Fan Sui is a man with a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, but he became Prime Minister not because he had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, but because he had enough strength. And he can make a difference in the state of Qin, but also inseparable from his noble.
However, fan Sui's vengeful personality made him leave some anecdotes for later generations.
Fan Sui, Zi Shu, was born in the state of Wei. He has always wanted to lobby around for success, and he has a chance to find his own talent. Later, he thought that it was better to be the king of Wei who was "at the door of his family" and planned to serve the king of Wei from now on. But his family didn't have much money, so he couldn't help him get a chance to work around the king of Wei very soon, so fan Sui had to step back and become the servant of doctor Xu Jia.
As we all know, fan Sui is famous as the Prime Minister of the state of Qin. Indeed, his short political career in the state of Wei, not to mention his achievements, almost took his life. When he was under the command of Xujia, fan Sui went to the state of Qi as an envoy. However, Xu Jia and others failed to complete the task assigned by the king of Wei.
But at this time, Xujia heard that the king of Qi gave fan Sui ten jin of gold and a lot of cattle and wine. Xu Jia believed that the king of Qi would not reward fan Sui for no reason. It must be fan Sui who betrayed the state of Wei and revealed the information of the state of Wei to him. But in fact, the king of Qi just appreciated fan Sui's eloquence and treated him with courtesy. Fan Sui also declined the reward from the king of Qi.
But Xujia insisted that fan Sui had betrayed the state of Wei, and asked fan Sui to accept the cattle and wine presented by the king of Qi. When he returned to the state of Wei, Xujia became more and more jealous and angry with fan Sui, so he reported the matter to the prime minister Wei Qi.
Wei Qi, as the son of the royal family of the state of Wei, naturally showed no mercy to the traitors. He asked his courtiers to beat fan Sui with boards and Vitex twigs in turn. He beat fan Sui so that his flank was broken and his teeth were broken that he was dying. In order to protect his life, fan Sui pretends to be dead. As a result, he is rolled into the straw mat and thrown into the toilet. However, even so, Wei Qi did not let fan Sui go. He also asked the drunken guests to pee on fan Sui to punish him.
Fortunately, before he passed out, fan Sui agreed with the guard that if the guard could find a chance to let him go, he would be grateful in the future. So the guard who intended to let fan Sui go suggested throwing away the dead man in the mat while Wei Qi was drunk. Wei Qi agreed to the guard's suggestion. Fan Sui escaped by this means.
Later, Wei Qi regretted that he had thrown fan Sui away as a dead man and ordered him to be found. Zheng Anping, who saved fan Sui, immediately fled with him when he heard about it. In order not to be found, fan Sui declared that he was "Zhang Lu".
After that, fan Sui met Wang Ji, who helped him become the Prime Minister of the state of Qin. At that time, Wang Jizheng came to the state of Wei as an emissary. Zheng Anping disguised himself as a servant and came to Wang Ji to recommend Zhang Lu. As soon as he saw Zhang Lu, Wang Ji found that Zhang Lu was a rare talent and made an appointment to take him to the state of Qin.
After arriving in the state of Qin, Wang Ji and his party met a prime minister who hated lobbying guests from all over the world. Marquis Chen asked Wang Ji if he had brought a lobbyist back home. Wang Ji denied that. Marquis Chen let Wang Ji and his party go without saying any more. But fan Sui was still worried that he would kill them, so he got out of the car and walked alone. As a result, Wang Ji and others walked for more than ten li, and as expected, they met the search team sent by Marquis Chen. Fortunately, fan Sui got off the bus early and arrived at the capital without danger.
However, when Wang Ji reported to Qin Zhao that he had brought back a man of insight, Qin Zhao did not show much curiosity. He only let fan Sui live in a guest house, and he had only plain food all day. In this way, fan Sui waited for King Qin Zhao in the guest house for more than a year.
Finally, fan Sui couldn't wait. He presented a memorial letter to King Qin Zhao. Among them, fan Sui talked about the way of governing his officials. He said that "a mediocre Lord rewards his beloved and punishes his evil; a Wise Lord does not, but rewards will be added to meritorious service and punishment will be judged to be guilty.". "He also advised King Qin Zhao to make good use of those who were loyal to him and stay away from those who bullied others and harmed the interests of the country, such as Marquis Chen and Hua Yangjun.
It was not until he saw fan Sui's documents that King Qin realized that he had almost missed a talent, so he called fan Sui for an interview. After the meeting, fan Sui analyzed the situation of the empress dowager, marquis and others in power, and also analyzed the shortcomings of Qin's foreign attack policy, and gave some suggestions. In this interview alone, fan Sui got the official position of Keqing and began his work of giving advice to King Zhao of Qin.
After that, with the help of fan Sui, the state of Qin took Huaiyi and Xingqiu successively. In addition, fan Sui also made the king see clearly the harm to the country caused by the Empress Dowager and Marquis Chen, and promoted the king to abolish the Empress Dowager and expel Marquis Chen, Gaoling, Huayang and Jingyang. He was no longer the Prime Minister of the state, so the seal fell into the hands of fan Sui. Not only that, King Zhao of Qin gave Yingcheng to fan Sui and made him yinghou.
It can be said that Zheng Anping and Wang Ji had contributed a lot to fan Sui's success. Without their help, fan Sui would have died. Therefore, recommended by fan Sui, Zheng Anping became a general of the state of Qin, and Wang Ji became a prefect of Hedong. The former was publicly humiliated by fan Sui when he was sent to the state of Qin, while the latter was forced to death by King Zhao of Qin.
Fan Sui had a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. Even if he was only given a meal, he would certainly repay him. And he will be rewarded, even if others just stare at him, he will not let that person go. But the reason why fan Sui became the Prime Minister of Qin Dynasty was that he was able to move the king of Qin Zhao.
