King Hui of Wei was a prince with great luck, and before he was born, his father Marquis Wu of Wei and his grandfather Marquis Wen of Wei had already ruled the State of Wei into the world's first power, so King Hui of Wei became the first lord of the world after he ascended the throne. King Hui of Wei was also full of luck when he took the throne of the State of Wei, and if the combined forces of Han and Zhao did not retreat, then King Hui of Wei would have died in the war and would not have become the monarch at all. Because everything came too easily, King Hui of Wei was content to enjoy it and did not think of making progress, which eventually led to the weakening of the State of Wei.
King Hui of Wei
After the death of Marquis Wu of Wei, King Hui of Wei and his brother Gongzi slowly competed for the throne, and the two sides led large armies to fight, and the strength of the two armies was not much different, and Gongzi slowly took the upper hand. Later, Gongzi slowly asked Zhao Chenghou and Han Yihou to help, and promised to pay off the land after the matter was completed! The combined forces of Han and Zhao had already defeated the Wei army, but there was an irreconcilable disagreement between Han and Zhao over how to deal with the State of Wei, and in the end, Han and Zhao withdrew their respective troops that night, and King Hui of Wei won the throne without a fight. Since then, King Hui of Wei has regarded himself as a destiny, living in food, clothing, drinking, and driving with extreme luxury, and he likes to use people who look at their faces, and those who are rich and noble like to use them.
Historia. Wei Shijia Zhao said to Han Yue: "Except for Wei Jun, establish a public servant and slow down, cut the land and retreat, and I will benefit." Han Yue: "No." Kill Wei Jun, and people will be violent; Cut the land and retreat, and the people will be greedy. Not as good as two. Wei is divided into two, not stronger than Song and Wei, then I will not have Wei's troubles in the end. Zhao didn't listen. Han did not say, with its young pawns going at night. The reason why King Hui is not dead, the country is not divided, and the two families are not at peace. If it is from one family's plot, Wei will be divided.
In 334 BC, King Hui of Wei led Korea and some small states to Xuzhou to meet the King of Qiwei, and the King of Qiwei was honored as the king, and the King of Qiwei did not dare to claim the title of king alone, so he also recognized the title of the king of the State of Wei, known in history as "XiangWang of Huixu Prefecture". After the ceremony, King Hui of Wei and King Qi Wei hunted together, and the etiquette of hunting was the same as that of Zhou Tianzi. During the break, King Wei Hui and King Qi Wei discussed national treasures, and the two had different views on national treasures, and after listening to King Qi Wei's theory of national treasures, King Wei Hui felt very ashamed!
King Hui of Wei usually liked beautiful jewels, and he collected many pearls, one of which was more than an inch in diameter and was regarded as a national treasure by King Wei. In addition, King Hui of Wei also has 10 night pearls, each of which can illuminate the range of 12 carriages. Such a rare treasure is rare in the world, and King Hui of Wei treasures it and hides it, and it is easy not to show it to outsiders. King Hui of Wei believed that the state of Qi had many people, the people were rich and strong, and there must be more rare national treasures, and he could take this opportunity to look at the horizon!
Night Pearl
Unexpectedly, King Qi Wei directly said that the national treasure of the State of Qi was not a pearl but a talent, and immediately listed four capable officials. The four national treasure-level figures mentioned by King Qi Wei were: Tanzi, Panzi, Qianfu, and Seed Head. If Tanzi defended the southern city of Qi, then the State of Chu did not dare to go north to fight, and the 12 princes of Sishang respected the State of Qi; if Panzi defended the High Tang City of the State of Qi, the State of Zhao did not dare to invade Qi; if Qianfu defended the city of Xuzhou in the State of Qi, the Yan people did not dare to go south; if the leader of qi was in internal affairs, the thieves were extinct, and the road was not left behind!
The king of Qi Wei regarded talent as a national treasure, so the state of Qi was stronger than the state of Wei; the king of Wei Hui used pearls as a national treasure, so the state of Wei was defeated by the state of Qi and eventually lost its hegemony. Thinking that Shang Martin and Zhang Yi, the two great rulers of the country, had all been lost from the hands of King Hui of Wei, they had gone to the State of Qin, and strengthened the State of Qin, and in turn had struck the State of Wei fiercely, King Hui of Wei vaguely felt that his face was hot, and after embarrassingly perfunctory remarks, he walked away in shame!
King Qiwei
"The King of Qi Wei on national treasures" The king of Qi Wei and the king of Wei Hui will be in the suburbs, and the king of Hui said: "Qi also has a treasure?" King Wei said, "Nothing." Hui Wang said: "Although the widow country is small, there are still pearls of diameter and inch, and there are ten pieces of twelve multipliers in front of and behind the car." Is it not a great power to have no treasure?" King Wei said, "The reason why a widow is a treasure is different from the king." If the people of Wuchen have tanzi and make them guard the southern city, then the Chu people do not dare to be Kou, and the twelve princes of Sishang all come to the dynasty; If our subjects have hopes, so that they can guard the High Tang, then the Zhao people do not dare to fish in the river; If we have a Qianfu, so that we can guard Xuzhou, then the Yan people sacrifice the North Gate, the Zhao people sacrifice the West Gate, and there are more than 7,000 families of the followers, and the Wuchen has a kind of leader, so that the thieves will not be left behind. These four subjects will shine a thousand miles, and they will be multiplied by twelve!" Hui Wang has shame.
Before the death of his uncle of the old chancellor of the State of Wei, he specially recommended Shang Martingale to king Hui of Wei as the minister of the state of Wei, and made it clear: Gongsun Martingale, although he was young, had a genius, and he wished the king to listen to the whole country. For the recommendation of the old minister, King Hui of Wei smiled and thought that the name of Zhongshu Ziwei Martingale was not passed on, and he entrusted the state government with the government, which would be laughed at by the world. Uncle Gong also said: The king will not listen to the use of martingale, he will kill him, and he will not be ordered to leave the country. After King Wei Hui listened, he suppressed the laughter in his heart and pretended to agree, and afterwards King Wei Hui said everywhere that his husband was sick and crazy, and actually let him use Wei Martingale as a face, and said that he would kill without needing! Later, King Hui of Wei did not use Wei Martingale, nor did he kill Wei Martingale. Twenty-year-old Wei Martingale entered Qin, and spent twenty years to change the Qin state from weak to strong, and the Battle of Hexi hit the State of Wei hard, making King Hui of Wei repent of his mistake.

Historia. When Prince Hui of Wei asked about the illness, he said, "Uncle Gong's illness is as unconcealable as it is, and he will be the one who will be in charge of the Naishe?" Uncle Gong said: "Gongsun Martingale, a young man in the midst of acne, has a genius, and may the king listen to the whole country." Wang Hey Ran. When the king went, the acne screen people said: "If the king does not listen to the use of martingale, he will kill him, and he will not be ordered to leave the country." The king promised to go away. ..... King Hui went, but said, "Uncle Gong is very ill and miserable, and he wants to make the widow listen to Gongsun Martingale with the kingdom, isn't it against him?"
After Zhang Yi left the mountain, he first went to report to King Wei Hui, hoping to serve his mother country, only to meet King Wei Hui and Old Mencius chatting. Old Mencius attacked Zhang Yi's cross-cutting study as the "way of concubines", and Zhang Yi retorted at Mencius, so angry that Old Mencius almost turned his back. In order to show his respect for the sage, King Hui of Wei beat Zhang Yi out of the palace with a stick. Later, Zhang Yi entered Qin and served as the minister of the State of Qin, assisting King Huiwen of Qin in fighting the Six Kingdoms, and repeatedly attacking the State of Wei, making King Hui of Wei repent of not being the first!
Compared with King Hui of Wei, King Qi Wei was a wise man and a wise man, but King Qi Wei liked to engage in power plots, and eventually the great talents who governed the country left Qi one after another, and only medium talents such as Tanzi, Panzi, Qianfu, and Seed Head served in the State of Qi. The State of Qi was able to defeat the powerful State of Wei, in addition to the fact that King Hui of Wei was so happy and could not know how to make good use of people, it was also because the State of Qi produced military masters such as Sun Bing and Tian Ji. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the State of Qi could not catch up with the State of Wei, but the State of Qi used strategy, and a strange plot could withstand 100,000 strong soldiers, so Qi won and Wei lost.
The Qi army division Sun Zhen and the general Tian Ji were the real national treasures of the State of Qi, and the two cooperated sincerely to destroy the main forces of the State of Wei through the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling, and then let the State of Qi replace the hegemony of the State of Wei. However, although the State of Qi defeated the State of Wei, its hegemony was not as prominent as that of the State of Wei: on the one hand, because the comprehensive national strength of the State of Qi was not as good as that of the State of Wei at its peak; on the other hand, the departure of Sun Bing and Tian Ji from the State of Qi. Without the State of Qi, which was sun and tian ji, it would not be able to deter the crowd.
Sun Bing
After the Battle of Maling, the State of Qi gained hegemonic status, and for a time the prestige was unlimited, and the crowds of heroes worshiped the State of Qi. King Qi Wei, who was proficient in the art of emperors, was afraid of Sun Zhi and Tian Jigong gao gai lord, and he was even more afraid that the two would conspire to seize the throne, so he instructed the chancellor Zou Ji to frame Tian Ji, as long as Tian Ji was removed, Sun Ji, who did not have the support of the army, was not worried! In fact, Sun Bing had long anticipated the changes in the Qi dynasty, believing that after the victory of the war, there would inevitably be infighting of power, and it was necessary to ensure that there would be no defeat in the struggle, and only by tightly grasping the control of the army!
After the Battle of Maling, Sun Zhi said to Tian Ji: Does the general intend to do something big? Tian Ji didn't know why. Sun Bing also said: It is best for the general not to disarm and return to the State of Qi, but to let those tired and old soldiers guard the main land. The road in the main area is narrow, and vehicles can only pass in turn, colliding and rubbing. If those tired and weak soldiers are allowed to guard the main land, they will certainly be able to be ten with one, ten as a hundred, and a hundred as a thousand. Then the general had his back to Mount Tai, with Jishui on the left and Gao Tang on the right, and the weight could reach Gaowan, and only light vehicles and horses could rush straight to the Yongmen gate of Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi. In this way, the power of the State of Qi could be decided by the general, and at that time Zou Ji must flee, otherwise the general might not be able to return to the State of Qi safely. "
The Qi state minister Zou Ji sent his grandfather Gongsun Yue to carry heavy gold to the market, looking for someone to divinate, and introduced himself: I am a subordinate of General Tian Ji, and now the general has won three battles and three victories, and his fame has shocked the world, and now he wants to try to do something big, please do you divinate, and see how ji ji is? As soon as the prophecy man left, Gongsun Yue sent someone to arrest the divinator and verify this statement in front of King Qi Wei. Then King Qi Wei deliberately had people inform Tian Ji of the news, so that Tian Ji would retreat in frustration. Sure enough, after Tian Ji learned of the divination, he immediately abandoned his army and fled to the Chu State, and the King of Chu Wei gave Tian Ji the land of Jiangnan and asked him to serve the Chu State.
Tian Ji
After Tian Ji fled to the Chu state, Sun Zhi was in a difficult situation in the state of Qi, and the chancellor Zou Ji deliberately persecuted him, and eventually Sun Ji returned to the hidden mountain forest and disappeared without a trace. Losing Tian Ji and Sun Zhen, the King of Qi Wei silently felt lost, without these two, the hegemony of the State of Qi was soon challenged, and the State of Chu and the State of Yue both sent troops to attack the State of Qi, and the Qi army could not easily win! The situation in the kingdom of Heaven was unpredictable, and king Qi Wei felt exhausted, and vaguely felt sorry for Sun Zhen and Tian Ji, and soon the chancellor Zou Ji was also deposed!
King Wei of Qi and King Hui of Wei discussed national treasures, saying that he himself regarded talents as national treasures, in fact, he was also remembering Sun Zhi and Tian Ji, if these two were there, why should the State of Qi take a defensive position? If Sun Bing and Tian Ji are reused in the State of Qi for a long time, the momentum of the State of Qi will far exceed that of the State of Wei at that time, and now the superficially powerful Lizi of Wei and Qi are declining, and both Inside and outside Qin are thriving, and talents have entered the Qin State in the west! King Qi Wei's "talent is a national treasure" is actually self-blame!
After the State of Wei and the State of Qi recognized each other's kingdoms, for a time four kingdoms under the heavens were established side by side: the Kingdom of Zhou, the Kingdom of Chu, the Kingdom of Wei, and the Kingdom of Qi. After the queen of Xuzhou, the situation in the world changed more drastically, and soon the seven heroes of the Warring States became kings one after another, and attacked each other more frequently! Due to the loss of talents, the state of Wei and qi weakened day by day, and was eventually destroyed by the Qin kingdom. In 325 BC, the Qin Bo Kingdom was officially called the Kingdom, and the existence of the Great Qin Kingdom accelerated the pace of the unification of the world! Due to the uninterrupted introduction of talents, the Qin kingdom became stronger and stronger, and finally destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world!
