When the prime minister of a country had to exhaust all his strength and hang up the seal of the six kingdoms, how did Su Qin do it?

Su Qin (苏秦), also spelled Jizi (337 BC---284 BC) was a native of Luoyang, Eastern Zhou during the Warring States period, born as a farmer, from a humble family, but he had great ambitions.

The Warring States inherited the Spring and Autumn Chaos, the Middle Hundred Schools of Thought contended, and after the Great Qin Empire, Su Qin was born and raised during this period.

However, originally a weak scholar, with his superhuman wisdom and mysterious strategy, hung up the seal of the Six Kingdoms and controlled the countries at that time, how did he do it?

He had studied under the Oniguzi Gate for many years, but after he left the school, he had nowhere to display his talents, and the road to his career was extremely difficult.

The parents let their son sell all the valuable things in the family in exchange for gold, and Su Qin used the money to buy a good car, a good horse, and a good dress for himself, and bid farewell to his hometown and began his "lobbying" career.

Su Qin ran all over the world, there was no way to start, and finally came to the Qin Kingdom, already penniless, he sold the carriage and horse, opened the joints needed to see the King of Qin, and finally met the King of Qin, but the Qin Xiaogong who reused the Shang Martingale was already dead, and it was King Qin Huiwen who split the Shang Martingale car after he took the throne, how could he use a lobbyist again, no matter how Su Qin's "strategy of offering the empire" was ultimately a futile effort.

Su Qin returned to his hometown after suffering hardships, poor and destitute, met with the white eyes of his family, his wife continued to weave without getting off the plane, his sister-in-law refused to cook for him on the grounds that there was no firewood, and his parents sighed.

Although Su Qin was snubbed, he still refused to listen to his father's advice to let him farm. He continued to pick up the bamboo jane, open the collection of books and began to study hard, day and night, sleepy, he used his sister-in-law's awl to make shoes to stab himself, with the help of the pain, let himself awake.

A year later, Su Qin had trained everything in himself, the invincible tongue of the world, the shame that the world could endure, and the determination and will to never give up. Starting from his own country, his goal was more clear, straight to the Zhao kingdom, but the king of the Zhao kingdom did not accept him, Su Qin smiled frankly: "I will come back."

At the royal palace of the State of Yan, the King of Yan listened to his suggestion of "continuously leading the Six Kingdoms" to resist Qiang Qin, prepared a cart, horse, gold and silver for him, and sent a high-profile envoy to the Six Kingdoms.

Finally, some people were willing to use themselves, and Su Qin suddenly jumped at the dragon gate, the carriages and horses followed each other, the Shandong countries heard the wind and went along, and the anti-Qin strategy of "six countries in a row" was echoed by the nations.

Once Su Qin wanted to go to the Chu kingdom, passing through his hometown, and before he arrived home, he saw his family in the suburbs to greet him, the door was cleaned up, his wife was cramped and uneasy, and his sister-in-law knelt down to prostrate to him. "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't have given your brother such a big gift!" The sister-in-law said: "Your carriage and horse are mighty, your entourage is numerous, the gold and silver are full of boxes, and the clothes are too awesome!" ”

From then on, the State of Qin did not dare to hold the strong to bully the weak and small countries, and within more than ten years, it did not take a step out of the Hangu Pass, and the Six Kingdoms were able to live in peace and tranquility for fifteen years.
