Ying Zheng's lifelong enemy: selfish courtier Lisi.

Recently, there is a high-scoring domestic hit drama: Da Qin Fu.

most of this drama's service methods have been tested by history, and the actors' acting skills are exquisite enough, and the plot is not hip-slapping, which makes the audience feel respected. (Of course, it also has some shortcomings that make the audience criticize: 4-year-old Edward Zhang played 13-year-old boy Ying Zheng, and everyone spoke out. )

As a small writer who started by writing a review of Game of Thrones, how can he miss such a good play?

In this article, I will talk about this drama from the perspective of "selfish courtiers".

Before entering the theme formally, we need to know the background of the play:

The strength of Qin State began with Shang Yang's political reform in Qin Xiaogong, followed by three generations of monarchs, namely, King Qin Huiwen, King Qin Wuwang and King Qin Zhaoxiang, who were very promising: they opened up territory for Qin State, trained the most powerful troops of the seven countries, and gave Qin State the most powerful economic strength at that time. (One of the last two monarchs died after three days in office, and the other was weak, so there was nothing to talk about.)

Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, was taught from an early age: to unify the six countries and realize the wishes of his ancestors.

Therefore, Ying Zheng, who ascended the throne, is also eager to make contributions and realize the great wish of his ancestors to unify the six countries.

We can understand the unification of the six countries as the corporate goal of Qin. In order to set this goal, Qin needs to recruit talents.

Before Ying Zheng took office, the general manager and HR of Qin State was Lv Buwei, and Lv Buwei recruited Li Si from the famous school Jixia Xuegong at that time.

Lv Buwei is the most successful venture capitalist in the history of China. He made a bet on his father when he won an alien in Ying Zheng and was still working as a proton in Zhao.

Not long after Won Yi returned to Xianyang as a prince, his grandfather died of illness, and his father died three days after he became the new emperor. Soon Won Yi became the monarch of Qin.

The small company invested by Lv Buwei was listed successfully in a very short time. When the news of his father's death came, he was extremely happy:

When he won the alien, he was rebelled by the Queen Mother Huayang, who wanted to make Jiao king, but fortunately, Lv Buwei arrived in time with troops to save the throne of Ying Zheng.

Lv Buwei said in the play, "I started for myself, and later, I did it for Daqin."

I don't agree with this statement. Perhaps Lv Buwei thought he was doing it for Daqin subjectively, but in fact Lv Buwei was doing it for himself from beginning to end.

according to Lv Buwei's political opinion, Qin should save your strength and wait for the right time before going east to crusade against Zhao.

what is the right time?

The fatuous Zhao Yan will replace the wise Zhao Shu as the monarch, and there will be chaos in the State of Zhao.

Then, Zhao Yan lived up to expectations and dismissed the old general Lian Po.

Yan and Qin signed an agreement, and Dan, the son of Yan, made Qin an envoy, hoping to join Qin in sending troops against Zhao.

In this way, Zhao was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, and was doomed to be destroyed.

However, Lv Buwei felt that this fight was too radical, which was not in line with his slow and steady political ideas.

At this moment, a dumb girl named Gan Luo, who compared herself to Zhang Yi and Su Qin, stood up.

He volunteered to send an envoy to Zhao: As long as Zhao ceded several cities to Qin, Qin wouldn't attack Zhao in alliance with Yan.

Gan Luo's stratagem touched Lv Buwei's heart, because it just catered to his political proposition of taking a rest and getting out of the country.

So, Gan Luo sent an envoy to the State of Qin and "persuaded" Zhao Yan to cede five cities to the State of Qin.

The reason why "persuasion" is quoted here is because Gan Luo is just a pawn of Lv Buwei in the play, and the people above have already settled it for him. He just needs to summon up his youthful and frivolous courage to go.

Dan, the son of Yan State, and Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, were good friends when they were young, and Gan Luo's plan was obviously to trap Ying Zheng in injustice.

But he said confidently, "When nations compete, interests come first; Renyi can be put aside for a while. "

that's easy to say, because it's not Gan Luo who broke his word.

Of course, Gan Luo obviously belongs to the kind of person who can lose his righteousness for his own benefit.

Gan Luo went to Zhao, won back five cities for Qin, lost Chu, and lost the chance of revenge for Ying Zheng.

and the prime minister, Lv Buwei, kept his political views!

Lv Buwei's political proposition of "rest for health and rest, and apply benevolent policies" sounds very beneficial to Qin, but it is not fast enough.

Reese doesn't think this method is desirable. Let's listen to what he said:

"In the past years, Qin and Chu fought, and the water poured over them, taking Dongting and five lakes south of the Yangtze River, and the king of Chu fled to Chen Yi. At that time, if the Chu army was wiped out with one effort, the Chu State could be captured in one fell swoop. At that time, if you go further east, you will destroy Yan and swallow Han, Wei and Zhao from it, and then you will dominate China, and the neighboring princes will be able to face it. "

"However, I was not completely loyal, so I gave up my troops and made peace, which led to the King of Chu's land recovery, the reunion of scattered people, and the survival of the country against Daqin and Wang Ba, which was a missed opportunity."

"Wu 'an Jun led his troops to defeat Wei in vain. If he besieged the city for dozens of days, Wei would have ceased to exist. When Wei died, the alliance of Chu and Zhao collapsed in an instant, and Qin could eat it separately. So the general trend of the six countries has gone, and Qin Ba's world is just around the corner. "

"Of course, he is also a minister of the temple, and he does not think about the interests of the country, and he confuses the king to listen, so as to defeat the country's mighty soldiers for just a few cities. All this, isn't Wang unable to distinguish, and isn't Wu Qin a loyal minister? "

"Zhao, when you die, don't die, Qin, when you bully, don't bully. If you don't take advantage of the situation, you will send troops against the times. If you attack Handan for two years, you will not be able to retreat. If you don't retreat, you will eventually defeat the six countries. No one in the world can see that Qin has a dream of Wang Ba and a loyal minister. "

"Today, when the Qin army went out to the east, it was only to attack the city and seize the land. It could have taken advantage of it and insisted on eating it. What's the use of a hundred years' accumulation? The sixth generation of Yu Lie is also in vain. "

Let me translate this speech by Li Si: Everyone here is rubbish, and only I, Li Si, am a loyal minister, and I am the kind of loyal minister who can help Qin unify the six countries.

In my opinion, what Li Si, who is good at flattering his face, said has a lot of elements of Monday morning quarterback, but he still has some truth in the point that Qin missed the opportunity to destroy Zhao.

In front of Ying Zheng, Reese kept brainwashing him: I, Reese, am a loyal minister, and Prime Minister Lv Buwei is just a powerful minister. Loyal ministers will sincerely think of the country, while powerful ministers only care about their own power.

If we think of Lv Buwei's kindness to Reese in the play, it's really uncomfortable for him to speak ill of his benefactor.

So is Reese, who calls himself a loyal minister, really a loyal minister?

when Gan Luo went to the state of Qin, the alliance between Qin and Yan collapsed automatically, which was equivalent to letting the state of Qin lose the opportunity to take the lead in destroying the state of Zhao.

what happened to Reese after hearing about it?

He was extremely happy: "What Gan Luo did may not be a good thing for Daqin, but it is definitely a good thing for my Reese."

He Lisi wishes Qin missed the opportunity to destroy Zhao!

Reese once planted a seed in Ying Zheng's heart: "Your Majesty, look at Xiangbang. If you can seize the opportunity to destroy Zhao Zhiliang this time, you will know whether he is a loyal minister."

This time, Gan Luo's action just confirmed his prediction of Lisi: Lv Buwei is not a loyal minister, but a powerful minister.

Gan Luo only cares about expressing himself; Lv Buwei is only interested in keeping power.

Although they are all selfish courtiers, they are not the biggest enemies of Qin Shihuang's life.

Gan Luo was killed by Ying Zheng and Lv Buwei was exiled by Ying Zheng.

The biggest enemy of Qin Shihuang and even Qin Dynasty, a listed company, was Li Si, who claimed to be a loyal minister.

in 21 BC, the Qin dynasty had unified the six countries, and the first emperor who went out for a cruise died of illness in the sand dunes.

Zhao Gao wants to help Hu Hai as emperor. At this time, although Zhao Gao's power is already very great, he still needs to win over one person, that is, Prime Minister Reese.

Zhao Gao said to Reese, "Fu Su is resolute, brave and good at fighting. After he succeeds to the throne, he will definitely appoint Meng Tian as prime minister. Now the world is actually in the hands of Hu Hai and my master Zhao, and the fate of Fu Su and Meng Tian, including your Reese, is also in our hands. "

For Reese:

Fu Su is the right person who is beneficial to the country, but not to himself.

Hu Hai is a wrong person who is not conducive to the country, but he is "beneficial" to himself.

On balance, Reese chose Hu Hai.

Qin Shihuang's annexation of six countries and the establishment of a unified kingdom had some flavor of striding forward. After the play of Hu Hai, the black sheep of the family, and Zhao Gao, the eunuch, the hard-earned land of the first emperor was gone.

a thousand generations have finally become a joke, even two generations have not passed.

I'll learn from Reese's hindsight: You are the prime minister. If you can choose a wise monarch to oust eunuch Zhao Gao at a critical moment, and you are determined to choose a wise monarch even if you give up your position, what about Qin?

Reese obviously doesn't have such a big picture, because he is also blinded by the desire for power, because he was promoted by selfishness!

finally, he died of selfishness.
