King Shenliang

In the first year, Wei Guo was even demoted to the rank of king.

Two years. Qin invaded Han and captured Yan.

Wei Hui Wang. Zixiang Wang Li.

When Mencius saw him, he came out and said to the people, "I don't see what he is doing like a king, and I don't see anything to be afraid of when I come to him, but I suddenly ask: How can the world be at peace?" I replied that only the unification of the world can be stable. He said, "Who can rule the world?" I say that only a monarch who does not kill indiscriminately can unify the country. And he asked who could accomplish this with him. I replied, and all the people of the world would be with him. Does the king know the seedlings in the ground? In July and August, when there is a drought, the seedlings wither. When it rains and rains, the seedlings will come back to life. A king who can unify the world, just like this God, who can resist him?

In three years, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan attacked Qin together. Attack Hangu Pass. The Qin State sent troops to resist, and the divisions of the Five Kingdoms were defeated. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he became king.

Four years. The state of Qin defeated the Han army Yu Xiuyu. Behead 80,000 levels. In the turbidity of the capture of its general. The princes were terrified.

The doctor of Qi competed with Su Qin for favor and made someone assassinate Su Qin.

Zhang Yi said to King Xiang of Wei: "The circle of Liang is less than 1,000 miles, the soldiers are only 300,000, and there are no famous mountains and rivers to protect, and Liang is the battlefield of the dispute between the Qin State and the Shandong princes. But now the brothers and parents will kill each other for money, and if they want to rely on Su Qin's repeated tricks to deal with the Qin State, it is obviously not possible. If the king does not deal with Qin, and the Qin people send troops to attack the river, enter the sour dates, rob the country, and seize the Yangjin Dynasty, then the Zhao State cannot go south, and the king cannot go north. In this way, the way of the covenant is cut off. From the time of the dispersion of the covenant, it was impossible for the king's country not to perish. Therefore may the king approve the plan. Otherwise, I will apply to the king to resign from the phase. “

The king of Wei then violated the agreement and asked the Qin state through Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi returned to Qin and reverted to Qin Xiang.

Lu Jing Gongxue. Ziping Public.

Five years. The two countries attacked each other. They all complained to the Qin State. King Qin Hui wanted to attack Shu, thinking that the road was far away and difficult to reach, and Korea came to invade again, so he hesitated. Sima mistake, please cut Shu. Zhang Yi said: "It's better to cut Han." King Qin said, "Please tell me your reasons." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Pro-Han Shanchu, sent troops to Sanchuan to attack Xincheng, Yiyang, soldiers in the suburbs of Erzhou, according to Jiuding, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world, the world dare not listen." This is the royal industry. The minister heard that the people who fought for fame were all in the court, and the people who fought for profit were all in the market. Nowadays, Sanchuan Zhou Room is the world of the court. And the king doesn't fight, but fights for the land of Rong Zhai, isn't it too far from the royal road? ”

Sima mistakenly said, "No." The minister heard that if he wanted to make the country rich and strong, he had to expand the land. If you want to make your soldiers strong, you have to make the common people rich. If you want to magnify the royal industry, you must first spread benevolence. These three things are satisfied, and Wang Ye will follow. Now the king is small and the people are poor, so the minister hopes that the king will start with the change first, Shu is a small country in the west, and it is a big country in Rong Zhai, and its country has a rebellion, Qin to attack him, just like a jackal chasing a lamb, get its land, enough to expand the country. and take their wealth, and it will be enough to enrich the people. Although the army is repaired, it does not hurt the people, and the world does not think it is violent. The benefits are exhausted, and the world does not think it is greedy. I have achieved it in one fell swoop, and I have the name of prohibiting violence and stopping chaos. Now attacking South Korea and robbing the Son of Heaven is notorious. It may not be beneficial, but it has a name for injustice. Listen to the minister, tell me why. Zhou is the grandmaster of the world, and the country of Qi and Han is one. Zhou Zizhi knew that he was going to lose Jiuding, and Han Zizhi was about to lose Sanchuan, so the two countries would conspire together to unite Chu and Wei through Qi and Zhao, and if they gave Ding to Chu and land to Wei, the king had no way to stop it. It's dangerous. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to cut Shu. ”

The king of Qin followed Sima's wrong plan and sent troops to attack Shu. In October, the state of Shu was pulled. Degraded the king of Shu as a marquis. Make Chen Zhuang the prime minister of Shu. The state of Shu belonged to Qin, and the state of Qin was even stronger.

Su Qin died, and Su Qin's brother Su Dai, Su Li, also appeared among the princes with lobbying.

Yan Xiangguozi and Su Dai got married, wanting to gain the authority of Yan Guo. Su Dai sent Qi back, and King Yan asked, "Can King Qi become an overlord?" ”

Sudai said, "No. ”

King Yan said, "Why? ”

Sudai said, "Because he can't trust his ministers. ”

So King Yan appointed his son. Lu Maoshou said to King Yan: "The reason why people say that Yao is a virtuous monarch is because Yao can make the country. Today, if the king can give the world to his son, he can be as famous as Yao. So King Yan entrusted all the national responsibilities to Zizhi. The power of the Son is great. Someone said: "Dayu recommended Yi back then, but he used Qi's subordinates as his assistants." and when he was old, he saw that Qi was not enough to serve the world, so he passed on the throne to the benefit. Qi and his sworn friends defeated Yi and won the world. The whole world thinks that the reason why Yu is famous all over the world is because of the benefits, but in fact, otherwise, he has already laid the groundwork and asked Qi to take it himself. Nowadays, although the king is said to belong to the country, the officials used are all the prince's people, and the nominal state government belongs to the son, but in fact, the prince is in real power. So King Yan took the seal. Officials who have paid more than 300 taels of age are appointed by the son.

Zizhi did the king's thing in the south, Yan Xu was old and did not listen to the government, and abdicated as a minister. The affairs of the state are decided by the Son.

Six years. Cautious and beautiful. Zi Xun Wang Li.

On the king

In the first year, the Qin people invaded the Yiqu. Twenty-five cities.

The Wei people rebelled against Qin. The Qin people attacked Wei. Capture Quwo and return the people to Wei. He also defeated the Korean army at the shore gate.

South Korea took Prince Chang as a hostage and asked for peace.

Yan Guozi was king for three years, and the country was in turmoil. The general was in the city and conspired with the prince to attack the son. The king of Qi sent people to the crown prince and said: "I heard that the prince is going to clarify the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and the position of father and son. Where the widow is useful, as long as the prince speaks, the widow is willing to help the whole country. “

Therefore, the prince asked the party to gather a crowd, so that the city was attacked by the son, and he did not resist. The city was counterattacked by the prince. Tens of thousands of people died. Everyone is in danger.

The king of Qi ordered Zhang Zi to cut down the troops of the northern land. The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom do not fight, and the city gate is not closed. The Qi army went straight in, because of the zero cut, and killed the king of Yan. The king of Qi asked Mencius, "Some people let the widows annex the Yan kingdom, and some people don't want the widows to annex the Yan kingdom." I want to use the country of ten thousand times to destroy the country of ten thousand times, and go down to fifty times, this is not something that can be done by manpower, it is completely the will of heaven, if I don't take it, there will be heavenly disasters. How about bringing it together? “

Mencius said: "If the people of Yan Kingdom like it, they can come together, and there were also people who did it in ancient times." It was King Wu of Zhou. If the Yan people are not happy, then don't merge. The ancients also did this, and that was King Wen of Zhou. With the country of ten thousand times to fight the country of ten thousand times, and the reason why the common people eat pot pulp to welcome the king, how can there be any other meaning, just look forward to getting out of the water as soon as possible, if the fire is hot, the water is deep, it is also luck. No one else's fault. “

The princes made an appointment to save Yan, and the king of Qi said to Mencius, "How should we deal with it?" “

Mencius said: "I heard that in ancient times, there was a person who governed the world with seventy miles of land, and that was Shang Tang. But I have not heard of the Lord of all vehicles who are afraid of being attacked by others. Now the Yan people Ling Nuo abused his people, and the king came to ask for it. The common people thought that the king was going to save them from fire and water, so they ate pot pulp to welcome the king. If you kill his father and brother, destroy his temple, and move his heavy weapons, how can this be done? Although the people of the world are afraid of the strength of the Qi country, they have now gained such a large piece of land. If you don't practice benevolent government, you are leading the world's soldiers. The king hastened to issue an order to return the plundered property and refrain from demolishing their temples. Consult with the people of Yan and choose a virtuous monarch to stand up. In this way, it may be remedied. “

King Qi didn't listen. Soon after, the Yan people rebelled. The king of Qi said, "I feel ashamed of Mencius. Chen Jia said: "The king doesn't have to worry about it. So he went to Mencius and said, "What kind of person is the Duke of Zhou?" Mencius said, "It is a sage of ancient times." “

Chen Jia said: "Zhou envoy Guan Shu supervised the merchants, and Uncle Guan rebelled with the merchants. Did Duke Zhou let him go to Shangdi because he knew that he was going to rebel? Mencius said, "Duke Zhou doesn't know." “

Chen Jia said: "So the saint is also at fault? “

Mencius said: "Duke Zhou is the younger brother, and Uncle Guan is the elder brother." Zhou Gong's mistakes are also inevitable, and the ancient gentlemen knew that they would change their mistakes. If there is a mistake, let it go wrong, the fault of the ancient gentleman, like the eclipse of the sun and the moon, people can see it. and his reform, the common people can look up to him. Today's gentlemen not only let their mistakes go on, but also find such and such excuses to prevaricate. “

This year, Qi Xuan Wang Xu. Zishui Wang Li.

In the second year, Qin You attacked Zhao even more. Pulling. Captive its general Zhuang Leopard.

The king of Qin wanted to attack Qi, but he was afraid that Qi and Chu would be close to each other, so he sent Zhang Yi to the state of Chu and said to the king of Chu: "If the king can listen to the advice of the ministers and break the agreement with the state of Qi, the ministers will ask the generals of the state of Qin to dedicate 600 li of land to the king." And will make the Qin woman the concubine of the king's broom. Qin Chu married a woman and grew up to be a country of brothers. “

The king of Chu was greedy for land, so he agreed to Zhang Yi's request. The ministers are full of congratulations. Only Chen Zhen thought it was unacceptable, and the king of Chu was furious and said: "Isn't it good that a widow can get 600 miles of land without a teacher?" Chen Zhen said: "Otherwise, in the opinion of Yichen, the land of business cannot be obtained, and Qi Qin has been reconciled." If Qi Qin is reconciled, there will be a catastrophe. “

The king of Chu said, "What basis do you have? “

Chen Zhen said: "The reason why Qin values Chu is because Chu has Qi as an ally, and now that it is closed to Qi, the power of Chu will be isolated. How could the Qin State be greedy for fellowship with an isolated country and give him six hundred li of land? When Zhang Yi returns to Qin, he will definitely make a promise, this is the king of the north and Qi and the west of Qin. The troops of the two countries must arrive at the same time. Now for the king's plan, it is better to be yin and yang than Qi, so that people go to Qin with Zhang Yi, if he really hands over the land, it is not too late to break off relations with Qi. “

The king of Chu said: "I hope you will keep your mouth shut and don't say much, and wait for the widow to get the land." So he sent the seal to Zhang Yi. and rewarded him greatly. Then the retreat was cut off. Make a general follow Zhang Yi into the Qin territory.

As soon as Zhang Yi entered the Qin State, he pretended to fall to the ground and did not go to court for three months. After the king of Chu found out, he said: "It seems that Zhang Yi thinks that I have not completely broken off with the Qi country, so he sent people to the Qi country to scold the king of Qi." The king of Qi was furious and broke the knot to deal with Qin. So Qi and Qin met. Zhang Yi went to see the Chu envoy and said, "You don't hurry up and get the land, from a certain place to a certain place, a vast six miles." The envoy was furious and reported back to the king of Chu. will send troops to attack Qin. Chen Zhen said: "Can I speak now? It is better to attack him than to bribe him with a city, and to attack him with all his might. This is my plan to die in Qin and get repaid for Qi. The king has broken off diplomatic relations with the Qi State today, and he wants to use troops against the Qin State in order to reproach the Qin State for his bullying, so that we will be attacked on both sides, and the national strength will definitely be greatly damaged. ”

The king of Chu did not listen. Make Qu Kuo Shuai Shi attack Qin. The state of Qin also made the chief Wei Zhang lead his troops to meet the attack.

For three years, the Qin army and the Chu army fought at Danyang. The Chu army was defeated. There were more than 70 people who were captivated and executed by the princes. Then he captured Hanzhong County.
