For the Qin State, the significance of the Shang martingale transformation method can be described as very important. After all, after the Shang Dynasty, the State of Qin could be said to be truly powerful and powerful, and won the qualification to compete with the Eastern princes for the Central Plains. Behind the change of law is the monarch of the Qin state who gave Shang Martingale great support- Yingqu Liang.
This young monarch of the Qin state can be said to have great appreciation for shang martingale, and there is even a record in the Warring States Policy that "for eighteen years of filial piety, he was sick and could not afford to pass on the martingale, and he could not resign." "The gist is that before Qin Xiaogong died, he wanted to pass the throne to Shang Martin, but Shang Martin did not accept it.
So, did Qin Xiaogong really want to pass the throne to Shang Martin? If you accept it, will there be a later five-horse split?
First, temptation or sincerity
Did Qin Xiaogong really want to pass on the throne of the country to a person with a foreign surname?
I think that's very unlikely.
After all, how many people in the world can really have the world in mind and not take personal interests?
The words of Filial Piety before his death can be said to be a temptation, or it can be said to be a cryptic reminder.
You know, at that time, the country was still a country with one surname, in the end, if Shang Martin became a king, then where would his son Ying Si be placed?
Is it difficult to let Ying Si be the left chief?
In addition, because of the implementation of the new law, Shang Martin caused a lot of vested interests to the traditional aristocratic class, and many people held a grudge against him, eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.
If Shang Martin comes to power, it will inevitably lead to the instability of the internal ruling group, and the excellent situation since the change of law may be destroyed.
Therefore, my guess is that Qin Xiaogong not only took the opportunity to try to knock on the martingale, but also did not have the slightest intention of dissuading him.
As we all know, "cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook, birds are exhausted, and good bows are hidden."
How could Shang Martin not know?
Moreover, Qin Xiaogong's hint was already obvious, that is, after I died, if you were not the emperor, you would not be able to suppress those clan nobles.
If you are not the emperor, then hurry up and slip away, the farther you run, the better!
Unfortunately, Shang Martin didn't know whether he really didn't understand it or pretended not to understand it.
Second, why does shang martingale die?
The tragedy of Shang Martingale mainly stems from two aspects, one is that Shang Martin itself covets power and has too much credit, and the other is that the external vendetta is too deep.
The so-called greed for power is naturally the pleasure of Shang Martin's reluctance to the high-ranking official Houlu of the Qin State and the reluctance to kill and seize it.
If you can learn from Fan Li's rapids and retreat and escape from the Qin State, you may not have a way to live.
If the credit is too great, it is better understood.
Just as the so-called meritorious and high-shock masters are not rewarded, the results of the Martingale Transformation Law are so remarkable that their status in the minds of the people even surpasses that of the monarch.
Such "great troubles" should be doubted by any new king.
On the other hand, the interests of the old nobles were deprived by the Shang martingale, but the old nobles were also one of the important foundations of the rule of the Qin state, and their emotions must be guided to a reasonable catharsis, otherwise it was a major hidden danger for the Qin state.
Although it is the Qin royal family who really holds the knife behind it, it is always impossible to take out the people of the royal family, Shang Martin, naturally became the best scapegoat target.
Under the combined effect of various reasons, the martingale will not die.
3. Imperial Mind Technique
Shang Martin's death was of great benefit to the new monarch of the Qin State.
On the one hand, killing shang martingale can "avenge" the Xungui clan class, unite internal forces, and effectively stabilize the foundation of rule.
On the one hand, after killing the number one hero of Tianzi and establishing the authority of the new monarch, his subordinates must firmly unite around the monarch, not the Shang jun.
On the other hand, shang martingale was dead, and the opponents of the New Deal had no so-called excuse, so the New Deal was able to continue to be implemented, and the obstacle was almost completely removed.
If one person dies, he can get three major benefits!
So, how can a martingale not die?
The king's mind, the emperor's mind, is the above.
Poor Shang Martin, maybe he didn't understand it himself, maybe he could escape back to his fiefdom, behind which the new jun was doing the pushing hand behind him.
After all, killing a hero requires a justified reason!
