History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"Wu Qi was born into a wealthy family in Weiguo in the early Warring States Period with "a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars."

"It is said that in order to seek political development, he traveled around looking for opportunities and spent a lot of money. He went bankrupt and did not get an official position. He was ridiculed and slandered by the villagers."

"Wu Qi was so angry about this that he killed more than 30 people who slandered him. Before escaping, he swore to his mother: "If I don't become a minister, I will never return to the defense. ""

"The Warring States Period was a turbulent era. The great powers in the world were chasing the ticket to dominate the Central Plains. As a small country, Weiguo did not have much strength to compete with others. In the face of the reshuffle of the world, although Wu Qi stayed in a corner, he still Wu Qi, who was not satisfied with his status and wanted to escape, went directly to the State of Lu."

"This is what I just said about killing his wife to become a general."

"Wu Qi, who was appointed as a general, is indeed very capable. When Qi attacked Lu, Lu Mugong appointed Wu Qi as a general and defeated the Qi army, which also showed Wu Qi's ability."

"Wu Qi won the battle, which was a good thing, but he was also jealous and suspicious, and the state of Qi spread rumors that Wu Qi was having an affair with the state of Qi. Therefore, Duke Mu of Lu believed the slander, did not trust Wu Qi, and resigned Wu Qi."

"If you ask me, this group of people from Lu State is no different from those from Song Dynasty. Because these people are also afraid of death, they hope to attack Qi State but not too hard. It is best to just drive them away. But in order to show his ability, Wu Qi, He struck too hard and beat Qi Guofang."

"Gradually, the people in power in the Lu State became suspicious of Wu Qi, so they resigned from Wu Qi and refused to grant him official positions."

"Later, Wu Qi's lord Ji Sun was killed for neglecting his guests. Wu Qi completely lost his backer in the Lu State. After being persuaded by others, Wu Qi left the Lu State."

"For a general, he killed his wife, but got such an end. It's really embarrassing."

"Wu Qi, who was not trusted like this, came to Wei again."

"Marquis Wen of Wei used Wu Qi as a general to attack the Qin State and captured the Qin State's land of Xihe, so the Wei State appointed Wu Qi as the local governor of Xihe."

"Wu Qi garrisoned Xihe for 23 years, which prevented Qin soldiers from going eastward and expanding their territory thousands of miles away. However, after Wei Wuhou came to the throne, he was provoked by others and dismissed Wu Qi from his post. Wu Qi had no choice but to leave Wei and come to Chu."

"The Central Plains countries have always looked down on Chu and called it "Jingman". Before and after King Chu Miao of Chu succeeded to the throne, they were always threatened by the emerging Three Jin Dynasties. From 404 BC to 391 BC, Chu was conquered twice by the Three Jin Dynasties. Jin was defeated, and for the second time he sent generous gifts to Qin, so he was able to make peace with Qin's help."

"The old aristocrats in Chu State were both corrupt and tyrannical. In the words of people at the time, "Chu State ministers were too important and had too many monarchs." They "forced the ruler from above and abused the people from below." As a result, the country was poor and the soldiers were weak. , King Chu Mourning, in this situation of internal and external difficulties, wanted to reform and strengthen himself. At this time, Wu Qi came to Chu from Wei."

"King Su of Chu heard that Wu Qi was talented and appointed him as the governor of Yuan District at that time. The economy of Yuan District was relatively developed. It was an important gateway for economic exchanges between Chu State and the Central Plains countries. It was also an important defense area. It was as important as the Xihe area of ​​Wei State. Wu Qi was in Yuan District. It didn't take long and it achieved very good results. The economy developed and border defense was strengthened."

"So King Chu Mourning appointed him as Ling Yin. Ling Yin, an official position in the central government, is similar to the ministers and prime ministers in the Central Plains countries. He directly assists the king and the ministers in handling national affairs." "Wu Qi lived up to the expectations of the public and strictly enforced the laws. We laid off the officials who were not in urgent need, abolished the more distant public clans, and used the money and food saved to support the soldiers."

"The main reason is to strengthen the military and get rid of the pervasive lobbying."

"So, under the leadership of Wu Qi, he pacified Baiyue in the south, annexed Chen and Cai in the north, repelled the expansion of Han, Zhao, and Wei, and conquered Qin in the west. Therefore, all the vassal states were afraid The power of Chu State."

"Although Wu Qi's reforms lasted only a short time, they had a far-reaching impact on Chu State. It should be said that this is a manifestation of Wu Qi's far-reaching influence after his reforms."

"After Wu Qi's reform, Chu State has indeed become stronger. Not only did the three Jin Dynasties that bullied it in the past no longer dare to invade easily, but Chu State also expanded its territory, conquering Qin State in the west, conquering Yang Yue in the south, and annexing Chen State in the north. Cai became a powerful country in the south, but just when Chu was becoming stronger, King Chu Mourning, who actively supported the reform, suddenly died."

"As soon as the backstage of Wu Qi's reform collapsed, the old aristocrats who had been suppressed and suppressed by the reform took the opportunity to launch a coup."

"When Wu Qi was attending the funeral for King Mourning, the rebels surrounded him and shot him with random arrows. Wu Qi couldn't stand it anymore, but he was unwilling to accept the violent counterattack of the old nobles, so he lay on the body of King Mourning."

[Chu's law stipulates: "If anyone hurts the king's corpse, he will be punished with aggravated crimes and the three tribes will be arrested."]
Those old nobles who besieged Wu Qi and shot the king's corpse with arrows, after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, in accordance with the law of Chu, "more than seventy families of the Yizong died." "

"Some nobles such as Yang Chengjun fled abroad. However, Wu Qi's new policy was also abolished, and the old forces of Chu State have risen again, which has seriously hindered the socioeconomic and political development of Chu State. Although Chu State has a vast territory and rich resources, It also failed to become the ultimate force to unify the six countries."

Qin Shihuang: You see, the road is paved, but some people think it is difficult to walk on this road and have to find another way!ridiculous!

Zhu Yuanzhang: Kings of all dynasties will encounter this kind of thing. Not all kings can control it, and not all ministers consider the country!
Zhao Kuangyin: I understand, these civil servants, too many of them care about the small family and not everyone else. Too many civil servants are greedy for life and afraid of death!

Liu Bowen: Not only the Song Dynasty, but too many, even I can’t defend myself!

"Perhaps Wu Qi himself did not expect that the thugs who were eager to kill were not afraid of Wu Qi, but shot Wu Qi with arrows. Wu Qi died as a result, but many swords still hit King Chu Mou."

"The internal politics of Chu State became increasingly corrupt, which resulted in Chu State being repeatedly defeated by Qin in external wars, and its national power gradually weakened. The murder of Wu Qi was also a great tragedy for Chu State."

"Looking back at Wu Qi's life, he was quite talented, but he was never reused because of suspicion. In the state of Lu, he had to kill his wife to gain his trust, so that he could lead the army. In the end, he defected to the state of Wei due to slander by a villain, and won the victory in the state of Wei. Marquis Wen of Wei appreciated him and made him an official, but because of this, after Marquis Wei Wen died of illness, his outstanding achievements made him jealous of the next king, Marquis Wei Wu. People’s interests are being killed by the emperor’s relatives.”

Qin Shihuang: Those who dare to change the law, those who dare to touch the interests of those in power, their actions are all to make the country stronger. It is ridiculous that they sit in high positions but cannot protect anyone!
