Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Chapter 482 How Many People Are Comparable?

It is believed that no matter whether it is the courtiers of Daqin or Yingzheng, it is unacceptable to simply build a martial arts temple to worship the enemy.

But Zhao Che's article about the Martial Temple puts Daqin in the status of a victor, and it is also a political means to promote the reunification of the survivors of the six countries, so it seems much easier to accept.

"It turns out that Champion Hou's eyes are on the common people in the world, not just in the land of Great Qin. In this way, it seems that we are too small."

Bao Bailingzhi just touted a sentence, which immediately changed everyone's minds.

"Yes, yes, I knew that what the Champion Hou did was indeed an act of kindness and tolerance. If this Martial Temple is really built, the Seven Kingdoms will truly be united, and there will be no distinction between you and me."

Zhao Che's article turned everyone's thinking around so simply. From doubts just now, it suddenly became one-sided praise.

But now everyone has no objection to the establishment of the Wu Temple, but Li Xin stood up at this time.

"Champion Marquis, we naturally agree to the establishment of the Martial Temple, but the ranking of generals in the Martial Temple may be somewhat inconsistent. Lord Bai of Wu'an ranks first. I have no objection, and my grandson is second, but I can accept it. This Wu Qi, how can He De be ranked third?"

Hearing Li Xin's words, Zhao Che was actually not surprised, because Wu Qi's military strength is needless to say, but his personal character is very controversial.

Wu Qi was born in a wealthy family in the Wei state in the early Warring States period. He spent a lot of money in order to achieve a career, but he did not get an official position, so he was slandered and ridiculed by the villagers.

Wu Qi was so angry that he killed more than 30 people who slandered him. Before he fled, Wu Qi swore to his mother that he would never return to defend if he was not a minister.

Later Wu Qi came to the State of Lu and studied under Zeng Shen, the son of the Confucian sage Zeng Zi.

Later, Wu Qi's mother died of a serious illness. There was a letter from his hometown, but Wu Qi had made an oath, so he only cried a lot, but did not go back to the funeral.

After the incident came out, Zeng Shen believed that he did not abide by the Confucian creed of filial piety, so he expelled him from his sect and severed the teacher-student relationship.

With a reputation of being unfilial, Wu Qi naturally couldn't study Confucianism anymore, so he turned to study the art of war.

Later, Wu Qi really became famous in the field of military art. Duke Xuan of Qi attacked the State of Lu, and Duke Yuan of Lu wanted to appoint Wu Qi as a general, but Wu Qi's wife was from the State of Qi, which made Duke Yuan a little worried.

Wu Qi, who was eager for meritorious service, turned his head and killed his wife to show his loyalty. This is the story of killing his wife and begging his general.

Later, Wu Qi helped the State of Lu repel the attack of the State of Qi, but Duke Lu Yuan, an idiot, listened to other people's slander and drove Wu Qi away.

Later, Wu Qi came to the state of Wei, helped the state of Wei defeat the Great Qin several times, and created a famous Wei soldier in the world.

Later, Wu Qi still couldn't escape the fate of being put on small shoes. After leaving Wei State, he came to Chu State again, presided over Wu Qi's reform, built Chu State into a powerful country, and even completed revenge on Wei State.

In the end, after King Chu died of illness, Wu Qi's reform harmed the interests of too many nobles of Chu, and he was jointly killed.

Wu Qi's military exploits and abilities are definitely worthy of the qualifications to enter the martial arts temple, but the problem is that his character is too flawed, even Li Xin can't look down on him, let alone those Confucian people who especially believe in the theory of loyalty and filial piety .

"Champion Marquis, since we want to build a martial arts temple, we must choose the most suitable person to be selected. How can an unfaithful and unfilial person like Wu Qi be worthy of being enshrined and admired by future generations?"

Sure enough, many Confucian ministers soon expressed their opinions against Wu Qi's entry into the Wu Temple.

In fact, Zhao Che was a little hesitant at the beginning about whether to choose Wu Qi.

The biggest shortcoming of Wu Qi is that he is too obsessed with fame and achievement, and his personality is too cruel and ruthless, which is why he has a reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial.

But apart from Wu Qi not begging for his wife's death and not going to the funeral, Wu Qi has achieved the ultimate in other aspects.

If all generals were divided into one rank during the Warring States Period, then Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, and Bai Qi were obviously in the first rank, because they had never been defeated in their lives.

And Sun Wu, the sage of soldiers, the founder of Sun Tzu's Art of War, who single-handedly brought the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, let alone the person, he must be the number one in terms of status.

But in terms of military exploits, Wu Qi's achievements are completely enough to crush the other three.

From an objective point of view, it is not easy for these four to compete, but if we compare them through their respective peak battles.

Wu Qi led a 50-strong army to defeat the [-]-strong army of the Great Qin, which was known as the tiger and wolf army after Shang Yang's reform at that time. This difficulty is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Secondly, Wu Qi loved soldiers like children, ate and slept with his soldiers, and even sucked out the pus from the wounds for them himself.

In the end, Wu Qi's reforms in the state of Chu hit the power of the old nobles to a great extent, and really benefited the leaders of Guizhou and the soldiers at the bottom.

Therefore, the evaluation of Wu Qi should not be viewed from the perspective of an opponent, but should be objectively evaluated from the lowest point of view.

Judging from this political contribution, Wu Qi is fully qualified to be selected for the Martial Temple.

Before Zhao Che opened his mouth to explain, Li Si stood up again with his arms akimbo.

"Longxi Hou's words are biased. Even though Wu Qi has shortcomings, how many people can compare with his achievements in the whole Warring States?"

"From the point of view of the Confucian creed, even if Wu Qi is not filial, is it because of this that we can deny everything Wu Qi has done, and how many people have benefited from his reforms in Chu State? You guys Why don't you mention it?"

"Wu Qi was honored as the sub-sage of the military strategist, and the Wei military pawns he created were famous all over the world. They were said to be invincible. He even led an army of 50 and repelled the [-] troops of the Great Qin Dynasty. You have eaten all the battle achievements?"

……

In addition to being an outstanding military strategist, statesman, and reformer, Wu Qi was actually a pioneer of Legalism. As a representative of Legalism, Li Si naturally admired Wu Qi very much, so it was reasonable to speak for him.

However, after Li Si finished speaking, Qin Shihuang's face darkened obviously.

There is no way, Wu Qi became famous by stepping on Daqin. After Shangyang's reform, Daqin was probably the worst loser that time.

Li Si also brought up this incident and said, isn't this poking at Da Qin's old background?
However, Ying Zheng's black face turned black, and he didn't get angry because of it. After all, Da Qin had just risen at that time, and the king of Qin at that time was not Ying Zheng, so he didn't care.

Li Xin was even more afraid to put the hatred between Wu Qi and Da Qin on the surface, and Wu Qi's achievements were real.

In the whole Great Qin, there is only Wu An Jun Bai Qi who can be compared with Wu Qi. Wang Jian and Meng Tian may also be compared with him, but Li Xin is definitely not included among them.

"Smart words and sophistry, no matter how much you say, it can't change Wu Qi's crime of filial piety and murder of his wife. If such people can enter the martial arts temple, I, Li Xin, will be the first to disagree."

Li Xin lost his lip service, so he simply played a rogue, but he refused to agree anyway.

"You don't agree?"

Li Si sneered.

"A weak question, are you worthy? Wu Qi has never been defeated in a battle all his life. If such meritorious service cannot enter the martial arts temple, who can enter? Could it be that you, who were beaten and fled with 20 troops in the battle of Chu, can enter?"

"Old man, who are you talking about?"
