Chapter 82 The world is like those who stay in the marquis
Li Nian specially emphasized the tone of the words "deserved reward".
Han Xin believed that he had done a lot of good work for Liu Bang and deserved to be crowned king. When Liu Bang refused, Han Xin got angry with Liu Bang and even sent a letter requesting to be crowned king when Liu Bang was in danger.
In fact, from Han Xin's point of view, this is what he deserves based on his merit, and he is just getting back what belongs to him.
Who knows that his attitude and method of doing things will only make Liu Bang unhappy. Even though he magnanimously made Han Xin king under the persuasion of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, he must be holding back anger in his heart.
Kings all have the same idea: you can take what others want to give you, but if they don’t want to give it to you, you can’t take it even if you have enough merit!
Not to mention Han Xin's method of taking advantage of danger to force Liu Bang.
Later generations have analyzed that Han Xin was naive and naive, and did not understand the world. Although he was talented in commanding troops, he had no understanding of human relations.
He just feels that he has done enough and wants to get the remuneration he deserves. What's wrong with that?
“As for Liuhou, the king and the Qin Dynasty had a hatred of the country and the family. The determination and righteousness of an outstanding person like Liuhou through the ages are absolutely unmatched by ordinary people, and cannot be reversed by a few words! Therefore, The hatred of Liuhou towards the king and Qin cannot be eliminated until one side is destroyed.”
Although what he thought was the same as what Li Nian said, Ying Zheng was still quite unwilling. The greatest sage seeker in history could not be used by him.
When a person is outstanding to a certain level, even his enemies will sigh for him and pity his talent!
Ying Zhengdao: "If I don't kill Zhang Liang, can you persuade him to serve for me?"
The First Emperor is still generous, although he is also stingy in some aspects, like forcing Lu Buwei Committing suicide was like running to the Handan pit to kill his former enemy when Handan was captured.
Li Nian thought for a while and said: "If I can meet Liu Hou, I am willing to give it a try for the king, but I don't think I can persuade Liu Hou."
How could someone like Zhang Liang be easily persuaded by him?
Li Nian thought that even if Zhang Liang could see things from later generations, let him understand the affairs of later generations, and persuade him with the righteousness of the Chinese nation, it would be difficult to convince him.
Only when China has reached the point of saving the nation can it be persuaded. However, the current China is obviously not at that point. Even when trying to persuade, Liu Hou would say with a smile: "Even if there is no Zhang Liang in this world, , there are also descendants! What’s more, isn’t there you?”
Li Nian felt that he had already seen the scene when he met Liu Hou.
Those who are like those who stay in the world are all people who uphold the Tao. They uphold the Tao in their hearts and adhere to their own thoughts.
The world is like a man who keeps a promise, has no regrets in his actions, and does not change his intentions. His body can be destroyed, but it is difficult to change his ambitions.
If you want to change your ambition to stay as a marquis, it is like asking Prime Minister Zhuge to betray Shu Han and surrender to Cao Wei.
Ying Zhengdao: "If you have the opportunity, just do it. Regardless of success or failure, I will not blame you. Eat first!"
I didn't notice that it was time to eat again. , I wonder what I want to eat this time?
It should be a big improvement compared to last time.
Serve the dishes, a plate of tofu mixed with green onions, a pot of stewed venison, a plate of boiled vegetables, a bowl of wild rice...
The venison exudes a rich fragrance, which has never been seen in Daqin before. Yes, because the thirteen spices prepared by Li Nian were added during the stew.
Li Nian picked up a piece of tofu. The taste of the tofu mixed with shallots was naturally not as good as that of later generations, but it was quite good, and the taste did not have the bitterness that was common with salt in this era.
This is because he has purified the palace salt in the past few days. The salt used in Da Qin today is mainly mineral salt, which has many impurities and tastes bitter and astringent. Although the salt used by the royal palace is the highest quality mineral salt, it cannot be completely avoided.
The purification method is also simple. Dissolve the salt, add plant ash and boil it. After letting it stand, filter out the insoluble matter.
‘Life in Daqin is getting better day by day. Robinson Crusoe could become a farmer on a deserted island. I traveled across Daqin and there are so many people available. How can I still do something? '
Li Nian was thinking, but he heard the First Emperor say: "You once said that Pei Gong entered Xianyang, did he massacre my Qin clan?"
This is the First Emperor's judgment on whether to kill or not. Pei Gong, if Pei Gong killed the Qin clan, the First Emperor would never let Pei Gong stay.
Li Nian said truthfully: "Pei Gong did not kill the Qin clan when he entered Xianyang. After Huhai Gong was killed by Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao was killed by Gongzi Ying, and Gongzi Ying succeeded to the throne. However, at this time, Da Qin had no one. The hope was that Gongzi Ying was in power for only forty-six days before he surrendered to Pei Gong. ”
Hearing Li Nian mention "Gong Zi Ying", the First Emperor paused while digging rice and sighed: "It's a baby!"
Li Nian said: "The identity of Gong Zi Ying is unknown in historical records, so There are several theories circulating: the king’s grandson, the king’s brother, and the king’s nephew.”
Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, “You guys. Later generations may not know everything, so it’s okay to tell you that the infant is the nephew of the widow and the son of Cheng Xi.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up the confusion!”
"Historical Records" was compiled by Tai Shi Gong. However, there are many contradictions in it, and the classical Chinese text pays attention to conciseness and lacks punctuation marks, resulting in different versions of the meaning.
For example, the record of Gong Ziying is recorded in "Historical Records. Biography of Li Si" as follows: "Gao Zhi knew that God had blessed him, and all the ministers agreed, so he summoned the younger brother of the first emperor and gave him the seal. Ziying came to the throne, and when he suffered from it, he said he was ill. Listening to the matter, he talked with the eunuch Han about the murder of his son Gao. "
This version says that the young master is called "Zi Ying", and he is the younger brother of the First Emperor. If the title of "the young master" is added, it should be called "the young master." "Young Master Zi Ying"!
However, other historical materials do not record that the First Emperor had other younger brothers besides the two sons born to Cheng Xi, his mother Zhao Ji and Lao Ai.
But what is recorded in "Historical Records. The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" is: "The younger brother of the second generation, Gongzi Ying, was made King of Qin."
In this version, Gongzi Ying is called "Ying" , the son of Hu Hai's brother, which is the version that Ziying is considered to be the son of Fusu.
This version is the most unreliable. Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si plotted to murder Fusu. How could Fusu's son be left alive?
After Hu Hai ascended the throne, with his crazy behavior of killing his brothers and sisters, will his brother Fusu's son be left behind?
There is also a version that thinks that Tai Shigong made a mistake when writing the "Biography of Li Si". What he wanted to write was not "Zhao Shihuang's younger brother, who gave him the seal", but "Zhao Shihuang's disciple Ying. "The Seal of Conferment" means that Ziying is actually the son of the First Emperor's younger brother, "Ying", and the nephew of the First Emperor.
It is this version that the First Emperor himself admitted today. "Ziying" should be "Ying", his nephew, the son of Chenglong.
Li Niandao said: "After Gong Ziying surrendered, although some of his subordinates proposed to kill Gong Ziying, Pei Gong did not agree. Even when Pei Gong wanted to become king in Guanzhong, he wanted Gong Ziying to serve as the prime minister."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "He is quite magnanimous. If he doesn't kill, there will be no future troubles. He also wants people to be with him. What happened next?"
Li Nian was silent, making Ying Zheng frown. , raised his head and asked: "But Then Pei Gong broke his promise and killed Ying and the others?"
After that, he softened his tone and said, "You can tell me, I won't blame you!"
Li! Nian shook his head and said: "He Pei It was Xiang Yu who had nothing to do with him. Not long after Pei Gong entered Xianyang, he returned to the army. "Historical Records" records: After more than a month of residence, the princes' troops arrived, and Xiang Ji was the chief, so he killed Ziying and the clans of all the princes of Qin. Slaughtered Xianyang, burned his palace, captured His children will receive their treasures and wealth, and the princes will share them among themselves. "
Here we use the version that Gong Ziying is the nephew of the First Emperor. In fact, it is better to write that he is the son of Fusu, because the protagonist can be written as Gong Ziying's teacher.
