The article is divided into five parts. The first part puts forward the general argument: "I think it's too much to hear officials talking about expelling guests." Cut to the chase, cut to the chase, and clearly put forward a judgment and an opinion, which is really a pencil sharpener for historians. This is an ancient, simple and elegant way of writing since Zuo Zhuan and Guo Ce. It is "official discussion" rather than "royal judgment", and the responsibility for "mistakes" is deliberately placed on "official discussion" to avoid sharp edges.
The second part describes the development history of Qin State since Miao Gong (that is, "Mu Gong") appointed "Ke Qing". First, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin Miaogong recruited five people from all over the country, namely, Bai, Jian Shu, Pi Bao and Gong. As a result, he "merged with the country for twenty years and then conquered Xirong".
By the Warring States period, the situation was more complicated, it was not easy to establish a country, and it was even more difficult to start a business. Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang established a new political system, which enriched Qiang Bing, expanded its territory and laid a strong foundation. King Hui used Zhang Yi's strategy to expand the land and disintegrate the anti-Qin alliance of the six countries. The influence lasted until Qin Shihuang's time. Zhao Haoqi appointed Fan Sui to exile the half-brother and uncle Hua Yangjun of Empress Xuan, abolished Empress Xuan, strengthened the government, put an end to private affairs, and further explored the country to create today's imperial industry.
