Volume 6 Qin Ji I (5)
Ten years of winter October. Wen Xin Hou was exempted. Out of the country.
The ministers of the clan commented: "The people of the princes who came to Qin as officials were just for the purpose of traveling for their main court. Please expel all guests from the Qin Kingdom. β
So he ordered a nationwide search and expelled the princes and guests.
Li Si, a guest secretary from Chu, was also expelled. Before leaving, he wrote: "At the beginning, Mu Gong asked for a scholar, and the west was taken by Yu Rong. East has a hundred miles of Xi Yu Yuan. Uncle Yingqian Yu Song. In the Jin Kingdom, he sought the grandson of Pi Leopard. Therefore, it became a hegemony, and the country was twenty, and then it dominated Xirong. The law of filial piety and public use of martingale, the princes are personally obedient, and they are still strong. King Hui used Zhang Yi's strategy to disperse the subordination of the six countries. Make them subordinate to the Qin State. King Zhao has Fan Ju, a strong office, and a private door. The success of these four kings was due to the merits of their guests. It can be seen from this that why should the guests lose to Qin? Sele pearl jade, not produced in Qin, for the king to serve the many people. Selecting people is different from this. Regardless of whether it is okay or not, no matter whether it is right or wrong, if it is not from the Qin State, it should leave. And those who were guests here were expelled. This shows that the king values the pearl and jade, and despises the talents and the people. The minister heard that Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big. The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so it can be deep. The king does not refuse the people, so he can understand his virtue. This is the reason why the five emperors and three kings are invincible. Now he abandons the people to enrich the enemy country, and rejects the guests to strengthen the princes' inheritance. Isn't this taking the resources of the state to finance the enemy country? β
The king of Qin then summoned Li Si back and abolished the edict of expulsion. Li Si came back as soon as he arrived in Liyi. The king of Qin then used Li Si's strategy to send the debaters to carry gold and silver and lobby the princes. and he that refused to accept the silver and gold was then slain with a sharp sword. The plan to divide the monarch and the ministers, and then make the elite soldiers and good generals follow, and in a few years, they annexed the world.

Wen Xinhou returned to the fief for more than a year, and the envoys of the princes came to invite him to look at him. The king of Qin was afraid that it would change, so he sent a letter to the Marquis of Wenxin, saying: "What is the merit of the king to Qin, and to seal the king of Henan to eat 100,000 households? How can he be close to Qin, and he is known as the middle father? He and his family moved to Shudi. β
Wen Xinhou knew that he was gradually being neglected, and he was deeply afraid of being punished.
Twelve years. Wen Xinhou drank poisoned wine and died.
Secretly buried. His guests were exiled, and those who came to the funeral were exiled. And said: From now on, those who run the affairs of the state are not like Chang Yuwei, and they have no family like them. Yangzi Fayan said, someone asked LΓΌ Buwei if he could be called a wise man? People for goods, who said that Wei is a wise man? exchanging the country for the clan, LΓΌ Buwei's thief is just the chief of the thieves who dig into the corners of the wall.
No rain since June, as for August. The soldiers of the four counties were sent to help Wei Huachu.

Zhao Guo named Li Mu as Wu Anjun.
Fourteen years. Huan and Zhao. Take Yi'an, Binh Duong, Wucheng.
Han Wang Nadi, and sent the national seal, please be a border minister. So that Han Fei came to ask for a job.
Han Fei is the son of South Korea. He is good at the study of criminal names and spells. Seeing that Korea was weakening day by day, he repeatedly admonished the king of Han. Han Wang can't use it.
Therefore, because of the current reality, Han Fei did not seek to appoint people as virtuous, but recommended the prostitution. And put these above those who have made meritorious contributions and sought truth, regardless of the country's leniency, what they support is not what they use, and what they use is not what they support. lamenting that honesty cannot be tolerated by evil ministers. The changes of the gains and losses of the observers, as a lonely grave, five beetles, internal and external storage, saying forest, saying difficult, fifty-six articles, more than ten thousand words. The king of Qin heard about his sage and wanted to see him. Han Fei sent an envoy to the State of Qin for South Korea, because he wrote to the King of Qin: "The Qin region is thousands of miles, and the army is nominally millions of dollars. The minister risked his life to go to the king, saying that he had a plan to break the world and obey the covenant. If the king can listen to the ministers, the world will never be dissolved in one fell swoop, Zhao Buju, Han Bupo, Jing Wei is not a minister, Qi Yan is not close, the name of the overlord is not successful, the neighboring princes are not in court, and the king can behead the ministers and martyr the country. to admonish those who are vassals and not faithful to their Lords. King Qin liked him very much, and before he could use it, Li Si was jealous and said to King Qin: "Han Fei is the prince of Korea. Now he wants to speak and become princes. But Han Fei will finally only think about South Korea and South Korea. It's human nature. Now the king doesn't need him, but he stays behind and lets him return to the country, which will be a disaster for the Qin State in the long run, so it is better to behead him according to the law to prevent future disasters. β
The king of Qin thought it was, so he sent Han Fei to prison, and Li Si sent him poison to make him commit suicide. Han Fei wanted to show himself, but he couldn't see it. The king of Qin later regretted it and had him pardoned. Han Fei has committed suicide. Yangzi said: "Some people say that Han Fei wrote a book of difficulty, and then died of difficulty." Is it difficult to say that it was the cause of his death? Not really. The gentleman moves with courtesy, stops with righteousness, and advances if he joins, otherwise he retreats. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you will naturally die. Sima Guang said that a gentleman loves his country and the country of people. Therefore, he can be famous and beautiful and enjoy the blessings, and now Han Fei is plotting for the Qin State, first of all, he wants to overthrow his own sect in order to realize his words, his sins are no longer worthy of death, and what is there to sympathize with.
Fifteen years. The king of Qin sent a large army to attack Zhao. All the way to Ye, all the way to Taiyuan, take the wolf Meng. Fanwu, because of the encounter with Li Mu's return to the army.
At first, Prince Dan of Yan was once a hostage in the Zhao State and was friendly with the King of Qin. The king of Qin ascended the throne, Zidan was hostage to Qin, and the king of Qin treated him rudely. Yan Dan fled back in anger.

The people of Qin gave more gold and silver to the king of Zhao and Guo Kai, so that he destroyed Li Mu and Sima Shang. Say they're going to rebel.

Nineteen years. Wang Jian attacked Zhao Jun. Break the Zhao army and kill Zhao Cong. Yan Ju fled. Then he conquered Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. When the king of Qin arrived in Handan, he killed all those who had enmity with his mother's family in the past. Returned from Taiyuan and Shangjun.

Prince Yan Dan resented the King of Qin. will take revenge on him. Ask his master, Wu Wu. Wu asked him to go west about the three Jin, connect Qi and Chu in the south, and the Xiongnu in the north to reject Qin. The prince said; "Master's plan is protracted, and I can't wait for a moment." It happened that the Qin general Fan Yuzhi was offended in the Qin State and fled to the Yan State. The prince took him away. Ju Wujin admonished: "With the violence of the King of Qin, the anger of Yan is already chilling. What's more, I heard that General Fan is here? This is the only way to put fat meat on the hungry tiger. I hope that the prince will send General Fan to the Xiongnu as soon as possible," the prince said: "General Fan is poor in the world, and now he is in me, how can I let him go to the unpredictable Xiongnu, I hope to think of another way." Ju Wu said: "Do danger to seek safety, create disasters as blessings, plan shallow and complain deeply, connect a person's friends, regardless of the great harm of the country." This will only help to add to the trouble. The prince didn't listen.
When the prince heard that the guard Jing Ke was virtuous, he met him with humility and courtesy, and said to him: "Now the Qin people have taken away the king of Han and raised troops to attack Chu in the south. It is bordered by Zhao to the north. If Zhao can't resist, the disaster will come to Yan. The Yan State is small and weak, and the number of soldiers is trapped. How can I resist the attack of the Qin people? The princes were all convinced by the Qin State, and no one dared to talk about peace again. I thought that if I could win the warriors of the world, I would go to the Qin State and kidnap the King of Qin, so that he would return to the lost land of the invaded princes. It's just like Cao Mo and Qi Huangong back then. If King Qin disagrees, assassinate him. His generals are all good at soldiers, once there is civil strife, the monarch and the ministers must be suspicious, and the princes will take the opportunity to obey, and they will definitely be able to destroy the Qin State. I hope Mr. Jing will pay attention to this matter. β
Jing Ke agreed, so Jing Ke lived in the upper house. The prince visited his disciples every day and cared for Jing Ke meticulously. and Wang Jian to destroy Zhao. When the prince heard this, he was terrified. I want to send Jing Ke to act. Jing Ke said: "Now that I am going, there is no trustworthy token, and the King of Qin is not to be approached. If you can get the head of General Fan, plus the map of Yan Guo's governor. Give this to King Qin. The king of Qin will definitely be happy to meet his ministers. And that's it. The prince said, "General Fan is poor and comes back, I can't bear it." Jing Ke went to see Fan Yuzhi in private and said, "The Qin State treats the general too ruthlessly. Both parents and clans were killed. Now I heard that I am buying the head of the general again. Reward the towns of ten thousand families and thousands of catties of gold. What did the general think to do? Fan Yuzhi sighed and wept and said, "Do you have any plans? β
Jing Ke said: "I wish to be the head of the general, and I will take it and present it to the King of Qin." The king of Qin will definitely be happy to see his ministers. I took the opportunity to put his sleeve with my left hand and split his chest with my right hand. In this way, the general's revenge was avenged, and the matter of Yan Guo's suffering* was resolved. Fan Yuzhi said: "This is what the minister is paying attention to day and night. So he committed suicide. When the prince heard this, he ran to fall on him and wept, but to no avail. So he used a wooden box to hold his head, and the prince had already sought the sharpest dagger in the world, so that the workers could quench it with medicine. If you try someone with a knife, you will die immediately. So Zhi pretended to send Jing Ke to act, with Qin Wuyang, a warrior of the Yan Kingdom, as his deputy.
