people. "These standards are not in line with the standards of Qin Xiaogong. Shang Yang is very lucky. With such a leader as the backing, he can idealize political reform into reality. Qin Xiaogong is also very lucky. What he got was Shang Yang, which completely changed the historical trend. But Wei Huiwang was luckier than both of them in one respect-he lived longer! Qin Xiaogong died in the twenty-fourth year of his reign, and Shang Yang was quickly falsely accused by the old school and split by the new king Qin Huiwen. This new prince is the one who was punished for breaking the law. Shang Yang's escape and rebellion in Historical Records is like a play. The record in the Warring States Policy is much simpler: "Filial piety dies. After Hui Wang's generation, he has been in power for some time, and Shang Jun is back. Some people say that Hui Wang said, "If a minister is too heavy, the country will be in danger, and if he is too close, it will be in danger. Today, women and babies in the Qin Dynasty are talking about Shang Jun's law and Mo Yan's law. It's Shang Wang who opposes the Lord, and Wang Gengchen. Besides, the husband is a gentleman in business, and the king has a grudge. I hope the king can understand. " When Shang Jun comes back, Hui Wang will share the car equally. "Shang Yang's ending is as tragic as Wu Zixu's, but much luckier than Wuqi. When the king of Chu mourned, Wuqi had not finished the political reform. When Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Yang had successfully completed the most thorough reform. Moreover, his laws have been circulating for a long time, unlike the gradual disintegration of the New Deal after Guan Zhong's death.

Warring States policy? Qin ce? From Wei to Qin, the death of Wei Yang recorded a sad message: "After eight years of filial piety, I can't afford to get sick. If I want to spread it, I won't accept it." On his deathbed, Qin Xiaogong intended to pass on the throne to Shang Yang, but Shang Yang certainly refused to accept it. Liu Bei's Bai Di Tuogu is a reprint, while Qin Xiaogong's is the original. The affection for this out-of-print hero is no less than that of Liu Bei and Kong Ming. Of course, people have different views on this. More people think that this is a kind of Machiavellian temptation. Some people even think that Qin Xiaogong suggested that King Hui of Qin kill Shang Yang in this way. Perhaps, we are used to seeing the world with complicated eyes and lack some pure qualities of pre-Qin people. Whether to test, I dare not say yes or no. But this is ridiculous. My son killed the hero.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, was afraid that Tang Gaozong could not control the general Li Shiji, so he made an excuse to put the old comrade-in-arms in prison. Tang Gaozong was puzzled. Li Shimin said that after my death, if you set him free, he would be grateful to you and loyal to you to the death. Being a father is taking the fall for you. Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Buyi, killed the hero, and Prince Zhu Biao raised an objection. He lost a thorn and said to Zhu Xiao, Your father, I will help you pull out all the thorns, so that you can hold this heel stick. Do you see it? Only a father helps his son eradicate the threat, how can he ask his son to kill the hero for himself! Therefore, Qin Xiaogong wanted to get rid of Shang Yang. He will do it himself, leaving no trace. Don't forget, he can hold all the opposition quietly, and he must have very clever political skills.

Maybe my judgment is wrong, but until now I still think that Qin Xiaogong's inheritance of Shang Yang is sincere. Qin Xiaogong said that he would "divide the land between the officials and the heroes" when he issued the order of seeking virtue. He did it. Shang Yang was made (the highest title) and divided into fifteen cities of Shang and Shang. Qin Xiaogong's most taboo is not heroes, but killing heroes. Simple Qin people created "Qin Feng? Yellow bird ",euphemistically criticized Qin Mugong's heroic sacrifice. Deeply convinced, lest Qin fall into the chaos after Mu Gong again, how could he kill this hero? Besides, Qin Xiaogong is a man of his own mind. He has the confidence to control top talents, so he has always trusted Shang Yang and is not shaken by any criticism. Wei Wenhou's thirst for talent left a stain of doubt on the famous Yang Le. Qin Xiaogong, like the King of Chu, did not leave any bad record of suspecting the Minister of Political Reform. This is enough to explain the problem. Hard-liners like Shang Yang who don't give themselves a way out are really unpleasant and difficult to make friends. Such an obvious truth, you can think of it, and so can Qin Xiaogong. Excuse me: Besides Qin Xiaogong, who else in the world can use Shang Yang? Who dares to use Shang Yang? Who else can make the perfectionist Shang Yang willing to help? Qin Xiaogong knew this, so he didn't have to be afraid of Shang Yang. Shang Yang also knows this. No matter where he goes, he will never meet such a perfect leader as Xiao Gong. Where are the pines and cypresses without green hills?

I want to save the life of the minister of political reform, unless the king of political reform dies later than them. It's a pity that he is only forty-five, but older people can continue to pretend to be virtuous in front of Meng. I can't help it That's how god arranged it. Before he died, he was most afraid of two things: first, his old rival and his newly acceded to the throne took the opportunity to find trouble with Qin (Qin was less than twenty years old when he came to power), and second, Qin, who had a criminal record, might be restored after his death. So, he wants Shang Yang to keep an eye on it. Of course, the real intention of his succession should be to make Shang Yang a regent, following the precedent of Yi Yin and Duke Zhou assisting the young king, and then returning to power when the young king grows up. As I said before, it is no longer possible to play Zen in this era. Out-of-print reform, the combination of monarch and minister, bosom friends for many years, although not strangled, but interlocking. Just like after the death of the king of Chu, Wuqi was immediately shot by an arrow; After Qin Xiaogong's death, Shang Yang was soon breached. With one gone, the other's life is meaningless. Brothers, front and back feet, let's go ...
