Time passed by, and Su Qin began to feel uncomfortable. Because the State of Yan is no longer the State of Yan before. The main reason is that King Hui of Qin married his daughter to the crown prince of Yan State, and the crown prince of Yan State was young and ignorant. After marrying the daughter of Qin people, the trajectory of the rest of his life was already under the control of Qin State. At present, it seems that once the Marquis of Yan Wen, who favored Su Qin, gives up and returns to the west, and the prince takes the throne, Su Qin will definitely have no place to stand.
The house leaked and it rained all night. Prince Yan had just married the princess of Qin, and Marquis Yan Wen died in the same year. Prince Yan ascended the throne and was known as King Yan Yi. The leaking ship was the first to take the lead. At this time, the Qi State took advantage of the mourning opportunity of the Yan State to launch a massive invasion and captured 10 cities of the Yan State in one fell swoop.
After being invaded by Qi, King Yi of Yan saw that the situation was getting out of control, and he was quite dissatisfied with Su Qin. He said: Marquis Wen of Yan helped Su Qin lobby for unity, even though the six countries were united, but now Qi has evil intentions and wants to defeat Zhao. The country invaded Yan again. Obviously, the theory of cooperation is just a joke and has no effect.
King Yan Yi had only one purpose in speaking, and he asked Su Qin if there was any way to regain the lost territory. In fact, King Yi of Yan openly married the princess of Qin, which clearly violated the alliance alliance. When the country was in trouble, King Yan Yi did not reflect on himself first, but blamed others. He was indeed not a wise king or wise ruler.
These words made Su Qin the chief culprit of Yan's invasion. Su Qin was very ashamed after hearing this, so he agreed to send an envoy to Qi to recover the lost territory for Yan.
As soon as he arrived in Qi State, Su Qin paid a visit to the King of Qi. When meeting the King of Qi, Su Qin bent down very low and bowed twice in succession to express his congratulations. After celebrating, Su Qin raised his head high, expressing his deep condolences to King Qi. His behavior was so strange that King Qi was startled and asked Su Qin what trick he was playing. You know, the purpose of Su Qin's mission to Yan State this time was obviously to regain Yan State's lost territory. But Su Qin didn't speak, but only expressed it with body language. King Qi certainly knew the superficial meaning of all Su Qin's actions, but he did not understand the deeper meaning.
The other party didn't understand, so Su Qin could only say it clearly. Su Qin said that even people who are about to die from hunger will never eat poisonous plants like Aconitum to satisfy their hunger, because death from poison is faster than death from starvation. Although the State of Yan is weak, King Yi of Yan is the son-in-law of the State of Qin, and others dare not offend him. The State of Qi invaded and occupied 10 cities of the State of Yan. On the surface, it took advantage of the situation, but in fact it formed a grudge against the powerful Qin. Su Qin meant that Qi's invasion of Yan's cities was like eating aconite, a poisonous plant, to satisfy hunger. It was harmful but useless.
King Qi was shocked when he heard this. At this time, Su Qin promised that as long as Qi State returns the city of Yan State, the disaster can be resolved. Because after the Yan State takes back the city, it will definitely wipe out the old grievances happily. When the Qin State hears about it, it will think that the Qi State returns the lost land of the Yan State because it is afraid of its power, and will not care about Qi State’s treatment of the Yan State. harm.
Su Qin even said that after Qi returned Yan's lost territory, the friendship between Qi and Yan would be unbreakable, and Qin would be very grateful. Both Yan and Qin will come to serve Qi. When the King of Qi spoke, Yan and Qin did not dare not listen.
King Qi felt so excited that he returned the 10 cities of Yan State with both hands. The city that the soldiers robbed with their blood and lives was deceived by Su Qin in just a few words.
The 10 cities that they had worked so hard to conquer were returned, and the courtiers of Qi were filled with resentment. Everyone told King Qi that Su Qin was a villain who betrayed the country, wavered around, and was capricious. If Su Qin is left behind, it will definitely bring disaster to the country.
Hearing that the villain was slandering and slandering him, Su Qin quickly fled to Yan State.
Since the collapse of the alliance, Su Qin has been living a life on the run, running from Zhao to Yan, from Yan to Qi, and from Qi back to Yan. If Yan State does not accept Su Qin, Su Qin will really be homeless.
But the fact is that when Su Qin entered Yan, King Yi of Yan refused to accept it and even deprived him of his official position.
Without spending a single soldier, Su Qin recovered 10 lost cities for Yan State, so he should be rewarded. There is only one reason for this ending - being slandered.
Being able to speak eloquently was Su Qin's advantage, but now it became his fatal flaw. Because those who slandered him used this as evidence to tell King Yan Yi that Su Qin was talking nonsense and had no loyalty or loyalty.
Suffering slander, Su Qin frankly admitted that he was not a loyal person. However, Su Qin also said that his disloyalty was the blessing of Yan State. After hearing this, King Yan Yi was very puzzled. Kings all hope that their ministers will be loyal, but Su Qin openly disagreed.
At this time, Su Qin asked King Yi of Yan, what would happen to the Yan State if Zeng Shen, Boyi and Wei Shuo served the Yan State together?
Zeng Shen was the most filial son in the world, and he never left his parents for a night to fulfill his filial piety; Boyi was pure and self-respecting, unwilling to be the heir of Guzhu Lord and did not accept the Zhou Dynasty's reward, and eventually starved to death in Shouyang Mountain; in the end, he was an honest man. , on a date with a woman, but when the time came, she still didn’t come. He firmly believed that we would see each other, no matter how the tide rose, he hugged the bridge pillar tightly and waited, and was eventually drowned.
Zeng Shen, Boyi and Weiwei have become the embodiment of filial piety, loyalty and trust, and the king loves these people very much. If there were such people serving him, King Yan Yi would certainly not be happy enough. However, Su Qin told King Yan Yi that although such people have noble conduct, they are not beneficial to the country.
Because, if Su Qin was as filial as Zeng Shen, he would not have abandoned his old mother and traveled thousands of miles to assist the Yan State; if Su Qin was as foolish and loyal as Boyi, he would not have gone to the Qi State for a few cities of the Yan State; If Su Qin sticks to his faith like at the end, he will not deceive King Qi.
Then Su Qin incorporated the principle into a short story:
There was a man who was an official in a distant place, and his wife committed adultery with someone else out of loneliness. When the husband was about to return, the adulterer and the adulteress were frightened, so the adulteress told the adulterer that she was going to poison her husband to death. When her husband came back, the adulteress asked her concubine to bring him poisoned wine to drink.
The concubine was kind-hearted and wanted the best of both worlds. She neither wanted to poison her husband nor cause the adulteress to be kicked out of the house, so she pretended to fall and broke the wine glass. The husband was furious and beat his concubine fifty times.
Su Qin wanted to use this little story to illustrate that he was just like the concubine, who was loyal only to get the best of both worlds, but was severely beaten. King Yi of Yan was finally convinced by Su Qin and resumed his official position.
Revenge yourself after death
Unfortunate people face the cruelty of life, while lucky people face the difficulty of life. Su Qin is both lucky and unfortunate, so his life is both cruel and difficult.
Fortunately, Su Qin is a person who is not afraid of difficulties. He dares to speak and act for his ideals.
He can lead to thorns in the buttocks, he can remain confident despite repeated setbacks and being ignored by others, he can calmly accept the seal of the six countries, and spread wealth everywhere...
Although Su Qin's legs and feet are not flexible, it does not damage his masculinity. Although he is not a beautiful woman, he is still charming. It is said that the first lady of the Yan Kingdom could not resist Su Qin's charm and had an affair with Su Qin.
After the death of Marquis Wen of Yan, the affair between the first lady of Yan and Su Qin was known to King Yi of Yan. Of course, this matter may also be a malicious slander by someone who is jealous of Su Qin's power. Just like when Qin Xiaogong died, others framed Shang Yang.
After discovering the affair, King Yan Yi did not immediately punish Su Qin, but treated him more favorably. This made Su Qin very afraid, so he asked to be sent as an envoy to Qi.
Su Qin's argument was that if he stayed in Yan State, he would be a useless person and would be of no benefit to the country. If he joins Qi and carries out sabotage activities in Qi, it will greatly benefit Yan.
The Qi State once undermined the great cause of unification, and Su Qin hated it deeply; the Qi State continued to invade the Yan State, and the King of Yi of Yan had no good impression of the Qi State. Su Qin and King Yan Yi both resented him, so they decided to stop Qi in its tracks.
Since he was sneaking into Qi State to carry out sabotage activities, Su Qin first pretended to offend Yan State. King Yi of Yan ordered a hunt, and Su Qin took the opportunity to escape to Qi.
When Su Qin entered Qi, King Xuan of Qi was very happy and appointed Su Qin as his guest minister. The identity of Ke Qing is equivalent to a military advisor in the army and a think tank in the government. This shows that King Qi Xuan valued Su Qin very much.
After entering Qi State, Su Qin came up with many bad ideas and crooked ideas, which caused Qi State's national reputation to plummet. However, King Xuan of Qi relied heavily on Su Qin, believed in Su Qin's words, and did not listen to the advice of his courtiers. The courtiers of Qi State directed their anger at Su Qin, regarding Su Qin as a thorn in their side.
After the death of King Qi Xuan, King Qi Min succeeded to the throne.
Su Qin's enemy was the State of Qi, not the king of Qi, so even though the State of Qi changed hands, Su Qin's sabotage work continued. Su Qin told King Qi Min that he had just inherited the throne and should do something big to show his status as a king. For example, make the funeral of King Xuan of Qi as extravagant and grand as possible to attract the attention of other countries and people. If a grand funeral cannot attract international attention, then a large-scale construction project will be carried out, occupying the cultivated land of the people, and building the palace as high and glorious as possible.
Over the years, Su Qin devoted himself to carrying out sabotage work, using two methods: first, to undermine Qi's international relations and let other countries attack Qi; second, to arouse the resentment of the people in Qi, causing the people to revolt and overthrow the king of Qi.
King Xuan of Qi trusted Su Qin very much and walked on the downhill road guided by Su Qin in a daze; King Min of Qi had no political experience and walked on the wrong path led by Su Qin in a daze.
Just when the State of Qi was about to be destroyed by Su Qin, King Yan Yi suddenly died and his son Yan Kuai succeeded to the throne. Su Qin was actually a spy for the Yan State, but Yan Kuai didn't know about it. I don’t know whether King Yi of Yan did not clearly explain the nature of Su Qin’s work or for other reasons. In short, Yan Guo suspected Su Qin.
Qi State had a new king, and Yan State also had a new king. Su Qin's work became increasingly uncomfortable. It was very difficult to deal with the monarch alone, and Su Qin had to be distracted by the siege of other courtiers.
The court officials of Yan and Qi gathered together to besiege Su Qin. After several battles, they finally found Su Qin's weak point.
Su Qin was in the State of Qi, and the assassination was carried out by the courtiers of the State of Qi. The officials of Qi State did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire a courageous soldier to assassinate Su Qin. Su Qin was a political strategist, not a Legalist, and his vigilance was not as high as that of Shang Yang. When Shang Yang went out, his entourage was fully armed, and the number of people protecting him was no less than a thousand, in order to prevent assassination.
Su Qin was seriously injured in the pursuit of the killer, and even though he managed to escape, he was still dying.
Throughout Su Qin's life, it seems that the power of revenge is supporting him. Rejected by the State of Qin and treated with cold eyes by his family, Su Qin was determined to take revenge, so he provoked a thorn in the side and advocated a vertical alliance. The Qi State betrayed the alliance and ruined Su Qin's great cause of vertical alliance. Su Qin lived in a painful and destructive life for the rest of his life.
An important minister was assassinated, and King Qi Min sent out his army to seal off the entire city and try his best to capture the assassin. However, someone came to help the assassin, but King Qi Min's efforts were in vain.
Before his death, Su Qin told King Qi Min that as long as he was cut into pieces in a busy city and told to the world that Su Qin was engaged in sabotage activities for the Yan State in Qi State, the killer would show up automatically.
It was cruel to dismember the body by five horses, but this was Su Qin's only last wish, so King Qi Min had no choice but to agree. Besides, if you tell the world that Su Qin is engaged in sabotage activities for Yan State in Qi State, the killer will appear automatically, and King Qi Min also wants to find out the secret.
In the busy city, Su Qin was cut into pieces by five horses. At the cruel moment when Su Qin was torn into several large pieces, the assassin appeared on his own initiative.
For history, when an assassin appears, his life or death no longer matters, because with his appearance, more important secrets will be made public. That is, Su Qin had bad intentions and engaged in sabotage activities in Qi State for the sake of Yan State, in an attempt to split Qi State and undermine Qi State's national security.
Su Qin was cut into pieces by five horses. When Zhang Yi, who was in Chu State, heard the news, he was both horrified and happy. Zhang Yi was horrified because all powerful people must die a good death. Shang Yang was cut into pieces by five horses, and so was Su Qin. Will he be the next one? Zhang Yi was happy because he could make a big fuss out of Su Qin's sabotage activities.
With a sharp tongue and the disgraceful incident of Su Qin, Zhang Yi believed that the world is a unified world.
Fellow disciples, Su Qin can wear the Six Kingdoms Seal, Zhang Yi also wants to compare with Su Qin. With such lofty ideals, Zhang Yi marched towards the lustful King Huai of Chu.
