He was brilliant, but he was jealous and beaten by his superiors, and he almost died. He, jing wei will repay, the grievances will be repaid, the court insults Xu Jia, forcing the god of war to die white, but some people still say that he is a generation of sages.
He attacked from afar and closely, encroached on the countries, fixed the trunk and cut the branches, strengthened the royal power, and made the country stronger and stronger. He is the master of strategists who attack from afar and closely, and Fan Ju who will repay with his eyes. Is he a famous person or a despicable villain?
Hello everyone, I am Ah Pig Shu Huang, today I will take you to read Fan Ju.
Fan Ju (范雎), a native of the Warring States period, was a native of the State of Wei (present-day Shanxi). Born into a poor family, he was intelligent, studious, and well-spoken. He always believed that with his wisdom, courage, and strategy, he would be able to break out of the world, rise to the top of his ranks, and walk to the peak of his life. Unfortunately, it is bad luck, bad teachers, and bumps into walls everywhere. No money, no connections, no chance to show their talents.
In desperation, he could only turn to Wei Guozhong's doctor Xu Jia and be a doorman. Xu Jia was an eloquent man who was in charge of the foreign affairs of the Wei state, and often represented the king of Wei on his missions to various countries. Not long after, Xu Jia was ordered to send an envoy to the State of Qi, and Fan Ju was also on the list of envoys. He thought it was an opportunity, but he never expected that what awaited him was a disaster.
After coming to the country of Qi, they stayed for several months and could not talk about anything. This was because the State of Wei had previously had conflicts with the State of Qi, and the King of Qi had no intention of treating them well, and openly insulted Xu Jia. Fan Ju saw that his superiors were insulted, so he stood up and debated with the King of Qi. When King Qi saw that this guy was a talent, not only did not embarrass him, but also sent him money, wine and meat, etc. Fan Ju faced these things, unmoved, and resolutely refused.
As his direct superior, Xu Jia not only did not receive the reward, but he was also scolded, and his heart was full of anger, envy and jealousy. Did Fan Ju this boy betray the secrets of the State of Wei, so the King of Qi would send you money, wine and meat? After returning to the State of Wei, Xu Jia was envious and jealous, so he reported the matter to Wei Qi, the chancellor of the State of Wei.
Wei Qi was eating and drinking with his friends at the time, and he was furious when he heard this. The orderer escorted Fan Ju up and beat dozens of large plates in front of everyone, breaking Fan Ju's ribs and knocking out a few teeth.
He beat Fan Ju until he fainted. Seeing that Fan Ju was motionless, he had people throw him into the toilet and continue to eat and drink. At that time, many of the guests who drank too much drank, and when they went to the toilet, they saw Fan Ju lying there motionless, so they humiliated him and urinated on him to help him drink. Fan Ju was in pain, but he could only endure it in silence.
In the middle of the night, Fan Ju used the remaining strength to beg the guards to let him have a way to live. When the guards saw that he was pitiful, they threw it into the street as if he were dead.
In this way, Fan Ju escaped from death and later fled to the Qin state with the help of the Wei people Zheng Anping and the Qin people Wang Ji.
After coming to the Qin Kingdom, Fan Ju changed his name to Zhang Lu, hid his name, and waited for the opportunity. After more than a year, the opportunity finally came, and with the help of Wang Ji, he got the opportunity to meet King Yingji of Qin. The great difficulty of not dying will have a blessing, and from then on, Fan Ju embarked on his path to the peak of his life. He helped the King of Qin to cut through the thorns and go all the way.
Externally, we should adopt the strategy of attacking from afar and encroaching on the countries, first make good friends with the more distant countries, and attack the neighboring countries to get rid of the troubles of the confidants. In this series of conquests, Fan Ju's talents as a politician, military strategist, and diplomat were fully demonstrated, and the strength of the Qin state became stronger and stronger.
Internally, the strategy of consolidating the trunk and cutting branches and strengthening the royal power was adopted, so that the Marquis of Yong resigned and returned home to retire, and the Huayang Jun, Jingyang Jun, and Gao Lingjun were expelled to Guanwai. Empress Dowager Xuanyue was placed in the deep palace, and she was not allowed to interfere in the government. Through these changes, not only the internal hidden dangers were eliminated, but also the centralization of power was strengthened and the political power was more consolidated.
This series of internal and external implementations has made Fan Ju famous all over the world and the color of the talk has changed. It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and the more important the person, the more measured and patient he is. But Fan Ju is not such a person, he will not only verbally not forgive those who have humiliated him, but also retaliate with actions.
After adopting the strategy of long-distance and close attack, the King of Qin planned to attack the State of Wei, and when the State of Wei learned of it, he sent emissaries to seek peace. Fan Ju heard that the emissary sent by the State of Wei happened to be the old boss Xu Jia. Haha, look how I packed you up. Fan Ju took off his dress and put on a civilian costume to look shabby and depressed. Go to the inn and pretend to meet by chance. Xu Jia was very surprised to see that he was an old subordinate who had not been seen for many years. Ask him how he has been mixed recently, Fan Ju said, now help people run errands, send couriers, make it pass, is a little tired. After asking Han For a short time, Xu Jia said to his old colleague and old subordinate, I invite you to have a meal. They chatted while eating, and Xu Jia said that this time he came to see Zhang Lu, the minister of the Qin Kingdom, and asked if he could help lead the way? Fan Ju said that his master happened to have a very good relationship with Xiang Xiang, and he often went in and out of Xiang Mansion and could lead the way. Fan Ju agreed and acted as a groom for him. Xu Jia was overjoyed and gave Fan Ju a piece of clothing, so they came to the door of the Xiang Mansion.
Fan Ju parked the car and said to go in to report, and then when he entered the door, he disappeared, Xu Jia waited for a long time, thinking that he would not be deceived by the bad old man, so he asked the servant at the gate where Fan Ju had gone, the servant shook his head and did not know, Xu Jia asked the bad old man who had just driven, the servant was stunned, that is our family good country, Xu Jia was shocked, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the heart beat faster, and then realized that this was Fan Ju teasing him, thought for a moment, quickly stripped off his shirt, and bowed his head at the door. Fan Ju was addicted enough to appear in full costume, and the majesty was magnificent. Fan Ju counted the three major crimes against Xu Jia and said, "You should have cut off your head and drained your blood to pay for the hatred before you came here." However, considering that you are still nostalgic for the old love and sent me clothes, so I will not kill you. Sujah prostrated his head in thanks and crawled out.
A few days later, Fan Ju set up a banquet and invited envoys from various countries to the banquet, but placed a manger in front of Xu Jia, which was filled with grass bean feed, and the two sides were not serving maids but prisoners, in order to humiliate Xu Jia, and said on the spot that if wei wanted peace, it must be exchanged for Wei Qi's head. When Wei Qi learned of this, emperor Houcang fled and fled to the Zhao State Pingyuan Jun to seek refuge, but what he did not expect was that Fan Ju still did not spare and used the strength of the whole country to threaten the King of Zhao, in order to capture Wei Qi, Wei Qi could not imagine that his drunken wanton behavior had caused such a big trouble, although the world was big but there was no place for him, and he was finally forced to kill himself, which was the allusion that Fan Ju would repay. Fan Ju will repay the favor of the benefactor who has helped him. Zheng Anping was recommended as a general and Wang Ji was made the Taishou of Hedong. For those who have helped themselves, Fan Ju is even more grateful for scattering his family wealth.
Fan Ju never suppressed his own nature, there are clear grievances, there will be revenge, there will be revenge, there will be revenge, this look is like most people in our lives. Therefore, we will not resent his revenge, but will feel that it is too cool to finally get revenge.
After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi wanted to divide his troops into three ways and destroy Zhao in one fell swoop. Fan Ju was worried that after Bai Qi destroyed Zhao, his position would be above his own, but he was afraid that his position would not be guaranteed. In order to prevent Bai Qi from rebuilding his immortal achievements, Fan Ju suggested that king Zhaoxiang of Qin agree to the peace between Zhao and Han on the grounds that the Qin army had suffered more than half of the casualties, the generals were exhausted, and the national treasury was almost empty, so that the soldiers could rest and recuperate, and fight again on another day. In fact, what Fan Ju said was also the truth, that is, to miss a good opportunity to destroy Zhao. After King Zhaoxiang of Qin agreed, the two countries withdrew their troops. Afterwards, Bai Qi resented Fan Ju. A year later, the State of Qin again cut down Zhao, and the attack was blocked. The King of Qin ordered Bai Qi to lead the troops out on the expedition, Bai Qi refused to accept the order, after receiving the order to force the troops, Bai Qi still refused to lead the troops out, so three times, the King of Qin was furious, took all the titles of Bai Qi, ordered him to move out of Xianyang, in the middle of the way, Fan Ju persuaded Qin Zhaoxiang King, worried that Bai Qi's heart would not be willing, and it would change for a long time, thus contributing to Bai Qi's suicide.
Fan Ju is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and his eyes will be rewarded. However, those who contributed to the Qin state, in the Battle of Changping, he used the anti-plot to make the Zhao State replace Lian Po with a paper soldier, and defeated the Zhao army in vain, which was a national battle on the road of unification and hegemony of the Qin State. He is not a saint, and he also has shortcomings, the so-called no one is perfect. But his spirit of facing difficulties, reborn by forbearance and death, and being good at seizing opportunities is worth learning.
Finally, Fan Ju suggested that King Zhaoxiang of Qin appoint Cai Ze as his chancellor. After the smooth handover, Fan Ju retreated bravely and returned to the fiefdom, where he soon fell ill and died. Fan Ju is a good thing for Qin, a good beginning and a good end. Worthy of a generation of famous people!
