Chapter 67
Shang Jun, the son of the concubine of the Wei Dynasty, named Yang, surnamed Gongsun, and his ancestor Ben Ji was also surnamed.Martingale Shao likes the study of criminal names, and his uncle Xianggong of Wei is the son of the middle class.The male seat knows his talents, but he has not made it in time.When he was ill, King Hui Hui of Wei went to ask the patient, saying: "Uncle Gong's illness is as irresistible, what will be the land of Nai She?" And listen to it." Wang Heiran.Let the king go, and the people in Zuoping said: "If the king doesn't listen to the martingale, he will kill him and leave the country without order." The king promised to leave.The uncle Zuo called martingale to thank him and said: "Now the king asks if he can be a minister. If I say so, the king's face will not allow me. We are the first emperor and then the ministers, because we say that the king does not use martingale, so I should kill him. The king allows me. You can Let's go, and see the birds." Yang said: "The king can't use the king's words to serve as his ministers, but how can he use the king's words to kill his ministers?" He did not go.After Hui Wang left, he said to the left and right: "Uncle Gong is very sick, so sad, if you want to make the widow listen to Gongsun Martingale with the country, wouldn't it be against you!"

After Uncle Gong died, Gongsun Yang heard that Duke Xiao of Qin had ordered the middle school seekers to repair Miao Gong's career and invaded the land again from the east.Xiaogong saw Wei Yang and talked for a long time. Xiaogong slept all the time, so he couldn't listen.After that, Xiao Gong said angrily to Jingjian: "The son's guest is deceiving people's ears, and he is enough to use evil!" Jing Jian let Wei Yang.Wei Yang said: "I said that the public is the way of the emperor, but his ambition is not enlightened." Five days later, he asked to see Yang again.When Martingale saw Duke Xiao again, he was better and better, but he failed to achieve the purpose.After that, Duke Xiao returned to Jingjian, and Jingjian also gave up martingale.Martingale said: "I said that the Duke used the king's way but did not enter it. Please see Martingale again." Martingale saw Duke Xiao again, who was good at it but did not use it.Let go.Xiao Gong said to Jing Jian, "You are a good guest, and you can talk to me." Yang said: "I said that the public is domineering, and he intends to use it. If you see me again, I will know." Wei Yang saw Xiao Gong again.Public and speech, I don't know that it is before Xi.I can't get tired of speaking for several days.Jing Jian said: "Why do you win my king? My king's joy is so great." Yang said: "I said that the king compares three generations with the way of the emperor, but the king said: 'It's too long, I can't wait. And the wise king, each And his body is famous all over the world, and he can wait for hundreds of years to become an emperor?' Therefore, I use the art of strengthening the country to talk about the king, and the king speaks to the ears. However, it is difficult to compare the virtues of Yin and Zhou."

Xiaogong used Wei Yang to defend the martingale, but he wanted to change the law, fearing that the world would discuss himself.Wei Yang said: "Doubts have no name, and doubts are useless. Moreover, those who have a master's practice will definitely see what is not in the world; those who have the worry of solitary knowledge will definitely see the people. Meng. The people can’t start with worries and succeed with joy. Those who talk about the highest virtue are not in harmony with the vulgar, and those who achieve great success do not seek out the public. Therefore, the sage can strengthen the country without following the law; if he can benefit the people, he does not follow the law Ritual." Duke Xiao said: "Good." Gan Long said: "Otherwise. A sage is not easy to teach the people, and a wise man governs without changing the law. He teaches because of the people, and succeeds without labor. Those who govern by the law, the officials practice and the people are safe. "Wei Yang said: "What the dragon says is what the world says. Ordinary people are content with the old customs, and scholars are addicted to what they have heard. In this way, it is okay for the two to be officials and abide by the law. It is not the same as the law. The three generations are different. The rites are the king, and the five uncles are overlords with different laws. The wise practice the methods, and the fools control them; There is no fault, and there is no evil in following the propriety." Wei Yang said: "If the world is not governed in the same way, the country will not follow the ancients. Therefore, Tang and Wu did not follow the ancients to become kings, and Xia and Yin were not easy to perish with proprieties. Those who rebel against the ancients must be blamed, but those who follow the proprieties are not enough. " Duke Xiao said: "Good." Taking Wei Yang as the head of Zuo Shu, he made an order for reform.

Lingmin is Shiwu, and Xiang Musi sits together.Don't accuse the adulterer of a traitor, cut him in half, accuse the adulterer and behead the enemy, and hide the adulterer and surrender the enemy.If there are two or more males in the people without distinction, they will be given more gifts.Those who have military merits will be awarded the title according to their rate; those who fight privately will be punished according to the severity.Work hard in the industry, and those who have a lot of millet and silk in farming and weaving will recover.Those who are inactive and poor at the end of the matter, think that they will accept their children.The clan cannot be a member unless it has the theory of military merit.The ranks of Ming Zun and Bei Jue are ranked according to the difference between the fields and houses, and the clothes of the courtiers and concubines are named according to the family.Those who are meritorious will show their glory, and those who have no merit will be rich but have nothing to do with prosperity.

The decree has been issued but has not yet been promulgated. Fearing that the people will not believe it, a three-foot-long tree has been erected at the south gate of the city, and ten gold coins will be given to those who can move to the north gate.People blame it, don't dare to move.It was said again that "those who can migrate will be given fifty gold".One person moved there, and he gave fifty gold to show that he would not be deceived.Pawn ordered.

The order was implemented in the period of the Republic of China, and the country of Qin Min said that thousands of people were inconvenient by the initial order.So the prince broke the law.Wei Yang said: "If the law does not work, you will break it yourself."The crown prince, the heir of the emperor, cannot be punished. He punishes his Fu Gongziqian, and tattoos his teacher Gongsun Jia.Tomorrow, all Qin people will follow orders.After ten years of traveling, Qin Minda said that if you don't pick up lost things on the road, there will be no robbers and robbers on the mountain, and there will be enough for the family.The people are brave in public wars and timid in private battles, and the villages and towns are in great order.At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, those who were inconvenient to make orders came to make orders. Wei Yang said, "These are all people who have become chaotic", and they all moved to the border towns.After that, the people dared not discuss orders.

So martingale was built for Daliang.The generals surrounded Wei Anyi and surrendered.After living for three years, he built a palace in Xianyang as the palace of Hebei, and Qin moved to his capital from Yong.And it is forbidden for father, son and brother of the people to live in the same room.And the collection of small townships and townships are gathered into counties, and there are 31 counties with Ling and Cheng.Open fields and seal borders for the fields, and taxation is flat.A flat bucket weighs a foot.After four years of traveling, the young master broke the covenant again, and he resigned.After living for five years, the people of Qin became prosperous and powerful, the emperor sent him to Duke Xiao, and the princes congratulated him.

In the next year, Qi defeated Wei soldiers in Ma Ling, captured its crown prince Shen, and killed general Pang Juan.The next year, Wei Yang said to Xiao Gong: "Qin and Wei are like people who have a stomachache. If Wei does not merge with Qin, Qin will merge with Wei. What? Be good at the benefits of Shandong alone. If you are good, you will invade Qin from the west, and if you are sick, you will take over the land from the east. Today, the country depends on the sage of the king. In the past, Wei was defeated by Qi, and the princes were on the side. Therefore, Wei can be attacked at this time. Wei does not support Qin. , must move to the east. To move to the east, Qin will occupy the solidity of the rivers and mountains, and Dongxiang will control the princes.Wei envoys the young master Ang to attack him.Since the armies were far apart, Wei Yang left a letter to the son of the general of Wei, saying: "I have been happy with you since the beginning, and now we are generals of two countries. I can't bear to attack each other. I can meet you face to face, make an alliance, enjoy drinking and stop the army, so as to secure the Qin Dynasty. Wei." Young Master Wei took it for granted.After the meeting, drink, and Wei Yang Fu Jiashi attacked the captive Wei Gongzi An, because he attacked his army, he broke it and returned to Qin.The number of Wei Huiwang's soldiers was broken in Qi and Qin, and the country was empty, and the sun was cutting down. Fearing, he sent the land that cut Hexi to Qin Yihe.And Wei Sui went to Anyi and moved his capital to Daliang.King Hui of Liang said: "The widow hates not to use the words of the uncle." After Wei Yang broke Wei, Qin granted him Yu and Shang Shiwuyi, and he was named Shang Jun.

During the ten years of Shang Jun's prime ministership with Qin Dynasty, there were many resentful and hopeful relatives of the clan and nobles.Zhao Liang meets Shang Jun.Shang Jun said: "You can see the martingale from Meng Langao. Is it okay to ask for the martingale today?" Zhao Liang said: "I dare to wish. Confucius said: "Those who promote the virtuous and wear them will enter and gather together. If you are unworthy, the king will retreat.' The servant is unworthy, so he dare not accept orders. The servant heard it and said, "To live in something other than his position is greedy for a position, and to have one without his name is greedy for a name." The servant listens to the king's righteousness, and he is afraid of the servant. Greed for position and fame. That’s why I dare not hear about orders.” Lord Shang said, “Don’t you say that I govern Qin Yu?” Zhao Liang said, “It’s wise to listen to others, wise to see inside, and strong to conquer oneself. Yu Shun said: "Inferiority is still a thing." If you don't follow the way of Yu Shun, you can do nothing to ask your servants." Shang Jun said: "At the beginning of Qin Rong Zhai's teaching, father and son lived in the same room without distinction. Now I control his teaching. , But because of the difference between men and women, build a large tower of Ji, and camp like Lu Wei. You see me governing Qin, who is better than five great officials?" Zhao Liang said: "The skin of a thousand sheep is not as good as the tuck of a fox; The promises of thousands of people are not as good as the erroneousness of one person. The king of Wu will prosper with his eer, and the king of Yin will perish. If the king is not the king of Wu, then the servant will be honest all day long without punishment, is it okay?" Lord Shang said: "Speech has its place. It can be said that it is beautiful, and it can be said that it is true. It is also a medicine that is bitter, and it is also a disease. If the master is willing to speak upright all day long, it is also the medicine of the martingale. The martingale is the son, so why do you say it!" Zhao Liang said: "My husband is a doctor, and I am also a humble man of Jing. Hearing of Qin Mugong's virtuousness, he wished to see him, but he did not have the capital. He made porridge for Qin's guest, and was eaten by brown cattle. The period of time, Miao Gong knew it, and raised it under the mouth of the cow. , and on top of the common people, Qin State dare not look forward to it. In the [-]th year of the Qin Dynasty, he attacked Zheng in the east, set up the king of Jin State three times, and once saved the disaster of Jing State. He issued a feudal title, and the Ba people paid tribute; Shi De The feudal lords, and the Eight Rongs came to serve. Yu Wenzhi, please see the money. Qin Ye, the prime minister of the five officials, does not sit in a car when he is tired, does not open his cover in the summer, travels in the middle of the country, does not ride in a chariot, does not engage in fighting, Fame is hidden in the treasury, and virtue is passed on to future generations. When the five great officials die, the men and women of the state of Qin shed tears, the boys do not sing songs, and the pounders do not pestle each other. This is the virtue of the five great officials. Today, when you see the king of Qin, it is because you are a man Jing Jian thought that he was the master, not because of the name. Prime Minister Qin did not care about the people, but built a large building in Hebei, not because of merit. The master of the prince who punished the prince, maimed the people and punished them with horses, which was a grievance. Teaching to transform the people is deeper than life, and the effect of the people is also faster than orders. Today, the king is left to build foreign affairs, not because of teaching. The king is also called a widow in the south, and he is the noble son of Qin. The poem says: "Xiangshu has Body, people are rude, people are rude, why don't you die.' Viewed from poetry, it is not because of longevity. Gongzi Qiandu has been out of the house for eight years, and the king killed Zhu Huan and tattooed Gongsun Jia. The poem said "Those who win people prosper, and those who lose people collapse." The number of things is not because of people. When the king comes out, there are more than ten chariots behind him, and the armor is carried on the back. But the man who wields the halberd goes by the side of the chariot. This one thing is not possessed, and the king will never come out. The book says: "He who relies on virtue prospers, and he who relies on strength perishes." If the king's danger is exposed in the morning, will he still want to prolong his life? Why not return? Fifteen capitals, irrigate gardens in the basement, and advise the king of Qin to show off the people in the caves, to be old and lonely, to respect fathers and brothers, to order meritorious deeds, to respect and be virtuous, and to be safe. The king will be greedy for business and rich, favor the teachings of the Qin state, and the beasts of the common people. Resentment, once the king of Qin donates the guests and does not establish a dynasty, the reason why the Qin State accepts the king is so small? You can wait for death." Shang Jun obeyed.

In the last five months, Duke Xiao of Qin died and the crown prince was established.The son of the godly disciple told Shang Jun that he wanted to rebel, and sent officials to arrest Shang Jun.Shang Jun died at the pass, and wanted to give up his guest house.The guest didn't know that it was Shang Jun, and said: "Shang Jun's law, those who have no experience with others sit down."The people of Wei blamed him for bullying the young master An and destroying the Wei master.Shang Jun desires other countries.The people of Wei said: "Shang Jun, the thief of Qin. If Qin is strong and the thief enters Wei, he will not return. It is not allowed." So he entered Qin.Shang Jun returned to Qin and left Shangyi, and sent troops from Fayi to attack Zheng in the north.Qin sent troops to attack Shang Jun and killed him in Zheng Yanchi.King Hui of Qin cracked the Shang Jun and said: "There is nothing like Shang Yang's rebellion!" Then he destroyed the Shang Jun's family.

Tai Shigong said: Shang Jun, his talent is mean.It is not the essence of his desire to do Xiaogong to use the emperor's art to hold the false theory.And the reason is that the courtiers can be used, and the punishment of the son is godly, and the Wei generals are deceived, and they don't learn from Zhao Liang's words, which is enough to discover the little kindness of the Shang monarch.Yu Chang read Shang Jun's Kaisai Geng War Book, which is similar to his actions.The death is notorious in Qin, so it is also a husband!
