The first paragraph of Zhuke Shu illustrates Ke Qing's great contribution to Qin with historical facts, which provides a basis for demonstrating the mistakes of Zhuke Shu. The first sentence said: "As soon as I heard the official say that he would expel the guests, I felt that it was too much." Cut to the chase, cut to the chase, put forward the general argument from the beginning, which is very clear and powerful.

Compare the daily life of the king of Qin with the political expulsion of Ke Qing. Finally, the conclusion is: "This is not the ability to control princes across the sea." The idea of expelling your guests is completely wrong. This strongly proves the correctness of the central argument.

The book of remonstrance and expulsion comes from Sima Qian's Biography of Historical Records and Lisi in the Western Han Dynasty.

The original text is as follows:

When I heard officials talking about expelling guests, I thought it was too much. In the past, I longed for a scholar, glory in the west and ten thousand in the east, to welcome Uncle Song Jian, Pippo and Gongsun Jin. These five sons were not born in the Qin Dynasty, but were jointly owned by Mu and merged with the country for 20 years, thus dominating Xirong.

Vernacular: I heard that officials are discussing the expulsion of Ke Qingshi, but privately they think it is wrong. Once upon a time, Qin Mugong looked for wise men, the West got Yu Yu from Xirong, and the East got Prissy from Wandi. He also welcomed Jian Shu of Song State and recruited Pi Bao and Gong Sunzhi of Jin State. These five sages annexed more than 20 countries, so they dominated Xirong.

Today, Your Majesty presented the jade of Kunshan with a free and unfettered treasure, a bright pearl, a Tai 'a sword, a dismounted horse, a emerald flag and a delicate drum. This number of rare treasures, Qin is not born, tell your majesty, how can you see it?

Vernacular: Your Majesty gave beautiful jade to Kunshan. There are pearls accompanying Hou and jade from He Shen in the palace, and the clothes are decorated with pearls as bright as the moon. None of these precious things were made by Qin, but your majesty likes them very much. Why?

Today, I won't play the urn or knock. I'm going to find Kevin·Z. I'm going to play the piano and take care of it. If so, what is it? I'm satisfied with the present, but I'm just comfortable with it. It's not like this to bring people today. Don't ask if it is possible, regardless of right and wrong, those who are not Qin will go, and those who are guests will go one by one.

Vernacular: Now, Your Majesty has given up Qin's real fight against Tao Le instead of Qin Zheng, and he chose Yu Shao. Why? Isn't it because foreign music can meet the needs of eyes and ears?

However, the most important people care about color, joy, pearls and jade, while the lightest people care about the people. This is not the art of crossing the sea to control princes.

Vernacular: this shows that your majesty only values the melody that is in perfect harmony; What they despise is the people. This is not the way to control the world and subdue the princes!

It is said that the land is vast and there are many people, and there are many people in big countries. A strong soldier is brave. Therefore, Taishan does not allow soil, so it can become big; Rivers and seas do not choose trickle, so they can be deep; The king is not only popular, so he can understand his virtue.

Vernacular: It is said that there is more food in a vast territory, a large population in a big country, and a good soldier is brave. Therefore, Taishan does not refuse the soil, so it can become high; Rivers, lakes and seas do not abandon the trickle, so they can achieve its profundity.

Husband does not produce Qin, but there are many treasures; Scholars were not born in the Qin Dynasty, but were willing to be loyal to many people. Today, it is harmful to the people and benefit the people by driving away customers to defect to the enemy, and it is self-sufficient at home and resentful of princes outside, and it is not allowed to seek the country without danger.

Vernacular: nowadays, it is impossible to seek a country without danger by helping the enemy by expelling customers, reducing people's wealth, creating emptiness at home and building resentment among princes abroad.

Reese anecdotes:

Reese was afraid that the king of Qin would use Han Fei seriously and speak ill of Han Fei. The king of Qin trusted Reese and put Han Fei in prison. According to the laws of Qin, prisoners in prison have no right to defend themselves. In collusion with Li Si and Yao Jia, Han Fei committed suicide by eating the poison sent by Li Si. ?

On the other hand, Reese always wanted to keep Han Fei in Qin, and then use it for Qin after Qin destroyed Han. However, due to the thorough analysis of the skills of emperors and rulers in Han Fei's book Han Fei Zi, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was afraid of his talent, which led him to put Han Fei in prison and torture him.

Li Si is determined to save Han Fei. He helped Han Fei present Han Fei's masterpiece Seeing Qin in Zheng, but Zheng insisted on getting rid of Han Fei. In desperation, Reese had to poison Han Fei's diet and let Han Fei die suddenly.
