Chapter 303: Seven Kingdoms! (Medium)

Ji Heng didn't sigh much and continued: "As for the fall of the Wei State, in fact, there is no secret, and there is no accident, let alone any accident. ”

"Those who slow down the virtuous and forget the soldiers, the country of heaven and death is also!"

"As far as I have heard, the so-called dead of heaven are virtuous and do not use them, if they are used, how can they die! So that the three benevolences are used, Zhou can't be the king, and the Qin tiger is a wolf! ”

"Wei from the founding of Wei Wenhou to the demise of Wei fake, Wei has gone through eight generations of monarchs, a total of one hundred and seventy-eight years, in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the great power of the past two hundred years has only experienced eight generations of monarchs, and it is already the most stable country in the world, even Qin and Qi can not be compared, and the average reign of the monarch of Wei is more than 22 years, if you exclude the three years of the last monarch Wei fake, the average reign of the remaining seven generations of monarchs of Wei has reached an exaggerated more than 25 years."

"In an era of fierce competition like the Warring States, it is really rare for Wei to continue such a stable inheritance."

"But even such a politically stable Wei State, compared with other countries with frequent succession of monarchies and political turmoil, still cannot escape the disaster of destruction."

"The reason is simple."

"In the early Warring States period, Wei took the lead in changing the law."

"Wei Wenhou appointed the current Legalist scholar Li Kui, the first time in the world to officially implement the change of the land system as the axis, as for the content of the change, you should know something in recent years, I will not say more, Li Kui changed the law, the beginning of the most Warring States change, for the world of the great controversy is undoubtedly the first thunder, but also since then opened the prelude to the great controversy."

"And the reason why Wei was able to rise rapidly was not only because of the active change of the law, but also because of the urgency of the virtuous."

"As far as I know, during the reform of Wei Wenhou, Wei appointed a large number of emerging scholars from humble backgrounds at that time with real talents and learning."

"This is the so-called anxious and virtuous person."

"In the world of Wenhou, the stars of the Wei State destroyed the civil and military forces, and there were only talented people in the historical books, such as Li Kui, Le Yang, Wu Qi, Ximen Leopard, Zhao Cangtang; Confucian celebrities Bu Zixia, Tian Zifang, Duan Ganmu, etc., as well as the original Wei government and opposition ministers, Qu Huang, Wei Chengzi and others. ”

"In the early days of the Wei Kingdom, in just a few decades, there were four big politicians in one fell swoop, such as Li Kui, Le Yang, Wu Qi, and Ximen Leopard, which can be called a dream when looking at the entire Warring States."

"Because of this, the reputation of Wei Guo's anxious and virtuous relatives has spread far and wide."

"Even when the Qin State wanted to attack the Wei State, it was dissuaded by its own courtiers, and the reason for the admonition was even more concise: 'The sages of Wei County are courteous, the people of the country are benevolent, and the upper and lower are harmonious, and it is not possible!' ”

"However, the Wei State, which has so many capable people, was like a flash in the pan during the Warring States Period, and it quickly declined."

"And the vigorous political tradition created by Wei Wenhou was directly deformed during the second generation of Wei Wuhou, and it was also from this time that the Wei State no longer actively changed the law, and the Wei State, which was originally in full swing to change the law, suddenly came to an abrupt end."

"In addition."

"The strong atmosphere of being anxious and virtuous pioneered by Wei Wenhou gradually faded into an aristocratic superficial article in the past few decades."

"That is to say, the road of the two great powers pioneered by Wei Wenhou, one is to change the law, and the other is to be anxious and virtuous, but they have not been continued to advance in the follow-up of the Wei State, and in the end, the Wei State has also declined."

"In the second generation of the monarch of the Wei State, the Marquis of Wei, the Wei State no longer has the grandeur of the previous monarch, and the people, things and things have been completely reduced to personal preferences as the yardstick, and from the past enterprising, to the conservative mentality of not wanting to change the government, and even the Marquis of Wei Wuhou also directly said, 'The map of mountains and rivers is beautiful, and the treasure of the Wei State is also'."

At first glance, this statement does not seem to be a problem.

"But at the time, it had a different meaning."

"Because the Wei State has established itself since the beginning of the country, it only regards talents as 'national treasures', this is the first time that the monarch of Wei has regarded things other than talents as 'national treasures', Wu Qi noticed it, and immediately opened his mouth to correct it, so there are those words that we are familiar with'The solidity of the state is not in danger in Germany. If you don't cultivate virtue, the people in the boat will be enemies! ’”

"It's a pity that Wei Wuhou doesn't think so."

"Later, the nobles of Wei State came back, controlled the court, and designed to drive Wu Qi away, from this time on, Wei State has no open mind to include talents, and there is no frank and sincere personality charm of condensing talents, coupled with the way of internal friction and power in Wei State is gradually opened, the fairness and openness of the temple style is not as good as before, and the fly camp dog Gou came to the stage, and Wei State has begun to lose a large number of talents since then."

"Wu Qi is the first great talent to be squeezed out of the Wei State."

"But not the last."

"During the Warring States Period, the Wei State was the first to open up a civilized atmosphere, and people of insight took it as a glory and a necessity to study and travel in the Wei State."

"Wei's Anyi, Daliang, has become the world's most concentrated talent in the holy land, few celebrities do not study in Wei and can broaden their horizons, for this reason if Wei wants to search for talents, it can be said that it is unique, but throughout the middle and late Wei State, Wei State did not retain a talent."

"Shang Ying, Wei Ren, was a minor official of the Wei State, Sun Bin, although he was a Qi person, he entered Wei early; Le Yi, a Wei person, is also a famous scholar of Wei After Le Yang, Zhang Yi Wei people, so many talents, but no one was appreciated by the Wei monarch, which shows the darkness of Wei politics. ”

"If you add the previous Wu Qi, the subsequent Fan Ju, Wei Yuzi, and countless various scholars who served as officials in the Qin State and other countries, it can be said that the Wei State is a breeding ground for politicians, scholars, and various experts in the world, and among all the lost talents, the most eye-catching is Shang Ying."

"Before Shang Ying entered Qin, his original ambition was to realize his ambitions in Wei, and he was recommended by Wei Cheng's uncle three or four times, but King Wei Hui was never moved, and he didn't even have the interest to kill Shang Ying, so he was numb to this, so what could he do?"

"Since then, the Wei State has completely formed a wind of outer width and internal taboo."

"The future generations are even more intense."

"In the end, the Wei talents will be expelled."

"For Wei's 'wide outside and taboo inside', in my opinion, there are five main appearances."

said.

Ji Heng suddenly looked at Fusu.

Fusu's heart sank, when he heard this, how could he not know that Ji Heng was not talking about the Six Kingdoms, but the current situation of Great Qin, the evil wind of Han and Zhao in front, why not in Great Qin now? Ji Heng is deliberately using the death of the Six Kingdoms to remind himself and wake himself up.

Fusu bowed slightly.

Ji Heng nodded and said lightly: "First, make a big article on respecting the virtuous, and the name of respecting the virtuous spreads all over the world." ”

"Second, there is a great deal of respect for celebrities and celebrities who are well-known but whose political views are obviously out of line, but they are also very respectful."

"Third, he has great respect for the ability and talent of famous ministers who have become pillars of other countries, and whenever possible, he will be hired as the part-time prime minister of his own country, but in fact he is a foreign minister who assists diplomatic relations and is not involved in internal affairs."

"Fourth, we turn a blind eye to potential talents who have not yet become famous, and never search for talents among the cloth clothes."

"Fifth, for the talents that have emerged in the royal family that cannot be squeezed out, I am extremely afraid of them, and I would rather put them on the shelf."

"All the performances of the Wei State towards talents, do not come out of these five styles, even if there is a talent like Xinling Jun in the later period, but still unwilling to reuse, at this time, the Wei State has completely fallen into the extreme of depression, and the destruction of the Wei State is only a matter of time."

"The disguised exclusion of Wu Qi, the blind eye to Shang Ying, the blatant contempt for Zhang Yi, the jealousy and torture of Fan Ju, the cruel persecution of Sun Bin, the ignorance of Wei Yizi, and the laissez-faire departure of Le Yi and other famous generals Looking back on the history of the employment of the Wei State, it is almost a terrible mistake repeated, and its political soil is so bad, and its hypocrisy is deeply rooted, which is really jaw-dropping."

"Today, if you lose your talent, you will lose your country!!"

"And the most thorough view of talent and the rise and fall of the country is the Mo family."

"The Mohists have three basic points for talents."

"The first is 'the pro-soldier anxious'."

"Mozi Relatives" cloud: If you enter the country but do not have a soldier, the country will die! If you see the virtuous and not in a hurry, you will slow it down! There is no urgency for non-virtuous people, and there is no concern for the country. Slow and forgetful, and can survive with its country, there has never been! ”

"The second is 'the virtuous and the virtuous nation.'" ”

"Mozi Shang Xianshang" cloud: If the country has a large number of virtuous people, the country's governance is thick, and if there are few virtuous people, the country's governance is weak. Therefore, the business of adults lies only in the sages. ”

"The third is 'Shang Xian is the foundation of government'."

"Mozi Shangxian Middle and Lower" cloud: Shangxian is the foundation of politics. How can knowing Shangxian be the foundation of government? The sage is the government, then the hungry get food, the cold get clothes, the chaos can be governed, this is a good life! ”

"The Wei State uses the way of hypocrisy and sage, plugging the eyes and ears of the world, and the country of sincerity and death!"

Listening to Ji Heng's views on talents, Fusu's back was already soaked.

He felt that what Ji Heng was talking about was Daqin, Daqin has indeed respected the virtuous over the years, but it is only a verbal respect for the virtuous, and he will not be given a heavy responsibility, and since the Great Qin has dominated the world, there is a sense of arrogance and arrogance from top to bottom, thinking that all talents in the world are Qin people, and they will take the initiative to serve, why do they search from the cloth as in the past?

Moreover, the use of talents in Great Qin is mostly limited to the children of meritorious heroes, or the children of the Qin people, and it is rare to really reuse the people of the Six Places.

Because the imperial court has always been wary.

And isn't this the 'outer width and internal taboo' of the Wei State back then?

If you lose your talent, you will lose your country.

If a large number of scholars are unable to display their ambitions, then the so-called Qin people may become what Wu Qi said, 'The people in the boat are all enemy countries'.

Come to think of this.

Fusu couldn't help but sweat coldly.

He already understood why Ji Heng let himself go to the book to issue a merit-seeking order.

The purpose is to recruit talents as much as possible and avoid the loss of talents from all over the world, so that Daqin can avoid falling into the absurd situation of the Wei State.

Fusu took a deep breath.

His face had become very serious.

Don't dare to have any luck and contempt.

Yesterday's Zhao Weihan is not today's Great Qin.

Ji Heng sighed lightly and said with emotion: "The death of Zhao Wei Han of the Three Jin Dynasty is the beginning of the collapse of the gorgeous and magnificent Central Plains civilization in the past. ”

"But it's all about it."

"The framework on which the political civilization of the Three Jin Dynasty depends is actually completely unsuitable for the world, and the reform of the three families, there are obvious defects, this defect is actually the same, that is, the reform is not complete, there is no continuity, and there is no follow-up, the national situation does not have a strong force to inspire the society, although it can be strong for a while because of the change, but under the torrent of history, it is destined to be bombarded fragments."

"In fact, the same is true of the Qin State."

"Before Qin Xiangong, the frequency of mutinies within the Qin State was no less than that of the Zhao State, the exclusion of talents was not inferior to that of the Wei State, the short-sightedness of political views, the frequent internal strife, and the same was not weaker than that of South Korea, and in such a difficult and complex situation, the birth of the Shang Dynasty Reform Law completely reversed the situation."

"Under the deterrence of heavy punishment and the reward of the Qin tribe, it finally condensed into a force that shocked the world."

"It's just that in the past ten years since the founding of Great Qin, Great Qin has fallen into such a situation again."

"And that's what it means to change the law."

Fusu respectfully saluted Ji Heng and said in a deep voice: "Fusu has been taught, Fusu has written down Mr.'s words, and when I go back, I will reflect on what I am doing now." ”

on this.

Ji Heng sighed and shook his head.

He didn't say anything about Fusudo, and continued to talk about it.

"Next up is Yan."

"Yan Guo actually doesn't have anything to say."

"It's just a tragedy that sticks to the royal tradition."

"Yan is an old nobleman with the blood of the Son of Heaven, who dignified and adheres to distant traditions, and diligently pursues the benevolence of his ancestors."

"Although I tried to make changes, I quickly lost when I went against the tide."

On the one hand, in the contradiction and conflict of political power and the national contest of the way of diplomatic relations, it still pursues the outdated royal tradition, in a vain attempt to continue to calm the increasingly fierce conflict with the great virtue of the royal road, and the entire Warring States and the Yan State are showing the pedantry that is incompatible with the world, as well as a strong wind of pedantic."

"On the other hand."

"In the face of the current situation of changing the internal system and the urgent need to enhance the strength of the country, the change of Yan is actually a last resort, and it has become very limited, and the slightest effect will come to an abrupt end.

Speaking of which.

Ji Heng couldn't help but laugh again and again.

Le Yi attacked Qi that year, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and captured more than 70 cities of Qi, but that's all.

With the strong strength of the Yan Kingdom back then, why couldn't the last two small cities be captured in five years, so that they failed? The reason is also on the royal road.

Le Yi's changes in the Yan State did not touch the royal tradition of the Yan State at all, it can only be said that it is a few items such as recuperation, rectification of the rule of officials, training of the new army, etc., it is true that he has indeed accumulated strength, and he has also shown his prestige in the battle of breaking Qi, but the follow-up of the royal road concept of the Yan State relapsed, and he tried in vain to make the Qi State collapse by besieging the city, and finally ended hastily.

can't help but sigh at the absurdity.
