Chapter 133: Who's the Best

The four sons of the Warring States period, who is the most powerful?

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji ranks first among the four princes, and his abilities are also above the other three, in addition to the impeccable personal quality, in order to save Zhao Guocangsheng, he is willing to accept the result of dying in a foreign land, which shows that this person is loyal and courageous, especially when the monarch of Wei is hesitant, understands that once the Zhao State is destroyed, the Wei State will not live long, which shows the long-term strategic vision of Xinling Jun, in addition to the characteristics of calm and composed, good at employing people, etc., have also added a lot of points to him.

In terms of personal ability, Shen Jun can be comparable to Xinling Jun, especially after Shen Jun became the Ling Yin of Chu State, the strength of the whole country began to become stronger, although "Mao Sui self-recommendation" covered up Shen Jun's role in supporting Zhao State, but its strategic vision is still commendable Maybe he stayed in the position of Prime Minister of Chu for too long, or it was greedy for power. He wanted to cuckold the king like Lu Buwei, but was finally killed by Li Yuan under his door.

When it comes to Meng Yanjun, it is natural to think of his 3,000 diners, but to be able to feed these 3,000 people who usually don't do anything, we first have to admire Meng Yanjun's wealth. In general, Meng Weijun did not do anything worth mentioning.

In terms of dealing with the internal affairs of the Qi State, Meng Weijun still attaches more importance to personal interests. Throughout the history of the Warring States period, Zhao has always been a powerful country that can be compared to Qin. However, Pingyuan Jun's talent is not only inferior to the meritorious Xinling Jun and Shen Jun, but also inferior to the mediocre Meng Weijun.

In the battle between the upper party, Pingyuanjun's short-sightedness was fully exposed. And letting Mao Sui recommend himself also shows that he didn't know how to make good use of people before. Moreover, he is a good man, in the process of governing Zhao State, he was completely incompetent in politics and military, prompting Zhao State to decline step by step.

Why is it said that the four princes of the Warring States are the biggest cancer in the six countries, except for Xinlingjun, there is no good person?

When the vigorous Warring States Period entered its old age, the Qin family was dominant, which made the other six vassal states very depressed and hurt!

In order to balance this unfavorable situation, and to maximize their own interests, the "eaters and non-contemptible" in the vassal states have come up with various ways to "save the world and survive".

They are either allies, they are recruiting talents, they are seeking change, they are trying to develop, all of them are pursuing the trajectory of becoming bigger and stronger.

There are four of the best of this kind of characters, and they have a similarity, they are all famous for their "Yangshi". That is, with the attitude of Corporal Lixian, recruit customers to strengthen their own power.

Because most of them were princes and nobles, or descendants of the previous monarchs of the country, therefore, the people of the era called these four benevolent brothers "the four sons of the Warring States." ”

These four people who know the history of the Warring States should be familiar with them, they are Meng Weijun of Qi State, Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, Shen Jun of Chu State, and Xinling Jun of Wei State.

Meng Weijun, whose name is Tian Wen, his father is the son of the former King Qi Wei, and in terms of seniority, his father is the half-brother of the previous King of Qi Xuan, and the uncle of the current King of Qi Xuan.

Like other clan ministers, Meng Weijun has his own fiefdom, Xue Yi, and his life is still quite rich.

As a result, he was able to calmly welcome guests from all over the world, and it is said that the number of diners in his house has reached four figures, or about 3,000.

Meng Weijun is best known for the story of "Chicken Singing and Dog Thief". In this incident, two of his 3,000 disciples rescued Meng Weijun from the softness of the Qin State with his mastery of imitating the crowing of a rooster and the ability to learn to steal from a dog.

This incident, although it makes people understand the many benefits of raising doormen and the truth that even humble people have wonderful uses, but it also makes people understand that in fact, among the many disciples raised by Meng Weijun, there are not many real talents, and there are many people who eat and drink together.

The famous Meng Weijun is actually not called a "virtuous reputation", and the ultimate goal of his "raising a soldier" is not to make the Qi country strong, but to expand his own power, so as to better grasp the power of the Qi country.

And his political and diplomatic methods are really not good, with his own personal grudges, he united with multinational forces to attack Qin for several years, and at the same time, he consumed a lot of Qi's national strength, but did not bring any benefits to Qi.

"Inbreeding" and "long-range attack", such a mindless thing is also due to him to do it.

Meng Weijun's personal spleen is not as good as the legend, and he is not very good-looking, and he thinks he is "King Yan." ”

Once, when passing by Zhao Di, Zhao Guoren was not impressed by his bad image, but said some radical judgments.

In a fit of anger, he led the doorman to regain face for himself at the cost of "killing more than 100 people and destroying a county".

The so-called "virtuous people" praised in the history books do all these things.

In the era of King Qi, Meng Weijun almost destroyed the mother country of Qi by uniting the vassal states.

Just for the sake of a momentary mood, ignoring the interests of the country, and judging by traditional standards, this is a model of "disloyalty, filial piety, wisdom, benevolence and injustice".

Pingyuanjun, his name is Zhao Sheng.

He is the son of King Wuling of Zhao, who was famous in the Warring States Period, the younger brother of the former King Huiwen of Zhao, and the uncle of the current King Xiaocheng of Zhao.

When King Zhao Huiwen and King Zhao Xiaocheng were in power, Zhao Sheng has always been a very powerful minister in Zhao.

He also had a large number of customers, and it is said that there were several thousand people.

There are not many famous ones, and we are familiar with the Mao Sui who "recommended himself" and Gongsun Long, who said "white horses are not horses", but in terms of quality, they are still better than Meng Weijun.

Brother Zhao Sheng is also the best representative of "unworthy of the name", and he is best known for his extreme myopia. According to the history books, that is a typical example of "profit and wisdom".

In the fourth year of King Zhao Xiaocheng, the Korean guard could not withstand the pressure of the Qin State and voluntarily dedicated the land of the Shangdang to the Zhao State. Without much thought, Zhao Sheng instigated King Zhao Xiaocheng to accept this hot potato, and the most famous Battle of Changping in the late Warring States period broke out.

It was this battle that wiped out all the family resources of the Zhao State accumulated by King Wuling of Zhao, and the only vassal state that should have the strength to compete with the Qin State declined and did not recover, which also had the effect of the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling that Pang Juan and Sun Bin Dao had back then.

Pingyuanjun's true ability is these, on the surface, it seems to be babbling, and he is not reliable at all in doing things, he only cares about the immediate interests of the near side, but he will not plan for the long-term situation.

In terms of ability, he is extremely unsuitable for the position of Zhao Guoguo's prime minister. Zhao Sheng held on to the power again, and in the end, his country collapsed.

Shen Jun, his name is Huang Xie.

He was one of the four princes, he was not prominent, and even if he went back to the past, the most important thing his ancestors could use as a show off capital was nothing more than a minister who had served in the Chu Dynasty.

His achievements are all because of his struggle and hard work, therefore, among the "Four Sons", Huang Xie is the most scheming and the most scheming one.

In terms of actual metaphysics, among the "Four Sons", Huang Xie is the one with the least fame and the lowest actual ability.

The most brilliant article in Huang Xie's life was done when he was young and vigorous.

At that time, the state of Chu was the era when King Xiang of Chu was in power, and this king of Chu ignored the fact that the state of Chu had declined, thought very highly of himself, and went so far as to challenge the powerful neighbor Qin against the objective law without connecting with reality, and the outcome was certainly predictable.

The state of Chu lost ground again and again, and it was about to be precarious, and at this time, Huang Xie appeared.

As an envoy of the state of Chu, he persuaded King Qin Zhao with his outstanding eloquence to make the allied forces of Qin, Han, and Wei led by Bai Qi, the "god of war", withdraw.

It is with such a meritorious existence, plus Huang Xie thought of a way to let Xiong Wan, the prince of Chu who was a hostage in the Qin State, return safely, and when Mr. Xiong Wan succeeded to the throne as the queen of Chu Kaolie, Huang Xie became the prime minister of the Chu State with his incomparable merits.

Although Comrade Huang Xie knew how to play tricks, he still played with others in the end. What he didn't negotiate was his most trusted doorman, Li Yuan.

This old man is not simple, he gave his sister to Huang Xie, and later suggested that Huang Xie give his sister to the childless King Chu Kaolie.

Li Yuan's sister was very competitive, gave birth to a boy, and was made the prince, Li Yuanmei became the queen with her son, and Li Yuan's rising tide was also promoted to a high position.

As soon as King Chu Kaolie died, Li Yuan attacked Huang Xie, and Comrade Huang Xie, who had been plotting all his life, suffered and ended up with the most tragic ending among the "Four Sons".

The grand launch and introduction is the last one, Xinlingjun.

His name was Wei Wuji, and he was the youngest son of the former King Zhao of Wei and the half-brother of the current King of Wei Anji.

The other four sons of the "raisers" are not to decorate the façade and make a false name, or to expand their own power in order to better grasp the political power.

Therefore, their so-called "corporal Lixian" has a strong purpose and motive, which also makes it inevitable that they will be a little insincere in their treatment of "soldiers".

Only Xinlingjun is very pure in his attitude towards scholars.

This can be seen in a small thing.

When Xin Lingjun temporarily settled in the Zhao State, he had a fight with Mao Gong and Xue Gong of Handan City.

Pingyuan Jun, who is also known for his "good soldiers" in Handan City, couldn't figure it out, these two didn't look like useful people no matter how they looked at it, and they were also low-status people, Xinling Jun tried his best to ask them if they were a little bit of that.

Xin Lingjun immediately replied, exposing the true face of Pingyuanjun's "monk": "I heard that Pingyuanjun is a virtuous person, it seems that Pingyuanjun's so-called 'good scholar' is actually just asking for 'heroism', not really a good guest." Mao and Xue can be regarded as sages, I heard about them in Daliang, so I came to make friends with them, how can I care about them. Now Hirahara-kun actually thinks it's a shameful thing, it seems that I am not from the same world as him. ”
