Chapter 87 "Very boring"
Should it be different from the kings of later dynasties, right?
The First Emperor looked at Li Nian and said: "The country you come from is not a dynasty and has no king. How do the people of the country where you come from evaluate the widows?"
It seems that he is afraid of Li Nian. I didn’t understand what he wanted to know, so I added something special Sentence: "It's the person who Qing often said was the 'position of public opinion'..."
Li Nian immediately understood what the First Emperor wanted to ask. He wanted to know how that person evaluated him. It must be When he talked about it before, the First Emperor became interested in that person.
It is often said that although there is no malice in this and it is just a description of who he is, calling him a king is actually an insult to him.
Because that one was never a king!
Li Nian was silent, and the First Emperor was not in a hurry, so he waited quietly.
After a while, Li Niandao: "That man did have an evaluation of you, the king, and it is different from the emperors of those dynasties."
That man is indeed powerful. It is said that he likes to read twenty the most. The Four Histories were still read in a 3,600-volume version with more than 43 million words, and that person read it more than 60 times.
"You are mentioned in a poem and a line by that person. The poem is called "Qilu·Reading "Feudal Theory" to Mr. Guo": I advise you to scold Qin Shihuang, and the burning incident needs to be discussed. The death of the ancestor dragon soul Still, Confucianism is known as Gao Shi Chao Chao, and Qin's political laws have been practiced for hundreds of generations. "Ten batches" is not a good article. If you are familiar with the feudal theory of the Tang Dynasty, don't follow Zihou to return to King Wen. Tyrant, but he has a pretty good opinion of him.
However, this did not make the First Emperor very happy. Li Nian added: "But he also commented that after the king unified the six countries, he lost his enterprising spirit, became complacent, and began to rest on his credit book. Go up, be obsessed with your past achievements, indulge in pleasure, pray to God Immortal, building palaces, cruelly oppressing the people, wandering around, killing time, very boring."
When he said the last four words "very boring", Li Nian wanted to laugh. A man who really knows how to evaluate the First Emperor would actually use these four words.
The First Emperor was silent again. "Wandering around, killing time, very boring" had a greater impact on him than what Li Nian had said before.
In the eyes of the founder of the country in later generations, he turned out to be a boring person. The four words spoke directly to his heart, which silenced the First Emperor even more than saying he was a tyrant and a coward.
After a while, the First Emperor recovered from the shock and asked: "Is there another poem?"
Li Niandao: "That poem is not criticizing the king. If the king If you want to know, it’s okay for me to recite it to the king.”
The First Emperor said, “Quickly recite it to me!”
In response to the First Emperor’s wishes, Li Nian started to recite it.
After listening to Li Nian's recitation, the First Emperor was speechless for a long time before he repeated softly: "The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down..."
He looked at Li Nian and asked: "Who When he wrote this poem, were he and I the same age?"
Li Niandao: "No, that person was older than you at that time."
The First Emperor smiled when he heard this. laugh, keep going Repeated: "I cherish the martial arts of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, who are slightly less talented in literature; the Tang and Song ancestors are slightly less charming. Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the big eagle."
"The Qin Emperor refers to the humble man, the Han Dynasty Wu It refers to the emperor of the Han Dynasty who "deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism." Tang Zong and Song Zu refer to the founding emperors of the Tang and Song dynasties. Who is this "genius Genghis Khan"?
Li Niandao: "Genghis Khan is not a Han, but a Mongolian. He once led the Mongolian cavalry across the world, and conquered a territory several times that of the Qin Dynasty. He conquered many Western countries and became world-famous."
The Talents of the Qin Dynasty. Wherever he goes, who has the qualifications to rest on his credit book and count his merits? Look at Genghis Khan, he has attacked the West, his territory spans Europe and Asia, and he is powerful in the world.
The First Emperor paused for a moment and recited the last sentence: "It's all over. Count the romantic figures, but also look at the present day. The person who said, 'Numerate the romantic figures, look at the present day', is he referring to himself?" Li Nian shook his head and said: "The 'number of romantic figures' in the poem It does not refer to himself, but to all the people in the world, including him!”
The founders of later generations are indeed very different from him. If it were him, he probably wouldn’t be! Remember that all the people in the world will only remember your own achievements.
The First Emperor was thinking silently in his heart. He suddenly looked at Li Nian and asked: "Who do you think is better between me and that one?"
Although he probably guessed the result, he just wanted to ask and compare. .
Hearing the First Emperor's question, Li Nian shook his head in his heart. The First Emperor was really competitive. This needs to be compared across time.
He replied implicitly: "Your Majesty, that one is not a king. He always has the people at heart. Moreover, the difficulties faced by China in later generations are not comparable to those of Great Qin."
Li I want to say it bluntly: These problems in Da Qin are trivial. How difficult can it be to have the ancestors cut through the troubled roads and open up new roads? What difficulties did our ancestors face, and what was Great Qin like?
Although Li Nian did not answer directly, the meaning revealed in his words was already clear:
Although you are the king of Qin and the lord of the world, you are not comparable to that one. You are the king, and he No, he is far better than you!
Ying Zheng originally wanted to ask, "Can I surpass him?", but when the words came to his lips, he was swallowed back. The sentence "That man is not a king, he always has the people in his heart." illustrate.
A long sigh came, echoing in the quiet Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zhengdao: "You have time to talk to me about the history of later generations. It's already late today. Go and have a rest. When you go back, write down those people who can be used by me. By the way, when can your paper be made? Out?”
I had heard how useful paper is earlier, but I haven’t seen anything yet.
Li Niandao: "It should be made within one month!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "You don't have to come back within one month. You can do your thing with peace of mind. What do you need? , I’m telling you, if anything happens to me, I will summon you.”
The First Emperor is not far away from proclaiming himself emperor. In just one month, this month will be very busy, so he will not be summoned again. lecture.
“Yes!”
After walking out of Zhangtai Palace, Li Nian's back felt cold. What he said just now was so impassioned. Now that he thought about it, he was just dancing in front of the gate of hell. He might be killed by the First Emperor at any time. Fortunately, the First Emperor was not angry. He was so little. Life is safe for the time being.
But if faced with the same situation again, he would probably still choose to say...
'It's good to be alive, I hope I can live longer in Daqin! ’
‘Tai Shigong said, ‘Everyone is destined to die, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.’ Where will I, a feather from later generations, drift to in this era? ’
Under the escort of the guards, Li Nian returned to Liuying Palace. The moon was full tonight. He stopped and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. There was no smog in this era of Da Qin, and the moon looked even cleaner and brighter.
‘People today cannot see the moon of ancient times, but today’s moon once shone on ancient people. It's a pity that the moonlight shining on me is not the one in ancient times...'
It will be released at 12 noon tomorrow. I didn't expect that the plot between the protagonist and the First Emperor will be finished before it is released. Next, It is the plot from before the First Emperor proclaims himself Emperor to when he proclaims himself Emperor. After the First Emperor proclaimed himself emperor, the first volume of this book ended. Thank you for your support!
