Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 169 Showdown!I, Li Si, want to be a master!

[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Famous Figures in History! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[Number one of the top ten famous figures in history: talent as high as the sky, knowledge as deep as the sea, Li Si! 】

[Li Si, a well-known minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, has been chasing utilitarianism and power without pretense all his life.There is no doubt that he is a loyal minister, but the objects of his allegiance are only Daqin and himself. 】

[Li Si made his debut at a young age, studied the art of emperors, first joined Lu Buwei, and spoke from the harem, offered cuts to the princes, destroyed the six kingdoms, became emperors, won the trust of the first emperor, and rushed to the capital of Qin.

He published the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Customers", advocated the system of prefectures and counties, unified currency, weights and measures, and created the unified writing of "Xiaozhuan". His achievements are unparalleled in the world.

But he also helped Qin Shihuang burn books and confuse Confucianism, attached Zhao Gaosha Dun to seek rebellion, and finally fell for the villain and was killed in Xianyang. 】

[Li Si's life was a glorious life, but also a life of suffering. 】

[In 254 BC, Li Si was 26 years old.

He was originally a commoner in Shangcai, Chu State. When he was just an adult, he was only a small official in the local government county.

By chance, Li Si saw that the rats in the toilet of the official residence were dirty and smelly, sniffing around in the pile of excrement, finding a little food, it was like a treasure, just about to bite, someone or a dog approached, and had to give it up. Flee in terror.

And the rats in the official granary have a lot of grain, no worries of famine, no worries of wind and rain in the high-rise buildings, and they are fat and big.

The toilet rat and the hamster are both rats, but they are in different situations. Li Si couldn't help expressing emotion: "The virtuousness of a person is like a rat, and it depends on where you are!"

The implication is: people are like mice, there is no distinction between virtuous and despicable.Climbing to the top of society, one can enjoy prosperity; living below others, one has to experience poverty and tribulation.

Because of the guidance of this thought, he achieved success in his career.

But also because of this kind of thinking, he gave up his conscience, lost his justice, became obsessed with power and position, sold his soul, and finally died, and was ridiculed by the world. 】

"A real villain who never hides his needs. This kind of courtier may be more liked by the emperors."

"Li Si's goal was originally to 'learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family'. Isn't it the same for people nowadays? What's so funny?"

"Everyone takes what they need, no problem, it's better than those who are both right and right?"

[It can be seen from the theory of toilet rats and hamsters that Li Si is a very smart person with a very high understanding.He discovered that the situation is very critical to the destiny of life, which aroused a strong desire to control his own destiny and the idea of ​​changing the current situation, so Li Si began his life of striving to climb to a higher place. 】

[When he realized this truth, Li Si was just a granary clerk.

There is an iron rice bowl at work, a caring wife, two children, and a big yellow dog at home. It can be regarded as a happy and warm well-off family.

But Li Si himself is obviously not satisfied with the status quo. How many people can change their lives against the sky, why can't Li Si!
At the age of 26, it is the golden age for a person to make contributions, and Li Si, who has a huge "desire" hidden in his heart, is naturally unwilling to live an ordinary life and die quietly like his fathers! 】

[Some people are mediocre and mediocre all their lives. It is not that they lack dreams, but they have never persisted in their dreams.

He is very enthusiastic about things, wants to give up when he encounters setbacks, and has never been deeply involved in a certain field.

Constantly trying new goals, and then struggling with constant failure and giving up, until I accepted my fate and thought I was like this, so I stopped fluttering.

In this way, life is like a pendulum. It seems that you have been working hard all your life, but you don't know that your whole life is just swinging back and forth at the origin. 】

"."

"Why do I feel like you're talking about me?"

"Did you feel it too?"

"But the question is, is it necessary to persist in a dream that cannot be pursued?"

"Perhaps this is the gap between us and Li Si?"

[The great thing about Li Si is that he can persevere for a dream for ten years without changing his original intention. This kind of long-term persistence is extremely rare in any era! 】

[During the turbulent Warring States period, learning the art of literature and martial arts, and becoming an emperor's family is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut to making meritorious deeds.

But now Li Si wants to be talented but has no talent, to be famous, and he has no parents and family to fight for, so it can be said that he is useless.

In such a situation, want to climb to a higher place?That is undoubtedly just a dream!

Li Si is a self-aware person, so his first step is to "charge" and "gild" himself! 】

[Li Si resolutely resigned his iron job, bid farewell to his wife and children, and went to find a contemporary saint in Lanling, the old master Xunqing Xun as his teacher!
Xunzi is a real master. He is proficient in Confucianism, Mohism, Law, Yin and Yang, etc., and he has gathered the strengths of various schools. Moreover, the admission requirements are not high, and anyone can learn under him regardless of their background or status.

Li Si successfully learned from Xunzi, and gained Xunzi's attention through hard work.

Here, Li Si is like stepping into a vast ocean of knowledge. He is like a seed that has been blessed with a long drought, greedily absorbing nutrients, nourishing and enriching himself.

Time flies like a white horse, and it will be ten years in a blink of an eye!

In this era where the average person is only in their fifties, a person who is willing to spend another ten years polishing himself at the age of 26 proves that such tenacity, how can he fail to break through the world? 】

[When Li Si learned how to govern the world with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he left Xunzi.

On the day he was sent out as a teacher, Xunzi asked him, "Why don't you serve your mother country Chu instead of going to Qin country?"

Li Si replied: "Chu State doesn't even use you as a teacher, let alone me as your student! It can be seen that Chu can't know people well, so it is not a good place to go.

A hero does not have to stick to his home country, a gentleman should follow the general trend and contribute to the unification of the world! "

Rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head, this may be the main reason why Li Si went to Qin.Among the six countries, Qin is the strongest, and has a wealth of talents, so it is the most hopeful to complete the great unification.

In fact, this is what we often say now, the importance of choice, sometimes not because your own strength is not enough, but because the path you choose is not suitable for you. 】

[When Li Si first arrived in Qin State, he happened to hear that Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei was vigorously recruiting talents, so he came to seek refuge.

After talking with Li Si, Lu Buwei felt that the man in front of him was quite talented and he was Xunzi's favorite student, so he recruited him as a sannyasin.

Sheren refers to the disciples. During the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, Sheren who became a powerful figure was a way for many people to express their ambitions. 】

【Li Si stayed in the prime minister's mansion for a while, and gained a deep understanding of Qin's government.

He knew very well that the wind was strong when the mountains were high, and the water was cold when the lake was deep. Although Lu Buwei was in full swing, he was a minister after all. He had such a high status in Qin, which made Li Si start to worry.

It should be known that those who do not plan for the whole world cannot plan for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for a region.

The long-sighted Li Si saw that Lu Buwei might be in danger, so he was unwilling to continue working for Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei's ability to sit in the position of prime minister from a businessman naturally also has extraordinary abilities.

He had already seen that Li Si would act obediently and contradictory whenever he encountered a major event, and he didn't want to use it for himself.

But Li Si is indeed a man of great talent. Letting him go is likely to become a political enemy. It would be inappropriate to kill him directly. It will affect his reputation and it will not be conducive to recruiting talents.

So Lu Buwei came up with a good plan to borrow a knife to kill people—let Li Si go to become a Lang Guan under his opponent Lang Zhongling Cai Ze! 】
