From the small official of the Chu State to the prime minister of the Great Qin, the different encounters of the two mice
Who says that the little things that happen in the journey of life can't change fate?
Li Si's extraordinary life, from a small clerk in the Chu State to the prime minister of the Qin State, is the result of the different fates of the two mice. He left his comfortable home and entered the official career; He knows how to live and continues to learn; He understands time and crosses the King of Qin; He became a strategist and eventually the prime minister of Qin. Li Si's life was full of ups and downs, but he achieved a career by chance.
i.Two mice he met by chance when he was young inspired Li Si.
Li Si, the word Zhong, was a native of Chu in the middle of the Warring States period, and his family was an official for generations. Li Si has been brilliant, talented, and ambitious since childhood. Although he came from an ordinary background, he was unwilling to be mediocre and always wanted to change his fate.
At the end of a street in Shangcai County, Chu State, stands the dilapidated hut where Li Si lived. Every morning, his mother would wake up Li Si, who was still asleep, and ask him to report to the district office. Li Si barely got up, hurriedly drank a few sips of soy milk, and went out with his briefcase.
Li Si worked as a junior clerk in the Chuzhou District Court for several years. At first glance, this seems to be an iron rice bowl, allowing Li Si to avoid the hardships of living on the streets. However, Lees was not satisfied with this position, and he did not want to be buried in this position for the rest of his life. Lees was not satisfied with this, he wanted to have power and one day achieve a career.
On this day, Li Si went to work at the district court as usual, and after work he went to the grass toilet at the back of the courthouse. As he opened the vague curtain, a foul stench came over his face. Li Si frowned, but gritted his teeth and walked in.
At the foot of the wall of the straw toilet, two fat rats are gnawing on the residue of their feces. Their fur is sticky and oily, and they are surrounded by dirt, but they don't care about smells. Whenever someone passes by the toilet, the rats prick up their ears and prepare to run away.
But the fleeting scene caused ripples in Reese's heart. He looked at the rats that were still living in their primitive environment and fell into deep thought.
That day, Li Si did not go home directly after work, but went to the district **. When he opened the door to the storeroom, a smell of rice immediately came to his nose. Li Si walked into the storage room and saw a big fat rat squatting in the corner, nibbling on a bucket of fresh rice. It didn't seem to be afraid of people at all, it just buried its head and ate by itself, which was very different from what Li Si had seen before.
Hamsters and toilet rats are obviously the same species, so why are they so different? Li Si couldn't help but think that the fate of human beings may not depend entirely on themselves, but are deeply affected by the environment.
At that moment, Li Si suddenly brightened up and was determined to change his current situation. Although the county order is an iron rice bowl, he doesn't want to stop there, but wants to jump out of this quagmire and find a stage that is more conducive to his own development.
The different fates of the two rats became the motivation for Lee.
Fourth, the opportunity to change his life. Li Si will transform from a straw toilet into a mansion to complete his beautiful transformation.
Second, his ambitions were difficult to realize, and Li Si left his hometown to continue his studies.
When Lees realized the impact of the environment on people, he decided to get out of the situation. He thinks he's like a rat in a grass toilet right now, and even if he keeps trying, it's hard to climb to the top.
Therefore, he resigned from the post of judge of the state of Chu. Having lost his rare comfort, Lees decided to face the unknown risk and give himself a chance to turn around.
Li Si left his wife and children, left the state of Chu, and went to the state of Qi alone. Qi was the ideological and cultural center at that time, and Li Si wanted to go to Qi to study. He also heard that Xunzi, a famous scholar of the Qi State, had opened a school to spread Confucianism, and Li Si was very interested in it.
Li Si came to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and finally met Xunzi after hard work. Xunzi was rigorous and arrogant, Li Si respected him as a teacher, Xunzi looked him up and down with a cold face, and reluctantly agreed.
Li Si entered Xunzi's class, studied hard, and finally won Xunzi's favor. What made him even happier was that he met the young and promising Han Fei at Xunzi's house. The two were of similar age, like-minded, and soon became good friends. Li Si thought that in the future, he might be able to conspire with Han Fei to take a half-official position and create a career together.
But the good times didn't last long. Just when Li Si was full of hope, the Xunzi School was suddenly disbanded. The king of Qi suspected Xunzi and put him under house arrest. Li Si and Han Fei had no choice but to say goodbye for the time being and go their separate ways.
After leaving Xunzi's school, Li Si came to Chenzhou and began to live there. At that time, Li Si was a little melancholy, because he had not yet studied Confucianism and realized his ambitions. He began to think about the reason for his study - by chance, King Chu Huai organized an examination to select talents, Li Si had an idea, signed up, and the result stood out, and King Chu Huai appointed him as a small official.
Li Si was re-admitted to the civil service and began his career. He doesn't forget his original intention and motivates himself to work hard and accumulate experience. Li Si knew in his heart that this was just a stepping stone on his life path, but his ambition was much more than that.
Third, Li Si knew people well and gave advice to the king of Qin.
At the end of the Warring States period, the situation was complicated, and all countries were trying to reform in order to become stronger. Li Si, who is good at observing words and feelings, believes that the Qin State has the potential to dominate the world. If he wants to achieve his ambitions, he must seize this opportunity!
In desperation, Li Si decided to leave the state of Chu and go to the state of Qin alone to find a job. Chu State is like a rat in a pit to him, and he is about to rush to the mansion!
At that time, the national strength of the Qin State was declining, and the only person with real power was Prime Minister Lü Buwei. Li Si realized that if he wanted to regain the reuse of King Qin, he had to win Lü Buwei's heart. So, he visited Lü Buwei and quickly won him his heart.
Li Si took the opportunity to curry favor with Lü Buwei on the one hand, and secretly observed the character of King Qin. When he saw that the King of Qin was diligent and studious, and had great ambitions, he decided to approach the King of Qin in person. This gave Li Si the opportunity to get to know King Qin.
When Li Si met the King of Qin, he stated his political ideas to the King of Qin with his long arms and clever tongue. Li Si was very enthusiastic about the ideal of unifying the six countries and achieving hegemony, and he also put forward many positive political propositions. Lees's suggestion was innovative and highly appreciated by the king.
Later, Li Si often gave advice to the King of Qin and proposed a series of statecraft, which was deeply valued by the King of Qin. Li Si's intelligence also made him rise rapidly in the Qin State, and soon became an indispensable and important person by the side of the King of Qin.
Li Si seized the historical opportunity to revitalize the Qin state. Under his leadership, King Yingzheng of Qin gradually unified the Six Kingdoms and established the Qin Empire. Li Si himself also rose step by step, helping the King of Qin to take advantage of the situation and was promoted to the prime minister of Qin.
Four: Li Si is loyal to the king of Qin, and the official is the prime minister of Qin.
During his time in the Qin state, Li Si advised the Qin king on many occasions, and his unique views on the politics of the Qin state were highly valued by the Qin king. One of his suggestions cemented Li Si's position as prime minister of the Qin state.
In the same year that Qin destroyed Han, King Qin released"Exile Order", expelled the inhabitants of the Six Nations, and many important ministers, including Li Si, were repatriated. Faced with the crisis of losing his official position, Li Si wrote a letter of recommendation to the King of Qin.
In the table of this chapter, Li Si clearly points out the drawbacks of the expulsion order, and argues that the inhabitants of the Six Kingdoms played an important role in the development of the Qin state. He quoted scriptures, was clearly organized, and advised the king of Qin to think twice. Li Si's suggestion made the king of Qin wake up, and he quickly withdrew his order and resumed his position as the ** of the Six Kingdoms.
Lees's words were earnest and reasonable, and the king recognized his mistake and avoided a major mistake in national policy. The king was impressed by Leas and trusted him even more. Soon after, Li Si was appointed lieutenant and became an important minister of the imperial court.
With the help of Li Si, the King of Qin annexed the countries one by one, and finally completed the great cause of unification and established the Qin Dynasty. Li Si was also an official in the highest ruling group, and was appointed prime minister by Qin Shi Huang, becoming an important ** in charge of Qin's state affairs.
Li Si went from a small county official to the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and finally experienced from"Grass toilets"to"Mansions"The wonderful metamorphosis. If it weren't for the inspirational chance encounter when he was young, if he didn't have the ambition to leave his hometown to study, and if he didn't have the determination to defect to King Qin, Li Si would not have today's suffering.
v.Sentimental, Li Xi's life is full of misfortunes.
When Lees stood at the pinnacle of his life, he couldn't help but think of the story of the two mice that inspired his destiny when he was a teenager. He was not happy with his current success, but was full of emotion.
Back then, Li Si stepped down from the iron rice bowl of Chu State, and he also wanted to live a peaceful life. Looking back now, perhaps the decision he made at that time was the path he should have taken in life.
The occasional inspiration of this young man really changed Li Si's life. Life is in the world of destiny, but everyone is responsible for their own life. In the face of adversity, embracing change can be the key to influencing fate.
Li Xi's life is indeed full of legends, but his later years were not so satisfying. He gradually lost ground in the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty and was eventually killed by Qin II. Despite this, his story has become a popular story and has been told for thousands of years.
The difficulties at the end of life cannot hide the brilliance of life's journey. Li Xi's journey from a minor official to a prime minister is still a glorious journey worthy of being remembered and learned by future generations. No matter how fate goes through its ups and downs, the meaning of life is to live life to the fullest.
