In China's five-thousand-year history, there are many generals who have suffered miserably because of their high achievements. For those great generals, the end of their lives is not on the battlefield, but instead dies in the calculations of others, which is really unwilling. Because there are so many lessons in history, some generals choose to take risks in order to save their lives.
During the Warring States period, there was a general in the Qin state who was worried about the high merits and wanted to retire. But the emperor chose to be honest and tell the general that you don't have to worry, I won't kill you. Even if it is to give him a "reassuring pill" The two monarchs and ministers work together to make a big cause, which also makes the future generations of kings very envious, and is praised as a beautiful talk.
Assist Qin Shi Huang in unifying the world
The general in the story is the famous general Wang Qi, and that emperor is Qin Shi Huang. Historically, Qin Shi Huang was known for his cruelty, which made the ministers very afraid and afraid of doing things under his hands. However, for Wang Qi, he gave a lot of trust, and when he destroyed the Chu state, he gave Wang Qi an army of 600,000.
What these 600,000 troops mean can be imagined, and it can be said that they occupy most of the qin army. If Wang Qi had different intentions, he could completely lead his troops back to Xianyang, which was tantamount to a disaster for the Qin state. Dare to do this, no doubt a gamble, fortunately Qin Shi Huang gambled and won.
Before the destruction of Chu, Qin Shi Huang also arranged a move in order to reassure Wang Qi. Marrying his daughter Princess Huayang to him completely dispelled his uneasiness in his heart, and he was assured to boldly go forward to destroy Chu. After a year of victory, he returned and became a great hero of the DPRK and China, and was highly valued by the emperor. After the unification of the Central Plains, Wang Qi chose to retreat bravely in the rapids and keep the peace of the second half of his life.
He is highly appreciated for his military talents
In fact, Wang Qi's family situation is not very good, but he attaches great importance to his son and is very concerned about his education. He has loved the military since he was a child, and his family inadvertently discovered this talent and deliberately cultivated it. At that time, there were no toys at home for him to play with, so he made him some strange "weapons" for him to play with.
This hobby cultivated his interest in military affairs, and he liked the art of war from an early age and was proficient in various weapons. I hope that one day I will be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely and realize the hope of making meritorious achievements. Once Qin Shi Huang met him, he knew that this man was brave and strategic, and was a rare general, so he took him into account. Wang Qi has been following Qin Shi Huang and fighting everywhere, achieving a generation of famous generals.
The road to the throne of Qin Shi Huang was not smooth sailing, and he experienced many twists and turns. As a close confidant general, Wang Qi has always accompanied him around, and it can be said that without Wang Qi's escort, Qin Shi Huang's road to unifying the world would not have gone so smoothly. After all, there is a confidant who will be by his side, at least to protect his life. At that time, there were Lü Buwei cliques and Yan Yi cliques in the dynasty, which seriously affected the rule of Qin Shi Huang, and with the help of Wang Qi, these two people were finally eradicated.
Gain the trust of the Emperor
As an emperor, Qin Shi Huang had his own ambitions and wanted to unify the world. This is the monarch of the Qin dynasty, who has always wanted to complete the feat, but in the end he failed to succeed for various reasons. By the time of Qin Shi Huang's generation, both military strength and national strength had already developed to the peak. With him in power, the war to unify the world officially began, which lasted for 15 years.
In the process of unifying the six countries, except for the destruction of Korea, Wang Qi did not participate. The destruction of the other six kingdoms was commanded by Wang Qi's father and son, which can be regarded as the "Optimus Pillar" of the Qin State. Why is it so highly valued, in addition to showing bravery on the battlefield, but also good at using wisdom. The State of Qin wanted to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and the biggest difficulty was in the State of Zhao, and there was a great general named Li Mu.
If Li Mu was still alive, the dream of the Qin state to unify the world would be delayed for many years. At this time, Wang Qi came up with a plan, using a divisive strategy to provoke King Zhao to distrust Li Mu. Let king Zhao kill Li Mu, so that Zhao Guo lost the last guarantee. Li Mu was unlucky to encounter a faint king of Zhao, and Wang Qi had no worries about this aspect.
For wang qi's merits, Qin Shi Huang knew it well, in fact, the father and son of the Wang family could be said to be his right and left arms. Whether wang Qi had rebelled in his heart or not, Qin Shi Huang knew it very well and did not have the intention of killing him. For so many years, the father and son of the Wang family have been loyally following themselves for many years, if there is no him, where there are the achievements of the Qin Kingdom now.
The two men were honest with each other
However, with the smooth progress of the unification of the world, Wang Qi was very afraid in his heart, worried that Qin Shi Huang had moved his killing heart. For him, although he made great military achievements and realized his long-cherished wish in the past, it was easy to cause Qin Shi Huang to kill. If he continued to stay in the court, he was worried that he would become the next Lü Buwei, and then Qin Shi Huang would eliminate himself.
For so many years, Wang Qi had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he had countless injuries on his body, and his body was not as good as before. Moreover, he was also older, and he took the initiative to propose retirement to Qin Shi Huang and wanted to bid farewell to the court that was deceitful. For Wang Qi's thoughts, Qin Shi Huang was very clear, he was not very interested in the government, and he had no intention of rebelling. This kind of person has his own intentions, what is not at ease, seeing that he wants to unload his armor and return to the field on the grounds that he is not in good health, he is naturally unwilling.
It was not until later that Wang Qi asked him that he hoped that the emperor would reward him with good land and go home to cultivate land to accompany his descendants, that he completely understood. Where you want money, you clearly want Qin Shi Huang to be at ease, after all, there is such a good living environment, where will you be willing to give up. However, Qin Shi Huang's real idea was that he hoped that Wang Qi would continue to serve the imperial court.
When he once again proposed retirement, Qin Shi Huang pointed out to the point, you don't have to worry, I won't kill you. You are at ease to stay and give up those thoughts. Seeing that the emperor was so blunt, Wang Qi completely relaxed his heart and continued to serve in the imperial court. As for Wang Qi's personality, Qin Shi Huang knew in his heart that if he wanted to rebel, there were many opportunities, so why wait until today. The State of Qin had such great achievements, and it was inseparable from Wang Qi's help. In the end, under the admonition of Qin Shi Huang, Wang Qi stayed behind to continue to assist the King of Qin, until he destroyed the Six Kingdoms and then officially retired.
brief summary
There are many generals like Wang Qi who have made such high contributions to the country in history. However, there were not quite a few people who were able to retire, and many people were killed by the emperor. Wang Qi's fate is quite good, and to be able to achieve today's achievements is inseparable from the king's trust in him, and only then can he have this good story.
For Qin Shi Huang, Wang Qi was a rare talent who made great contributions to the country. The key is this person, there is no too bad mind, do not have to worry about the other side to rebel. And Wang Qi has always been far away from the government, and he does not attach great importance to fame and fortune, which also makes Qin Shi Huang completely relax his mind. There is a premise of this good story, that is, both the monarch and the courtier recognize their true conditions, and neither of them can be separated from each other in order to make the right choice.
