Qin Official

"People say that when birds fly back to their hometown, foxes will die before they die. They are old and old, and they know that their death is coming and they are no longer useful. There is a regent in the court, everything is on the right track, and the wise men in the world return like flowing water. In this way, the last concern of the old man is gone. I hope the regent will allow the old man to return to his hometown and bury his bones in his hometown."

Heifu tried to stay three times, but Li Si was determined and finally had no choice but to relent: "Since the old master has decided to leave, he and his eldest son will lead the yellow dog and go out to Cai Dongmen to chase the cunning rabbit. It is natural for them to be relaxed and happy. Then I won’t do anything to stop him. But Shangcai Shang, the old master’s hometown, is in the hands of the traitor Xiang and is in dilapidated state. How can the master return?”

"The regent's army marching eastward is like falling into a thousand-strong force and gathering it on a bird's egg. Chu will be unlucky. The regent can quickly conquer the world. But the old man is afraid that time is running out and he will die soon. I am afraid of waiting. Until that day comes, I just want to go to a place closer to home and see old things with similar water, land and customs to relieve my homesickness."

"When the regent expels the Xiang thieves from Shangcai, if the old man is still alive, he will rush over immediately to help the regent appease the people and make them submit to the king... I would like to express my gratitude to you for hearing the feelings of the flying birds and the foxes."

Heifu Jiaqi sincerely said that Li Si had made great contributions to the unification of Qin. In addition to the former title of Marquis Che, he added a thousand food households and five hundred guards to escort Li Si south to Nanyang Li County to live. The Li family was a wealthy man. There are some properties across the country, and there is also a large manor in Li County. It seems that Li Si has prepared a retreat long ago, and personally ordered that the counties along the way provide Li Si with meals...

There was no need to elaborate on the details of Hei Fu's dignity, such as seeing him off from Weiqiao in person. Li Si, on the other hand, after the car passed Ba Bridge and gradually left Xianyang, he whispered:

"Hei Fu is about to leave east. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid he won't be able to rest assured. He will take action against my family. Li Si will not repeat the death of the Meng brothers..."

Exiting the curtain at the right time is the climax of any outstanding performance, and this is something Li Si is proud of.

But the driver of the car didn't respond. Li Si frowned and kicked the driver's door: "Ah Yan, could it be that you are deaf? Why didn't you answer?"

After a while, a weak voice sounded: "Your Majesty, your eldest father has passed away, and the one driving for you is me..."

Li Si opened the car curtain and saw that the driver in front of him was no longer the familiar white-haired figure, but a young and strong young man with a perturbed face.

Only then did he remember that the old charioteer Ayan, who had been driving for him for more than thirty years and was even ordered to perform a "car accident" some time ago, had passed away. The job of driving had also been passed on to his grandson. Zi was skilled and loyal, but he did not dare to respond to Li Si's whispers.

"Yes, things have changed and people have changed..."

Li Si was silent and closed the car curtain again. After the Xianyang coup failed and Heifu took over, he understood the situation completely.

His time has passed...

The motorcade left Wuguan Road and headed towards Nanyang. This should have been a scene that Li Si was familiar with. He had an impression of the name of almost every pavilion. As Qin Shihuang's right-hand man in the city, Li Si had to accompany him almost every time he traveled. I have walked this road several times during my eastward tour, but this time, the feeling was different.

"Is this the last time I will practice this way?"

This reminded Li Si of the first time he came to Xianyang. He also entered Nanyang from Chu State and then went north along this road.

At that time, he was accompanied by only a trustworthy old servant who drove the carriage. Two packhorses pulled a simple carriage. There was no gold or silver in the carriage. It only contained many books that Li Si copied by himself when he was in Lanling. The cloth was brown. Shang, nothing else.

The most valuable thing at that time was the strategy in my heart...

In addition to the personal ambition of "getting ahead" and transforming from a toilet rat into a hamster, there was another thing that drove Li Si to join the Qin Dynasty, or another person, Li Si's enemy.

Wang Wan? Feng Quji? Zhao Gao?

Oh, they don't deserve it.

Li Si has only one enemy in his life, his dear junior brother, Han Fei!

…

Li Si remembered that he first met Han Xin in Lanling. At that time, Xunzi was invited by Lord Chun Shen and served as the Lanling Order. In addition to handling government affairs, he gave lectures.

As the "sacrificial wine" of Jixia Academy for three consecutive terms, Xunzi was the most famous scholar in the world. He traveled thousands of miles and countless scholars came to Lanling to study. Xunzi was very picky about his students, and only elites who could become talented were qualified to enter the palace. So Mao Heng, Gongsun Ni, Fu Qiubo and others gathered together, but they all studied rituals, music, poetry, and calligraphy. Only Li Si was pursuing " The Emperor's Art "Comes here, this is the essence of Xun Xue!"

And because of his talents and studiousness, he was the most valued by his master.

That year, red autumn leaves fell all over the academic circle of Lanling. A weakly crowned boy, surrounded by many followers and dressed in brocade, came to Lanling and stammered that he wanted to worship Xunmen.

At that time, Li Si didn't pay much attention to it. He thought he was another noble prince who was seeking fame from Xunzi and had no knowledge or skills. Unexpectedly, although this young man named Han Fei was not good at words, his heroic writings impressed everyone. Amazing!

The stepping stone he offered to become a disciple was "Jie Lao", which was his experience in reading Laozi in his spare time.

When Xunzi first read this article, he also smiled slightly and disagreed.

But when I saw the first sentence at the beginning of the chapter, "Virtue is from the inside. Gaining from the outside. Superior virtue is not virtuous, it means that the spirit is not lustful from the outside. If the spirit is not lustful from the outside, then the whole body will be healthy.", I smiled less. , get serious.

When he saw again, "When laws and regulations change, interests and harms change, and interests and harms change, civil affairs change. Changes in civil affairs are called changes in business. Therefore, if we look at it with principles, if we serve the masses and count them, we will rarely succeed." Xunzi was full of eyes. Surprised, I am already difficult to understand, how could such a young man have such a profound interpretation?

After a long time, after reading the article twice, Xunzi looked carefully at Han Fei, who had a serious face, and expressed the core of the whole article in one sentence.

"Tao generates law!"

But he also criticized: "Although you have drawn the ropes and ink, clearly understood the things, and clearly understood the right and wrong, but it was extremely tragic and harmed Shao En. It was originally meant to be moral, but Lao Tzu is far-reaching."

Only then did Han Fei become convinced. It was not just Xunzi who was testing him, he was also testing Xunzi.

After that, the most beloved student among the Xun family changed from Li Si to Han Fei.

Competition within the same sect is normal, such as Pang Juan and Sun Bin who are under Guiguzi's sect.

"Obviously I came first..."

Li Si was naturally dissatisfied, and secretly began to compare. He even wrote an article of his own on reading "Laozi".

After handing it in, Xunzi smiled and commented that the article was really good with good calligraphy, good writing style, and well-crafted ideas. The words were well-chosen and eloquent, and it could be called a heroic article.

"But, it's too superficial."

Han Fei submitted his second article to interpret Laozi's "Yu Lao", perhaps because he stuttered and could not speak, so he put all his thoughts in writing. He quoted from other sources and had clear logic. Xunzi even commented:

"Have bones!"

Li Si had to accept it. After reading it, he found that Han Fei's article was indeed as sharp as a knife and pointed directly at people's hearts!

At that time, Li Si understood that he was not as good as Han Fei in writing...

We can only compete from other places!

For example, assist the emperor and achieve eternal achievements!

So after completing his studies, when Li Si said goodbye to Xunzi, he bluntly stated his ambition:

"I am not idle when I hear this. Now when thousands of people are fighting, it is the wanderers who are in charge. Now the King of Qin wants to swallow up the world, proclaim himself the emperor and rule. This is the autumn of the days when the commoners are galloping and flying! The King of Chu has nothing to do, and the Six Kingdoms They are all weak and have nothing to contribute to, so they want to invade Qin from the west!"

At that time, Xunzi changed the tradition that great Confucian scholars did not enter the Qin Dynasty. He visited Xianyang and praised the Qin system. However, he felt that the only thing missing was the tenderness of the young Confucians. He sighed:

"Be pure and king, refute and be hegemonic, and no one will be destroyed. This is also the shortcoming of Qin."

"I'm not worried about whether Qin can unify the world, because it's destined. With you, as long as we meet a hero, the world will be unified in only thirty-four years. What I'm afraid of is that if we can do both, we can't unite. , can be unified but cannot be settled. When Qin unified the world, it was the beginning of its demise. Li Si, I only hope that you can bring some changes to Qin..."

It's a pity that Li Si didn't take it seriously at the time. He didn't want to change anything in Qin, he just wanted to change his own life and status. All the energy was put on being valued by Lu Buwei and gaining the political trust of the King of Qin.

He didn't expect that the master's words would come true.

More than ten years after entering the Qin Dynasty, when Li Si had become a court captain, gained the respect of the King of Qin, and realized his ambition in life, one day, after releasing the scroll, the King of Qin suddenly sighed: ァ新ヤ~8~1~中文网.x~8~1zщ.om

"The books "Gu Anger" and "Five Beetles" are really wonderful articles. When I read them, I don't realize that the candle is gradually exhausted, and the night is about to light up. I sigh, I can see this person wandering with me, and I will not hate it to death. That’s it!”

Li Si naturally knew that this was the masterpiece of his junior brother who was determined to "write books and establish explanations, and observe the gains and losses of those who pass by"!

I don't know what his mentality was, or he was jealous when Pang Juan took the initiative to recommend Sun Bin, or he knew that he could not prevent the King of Qin from getting what he wanted. Li Si suddenly began to praise Han Fei and urged him to summon Han Fei to Qin.

Troy and the Greek states fought for a beautiful woman, Helen, but Qin Wangzheng did not hesitate to launch a war for a man, a national warrior who touched him between the lines, and forced South Korea to hand over Han Fei!

When Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty, the King of Qin was either disappointed by his stuttering and difficulty in communicating, or the things he got were no longer attractive, so the King of Qin never trusted Han Fei.

But the King of Qin still often read Gu Ang, Wu Zhi, Internal and External Reserves, Shuo Lin, and Shuo Di Difficulty, and discussed with Han Fei how to become the kind of uniquely powerful monarch described in his books...

Afterwards, he often said with emotion: "Today we know that Xunzi really taught the emperor the knowledge."

The implication is that Li Si's is not the real emperor's school, Han Fei's is...

Jealousy brewed in Li Si's heart.

"Obviously I was the one who came first..." Li Si felt a huge sense of crisis. He understood that his and Han Fei's knowledge overlapped, and only one of them could stand out and stay with King Qin!

Fortunately, Li Si knew this junior brother very well and deliberately recommended Han Fei to join the Qin Dynasty because he knew that Han Fei had a fatal weakness.

"He loves his country so much!"

The opportunity came soon. When the King of Qin asked his ministers to discuss which country should be destroyed first, Li Si and Yao Jia advocated destroying Han first, but Han Fei stood up and tried his best to persuade the King of Qin to save Han.

"Han served Qin for more than thirty years. When he went out, he served as a defender, and when he went in, he served as a supporter. Qin sent out his sharp troops to seize the land, and Han followed. The resentment was spread all over the world, and the credit was attributed to Qin's strength."

Han Fei was very smart and must have understood the desires of the King of Qin, but he still could not let go of his identity as a Korean and the son of Han, and was rigidly focused on protecting the motherland.

From that moment on, Li Si knew that he had won!

Win in the pattern, win in the position!

In the end, it turned out to be true. King Qin began to doubt that Han Fei would end up with Han rather than Qin. He even remembered what happened to Zheng Guo and sent Han Fei to prison. Under the performances of Li Si and Yao Jia, one with a red face and the other with a black face, he finally decided to Execute Han Fei!

Not only did he not want Han Fei to be used by others, but also because the King of Qin's political intuition had thoroughly understood Han Fei's imperial studies and no longer needed him, no longer needed someone who could analyze the power struggle so straightforwardly...

When Li Si was ordered to go to Yunyang Prison to kill Han Fei, he couldn't help but satirize Han Fei proudly.

"Junior brother, do you know why you lost?"

"You failed because of the inconsistency between your words and deeds. On the one hand, you want to make King Qin a unique and wise king who can do whatever he wants without being restrained by anyone. But at the same time, you do not give up your loyalty. You blindly protect South Korea and obstruct the great cause of unification!"

"Do you regret it now?"

Han Fei, on the other hand, was very calm and said word by word: "I am writing books to be an emperor for all generations, but I myself have my own motherland, and I dare not forget it even for a moment!"

"Anything that is difficult to say can be answered properly if I know the meaning of what is being said."

"I know that the King of Qin will not accept the policy of keeping Han, but I don't regret it, at least I tried."

After saying this, drink the poison in one gulp!

Liston felt dull, which could only make Han Fei die in peace:

"Han."

"You want to keep it."

"I will destroy it!"

Han Fei closed his eyes, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.

That scene became Li Si's nightmare that lasted for a long time. After all, he was guilty of killing his fellow disciples. He could only comfort himself. No one could be soft-hearted. Only by winning the side would have the final say!

"Just wait, I will assist your Majesty to become the Three Emperors of Great Merit and the Saint King whose virtue surpasses the Five Emperors. Let Qin be able to live forever, and I will also become the prime minister praised forever!"

…

The past ended here. After waking up from the dream, Li Si opened his cloudy eyes. Accompanied by the shaking carriage, he had left Wuguan and arrived in Nanyang.

Li Si was sick. After all, he was nearly eighty years old. The exhaustion of the agency consumed a lot of energy. When he let go of his power and dignity, he felt as if his whole person collapsed.

He closed his eyes again, half asleep and half awake, and saw his master again. He was still so thin, sitting under the big mulberry tree in Lanling Academy, playing Zhao Di's music with his eyes closed, and singing the song of becoming a prime minister.

Li Si walked over, knelt down and sat in front of him. After listening to the song, he interrupted:

"My disciple is more talented and accomplished than Han Fei, but why does Master like Han Fei more?"

"Is it because he was born into a noble family and I am poor?"

"Is it because he is slow in words but quick in action? The articles he writes have bones, but I only have skin?"

"No."

Xunzi stopped playing the piano and looked at Li Si with some sadness. This disciple was now white-haired and his eyes were full of confusion. He no longer had the ambition and ambition he had when he entered Qin.

"Han Fei is a stone, hard, heavy and silent."

"He will never look back when he is sure of something. When he enters the water, he will create a huge wave that is unforgettable."

"And you, Li Si, are like a small boat, traveling on the sea, chasing the waves..."

He had no definite direction. He would follow whichever way the wind was strong, and all principles were thrown out the window.

"But the wind and waves stirred up by the stone are fleeting."

Li Siqiang argued: "Only by following the waves can still waters run deep!"

"Really?" Xunzi asked with a smile, looking behind Li Si.

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he found that the sea in his dream had dried up and subsided at some point, and the ships had also been stranded, withered by the wind and rain.

But the rocks next to the broken trees still stand!

Yes, Li Si remembered that the struggle between the two did not end with Han Fei's death.

The First Emperor of Qin has always adhered to Han Fei's imperial skills. He would read "Han Feizi" from time to time, and even asked Fusu and Hu Hai to read it.

In order to study the interests of the First Emperor, Li Si also had to study Han Feizi thoroughly and ate steamed buns with human blood...

This made Li Si feel that he had defeated Han Fei and forced him to death. He also realized his long-cherished wish to help the First Emperor unify the world. Under one man, he was superior to ten thousand people.

But Han Fei's ghost has been lingering on the pillars of Xianyang Palace, and even sat majestically on the steps of the ruling thought.

Han Fei died, but "Han Feizi" became an enemy that Li Si could never defeat, a hurdle that was difficult to overcome in his life, and a rock that stood on the road.

Although the waves caused by Han Fei were only temporary, Li Si, as a wave maker, was also only temporary. When the sea water cleared, the ship also withdrew from the stage of history with the water, but the reef lay quietly and saw the light of day again!

What's even more sad is that Li Si couldn't stick to his own opinion like Han Fei, but became a domestic slave with three surnames.

He was also abandoned by the times.

"Did I...lose?"

Suddenly, everything felt insignificant, those mechanisms were gone, those that went with the flow, those compromises, concessions, forbearance, and betrayal.

Li Si only felt that everyone was looking at him. It was the master's high hopes, Han Fei's sigh, Lu Buwei's Bai Ling, Qin Shi Huang's trust, and even Feng Quji's trust.

Yes, despite countless ups and downs, he chose to go with the flow in the end, leaving Chu State, betraying Lu Buwei, compromising to the First Emperor's desires, and betraying his edict, and never persisted to the end.

But now, they are all dead, and he is the only one who has survived, stood on the right team for the last time, and can make the family rich, Heifu does not dare to embarrass him easily.

But is this Li Si’s pursuit in this life? New 81 Chinese website mobile terminal::

Li Si murmured to himself:

"The First Emperor of Qin wanted to possess everything forever, but when his orders came suddenly, he couldn't take anything with him."

"And I wanted to leave something behind, but in the end, I left nothing behind. For the rest of my life, I spent the rest of my life relying on chewing your doctrines and constantly betraying my old master..."

"I lost." Li Si finally admitted this. This long struggle has finally come to an end.

"However, in terms of final success or failure, we all lose. The winner is Zhang Cang, the younger junior brother who was the last to go to Lanling and the last to enter Qin..."

Li Si laughed miserably, but his voice gradually became lower.

"Junhou, Li County has arrived."

The car stopped, the charioteer called out, and opened the car curtain, only to smell a foul stench.

He pinched his nose and came closer, only to find that Li Si's eyes were wide open and he was bursting with tears. However, he had long since lost his breath and died in the car. He died in a disgraceful manner, even before he died...

I took a poop, it smells so bad!

ps: Chapter 2 is at night, it will be very late.
