Chapter 55: Hu Hai, born a bad boy, cannot be saved
“Master Fusu believes in benevolent government, so the king will find a place for Master Fusu to use the benevolent government he understands to change.”
“Some things, when I am not in my place, it is easy to point fingers. I always feel that I can do it, but I can’t do it. Only when you really put them through it will they realize that things are not as easy as they think. It’s really impossible for them to do it.” !”
Ying Zheng nodded, convinced that he had experienced many things before he became mature today.
Li Nian remembered a movie he had seen. In order to change his playboy son, a rich father built a small town and hired a group of actors to make his son mistakenly think that he had traveled to the Middle Ages and that the First Emperor could do the same.
So, he said again: "If your Majesty is willing, you can arrange people to create a specific environment for Mr. Fusu."
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Nian, how could he not understand Li Nian? The idea is to let him create a special environment for Fusu to achieve the changes he wants.
"Other gentlemen can also follow this method. There is a saying in later generations, 'What you read on paper will eventually become shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it' and 'Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles'. This is exactly what it means. . ”
“What you learn on paper is ultimately shallow, but I know that it requires practice. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles...”
Ying Zheng repeated these two sentences, and then asked Li Nian a question: "Do you think Hu Hai can change?"
As soon as this question came out, Meng Yi felt that the hall became a lot colder, those who were copying The chamberlain who recorded it wanted to bury his head in the bamboo slips.
Is this something they can listen to?
Li Nian also paused for a moment. This question is very difficult to answer.
Because this question is actually the First Emperor asking: What do you think should be done with Hu Hai?
Simply say that Hu Hai is a big bad guy who cannot be saved, and let the First Emperor order Hu Hai to be killed. This is suspected of inciting family ties between the Tian family, driving a wedge between father and son, and causing father to harm son.
But Li Nian is not willing to say good things to Hu Hai. He has exposed so much dirty information about Hu Hai before. If Hu Hai gets a chance to get into power, it would be weird not to kill him.
Li Nian had already thought about this question, and he replied: "I think it will be difficult to change Mr. Hu Hai!"
After answering this sentence, Li Nian talked about his reasons. : "I told your Majesty last time that there is no good or evil in the beginning of a human being. The only way to distinguish between good and evil is to see the influence after birth. In fact, this is not true for most people. There are very few people who are born more prone to evil than others.”
“In later generations, there is a field of biology that studies humans, cows, horses, dogs and many other creatures and discovers that we humans are born and grow up. , aging is determined by a substance called 'gene'. Men's genes are XY and women's genes are XX..."
Knowing that the First Emperor was difficult to understand, Li Nian thought for a while and then said: "To explain it in terms of Taoist Yin and Yang, normal men have two qi of yin and yang, and normal women have two qi of yin and yang. Your Majesty, this is not the Taoist theory of yin and yang. I am just using it as an example. "
Taoism is really a good thing. Although the theory of chaos, yin and yang, two rites and three talents was proposed in the pre-Qin Dynasty, it can explain some problems of later generations.
I wonder how Lao Tzu and other Taoist sages came up with it?
Did you just guess it by accident, or is there really some unknown reason?
Ying Zheng nodded to indicate that he understood, and Li Nian continued: "The union of men and women to raise children means that men and women combine their respective Qi parts, but women can only separate Yin Qi. ”
"If a woman's yin energy combines with the yang energy separated from a man, a child will be born. If a woman's yin energy combines with the yin energy separated from a man, a daughter will be born."
Mengyi, who had been silent until now, came out. Voice: "Doesn't it mean that having children and having girls depends not on the woman, but on the man? Many people think that blaming their wives for not having children is wrong?" Li Nian nodded and said: "Yes, having children and having girls depends on everything. male Son, the chance is the same."
Meng Yi sighed: "But the world doesn't understand how many women have been bullied and even died by their husbands because they can't give birth to children."
'General Meng, don't misrepresent what I said. I am proving to the First Emperor that Hu Hai is a born bad guy and cannot be saved. Why don't you involve me in giving birth to a baby? ’
Li Nian cursed in his heart and decided to correct the straying topic.
“But sometimes there will be problems with the combination of the yin and yang qi of men and women. If another yang qi is separated on the basis of an existing yang qi, then the person born from it will no longer have A combination of yin and yang, but a combination of yin and yang, the yang is extremely strong!”
“Because he is born with more yang energy than ordinary people, which makes this person different from ordinary people and more prone to evil than ordinary people. This is determined by innateness. It’s hard to change tomorrow!”
Ying Zheng understood now and frowned: "You mean that Hu Hai is inherently more likely to go astray and do evil than others? But why don't I see that Hu Hai is evil?"
Li Niandao: "Although it is better than ordinary people, There is an extra yang energy, but these people are born with normal appearances and have normal wisdom. They naturally know how to seek good luck and avoid harm, and know how to benefit themselves. But at some point, they will also show some traces."
Hu Hai's ferocity was definitely not developed in the short time after he ascended the throne. There must have been traces of it before. He just pretended to be a good baby under the First Emperor.
Hearing "sometimes, they will also show some traces", Ying Zheng's pupils shrank slightly.
After Li Nian said for the first time that Hu Hai caused the death of Emperor Qin II, he ordered people to secretly monitor Hu Hai and investigate the chamberlains and maids around Hu Hai.
In the investigation results submitted to him, Hu Hai seemed to have no abnormality. He was well-behaved and respected him, and he was also very good to the chamberlains and maids who served him.
But one thing was mentioned in the investigation: Hu Hai arrested and killed Bin Que.
The specific method of killing the Binques is unknown, but according to the palace maid who buried the Binque corpses for Hu Hai, the Binques seemed to have missing limbs.
When he saw this, Ying Zheng wondered if this was the trace exposed by Hu Hai?
Because according to the history told by Li Nian, when Hu Hai killed his daughters, he used the torture method of splitting limbs.
Now Li Nian's words have revived Ying Zheng's thoughts, forcing him to think that Hu Hai might really be a born bad guy, a person who has been cruel since he was a child.
Li Nian did not know that the First Emperor was investigating and monitoring Hu Hai, and his unintentional words hit the First Emperor's heart.
After recovering from his thoughts, the First Emperor didn't want to go around any more, and asked directly: "If it is true as you said, how do you think we should deal with Hu Hai?"
As an "honest man" in front of the First Emperor, "Li Nian, who has the character of "never dare to deceive", hesitated for a while and then expressed his thoughts.
After all, the character is here, and breaking the character may be more fatal than telling the truth.
"In my opinion, it is natural to kill Mr. Hu Hai to avoid future troubles. Your Majesty may have the desire to change Mr. Hu Hai and prevent him from becoming the second son of Qin recorded in history, but your Majesty can ensure that Mr. Hu Hai will be killed. Is the change successful? Can you ensure that after your death, Master Hu Hai will not cause trouble in the Qin Dynasty? "
This book does not write about the protagonist to teach Hu Hai and correct him.
