History

Chapter 87
Meng Tian was the first Qi people.Tian's father, Meng Ao, served as the king of Qin Zhao from Qi, from official to Shangqing.In the first year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Meng Ao became the general of Qin and attacked Han, taking Chenggao and Xingyang, and setting them up as Sanchuan Commanderies.In the second year, Meng Ao attacked Zhao and took 37 cities.In the third year of the First Emperor, Meng Ao attacked Han and took thirteen cities.In five years, Meng Ao attacked Wei, took twenty cities, and set them up as Dongjun.In the seventh year of the First Emperor, Meng Ao died.Aozi is called Wu, and Wuzi is called Tian.Tian tasted the literature of prison books.In the 23rd year of the first emperor, Meng Wu was the general of Qin Pi, and he attacked Chu with Wang Jian, defeated it, and killed Xiang Yan. In the 24th year, Meng Wu attacked Chu and captured the king of Chu.Meng Tian's younger brother Yi.

In the 26th year of the first emperor, Meng Tian became a Qin general because of his family background, attacked Qi, defeated it, and worshiped it as an internal history.Qin has already annexed the world, so Meng Tian sent 30 people to the north to chase Rongdi and collect them in Henan.The construction of the Great Wall, due to the terrain, used dangerous fortresses, from Lintao to Liaodong, extending for more than ten thousand li.So I crossed the river, according to Yangshan Mountain, and snaked to the north.The violent master has been abroad for more than ten years and lives in Shangjun.It was time for Meng Tian to vibrate the Huns.The first emperor respected and favored the Meng family and trusted him.And to get close to Meng Yi, the position is the highest, and when you go out, you will participate in the ride, and if you enter, you will be in front of the imperial court.Tian is in charge of foreign affairs and Yi is often an internal conspiracy. He is called Zhongxin, so although the generals dare not compete with him.

Zhao Gao, all Zhao Shuyuan belonged to him.Several of Zhao Gaokun's younger brothers were born in the hidden palace, and their mother was tortured and killed.The king of Qin heard that Gao Qiang was familiar with the prison law, and he thought it was the order of the CRRC government.Gao Ji's private affairs son Hu Hai, Yu Zhi sentenced to prison.He committed a serious crime, and the King of Qin ordered Meng Yi to rule it by law.If you dare not be a Fa, you will die for a high crime and get rid of your eunuch status.The emperor was honest with others with high standards, pardoned him, and restored his official rank.

The first emperor wanted to travel around the world, and he traveled from Jiuyuan to Ganquan, so he made Meng Tian pass through, from Jiuyuan to Ganquan, cutting mountains and valleys, thousands of miles away.The road has not yet come.

In the winter of the 37th year of the First Emperor, he traveled to Kuaiji, went to the sea, and went north to Langye.Dao illness made Meng Yi pray to the mountains and rivers, but he did not.

When the first emperor came to the collapse of the sand dunes, it was kept secret, and none of the officials knew about it.At that time, Prime Minister Li Si, son Hu Hai, and CRRC Mansion Commander Zhao Gao often followed.Gao Ya was lucky to be with Hu Hai, wanted to establish him, but complained about Meng Yi ruled by law instead of doing it for himself.Because of his evil intentions, he conspired with the prime minister Li Si and the son Hu Hai to make Hu Hai the prince.The crown prince has been established, and an envoy is sent to punish the sons Fusu and Meng Tian for their crimes.Fusu was dead, Meng Tian was suspicious and asked him again.The envoy took Meng Tian as an official and replaced him.Hu Hai took Li Sishen as his guard.The envoy also reported that Huhai had heard that Fusu had died and wanted to release Mengtian.Zhao Gao feared that the Meng family would become expensive and use things, and complained about it.

When Yi returned, Zhao Gao wanted to destroy the Meng family because of Hu Hai's loyal strategy, so he said: "I heard that the first emperor wanted to raise a virtuous prince for a long time, but Yi remonstrated and said 'no'. If you know a virtuous and Yu Fuli, it is Disloyalty confuses the master. It is not as good as punishing a minister for his foolishness." Hu Hai listened and tied Mengyi to Dai.Meng Tian had been imprisoned in Yangzhou before.The funeral went to Xianyang, where he was buried. The prince was established as the second emperor, and Zhao Gao was close to him, destroying the Meng family day and night, asking for his sins, and impeaching him.

Ziying remonstrated and said: "I heard that Zhao Wangqian killed his good minister Li Mu and used Yan Ju, Yan Wang Xiyin used Jing Ke's plan to double Qin's agreement, Qi Wangjian killed his old loyal ministers and used the latter's proposal to win. This The three monarchs all think that those who change the ancients will lose their country and bring calamity to themselves. Today's Mengshi, Qin's ministers and counselors, and once the master wants to abandon it, the ministers secretly think it is impossible. The ministers have heard that light-hearted people cannot govern the country. , A wise man cannot survive a ruler. Killing loyal ministers and erecting unruly people is to disbelieve the ministers internally and alienate the fighters externally. The ministers secretly think it is impossible."

Hu Hai didn't listen.And sent Yushi Qugong to pass on the generation, so that Meng Yi said: "The former lord wanted to establish a prince, but it was difficult for you. Now the prime minister regards you as disloyal, and the crime is the same as his family. I can't bear it, but I gave you death, which is also very fortunate. You have a plan!" Yi said to him: "If the minister cannot obtain the will of the predecessor, then the minister will be a lesser eunuch, and fortunately he will die. It can be said to know the meaning. If the minister does not know the prince's ability, the prince will follow alone and circle the world , It is far away from the princes, and the minister has no doubts. The former master's decision to use the crown prince has been accumulated for several years. How dare the minister dare to speak out and plan! It is not dare to pretend to avoid death. In order to embarrass the name of the former lord, I hope that the doctor will worry about it, so that the ministers will know the truth of death. And those who are obedient and perfect are the most precious of the way; those who are punished and killed are the death of the way. In the past, Duke Mu of Qin killed Sanliang He died because of the crime of Bailixi, not his crime, so he was named "Miao". King Zhaoxiang killed Lord Wu'an Baiqi. King Chuping killed Wu She. King Fucha of Wu killed Wu Zixu. These four monarchs are all big mistakes. But the world is wrong, because its ruler is unknown, so it is based on the princes. Therefore, it is said, "Those who rule with Tao do not kill the innocent, but do not punish the innocent." Only the doctor pays attention!" The messenger knew Hu Hai's meaning and did not listen According to Meng Yi's words, he was killed.

The second generation also sent an envoy to Yang Zhou to order Meng Tian to say: "There are too many monarchs, and brother Yi has committed a serious crime. The law and internal history." Tian said: "From my ancestors to our descendants, I have accumulated credit in Qin The third generation has passed. Today, there are more than [-] generals and soldiers. Although they are imprisoned, they are powerful enough to double the siege. However, those who know that they will die and abide by righteousness will not dare to insult the teachings of their ancestors, so as not to forget their predecessors. In the past, King Cheng of Zhou was established , before leaving his infancy, Zhou Gongdan took over the king and ruled the world. When King Cheng was seriously ill, Gongdan smashed his claws and sank in the river, saying: "The king did not know, but he was a deacon. If you are guilty, you will be punished." It’s ominous.’ It’s a book that’s hidden in the record house. It can be said to be trustworthy. As for the king’s ability to govern the country, some thieves said: ‘The Duke of Zhou wants to be in chaos for a long time. If the king is not prepared, there will be big things.’ The king was furious Zhou Gongdan left and ran to Chu. Cheng Wang looked at the Jifu, got Zhou Gongdan's Shen Shu, but said with tears: "Who said that Zhou Gongdan wants to be chaotic!" Kill those who speak and turn against Zhou Gongdan. Therefore, Zhou Shu said "Must participate and fight with them". Today's Tian's sect has no two minds in the world, but the death is like this, it is inevitable that the evil ministers will rebel, and the way of the inner mausoleum. The husband becomes a king, and if he regains his strength, his death will prosper; Jie kills Guan Long Feng, Zhou killed the prince Bigan without regret, and the country will perish if he dies. The minister said that the past can be revived and the admonition can be felt. Observed in the army, the law of the sage. The words of all ministers are not to be avoided. Yu Jiuye will die on remonstrance, and may your majesty follow the way for all people." The envoy said: "The minister accepts the order to practice the law to the general, and dare not hear the general's words from the superior." Meng Tian sighed and said: "I How can you blame heaven and die without any fault?" After a long time, Xu said: "Tian's crime will definitely be death. Liaodong, which belongs to Lintao, has more than [-] miles of moats, and there can't be no ties in it? This is Tian's crime. Yes." Nai committed suicide by swallowing medicine.

Tai Shigong said: "I am going to the north, returning from the straight road. I went to see the pavilions and barriers of the Great Wall built by Meng Tian for the Qin Dynasty, cut mountains and valleys, and led to the straight road. I really underestimate the power of the people."At the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, the feudal lords were destroyed, the hearts of the world were not settled, and the wounded were not healed, but Tian was a famous general, and he did not use this time to forcefully remonstrate, to revive the people's urgency, to save the old for the elderly, to cultivate the harmony of the common people, and to promote the merits of Ayi. , it is inappropriate for his brother to be executed!What is the sin of the earth?
