Fan Ju is a classic case of di si counterattack in history.
When Fan Ju was a guest of Xu Jia in the State of Wei, he once accompanied Xu Jia on an envoy to the State of Qi, and the King of Qi Xiang insulted Xu Jia and the State of Wei, and Fan Ju immediately refuted it, refuting the King of Qi Xiang, both defending the mother country and angering Xu Jia. The King of Qi not only did not get angry but also summoned Fan Ju after the banquet, hoping that he could stay and wanted to reuse him, Fan Ju refused, and the King of Qi respected him, so he sent someone to give him ten pounds of gold and beef and wine and other gifts, and he also righteously refused.
Xu Jia was angry and jealous of Fan Ju in his heart, and later after returning to the State of Wei, Xu Jia not only did not say Fan Ju's merits, but falsely accused him in front of Wei Qi, the chancellor of the State of Wei. Wei Qi was furious when he heard this, so he ordered his ministers to beat Fan Ju with a board and a thorn strip, fan Ju's ribs were broken, his teeth were knocked out, and he was almost beaten to death, when Fan Ju pretended to be dead, Wei Qi sent someone to roll him up with a mat and throw him in the toilet. He also let the guests of the banquet get drunk, and took turns to pee on Fan Ju's body, deliberately insulting him in order to punish a police officer, so that others were not allowed to talk indiscriminately. Fan Ju, who was still alive, said to the guards, "If you let me go, I will thank you heavily in the future." The guards intended to let Fan Ju go, so they asked Wei Qi for instructions and threw away the dead people in the mat. But Wei Qi was very drunk, so he agreed in passing, "Yes." Fan Ju was thus able to escape. Later, Wei Qi regretted throwing Fan Ju away as a dead man, and sent someone to search for Fan Ju. When Zheng Anping, a Wei stateman, heard about this, he fled with Fan Ju, and they hid, and Fan Ju changed his name to Zhang Lu.
Later, Fan Ju came to the Qin Kingdom after traveling, gained the trust of King Qin Zhao, and became a popular figure.
Xu Jia, who had participated in insulting Fan Ju, happened to be an envoy to the State of Qin and suffered from Fan Ju's insults. King Qin Zhao, hearing Fan Ju's story, also promised not to agree to Xu Jia's diplomacy, but did not see it and directly sent him away.
Although Xu Jia was humiliated, the culprit Wei Qi was still living a happy life.
When humiliating Xu Jia, Fan Ju asked Xu Jia to bring a message to the King of Wei: Send Wei Qi's head quickly, or Lao Tzu will destroy your Wei state.
When Wei Qi heard this, he was already frightened and quickly ran to the Zhao Kingdom and hid in the home of Pingyuan Jun, one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States.
Fan Ju was just intimidating, and there was no real action, but King Qin Zhaowang had always remembered this matter, and he must clean up Wei Qi's anger for his prime minister, which was a good leader in China.
King Qin Zhao wrote a letter to Pingyuan Jun, saying: "The widows have heard that you are particularly righteous, admire your personality, and hope that you can come to me and we will make a friend." ”
How dare Pingyuan Jun offend King Qin Zhao? Therefore, he was invited to go to the Qin Kingdom.
At the dinner table, King Qin Zhao said, "Fan Ju is a heavy courtier of the widow. Now Fan Ju's enemy is in your house, you quickly send someone to take his head, otherwise don't blame me for not letting you go. ”
Although he was afraid of the King of Qin, PingYuanjun did not give in at all in this matter: "Wei Qi is my friend, even if he is really in my house, I will not betray him, let alone he is not in my house!" ”
King Qin Zhao, knowing that PingYuanjun was lying, wrote to King Zhao again, saying, "Your younger brother Pingyuanjun is in my hands, and it is very simple to let him go home, send the head of Fan Ju's enemy Wei Qi!" ”
King Zhao was very worried, and immediately sent troops to surround Pingyuan Jun's home and prepare to capture Wei Qi. Wei Qi got the news beforehand, so he sneaked away and ran to Yu Qing, the minister of state of Zhao.
Yu Qing knew that he could not persuade King Zhao to keep Wei Qi, so he took off the seal and resolutely ran to the State of Wei with Wei Qi to defect to another of the four princes of the Warring States, Xin Lingjun.
Xin Lingjun was actually very afraid of causing the fire in his heart, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he asked the person next to him: "What kind of person is Yu Qing?" ”
A person next to him said: "Yu Qing is the shangqing of the Zhao kingdom, and he is the talent that all countries are eager to recruit now." Despite such a high status, Wei Qi came to defect, and he could decisively abandon the official and accompany him to escape, and come to you. You actually asked him what kind of person he was?! “
Xin Lingjun was ashamed, so he accepted the two.
Even so, Wei Qi heard about it. He scolded in his heart, "Depend, the Xinling Emperor has a false name, it turns out to be such a person!" So, in a fit of rage, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
King Zhao heard about this and sent someone to take Wei Qi's head and give it to the State of Qin, which eventually sent Pingyuan Jun back.
Therefore, no matter when a person, he should not do too much. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and Wei Qi is a bloody example...
I saw those who said that Fan Ju was not a gentleman or that he was a villain, and I was reminded of a sentence that Guo Degang said: "People who advise you to be generous if they don't understand the situation, I advise you to stay away." Because thunder may affect you when he splits him. "Fan Ju was subjected to unwarranted slander and inhuman torture, can you not take revenge?" People are accustomed to "giving infuriation to others", and the whip does not know the pain if it does not hit themselves.
Back to the point, I think Fan Ju is a generation of famous people, the contribution to the Qin State is very large, in terms of personality, there will be revenge and revenge, although in the later period because of the use of the wrong person because of the favor, but also never lost their own heart.
In terms of character and morality, it is also completely fine, so I think that a person who is not afraid of power to speak out and speak out, and who is not moved by the money of high-ranking officials, has absolutely no problem in character and morality, not only is he not a small person but a big husband. If you talk about villains, such a talent as Xu Jia is not to be let go!
