"Historical Records: The Book of Emperor Qin Shihuang"

Go down to Ji, Si, and robbery officials, and he will be charged with crimes in the case.Quji and Jie said: "The general will not be humiliated." He committed suicide.If you are a prisoner, you will be punished five times... In August Jihai, Zhao Gao wanted to cause chaos, fearing that the officials would not listen, so he set up a test first, holding a deer and offering it to the second emperor, saying: "The horse is also." The second emperor laughed and said: " The prime minister made a mistake? Calling a deer a horse." Ask about the left and right, and the left and right are either silent, or they say that the horse is A Shun Zhao Gao.Or talk about deer, Gao Yin, those who talk about deer in the shade use the law.Later all the officials were afraid of heights.

Gao Qian said "Kandong robbers can't do anything", and Xiang Yu captured the Qin general Wang Li and other giant deer, and Zhang Han and other troops were defeated. They wrote to ask for help, and Yan, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Han, and Wei all stood up. As a king, from the east of Guanguan, the Qin officials should be the princes at the end of Dadi, and the princes Xian led all their people to the west.Pei Gong slaughtered tens of thousands of people at Wuguan, and made people private to Gao, fearing that the second generation would be angry and punish him, but thanked him for his illness and refused to see him.The second generation dreamed that a white tiger gnawed at his left stallion and killed it. He felt unhappy and wondered about the dream.The divination said: "Jing water is evil." The second generation lived in Wangyi Palace, wishing to commemorate Jing, sinking four white horses.Make the responsibility higher than the thieves.Gao feared, Naiyin and his son-in-law Xianyang ordered Yan Le and his younger brother Zhao Chengmou to say: "The superior will not listen to advice, and the matter is urgent, and I want to blame my clan. I want to be easy to put on top, and I will establish a son-in-law Ying. Ziying is benevolent and frugal, The common people all carry their words." Let Lang Zhongling act as an internal response, deceive him into being a big thief, order Le to summon the officials to kill, chase and rob Le's mother and put him in a high house.He sent more than a thousand officials and soldiers to the gate of Wangyi Palace, bound the guards and ordered the servants to shoot, saying: "Why don't the thieves come here?" Le Sui cut off the order of the guards, directly sent the officials in, and shot them. The eunuchs were shocked, and they either walked or checked, and those who checked died. Dozens of people died.The doctor makes orders and enjoys himself, shoots on the tent and sits on the curtain.The second generation was angry, and summoned the left and right, and the left and right were disturbed and did not fight.There was an eunuch beside him, and the waiter dared not go.When the second generation entered the palace, he said: "Why don't you sue me? Even here!" The eunuch said: "I dare not speak, so I got everything. The envoys have all spoken, and they have been punished, so far?" Yan Le was the second Shishu said: "Your step is arrogant and reckless, and you have no way to punish and kill. The world is with you, and you can plan for yourself." The second emperor said: "Can the prime minister see it?" Le said: "No." The second emperor said: " I would like to have a county as king." Fu Xu.He also said: "I wish to be the Marquis of ten thousand households." Fu promised.Said: "I would like to be the head of Guizhou with my wife, and compare with all the princes."

"Historical Records: The Chronicle of Emperor Gaozu"

And Zhao Gao had already killed the second emperor, so he sent people to come to make an appointment to divide Wang Guanzhong.

"Historical Records: Biography of Li Si Lie"

Gao Wen Li Si thought that, but he saw the prime minister and said: "There are many bandits in the Guandong, and now they are in a hurry to rule the Afang Palace, gathering dogs and horses that are useless. If you want to remonstrate, you are a lowly position. Why don't you remonstrate with the real king and marquis? " Li Si said: "Of course, I have wanted to speak for a long time. Now I do not sit in the court, but live in a deep palace. If I have something to say, I cannot pass it on. I want to see it." Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty Sincerely able to advise, please wait for the emperor to speak to the emperor." So Zhao Gao treated the second generation Fang Yanle, with the women in front, and asked the prime minister to tell him: "You can do things in the upper part." The prime minister went to the palace gate to pay homage. .The second generation said angrily: "I often have too many free days, and the prime minister doesn't come. My side is private, and the prime minister always comes to ask for trouble. Does the prime minister want me? Let me be strong?" Zhao Gaoyin said: "It's so dangerous! Husband The conspiracy of the sand dunes, the prime minister and Yan. Now your majesty has established himself as the emperor, but the prime minister is expensive, and this means that the king will be king. And your majesty does not ask the ministers, and the ministers dare not speak. The eldest son of the prime minister, Li You, is the guardian of Sanchuan Chen Sheng, the thief of Chu, and others are all the sons of the prime minister near the county. Because of this, the robbers of Chu went on a public trip and crossed the three rivers, but the city guards refused to attack. Gao heard that his documents were exchanged, but they had not been tried by him, so he did not dare to hear about them. And the prime minister was outside, The weight lies with His Majesty." The second thought it was right.If the prime minister wants to case the case, he is afraid that he will not be tried, so he will make people test the case against Sanchuan Shou and theft.Li Si heard it.

At that time, the second generation was in Ganquan, and Fang made the view of the excellent haiku.Li Si could not see him, because Zhao Gaozhi said in a letter: "I have heard that all ministers who doubt their lords will endanger the country; concubines who doubt their husbands will always endanger their families. Today there are ministers who are good at profiting and harming your majesty, just like your majesty. It is very inconvenient. In the past, the son of Sicheng seldom visited the Song Dynasty. He personally punished him and acted with authority. He robbed his king after a period of time. Tian was often a minister of Jian. To win the people from below, to win the ministers from above, to take the state of Qi in the dark, and to slaughter it in the court, that is, to kill the Duke Jian in the court, and then there is the state of Qi. This is well known by the world. Today, there are evil and lost ambitions, dangerous and rebellious actions, For example, Zihan was the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty; the wealth of a private family is like that of the Tian family in Qi Ye. He also practiced Tian Chang and Zihan's rebellion to rob His Majesty's prestige. His ambition is like Han Qi being Han An's Prime Minister. Your Majesty does not plan, and the minister fears that he will do it. Change." The Second Emperor said: "Why? Husband is high, so he is also an eunuch. However, he does not want to be safe, does not take risks and changes his mind, and cultivates goodness. He has made himself so far. He has made progress with loyalty and kept his position with trust. Why is it true that you are truly virtuous, but the king doubts it? Besides, I seldom lose my ancestors, I don’t know anything, I am not used to governing the people, and the king is old, I am afraid that I will be cut off from the world. I am not Zhao Jun, who should be in charge? Mr. Zhao is honest and powerful, he knows people's feelings from below, and he can suit me from above, so don't doubt him." Li Si said: "No way. He is a high-ranking man, so he is also a bitch. He is ignorant of reason, greedy and greedy. He is the next master in power, and his desires are endless, so the minister said he was in peril." The Second Emperor had believed in Zhao Gao before, fearing that Li Si would kill him, so he told Zhao Gao privately.Gao said: "The prime minister's patient is only Gao, Gao is dead, and the prime minister wants to do what Tian Chang did." So the second emperor said: "It is said that Li Si belongs to Lang Zhongling."

Zhao Gao's case against Li Si.Li Si was bound and restrained, living in the prison, looking up to the sky and sighing: "What a pity! What a shameful king! What a trick for an unrighteous king! In the past, Jie killed Guan Fenglong, Zhou killed Prince Bigan, and Wu Wang Fuchai killed Wu Zixu. The three ministers are not loyal! However, they are not immune to death, and those who are loyal to them are not. Today, my wisdom is not as good as the three sons, and the second life is more innocent than Jie, Zhou, and Husband. It is appropriate for me to die loyally. Moreover, the rule of the second generation will not be chaotic! The Japanese barbaricize their brothers and stand on their own, killing loyal ministers and nobles and humble people, making them the palace of Efang, and collecting the world. It is not that I do not remonstrate, but I do not listen. All the ancient sage kings , there is a strict diet, there are many cars and equipment, and the palace is well-regulated. If you issue orders to make troubles, those who increase fees and do not benefit the people are banned, so you can maintain peace for a long time. Orders are against the Kundi, regardless of the blame; invade and kill loyal officials, do not think about it Seedlings; big palaces, endowing the world generously, not loving their expenses. The three have been practiced, and the world does not listen. Today, the opposite is already half of the world, and the heart has not yet grown up. With Zhao Gao as the assistant, I will see Kou came to Xianyang, and the deer roamed in the court."

So the second generation sent the prime minister of the high case to prison, punished the crime, blamed Si and Ziyou for treason, and arrested the clan guests.Zhao Gaozhisi, who plundered more than a thousand lists, was so painful that he falsely convinced himself.So those who are not dead are proud of their meritorious service, and they have no resentment. Fortunately, they wrote a letter to report themselves, and fortunately the second generation forgives them.Li Sinai wrote a letter from prison saying: "I have been the prime minister and governed the people for more than [-] years. The land where Qin was captured was narrow. At the time of the first kings, Qin's land was only a thousand miles away, and there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I do my best and obey the laws and regulations. Acted as a counselor, funded with gold and jade, made lobbying princes, secretly repaired armor soldiers, decorated politics and religions, officials and fighters, honored heroes, and promoted his rank and wealth, so he threatened Han and weakened Wei, defeated Yan, Zhao, Yi, Qi, and Chu, and died in the six kingdoms , captured its king, made Qin the son of heaven. The crime is one. The land is not too wide, and the lakes and raccoon dogs are chased in the north, and the Baiyue is set in the south to see the strength of Qin. The crime is two. Respect the ministers, hold their titles, and consolidate them. His relatives. There are three crimes. Establishing the country, building the ancestral temple, and clarifying the virtuousness of the lord. The four crimes. More restraining painting, flat fighting dendrobium, measuring articles, and distributing the world in the name of tree Qin. Five crimes. Rule the way , Xingyou Guan, to see the master's satisfaction. There are six crimes. Suspension of punishment, thin taxation, so that the Lord can win the hearts of the people, and all people will worship the Lord, and they will never forget after death. Seven crimes. If you are a minister, The crime is enough to die for a long time. Fortunately, I have done my best to get it up to now, and I hope your Majesty will check it!" In the book, Zhao Gao sent the officials to abandon it and did not play it, saying: "Prisoners can write a letter!"

Zhao Gao made more than ten generations of his guests pretend to be censors, visitors, servants, and even replied to him.Si is more factually right, and often makes people repeat the list.The next two generations made people test him, and he thought it was the same as before, so he dared not say anything more and resigned.When the play was played, the second generation said happily: "Mr. Zhao, he was almost sold by the prime minister." And when the second generation envoy Sanchuan to guard, Xiang Liang has killed him.When the envoys came, they met the prime minister and the officials, but Zhao Gao retorted retortly.

In July of the second year of II, with five punishments, the city of Xianyang was cut in half.When Si was released from prison, he was stuck with his nephew. Gu said that his nephew said: "I want to go out with Ruofu to lead the yellow dog out of Shangcai Dongmen to chase cunning rabbits. How can I get it!"

Li Si is dead, and the second generation worships Zhao Gao as the prime minister of the Central Committee, and Gao will always decide everything, no matter how big or small.High self-knowledge weight is to offer deer, which is called a horse.The second generation asked the left and right: "Is this a deer?" Both the left and the right said: "The horse."Taibu said: "Your Majesty worships the ghosts and gods in the ancestral temple in the spring and autumn. The fasting is unknown, so here it is. You can fast according to Shengde." So he went to Shanglin to fast.While cruising and hunting in the daytime, a pedestrian entered the forest, and the Second Emperor shot him himself.Zhao Gao taught his son-in-law Xianyang to order Yan Lexie to know who the thief murdered and moved to the forest. Gao Naijian said to the second emperor: "The emperor killed innocent people for no reason. This is forbidden by God. Ghosts and gods are not allowed. Heaven will bring disaster, so you should stay away from it." The palace is used to protect it." The second generation lived in Wangyi's palace.

After staying for three days, Zhao Gao fraudulently ordered the guards, all of whom were in plain uniform and held soldiers in the inner village, and went to report to the Second Emperor, saying: "Shandong has a large group of bandits!" Wearing the seal, the left and right officials should not follow, go to the palace, and there are three people who want to destroy the palace.Gao Zi knew that the heaven was blessed, and the ministers promised him, so he summoned the younger brother of the first emperor and granted him the seal.

Battle of Julu
"Historical Records: The Book of Emperor Qin Shihuang"

Three years later, Zhang Han and others surrounded Julu with his soldiers, and Xiang Yu, the general of Chu, sent Chu soldiers to rescue Julu.In winter, Zhao Gao became the prime minister, and Li Si killed him.Xia, Zhang Han and other battles were over, and the second generation sent people to let Han, and Han was afraid, so the chief Shi Xin asked for a favor.Zhao Gaofu saw it, but he didn't believe it.Rejoicing and fearing, he died, so high that people couldn't catch him.I am glad to see Han and said: "Zhao Gao uses his affairs in the middle, and the general will be punished if he has meritorious service, and he will be punished if he has no merit." Xiang Yu hurriedly attacked the Qin army, captured Wang Li, and Han and others surrendered to the princes.

"Historical Records Xiang Yu Benji"

The soldiers of Chu had broken through Dingtao, and King Huai was afraid, so he marched from Pengcheng in Xutai, together with Xiang Yu and Lu Chen's army.Take Lu Chen as Situ, his father Lu Qing as Ling Yin, Pei Gong as Dang County Chief, Wu Anhou, and general Dang Jun Bing.

In the early days, Song Yi met the envoy of Qi, Gao Lingjun, who appeared in the Chu army. He saw the king of Chu and said: "Song Yi said that Wu Xinjun's army must be defeated. After staying for several days, the army was defeated. The army was defeated before the battle. It can be said that you know how to fight." Wang Zhao Song Yi talked about it with his plan, because he made him the top general; Xiang Yu was the Duke of Lu, the second general, Fan Zeng was the last general, and rescued Zhao.All the other generals belong to Song Yi, and they are called champions of Qingzi.Travel to Anyang and stay for 46 days without entering.Xiang Yu said: "I heard that the Qin army besieged Zhao Wang's giant deer and quickly led his troops across the river. Chu attacked the outside and Zhao responded to the inside. The Qin army will surely be defeated." Song Yi said: "Otherwise. A man fighting a ox with a horsefly cannot destroy a gnat. Now Qin is attacking Zhao, and if he wins, he will stop fighting, and I will take over his weakness. Policy, justice is not as good as justice." Because he ordered the army to say: "Fierce as a tiger, as fierce as a sheep, as greedy as a wolf, and whoever is too strong to be entrusted, we will all beheaded!" He sent his son Song Xiang to join him, and sent him to no salt, High drinking session.It was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were cold and hungry.Xiang Yu said: "The generals will attack Qin with all their strength, and they will not be able to stay for a long time. This year, the people are hungry and the people are poor, and the soldiers eat taro. Inheriting the poor'. The husband uses the strength of Qin to attack the newly created Zhao, and he is bound to lift up Zhao. Zhao lifts up and Qin is strong, how can we inherit! Moreover, the national army is newly broken, and the king is restless. The safety of the country is at stake. Today, if you don’t show respect to the soldiers, but favor your own interests, you are not a minister of the country!" Song Yi, the general of Xiang Yuchen's court, beheaded Song Yi's head in his account, and ordered the army to say: "Song Yi and Qi conspired to rebel against Chu. , The king of Chu secretly ordered Yu to punish him." At that time, all the generals were intimidated and subdued, and no one dared to branch Wu, and they all said: "The one who first established Chu is the general's family. Now the general punishes the chaos." It was the prime minister who joined Yu as a false general. .Make people chase Song Yizi, catch him, and kill him.Make Huan Chu report to King Huai.King Huai made Xiang Yu a general.Lord Dangyang and General Pu both belonged to Xiang Yu.
