There is such a figure in history who was not from a high background, but affected the situation of the country - Fan Ju (Ju), to be precise, he affected the situation of the entire Qin State. The strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" proposed by this person put Qin on the road to unify China.
Although this is similar to Zhang Yi's strategy, it is clearer than Zhang Yi's strategy of connecting and crossing (dividing the six countries), in which he analyzes the situation of the six countries and determines which countries the Qin state should make friends with and which countries it should attack. Later, the Qin State did achieve the great cause of dominating the world in this order.
Of course, when mentioning him, I have to mention a high-end "Bole" - Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji, who is the son of Miyue in "The Legend of Miyue", the half-brother of King Qin Wu who "died at the top".
After King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, he informed the nations of this news. So Han, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Zhao sent envoys to Xianyang to congratulate and pay tribute, but no one from Wei went there. King Zhaoxiang of Qin was very angry, so he prepared to let Hedong Taishou Wang Ji go to conquer Wei. However, this Wang Ji had a very good relationship with Wei, and he didn't want Wei to suffer from the disaster, so he secretly sent someone to tell King Wei Anjiao. The king of Wei hurriedly sent the crown prince to the Qin State to apologize in person.
This matter turned the page, but then the news leaked. King Qin Zhaoxiang is very angry, this is obviously not taking me seriously, although he is working under me, but he thinks about Wei State, isn't this a spy? Wang Ji's death penalty is inevitable! As soon as Wang Ji was convicted, Fan Sui, the prime minister of Qin, was very nervous. Because according to the practice of the Qin State, if the recommended person is imprisoned, or has serious problems, the recommender will be punished. And Wang Ji was strongly recommended by Fan Ju to the King of Qin, and now Wang Ji is suspected of fornicating with the Wei State, which is a great sin, and Fan Ju, as Wang Ji's recommender, will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. In addition, before that, Fan Sui also recommended a person named Zheng Anping (Fan Ju's savior) for the King of Qin, and as a result, this person also surrendered to Wei.
Fan Ju was terrified, the two people he recommended had become spies, and this was worth it! So Fan Ju dressed up as a sinner, put himself up, and prepared to "take the guilt". King Qin Zhaoxiang hadn't seen this move, so he said, "Fan Ju, what are you doing here?" Why do you want to dress up as a sinner? Fan Ju still knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and said: "King, Wang Ji and Zheng Anping I recommended have defected to the Wei State, as a recommender, I have a great responsibility, I didn't see their essence clearly, please punish me." King Qin laughed and said, "Zheng Anping and Wang Ji were both entrusted by me with important tasks, and ordered them to lead their troops out to fight, this is my improper use of people, and it has nothing to do with you." With that, he asked Fan Ju to loosen his ties and let him go home.
However, the ministers were not as tolerant as King Qin Zhaoxiang, and rumors spread: "Prime Minister Fan's merits are so great that the king does not dare to punish him for committing a crime." Fan Ju was very uncomfortable after hearing this, trembling, and rarely went out. King Qin Zhaoxiang later also heard these discussions, and was afraid that Fan Ju would be too careful, so he issued an order: "Wang Ji has committed a capital crime and has been beheaded by the whole family, and no one is allowed to mention this matter again in the future." He also took special care of Fan Ju and often rewarded him to eliminate the prejudice of the ministers against Fan Ju.
Of course, no one is perfect, and Fan Ju is not all a strategic image, and the famous god of war Bai Qi was forced to death by him, but during the time when Fan Ju served as prime minister, the strength of the Qin State was greatly enhanced, laying a solid foundation for Qin Shi Huang to unify China in the future.
The so-called "a hundred generations are with the heel", this idiom first came from Jin Ge Hong's "Nanhua Jing Beixi Cave Treatise", passed"Best"with"Heel"The imagery of these two words refers to the number of people who come or the speed of coming, and now they also describe the use of people for a long time. King Qin Zhaoxiang's approach can be described as clever, he eliminated Fan Ju's concerns, so that Fan Ju can work for himself sincerely. We reuse talents to solve the worries of talents, so that talents can contribute to the long term!
