As the iron gate closed, the prison gradually became darker, and the chancellor Li Si was imprisoned in this prison for advising Hu Hai to reduce taxes, and he couldn't understand why Yingzheng's younger son was so depraved that the country was unstable, and the people complained. After Hu Hai became empress, Li Si thought that with his own efforts, Great Qin could still run on the right track, which was also worthy of The Grace of Yingzheng to his own knowledge and his ideals. But the world is uncertain, and although he is now a noble minister, he is deeply imprisoned, and this feeling evokes his memories of the past, what an exciting time.
One or two kinds of rats, two kinds of life, made Li Si determined to study hard
Li Si was originally a native of Cai Guo (present-day Shangcai County, Henan Province), a commoner when he was young, he did not have any great ideals, he just wanted to quietly guard his wife and children throughout this life. He has a virtuous wife at home, who has little money but enough to spend on his own, and from time to time he can go out hunting with his son and enjoy life. The young Li Si became a clerk in Shangcai County with his own intelligence and reliable ability to do things, and it was leisurely to do some simple paperwork every day, and one day when he inspected the Granary of Shangcai, he found an interesting phenomenon and changed the trajectory of his life.
During the inspection, Li Si found that the rats in the granary were all white and fat and were not afraid to see people, on the contrary, the rats in the toilet cowered and shrunk, not only ate less than the rats in the granary, but also ran when they saw people. At this time, Li Si's heart had mixed feelings, he was in a chaotic world, and the mentality of being a civilian quietly was not like a mouse in the toilet! When the eldest husband calms the world and the country in peace, how can he be in a corner of peace, do nothing in his life, and say that ordinary is rare and precious. After having this idea, Li Si quit his job to go to the master XunZi at that time to learn the way of the Fa, hoping to be able to learn something and show his ambitions.
Second, after completing his studies and entering Qin, Li Si assisted Ying Zheng in unifying the world
Li Si followed Xun Zi to learn the "Book of Emperors", and later studied the general trend of the world, feeling that the six kingdoms would be unified in the Qin state, so he embarked on the road of westward travel into Qin. After Li Si entered Qin, he was appreciated by Lü Buwei, and when he had the opportunity to be by the side of the King of Qin, he seized the opportunity to say to the King of Qin: "Since the filial piety of the Qin State, the national strength has been strong, and this is a good opportunity to unify the world." Li Si's words coincided with Yingzheng's wishes, and he listened to Li Si's advice to alienate the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms, and reused Li Si to enrich his wings, and then gradually implemented the plan to annex the Six Kingdoms.
However, the good times were not long, South Korea knew that its strength was not as good as the Qin State would be annexed sooner or later, and sent Zheng Gong to the Qin State to repair water canals to weaken the Qin State, and soon Zheng Gong's purpose was exposed, and the King of Qin was angry and issued an eviction order to the six countries. Li Si saw that his future and ideals would disappear, and out of sincerity, he wrote the "Letter of Expulsion", and finally this letter touched the King of Qin who knew right from wrong, and Li Si was made a court lieutenant. Later, Li Si assisted the King of Qin in completing the great unification and was promoted to the position of chancellor, and urged the King of Qin to implement the county system, and gradually implemented a series of measures that had a far-reaching impact on the Chinese nation, such as unified writing, unified weights and measures, and unified currency, and promoted the formation of a unified multi-ethnic state.
Third, changing the original intention of power, Lisi moves toward self-destruction
Li Si was really hesitant, what Zhao Gao said was so reasonable, if Fu Su could never continue to be a primer, then the glory and wealth would also disappear. He wanted to promise Zhao Gao, but the edict that Yingzheng gave him was to let Fu Su come back to replace him, Li Si had followed Yingzheng for so many years and had always been loyal, but in the end he exchanged the edict in his hand for the opportunity to continue to be a minister. At that moment, he gave up his original intention and ideals, which may be the power of power, Li Si knew how much effort he had put into going from a commoner to a chancellor, and he did not want to lose what he had gained.
Li Si later lost the battle with Zhao Gao and was imprisoned, the hypocrite eventually lost to the real villain, and in the heavy wall, Li Si remembered the night when Yingzheng died. That night, if he could resist the temptation and resolutely support Fusu, with his fame, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai would never have the opportunity to seize power, and there would be no turmoil in the current Qin state. One day later, Li Si and his son were beheaded at the mouth of the Xianyang Caishikou, as he said before his death: "If you want to go out hunting with your son at Cai Dongmen, do you still have a chance?" ”
Li Si's transformation from commoner to Great Qin Cheng shows that the rise of The Cold Gate is not an empty phrase, and that in an increasingly changing society, everyone can occupy a place in society with their knowledge or ability. But the question is, most of these truly talented people will gradually lose themselves, surrounded by flowers and applause all day long, if one day they will lose the fruits of their hard work, will they keep their hearts in the face of temptation? I hope that most people can adhere to their own principles, compromise can not be exchanged for the future, do not forget the original intention to continue to move forward.
