Zhang Yi stared at this majestic and tall Xianyang Palace with both eyes, and refused to leave for a long time. This palace has placed too many people's dreams, and also entrusted him with the ambition of going down to Sanchuan and watching Jiuding, in order to fight for the world. Qin Wangdang's sentence "Zhang Yi, you go!" The widow does not need you, nor does he kill you. Zhang Yi was so sad in her heart. The new king could not tolerate him, and he would never be seen in this hall again. With unspeakable grief, he left Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangdang succeeded to the throne, neither reusing Zhang Yi nor alienating him. The minister of Qin has already seen that the court will change its political style. In the past, in front of Zhang Yi's mansion, it can be described as a busy traffic, like a street market. It is also one of the most lively places in Xianyang. Now, the doormen and friendly ministers have left, and the mansion seems empty and deserted. Zhang Yi still remembers the first time he came to the Qin State and dedicated his domineering skills to Qin Gongsi (King Qin Huiwen). The prince of Qin was determined to be in the world, accepted Zhang Yi's strategy, and also took Zhang Yi as his appearance.

Qin Gongsi personally asked people to supervise the construction of this mansion. After the mansion was built, Qin Gongsi came here with Zhang Yi, pointed to the mansion and said, "Zhang Yi, from today on, this place is yours." ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was ashamed of it, and hurriedly said: "The minister has not yet established meritorious service for the Qin State, how can he accept it." ”

Qin Gongsi laughed and said, "Whether you accept it or not, this mansion is yours." Zhang Yi, how can you live up to the widow's wishes. ”

Zhang Yi couldn't refuse, and thanked: "Thank you." ”

Qin Gongsi said proudly: "The princes of the Central Plains despise the Qin State. The widow has lived his whole life, and all the princes in the world must know that the Qin State is not the country of Xiaorong in the west. If the widow wants the Qin State to be proud of the princes of the world, he can't do without your help. Qin Guo will entrust you. ”

Although more than ten years have passed since the past, he remembers it vividly, as if it was still yesterday.

In 325 BC, at the suggestion of Zhang Yi and others, Qin Gongsi followed the example of Wei Qi and followed the royal road to fight for the world. Subsequently, Zhang Yi invited Qi and Chu to divide the world evenly to chaos the princes of the Central Plains. He served as the minister of Wei and drove out Gongsun Yan, who was an enemy of Qin, and Wei Xianghuishi, who united with the state of Qi to control Qin. Qi Wei Wang Tian died one after another, because Qi and Wei Hui died one after another. Qin Gongsi thought that the opportunity to fight for the world had come, and used Han Wei to crusade against the Qi State. In the first battle of Sanqiu, the Qin and Qin kingdoms were defeated, and they also woke up the Qin Wangsi. Qin Wangsi clearly realized that Qin could not win against Qi, and it was not enough to challenge the princes of the world.

The Qin State Sanqiu was defeated, and the Wei State saw the opportunity and decided to balance the Qin State. The Wei State took Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai, as the joint commander, and the five states of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu sent a letter to the valley to break the Qin. Faced with the powerful position of the Five Nations Alliance, the Qin State faced the first crisis of national destruction in history.

Qin Hui Wang Si summoned the strength of the whole country and personally led the army to Hangu Pass to resist the alliance of the Five Nations. At this time, Zhang Yi returned to the Qin State and offered a series of strategies to the King of Qin Hui, first winning over the Qi State and threatening the Three Jins. Later, the relationship between the five countries was divided. Chu and Yan retreated, and Qin attacked the Three Jin Dynasty before breaking the crisis.

The king of Qin swept the Yiqu, shocked Xirong, and sent a letter to the east to attack the three Jin Dynasty in order to avenge the revenge of the valley. Xiuyu fought and killed 82,000 Han Zhaowei. The great victory of the Qin state shook the princes of the world. Today's Qin already has enough strength to compete for the world. Subsequently, the Qin State attacked the Three Jins, with more victories and fewer defeats.

King Yan ceded the country, triggering the rebellion of the son. The attention of the states of Qi, Zhao, Korea, Wei, and Zhongshan was in the state of Yan. The Qin State took the opportunity to take Bashu, attacked Han Jian Chu, and expelled Gongsun Yan. Zhang Yi deceived Chu and triggered the Battle of Danyang. In the battle of Qin and Chu, the Qin State won a complete victory, killing 80,000 Chu troops. Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, was unwilling to fail, and the troops of Xiguo re-attacked Qin.

The Great War of Qin and Chu was further unfolded, which in turn led to the Second Great War of the Central Plains. In the Battle of Lantian, the state of Chu also brought the second danger of losing the country to the state of Qin. In order to deal with the state of Chu, Qin Wangsi lowered the age of conscription to fifteen years old, personally ascended the high altar, and published the "Curse of Chu". Zhang Yi actively engaged in diplomacy and united with Han Wei and Yue to attack the Chu State in order to relieve the danger of the Qin State. Subsequently, Qin and Chu formed an alliance, and Qin united with Han and Wei to go north, defeated Qiang Qi on the edge of Pushui, and bloodied the shame of Sanqiu's defeat.

Just when the Qin State achieved a great situation, the King of Qin died.

King Qin died, and Prince Dang succeeded to the throne. Zhang Yi's status and power in the Qin State were weakened step by step. Today's Zhang Yi is no longer a high-ranking and powerful person, above 10,000 people.

"Zhang Yi, let's go! The Qin State doesn't need you, and the widows don't need you. This sentence echoed in the depths of Zhang Yi's mind all the time. Zhang Yi's heart was sad, angry, and blood spurted out. Zhang Yu saw that after Zhang Yi came out of the palace, the whole person looked old, and asked, "Zhang Xiang." ”

Zhang Yi stopped him from talking, stared at the mansion for a long time, and said abruptly: "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Yu reminded: "Qin Xiang, I've arrived at the house." ”

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "The Qin State doesn't need me anymore, and the king doesn't need me either." ”

When Zhang Yu heard this, his face stiffened, and he said angrily: "Qin Xiang has made great contributions to the Qin country, and his merits are outstanding. How could the king treat Qin Xiang. ”

"If I don't leave, the king won't let me go." Zhang Yi closed his eyes and recalled what Qin Wangdang said: "Zhang Yi, if you are in the Qin State for a day, the widow will have trouble sleeping and eating. You are a powerful man, and no one can control you. You are not a Gongsun martingale, and the widow will not hate you, nor will they kill you. Let's go! The Qin State doesn't need you, and the widows don't need you. ”

Zhang Yu asked, "Qin Xiang, will the king kill you?" ”

"Break the five countries, calm the Shu chaos, and cut down the righteous canal. The king's position in the Qin State cannot be shaken. The king does not need to kill me. If the king kills me, he will not only chill the hearts of the scholars, but also bear the infamy of killing the heroes for a lifetime. I am afraid that it will arouse the rebellion of the Wei ministers. The king asked me to leave the Qin State, so that I could not only avoid being infamy, but also stabilize the situation. The king was over twenty years old last year, and he did this, and he will have a lot to do in the future! Zhang Yi took a breath and continued: "If the king doesn't kill me, I should also fulfill him." Zhang Yi ended up like this, and she was also to blame. ”

"Qin Xiang has already arrived at the mansion, it's better to..."

Zhang Yi cut off: "The old man is gone, and things are wrong." Stepping into it again will only increase the sadness. Zhang Yi entered Qin alone, and today he left Qin alone. ”

Out of Xianyang City, Zhang Yi looked back again and again, and her heart was full of reluctance. This city has brought him too many, too many memories that cannot be erased. It also made him famous and realized his ambitions.

Zhang Yu sighed, and couldn't bear to ask, "Qin Xiang, where are you going?" ”

"Wei, Zhao, Korea, Chu, Qi, Yan, all the princes of the world have been offended by Zhang Yi, how can they let Zhang Yi survive. The world is so big, and there is no place for Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi exclaimed sadly: "Zhang Yi does not live up to the Qin State, and does not live up to the Qin State." Zhang Yi closed his eyes lightly, and said sadly in his heart: "Qin State, there is no going back." ”

Zhang Yu drove the carriage and headed east. I don't know how long it took, a person appeared in Zhang Yi's mind, suddenly opened his eyes, and asked, "Where are you?" ”

Zhang Yu replied: "Qin Xiang, you have reached the edge of the big river. ”

Zhang Yi said anxiously: "Go north, I want to see an old man." ”

Zhang Yi didn't have any friends in the Qin State, how could there be an old man. Zhang Yu had doubts in his heart, so he didn't ask much. The carriage went north, and Zhang Yu saw that this place was deserted, overgrown with weeds, and could not be passed, so he asked, "Qin Xiang, you can't pass ahead." ”

Zhang Yi stepped out of the carriage, took a deep breath and said, "You don't have to follow me. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Qin Xiang, this place is barren and populated, and I am afraid that there will be big insects infested. ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky." God wants me to bury the belly of the big worm, which also shows that Zhang Yi has this catastrophe in his life. How could Zhang Yi disobey the will of God? After speaking, Zhang Yi walked forward. Zhang Yu was reluctant to leave, walked in front, and used his long sword to clear the way for him. After walking for half an hour, Zhang Yi stopped and stared.

Zhang Yu saw a mound overgrown with weeds in front of him, and asked, "Qin Xiang, is he the old man you want to see?" ”

"I haven't met him. It's not an old man. ”

Around the tomb, there was nothing to be found, except for a wooden tablet. Because of the wind and rain, the wooden tablet can no longer see the handwriting. The place is desolate and inhospitable, and the graves are overgrown with high weeds, so no one must have come to pay their respects. Zhang Yi sat in front of the grave, opened a pot of wine, took a sip and said, "Zhang Yu, do you know who is buried here." ”

Zhang Yu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"He is a patriot, and his name is Gongsun Marting."

"Qin Xiang, Zhang Yu has never heard of this person."

Zhang Yi glanced at the grave, then at Zhang Yu, raised his neck and took a sip of wine, "This is already more than 20 years old!" Gongsun Martingale dedicated his life to the Qin State and made outstanding contributions. Qin Xiaogong gave him the land of Shangyu. Later generations forgot his name and called him Shangjun. ”

"Shang Jun." When Zhang Yu heard this, his pupils widened, "It's the Shang Jun who was executed by the first king with the punishment of car splitting." ”

"Not bad." Zhang Yi said lightly: "It's this person." ”

Zhang Yu was shocked: "Shang Jun was born and died for the Qin State, a generation of famous people. After he died, he was buried here, how sad. ”

Zhang Yi didn't answer, and smiled faintly. What about the glory and illustriousness in life, it is not a barren mound after death, and there is no descendant to worship. Zhang Yu asked: "Shang Jun is a great hero of the Qin State, why did the king kill Shang Jun after succeeding to the throne." ”

"Do you think Shang Jun is a great hero?" Zhang Yi sighed: "Some people think that he is a criminal minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

Zhang Yu said: "The Qin State can have today, it is all the work of the Shang Jun. How could Shang Jun be a criminal minister who brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

"The Qin State can have today, it is the work of the ancestors of the past dynasties. It's just that he was lucky enough to catch up. Zhang Yi said: "King Wu will destroy Shang and set the capital in Haojing." After 11 generations and 12 kings, 275 years. The state of Qin has been in existence for hundreds of years without being destroyed by the dogs. This is the winning surname family can fight well. In the previous dynasty, the surname Win was a prominent tribe. King Wu was defeated, and the tribe surnamed Ying was loyal to Shang, but was tragically killed, and the living people were forced to move to Dongyi. Wu Geng rebelled, the tribe surnamed Win supported him, the rebellion was put down, and the once noble and prominent tribe surnamed Win became slaves. However, the winning clan is not willing to be mediocre and dares to challenge his destiny to the sky. During the reign of King Zhao, the Son of Heaven traveled westward, and Qiongchi Yaotai met with the Queen Mother. The state of Xu rebelled, and the ancestor surnamed Ying made his father to drive the king to quell the rebellion. As for the filial piety king, Feizi was sealed as Qin land because of his meritorious work in raising horses. Feizi takes the land as his clan and Qin Huan as his family, and becomes the surname of Ying. Qin Huan raised horses for the Western Zhou Dynasty and was made a vassal by King Xiao. When King Xuan, Qin Ying assisted Zhou and fought in thousands of acres. Qin won the frost and dew, cut the thorns, and until the king of You was killed by the dog Rong, Qin Huan sent troops to attack the dog Rong and helped the king of Ping move east. King Ping made Qin a secretary and gave Qin Huan the land west of Qishan. The state of Qin was established. The princes of the world despise the Qin State, also because the Qin State is not a descendant of the royal family, nor is it a meritorious queen, but just a horse breeder. They forgot that the Qin State was a descendant of the noble Win clan. ”

Zhang Yi took another sip of wine, "After Qin Huan founded the country, he overcame the waves and restored the glory and honor of his ancestors. Heavy military belligerence is also Qin Ying's blood, and several monarchs of Qin died in battles with Xirong. After a hundred years of struggle, Ying Qin paid unknown bitter blood and tears to dominate Xirong. The Qin State twice supported the sons of the Jin State to return to China to compete for the throne, and one of them was the famous Jin Wen Gong Ji Chong'er. The state of Qin helped the state of Chu and attacked the state of Wu to restore the state. The state of Qin was also one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, there were infighting and frequent changes of monarchs in the Qin State, coupled with the Xirong Koubian, the status of the Qin State as a great power plummeted. Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, and the Wei State implemented law changes, and a new army sprung up. Wei Wushu was rampant in the world, and the princes could not be defeated. The disaster of the Qin State also followed. In the first battle of Hexi, Wei broke the Qin state and seized 800 miles of land west of the Qin River. Qin Xiangong succeeded to the throne and defeated Wei several times. After the death of Qin Xiangong in battle, Qin Xiaogong succeeded to the throne. Qin had difficulties in internal and external relations, and Shang Jun came to Qin. ”

Zhang Yi took another sip of wine, "The Qin State is worthy of being a descendant of the surname Ying, although the war situation is unfavorable, it does not cede land and does not seek peace. The successive generations of ancestors succeeded to the throne and did not forget to regain the lost territory and regain the glory of their ancestors. After a hundred years of repeated wars with the Wei State, the land west of the river returned to the Qin State. ”

Zhang Yu said: "The Qin State's recovery of Hexi is all the merit of Shang Jun. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head, "Everyone only knows the merits of Shang Jun, but they don't know the way of Qin Xiaogong. If it weren't for Qin Xiaogong's fulfillment of him, how could Shang Jun have established meritorious deeds. Shang Jun was a concubine in Wei and once offered advice to the king of Wei. King Wei abandoned it because Shang Jun's method was too cruel. ”

Zhang Yu argued: "Shang Jun changed the law twice, and the Qin State began to become strong..."

"The state of Qin has always had the roots of an overlord. Without Shang Jun, the Qin State would be able to gain a foothold among the princes. Zhang Yi said: "The laws of Shang Jun are all imitated by Wei, Qi, and Chu. Tumu Lixin also imitated Wu Qi's way of using soldiers. The method of sitting together is even more tragic, destroying humanity and destroying humanity. The Qin State was made into a miasma by him. Shang Jun is mean and unkind, if he does not die, the Qin State will die. Even if it is not forgotten in the hands of the princes, it will die at the hands of the people. Shang Jun seems to be a hero of the Qin State, but he is actually a criminal minister of the Qin State. After the Qin State changed the law by Shang Jun, the people were already angry. The people did not attack because they believed in Qin Xiaogong, not the law of Shang Jun. After the death of Qin Xiaogong, the first king killed him to thank the people for their anger. This is also the reason why the first king executed him with the punishment of car splitting, and the Qin State not only did not have turmoil, but ruled greatly. I admire him, he strives for the Qin State and is loyal. I admire him for living for his ideals. ”

Zhang Yi's face was full of sorrow, and he howled: "Shang Jun! Shang Jun. You were once majestic, Qin Xiaogong favored you and reused you, and the people were afraid of you. How desolate it is that you are buried in a desolate place when you die, and there is not even a single person to sacrifice. Zhang Yi is so similar to you, he has been a country all his life, and he has ended up in such a field, we are all poor people! ”
