Zen system
After being ended, the structure of the world tends to be stable,
The inheritance of power has changed from the original meritocracy to a single inheritance
Although this process ensures stability, it also makes the birth of monarchs more random, and the emergence of Ming kings is random, and more is some bad kings.
Qin Xiaogong stills
However, in the Qin state after Qin Xiaogong, this law seems to be broken,
After the Duke of Qin Xiaogong, they were all Ming Jun, which also made people wonder about the Qin State, why are there so many Ming Juns in the Qin State?
In fact, all this hides the laws of history. since
Lee's Transformation Method
At the beginning, the entire Warring States ushered in a boiling era, during which every country had very obvious changes
Everyone is pursuing a new atmosphere, and everyone is carrying out reform and exploration.
Being in a high position, but losing yourself
The State of Wei took the lead in reforming the legal system
make
The State of Wei became the largest country
The State of Qi took the lead in taking a new route in ideology and culture, and the Minoru Academy Palace became a must-see in history. As for the Qin state, the steps it took were even more distant, in
Duke Xiao of Qin and Martingale of Shang
With the cooperation of the Qin State, the Qin State brewed
Quotient martingale transformation method
and yet
A true system of legal governance was established.
Stills of the martingale
Although everyone was reforming at that time, and the laws of the Qin State were not unique, over time people discovered the mystery.
The State of Wei, the State of Qi, and even the State of Chu, although their changes were vigorous in the early stages, but with the departure of excellent kings, accompanied by the appearance of many emperors, all the achievements of the previous reforms were squandered.
King Hui of Wei of the State of Wei, fainting and incompetent, buried the most powerful Wei Wu pawn, the King of Chu Huai of the Chu State, greedy for small profits and forgetting great righteousness, resulting in a misstep in diplomatic relations and almost destroying the country. As for the State of Qi, it is even more interesting, King Qi Min, despite the persuasion of the people, first wanted to destroy the State of Song, resulting in the Five Kingdoms attacking Qi and destroying the country and destroying the clan.
In the case of many peers who were once depressed, Qin Guo showed amazing perseverance,
From Qin Xiaogong to the later King Huiwen of Qin, followed by King Wu of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and the grandfather and father of Qin Shi Huang, and then to Qin Shi Huang himself, each of these kings had human weaknesses, but each of them achieved the goal of expanding the land and strengthening the country.
This phenomenon has made countless historians feel incomprehensible, and at the same time, it has also made the thinkers of the Warring States period feel too subversive.
Because from the perspective of human nature, anyone in a high position can easily fall into confusion
。
Wei Huiwang stills
In the case of King Hui of Wei, when he was young, he was able to establish the hegemony of the State of Wei, but as he grew older, as well as the result of his self-confidence in himself, he fainted and incompetent, which eventually led to the decline of hegemony.
Only that
Monarch of the State of Qin
No matter how much desire they have, they will always be able to do it at a crucial moment
Reined
，
King Huiwen of Qin had murdered and committed crimes when he was young, but after becoming a king, he constantly defied public opinion and reused Zhang Yi, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin once killed Bai Qi and committed a heinous disaster, but he was still able to stabilize his position before his death and maintain his advantage over the Six Kingdoms.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen that at that time, the monarch of the Qin State definitely did not use human self-control to ensure the excellence of the king.
It must be a being outside of human nature that binds them.
The two whips that drove Ming Jun
In the writings of Teacher Sun Haohui
The Great Qin Empire
In the middle, a possibility was clearly mentioned, and Teacher Sun Haohui said the truth of Ming Jun through shang martingale's tone:
The king has the right to be in a high position and is prone to mistakes, and the real existence that can keep the king calm is the law, which not only binds the people below but also binds the king, and this kind of law has no compromise, and once it is enforced, it must achieve the effect of punishment.
When King Huiwen of Qin committed a crime, even if he was the crown prince, as long as he broke the law,
Shang Martin also punished him as a teacher.
King Qin Huiwen was in this way, witnessing the harshness of the law, so that he could restrain his heart at the moment of crisis every time and serve the country well.
Qin Huiwen
Therefore, in the Warring States period, the first element that really made the Qin state continuously emerge as a Ming Emperor was
The laws of the Qin State
This kind of legal constraint is very different from the current concept of law, because there was no concept of law at that time, and it was all believed
The law is the will of the king, and since it is the will of the king, the emperor can do whatever he wants.
But when the law of shang martingale was established, it was like a red line, or the whip of shang martingale that King Huiwen of Qin saw when he was young.
As long as the king wants to make a mistake, the law will jump out in time to stop him, even if the king has the ability to break through this layer of boundaries, but he will also think of the fear of the whip, so he will think twice before doing things, and then avoid the impulse.
Of course, in addition to the views of teacher Sun Haohui,
In fact, there is another concept of history that helps the monarchs of the Qin State grow, that is, the trend of history. This involves a concept of human behavior, which is the imitation of the subconscious.
As the saying goes,
Near Zhu is red and close to ink is black
By enlarging this concept into the realm of kings and warring states, we will discover the mystery.
Qin Xiaogong and Qin Huiwen Did Their Best to Help the Qin Kingdom Become Strong, and the sacrifices and efforts made were passed on by word of mouth, reaching the ears of every descendant, and within the atmosphere of the entire Qin Kingdom, it was all a kind of pity and will to fight. It can be seen from the national anthem of the Qin state that it is difficult to go to the country by the old Qin communists, such a tragic and magnificent national anthem is sung every day, and the concept of frugality is advocated every day above the court, and the concept of death without a fight is preached every day.
More importantly, the ancestors have helped the kings of future generations to find a way out, that is
The State of Qin unified the world
Therefore, under the environment of the Qin State, it has fit a certain historical inertia
By Qin Xiaogong began the power of the Qin state chariot, passing by
The word of mouth and environmental renderings of the monarchs and descendants of the Qin state have made the monarch of the Qin state sit on a red line that cannot be stepped on
epilogue
So let's combine two points,
The reason why the Qin Kingdom continued to appear ming jun was not because of how powerful the qin king was personally, but because these two points complemented each other, because of the existence of the red line, let the king think twice
After thinking about it again, I often saw that the greater goal of the unification of the world was about to be achieved, whether it was a naughty boy or an ambitious king, would move in the established direction.
It can be understood as,
The laws of the Shang Martingale period had already set up a path for the monarchs of the Qin State, with restraints on both sides, and in front of the seductive world, the king would always passively or actively run forward
In the Warring States period, could such a system unify the Qin state?
