Chapter 171 Destroy the Six Kingdoms and Unify China (Add more, ask for a monthly ticket!)
[A competent person can enjoy any position. Li Si has worked in Changshi's position for four full years, and his achievements are also very outstanding.

After several years of hard work, Li Si successfully gained a firm foothold in the court, and Ying Zheng was very satisfied with his ability.

In order to better check and balance Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, Ying Zheng promoted Li Si to become guest minister.

In the past, the prime ministers of Qin State, such as Cai Ze, Zhang Yi, etc., were all promoted through guest ministers. It can be seen that Ying Zheng at this time is very optimistic about Li Si.

Li Si naturally understood Ying Zheng's expectations of him, so he worked harder to show his abilities to the fullest. 】

[On the day when Yingzheng was crowned at the age of 22, Lai Ai rebelled.

Needless to say, Lai Ai suffered a disastrous defeat and was subsequently captured alive. After being castrated, she was tortured to death!
After Yingzheng's crowning ceremony, Lu Buwei also left the stage because he was implicated by Lao Ai.

Lai Ai was recommended by Lu Buwei to the Queen Mother. How could Ying Zheng tolerate such a thing after getting a fake eunuch to commit adultery in the past?

Lu Buwei was dismissed from office and transferred from Xianyang, and was poisoned to death with poisoned wine soon after.

With Lu Buwei's downfall, Ying Zheng and Li Si are finally free from restraint and can let go!

It stands to reason that without Lu Buwei's suppression, Li Si's power status should be improved to a higher level, but the reality gave him a blow to the head.

Just when Li Si was enjoying himself, Zheng Guo's conspiracy to send people to Qin to build aqueducts was exposed.

Zheng Guo came to Qin State to build aqueducts for Qin State, but he actually worked as a spy for South Korea.

They wanted to take advantage of the construction of irrigation canals to conspire to consume Qin's national power, so some people took the opportunity to appeal to King Qin, asking him to order the expulsion of all guest officials.

And Li Si was also on the deportation list! 】

【Seeing that he is about to reach the pinnacle of power, it is naturally impossible for Li Si to catch him without a fight.

In order to keep his hard-won official position and status, he wrote a very famous memorial to Qin Wang Yingzheng-the book "Admonishing and Chasing Guests".

In the book, Li Si talks about history, taking Mu Gong, Xiao Gong, Hui Wang, and Zhao Wang as examples to call for talents and talents, and emphasizes the importance of reusing guest officials.

Then, Li Si talked about the reality again, listing the hobbies of King Qin, such as the jade from Kunshan, the easy-going treasure, the pearl of the bright moon, the Tai'a sword he wore, the slender horse he rode, etc., all of which came from various countries.

Finally, Li Si also pointed out what kind of harm the expulsion of talents from the six eastern countries would cause to Qin.
"Those who are not Qin go, and those who are guests chase away. This is not the technique of crossing the sea and controlling the princes." It’s not in danger, it’s not available.” And so on.

Li Si explained from various aspects how the expulsion of talents would bring harm to the state of Qin. Qin Wang Yingzheng is an ambitious and ideal king. He listened and realized the importance of talents to the state of Qin.

In the end, Qin Wang Yingzheng was moved by Li Si's letter and withdrew the order to expel the guest.

Li Si's behavior not only preserved his power and status, but also promoted him to become a court lieutenant.

Regardless of whether Li Si's behavior was just out of selfishness or public and private, he has indeed successfully retained talents for Qin, and also laid a solid talent foundation for Qin to wipe out the six countries and unify China in the future. 】

[When the domestic troubles of Qin State were resolved, Ying Zheng began to sharpen his sword and rush to the Six Kingdoms.

That year was the 17th year of Yingzheng. The weakest South Korea was the first to be cut to the ground by Qin, followed by Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Yan.
Finally, in the 26th year of Yingzheng, Qin annihilated the last country, Qi, and achieved a great unification unprecedented in ancient times.

The survivors of Fen VI lived for two weeks and killed the feudal lords. This great feat of unifying China was actually accomplished by Ying Zheng and Li Si! 】

"Such feats are indeed unmatched by anyone!"

"Only the first emperor and Li Si were the first to experience it. Later generations are just imitating and surpassing them."

"The most rare thing about Li Si is that while he is looking for his own personal gain, he also does his official business exceptionally well!"

"So why should meritocracy be promoted!"

[If you win the country, you will naturally be rewarded for your merits.

But with the lessons learned from the Zhou Dynasty, Ying Zheng worried that Qin would repeat the same mistakes again, so he didn't want to enfeoff the princes.

At this time, Li Si put forward the proposal of abolishing the enfeoffment and realizing the system of prefectures and counties.

The initiative of the prefecture and county system naturally won Yingzheng's heart, and it also showed his political loyalty and outstanding foresight before public affairs, so he trusted him even more.

The system of prefectures and counties strengthened the central government's control over local areas, and promoted the formation of a unified multi-ethnic centralized state, and also strengthened the unified feudal dynasty, making the feudal system's rule in the country deeply rooted and maintained for more than 2000 years. feudal social structure. 】

[However, there will definitely be people who will jump out and object to this kind of thing.

In the 34th year of King Qin, Qin Shihuang served wine in Xianyang Palace. Dr. Zhou Qingchen and others praised the first emperor's mighty virtue. As a result, Chunyu Yue, a member of Qi, remonstrated and advocated enfeoffing the sons of the clan.

Qin Shihuang handed over Chunyuyue's memorial to Li Si, and Li Si thought Chunyuyue's idea was very absurd.

Moreover, Li Si also played Qin Shihuang, thinking that Chun Yuyue was slandering the monarchy and denying the centralization of power.It is to praise the past but not the present, to confuse the public with rumors, to boast of one's own private education, to slander the achievements of the country, to improve their reputation by criticizing the emperor, to be unconventional, to agitate the lower classes, and to slander the government.

It is suggested that all the books of "Poems", "Books" and other schools of thought should be destroyed, and only books on medical treatment, divination and planting should be kept.Moreover, those who want to learn this knowledge must worship officials as their teachers.

Qin Shihuang adopted Li Si's suggestion, destroyed "Poems", "Books" and books of various schools of thought, and killed a group of alchemists.The purpose is to put an end to chaotic thinking, eliminate those factors of instability, and lay a solid foundation for various "unities" in the future.

At the same time, this move also condensed thoughts to a certain extent, and laid the foundation for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to "remove all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

Afterwards, under the leadership of Li Si, the Qin government began to strictly enforce laws and regulations, formulate laws and regulations, and unify the currency, etc. Qin began to slowly integrate the six countries, and united the originally fragmented China into a whole.

Some people even said, "Actually, Qin Shihuang had backups of these hundreds of cultural books. It's a pity that after Xiang Yu arrived in Xianyang, he burned a large number of books, causing a large number of books to disappear completely."]

"My God! This pot is too big!"

"But you can't deny that Xiang Yu really did the stupid thing of burning Xianyang City!"

"Xiang Yu robbed, massacred, and set fire to Xianyang City! The fire lasted for three months, and the once magnificent Qinhuang Palace became a piece of scorched earth. Human lives are worthless!"

"Therefore, Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu and established a great man, it was in accordance with the will of God and the hearts of the people!"

"."

The fire, Xiang Yu really set it off, as to whether it really burned the classics of hundreds of schools, this cannot be verified.

[When Li Si was 64 years old, he finally became the prime minister and reached the peak of his official career, his dream came true.

The eldest son Li Youguan went to the prefect of Sanchuan County, and was in charge of Xingyang, Luoyang, and Kaifeng. He was the gateway of Xianyang, and his status was not trivial.His sons are all married to princesses, and his daughters are all married to the princes of Qin, and they are deeply trusted. The Li family has definitely become the top dignitaries in Qin!

From a commoner to the current prime minister, Li Si proved that a poor family can produce a noble son, and he can be regarded as an inspirational model in history. 】
