  Qin Xiangong name with, but also teacher Xi, the son of a Qinling Gong, Xiao of Qin's father. In 385 BC, and even return from Wei Qin, seize power by force, then began the reforms at the state of Qin. Xiao of Qin and Shang Yang's reform is a continuation of the reform Qinxian Gong.
  Wei Qin exhausted the rapid development of low and sharp contrast, greatly stimulated the exile of the son with the Wei. Think of the decline of the state of Qin and his own experience, son even had a back Throne, the implementation of the strong desire of the New Deal and Political Reform. As the son had been established even for the Prince of Qin Jun waste in the use of great political value, and therefore the treatment of Wei to son with very generous. Son with one of Wei's powerful learning experience, while closely monitoring the situation in the state of Qin China.
  At this point, Marquis Wei Wen Wei Wuhou will create the dominance it to a new height, even the Qi field and would like to seek closure through the princes had to discuss the Zhou Wei Wuhou to seal. The first year of a child of Qin (386 BC), the field and was formally classified as feudal lords, Tian Qi on behalf of the fact that the law has been approved by the king. As Wei Tian, and this helped a lot by Wei and Qi appeared short-lived peace. However, this same year, Zhao and Wei in the interests of South Korea had a dispute, the capital of Wei from vulnerable to attack Zhongmu (now Henan Hebi West) moved north to facilitate the defense of Handan, preparation and Han, Wei break. Earlier, Han, Zhao, Wei often with action, has beaten Qi and Chu, won Chu, Zheng, Song, and other countries of large tracts of land. However, because of geographical reasons, because the land south of the Han and Wei for the two countries share borders and more, the north side of Zhao and the new borders of the land and often do not follow the white busy for Han Wei. And Wei Zhao of the Central Plains of the very resistance aroused strong dissatisfaction Zhao. Thus, Zhao Jing Hou decided to move to more favorable capital Handan defense, so start with Wei competition for land. Handan West, South, East to Zhanghe surrounded by the Taihang Mountains to the west is a defense of Wei, Han's natural barrier. Zhongmu inrush Wei's sphere of influence, risk is not conducive with strong rivals such as Wei operations. Zhao Jing Hou move the capital of Handan, the main object is to capture the land of Wei, which would threaten the control of Wei Wei's interests. And Wei Zhao and went away from the closely linked Chu Wu Qi, Zhao Chu joint, it will occupy the important city of Wei the formation of north-south pincer attack beam. And west of the state of Qin was the sworn enemy of Wei, Chao Chu recent contact with very closely. If the joint attack Qin Zhao Wei Chu, Wei will be in the north and south and west sides by the enemy of the unfavorable situation.
  Wei Wuhou decided to use instability in the internal affairs of the state of Qin, to subvert the regime, as Wei Qin surrounded breakthrough out of the three countries. Although Qin is the weakest of the three countries, but can not rely on war to solve the state of Qin. If the attack Wei Qin, Zhao Chu will attack from taking advantage of the north and south, which the middle of the Chao Chu wants. Wei Wuhou decided to adopt a way to both effort and save trouble. This approach is to link back to the Qin's son, to help son with seizure of power, the establishment of a pro-Wei government. Moreover, even if the son with seizure of power failure, the state of Qin will certainly fall into chaos, Gu Eastern time. Wei Wuhou of this approach can be described best of both worlds.
  Wei Wuhou son even sent people to tell, Wei returned back to support him should belong to him Qin Guojun bit, did not immediately declare their son even after listening. Wei is also closely connected son of the current situation, that the intention of returning Wei Wuhou support their. Weiguo Shan to be his almost three decades, had never proposed to send their returned, had to stay where they are needed is to bring their own use. At a time when the international environment Wei sinister, it is to make use of their time. Son returned even though there is a strong desire to govern, but he knows that is the sworn enemy of the state of Qin and Wei, Wei sent him back if his own state of Qin who definitely will not be welcomed. Moreover, its support since it is only under Wei emperor to power, inevitably subject to constraints Wei, while Qin negative. Son even reluctant to do something detrimental to the interests of the state of Qin. Son even knows that he can not refuse Weiwu Hou. Son with the value for Wei is that his identity is that he still have a certain appeal in the state of Qin, Wei is to use this disturbing state of Qin and boon. If you refuse to Weiwu Hou, Wei himself had become a person of no value, is likely to mean death might bring. Son even thought for a while, on the Weiwu Hou said the envoy, he is very grateful to Marquis Wei Wen and Wei Wuhou years to his care, Wei is now at more tense international environment, he was unwilling to Weiwu Hou and scattered his forces again. Even his own son returned intention, declined Wei escort. Wei Wuhou see the promised son returned with the aim has been achieved, then donated to son with horses and chariots and a lot of gold and silver jewelry, even when asked the son left, good for him that time, farewell. Son even said that at least a year, to bid farewell when the orientation Wuhou. Wuhou although not very happy, but still polite and son even say goodbye. Prior to that, son even also want to use instability in the internal affairs of the state of Qin regain the throne, but he did not want to accept the help of Wei by Wei Wuhou mercy. Wei Wuhou son with the recommendation to neither accept nor reject, and have actually forced him to seize power immediately started preparatory activities.

  Qinxian Gong in seized power, were selected from a group of landowners who have served as state minister to allow landowners and farmers in the army, so that they receive knighthood by meritorious service. This gives landowners and farmers in politics way, so that they can through legal means to satisfy their own political needs.

Offering a series of reforms for the public, landlords very supportive of the state of Qin, and slave owners are getting to it. Master the main way of access to land by the king's Feng Shang, the landlord is the main form of access to land through land reclamation and purchasing. Undoubtedly offer the public policy to support the landlord's economy, but offer very little public land, I may give nobility. Qin's slave owners who will be greatly inhibited, some of them into a landlord, the landlord to take the economic mode of production, offering the public the practice of these people very supportive. But, after all, the slave forces Qin is a traditional forces, especially in the early activity center Qin, Qin west, still very strong. Master control of the western and eastern landowners control the growing contradictions. This is mainly because the amount of land the state of Qin had failed to meet their needs, allow them to compete on the existing land. Of course, there is struggle for power. Although the land and estate management, master clear line as landlords, but they want the land it is equally strong. Xian decided to use war to divert public tension internal contradictions, land grabbing neighbors to mitigate the strong domestic demand for land. Qin exchanges people and the Central Plains have a strong desire, which is offering the public has always had the dream. Public offering later years, the state of Qin to this end a series of wars.
