Different from the political reforms in other countries, the political reforms in Qin, South Korea and Chu were led by the chairman sitting behind the scenes and hired professional managers to preside over the political reforms.
Zhao's change is that the boss stands directly at the front desk to preside over specific affairs. Rule, unity and governance are two different things.
Unity is employing people, and governance is managing specific affairs. Most monarchs with great talents in history can only be unified and cannot rule. For people like Liu Bang, it doesn't matter if they can't fight, as long as they can control Han Xin.
And can put these two words in one rule, the whole history of China, that is, King Wuling of Zhao. However, it was such a great king who lost his life in the sand dunes and was finally in danger. What the hell is the change of sand dunes? Why did you let this Warring States Tianjiao horse slip away?
At the beginning of Zhao Wuling's accession to the throne, Zhao lived in an extremely bad international environment. At that time, Chyi Chin and Chu had just risen, and there was no sign of becoming the world hegemon.
Once the overlord was Wei, one of the Three Jin Dynasties, but Wei lost in the Battle of Maling and the Battle of Guiling, which led to the decline of hegemony and the rise of other countries. Zhao Suhou, the father of King Wuling of Zhao, has been full of anger for a long time. Zhao was originally the strongest vassal state among the three kingdoms, but he was overtaken by Wei. Now that Wei is in decline, it's my turn for Lao Zhao's family to come out and show off.
As a result, Zhao Suhou, the early bird, defeated all the neighboring vassal states, and left many enemies instead of falling behind. As soon as Zhao Su died, he called the five-nation allied forces to mourn Zhao.
King Wuling of Zhao keeps calm in times of crisis. He successfully rebelled against his father-in-law, King Han, through his wife's status as Princess Koryo. Later, he made friends with Song Kangwang, the monarch of the Song Dynasty in the core area of the Central Plains, and the two sides formed a strategic alliance for more than 30 years.
Because these two countries are located in the core of the Central Plains, they can be besieged on all sides, seriously threatening the rear of Wei and Qi, and leading to the disintegration of the five-nation allied forces.
In order to continue to consolidate the relationship with South Korea, King Wuling of Zhao appointed Zhang, the eldest son of a Korean princess, as Prince. This Zhang Gongzi is brave and good at fighting, just like King Wuling of Zhao.
Since ancient times, a generation of male owners like Qin Huang Hanwu have had a trouble, that is, their sons are too weak to like themselves. There are often moths on the issue of heirs, leading to rivers of blood. Compared with them, King Wuling of Zhao is so lucky.
But this king Wuling of Zhao played a good hand on the issue of heirs. After the death of the Korean princess, he fell in love with a woman named Wu Wa. This woman is said to be charming and fascinated him. Later, she gave birth to a son for him, which was later Zhao Haoqi Huiwen.
In 299 BC, Wu Huanghou made a request to King Wuling of Zhao before he died, hoping that his son would be a prince. People are dying. King Wuling of Zhao didn't want his beloved princess to die unsatisfied, so he put all the pressure on himself and abolished the prince who was satisfied with Zhao and had no fault.
Although it caused an uproar, King Wuling of Zhao pushed the matter forward abruptly with his personal authority. You said there was nothing serious so far. Zhao Huiwen can succeed to the throne as long as his son Zhang is imprisoned or simply executed.
Can't, childe chapter lost the relieving of the prince.
But at the same time, two other things happened, namely, the reform of Khufu's riding and shooting and the attack and destruction of Zhongshan State. In fact, there is only one core theme of Khufu's riding and shooting reform, which is to regroup the military power that was originally scattered in the hands of nobles in the hands of the king and reorganize it.
This has seriously damaged the interests of the aristocratic class. On the one hand, under the leadership of King Wuling of Zhao, the national strength of Zhao is booming, and the authority of King Wuling of Zhao is getting deeper and deeper, and the aristocratic class is afraid to speak out.
On the other hand, King Wuling of Zhao did not do anything like Qin Shangyang. Although he moved their guns, he didn't move their wallets. The so-called economic base determines the superstructure. They can tolerate it as long as their land and slaves don't move.
Sun Yat-sen's country is more interesting. His territory is surrounded by Zhao on three sides, which is a great threat to Zhao. Has been acting as a pawn for other countries to balance Zhao.
In order to destroy this country, several generations of kings of Zhao have racked their brains, but each time they failed because of foreign interference. After Khufu succeeded in riding and shooting, King Wuling of Zhao made up his mind to destroy this great enemy.
But as we said before, King Wuling of Zhao is a king who rules as one. Unlike monarchs in other countries, King Wuling of Zhao not only chooses people to formulate the country's strategic policy, but also intervenes in the country's specific administrative affairs. This will greatly involve his energy, and there is no way to concentrate on destroying Zhongshan State.
Zhongshan is not a small country, so we must concentrate on destroying it. Then, an imaginative idea appeared in the mind of King Wuling of Zhao. Let his son take over in advance, hand over the specific administrative affairs of the country to him, and concentrate on leading the army to destroy Zhongshan State.
In view of his son's young age, avoid him being led astray by those nobles. So, he gave him Zhao Huiwen, a confidant minister who helped him preside over Khufu's riding and shooting, as a teacher.
Later, things really developed according to his expectations, and Wang Wuling, who was committed to diplomacy and military affairs. Movement a series of very clever diplomatic and military means. In the absence of a strong rebound from neighboring powers, it actually annexed Zhongshan, a medium-sized power.
You know, the annexation of a medium-sized power can easily trigger a rebound in the international community, because such an act will upset the balance of power in the world. Take Qi State for example. He later annexed the state of Song, and as a result, the five countries were cut together.
However, King Wuling of Zhao soon discovered that the destruction of the enemy Sun Yat-sen greatly increased his prestige in Zhao, but Zhao's power was quickly lost from him. Because he helped his son ascend to the throne prematurely, all domestic factions felt that the identity of the future son of heaven had been determined, and they could safely and boldly bet.
The young king Zhao Huiwen is obviously more promising than the middle-aged king Zhao Wuling. It goes without saying that everyone will take sides.
At this time, Zhao Haoqi Huiwen is still a prince. His status as a prince can't be said to be certain, just like his brother's son Zhang. Maybe something unexpected will happen one day and be abolished for no reason, so everyone dare not take sides.
But after he became a monarch, he completely separated the names of the monarch and his subjects, and settled down, so everyone can rest assured and make bold bets. This is a big pit dug by King Wuling of Zhao for himself. If he let the prince run the country, the situation would be much better than it is now.
King Wuling of Zhao decided to take back power from his son. Before he ascended the throne, his father and son were ruthless, which reminded him of Zi Zhang. Childe Zhang Pingbai was abandoned as a prince, and he was holding his breath. Is there a better knife than this?
Therefore, King Wuling of Zhao proposed a resolution in the court, hoping to divide Zhao into two parts, one for his son and the other for King Huiwen of Zhao. There is no doubt that this absurd resolution was quickly refuted by Zhao.
At that time, the annexation of countries was so fierce that everyone had no time to annex territory. How dare you split the country in half?
But King Wuling of Zhao had no idea that they would pass this resolution. He is the leader of a generation. How could he be stupid enough to split the country in two? He did this, in fact, to give Zhang Gongzi a platform. Now I regret it, and I'm going to help my eldest son. You're going to take sides.
There is also the need to completely provoke the ambition of childe Zhang, so that he can be willing to take the chestnut out of the fire for himself in the future. But king Wuling of Zhao miscalculated one thing, the heart.
He felt that as long as he hinted, he could respond, but now everyone has abandoned the childe chapter and put their chips on Zhao Haoqi Huiwen. Even gambling pays attention to buying and leaving, not to mention inheriting such things from the throne.
If Zhang Gongzi comes back, how to treat them as traitors, from their future to their property, genocide. Think about it, it's a joke. It's like making fun of our lives.
What's more, King Wuling of Zhao wants to regain power, not just because of his greed for power. On the basis of Khufu's riding and shooting, he wanted to make use of the heavenly music and Japanese skills of Guan Zi, a Taoist sage in Chu, to carry out the second round of political reform in the administrative and economic fields, which made the nobles move their hearts directly.
In 295 BC, King Wuling of Zhao made King Huiwen and Gongzizhang follow him to the sand dunes to find the Dragon Cave under the pretext of visiting the mausoleum.
He found this excuse well. It is natural to find a grave for his father. If Zhao Huiwen dares to refuse, it is unfilial. King Wuling of Zhao Can justly abolished him. But if he comes, the son chapter can take the opportunity to launch a rebellion and kill him.
It's a pity that the old man who accompanied him for thirty years sensed the mind of King Wuling of Zhao. When Gongzi Zhang called a meeting of Zhao Haoqi Huiwen in the name of Zhao Haoqi Wuling at the Hongmen banquet, he dissuaded Zhao Haoqi Huiwen and went to inquire alone.
Coward Zhang Gongzi saw that the plot was exposed, launched a rebellion and killed Aunt Fat, while Huiwen escaped under the arrangement of Aunt Fat.
After that, Gongzi Zhang pretended to hold King Wuling of Zhao hostage and continued to pursue him with King Wuling's escort. At this time, the key to winning or losing is the attitude of King Wuling of Zhao himself.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao's field troops are all in his hands, while King Huiwen only has some capital garrison troops and palace guards, which are actually not much different from the childe chapter of King Wuling of Zhao. If he openly supports Zhang Gongzi, then Zhang Gongzi is not a rebel, and all Zhao's troops will stand on his side and help him kill Huiwen.
But in this way, King Wuling of Zhao will inevitably fall under the stigma of killing his son and following his father. King Wuling of Zhao controls the national army and wants to launch an armed coup. It's easy to drag his son down. Isn't it just to avoid this notoriety that we went to great lengths to drag the childe chapter into the water? He is the famous King Wuling of Zhao. How can he be stained?
But he did, which led to a very embarrassing situation for Gongzi Zhang. King Wuling of Zhao has not made a public statement, and has always been branded as a rebel, so Zhao dare not take sides at will.
On the contrary, King Huiwen of Zhao is the rightful monarch of Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao didn't say anything, so he won over the army. Once childe Zhang Can can't win Zhao Huiwen in a short time, Zhao's army will gradually gather in the opposite direction, which will make him more and more unfavorable.
Finally, the situation was even out of the control of King Wuling of Zhao, and the generals stood in a line. Now even if King Wuling of Zhao comes out to make a statement, it's no use. When the nobles saw this opportunity, they simply resorted to all means to send troops to surround the sand dunes and starve King Wuling of Zhao to death.
Poor heroism, it's a dream here.
