Watching "Great Qin Fu", you can know that Mao Jiao is a smart person, and on the issue of targeting Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, Yin Zheng has killed 27 people, and Mao Jiao is 28 people who said this matter.
However, he was not killed, this is the intelligent man! Why did the government want to kill the people who proposed to release the empress?
I believe everyone knows that after Consort Yi was in chaos and took power, he gave Consort Yi to the five horses to split the body, and the two sons of Consort Yi and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji were also thrown to death by Ying Zheng.
Zhao Ji was his mother, and he couldn't kill his own mother. However, he could not let Zhao Ji go, and if such a person was released, in the eyes of Yin Zheng, he could only humiliate and conspicuous people and smear himself.
Therefore, he put Empress Dowager Zhao Ji under house arrest and told the chancellor that if anyone dared to make a suggestion, he would let him let Zhao Ji go, no matter who it was, he would lose his head.
This is not talking about playing, it can be seen that Yingzheng is still very cruel to Zhao Ji, if it were not for the mother-son relationship, Zhao Ji would have been killed a long time ago.
From the time Yin Zheng killed Concubine Yi and fell to his brother to death, you can also see his viciousness! It is reasonable to say that such a thing is the shame of Yingzheng, who does not want to be mentioned, and it is only a matter of time for others not to mention it!
However, there were only some people who were not afraid of death, and there were even 27 people, all of whom were killed for giving Empress Dowager Zhao Ji to Ying Zheng. I wonder what these 27 people thought at the time?
What Yin Zheng couldn't imagine was that there was even the 28th one who was not afraid of death, and this person was Mao Jiao!
Mao Jiao also proposed to let Yin Zheng let go of the empress, Yin Zheng did not say a word to tell his subordinates, to cook Mao Jiao, the pot is set up, just wait for the pot?
However, Mao Jiao said a word that made Yingzheng change his original intention.
He said that Yingzheng had killed his brother and imprisoned his mother, which was a disgrace to the people of the world. If it is because Mao Jiao proposed to let Yin Zheng let his mother be killed, this can only prove that Yin Zheng is a faint prince, and Mao Jiao will also leave a name for eternity.
Yin Zheng originally wanted to kill Mao Jiao, but in the end, after thinking about it, in order not to achieve Mao Jiao's loyal and direct advice, he chose to let him go and not let him die.
This is the general meaning expressed in the Great Qin Fu.
In fact, the records in the "Records of History" are not like this, at least not exactly, in the "Records of History", Mao Jiao said it more thoroughly, and Ying Zheng only released Mao Jiao because he listened to it.
The original historical record Mao Jiao said that Yin Zheng killed his own righteous father, imprisoned his mother, and fell to his brother' death. Such a thing is not done by a good king.
To put it bluntly, even animals and animals can't do such a thing!
If everyone in the world knew that Yingzheng, the king, was a cruel man, he could not tolerate even his own mother, and he also killed those courtiers who suggested letting go of their mothers, one by one.
So which courtier would dare to serve the Qin King?
Looking at what Yingzheng did, it was clear that the six relatives did not recognize and killed innocents indiscriminately! For the sake of their own lives, no one dared to go near such a king.
Obviously, this is inconsistent with Yingzheng's desire to unify the world, if there is no talent to assist, how can you unify the world?
If you want to unify the world, you must let go of your mother and treat your courtiers kindly, so that there will be a steady stream of talents to serve you.
It was Mao Jiao who said such a thing, and Yin Zheng listened to it, and then he released Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. Mao Jiao was also reused by Yingzheng.
This is where the government is wise, and it is also the reason why he can unify the world.
To put it bluntly, he is a person who knows that he is wrong and changes it, and if he does something wrong, someone can point it out to him and make sense, and he will follow this person's advice.
As a result, Mao Jiao survived after 27 people were killed. The reason why Mao Jiao was able to survive was because he grasped the psychology of Yingzheng.
What Yin Zheng wants most is the world and unifies the world, and only by writing in this regard can it be possible to save his life while releasing Zhao Ji.
Therefore, Mao Jiao combined Zhao Ji with Detianxia and finally persuaded Yin Zheng. Therefore, it has also achieved its own reputation.
