The emperor himself died at the hands of others and was laughed at by the whole world. Why?

Moreover, the world is not small and weak, and Yongzhou is solid and self-sufficient. Chen She's position is not respected by Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei and Zhongshan. Hoe thorns, which is different from the long shovel of the hook; The people stationed in the garrison are not resistant to the division of the nine countries; Visionary, marching with troops, not for the people of the times. However, success or failure is different, and achievements are the opposite. Why? Try to make Lu and Chen She bigger and bigger, and we can't talk about it in the same year. Qin, however, is a mere place, but it has become a thousand times more powerful, with eight countries in the same column, which has been more than a hundred years. Then take Liuhe Hall as the palace; Water under the bridge, but difficult to be alone. Benevolence and kindness are not applied, and the tendency to attack and defend is different.

Moreover, the world is not weak, and Yongzhou's vast land, towering mountains and Hanguguan are naturally the same as before. Chen She's social status is not higher than that of Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Song, Wei and Zhongshan. The hoe stick is not sharper than the long weapon of the hook; The troops relegated to the garrison are not better than the troops of the nine countries; His foresight and tactics of marching with troops are not as clever as those of the advisers of the former nine countries. However, success and failure have undergone different changes, and achievements have shown the opposite situation. Try to make Shandong's country bigger than Chen She's, compare strength and measure military strength, so it can't be the same year. At first, Qin gained the right of the son of heaven by a small piece of land, ruled the other eight countries in the world, and forced six princes in the same column to serve in the court for more than 100 years; Then take the house of the world as an official; An ordinary person led the uprising, but the ancestral temple of the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. The emperor himself died at the hands of others and was laughed at by the whole world. Why? The offensive and defensive situation has changed because of the policy of not giving benevolence and righteousness.

Brief introduction of the author

Jia Yi (200 BC-65438 BC+068 BC), a native of Luoyang (now east of Luoyang, Henan), was a famous political commentator and writer in the early Western Han Dynasty, and was called Jia Sheng.

Jia Yi is a rare talent. At the age of eighteen, he was considered a good writer in the county. Wendi was a doctor at that time, and later moved to be a doctor in Taizhong. He was pushed out by ministers Zhou Bo and Guan Ying and was promoted to be the teacher of King Changsha, so later generations also called Jia Changsha and Jia Taifu. Three years later, he was recalled to Chang 'an to be the teacher of Liang Huaiwang. Liang fell off his horse and died. Jia Yi was deeply sorry and died of depression at the age of 33.

Sima Qian sympathized with both Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, and wrote a joint biography for them, so later generations often referred to Jia Yi and Qu Yuan as "Qu Jia".
