Xin Lingjun's words still speak of the essence of those so-called "good scholars", who do not like "scholars", but "fame" and "profit", and "good scholars" are only a means to achieve this goal.

On this point, it is precisely what Xinlingjun cannot agree with.

Politically, Xinlingjun also has a unique vision, when King Wei Anjiao wanted to join forces with Qin to attack Korea, he pointed out that Qin was unreliable, and only Korea was the object that could be united.

Korea is the barrier of Wei, according to the law of cold lips and teeth, if Korea perishes, it will be the turn of Wei next.

In fact, the course of history also developed in this way, when five years after Qin annexed Korea, Wei was also eaten away by Qin.

Xinlingjun's customers are not too bad, and often play a key role in critical moments, even those diners who have been mixed under him, and a few of them have become influential figures in the later era.

Among them, there are two most famous, which we should be familiar with, Zhang Er and Chen Yu.

One of them became the king of Zhao, and the other became the acting king.

Militarily, Xinling Jun did not do a bad job, and once defeated the powerful Qin army twice, thus saving the Zhao and Wei states in danger, one of which also left a classic allusion to "stealing talismans to save Zhao", and the poet immortal Li Bai also specifically mentioned this incident in the famous work "Chivalrous Travel".

Because his reputation was too loud and his merits were too great, Xinlingjun was suspicious of King Wei Anjiao, the boss of Wei, and under the use of the Qin people's divisive strategy, Xinlingjun spent the second half of his life in depression.

Heroes have always been lonely, only the sage leaves his name. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, admired Xinling Jun very much, and after becoming the emperor, every time he paraded to Daliang, he would go to worship this personable son of the turbidity. Liu Bang also sent people to guard the tomb of Xinlingjun very exceptionally, and Xinlingjun became the only person who was not the king of the Warring States Period and enjoyed the special treatment of the Western Han Dynasty.

Later people's evaluation of the four sons of the Warring States period has always been mixed, the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and it is difficult to get unification, but it is undeniable that it is their existence that stirred up the situation of the Warring States Period, affected the course of history, and changed people's lives to a greater or lesser extent.

They are special products of the environment of that era, and the Warring States period embellished by them is even more eye-catching, and they are the well-deserved "emperor superstars" of that era. ”

Xinling Jun, the most famous of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period, why did he finally indulge in wine and die?

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, is the son of King Wei Zhao in the middle and late Warring States period, and the half-brother of King Wei Anjiao. The era in which he lived was a rare era of great controversy in Chinese history, where everyone had a desire to fight and the country had the ambition to hegemon.

At this time, the struggle between countries has long passed the period of seeking some land, people and other wealth, but is hostile to each other, waiting for an opportunity to attack and destroy other countries, such as Zheng, Lu, Song, Tao, Zou, Ju and other small countries have been annexed by the big countries one after another, leaving only seven larger countries known as the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

The state of Qin was the only country and became a country that made the six countries both afraid and jealous. In order to contend with the Qin State, the King of Wei supported Xinling Jun to recruit talents like Meng Weijun of Qi State, and won thousands of guests. Xinlingjun gave full play to his own advantages, and then organized two large-scale and far-reaching joint vertical movements, defeated the Qin State, became famous all over the world, and made immortal achievements.

But is such an excellent pillar of the country, why did he die depressed and die in his later years?

It all started with the two joint campaigns he launched.

In 260 B.C., King Zhao Xiaocheng removed Lian Po and let Zhao Kuo preside over the military and government, and was defeated by the Qin army led by Bai Qi in Changping. What's even more terrifying is that the financial and material resources accumulated by King Huiwen of Zhao for more than 30 years of reign are basically not much left after this war, and Zhao is facing a great economic crisis.

At this time, the Qin army, under the leadership of Wang Ling, stubbornly killed and besieged the city of Handan of Zhao State, and had the posture of not destroying Zhao State.

King Zhao Xiaocheng was forced to appoint Lian Po as a general and was fully responsible for the defense of Handan City. The defenders of Handan City were almost all old, weak, sick and disabled, and seven or eight out of ten of the strong soldiers of Zhao died in Changping. On the one hand, the remnants of the army led by Lian Po resisted desperately, and on the other hand, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, sent envoys to Wei, Chu and other countries, trying to launch a joint attack on Qin to solve the country's crisis.

Because Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng married Xinlingjun's sister, although King Wei Anxu was afraid of offending Qin from the bottom of his heart and didn't want to send troops to rescue him, it was difficult to refuse his brother-in-law Pingyuanjun's request. Wei promised to send troops to rescue Zhao and sent Jin to lead 100,000 troops north. Pingyuanjun rushed to Chu State non-stop, and the king of Chu did not agree to send troops, thanks to one of Pingyuanjun's disciples, Mao Sui, who coerced the king of Chu to submit and successfully completed the mission.

However, just as the Wei army was marching towards Handan, after the Qin State learned about it through the details, he sent someone to threaten the King of Wei: if the Zhao State is rescued, the next step is that the Qin army's sharp soldiers will go straight to Daliang City. The king of Wei was frightened, and hurriedly ordered Jin to stop advancing and stationed in Yecheng on the edge of the Yellow River to wait and see how things changed.

At this time, Handan City has been besieged by the Qin army for more than two years, and there has been no food in the city, and many people have starved to death. Pingyuan Jun, who returned to Handan City, sent people to Wei every day, hoping that the King of Wei would send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. Xinling Jun used all the power at his disposal to persuade his brother of the King of Wei to let the Wei army march quickly, but the King of Wei was frightened by the Qin State and refused to agree.

In this situation, Xin Lingjun couldn't sit still, after all, his own sister was still in Handan City, and everyone in the world knew that this merger was initiated by him at the instigation of King Wei, if it was declared a failure, Wei would lose its trust in the world, and no one would ever believe in Wei and Wei Wuji in the future.

In desperation, he used Ruji, a woman favored by King Wei's brother - because he avenged Ruji's father's murder and was her family's savior - to steal the tiger talisman of the troops, and then led the disciples into Yecheng, killed the Jin who tried to resist, and the overseer killed Handan, defeated the Qin army with the Chu army and the Zhao army, and forced Zheng Anping to lead 20,000 Qin troops to surrender, and the joint attack on Qin was successful.

After the victory of the defense of Handan in Zhao State, because Xinling Jun stole talismans to save Zhao, he violated the authority of the King of Wei, and his sin was unforgivable, so he had to live in Zhao State. And this stay is ten years. In the past ten years, it is the most leisurely period of Xinlingjun's life, in Zhao State was respected as a guest, on the surface he was carefree and satisfied with the status quo, in fact, he still cherished his homeland, but he could not return to China to continue to serve, waiting for the opportunity, and this wait is ten autumns.

Ten years later, the Qin state repeatedly sent troops to attack the Wei state. The state of Wei has gradually weakened since the late reign of King Wei Hui, and since then it has been inferior to the next generation, and it is difficult to restore the hegemony of the period of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, and the national strength is weak under the blow of the Qin army. The king of Qin hated that the king of Wei extended a rescue hand to Zhao despite the strong opposition of the king of Qin Zhao, which led to the defeat of the Qin army, so he ordered Meng Fu and Meng Wu to supervise the army to attack Wei violently. Wei was defeated and tried to negotiate peace with Qin, but Qin did not reply for a long time, clearly wanting to destroy Wei. Seeing that there was a danger of losing the country, the king of Wei had no choice but to send someone to invite Wei Wuji to go back and take command to fight against the Qin army.

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, "put up a score", claiming that he was unwilling to go back, and ordered the people below: "Whoever dares to report and convey for the envoys of the King of Wei will be killed." Obviously, deep down in his heart, Xin Lingjun is still afraid of his brother, afraid that his brother will not sincerely invite him to return to China, but will make a circle for him: once he returns to China, he will not be able to help himself. Therefore, although his brother of the King of Wei was eager for him to return to China to save the trouble, and he had long been eager to serve the country, he could not go back.

At this time, his New Year's friends Mao Gong and Xue Gong came and said to him: "The reason why His Majesty is highly respected in Zhao State and famous as a prince is because of Wei State. Now the Qin army is attacking Wei, the country is in danger and the foot does not care, if the Great Liang City is attacked, the Qin army razes the temple under the feet, what face does the foot have to live in the world? Before he finished speaking, Xin Lingjun's face immediately changed, and he decided to return to China immediately.

The king of Wei was very happy to see his long-lost brother returning, and immediately worshipped him as a general, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the whole country to fight against the Qin army with all their might.

After the Xinling monarch Wei **, he immediately used his influence to launch another joint attack on Qin.

In the thirtieth year of the reign of King Anxu of Wei, the allied forces of Wei, Zhao, Chu, Han and Yan launched the fourth joint attack on Qin in the history of the Warring States under the command of Xinlingjun, and fiercely counterattacked the Qin army. The Qin army led by Meng Fu was defeated and fled back to China in disarray. The Five Nations Coalition went all the way to the west, recovering some areas occupied by the Qin army, and pursued them all the way to the Hangu Pass of the Qin State. Seeing that the coalition forces were strong, the Qin army had no choice but to close the door and not dare to face the battle.

This joint attack on Qin made Xinlingjun famous, won a high prestige, and his life entered the peak of glory.

As the old saying goes, "Boom and fall." "It is very appropriate to use it on Xinlingjun.

Xinlingjun launched two joint attacks on Qin, both of which were powerful and achieved certain results, giving Qin a certain blow. Lü Buwei, who was in power in the Qin State, understood that if he did not get rid of Xinling Jun, it would be difficult for the Qin State to unify the world. Therefore, Lü Buwei did not spare thousands of dollars and sent spies to Wei to sabotage and divide the brotherly relationship between the king of Wei and Xinlingjun and the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

He first sent people to Wei to make a fuss, to celebrate Xinling Jun's ascension to the throne and claim the throne, which caused a stir in Daliang City, causing strong dissatisfaction among the King of Wei. Then he bribed the old subordinates of Jin Contempt, took advantage of Jin Contempt's death, inspired their hatred of avenging the main general, and then bribed a group of surrender factions in the court, and tried their best to slander the King of Wei, declaring: Everyone in the world knows that the Wei State has Xinling Jun, but I don't know who the King of Wei is, and Xinling Jun should be the King of Wei.
