Looking at history through the crack of the door 丨 Qin Jinggong: Whether he is an enemy or not, as long as he is a talent, he will be appointed

The State of Jin was a large country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and many small states in the Central Plains were dependent on the State of Jin to avoid being invaded. However, some of the surrounding powers did not buy the accounts of the Jin state, such as the Qin state, and often had wars with the Jin state.

On one occasion, two countries went to war again at odds. The Jin army fought all the way to the edge of the Jingshui River in the Qin State, but the Qin army stubbornly resisted, and the two armies were in a stalemate for a while. Seeing that there was not much grain and grass, the Jin army had to decide to withdraw its troops and return to China.

The commander of the Jin army was called Luan Di (yǎn), there was a younger brother named Luan Qi, the deputy general of the Shangjun Army(gài) had a son named Shi Martin, the two had a good relationship, and they were both flesh and blood spirit boys, Luan Yu said to Shi Martin: "This battle has been fought for so many days, nothing has been found, it is really a nest, and it is about to withdraw, do you dare to rush to the Qin army camp with me to fight for a while and then leave?" ”

Shi Martin smiled and said, "Why don't you dare!" So the two men rushed towards the Qin army in a chariot. As a result, Luan Yu was shot dead by the Qin army, and Shi Martin escaped alone.

When Luan Di heard about it, he angrily said to Shi Zhao, "My brother was seduced by your son and went to the Qin army to rush to kill, and now that my brother is dead, your son is still alive, if you don't drive him away, I will also kill him." Shi Zhao had no choice but to expel his son Shi Martin from the Jin Dynasty.

The surrounding small countries are the younger brothers of the Jin state, if they flee to these countries, as long as Luan Di gives an order, Shi Martin will lose his life, so Shi Martin flees to the Qin State. The king of the Qin kingdom, Qin Jinggong, heard about it and invited the martingale to come and see him. Qin Jinggong's questioning, Shi Martin was able to answer like a stream, Qin Jinggong was very happy, and wanted to make Shi Martin a guest of qin. Shi Martin resolutely refused, saying, "I only took refuge in the Qin Kingdom, but if I become an official of the Qin State, I will become a traitor to the Jin State, please take back your life!" ”

Qin Jinggong was not only not angry, but said: "Since this is the case, I will write a letter to the King of Jin to intercede on your behalf, to see if I can forgive your crimes and restore your position in the Jin Kingdom." Qin Jinggong actually wrote a letter to the king of the Jin Dynasty, detailing Shi Martin's talent. In this way, Shi Martin returned to the Jin Dynasty and the official was reinstated.

The doctors of the Qin state were greatly puzzled and asked Qin Jinggong, "Shi Martin rushed to kill our military camp a few days ago, why didn't you take the opportunity to kill him, but instead sent him back to the Jin Dynasty?" Qin Jinggong said, "I even cherish the talents of the enemy so much, if I pass it on and throw myself into the Sages of the Qin Kingdom, how can I be a warrior!" ”

Sure enough, since then, the world's outstanding talents have thrown themselves into the Qin Kingdom.
