Chapter 578 'Start: Pulling Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong to Revolt'
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, "The Qin Empire - Fission" aired new episodes, and the plot of the TV series became more and more exciting and twists and turns.
Continuing from the previous chapter, Ying Quliang succeeded to the throne, which indeed aroused dissatisfaction among the old family members and others. Du Zhi even made trouble in court and supported Ying Qian.
At the critical moment, Ying Qian stood up, angrily scolded Du Zhi and others, and cut his hair with a sword.
Ying Qian had always had prestige in the army, and he himself supported Ying Quliang's rise to power. The old family members and others did not dare to make trouble again, and Ying Quliang succeeded to the throne smoothly.
After taking office, Ying Quliang promoted his eldest brother to Zuo Shuchang and General to stabilize the clan and the military.
The senior official Qian Long was also asked to take charge of the funeral of Qin Xiangong, which was a step forward for the old family and appeased the ministers who were anxious because of their participation in the seizure of the heir.
Since then, the situation in Qin has temporarily eased, but soon, a new crisis came.
The State of Wei, which suffered a loss in the Battle of Shaoliang, learned that Duke Xiang of Qin was dead, believed that the State of Qin was in a period of weakness, and decided to attack Qin.
The general sent by the King of Wei to lead the army this time was not the idiot Young Master Yan, but Pang Juan, the number one commander in the Wei Kingdom.
Pang Juan formulated a strategy to attack Qin, which was divided into two steps.
The first step was to attack Lishan Mountain with 30,000 elite cavalry, rescue the captured Gongshu Cuo, and frighten the morale of the Qin army.
The second step is to recharge your batteries and wait until spring begins to attack Qin. At that time, the Qin army is distracted and can be defeated in one fell swoop.
There were spies from the State of Qin lurking, and they soon got the news. A high-level meeting was held, and Ying Quliang deduced Pang Juan's intentions.
Thirty thousand elite cavalry attacked Lishan. It was a lie to save Gongshu Cuo, but it was true to force Qin to kill Gongshu Cuo.
The first purpose of what Pang Juan did was to get rid of his political enemies. After all, it was not a secret in Wei that Pang Juan and Gongshu Cuo had different political opinions. Without Gongshu Cuo, Pang Juan would be the most powerful minister in Wei.
Second, it is to use this to seize Qin's handle and use it as a reason to send troops.
It is very important to occupy the rightful name. Attacking other countries for no reason is an unjust teacher.
It will be denounced by other countries in the world, and maybe it will be attacked in groups.
For example, Israel...
The Qin State launched the Shaoliang War in the name of regaining its homeland. The Wei State wanted to legitimately conquer the Qin State, and avenging the old prime minister Gong Shucuo was a good excuse.
However, even though he could sense Pang Juan's sinister intentions, it was difficult for Ying Quliang to save Gongshu Cuo's life.
Duke Xiang of Qin was seriously injured and died in the battle between Qin and Wei. To put it bluntly, Gongshu Cuo, the coach of the Wei State, was the main culprit of Duke Xiang of Qin's death.
Revenge for killing my father!
The hatred of the dead king!
Coupled with the decades of grievances and grievances between Qin and Wei.
Everyone in the Qin State wanted to crush Uncle Cui's bones into ashes. Under the overwhelming hatred, Ying Quliang would not kill him unless he said so.
But Ying Quliang still had to be saved, because it was useful for him to keep Gongshu Cuo.
Qin's victory was weak and its political situation was unstable, so it was unable to fight another war with Wei.
So he planned to let Gongshu Cuo go and lower his profile so that Wei would have no excuse to send troops. Then he would use Gongshu Cuo's favor to cede territory to Wei and sue for peace, thus gaining time for Wei to grow.
Ying Quliang's move was undoubtedly the right choice, but in the eyes of many people he was "cowardly" and had lost his power and humiliated the country.
For this reason, Ying Quliang was once in a very difficult situation, and many people did not understand him.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother understood the righteousness well and supported her son at the critical moment, so Ying Quliang's plan was implemented.
During this period, Shang Yang also came out to show off his face. After all, they are two male protagonists, and they can't show off to Ying Quliang alone.
However, Shang Yang's position at this time was too weak to interfere in the confrontation between the two countries for the time being, so he sent a single cavalry to rescue him.
He made some suggestions to the Qin State, coincided with Ying Quliang, and Qingshan Songbai CP met for the first time.
In addition, Shang Yang's appetite also shocked many people in Qin, and he even made three pots of lettuce soup.
Ying Quliang put down his third empty basin, as if he had found a close friend who was also a rice cook...
The plot of the Qin State has come to an end, and what follows is the game between the top leaders of the Wei State.
At that time, the Wei State had abundant national power left by two generations, Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, and was assisted by virtuous ministers and famous generals. It was the well-deserved overlord of the world.
King Hui of Wei and King Wei of Qi even came to a "Xuzhou Alliance" to become kings of each other. They were also the kings of vassals after Wu, Yue and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Compared with other vassal states that only dare to call themselves princes, King Hui of Wei is considered to be the most noble person in the world under the Emperor of Zhou.
However, human ambition will never be satisfied. After King Wei Hui became the overlord, he began to climb towards higher goals.
Unify the world and become the Emperor of Wei.
In the eyes of King Wei Hui, the weak Qin State was the first stepping stone for him to unify the world.
In order to realize his political ambitions, General Pang Juan of the State of Wei also took the lead in the battle to destroy Qin and enrich Wei.
Facing the radical King Hui of Wei and Pang Juan, Gongshucuo's political views were relatively conservative.
He believes that although the Qin State is poor, it has not lost its vigor. Forcibly annexing it will arouse fierce resistance. Even if the Qin State is really destroyed, it will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, Gongshu Cuo advocated encroaching step by step and weakening the Qin State bit by bit.
Use various means to attack Qin's national power, weaken Qin to a certain extent, and then destroy Qin in one fell swoop.
Especially after being released by Qin, I witnessed with my own eyes that the people of Qin were united. The new king, Ying Quliang Kuanren, was resolute and talented, and he did not advocate attacking Qin rashly.
As a result, Pang Juan and Gongshu Cuo met with King Wei Hui several times. They each had their own reasons, and King Wei Hui wavered, but in the end he could not resist the temptation to destroy Qin.
Not to mention, Pang Juan gave him a clever plan to unite the other five countries to attack Qin.
Although it is inevitable to give up some benefits, it can also reduce the losses of destroying Qin. When Qin is destroyed, Wei will have no threat from the west, and it will be easier to cause trouble.
King Hui of Wei was overjoyed and immediately followed Pang Juan's plan and notified the other five-nation alliance.
The six kingdoms were divided into Qin, and the situation in Qin became even more critical.
………
Ying Quliang successfully succeeded to the throne of Wei State and prepared to attack Qin Gongshu Cuo. There was an internal dispute in Wei State about whether to release or kill Duke Cui. The six kingdoms were divided into Qin.
In just a few episodes, "The Qin Empire - Fission" continues to climax, with one plot after another firmly grasping the audience.
In addition, many plots such as the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom, and the game between the two countries were filmed to make the IQ online.
Between countries and between people, everyone has their own interests and considerations. The TV series shows them completely, depicting the complexity of politics without making it difficult to understand.
This is an important point.
Political game is a very deep knowledge, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fully understand the truth behind it.
Therefore, if political plots or metaphors are described based on real situations, many viewers will be confused and unable to understand the underlying meaning.
After all, TV series are for the public. You can add a lot of relevant details, but the plot development should be easy for the audience to understand.
Zuo Shu's personal understanding of drama is that it should be simple but not superficial, and should control the proportion of business and art.
The plot is straightforward and does not pretend to be profound, but there is a certain amount of blank space, allowing many viewers who are willing to think deeply to discover more details and slowly savor it.
The drama "Qin Empire - Fission" does an excellent job in this regard.
Audiences who don't know much about history and politics can know what the characters want to do from the plot and lines.
High-level viewers can also dig deeper into some plots and restore the characters' goals, positions and mutual games from a larger level.
It is precisely because of this that the ratings of "Qin Empire - Fission" are still rising after it entered the ranks of Douhua with a high score of 9.3.
As of the 12th episode of "The Great Qin Empire - Fission", the Qin State has shattered the conspiracy of the six countries to divide Qin and escaped the crisis, and Shang Yang also relied on his talents to show his talent for the first time.
The ratings have reached 3.74, and it is really just a matter of time before it breaks 4. Many people have even begun to bet on when the ratings of "Qin Empire - Fission" will break 5.
On the 13th day of the first lunar month, episodes 15 and 16 will be broadcast. Ying Quliang issued an order to recruit talents, Shang Yang decided to join the Qin Dynasty, and the climax of Qin's reform was about to begin.
"The Qin Empire - Fission" has an average ratings of over 4 and has officially become a phenomenon-level TV series.
In fact, whether it is a phenomenon or not, the ratings have long been used to prove it. After the broadcast of "The Great Qin Empire - Fission", a "Great Qin" whirlwind blew up in China.
Duke Xiao of Qin, Shang Yang, King Hui of Wei, and Pang Juan have become the most popular historical figures at the moment.
Countless netizens have exposed their identity as a 30-year-old Qin fan.
[Warring States & Qin] This era, which was originally somewhat unpopular, suddenly became a hot topic and was popularized by countless people.
Relevant self-media began to edit popular science video articles, introducing the historical process from Qin Xiangong to the fall of Qin from various angles of official history and unofficial history.
Even this trend later spread to the Internet literary world, and various authors took advantage of the popularity and published a large number of new books related to Qin.
"Mythical Version of the Warring States Period"
"The Watcher of Da Qin"
"My King Qin is too stable"
"Qin Township"
"Starting: Pulling Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong to rebel"
"Xianyang Prodigal Son"
"Return to the Qin Dynasty to Become a Prince"
"The Last Cruel Man in Da Qin"
"History: I am actually Shang Yang's son"
"The Years I Was an Executioner in Da Qin"
"..."
For a moment, it was as if the entire Internet was dreaming back to the city of Xianyang more than 2,000 years ago. "The Qin Empire" single-handedly made the Qin Dynasty become the new top king in history. The Han Dynasty was furious!
Jingtang was furious!
Shrewd and furious!
Jing Song......
Well, there shouldn't be many people who would be fans of Zhao Guan's family...
This is true in other fields, not to mention the film and television industry that is most deeply involved in "The Qin Empire - Fission".
In fact, as early as the project of "The Great Qin Empire" was first established, many people were interested in it, and some of the films have even been completed. It was earlier than the broadcast of "The Great Qin Empire - Fission", but the results were average.
At that time, this somewhat stopped some evil trends, but once the results of "Qin Empire" came out, the major film and television companies were excited again.
To follow the trend, you must follow the trend.
As a result, a large number of related films and TV shows have been rumored or directly launched, and the two films that have gained greater momentum are two.
One is "The Legend of Mi Hou", which is said to tell the story of Mi Bazi, with a female lead, and was produced by Shonan TV together with two entertainment companies.
It is said that Shui Miaomiao was originally scheduled to star in this drama and was offered a sky-high price of 160 million, but Qishui declined the offer after reading the script.
So, the drama team found the little pop diva Liu Yan'er who was not very popular.
Before "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hit, Liu Yan'er also took on a drama "Jia Fang Ji" with a female protagonist. The ratings were a mess, but it was very popular on the Internet.
Although most of them are negative, the fact that they can generate a lot of buzz also proves the huge popularity of Yoo Yuna herself.
For this reason, the producers of "The Legend of Mihou" are still willing to take a gamble.
In addition to "The Legend of Mi Hou", there is another drama called "Thinking of the Beauty", which tells the story of the historical celebrity Qu Yuan.
This crew is very smart. They wanted to capitalize on the popularity of "The Qin Empire", but in order to avoid being scolded, they did not do it directly, but took a roundabout route.
The great enemy of the Chu State where Qu Yuan was located at that time was the Qin State. The two sides were fighting, and a large number of Qin characters must have appeared. It was easily tied together with "The Qin Empire".
However, what they are talking about is the story of the Chu Kingdom. You cannot say that they are riding on the popularity of "The Great Qin Empire".
This trick is really high.
What's even better is that the showrunners actually thought of filming Qu Yuan's story. This is a famous historical figure and is naturally very popular.
If we put it together with "The Qin Empire", it will have a lot of attention.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. If you use Qu Yuan's attention to attract attention, you will have nothing to say if the photo is successful, but if the photo is not successful...
Just to thank Qu Yuan for buying everyone the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the audience will be merciless and uphold justice.
From this aspect, Qu Yuan is even more popular than Qin Shihuang. The only historical figure who can compare with him is Jie Zitui who won the Qingming Festival.
However, the relationship between Jie Zitui and Qingming Festival is just a rumor, and the true situation needs to be verified, which is not as conclusive as Qu Yuan and Dragon Boat Festival.
But no matter what, Qu Yuan + "The Qin Empire" is still very exciting, and "Thinking of the Beauty" has also gained a lot of momentum.
One thing worth noting is that whether it is "The Legend of Mihou" or "Thinking of the Beauty", the story backgrounds of the two dramas are roughly from the same period as the second part of "The Qin Empire", "Zongheng".
Whether it's to gain popularity or compete in the ring, it can be expected that the two crews did this intentionally.
………
Returning to the plot of "The Qin Empire - Fission", Shang Yang entered the Qin Dynasty, talked about Qin Gong three times, and was worshiped as Zuo Shu Zhang, taking charge of the military and political affairs of the Qin State and promoting reforms.
So here comes the knowledge points that must be tested in history middle school.
【What is the purpose of Shang Yang's reform?】
Answer: In order to establish feudal rule, develop the feudal economy and make the country rich and powerful.
[The reason why Shang Yang’s reform was successful?]

[What are the impacts of Shang Yang’s Reform?]
Answer: ① The old system was abolished and a new system was established, and Qin State underwent fundamental changes. ② The combat effectiveness of the Qin Army was greatly improved. ③ Qin State’s social economy developed.
Countless viewers vaguely returned to the terrifying moment in middle school when they were dominated by the history test.
However, many history teachers have praised "The Qin Empire" online. With this TV series, their lectures have become much easier.
Many middle school students also praised it. After watching the TV series and combining it with the textbooks, they had a deeper understanding of Shang Yang's reforms.
It's just the question that gives people a little headache.
The students have studied so well, but the final exam question about "Shang Yang's Reform" will not be asked, or not...
