Qin people finally paid more than 600 Li for "cheating".

When it comes to Chu Huaiwang Xiong Huai, people usually think that he is a "stupid" monarch cheated by Zhang Yi. Because of the powerful influence of Qu Yuan's Li Sao, he is definitely a "bad king is a relative, a distant scholar is a human being". However, if we make a rational analysis, we will find that Chu Huaiwang is actually a "bad king" misunderstood by later generations.

In ancient times, posthumous title always awarded the deceased with higher status. This kind of posthumous title usually has only one or two words, and it is through these two words that later generations judge the merits and demerits of the deceased's life. Posthumous title of Chu Huaiwang is "pregnant", which means he is deeply sympathetic. According to historical records, "Chu was king for three years and died in Qin, and Qin was buried in Chu. Chu people pity them, such as their relatives. Governors are not straight Qin. Qin Chu is absolutely. " . In other words, Chu Huaiwang died in the State of Qin, which returned Chu Huaiwang's body to the State of Chu. The Chu people wept bitterly, just like their loved ones died, and all the princes in the world felt that the matter of Qin was a loss. After the uprising of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiong Xin, the grandson of Chu Huaiwang, was made king, and he is still called "Huai Wang". This is based on the "posthumous title" of "King of Death" and "King of Life", which is unprecedented. Its purpose is to take advantage of Xiong Huai's reputation among Chu people (which is expected).

Imagine that if a simple "bad king" and "stupid vacancy", the Chu people would only wish him to die early. How can they cry as if they were mourning for his dead relatives? Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle uprising will also take the name of a "bad king" as a banner? Aren't you afraid of causing jokes from other governors? The reason why a monarch can be remembered by future generations is not that he simply died pitifully. Many poor monarchs died in history, and a monarch in Jin fell into the toilet and drowned, which is even more pitiful, but can this remind future generations of sympathy? There must be some moral achievements that will be remembered by future generations. It can be seen that this Chu Huaiwang Xiong Huai is a "bad king" misunderstood by later generations, and he also has a "brilliant" side.

According to historical records, in the early years of his accession to the throne, he conquered Yue, took wuyue's hometown and expanded thousands of miles; Attack Wei, break it in Xiangling, get eight cities, move troops to attack Qi, making the king of Qi miserable. The six Shandong countries attacked Qin vertically, which was probably a very long vertical direction. At that time, there was a saying that "the emperor of Qin was horizontal and the king of Chu was vertical". These are all achievements made during Chu Huaiwang's administration. Can you blame Qin for being cheated? Just like today, there are so many telecom frauds, and some people are accidentally cheated. Is it stupid to blame the deceived person? Do you deserve it? Shouldn't we condemn that liar?

It is true that Qin was the ultimate winner among the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period. Sometimes, we take it for granted that Qin's series of means are correct, reasonable and effective, including how Qin cheated. However, when we look at a historical event, we should not only look at a fragment at that time, but also look at its subsequent influence. Zhang Yi was playing with it, saying that the "600-Li land" agreed to be given to Chu was "six-Li land", and he was so angry that he got into a fight with the Qin people and was beaten to death. Later, the State of Qin deceived Chu Huaiwang and forced him to cede territory, which led to his death in the State of Qin. What can it do?

Is there no price for Qin to cheat Chu Huaiwang? Because he died in the state of Qin, "ministers don't go straight to Qin", no one in the world thinks that Qin did the right thing. Later, Qin couldn't even cheat a piece of "He". According to the Records of the Historian, "My king entered the Qin Dynasty and never rebelled. Chu people have pitied me so far, so Chu Nangong said,' Although there are three Chu clans, Qin will be defeated.'" . The three fires of the uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, Chen Guang, Xiang Liang Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, were all Chu people. Xiang Yu's fire in Xianyang, Qin Dou, has long suppressed the resentment against Qin people in the hearts of Chu people! When Chu Huaiwang died in the State of Qin, the Chu people decided to fight the Qin people to the end. The price paid by the Qin people later was rarely worth the original "six hundred miles of commercial land"?

Chu Huaiwang is a gentleman. After he was cheated by Zhang Yi, the relationship between Chu and Qi was cut off. Chu Huaiwang was furious and prepared to attack Qin, so someone told him: "Qin is strong and weak, so it is better to bribe Qin and then fight with Qin, so that you can lose the corner and collect mulberries." . I feel that he took the initiative to cut off Qi, and he is already very sorry for Qi. Now he wants to fight against the people who are "hurt" by himself with the "liar". If he can't do such a thing, he won't listen.

Zhang Yi is a gnashing villain. After the death of King Huiwen of Qin, the ministers of the State of Qin spoke to Qin Wuwang one after another: "If Zhang Yi has no credit and is used to cheating, he will be laughed at by the whole world if he is repeatedly appointed indefinitely." Qin Wuwang has always hated Zhang Yi's behavior, so he kicked Zhang Yi away. King Qi Min even threatened, "As long as any country dares to accept Zhang Yi, it will attack any country." . Zhang Yi was hated by the mainstream of society at that time, and he was a veritable "enemy of ten thousand people". Diplomacy has never been a one-shot deal, and the use of "deception" in diplomacy is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

The failure of the six-nation alliance is due to their own ulterior motives and abacus, not Zhang Yi. Su Qin advocated uniting against the Qin Dynasty and matching the six countries to seal each other's titles. As a result, he worked as a spy for Yan State, went undercover to Qi State, and was finally stabbed to death. Therefore, even without Zhang Yi, it is difficult to achieve a successful alliance, and the six countries can survive for many years, perhaps because Zhang Yi has a credit for running back and forth. Therefore, Qin's deception of Chu Huaiwang was not only debatable at that time, but also should not be regarded as a standard by some people today. Irresponsible, reneging can take a break!
