Li Si's counterattack from toilet rat to hamster.
Li Si used to be a petty official in Shangcai, Chu State, once he saw the rats in the toilet skinny, and he panicked when he saw people and dogs, but those rats in the granary were fat and strong, and he was not afraid when he saw people, which gave him a lot of inspiration.
So he went to the Confucian master Xun Qing (Xunzi) to learn the imperial art of governing the country, and after learning it, he went to the Qin state after weighing.
In the Qin State, he worshiped under the Xiangguo Lü Buwei Gate, and thus had the opportunity to contact the Qin King Yingzheng and gain room for speech.
Later, in order to consume the national strength of the Qin State, South Korea sent the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to build a canal for the Qin State, and later this conspiracy was revealed, so many people suggested expelling non-Qin people, and Li Si was naturally among the expulsions.
So Li Si wrote to Ying Zheng, which is the famous "Book of Exhortations to the Guest" in history, in which he justifiably listed the cases of foreigners in the history of Qin who had made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of Qin, so as to conclude that the expulsion of foreigners was a wrong decision, and later Ying Zheng accepted his point of view and kept him.
Li Si, who stayed behind, assisted Yingzheng in unifying the six countries and established the Qin Dynasty, which was the most centralized power, and he also reached the pinnacle of his life and became the prime minister of the dynasty, ranking above 10,000 people under one person.
However, Li Si's life also has two stains, one is that he killed his classmate Han Feizi with a trick.
Another stain directly brought him ruin, that is, in the Dune Change, he did not adhere to his principles, and teamed up with Zhao Gao to revise the edict of Qin Shi Huang, forcing his son Fusu to death and pushing Hu Hai to the throne.
After controlling the power, Zhao Gao regarded Li Si as a thorn in the flesh, so he designed to get rid of him.
When Li Si said to his son that he would like to be able to enjoy the sunset with the yellow dog in Shangcai again, his life also came to an end, and he was cut off on the street of Xianyang, and everything ended like this.
However, Li Si's counterattack story still gives us a lot of inspiration today, that is, if you want to break through in life, you must have the courage to break through the original environment, find a higher platform and space, and find your own nobles who are good at grasping various opportunities for counterattack.
