Originated from the northwestern frontier, Qin was able to defeat the princes of the Central Plains and unify the world. There are certainly many reasons, but there are many Ming princes in the history of Qin, which should be one of the important reasons.
Which Mingjun are there in Qin?
Farther away, before Qin Mugong, such as Qin Xianggong, Qin Wengong, Qin Xiangong, and Qin Wugong, they were great for almost generations. After Qin Mugong, there was a brief court battle, especially Qin Xiangong, Qin Xiaogong and his sons. From now on, Qin has almost no stunned monarchs. Among them, Qin Huiwen, Qin Zhuangxiang and later Qin Shihuang, including Qin Wu, Qin Xiaowen, and Qin Zhuangxiang who reigned for a short time, have all made great achievements.
Qu Zhi calculated that the state of Qin was established from Qin Feizi to the demise of Qin Ziying, a total of 685 years, 33 generations of emperors, only Qin Chuzi, Qin Li Gonggong, Qin Xianggong, Qin Linggong and other five or six People only.
Compared with the princes of the Central Plains, the probability is already very low.
Then, why are there so many Mingjun in Qin?
I mentioned in the article "A strange incident happened in the Qin State, and no one can tell why until now." I mentioned that during the period of Qin Wugong, the eleventh monarch of the Qin State, a short-term “Three Fathers' Rebellion” occurred in the State of Qin. .
The three fathers and others controlled the government and supported the young masters to ascend the throne, almost bringing the Qin State to the brink of collapse. Qin Wugong forbeared for three years before pacifying one of his actions and bringing the Qin State into a normal development track.
Perhaps this "Three Fathers' Rebellion" impressed Qin Wugong and the old Qin people too deeply, so since Qin Wugong, the Qin State has continued an excellent tradition of the old Qin people, and continued until Qin Mugong continued. This fine tradition is beyond the imagination of the Central Plains countries.
So, what fine traditions do Lao Qin people have?
In the face of the harsh natural environment, only the most virtuous person is selected as the head of the family.
At that time, there was Xi Rong behind the Qin State and the princes of the Central Plains in front. They were in the cracks and faced the same harsh environment. They were aimed at this kind of environment.
Based on this fine tradition of the old Qin people, after the death of Qin Wugong, he did not pass the throne to his son Yingbai, but to his younger brother Qin Degong. Qin Degong reigned for two years and passed it down to his eldest son, Qin Xuangong.
Qin Xuangong reigned for twelve years. He had nine sons. After his death, none of the nine sons were established. Instead, he passed the throne to his younger brother, the second child of the family, Qin Chenggong; Qin Chenggong reigned for four years and had seven sons. After his death, one of the seven sons did not stand up, but passed to his own younger brother, the youngest in the family, and this youngest third is very remarkable. His name is Ying Renhao, that is, the famous Qin in history. Mu Gong.
It was in the hands of Qin Mugong that Qin became the hegemon of the West and rose to the ranks of first-class powers, so that the Central Plains countries dare not look down upon it.
The fine traditions of the old Qin people are reflected in the issue of family and country. There are only four words, namely: brother and brother.
In the face of this fine tradition, there is no such thing as kinship, but only willing comity. For the future of Qin, the previous generation of emperors can willingly pass on the throne to their virtuous younger brothers.
The State of Qin has developed in this way. How important is this fine tradition of the Lao Qin people, you can see it?
How many princes of the Central Plains said that the old Qin people are barbaric, but the old Qin people are for the country, when the brothers confided, how about the princes of the Central Plains?
First, the son of Lu, the son of Yin, the son of Qi, the father of Xiang Xiang, the Gaoqu of Zheng Guo, the killing of Zhao Gong, and the clan struggles that lasted for 70 years in the Jin Kingdom. Even later, the Zhou Dynasty also had a chaos in the Zhou Dynasty. In the country, Qi Huangong's six sons were fighting for power, and the Jin country came to Liji's rebellion and so on.
The princes of the Central Plains, when the killing of kings and chaotic politics was almost commonplace, the old Qin people were united and immersed in the low-key development in the harsh environment. In order to avoid the power officials from interfering in politics, the clan struggles, successive generations of kings, the older brothers abandoned their sons, and passed on. Bit for his brother.
Old Qin people are just so great. There is a saying: brothers are united, and their profits are broken. From this perspective, they are ultimately strong, and it should be right.
