"Please execute Xu Qing."
Cheng Guang's words caused the Grand Secretary's expression to change slightly, and he said sternly: "Do you wish to follow the example of Gongshu Cuo?"
During the Warring States period, Gongshu Cuo knew that Shang Yang was talented when he was young, but before he had the chance to recommend him to King Hui of Wei, Gongshu Cuo fell seriously ill.
King Hui of Wei personally visited Gongshu Cuo and said: "If your illness takes a turn for the worse, what will become of Jiangshan and its altars of the soil and grain?" Gongshu Cuo replied: "Although Gongsun Yang, the middle official's son, is young, he possesses remarkable talent. I hope Your Majesty will entrust all national affairs to him and let him govern."
King Hui of Wei remained silent. Just as King Hui was about to leave, Gongshu Cuo dismissed his attendants and said: "If Your Majesty does not employ Gongsun Yang, then you must kill him and not allow him to leave Wei State."
