"The essence of today's international competition is a contest of comprehensive national strength, and in the final analysis, it is a competition for qualified personnel." If you put this sentence into the Warring States period more than two thousand years ago, there is no sense of violation. The reason why the Great Qin Empire was able to complete the unification of the Chinese land for the first time from a corner of the western frontier and a cultural barren land to a place of cultural desolation, is of course multifaceted, blending the heavens, places, and people. However, the policy of attaching importance to talents that has been continued since Qin Xiaogong's "Order to Seek Talents" has undoubtedly played a great catalytic role.
"The widow misses the will of the ancestors, and often hurts his heart. The guests and courtiers have those who can make a surprising plan to strengthen the Qin, and I respect the officials and divide the land with them. "Selected from the Zizhi Tongjian Volume II" - Qin Xiaogong.
However, what is puzzling is that many of those disciples who entered Qin did not end up very well, and many of them were even tragic, for example, the representative figure who laid the foundation for a strong Qin, Shang Martin, after the death of Xiao Gong, the conservatives immediately framed him for rebellion, and as a result, the newly ascended King Huiwen actually lured Shang Martin to "rebel" and took the opportunity to kill him, using an extremely tragic criminal law - five horses to split the body. Shang Martingale lives in Qin, even if the means are fierce, but he is single-mindedly for Great Qin, and even risks his life, the Qin State can rise strong and officially go to the table of the great powers, it can be said that juju is the greatest, so he killed Shang Martin, not afraid of chilling the hearts of the people of the world, who in the future will dare to easily come to the Qin Kingdom to contribute their wisdom and wisdom, this simple truth, can't those who are extremely intelligent testers not see it? But we were surprised to see that even though Shang Martin died so tragically, those disciples were still like moths to the fire, rushing to Great Qin one after another.
When Shang Martin punished Gongzi Qian and Gongsun Jia, did not think about the consequences that this might bring? But he did it anyway!
After Shang Martin, a generation of Zonghengxue masters Gongsun Yan and Zhang Yi and others still came to qin court one after the other, but these two people did not seem to have a good ending, and Gongsun Yan rushed from the State of Wei to the State of Qin after the Shang Martingale, and was soon appointed as a general.
"Han Feizi Wai Chu said on the upper right": "Rhinoceros (Gongsun Yan's other name, author's note), the good general of the world, the minister of the King of Liang." ”）
Therefore, he showed his skills and led the elite of Great Qin to launch a fierce attack on the homeland of the Qin State, the land of Hexi that had been seized by Wu Qisheng, and he carried out cultural relics at the same time, and there were frequent plots, first taking Yin Jin and establishing a bridgehead for Great Qin to advance eastward, and then leading an army to attack the wei state's core stronghold in Hexi - Diaoyin and other places, not only completely crushing the 80,000 Wei army, but also capturing the veteran general Long Jia of the Wei state, helping the Qin state to seize Hexi, it can be said that it was directly after the Xihe County to defend Wu Qi. But he is such a battle-hardened general. Since Zhang Yi entered Qin, after shaking his lips and drumming his tongue, he failed to get one step closer to the position of Daliangzao, and he left Qin in a daze, and after that, he even stirred up activities such as "The King of the Five Kingdoms" and became angry and angry at Qin.
Only to see the new people happy, not to see the old people crying, qin state treated Gongsun Yan like this, is it too chilling? Can't the clever Zhang Yi see this? Don't understand? However, he still took office in the united states, and for the sake of Great Qin's national interests, he did not hesitate to return to the country many times, go deep into the nations, and take chestnuts for the fire of Great Qin, especially in the Chu Kingdom, and on the basis of deceiving the King of Chu Huai, his anger was extreme, and he must kill him quickly, but still decided to send another mission to the Chu State. Rao was so painstakingly worried about Great Qin, successfully completed one diplomatic task after another, and made great achievements in the world, but in the end, when King Wu of Qin came to power, he was still doomed, fortunately, he was extremely resourceful, grabbed the King of Qi and hated him to the bone, threatened him to go to that country, and the State of Qi sent troops to attack that country, which persuaded the King of Qin to let him go, provoked the Six Kingdoms to continue infighting, and estimated that King Wu of Qin would like the State of Qi to kill him, so that he still had an excuse to avenge Zhang Yi and establish his name of honoring the virtuous and talented.
Zhang Yi didn't know? But he still came without hesitation, but he simulated acceptance.
After Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan, above the Qin court, another pair of joyful enemies appeared, one of them was Bai Qi's Bole— Wei Ran from the Chu State, and one was praised by Li Si as "making Qin into the imperial industry". In the zhaowang period, these two people were the same, one after the other, in order to unify the world as soon as possible for Great Qin, racked their brains and exhausted their wisdom, Wei Ran and Bai Qi's golden partner, one strategized, one decisive victory, through decades of conquest, the former overlord Wei Guo was completely flattened, and then the Chu state, which was known as the strongest in the world, was hit by brain bleeding, and the nostrils did not dare to come out of the atmosphere. This was a great achievement, and later Fan Ju seized on some of Wei Ran's strategic mistakes, just as Zhang Yi had squeezed out Gongsun Yan in the past, and quickly replaced him. Wei Ran eventually died in a fiefdom that was constantly under attack by Qi Wei.
But Fan Ju, the brilliant geopolitical strategist, killed Bai Qi, and his own end was not much better. He plotted to conquer Korea, and participated in the planning of the Battle of Changping from a lofty height, which removed the last obstacle to Qin's unification of the world, laying the foundation for the later poetry immortal Li Bai's words: "The king of Qin swept Liuhe, looking down on He Xiongya? "A feat. But later, in the Battle of Handan, because of his selfish intentions, the state of Qin was defeated, and it was even implicated in the crimes committed by his own benefactor, and it is said that he was executed by the King of Qin (
Fan Ju's ultimate fate, just like Wei Ran, died in the fiefdom, and there is a certain controversy, editor's note
）。
After the King of Qin quelled the rebellion, Lü Buwei first resigned, his whole family moved to Shudi, and was later forced to commit suicide, and the edict of the King of Qin for forcing him to commit suicide turned out to be, "What credit do you have to the State of Qin?" He even denied this. Li Si had written the Book of Expulsion, did he not know the final outcome of the people he listed in the text, but he still pleaded to stay in the Qin Kingdom, why?
What is the most desired in the heart of a person with brilliant intellect and original pursuits and ambitions? Is it fame and fortune, glory and wealth, family, friendship and love? Is it a blessing for petty bourgeoisie? No, neither! These, as long as they have a little snack, a little bit of energy, is not how difficult it is, such as writing a little article and other things, how difficult is it for them? It's just a trick. What they really desire in their hearts must be to let the ideal shine into reality and realize the great ambition in their hearts.
The mountains and rivers are chess games, and I am like a black and white child
Fight before the battle, and the fate comes involuntarily
True heroes are always looking for a place to play, their spirit and blood, flowing with the spirit of adventure, for the achievement of achievements, whether it is wind and frost, rain and snow, or suffering and suffering, or sword and light sword shadow, will not let them submit. As long as you have the opportunity to achieve your ideals, without you inviting you to please, they will try everything to come over and be willing to gamble and lose. And looking at the six kingdoms, only in Great Qin, only in the Fallen Son Tianyuan, can they unify the world, the four seas are one as the ideology of their own rule, both have the corresponding conditions and foundations, and have the ambition to soar above the clouds, Great Qin, only have their place to play, they are like moths to the time of great Qin, success or failure, long ago left behind, always put their personal honor first, what big things? Mr. Han Yu saw this very clearly.
Death and life and mourning and joy are abandoned, and it is not a gain or loss to pay idle people. — Han Yu's "Suddenly"
As long as you have talent, ability, dreams, eager to make meritorious achievements, eager to turn the talent in your heart into the fruits of reality, come, come, I give you armor, give you swords, let you enter the court of Great Qin, let you board the chariot of Great Qin, give you the right to command thousands of troops and horses, give you the right to kill the wolf under the Ziwei Star, once, you were just a piece of debris, trembling in the sky of life, come, come, come to Great Qin, do your best, wear a strong and sharp, attack the city strategically, you are the firmament, Everything in the world is nothing but a million grains of sand on your shore. This is almost like the metacosm of the current capital boom.
As a side branch of the Korean nobility, Han Feizi witnessed the poverty and weakness of Korea, often cut the land to pay compensation, repeatedly sighed, and constantly wrote to the King of Han to change the law to strengthen Han, striving to be strong, helplessly this group of people in Korea was drunk and dreaming of death, a stubborn and secret life, not only ignored Han Feizi, but also repeatedly ridiculed, how would Han Feizi feel? Fan Ju had sincerely hoped to serve the State of Wei and revitalize the State of Wei, even though he generously stood up and made an impassioned remark, saying that the King of Qi was dumbfounded, but secretly admired, made meritorious achievements, and later had a high wind and bright festival, and did not accept the recruitment of the State of Qi. Not only did he not get the opportunity, but he was persecuted by the State of Wei, how would he feel about such a State of Wei?
Without the ideal of excellence, without the realization of the ideal, the gradual widening of the belt and the final regret, the haggard determination of the people of Yi que, the inability to provide a place for talents, and only seeking temporary peace, it is impossible to attract real talents to swear to die.
And these heroes, as Mr. Gu Long said in "Heroes Without Tears",
The song of the singer, the dance of the dancer, the sword of the swordsman, the pen of the literati, and the ambition of the hero are all like this. As long as you don't die, you can't give up
。 It was gratifying and tearful, but it was also frightening!
