The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were a period of drastic changes in Chinese history. The Zhou Dynasty gradually disintegrated in this change, and eventually disappeared, and a great change was also brewing in thinking, that is, a hundred schools of thought.
In this academic controversy that has taken a hundred years, many important figures in the history of Chinese thought have been born, and they have even influenced the direction of the entire Chinese history. Confucius raised the banner of liturgy and music to reproduce the glory of the Zhou Dynasty; Lao Tzu advocated inaction and advocated small countries and widows; Mozi asked for the people's life and admired both love.
There is such a sect in the Hundred Sons of the Sons, who lobby the king with a three-inch incorruptible tongue and influence the trend of the world. As one of the representatives of the Zongheng family, Su Qin has drawn a strong stroke in history.
Depression is not encouraging
Although Su Qin came from a peasant family, his ambition was not above this acre and three points of land, and he went to the Country of Qi despite his family's opposition and worshiped under the ghost valley.
Many years later, Su Qin returned from his studies, and he placed his first stop in the Qin State, which was the most powerful at that time. As everyone knows, when he came to the Qin Kingdom with full of enthusiasm, King Hui of Qin poured a scoop of cold water on him.
Su Qin first analyzed the advantages of the Qin state to the King of Qin one by one, and then stated to the King of Qin the current ills of the Qin State, hoping that the King of Qin would use him as a good medicine to help the Qin State unify the world. In the face of Su Qin's mouth hanging in the river, King Hui of Qin was drowsy and said that he would listen to his teachings in the next day.
After being frustrated, Su Qin still did not give up, and kept writing and reporting to the King of Qin, but he never got a reply, so that his sable coat was torn, hundreds of taels of gold were used up, and his life became poor.
In desperation, Su Qin only slipped away from the Qin State and returned to his hometown. When he returned home with a look of guilt, he waited for the snub of his family. When his wife saw Su Qin return, she did not even get off the loom, and continued to weave without changing her face, her sister-in-law did not cook for him, and her parents did not talk to him.
Zhuangzhi was not rewarded and was snubbed by his family, Su Qin could not help but sigh: "Now my wife does not treat me as a husband, my sister-in-law does not treat me as an uncle, and my father and mother do not treat me as a son. ”
After thinking bitterly, Su Qin believed that the failure was due to his lack of knowledge. So he got up overnight, rummaged through the book box, found Jiang Taigong's soldier's book, and buried his head in hard reading.
A book was topped over and over in his hand, and he had to read it until he was familiar with it before he would stop. When he was tired, he stuck a needle in his thigh, and the blood flowed all the way to his heel.
After insisting on this for a whole year, Su Qin already knew Jiang Taigong's way of using soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now you can really lobby the monarchs of various countries." ”
Holding the seal of the six kingdoms, the power is tilted for a while
After Su Qin left the customs, he was bound to avenge the humiliation of the King of Qin, and this time the target was no longer strong Qin but weak Qin, and he set his sights on Zhao Guo, the old enemy of the Qin State.
Su Qin came to the main hall and fought with his tongue, leaving many Zhao Guo's strategists speechless. His intransigence was greatly appreciated by King Zhao, and he immediately made Su Qin the Prince of Wu'anjun and conferred the Seal on him. In order to help Su Qin realize his ambition to join hands, he was also given countless gold and silver jewels.
Su Qin came to the northern Yan kingdom again, he analyzed the relationship between Zhao Yan's lips and teeth for the King of Yan, told the wolf ambitions of the Qin people, and successfully persuaded the King of Yan to give up his feud with Zhao for many years and thus become one with the Zhao state.
Before leaving, the King of Yan also promised Su Qin that if Su Qin could really reach a connivance and protect the Yan state, he promised that Yan Xiangzhi would be located in Su Qin.
After that, Su Qin went south and came to Handi. Due to its proximity to the Qin state, Korea's national strength was the weakest, and it was humiliated in order to survive by cutting off the city and sacrificing land. Su Qin explained to King Han one by one the ills of submitting to the State of Qin, and King Han's face changed drastically on the spot, and he expressed his willingness to obey Su Qin's arrangement.
After successfully convincing the States of Wei, Qi, and Chu, the Six Kingdoms formally reached a cooperative alliance, and Su Qin was appointed as the head of the Alliance, while also holding the Seal of the Six Kingdoms. Su Qin only relied on a three-inch tongue that was not rotten, so that the world, from the princes and nobles down to the common people, obeyed his orders, and achieved true power over the world.
In the face of the unity of the six eastern kingdoms, the Qin state no longer dared to easily provoke a war, and retreated in Hangu Pass for 15 years.
When Su Qin was passing through his hometown, local officials immediately set up a banquet to entertain, and Su Qin's parents also cleaned up the house, cleaned the street, and even personally greeted him 30 miles away.
After seeing Su Qin, his wife was also ashamed of her original behavior, and even did not dare to look at him head-on. The sister-in-law was even creeping on the ground like a snake, constantly prostrating her head, begging for Su Qin's forgiveness.
Su Qin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he had gone from being cold-eyed to being highly respected today, all of which were the roles of power and money, wasn't it for this in his life?
The car cracked and died
The conclusion of the Six-Nation Covenant will make the dream of the Qin State to unify the world a bubble, which is obviously unacceptable to the Qin people. The King of Qin sent emissaries to persuade Qi and Wei to join forces to attack Zhao in order to sabotage the strategy of combined indulgence.
The sudden attack of Qi Wei made the State of Zhao very passive, suffered a great loss, and the King of Zhao was very angry and rebuked Su Qin, who, fearing being killed, requested to go to the State of Yan and vowed to avenge the rebellion of the two states of Qi and Wei.
At this time, the State of Yan was on the throne of King Yi of Yan, and the State of Qi took advantage of the mourning of the State of Yan to seize more than ten cities of the State of Yan. Su Qin was ordered to send an envoy to the State of Qi to recover the encroached land.
Fortunately, Su Qin once again showed his three inches of uncorrupted tongue, and retrieved the land without spending a single soldier, and the King of Yan admired him and gave him a high-ranking official Houlu.
What was astonishing was that Su Qin had actually been involved with King Yan's mother, which was simply a slap in the face. Seeing that the matter was revealed, Su Qin requested to go to the State of Qi to weaken Qi.
Perhaps it was the guilt of the King of Yan, or the revenge of the previous rebellion of the State of Qi, Su Qin arrived in the State of Qi and made the State of Qi a miasma.
After the death of King Xuan of Qi, King Qi Tang ascended the throne, and Su Qin promoted Confucian loyalty and filial piety and advocated thick burials. Saying that only a thick burial can show respect and filial piety to the deceased, the King of Qi Tang was really deceived and began to build a large number of civil engineering, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources and endangered the national capital of the State of Qi.
The traitors were in charge, much to the displeasure of the loyalists of the State of Qi, so they sent assassins to kill Su Qin. Su Qin, who was known for his tongue-in-cheek, had seen such a posture, and although he was not killed on the spot, he was also killed soon.
King Qi Tang saw Aichen assassinated and wantonly arrested the assassins, but to no avail.
Su Qin knew that his fate would soon be over, so he aligned his plans with the king and said, "Great King, I have a good plan to lead out the assassins." I was running out of time, but the king could say that I was a meticulous work of the Yan Kingdom, and that I would be rewarded with five horses and a reward for the assassins. ”
The King of Qi followed Su Qin's instructions and successfully captured the Assassins in only three days, killing them all. However, what King Qi Tang did not expect was that these assassins were his only remaining loyalists, and the state of Qi was also devastated after this.
