Hello everyone Here is historical gossip. We know that in the late Warring States period, the strength of the Qin state was strong enough to hang the six kingdoms of Shandong, but fortunately, Zhao Qi, Wei and Chu had thousands of retainers, the most famous of which were the four princes below, namely Zhao Sheng, the plain king of the Zhao state, the Meng TianWen of the State of Qi, the Xinling jun of the State of Wei, Wei Wujie, and the Chunshen Junhuang Xie of the State of Chu. This prince also has many talents around him, and he has also made a difference in his own country, and it is said that these four countries, with the assistance of this prince, can also withstand the attack of the Qin state! But why, in the end, these four kingdoms were still destroyed by the Qin state? Are these four princes famous all over the world? We may wish to find the answer from the good names of these four sons. First, let's talk about Xin Lingjun. Xin Lingjun was the one who stole the charm to save Zhao. When the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao, and when the State of Zhao was almost unable to resist, he sent people to the State of Wei several times to ask for help. We all believe that the King of Wei responded to the Zhao State's request for help and sent troops, but at the same time, fearing the retaliation of the powerful Qin State, he let the reinforcements sent stay stationed in Yecheng. However, Xin Lingjun could not sit still, because of the principle of cold lips and teeth, if he did not save the Zhao State, the Wei State would be in danger; saving Zhao was equivalent to saving Wei. Therefore, the disciples of Xin Lingjun gave Xin Lingjun a plan, asking Ai Ji of the King of Wei to steal the soldier's charm and relieve the siege of the Zhao kingdom.

Although stealing the charm to save Zhao is the highlight moment of Xin Lingjun's life, we must know that this is xin Lingjun's personal point of view. If Xin Lingjun's personal views are placed on the interests of the Wei state, Xin Lingjun's approach is to undermine the Wei king's strategic deployment of the entire country. First, since the King of Wei had sent a large army to support the Zhao State, he knew the truth of the death of his lips and teeth. Second, the King of Wei let the Jin army stand still is not afraid to help the Zhao State, turning back will attract the retaliation of the Qin State, otherwise it will not send a large army, as for the King of Wei to let the army stationed in Yicheng is to maximize the interests of the Wei State from this war, one can let the Qin and Zhao countries consume each other's strength, and the other can also reap the benefits of the fisherman. In short, no matter how wei dared to send a large army out, it was not afraid to offend the qin state, and stationed in Yicheng was just waiting for the opportunity to maximize the interests of the Wei state. The credible Lingjun stole the charm to kill Jin, allowing the army to immediately support the Zhao State, disrupting the plan of the King of Wei, and even allowing the Wei State to lose a major general for no reason, knowing that "a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and one will be difficult to find.".
Here we can see that the Xin LingJun stole the charm to save Zhao seems to be famous, but in fact, it deprived the State of Wei of an opportunity to step on other countries and dominate the Warring States. The State of Wei was better off not having the Xin Lingjun.
There are many allusions to Meng Tianjun, the most famous of which is the story of "Chicken Singing Dog Thief", which says that Meng Tianjun, who was trapped in the Qin Kingdom, was rescued from the Qin State by two doormen who would call chickens and dogs. This story has won Meng Tianjun a reputation that is not underestimated, although this reputation of Meng Tianjun makes us enjoy it in later generations, but Meng Tianjun under this reputation, indiscriminately kills innocents in the Zhao Kingdom.
It is said that when Meng Tianjun escaped from the Qin Kingdom, he came to visit the Plain Jun of the Zhao Kingdom, and the people of the Zhao Kingdom knew about it, so they came to watch, and the road was blocked by the water, and they all wanted to see this famous Meng Tianjun. Meng Tianjun himself is quite famous, but his appearance is not good, and he is ugly and short. This disappointed the people of the Zhao Kingdom who came to watch, and in their hearts the great hero Meng Tianjun, who fled the Qin Kingdom, should be a burly man, but meng Tianjun, who has seen this appearance now. The huge sense of psychological gap made those ordinary people of zhao guo can't help but whisper: "At the beginning, Xue Gong was the leader, and now he sees it as a little husband's ear!" "Because Meng Tianjun's fiefdom is in XueDi, it is also known as Xue Gong."
Although the people of Zhao Guo are telling the truth, who can stand the criticism of others? Meng Tianjun himself was no exception, and he "smelled it and was angry." When the guests came down, they killed hundreds of people and destroyed a county." This famous Meng Tianjun was very angry, so he led the doormen, slashed and killed hundreds of ordinary people who came to watch him, and then fled.
Judging from the fact that Meng Tianjun slaughtered the people of zhao guo, on the one hand, it shows that Meng Tianjun is a small-minded person, because the people of zhao guo are angry and slaughter people in a county with a single word, how can they lead the country to become rich and strong? Moreover, through the incident of Meng Tianjun leading the disciples to slash and kill the common people, it is not difficult to see that most of the disciples under his door are unkind and unjust, how can such a group of people help the Qi state become strong? When Sima Qian wrote the "Biography of The Chronicle of Meng Yujun", he said: "I have tasted Xue, and his customs have many violent disciples, and Zou and Lu Shu. Asked why, he said: "Meng Yujun caused renxia in the world, and the adulterer entered Xue Zhong's house to cover more than 60,000 homes." 'The legend of the world is that Meng Yujun is hospitable and self-congratulatory, and his name is not worthy. "A place introduces not talents to govern the country, but "violent children", if you want to govern well, it is also difficult! The State of Qi has this Meng Yujun is better than nothing.
The Chunshen Jun Huang Xie of the Chu Kingdom was a man who had experienced hardships. He was a hostage in the Qin Kingdom together with the crown prince who was still the Prince of Chu at the time, and the days of sending people under the fence were called a miserable. One day, when he heard that the King of Chu was dying, he found someone to say good things to the King of Qin, and wanted the Prince of Chu, who was a hostage in the Qin Kingdom, to return to China to fight for the throne. But the King of Qin's side just didn't agree. For the sake of the throne of the Prince of Chu and his own future, Chun Shenjun let the prince finish a plan to get rid of the golden cicada, and he also ordered him not to stay in the Qin kingdom to stabilize the king of Qin, but also to let the prince return to the Chu country and become the king, which was the later King Chu Kao Lie.
Then again, after the crown prince became the king of Chu, naturally he would not forget to desperately make himself the king of Chu Huang Xie, the domestic big and small things have him presided over, but also named him Chun Shenjun, so far, Huang Xie's efforts have been extremely rich returns, can be described as fame and fortune.
To say that this Huang Xie is also a talent, after mastering the real power of the Chu State, he did a lot of things for the Chu State, the Chu State also once had the scene of ZTE, but this scene is also short-lived, why is it like this? This also starts with the doorman of Chun Shen Jun.
Pingyuan Jun of the State of Zhao heard that Chun Shenjun was saying that there was no difference in the Chu State, so he sent his own disciples to visit Chun Shenjun in order to seek friendship between Chu and Zhao. Chun Shenjun naturally warmly entertained these emissaries and let them stay in the most superior hotel. On the other hand, these disciples of the Zhao Kingdom, not knowing whether they were too strong in self-expression or at the behest of Pingyuan Jun, made a request to Chun Shenjun to meet with their disciples, in order to boast of their wealth as a Pingyuan Jun's disciples to show the virtue of Pingyuan Jun's good at raising soldiers.
For this meeting, Pingyuan Jun's doorman deliberately inserted a tortoiseshell hairpin on his head, hung a sword sheath inlaid with pearls and jade in his waist, and came to the hall with the style of a heavenly boss and my second son. But what they never expected was that Chun Shenjun was also prepared, and the doormen who came to meet were wearing shoes made of orbs. This scene made the disciples of the Plain King ashamed of themselves.
It can be seen from here that the ZTE scene presented by Chun Shenjun in the early days of his reign was later a flash in the pan, because his power swelled, and in the later period, he only wanted his own pleasure, no longer did practical things for the Chu state, personally sowed the seeds for the civil strife of the Chu state, and himself was killed. Do you say that the Chu kingdom has Chun Shenjun good or bad?
Finally, let's talk about Zhao Sheng, the plain king of the Zhao Kingdom. Sima once had a relatively high evaluation of Pingyuan Jun, saying that Zhao Sheng was "the best prince of the world". Later, after Sima Qian finished saying Zhao Sheng's good words, the style of painting changed, saying that he "did not see the general body" and "Li Lingzhi dim", and listed that because of "the heresy of the Plains Jun's greed for Feng Ting, Zhao trapped more than 400,000 soldiers in Changping, and Several died in Handan".
The causes and consequences of the Battle of Changping are familiar to everyone, so I won't say more here. We may wish to take a look at another story of Pingyuan Jun's "unseen body" and "Li Lingzhi Dim". Legend has it that there was a cripple in the family next to the Pingyuan Jun's family, and this lame man was always limping, and once this lame man came out to fetch water, and pingyuan Jun's concubine saw that it was funny and laughed out.
The crippled man felt insulted, so he came to the door and asked Pingyuan Jun to kill this concubine, and Pingyuan Jun replied perfunctorily: Be well. Psychology but thought, my concubine laughed at you, I will kill her, this excessive request, but after a year, Pingyuanjun found that his disciples were much less, and when he asked about the situation, it was because he had lost his faith in others, and the doormen all felt that Pingyuanjun did not keep his promises, so they all left. Pingyuan Jun began to panic, killed his concubine, and went to the door to apologize to the lame man.
In the related material "History of The Chronicle of Junyu Qing of the Plains", Sima Qian wrote this allusion as the beginning. Without looking closely, I thought that Sima Qian was praising Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng as a light color and heavy friend, and after carefully tasting it, I felt that Sima Qian was saying that Pingyuan Jun was not a good person. At the end of the book, Sima Qian once said: "It was when Qi had Meng, Wei, and Chu, and Chu, so they rushed to wait for the soldiers." The word "tilt" here is meant to tell us that the four princes of the Warring States have reached the point of unscrupulous means in order to gain the "benefit" of raising a good name. Among them, Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, killed The Concubine in order to win this "profit", because even if he killed his own Concubine, the doorman did not come back many people, and there was such a sentence that "the back door is a little more." This "slightly" here is really worth a closer look! On the one hand, this shows that those disciples left Pingyuanjun because Pingyuanjun really had problems with being a person and did not keep his promises, and he did not complain about the concubine at all. On the other hand, it also tells us from the side that such a cruel person as Ping Yuanjun who does not hesitate to kill the bed with himself for his own fame and fortune, a person who only thinks of his own interests and does not resort to any means, his heart will not really be used for the strength of the Zhao Kingdom. Here we can see that the Pingyuan Jun ruled in the Warring States, not only can not make the country strong, but also will make the Zhao State faint, the later Battle of Changping is the best example, so the Zhao State is better than no Pingyuan Jun.
In the chaotic era of the Warring States, the ability and character of this fourth prince not only could not make his country strong, but also made his country more and more chaotic, so it was reasonable that all countries were destroyed by the Qin state.
