In his early years, he was poor and sleepy and lived in exile. Before being captured by the State of Jin, he traveled to Qi, Zhou, Yu, Guo and other countries, which made him familiar with the folk customs, geographical conditions and mountains and rivers of various countries, and prepared the necessary conditions for him to plan Qin Mugong's eastward advance. The wandering life and bumpy experience in his early years made him suffer and witnessed the tragic situation of the lower class, which had a positive impact on his later career as a doctor in Qin State and on his people-oriented thought.
Priscilla moved to Yuzhou to be a doctor. In five years (655 BC), the state of Jin attacked Guo by taking advantage of danger, and the doctor publicly remonstrated "insulting teeth". Yu Jun accepted Jin Xiangong's "Baoyu" and a famous horse's "surrender" and agreed to the State of Jin. Prissy knew that Yu Jun was incompetent and difficult to discipline, so she kept silent. As a result, Jin destroyed Guo, and when he came back, he was destroyed again, and Prissy was captured. Later, she married her daughter, and Prissy was sent to Qin as a courtier. Ashamed of this, he fled from Qin to Wan (now Nanyang, Henan) and was caught at the border of Chu. Qin Mugong heard that Priscilla was clever and wanted to redeem him at a high price, but fearing that the Chu people would not agree, he sent someone to say to the Chu people, "My minister Priscilla is not here. Please redeem him with five sheepskins. " The Chu people agreed to return Prissy to the State of Qin. When Prissy returned to the State of Qin, Qin Mugong personally unlocked the prison for him and asked him about state affairs. Prissy refused to say that she was the minister of national subjugation, and it was not worth asking. Qin Mugong said: "Yu Jun didn't use his son, so he died. This is not a crime." Qin Mugong and Priscilla talked about state affairs for a few days. Qin Mugong appreciated him very much and awarded him the title of "Dr. Wu Duan". By this time, he was over 70 years old.
During his visit to Qin Dynasty, Priscilla managed the country internally, educated the world and benefited the people. As a minister of a vassal state, Priscilla doesn't need chariots and horses for work, umbrellas on hot days, chariots and horses for walking in the capital, and armored guards. This plain and simple conduct not only sets an example for officials, but also touches the people with practical actions. It was really commendable at that time and won the praise and respect of people at that time. By the time he died, "Qin men and women cried, the boy didn't sing, and the spring people didn't agree."
In terms of employing people, Priscilla recommends talented and virtuous sages. In his early years, he traveled all over the country, met a saint, Uncle Jian, and got his help. At this time, my uncle Jian was recommended by him as a doctor and discussed state affairs, which played a great role in the prosperity and success of Qin State.
In diplomacy, Priscilla convinced people with virtue, established the prestige of Qin State, and laid the foundation for Qin Mugong's hegemony. In the 13th year of Qin Mugong (647 BC), the State of Jin was in famine and asked the State of Qin for food aid. Asked what ministers should do, some people think they should take the opportunity to attack Kim. Priscilla disagreed that "natural disasters are prevalent, and so are countries." Disaster relief, sympathy for neighbors, Taoism. "Finally, Qin Mugong took Priscilla's advice and sent food to the State of Jin. The grain carriers of the State of Qin came from Yongdu to Jiangxi (now southeast of Yicheng, Shanxi) in an endless stream. This is the famous "boating" in history. The people of Jin ate life-saving food, and they were all grateful for the kindness of Qin.
In the thirty-third year of Qin Mugong (627 BC), Qin Mugong took advantage of Jin Wengong's death in an attempt to set foot in the Central Plains. Ignoring the advice of Priscilla and Uncle Jian, they sent Meng, the son of Priscilla, and Uncle Jian's son to the west for help, and sent Bai to attack Zheng. The result was stopped by the Jin army, the Qin division was completely annihilated, and three Qin Jun generals were captured. Later, the three generals were released, and Qin Mugong said to them, "What's the crime of being alone and insulting the third son and not talking about it?" It is a great pity to think of the advice of Prissy and others.
As the Prime Minister of Qin Mugong, Prissy participated in all political affairs. During his tenure as prime minister, Qin people attributed him to several important events that Qin established national prestige, and his reputation was full of praise. In Qin Xiaogong during the Warring States Period, some people praised Bai Xixi in front of the Prime Minister, saying that "five doctors were the Prime Minister of Qin". In these six or seven years, there were three major events: First, the "Three Kings of the State of Jin", and Jin ascended the throne with the help of the State of Qin. Later, the anti-Qin was captured and sent back by Qin; Jin Wengong ended his exile and asked the country to inherit the throne, which was also escorted from Qin by the army. Second, the story of "Saving the State of Jing (Chu)" is unknown in history. "Searching for Historical Records" refers to the events that will promote and save Chu and the last Zhou Dynasty in the twenty-eight years (the first 632 years) in the Chronicle of Twelve Governors of Historical Records. Third, "teach the seal, and the Ba people pay tribute; Shide vassal, and Baron came to serve; Please see the section "Chi Yi" to appease all ethnic groups in China, and Emperor Rong was attached to it, thus achieving the great cause of dominating Xirong. In particular, Yu's entry into Qin was the key to Qin's reign in Xirong, which was also attributed to the moral and political influence of Balixi, showing the Qin people's yearning for Balixi.
As an outstanding politician, Priscilla made brilliant achievements in her later years. With his extraordinary intelligence and superior strategy, he made this secluded corner of Qin more and more powerful and played an important role in obtaining the hegemony of Qin State. Just like Confucius' comment in Historical Records, "Qin, although the country is small, has great ambitions; Although the place is a monarch, the route is right. Holding five cangue (that is, prissy), Jue Dafu ... "From this point of view, although Kelly is also, his bullying is small. "In the Qin Dynasty, obviously, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was praised by people of insight to ensure internal and external security, enrich the national strength of Qin State and lay the foundation for hegemony and reunification. Qin dominated Xirong, contended with Jin, and became the decisive force of vassal hegemony, all of which were completed in the period, which was the result of Mu Gong's great wisdom and great use, but it was also inseparable from Baijila's hard work. Therefore, critics praised Qin Mugong's achievements and always took the appointment of Priscilla as their great goal.
