No matter how magnificent the empire a king controls, no matter how many great achievements a general has, no matter how naïve and absurd a dumb king is, no matter how mercenary a traitor is. None of them can escape the scythe of death with the blade of time. Countless monarchs with great talents and strategies, in their twilight years, have tried to stretch out their trembling palms, hoping to grasp eternal life. But, apparently, no one has done it.

The great monarch Qin Huiwen, who laid the foundation of the Qin Empire's unification of the world, was naturally no exception, no matter how terrifying his ambitions, no matter how impressive his scheming skills, he could not live forever, in 311 BC, at the age of forty-six, King Qin Huiwen died of illness and was buried in the northern plains of Xianyang. His son Yingdang succeeded to the throne and was called King Wulie of Qin.

This somewhat impatient young monarch was born with divine powers, and since he was a child, he loved to dance with guns and sticks, and wrestle with wrestling. After the death of King Qin Huiwen, he inherited the throne, and the entire Qin country quickly changed its atmosphere, and the Qin people, who were originally fierce, although under the strict punishment of the Shang monarch, successfully vented this bloody courage to the eastern princes, but in essence, the Qin people were still brave and fierce.

Just as Qin Xiaogong reused Shang Ying back then, and King Qin Huiwen quickly broke this reformer at the beginning of his succession, King Qin Wu seems to plan to follow his father's example and get rid of Zhang Yi after ascending the throne. However, although King Qin Huiwen killed Shang Ying, it was out of a balance of interests in many aspects, and although Shang Jun died in a split car, his law and the direction pointed out to the Qin Empire still continued.

Zhang Yi has been in a high position for many years, so he naturally has his own news channels, and when he learned that King Wu did not like him, he made up his mind to escape from the Qin State, and with his outstanding talent and skill, he was able to live well compared to leaving the Qin State. And Zhang Yi seemed to be a little puzzled, why did King Qin Wu have to expel or even get rid of himself?

In fact, King Qin Wu is far from being as simple-minded and capricious and domineering as he was in later generations. A young king, not long after succeeding to the throne, can complete the pacification of the war in Shudi, set up a prime minister to integrate the monarchy, pull out Yiyang, and place Sanchuan's grand cause, how can a man with a brain full of muscles can easily do it?

The reason why King Wu of Qin rejected Zhang Yi was not just because he didn't like him during the princely period. Zhang Yi's actions were mostly treacherous and conspiracy, and now, King Wu of Qin felt that the time had come for the Qin people to dominate the world, and if Zhang Yi was relied on to play tricks and tricks, it would not be conducive to the reputation of the Qin State. It's like a Sage of the Ages, if he succeeds, then all his previous intrigues that can't be on the table will be whitewashed. King Wu of Qin felt that the Qin State already had the strength to become the leader of the world, and on this way forward, all kinds of despicable means and strategists used should make way for the dazzling brilliance of the Great Qin Empire.

The Qin Empire must rely on the unity of the army and the people to overcome the strong enemy to develop, rather than relying on three or two strategists to play word games and treachery to make profits. King Wu of Qin wanted a Great Qin State without any stain, not a Great Qin State that was secretly insulted by all forces as a traitorous and treacherous state even if he ruled the world.

Zhang Yi's actions, all the means of conspiracy, are indeed treacherous and dark, he repeatedly took advantage of the weaknesses in the human nature of all forces, and sought various benefits for the Great Qin State piecemeal, and the means of this are not very bright after all, although this is what the country needs. Now King Wu of Qin feels that several generations of Qin people have fought and fought for it, and they are already about to achieve this grand goal, and moreover, the Qin State already has such a powerful strength!

However, King Wu of Qin was wrong, the bright result he wanted did not necessarily need the means of light. Therefore, although the Qin State is strong, it is far from reaching the level he imagined, and the Qin Empire still needs those dark and cunning tricks and methods, and still needs sophistry talents like Zhang Yi to stir up the storm.

As a result, the heavy dream of several generations of the Great Qin Kingdom has become the most fundamental reason for King Qin Wu to drive Zhang Yi and defend the dignity and glorious image of the country.

Zhang Yi gained power when King Huiwen of Qin expanded, and lost power after King Wu of Qin ascended the throne. It's not that there is something wrong with Zhang Yi himself, but that the incumbent himself has changed his understanding of the situation and the future, and there will always be only eternal interests, but no eternal loyalty. Even if Zhang Yi made outstanding and even shocking contributions to the Qin State, it was not worth mentioning in front of the complete system of the entire country. There was nothing wrong with King Qin Wu driving Zhang Yi away, because a glorious and magnificent empire needed an equally glorious and majestic aura. The only mistake to drive Zhang Yi away was to choose the wrong time.

What King Wu of Qin hated was not Zhang Yi, but his great power bearing. Intrigue is an important part of a dynasty's foundational work, but it is buried deep in the bottom of the grand edifice of empire. To stir up the storm, we should rely on the sword and strength to move the world, and we want glory and dignity. However, when the sword and strength are insufficient, they have to rely on intrigue and power, and when the brilliance and dignity lack support, they should continue to forbear. Continue to bear the name of treachery, so that future generations can stand in the sun.

Zhang Yi's success in the Qin State stems from the fact that it is in line with the interests of the country, and at the same time he has enough talent, and Zhang Yi's expulsion in the Qin State is also in the interests of the country, but this benefit is not the way that the speaker thinks can be obtained.

When the light comes, the darkness of the past will quietly fade away, hidden in a corner that people can't see, setting off the beauty of the light.
