In 362 BC, Qin Xiangong led an army of 200,000 to launch the Battle of Shaoliang to retake Hexi, in which the Wei commander Gong Shu was abducted by Qin Xiangong's second son, Yingqu Liang, but Qin Xiangong was also wounded by a wolf poison arrow and was in danger. At this time, Qin Xiangong issued two strange orders in succession, and also said that he wanted to establish a queen for the world, was Qin Xiangong confused on the verge of death?
Qin Xiangong had been in charge of the army for a lifetime, and after this last battle, it was finally going to end and retire, but the chariot of the Qin State still needed to continue to move forward. Because Qin Xiangong was on the verge of death, the State of Qin took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, and the second prince, Yingqu Liang, led his troops to ambush and break the siege, but Gongzi Wei also ordered the class division. Because Gongzi Wei wanted to go back and ask the King of Wei to agree to destroy Qin in one fell swoop.
After the Wei army retreated, Qin Xiangong issued two orders in a row, and these two orders left both sons scratching their heads. On the side of the second son, YinQu Liang, Qin Xiangong ordered Zi'an to take over the Qin army, withdraw to Liyang within a three-day deadline, and go to Chen Cangling, but also return the soldiers. The situation was similar on the side of the eldest son, Yingqian, and Qin Xiangong ordered Yingqian to lead his troops to garrison the mountains and wilderness. This wave came down, and both sons were left hanging on the sidelines.
On Qin Xiangong's side, Qin Xiangong's wife was already very anxious, and she asked Qin Xiangong who he wanted to make as the King of Qin? Qin Xiangong also did not give a letter of approval, and finally simply said that his daughter was most like him and wanted to establish a queen for the world. Qin Xiangong had been on horseback for half his life, so naturally he would not be confused, and at this time, Qin Xiangong was actually still hesitating.
Qin Xiangong's successor was only in the eldest son Yingqian and the second son Yingqu Liang, in a world of great strife, strong enemies around, one step wrong, is the danger of destroying the country. At this time, the qin people of the Qin state were not in accordance with the people's hearts, and Qin Xiangong, who was in the center of the whirlpool, accompanied by his daughter Yingyu, went to Chen Cang's wounded barracks. All the people living here were the wounded soldiers of the Qin State, some with broken legs and some with broken hands, but none of this could stop them from serving the Qin State.
During a conversation, Qin Xiangong looked at these wounded soldiers in front of him, and his choice of heir was clear in his heart, and then he stepped back and asked these veterans about the heir's opinion. In the last short years of his life, Qin Xiangong let these veterans who had paid their lives for the future of the Qin state participate in the decision-making.
In the next sentence, Qin Xiangong arranged the major event of succession to the throne, Yingqu Liang and Yingqian were summoned separately, the eldest son Yingqian brought troops into the palace, Qin Xiangong ambushed the sword and axe hand, and the Qin State, which had been in turmoil for four generations, was about to encounter a civil unrest again? How did Qin Xiangong resolve the imperial crisis? Take a look at the next episode.
