From the betrayal of the strategist to the suicide of the repetition, a generation of strategists is

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

During the period of Qin Xiaogong, the young Wei Ying came to the Wei State and was appreciated by his uncle, but because of his power and calculations, he was not reused for many years. It wasn't until Uncle Gong's death that he recommended Wei Ying to King Wei Hui. But King Wei Hui was suspicious of the young man.

The uncle understood the king's mind and suggested that the king should either use a martingale or get rid of it, so that he would not become a threat to other kingdoms. However, King Wei Hui was unimpressed by this suggestion. He thinks that Wei Ying is an unknown young man, how can he pose a threat to the country?

After the death of his uncle, King Wei Hui did not use Wei Martingale and did not harm him. Wei Ying knew that he could not display his ambitions in the Wei State, so he heard that the Qin State was recruiting talents, and resolutely went.

After Wei Ying came to the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong did not show much interest in him. Wei Ying has talked about governance policies many times, but he has repeatedly hit a wall. It wasn't until he came up with the word "domineering" that Qin Xiaogong's attitude changed. He was deeply troubled by internal and external troubles and longed to strengthen the country, so at the suggestion of Wei Ying, the Qin State began to change the law.

Ten years after the implementation of the reform, the "Think Tank" recorded that the Qin National Highway was not forgotten, the public order was good, the people were rich, and the combat power was strong. Qin Xiaogong was therefore known as the overlord of the Warring States.

However, the fate of Wei Ying was not all smooth sailing. He had led his troops to defeat the Wei state, but after the death of Qin Xiaogong, the new monarch Qin Hui Wang came to power and became suspicious of Wei Ying. King Hui of Qin first investigated Shang Ying for the crime of "treason", which eventually led to his defeat and death.

Shang's death was not accidental. Although he excelled in changing the law, he had obvious deficiencies in interpersonal relationships and political intelligence. First of all, he was proud of his achievements, and carried out strong suppression of the nobles of the clan, and even severely punished the crown prince, which caused widespread dissatisfaction. Secondly, with the increase of credit, Shang Yang gradually detached himself from the interests of the common people and became a member of the aristocracy.

Zhao Liang once advised Shang Ying to retreat bravely, but Shang Ying relied on his high merits and failed to listen to his advice. In the end, under the suspicion and revenge of King Qin Hui, he suffered the punishment of dividing the corpse of five horses, and his family was also wiped out.

Looking back on Shang's life, although he excelled in reform, his poor handling of interpersonal relationships and political wisdom led to his ultimate failure. Compared with Xiao He and Zhang Liang in later generations, Shang Ying's fate was more like morning dew, short and brilliant, and finally died in his pride and unconspiracy.

The legendary experience of Wei Ying's life is not only a witness to a political situation, but also an interweaving of power and personal ethics. His fate is like the morning dew, although brilliant but short-lived, leaving a deep historical imprint.

First of all, the story of Wei Ying reflects the brutality of political struggle. He entered the career in the Wei State at the beginning and was talented, but he suffered from being treated coldly because of his uncle's jealousy and jealousy. Although this kind of open and covert struggle in political struggle is a trick of power on the surface, it is actually the ugly side of human nature. The reason why Uncle Gong did not recommend Wei Ying was completely out of jealousy of his own status, this cautious mentality is not unique in the long river of history, but it often leads to the burial of many talented talents.

Secondly, the departure of Wei Ying and the change of the Qin state show the great influence of political wisdom on the fate of the country. After Wei was not reused, Wei Ying decisively chose to leave, and finally found a stage to display his talents in Qin. He was keenly aware of Qin's internal and external crises, and was good at using the word "domineering" to impress Qin Xiaogong, laying the foundation for the country's reform. However, his sensitivity to power did not keep him on high alert in the political struggles that followed, which eventually led to his own tragedy.

Moreover, the defeat of Wei Ying also highlights the wisdom and open-mindedness that a politician needs to have in his power schemes. Although he won the support of the people in the early days of the reform, as his merits increased, he gradually moved away from the interests of the people and became a member of the aristocracy. This shift ultimately led to his defeat in the coup. Zhao Liang's advice was wise, but Wei Ying, who thought he had a high level of merit, failed to heed it, and eventually fell victim to the political maelstrom.

The story of Wei Ying also provokes deep reflections on wisdom and arrogance. In the political arena, a person's wisdom determines his contribution to the country, while arrogance can lead to his downfall. Although Shang Ying performed well in the Qin reforms, his pride in his achievements and lack of political wisdom eventually led him to ruin. It also reminds us that a politician not only needs to be flexible and know how to schem, but also needs to stay sober when he wins, always paying attention to the needs of the people and the future of the country.

To sum up, Wei Ying's life is not only a witness to the political situation, but also a reflection of the good and evil of human nature. He left a brief but brilliant light on the stage of history, but he also went wrong because of his lack of political wisdom and arrogance. His story reminds us that scheming and love are not incompatible, and that wisdom and humility are qualities that a statesman should possess.
