Throughout the ages, stories about Mingjun's visit to Xi 'an have emerged one after another. Zhou Wenwang visited Jiang Taigong by the Wei River, and Liu Wangshu visited Zhuge Liang. With the help of the sages, these sages and kings have made great achievements without exception.
However, there was a king in history who bought a good minister from the market with five pieces of black sheepskin. I'm afraid such an anecdote will never happen again in the world. This humble figure is Prissy, a famous politician described by Sima Qian in Historical Records, and the king who bought him off was Qin Mugong.
Prissy, who was born in poverty, traveled around the world with the support of his wife. But because there is no one in the DPRK, he will never be reused. He ran around, ran out of money, was hungry and cold, and had to beg in the street. In trouble, he met like-minded Uncle Jian, and they hit it off and became bosom friends.
On the recommendation of Uncle Jian, Prissy once worked as a doctor in Yuzhou. Unexpectedly, the monarch of the state of Yu was greedy for money, ruled the country badly, and did not listen to the advice of sages, which eventually led to the disaster of national subjugation.
After the fall of the State of Yu, Prissy was taken to the State of Jin as a slave. When she married Qin Mugong, she was forced to marry Muji to the State of Qin, and then fled back to Chu to raise cattle for the King of Chu.
Qin Mugong had already heard of Priscilla's reputation and wanted to recruit him, but he was afraid that the King of Chu would not let him go. So, at the adviser's suggestion, he redeemed Prissy with five pieces of black sheepskin and personally lifted his slave status. Prissy was deeply moved by his kindness and felt that Qin Mugong was a wise monarch. With the help of such a monarch, he will certainly be able to show his ambition and benefit the people all over the world, so he readily accepted the appointment, and from then on, he joined the State of Qin, and eventually became a generation of famous soldiers, which will last forever.
Qin Mugong's wife.
Who is Qin Mugong's wife? What kind of background does she have to be Mu Gong's wife? What did she do during Mu Ming's reign that influenced Qin's national politics?
Mrs. Qin Mugong, a native of the State of Jin, is not an ordinary person from the State of Jin. She is the princess of the State of Jin and the first princess, the eldest daughter of Jin Xiangong. Her younger brother was then the prince of the state of Jin. Having said so many things, she hasn't said her name yet. Her name is muji.
Her life is short, and her marriage with Qin Mugong is actually the origin of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, Mu Gong was not a monarch, and Jim's stepmother was jealous of her beauty and specially married her to Qin. The marriage between Jim and Qin Mugong was peaceful, and she gave birth to her children.
However, after Muji got married, there was a great civil strife in the state of Jin. First, Muji's younger brother, Prince Jin, was wronged by his stepmother and committed suicide to prove his innocence, while Muji's two younger brothers fled Jin overnight for survival because of fear of being implicated. But the ferocity of the father and son made the ministers of Jin shudder, so after careful consideration, they decided to kill the father and son first. Then, he welcomed Muji's younger brother Yiwu back and became the new monarch.
After Yiwu proclaimed himself emperor, he forgot the kindness of Mu Gong, who had helped him, and went to attack the State of Qin. But in the end, Mu Gong was still alive because of 300 warriors. Mu Gong decided to publicly execute Yiwu to save his breath.
At this time, Jim quit, and she thought, as long as I am alive, how can my husband kill his brother? So, she took off her beautiful clothes and knelt down with her children, begging Mu Gong to spare his brother Yiwu's life. Mu Gong's sense of justice was unbearable to his wife's pleading, so he tried in vain to put Yiwu back to the State of Jin. This move is really a woman's compassion, and it is more than a failure.
Qin Mugong asked Jia Min to transport salt.
Jia people are required to carry salt, which is an ancient classical Chinese. Translated into modern and easy-to-understand words, Qin Mugong asked businessmen to transport salt. Then why did Qin Mugong ask businessmen to help him transport salt? Did anything interesting happen in the process of transporting salt? If so, what is it?
Qin Mugong was located in the early Qin Dynasty. At that time, Qin was very weak, looked down upon by other countries, and then arbitrarily oppressed. Qin's topography makes the soil not very fertile, and many agricultural products are planted, but the harvest is very small. Therefore, many daily necessities of Qin people need to be purchased and imported from foreign countries to meet their own needs.
At that time, there was little salt, so Qin Mugong gave the merchants a task to transport some salt to the State of Qin to meet the needs of people's lives. The merchants didn't want to do it themselves, so they offered five sheepskins, and found Priscilla, one in a hundred, and asked Priscilla to complete the task of transporting salt. Finally, Priscilla successfully completed the substitution task.
Qin Mugong personally met with Priscilla, and found that the salt-carrying cow grew well and was not weak at all because of fatigue, so he asked Priscilla how to make the cow grow so well. Prissy expressed her thoughts, because the cow is very hard, so I always find good grass to feed it and let it get enough rest. If he is in danger, I will take good care of him so that he can complete the task well.
Hearing this, Qin Mugong thought for a moment and deeply felt that this was very reasonable. Finally, I invited Priscilla as my teacher and asked him to assist Qin, which achieved good results.
