On the road to the growth of the Qin Dynasty, there is one person who has to be mentioned, and this is Li Si. Whether economically, culturally or politically, Li Si's contribution to the Qin Dynasty cannot be ignored. For the development of the Qin Dynasty, he has always been dedicated and conscientious.
Why did the person who made such a contribution to the Qin Dynasty already be under one person and above ten thousand, and Li Si, who became the prime minister, betrayed Qin Shi Huang. And in the end, Li Si was also beheaded. So what was the reason for Li Si's betrayal of Qin Shi Huang? And after his death,The cross mantra he left behind: "Kou to Xianyang, elk swim in the court."AlsoIt has also come trueSo why did he do that at the time?
01 Tampering with the edict.
Because of Li Si's great contribution to the Qin State, Qin Shi Huang trusted him very much. Moreover, in terms of politics, Li Si is very consistent with many views of Qin Shi Huang. Even sometimes, two people disagree. If he felt that what Qin Shi Huang said was also reasonable, Li Si would also listen to Qin Shi Huang.
Therefore, Qin Shi Huang has always adhered to a trusting attitude towards contributors and contributors like Li Si. For the edict, he did not shy away from talking to him. And Li Si also became the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, under one person and above ten thousand.
It was also because of the high degree of trust in him that the edict was also given to him, so that he could keep it and read it later. But he listened to Zhao Gao's slanderBetrayed the trust of Qin Shi Huang. Secretly changed the edict, the son Fusu who was established in the edict succeeded to the throne, and he became Hu Hai.
Of course, after all, a person who is the prime minister, based on only a few words from Zhao Gao, Li Si will definitely not do such a thing as tampering with the edict. It must involve one's own interests and be closely related to oneself to do so.
In his early years, Li Si was in his hometown. Engaged in, guarding the granary, recording the work of the granary. Not to mention stable work, you can also go home to spend time with your family. Originally, life was like this, but until this day, Lees's thoughts changed drastically.
On this day, when he went to the toilet, he found that the rats in the toilet were very thin. It was very different from the rats he had seen in the granary before, which was fat and big. He also thought about the problems of people and the environmentIf a person is in a good environment, he will grow up quickly and well. On the contrary, it will not be so good that it will not be good.
It was the thinking of this person and the environment that made him have the idea of tampering with the edict. Because Gongzi Fusu was not very close to him, and Li Si himself advocated governing the country by law, but Gongzi Fusu advocated Confucian theory. After thinking about it like this, Li Si felt that if it was Gongzi Fusu who inherited the unification, it would indeed be not very beneficial to him.
In addition, Zhao Gao fanned the flames in his ears and offered slander. In the end, Li Si made a decision, and this decision was harmful and not beneficial to Li Si, Qin Shi Huang and the Qin Dynasty. However, this was all after the edict was changed, and Li Si had no way of predicting it.
02 Tragic ending.
In this way, for their own long-term glory and interests. Li Si chose Hu Hai,Even though Li Si knew that Hu Hai was overwhelmed. Gongzi Fusu wants to be talented, benevolent and benevolent, but he still chose Hu Hai. Because he felt that only in this way could he keep his phase.
It is precisely because of Hu Hai's incompetence and the absence of a strong maternal clan to support him that he can be better controlled. Unlike Gongzi Fusu, he has his own ideas and the support of the general. That's why Li Si chose Hu Hai and gave up Gongzi Fusu. But there is one thing he neglected, that is, Hu Hai also has someone close to him, that is, Zhao Gao.
After that, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne according to the "edict". Originally, the government affairs of the Qin State were all managed by Li Si before, because he was the prime minister. Thinking that after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, his power could be continued. But the truth was not what he wanted, because Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were closer, so he handed over the power of handling government affairs to Zhao Gao.
Not only that, after Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, not only did he not manage the country well and handle government affairs, but he became even more brutal. Li Si wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Gao. The people are also miserable, and there are constant uprisings in various places.
And it was Li Si's son who was responsible for suppressing the uprising, because the uprising could not be quelled. Someone with a heart said that Li Si's son was ineffective and wanted to punish him, and Li Si was very worried after hearing it. After all, it is now Hu Hai who is succeeding to the throne, and although he is the prime minister, he has no right to speak.
After that,Li Si in order to gain Hu Hai's trust. Dedicated to Hu HaijinThe art of accountabilityThis "art of supervision" is a set of harsh laws designed by Li Si and the king's arbitrary statecraft. In fact, its main purpose is to make ministers and ordinary people obedient, not to punish for the sake of punishment. But because Hu Hai was already brutal, he only saw punishment.
Li Si also advocated that the emperor should have his own opinions, not be disturbed by the ministers, and make his own decisions. He believed that only in this way would the monarch be able to act according to his own ideas and do whatever he wanted, and the ministers would be obedient and obedient, and the people would not dare to rebel. Only then can the king's position be more stable, and the dynasty can last longer.
ButThe art of accountabilityAfter that, Hu Hai became even more unscrupulous and reckless. Because Hu Hai didn't care about the government, Zhao Gao's power was getting bigger and bigger. Regarding Li Si's advances, Hu Hai turned a deaf ear and even felt very impatient.
Later, Zhao Gao told Hu Hai that Li Si had a bad heart, and Hu Hai also felt very impatient because of Li Si's repeated remarks, so he listened to Zhao Gao's words. ordered a thorough investigation of Li Si, because Zhao Gao had been prepared, Li Si was sent to prison by the so-called evidence.
Later, because of Zhao Gao's torture, Li Si admitted Zhao Gao'an's charges against him. Not only was he beheaded in half, but his own people were also beheaded. For his ending, Li Si didn't know if he regretted it, regretting that he gave up the plain and stable life in his hometown and came to Qin.
Do you regret that you listened to Zhao Gao's slander because of your own selfish interests? not only harmed himself, but also betrayed Qin Shi Huang's trust in himIn the end, the Qin Dynasty really became "Kou to Xianyang, elk to the court."AlsoThe situation.
03 Summary. Li Si, success is also "rat theory", defeat is also "rat theory". Because of the environment, he worked hard from a petty official to the prime minister of Qin. and because of his own interests, he betrayed Qin Shi Huang and finally ended up like this. Li Si spent his whole life thinking about how to maximize his own interests, but he never thought that it was because he asked too much that he got nothing in the end.
was originally very popular with Qin Shi Huang, but because of a wrong step,Left behind this lifetime of infamy. One wrong step, one wrong step. not only harmed himself, but also affected his family. Therefore, no matter where you are, you must always stay sober, and you must not lose your life because of a moment of confusion.
