208 BC, The people of the Qin Dynasty gathered at the execution ground to watch a showSpecial executions.
The uniqueness of this punishment is that:It was not the common people who were executed that day, but the respected minister of a country, Li Si.
When it was time for the execution,The five extremely cruel punishments were all on Li Si, and in the end, he didn't leave a whole corpse.
YesLisHe was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and he devoted his life to the Great Qin and helped Qin Shi Huang complete the great cause of unification.
How could Li Si, who had made great contributions, end up so miserable?
Actually,The beginning of all the misery has to start with Li Si's defection to the Qin State and serving Qin Shi Huang.
LisHe is a native of Chu, very talented and learned, and he used to be thereXunziStudying under the door, he is one of Xunzi's more proud protégés.
It's a pity,What you want to do in Chu is not your ability, but your background.
As an outlier of the Warring States, the state of Chu retains a relatively complete feudal system and blood aristocracy, and if you want to be a general and enter a high position in the state of Chu, you must first be born in a famous family.
Unfortunately,Lis's background is humble, so he is destined to be unsuccessful in the Chu State.
Luckily,At that time, there were seven companies in the world, and Chu couldn't mix it, so change the boss and go to other countries!
Where to go? Qin, of course.
There are two reasons for thisFirst, Qin State's capable person is really able to mix up, fromQin Xiaogong's martingaleSince then, the prime ministers of the Qin State have basically been all from the Six Kingdoms, and the people at the bottom have an upward channel and the motivation to struggle.
Second, Qin is very strong, among the seven countries at that time, Qin is the strongest, and it is also the most promising to unify the six countriesIf people want to make contributions, they must stand on the right side, moving against the times, there is no good end.
So,LisPacked up his luggage and went to the Qin State, which happened to be the prime minister of the Qin State at that timeLü BuweiWe are recruiting customers and repairing books for ourselves.
InLü BuweiAfter two years of mixing with the door, something terrible happened!
Qin Shi HuangThe mother, Empress Dowager Zhao, had a lover calledChang Yu, which was recommended by Lü Buwei.
In fact, this is not a thing, the pre-Qin people were open, and the moral standards for widowed women were not so high.
PlusQin Shi HuangSince childhood, he has been his own dadKing Qin Xiangwen, Thrown in Zhao Guo and his mother depended on each other, and his father left two days after returning to China.
Therefore, it is really unlikely that Qin Shi Huang will have a good impression of his father, compared to his mother who has been with him for so many years, it is forgivable to live a normal life.
Qin Shi HuangGive it backChang Yusealed the marquis, so that his mother could communicate with him privately.
It's okay to say that this is the end of the matter, it's not a big deal, but this oneChang YuThe heart is really big, and I want to rebel!
There's not much to sayQin Shi HuangHe was torn apart by thunder, and then fell to his deathChang Yu and Empress Dowager Zhaoof two sons.
After that, I found out along the vineLü Buwei, the aftermath of angerQin Shi Huang, first deposedLü Buweiand then ordered Lü Buwei to move to Bashu.
At the timeBashuIt was the place where the Qin State exiled the prisoners, and after Chang Yu's rebellion was put down, the comrades who participated in the rebellion were all sent to Bashu by Qin Shi Huang.
YesLü BuweiFeeling that his dignity had been greatly damaged, he committed suicide!
Lü Buwei's death doesn't matter, after his death, another shocking case broke outZheng Guo, the person in charge of repairing Zheng Guoqu, turned out to be a spy in South Korea!
This ring is one ring after another, all of them are not amazing, and they are endless!
StimulatedQin Shi HuangAt the instigation of some people, he made an extremely confused decision and ordered all the people from the Six Kingdoms working in the Qin State to get out!
LisNaturally, he was among them, but he was unwilling, and finally just got a job in Qin State, so he was directly swept away, so he wrote an article for thisThe Book of Exhortations, to persuade Qin Shi Huang not to do such a stupid thing.
At that time, after Qin Shi Huang ordered the expulsion of the people of the Six Kingdoms, he already regretted it, because his mother was from the Zhao KingdomThen he, a Qin and Zhao half-blood, should he also be the first to get out?
Besides, count upwards and make laws for the Qin StateShang martingaleIt was a foreigner who formulated diplomatic relations policy for the Qin stateZhang YiIt was a foreigner who built Dujiangyan for the Qin StateLi BingIt was also a foreigner, even from the Qin State at that timeGeneral MontessoriThe clan is also from the Qi country.
As for how many people from the Six Kingdoms at the bottom are officials in the Qin State, it is even more countless, and they are all driven awayState of QinWhat a!
Lees's bookIt's kind of standing on the tuyere, let'sQin Shi HuangImmediately repealed the previous decree, and fell in love with the talented Li Si at a glance.
From this,LisSkip the middleman, go straight with the wholesale store ownerYingzhengSuccessful meeting.
Then,Li Si went to the Six Nations with a large amount of gold and silver, so what did he do?
LisHe is a man who understands, and he understands what he wantsQin Shi Huangmust come up with enough merit to prove their ability.
However, after carefully studying the old track of the Qin State,LisSomewhat disappointed to find outQin Guo was too complete before, and there were not many opportunities for him to overtake in corners.
The legal system isShang martingaleYes, there is no big problem now, the policy of diplomatic relationsZhang Yi, Fan Ju's strategy is almost invincible, and as for leading the troops to fight, looking at his thin body, it is obviously not his own strength.
So how can you do it the fastest?
Li Si thought about it and felt that it seemed that he should know about the people of the Six Kingdoms, right?
So,LisIt was proposed to Qin Shi Huang"Discord meter".recommendations.
Actually, to say"Discord meter".This trick,State of QinI've played it before, but, sinceBattle of HandanLater, because the Qin State was not in a posture with the Six Kingdoms, it was a tough battle or a retreatHangu PassIt has been a long time since there has been no breakthrough in the policy of diplomatic relations between the six countries.
LisIf you want to go, let him try.
After that,LisWith a large amount of funds from the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang, he went to Korea, Wei, Qi and Chu to discuss various cooperation with Qin.
StillLisHow much of a role does it play in the discordant underground work? Actually, it's hard to say.
Because there is no obvious record in the history books, but Li Si has another job that he has found very well, that isLooking for professional talent?
The son of the small official at the city gate of the Wei StateYao Jia, and the vertical and horizontal family and famous master of Qi countryWeak, after being favored by Li Sixiang, recommended to Qin Shi Huang.
Compared with Li Si, these two are professional underground work talents, bribing Zhao Guo's traitorous ministersGuo KaiTake out the famous generalsLi Mu, to win over the traitors of the Qi StateAfter winning, so that the state of Qi sat back and watched the decline of the five kingdoms and then surrendered, using the nobles in Chu to make the state of Chu fight a decisive battle with the Qin army in Huaibei.
The underground workers of the Qin Dynasty played a better role in the Qin Sixth Middle School than the 200,000 army.
Therefore, relying on the merits of underground work,LisHe was promoted to guest secretary.
StillLisThe essence is still Legalism, biased towards governing the country, and after he returned to Qin, he was appointed by Qin Shi HuangTingweiResponsible for the administration of justice.
It seems that as a judicial court lieutenant, he was obviously not conspicuous during the war of great unification, which is not to understand the actual situation of the Qin State at that time.
Shang martingaleattaches great importance to the legal education of the Qin State, this is not a joke, think about the story of Shang Ying's suicide, an ordinary innkeeper knows to abide by Shang Ying's laws, this kind of law popularization story is simply a myth at the time.
And in addition to the legal education of the people,Shang martingaleIt is also very important to educate the legal system of ** and the army, and each county will set up a county supervisor, and the county has a county supervisor, who is responsible for local judicial affairs and is directly under the jurisdiction of the court captain.
In addition, the Qin State and the Western Han Dynasty, which inherited the Qin ** team system, attached great importance to the army's military merit assessment and the implementation of military law, and the military judges in the army were also directly under the control of the court captain.
At this point, you might as well take a look at the beheading records of the Qin State during the Western Han Dynasty and the Warring States PeriodBasically, there will be no empty words such as tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, etc., and the beheading value is very clear, tens of thousands.
The Western Han Dynasty is too guarded in the cloudsWei Shang, and was even more misrepresented for six headsEmperor Wen of HanPunish.
And why the emperor can know so much depends on the military judges in the army.
To this end,LisThe position was very important, equivalent to the eyes and ears of the emperor in the army. It effectively guarantees that in frequent wars, there will be no generals who sit big and endanger the imperial power.
Relying on this merit,After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Li Si was worshiped as the prime minister by Qin Shi Huang, and was named the Marquis of Implementation, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.
Maybe Li Si himself couldn't have imagined that in the near future, he would not only lose his reputation for the rest of his life, but also end up with the destruction of the three clans.
So what made this unified minister end so miserable?
210 BCQin Shi HuangSuddenly fell ill and died on the way to the parade, ordered by Qin Shi Huang before his deathFusuEnthronement.
And then,Zhao GaoThe performance began, and he wanted to make his studentsHu HaiEnthronement. But how easy is that?
Although the CRRC Ling Zhao Gao is not low in power, due to the physiological gap and the lack of prestige in the court, no one believes what he says, and he must find someone who everyone believes in to endorse him, so who is the right person for this? Yes, definitelyLisFinish.
LisDeeply cultivated in the court of the Qin State30 years, and deeply trusted by Qin Shi Huang, whether it is merit or prosperity, it has a strong persuasive power.
To this end,Zhao Gao found Li Si, Zhao Gao said that the reason for serving Li Si is also very simple.
Which is more beneficial to you, a wise king who has a deep relationship with a great general, or a clumsy king who has no roots in the court?
This doesn't need to be asked, for the whole process, it must be a king who is easy to fool in IQ and has no foundation in the court to deal with!
So,Li Si and Zhao GaoThe edict was written firstFusuself-cutting, and killed the generalMeng Tian, and then Li Si wrote another edict, letHu HaiSuccession.
Li Si thought that he had succeeded and could master the Qin State, but what he didn't expect wasZhao Gao, a eunuch who had been hiding in the shadows, wanted his life from the beginning!
Li Si looked down on Zhao Gao, I think Zhao Gao is so great, a eunuch who can only opportunistically please the emperor.
He believes that as long as Hu Hai is not stupid, he will not do anything to himself, the pillar of the empire.
It's a pity that he was completely wrong, first of all,Zhao Gao really can't govern the country, but he is very perineous.
Secondly,Hu Hai's IQ is indeed not stupid, but not at home at all.
The results are inBattle of the Great DeerAt the critical moment, he was raising food and grass for the front lineLis, beenZhao GaoDestroyed the three tribes on the charge of rebellion!
208 BCLi Si was exterminated by the three clans.
In the same year, after the Battle of Julu, Qin GeneralZhang HanLed in despair200,000 Qin troopsSurrender.
The following year,Qin II Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao, then Zhao Gao was killed by Ziying, and then the Qin dynasty fell.
It is understandable that people have selfish intentions, but they cannot put selfishness above the general interests of the country!
LisI have always believed that people's experiences are like rats in toilets and warehouses, and what kind of life depends on what kind of platform people are on?
For this reason, he has been working hard to drill the camp, which is not wrongBut Li Si ignored a very important question, whether it is a warehouse or a toilet, are they built by people?
And once these places collapse, the rats inside will also die, at least losing the stable life they once had.
It's a pity,LisAlthough he understands that he will try his best not to let the Qin Empire collapse,However, the monarch and partners he chose for himself, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, did not understand this truth at all.
So the Qin State perished, and none of these three ended well, but who to blame? Don't complain? They all deserve it.
