Idiom story

Shang Yang's political reform, first of all, abolished the privileges of the nobility, and stipulated that the nobility should be given again according to the military merit. As a result, the nobles lost the privilege of being paid for nothing and were very dissatisfied with Shang Yang. But Shang Yang had Qin Xiaogong's support. Although the aristocrats had a grudge, they still had nothing to do. After the economic and political reform, the state of Qin soon became strong, its productivity was greatly improved, its national treasury was full, and its soldiers fought bravely, which shocked the six countries. Shangyang was granted the title of emperor Shangjun because of his meritorious service in the reform. In the process of political reform, the prince's teacher violated the law. The nobles and courtiers held an attitude of happiness and misfortune to see how Shang Yang solved this difficult problem. In order to put the new law into effect, Shang Yang asked Xiaogong for instructions and dealt with it justly according to law. The prince once interceded for the teacher, but it didn't help. The prince began to hate Shang Yang to the bone and wanted to get rid of it. Xiaogong died in his 22nd year in office and became the heir of the crown prince. When the nobles knew that King Huiwen hated Shang Yang, they made rumors one after another, and some even framed Shang Yang for rebellion. King Hui Wen was very clear that Shang Yang had no motive for rebellion, let alone the possibility of it. But he was angry for the Revenge of his benefactor (it was said that King Hui Wen wanted to seize power and temporarily paralyze the old clan of Qin State), and ordered the arrest of Shang Yang. After his death, Shang Yang knew that he had lost his support and did not dare to live in the capital for a long time and returned to his fiefdom. When he heard that someone had falsely accused him of treason, he knew that he would be killed sooner or later, so he left home alone and planned to sneak to other countries to avoid disaster. It's getting dark. Jackdaws go back to the forest with the sun on their back. Shang Yang was eager to escape from the Qin Dynasty and hurried to guanxia. He didn't want to be stopped by the soldiers guarding guanxia. He claimed that "Shang Jun has an order. He can't leave the city on business after dusk." Only then did Shang Yang realize that he had to stay in a hotel. He came to a hotel and asked for accommodation. The boss came out and said, "since we are guests, we certainly welcome you. Who are you, please? If I don't know your identity, I will be beheaded. It's a decree of the Shang emperor. You can't go against it. " Of course, Shang Yang didn't dare to admit his identity. He walked out of the hotel and looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm killing myself!" Shang Yang was later killed by a split car. The punishment was very cruel. (in the same year when Qin Xiaogong died, Shang Yang was accused of treason by his son Qian and died in TONGDI. His body was brought back to Xianyang and was split by a car. ）That is to say, five cars were used to bind the head and limbs of the victim with ropes respectively, and then the horses were driven to tear the person into six sections, which was hard to hear. King Huiwen killed Shang Yang, but continued to carry out Shang Yang's policy. The growing strength of the state of Qin laid an economic and military foundation for Zhao Zheng (Qin Shihuang) to unify the six countries. In the same year of Qin Xiaogong's death, Shang Yang was accused of treason by his son Qian and died in TONGDI after defeat. His body was taken back to Xianyang and exposed to the public after being split by a car.
