Zhang Yi's being punished is widely circulated among the people, which is basically the same as Han Xin's being humiliated by his crotch, and belongs to the frustration and tempering that a great man must have experienced before he succeeds. Interestingly, after worshipping Qin Xiang, Officer Yi Cheung actually wrote a book to Chu Xiang Zhaoyang, who had "taught" himself at the beginning, saying, "At first, if I drink, I won't steal, but if I cheat. If you keep your country well, I will take care of it and steal your city. "

It means: At first, I followed you, and you accused me of stealing jade, but now you should guard your city and I will steal your city. So openly provocative, it can be seen that as a literati, Zhang Yi is also very bitter.
In fact, Zhaoyang's loss of jade was originally an accident. When the banquet was drunk and carried away, it was not surprising to show off the precious jade given by the King of Chu. There were so many people, and it was impossible to find it for a while. However, he looked at Zhang Yi, who was poor and humble at that time, with colored glasses. He thought that poor people must have low character, covet valuables, and indiscriminately arrest others and torture them, in an attempt to extort a confession, which almost caused death. No wonder Zhang Yi was angry. On the other hand, it also reflects that the scholar-bureaucrat class at that time was arrogant, full of superiority, and looked down on the basic facts of the poor people in cloth and clothes at the bottom. Therefore, Chu was defeated by Zhang Yi's lies and deception, which can be said that there was an antecedent.
flogging in public is an accident. Fortunately, however, after all, this bitter experience made Zhang Yi clearly realize that Chu appointed such an arrogant and rude person. It can be seen that the king of Chu is not a wise king and is not worthy of serving himself. If he wants to get ahead, he must vote for another master. As long as his eloquent tongue is still there, he will definitely have a chance to turn over in troubled times.
Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Yi was appreciated by King Hui of Qin, and finally she was able to show her ambition on the political stage and avenge herself by the way. Zhang Yi accused Mencius, a Confucian master of the generation
, of being full of knowledge and having the reputation of "great talent and eloquence, there is no match in the world", while Zhang Yi, the prime minister of Qin Dynasty in the Warring States Period, was called "the best mouth in the world" because he was born with a golden tongue. As if it were destined, there were many arguments between the two famous scholars in the academic and political fields, and the intensity of the angry words was no less than the strong smoke of modern celebrity Weibo.

Among the many verbal confrontations between the two men, Zhang Yi's sentence "Great Confucianist Falsehood" was the most incisive, which made Mencius, who had always prided himself on being lofty and looked down on strategists, feel ashamed. So far, he never dared to make such ironic remarks as "My concubine is a strategist".
Confucian culture can be called the orthodoxy of Chinese culture. Confucius and Mencius are students all over the world, and all those who study are in awe of these two masters. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a hundred schools of thought contended and all kinds of thoughts and speeches shone brilliantly, it happened that a strategist like Zhang Yi, who was comparable to a modern rebellious youth, turned a deaf ear to the sour literati who appeared to be false and gentle, and pointed at Mencius' "How brazen you are" in full view, and even more plausibly accused the Confucian literati of being pedantic and ignorant, making public and mean, despising all sentient beings in the world, and maintaining rites and denouncing the legal system in everything. In the final analysis, it was just a group of four bodies who were not diligent A burst of laughing and cursing shocked the silence in the hall. At this moment, Mencius was so angry that he was unable to refute this "insulting sven" ridicule in public. In shame and indignation, one mouthful blood gushed out two feet away ...
At the invitation-only banquet in Qi Xuanwang, Mencius was scolded to pieces, and Yi Cheung was probably the first person in history. Concealing my thoughts, I thought that if there was an insurance industry during the Warring States Period, Zhang Yi would definitely throw a lot of money into the insurance for his clever tongue. However, such a glib politician just couldn't get into Qin Wuwang's eyes, and eventually ended up resigning and returning home, and his soul was broken. Zhang yi said that the king of Qin
"Zhang yi said that the king of Qin said" was originally a recorded ancient prose about Qin Huiwang's emphasis on national defense and the prosperity of Qiang Bing, which was included in the Warring States Policy. It is similar to Zhuge Liang's "A Teacher's Table" in Shu, and it is all a memorial document in which a minister wrote to the king to propose a national policy bill. However, it is rumored that the author of this article is not Zhang Yi himself, but Han Feizi, a famous thinker at the end of the Warring States Period.

At present, it is impossible to verify who the original author is.
King Hui of Qin appreciated Zhang Yi, made him a relative, and entrusted him with an important task, which not only became a turning point in Zhang Yi's life, but also brought a fundamental change to the future national luck of Qin State. Zhang Yi's talent lies not only in his rich poetry and eloquence, but also in his correct judgment on the general trend of the world, which is not difficult to see from the original text of Zhang Yi's Talking about Qin Wang Yue.
In the work, Zhang Yi quoted the classics and deeply analyzed the strategic situation of "integration and vertical" of the six countries against Qin Hui-wang. Faced with such a powerful military alliance, Qin Hui-wang had to pay attention to Zhang Yi's military and political views with a strong sense of crisis. In addition, Zhang Yi explained the advantages of various countries in many aspects, such as grain, grass, troops, morale, etc., compared with the current shortcomings of Qin State, and timely put forward the coping strategies that Qin State should adopt, thus further helping Qin Huiwang find the most suitable strategy for governing the country.
Under this far-sighted guiding ideology, Wang Hui of Qin was enlightened. From then on, he put various ideas put forward by Zhang Yi into practice, which made Qin's military power rise rapidly in the late Warring States period, which laid a solid foundation for unifying the six countries. Zhang Yi's famous saying
Zhang Yi, a famous Qin State in the Warring States Period, was not only a politician and diplomat who was good at strategy, but also a philosopher who knew how to behave. His classic sayings are recorded in the annals of history, and they have stood the test of history, which fully shows that even in modern society, Zhang Yi's life motto is still worth learning.

"Feathers accumulate and sink the boat, the group folds the shaft lightly, and all the people win gold, which means that although the feathers are light, they can sink the boat if they gather in large numbers.": Although the goods are light, the axle can be broken if they are loaded too much; The power of public opinion is amazing, even the stone can be melted; There are many slanders, even the kinship will be destroyed. As an idiom, the phrase "many people draw gold" has been passed down to later generations, and it is precisely from the metaphor of this image of Zhang Yi.
This quotation is from the book Warring States Policy written by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty. Wei Ce Yi, through these wonderful metaphors, we can easily see that the success of Zhang Yi's diplomacy lies in his ability to assess the situation and fully understand the psychology of the characters, thus guiding the other side to accept his own suggestions.
According to historical records, Zhang Yi was once appointed as Xiang by Wei Xiangwang. Wei Xiangwang always thought that the king of Qin was ambitious and coveted the territory of six countries, so he was very firm in his position of uniting against Qin. In order to break this stubborn position of Wei, Zhang Yi seized the fledgling moment of his son Ai Wang shortly after Wei Xiangwang's death and lobbied Ai Wang Lian to serve Qin horizontally, thus creating favorable conditions for breaking the military alliance of the six countries and helping Qin to dominate the world.
At first, King Ai of Wei insisted on his father's opinion and rejected Zhang Yi's suggestion. However, Zhang Yi was far-sighted, secretly instigated Qin to attack Wei, and at the same time analyzed the adverse consequences of Wei's insistence on resisting Qin from the fact that Wei was defeated. At last, Wang Ai of Wei, who was timid and had no opinion, accepted his suggestion, thus completely deviating from the agreement of "integration" among the six countries. From then on, Wei bowed to Qin. Zhang Yi Lian Heng
According to the Warring States Policy, Zhang Yi was originally from Anyi, Wei, and his diplomatic strategy in Lian Heng was appreciated by King Hui of Qin, which really achieved good results in the specific implementation process. Therefore, during the reign of King Hui of Qin, Zhang Yi once held a high position as prime minister, mastered the military and political power of Qin, and assisted King Hui of Qin to complete the hegemony of destroying six countries and unifying the world.

About the cause of Zhang Yi's incident in Lian Heng, we should start with Sun Bin's crushing of Wei Jun. Since the defeat of Wei, the national strength has been weakening day by day, while at the same time, the State of Qin has gradually grown and become a threat to the other six countries. When the kings of the six countries were nervous, some politicians advocated that the six countries should form a military alliance and jointly fight against Qin. As a result, a strategic alliance against Qin was formed. Although the state of Qin is strong, it can't be helped for a while.
At this extraordinary moment, Zhang Yi, a counselor of King Hui of Qin, put forward her own Lian Heng strategy, that is, although the six countries have the same will to fight against Qin, they also have many contradictions and suspicions, and they refuse to cooperate with Qi Xin. Therefore, if we want to disintegrate the six-nation alliance, we must make full use of their contradictions, destroy their mutual trust and break up their cooperative relationship. When they are alone, they can break them all. King Hui of Qin adopted Zhang Yi's suggestion and gave him the job to carry out.
Therefore, Zhang Yi can start her own diplomatic strategy, take advantage of the opportunity of visiting other countries, give full play to her eloquent eloquence, confuse Chu Huaiwang first, and successfully achieve the political goal of breaking diplomatic relations between Chu and Qi, and then plot to make the other vassal countries fall to Qin one after another. As a result, Zhang Yi finally succeeded in breaking the "union" of the six countries.
in 221 BC, the army of the Qin dynasty wiped out the remaining resistance forces of the six countries in one fell swoop, and the centuries-long feudal regime era officially ended. China's first unified feudal monarchy dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, was established, which turned a new page in the history of China. Zhang Yi's Wife
Since the TV series "The Vertical and Horizontal of the Great Qin Empire" became popular, Zhang Yi, a generation of Qin Xiang, has always performed on the screen, arousing many curious hearts of the audience. In the play, Zhang Yi met and fell in love with Su Xuan, the innkeeper, and finally got married, which became one of the highlights of this drama's emotional drama. However, whether Su Xuan is recorded in the history books, who is Zhang Yi's wife in real history?

According to legend, Zhang Yi's wife is very famous, but in the historical records about Zhang Yi, there are not many descriptions about her, only once after Zhang Yi was condemned. According to historical records, when Chu Xiang Zhaoyang was traveling with the public, he took out the "Jade of Harmony" given by the King of Chu for everyone to circulate and appreciate. There were a lot of people present, and it was passed around, but Mei-yu was missing. Everyone thought that Zhang Yi, who was poor and poor, had stolen the jade of He, and Zhang Yi insisted that she had not stolen it. Zhaoyang was furious, so he ordered Zhang Yi to be flogged in public and forced to confess. After a flogging, Zhang Yi was beaten to pieces, but she still claimed that she had not stolen the jade of harmony.
Although Zhao Yang was suspicious, he suffered from lack of evidence and was afraid of causing death in public, so he had no choice but to let Zhang Yi go. Zhang Yichang Street was humiliated, and her heart was very wronged. When I got home, my wife complained a lot about her husband's incompetence. Zhang Yi opened her mouth and asked her wife, "Is my tongue still in my mouth?" The wife replied, "The tongue is there." Zhang Zhansui assured that with the tongue, the capital of a prominent official career is there, and there is still a day of success in this life. Sure enough, not long after, Zhang Yi became the staff of King Hui of Qin with his golden tongue, and made great contributions to Qin's destruction of the six countries, unification of the whole country, and great achievements throughout the ages.
