A gentle gust of wind awakens the body that has been sleeping for a thousand years; a gentle gust of wind blows away the mysterious veil of history. Standing on the shoulders of time, I talk to history.
First of all, King Wuling of Zhao was a monarch with mixed merits. In the title, Wu mainly refers to his feat of riding and shooting in a hu costume and conquering Zhongshan; ling mainly refers to his arrogance and conceit, and his later stages are faint. But his work seems to be less than excessive. The history books say that the military strength of the Zhao state suddenly became stronger, but from the evidence, it only destroyed Zhongshan and gained superiority in the war with Han, Wei, Qi, and Chu. However, in several confrontations with the State of Qin, the largest force in the Warring States, Zhao, who was riding and shooting in Hufu, still did not take advantage of it, let alone fight a victorious battle.
Although King Wuling of Zhao himself heroically entered Qin alone, this is just the personal heroism of the rangers, jing ke can also, still can not represent the Zhao state can compete with the qin state. On the issue of the succession of the eldest and youngest sons, King Wuling of Zhao appeared to be very faint and incompetent, and his speech was not counted, and he was capricious. The most outrageous thing was that in the case that Zen had already given up the throne to the youngest son, he wanted to divide the Zhao Kingdom into two and give the eldest son half of the kingdom. These acts later caused numerous contradictions. The ministers are also at both ends of the rat and do not know how to make decisions. If it were not for the wisdom and decisiveness of Li Dui and others later, Zhao Guo would have been a meteor created by King Wuling of Zhao, and then annihilated in the long river of the Warring States.
I think that in view of the final failure of the late Qing Dynasty, "mastering the art of mastery and skill to control the yi", it led to the history of my greater China being slaughtered by the Western powers. If the late Qing Dynasty had achieved the success of the Zhao Wuling King, then we would not have lost first to Britain and France and then to Japan. Perhaps China's historical status is different. The biggest problem is actually the problem of successors, I check them more in the square, there will be a few more future proletarian fighters, what am I tired of? If king Zhao Wuling in the sand dune could hear these words, how would he feel?
Who let him have too few sons, if he had a few more, let zhao Guo's congress legislate to allow him to have three or four children, or even let him have a reinforced company, history may change. In ancient Chinese, the word "ling" is not a good word, it means to fool around, blindly toss, with "ling" as the nickname, Zhao Cheng and Li Dui's plan is much more clever, and people are doing what they want to do under the banner of King Qin.
There are a few words: self-cultivation, family unity, governance, and peace in the world. In terms of self-cultivation, although King Wuling of Zhao was brilliant and ambitious, he was personally too superstitious about authoritarianism. Zhao Guo's reform of the law was entirely based on his personal authority. The vigorous and arbitrary style of doing things can indeed change the face of an enterprise and even a country in a short period of time, but it only stops there. It's like putting out a fire and putting out only an open fire, but not a dark fire. Strongmen always have an old day. The lack of corresponding system construction, the failure to establish a new basic plan for reform, and the reliance on the old forces with damaged interests to govern the country are all doomed to make the new policy of the Zhao state difficult to last. In the case of the Qi family, King Wuling of Zhao was clearly not a qualified father, and the problems within his family eventually gave political opponents an opportunity. From ancient times to the present, business affairs and family affairs are closely related in some cases. If you don't handle the backyard well, the front yard will eventually catch fire.
