Start with mythology: the immortals behind history

In the north, the Meng family army where Meng Tian is located.

Since the arrival of Fusu and Feng Qubing a few months ago, the Mengjia army has stopped building the Great Wall, and everything is focused on the territory of Daqin, even the scouts who originally prevented the Xiongnu have been transferred away, leaving only some people to keep an eye on the Xiongnu’s movements.

And the transferred personnel quickly poured into Guanzhong.

For Chen Yang’s movements, the whole world is paying attention, and the two places that everyone is most concerned about now, one is Xianyang City, and the other is Lishan.

“Any news? How is Your Majesty now? ”

The weather has entered winter, heavy snow, bitter cold, in the military tent, Meng Tian dressed in armor, hung a cape, opened the curtain and walked in.

Inside the military tent, the brazier burned, the charcoal fire crackled, Yi Xiaochuan, Fu Su and Feng Quqian sat in the military tent to discuss countermeasures, next to some Qingliu righteous soldiers and lieutenant generals, and on the table were public opinion maps and some intelligence.

“There is no news at all!”

Fu Su’s face was gloomy, and said, “Since Feng Shi was deposed, there has been no news from the father emperor, and then more than two months later, before the outbreak of the battle outside Xianyang City, Li Si and Feng Yu went to meet the father emperor, saying that the father emperor’s body was about to recover and everything was fine, but now it seems that it is basically certain that this matter is fake.” ”

“That Feng Yu and Li Si have already defected.”

“That’s right!”

Feng Quqian wrapped his body in animal skin, he was old and weak, and recently he felt more and more physically inadequate, and it was difficult for him to adapt in this cold and biting north.

Coughing twice, Feng Qu quickly braced and said: “Li Si this person, talented, but the first born is backbone, the mind is dark, not the Dao, he values interests and neglects morality, he will betray in my expectation, this person’s pursuit of fame and fortune is frightening, and knowledgeable, with the talent of heaven and earth, that is, His Majesty can suppress him, and feels that he is a sharp weapon, so he is reused.” ”

Otherwise, no incompetent monarch would have been able to put such a person to a high position.

When this man was young, he was originally a small official, but he was dissatisfied with this, went to the country of Qi to study, worshiped Xunzi, and Han Fei was a brother of the master, Han Fei was a noble son, although what he learned was chaotic, but he walked the road, sought the truth, was the master of the doctrines of law, art, and potential, and wrote Han Feizi’s book, emphasizing governing the country according to law and replacing the absolute monarchy.

Li Si is different, although he is under Xunzi, but specializes in the art of emperors, although this art is also the study of governing the country, but more mathematics is the means of fighting for power and analyzing the thinking of pros and cons, Li Si this person, is not loyal to Daqin, he is a person who pursues interests, at the beginning he analyzed and compared the situation of various countries, and felt that Daqin would win, so he decided to come to Daqin.

Later, Korea perished and Han Fei was arrested.

Li Si had wanted to persuade him to surrender, but if Han did not have the backbone of this person, how could he fail his family and country? He was killed by Li Si in the name that Han Fei was a noble son of Korea and would never return.

After Han Fei’s death, Han Feizi’s book fell into the hands of Li Si, and Li Si dedicated this book to His Majesty, making the law of Daqin deeply rooted, and since then, Li Si has established his position in the court of Daqin, and it is also with this foundation that Li Si can win in the political battle with Wang Wei.

“Unexpectedly, Li Si still has this kind of past!”

Fu Su felt very shocked, he originally thought that the person who could sit on the Prime Minister of Great Qin Cheng must be a peerless master in the world, but now it seems that this Li Si is a real villain.

“I’ve heard about that.”

Yi Xiaochuan suddenly raised his hand and said, “Han Fei, the princes of Han Zhi.” Now the king wants to merge the princes, not for Han or Qin, this person’s affection is also. Now the king does not need it, but stays for a long time, and this self-defeat is also. It is better to judge it by passing the law. ”

“Good!”

Meng Tian threw off his cloak, also knelt down, and said in a deep voice: “I have also heard about this matter, Li Si killed Han Fei with Han Fei’s method, which caused a great shock at that time, it can be said that Li Si’s name also began at that moment.” ”

“Kill Senior Brother, get the name Deli, this Li Si, it’s really ruthless!”

Some people can’t help but sigh.

“Then what’s going on with Feng Hao?”

Fu Su suddenly frowned, looked at Feng Quyan, and said, “Master Feng, although Feng Hao is not related to you, in the end, it is a distant place, right?” How could he also make a betrayal? ”

“Self-benefit and risk!”

Feng Qu smiled bitterly and said: “Gongzi, you are still too young, the Confucian idea of loyal king, the loyalty and patriotism proposed by the superior, in the final analysis, are all the art of controlling the people, the people are not chaotic, it is the common interest of all those in power, if the bottom is chaotic, then the interests of all those in power will be violated, the higher the status, the less loyal the king, until you sit in the position of prime minister, then you can’t have the slightest idea of loyalty, because you represent the civil and military officials, and represent the people in power under the world.” ”

Relative power is inherently opposed to imperial power.

Imperial power is based on the country as its home, and the entire Great Qin is nominally His Majesty, rich in all seas, and it is meant to take and seize. But to govern the country, many people were needed, so the emperor could only divide the power.

In this way, there is the decentralization of power, and there is also the existence of phase power, in the final analysis, phase power is a special power produced in the process of power distribution in the world.

It is to check and balance the emperor, coordinate the hundred officials, and turn the emperor’s home into a position under heaven.

If the prime minister is weak, the imperial power is strong, and the civil and military officials have no right to speak, just like the former Great Qin, His Majesty has the final say.

If the prime minister is strong, the imperial power is weak, the good is the talented and the talented are in power, and the evil is the scourge of the country and the people, as was the case with the ministers of the Warring States period.

Therefore, there is no betrayal or betrayal, although Feng Yu is a royal doctor, but in the Great Qin Dynasty, the positions are all fictitious, but in fact, they are the three major people who represent power alongside me and Li Si.

At the beginning, Feng Hao could not talk about being a loyal monarch, and if he was a loyal monarch, he would not be promoted to this position by the civil and military officials. Benefits and risks are actually difficult to appear in the prime minister.

After all, one person is above ten thousand people, it has reached the extreme, and the only benefit and risk is to rebel and become the emperor.

But it is very simple for others to want to rebel, but it is difficult for the prime minister, no one is a fool, the emperor will guard against you, the civil and military officials will also, the generals can succeed in rebellion, there is no military power in hand, the power all comes from the emperor and the prime minister elected by the civil and military officials, how to oppose?

It can be said that if you rebel on the same day, you will die on the same day, and the old man can say that there has not been since ancient times, and in the future, there will be no successful cases of the prime minister’s rebellion.

His Majesty also understands this truth, so he is very bold in employing people. But no one expected that the immortal master appeared.

In the immortal master, everyone saw the benefits and risks, the elixir is the benefit, the qi technique is the benefit, and the failure of the rebellion is the risk. When the benefits are small and the risks are large, speculators will appear, such as Lees.

When the benefits are large and the risks are small, investors will appear, such as Feng Yuyu. Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

Old Immortal to tell the truth, Gongzi should not be angry, in fact, that Qi Eating Technique and Elixir, isn’t Old Immortal moved? Old Immortal is much older than Li Si and Feng Hao, and Old Immortal needs those things more.

But the old man chose Gongzi in order to do so?

Because the old immortal turned to the prince, if the immortal master was defeated in the end, with the old immortal present, the Feng family would naturally be safe and sound.

“Similarly, Feng Yao defected to the Immortal Master, and if the prince was defeated in the end, with Feng Hao taking care of him, the Feng family would be safe and sound. The two of us, with different choices, have reached a tacit understanding, although we have not communicated, but we also know it. ”
