Zhang Jiashi himself is actually very clear that a big family, a famous family itself is rising in a small time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info八一?Chinese

And even if it is himself, he is also a typical example of being born in a reckless manner.

But compared to this situation, when a family successfully rises, if the family can directly affect the center, then the family will often become more and more threatening, and even become a relative because of some aspects, and have a more direct impact on the central authority.

On behalf of this aspect, there are many examples of the marriage methods of the countries before the Qin Empire.

Among them, as the most famous woman of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, that is, the family situation of the Empress Dowager Xuan, is the most intuitive embodiment.

......

In history, the name of the Empress Dowager Xuan is not examinable, and the title of the eighth son is more because later generations put the name of the position of the eighth son on the Empress Dowager Xuan.

The eighth son is the title of concubine of the Qin and Han emperors.

"Hanshu Biography of Foreign Relatives": "Hanxing, because of the title of Qin,...... The concubines are all called ladies, and there are ladies, beauties, belovers, eight sons, seven sons, long envoys, and young envoys. ”

Yan Shigu notes: "The difference between eight, seven, and Lu rank is also." ”

"Historical Records: Qin Benji": "Respect the eighth son of Tang as the empress dowager of Tang. ”

Xu Guang said: "The eight sons, the number of concubines." ”

In the Han Dynasty, the rank of Bazilu was equivalent to a thousand stone officials.

Such a situation is like Empress Dou during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, which is generally called Dou in historical books, and the name Dou Yifang is from Sima Zhen's "Historical Records Suoyin" in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that this source Zhang Jiashi thinks it is very unreliable, because there is no clear name in the records of the historical records, why does "Historical Records Suoyin" have a clear statement?

Moreover, the origin of Dou Yifang's Yifang is said to be the name of a palace in the palace of the Dynasty, and this palace is likely to be where Dou Yifang lived, so in the historical records, Yifang also became the name of Queen Dou.

Empress Dowager Xuan was the Empress Dowager of King Qin during the Warring States Period, the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin, and the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

At the beginning of the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Empress Dowager Xuan ruled as the empress dowager, and during her reign, she attacked and destroyed the Yiqu State and destroyed the western disaster of the Qin State in one fell swoop.

And under such a premise, Wei Ran, who has the full support of Empress Dowager Xuan, as the half-brother of Empress Dowager Xuan, successfully became a powerful minister of Qin, which has a great relationship.

......

Wei Ran has been in office since the time of King Qin Huiwen.

After the death of King Wu of Qin, he had no sons, so King Wu's younger brother Gongzi Ji was the monarch of the country, and he was the king of Qin Zhao.

King Qin Zhao's mother was originally a female official in the palace, called Mi Bazi, and when King Qin Zhao ascended the throne, Mi Bazi was called Empress Dowager Xuan.

Empress Dowager Xuan is not King Wu's biological mother. King Wu's mother was called Huiwen, and died before King Wu's death.

Empress Dowager Xuan had two younger brothers: her eldest half-brother was named Wei Ran, whose surname was Wei and his name was Ran, and her half-brother was called Mi Rong, who was Huayangjun.

King Qin Zhao also had two younger brothers of the same mother: one was called Gao Lingjun and the other was Jingyangjun.

Among many people, Wei Ran is the most virtuous, and has been in power since the time of King Hui and King Wu. After King Wu's death, his younger brothers vied to inherit the throne, and only Wei Ran had the ability to find and support King Qin Zhao.

After King Qin Zhao ascended the throne, he appointed Wei Ran as a general to garrison Xianyang. He once quelled the rebellion of Ji Jun Gongzi Zhuang and some ministers, and expelled Queen Wu to the Wei State, and all those brothers of King Qin Zhao who had bad intentions were destroyed, and Wei Ran's prestige shook the Qin State for a while. At that time, King Qin Zhao was still young, and Empress Dowager Xuan personally presided over the government and let Wei Ran take power.

In the seventh year of King Qin Zhao, he died of illness, and Qin sent Jingyang Jun to Qi as a hostage. Zhao Guoren Lou slowly came to Qin to serve as prime minister, which was obviously not good for Zhao State, so Zhao sent Qiu Liquid to Qin State to lobby and ask Wei Ran to serve as Qin Prime Minister.

Qiu Liquid was about to hit the road, and his disciple Song Gong said to Qiu Liquid: "If the King of Qin does not listen to your persuasion, Lou Xuan will definitely resent you." You might as well say to Lou Slow, 'Please plan for you, I persuade King Qin to appoint Wei Ran as prime minister, and there will be reservations.' ’

Seeing that the envoy of Zhao was not eager to appoint Wei Ran, the King of Qin must have felt strange and would not listen to your persuasion. You said that, if the matter is not successful, the King of Qin will use Lou Ran as the prime minister, and you will get Lou Zhuan's favor, and if the matter is successful, and the King of Qin appoints Wei Ran as the prime minister, then of course Wei Ran will be grateful to you.

So, Qiu Ye listened to Song Gong's opinion. Qin Guo really dismissed Lou Zhuan, and Wei Ran became the prime minister.

In the fourteenth year of King Qin Zhao, Wei Ranju used Bai Qi as a general and sent him to lead troops to attack Korea and Wei instead of Xiang Shou, defeated them at Yique, beheaded 240,000 people, and captured the Wei general Gongsun Xi.

In the fifteenth year of King Qin Zhao, he seized the two cities of Wan and Ye in Chu State. After that, Wei Rantuo was dismissed from office due to illness, and King Qin appointed Keqing Shouzhu as prime minister. In the second year, Shou Candle was dismissed, and Wei Ran was appointed as prime minister, so Wei Ran was given the title of Yu Di, and later Tao Yi was added, called Hou Hou. In the fourth year of Wei Ran's enthronement, he served as a general of the Qin State to attack the Wei State. Wei was forced to give up a 400-mile radius of land east of the river. Later, it occupied the Hanoi region of Wei and captured more than 60 large and small cities.

In the nineteenth year of King Qin Zhao, under the control of Wei Ran, King Qin Zhao proclaimed himself the Western Emperor and respected King Qi as the Eastern Emperor.

More than a month later, Lü Li came to Qin again, and the kings of Qi and Qin canceled the title of emperor and still claimed the title of king.

After Wei Ran was once again appointed as the prime minister of Qin, he was dismissed in the sixth year. Two years after his dismissal, he served as the prime minister of Qin for the third time. In the fourth year, Bai Qi was sent to capture the Yingdu of Chu, and Qin set up Nanjun. So he gave Bai Qi the title of Wu Anjun. Bai Qi is a general recommended by Wei Ran, and the two have a good relationship.

At that time, Wei Ran's private wealth passed the royal family.

Wei Ran is not incompetent, on the contrary, Wei Ran can repeat his phase many times and can make the people of Qin only know that Wei Ran does not know that there is a King of Qin, and his ability can be seen.

In the thirty-second year of King Qin Zhao, Wei Ran, Bai Qi and Keqing Hu Yang attacked Zhao again, Korea and Wei, and under the city of Huayang, they defeated Mangmao, beheaded 100,000 people, and captured Wei's volume, Caiyang, Changshe, and Zhao's Guanjin. Then he returned Guanjin to Zhao State, and increased the number of troops for Zhao State, so that Zhao could attack Qi State.

King Xiang of Qi was afraid of being killed, so he asked Su to secretly send Wei Ran a letter instead of Qi State, saying:

"I have heard rumors that 'Qin is going to send 40,000 soldiers to Zhao to attack Qi', and I must have said to our monarch in private, 'King Qin is shrewd and proficient in strategy, and Wei Ran is witty and proficient in military affairs, so he will definitely not do this'. Why do you say that? Han, Zhao, and Wei formed a friendly alliance, which was the great enemy of Qin. The relationship between the three countries is extraordinary, although there have been hundreds of betrayals and hundreds of deceptions, but they are not treacherous, and once they trust each other externally.

Now it is necessary to defeat the Qi Congress and make the Zhao State strong. The state of Zhao was the great enemy hated by the state of Qin, and it was obviously not good for the state of Qin. That's the first point.

The advisors and strategists of the Qin State would definitely say, 'Defeat the Qi State, first weaken the power of the Three Jin and Chu States, and then win the battle'. In fact, the state of Qi is a tired country with weak strength, and mobilizing the forces of the princes of the world to attack the state of Qi is like using a strong bow to break through the festering carbuncle, and the state of Qi will surely perish, how can it weaken the state of Sanjin and Chu? This is the second point.

If Qin sent few troops, then the Three Jin and Chu would not trust Qin, and if they sent too many troops, the Three Jin and Chu would worry that they would be controlled by Qin. The State of Qi was afraid of being defeated, and would not take refuge in the State of Qin, but would definitely take refuge in the State of Sanjin and the State of Chu. This is the third point.

The Qin State lured the Three Jin and Chu States by dividing the Qi State, and the Three Jin and Chu States sent troops to defend them, and the Qin State would suffer from the enemy on its back. This is the fourth point.

This kind of practice is to let the Sanjin and Chu use the power of the Qin State to seek the Qi State, and use the land of the Qi State to deal with the Qin State, why are the Three Jin and Chu States so smart and the Qin State and the Qi State so stupid? This is the fifth point.

Therefore, if you take Anyi and manage it well, there will be no disaster. Qin occupied Anyi, and Korea must not be able to control Shangdang. Which is advantageous to seize the central region of the world compared to sending troops and worrying that they will not be able to return? These reasons are obvious, so I said that Qin State was shrewd and proficient in strategy, and Wei Ran was witty and proficient in military affairs, and he would definitely not give Zhao State 40,000 soldiers to let him attack Qi State. ”

So Wei Ran stopped marching and led the troops back to China.

In the thirty-third year of King Qin Zhao, Wei turned his back on Qin and made friends with Qi. The king of Qin sent Wei Ran to attack Wei, killing 40,000 enemies, causing Wei to flee in defeat and capture three counties of Wei. Wei Ran added another fiefdom.

In the thirty-sixth year of King Qin Zhao, Wei Ran, the then Xiangguo, discussed with Keqingzao to attack Qi and seize the two cities of Gang and Shou, so as to expand his fiefdom in Taoyi.

At this time, there was a Wei man named Fan Ju, who called himself Mr. Zhang Lu, and ridiculed Wei Ran for crossing Han, Wei and other countries to attack Qi, and he took this opportunity to ask for persuasion of King Qin Zhao.

Fan Ju explained to King Qin Zhao that Empress Dowager Xuan was **** in the imperial court, Wei Ran was in power in foreign affairs, and Jingyangjun, Gao Lingjun and others were too extravagant, so that they were richer than the monarch's family.

This made King Qin Zhao wake up, so he dismissed Wei Ran from his position as Xiangguo, and ordered Jingyangjun and others to move out of the national capital and go to his fiefdom Taoyi.

When Wei Ran walked out of the national capital checkpoint, there were more than 1,000 cars carrying goods and people. Wei Ran died in Taoyi and was buried there. The Qin State recovered Taoyi and set it up as a county.

......

In addition to Wei Ran, there is also an example of Zhao Dun.

Zhao Dun is considered to be the first powerful minister of the Jin State after the Duke of Wen of Jin, integrating military and political power, serving as the ruling party, known as Zhengqing, and the rule of law in the Jin State. During his reign in the Jin State, his power leaned towards the government and the opposition, which impacted and weakened the power of the Jin monarchy, established the prestige of the Zhao family, and made the Zhao family dominate the Jin State. He served the Three Dynasties all his life and maintained the hegemony of Jin Wen's public creation.

When Jin Xiangong, Xiangong vigorously opened up the territory, the country is rising, the land of Jin is expanding rapidly, Zhao Shu once served as the royal Rong of Jin Xiangong, brave in battle, sealed in Geng, ranked as a doctor, Zhao resurfaced on the surface of history. However, Zhao's take-off is also due to Zhao Shu's grandson Zhao Yuan.

When Zhao Yu was young, he followed Gongzi Chong'er, accompanied Chong'er all his life, and was born and died for it, never complaining.

In the later years of Jin Xiangong, he favored Li Ji, and finally caused the Li Ji Rebellion, the crown prince Shen Sheng was forced to commit suicide, the second son Chong'er and Yiwu fled, and Zhao Yu guarded Pucheng. Jin Xiangong sent a large army to attack Pucheng, wanting to kill Chong'er, but Chong'er had to abandon Pucheng and defect to his home country, Zhai.

Chong'er and his entourage came to Zhai State, keeping an eye on domestic trends, and had nothing to do all day long. Hou Zhai attacked the Rong tribe and got two beautiful girls. Zhai Jun married the young woman to Chong'er and gave birth to two sons, Bo Lu and Shu Liu, and the older woman (Shu Kui) gave Zhao Yu his wife and gave birth to a son, and Zhao Yu named his son "Dun".

Strictly speaking, Jin Wengong and Zhao Yu are brothers-in-law, so Jin Xianggong and Zhao Dun are cousins without blood.

Zhao Dun's heyday in terms of authority was after he killed Jin Linggong.

Of course, in a sense, this can be regarded as Jin Linggong's own suicide......

In 612 BC, Zhao Dun led an army to defeat the Qi State that did not obey the orders of the overlord, and on the way to the army, the news suddenly came that the monarch was going to withdraw from the army.

Zhao Dun was confused, withdrew the army and went back to ask, only to know that Linggong took other people's money, which really made it difficult for Zhao Dun to step down, and it was even worse, this was to tell the world that the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom were not in harmony.

Since Qi Guo made this big joke, almost all the princes of the Central Plains knew that Jin Linggong was better than Zhao Dun, so everyone was bold. We are afraid of Zhao Dun, but Zhao Dun is afraid of Jin Linggong. Even if he pokes out the great Louzi, as long as he bribes their king, he will take people's money and eliminate disasters for people. And this trick has been tried and tested. In this way, the hegemony of the Jin State was ridiculed by the people, anyway, Jin Linggong didn't care, they laughed at Zhao Dun, let them know that the Jin State or I had the final say.

Xiaobawang embarrassed Zhao Dun internationally, and he was also a bad ghost in China. In order to satisfy his own desire for poverty and luxury, he built a large palace mansion and increased the burden on the people.

Zhao Dun and other ministers could only persuade each other with good words, and now the monarch of the small country was happy, which was even more ridiculous. Not only is it absurd but also very brutal, he likes to stand on a high platform and shoot passers-by with a slingshot, watching people hug their heads and run around, Linggong feels very happy. From good to good, from evil to collapse!

One day, Zhao Dun and the scholars were about to go to meet Linggong, and saw several palace maids carrying a dustpan, showing a hand outside.

Shihui and Zhao Dun successively went to persuade Linggong how to be diligent and love the people. Linggong was afraid of Zhao Dun's power, and nodded his head again and again. After that, Zhao Dun admonished Linggong many times, Linggong was in adolescence and had a strong rebellious mentality. Zhao Dun said too much, but he was annoyed. Whether Zhao Dun has a desire to abolish Ling Dun, we can only guess, but Ling Gong has a murderous intention towards Zhao Dun is certain.

Soon Linggong first sent the killer to assassinate, but the killer saw that Zhao Dun was so diligent and moved to commit suicide.

Linggong can't make a plan and make another plan. Set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Dun, and during the banquet, he sent a knife and axe hand to release the evil dog, and Zhao Dun's car right Ti Miming and a person in the Linggong array called Lingyu desperately protected Zhao Dun, and Zhao Dun had to get off. Zhao Dun also arranged it, and then he went into exile.

This period of time is the process of qualitative change in Zhao Dun's heart, and the former Zhao Yu taught Zhao Dun to be a loyal minister, but the reality made Zhao Dun completely awake. If a loyal minister can't do it, then be a powerful minister!

It didn't take long for news to spread that Zhao Dun's cousin Zhao Chuan had killed Linggong. Linggong drank with Zhao Dun, ambushed the armor to kill Zhao Dun, Ti Miming rescued him with death, and Zhao Dun escaped from Jindu. On the day of the second chou, Zhao pierced and killed Linggong in Taoyuan. Zhao Dun returned to the capital and set up the son of the black buttocks as the king, which was for the Duke of Jincheng. Taishi Dong Hushu said: "Zhao Dun killed his monarch Yigao." Zhao Dun said that he didn't kill people. Shi Hu said: "The son is Zhengqing, and he doesn't listen to the advice." If you are not far away, you will kill the king, but you will not please the thief, but you will be like-minded. Therefore, the book says, 'Jin Zhao Dun killed his monarch Yi Gao'."

In this way, Zhao Dun can be regarded as giving an explanation to the Chinese people. Gongzi Hei Buttocks succeeded to the throne for Jin Chenggong, and Cheng Gong saw the fate of his own nephew rebelling against Zhao Dun, and he treated the Zhao family carefully. So in the year of his succession, he completely entrusted the state administration to Zhao Dun.

After this series of changes, Zhao Dun continued to be the overlord with dignity, and no powerful politician would mention Linggong again, and no government dignitaries dared to oppose Zhao Dun. Only one loyal Dong Hu wrote in the history books, "Zhao Dun killed his king!" Everyone has become numb to Zhao Dun's dictatorship, even if they are still conscious, it is better to be numb. The sentient Linggong has been killed, who else in the Jin Kingdom will be sentient?

Zhao Chuan's killing of Jin Linggong actually laid the groundwork for the first decline of the Zhao family. If it weren't for Zhao Wu's chance to meet again, then the six secretaries of the Jin State would probably have to change.
