Since ancient times, people have been driven by honesty, and a word is more important than gold.
Today's people must be Shang Yang, who can make politics imperative.
Sima Qian wrote in Historical Records and Biography of Shang Jun that Tai Shigong said, "Shang Jun is also despicable. It is not the essence to trace his desire to be filial by the emperor's skill and to hold the theory of floating. What's more, punishing the son of God, bullying Wei Jiangang, and ignoring Zhao Liang's words are enough to discover Shangjun's kindness. I tried to read Shang Jun's gauntlet, which was similar to others' practice. The pawn is notorious in Qin, and he is married! " Later generations also said: "Wei Yang entered Qin, so he refined his sword. You don't have to be king, but you can meet your relatives. Politics must be reformed and rituals must be followed. He bullied General Wei and blamed the Qin people. What's the matter, traveling backwards! "
Zi Zhi Tong Jian said: "A man who believes in his husband is a great treasure for a man. The state is protected by the people and the people are protected by the written language. It is impossible to convince the people, and it is impossible for them to defend the country. Therefore, the king of ancient times did not bully the four seas, the king did not bully his neighbors, the people did not bully for the good of the country, and the relatives did not bully for the good of the family. On the contrary, those bad people bully their neighbors, their people, even their brothers and their fathers and sons. Do not believe, do not believe, centrifuge up and down, and you will lose. What a pity! Harvest can't cure injury, and harvest can't make up for death! In the past, Qi Huangong didn't back the alliance of Cao Mo, Jin Wengong didn't covet the original benefits, Wei Wenhou didn't abandon the dangerous period, and Qin Xiaogong didn't waste the reward of moving wood. The way of these four monarchs is not the quintessence of China, while the Shang monarchs are especially mean, in a world of war and attack. The world tends to deceive, but they still dare not forget to believe in animals and their people. The situation is the governor of the four seas! "
