Chapter 10 Chapter 9: Behind the Famous Articles

Although Meng Tian was a descendant of the general family, he was addicted to reading scriptures and literature since he was a child. Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" made him deeply moved.On the way back to Xianyang, Meng Tian praised sincerely: "Mr.'s pen is like a dragon swimming halfway through the sky, and it is not owned by the world. This book of advice will surely be passed down for a long time, and it will be an example for future generations." After hearing Meng Tian's praise, Li Si's expression was still serious.For Li Si, it was not difficult to write "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" well. He accidentally wrote "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" into a masterpiece through the ages.The difficult thing is to let the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" achieve its mission-to change Ying Zheng's decision, save his fate, and save the fate of those foreigners.If this cannot be done, "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guest" can only be a pile of gorgeous text garbage.Li Sicai doesn't care how many people in later generations will read his "Book of Admonishment and Zhuke", how many scholars will comment on his "Book of Admonishment and Zhuke", and how many students will interpret his "Book of Admonishment and Zhuke" word by word.There is only one reader in his eyes - Ying Zheng!

The so-called time is beyond poetry.Don't look at the fact that when Li Si wrote the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests", he wrote it in one go, but Meng Tian didn't know the work he put in outside the text.Perhaps, when Li Si had a premonition that the clan would be unfavorable to foreign visitors, he had already begun to conceive this article.When he was wandering the streets of Xianyang like Bloom, this article was still circling in his mind; on the way to exile, he did not stop brewing this article.Taking such a long time to conceive, Li Si is obviously not considering the words, but has other considerations.

First of all, he needs to understand Yingzheng's thinking, consider the problem from Yingzheng's perspective, analyze his situation, judge his position, and then prescribe the right medicine, so that the Sri Lankan people will not say anything, but they must be right. If "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guest" comes out, it's over, and once it comes out, it will hit Yingzheng's arms, not the yin. Second, and equally important, Li Si must establish his own writing posture and position himself.There are two precedents of failure in front of him, enough for him to learn a lesson.Speaking of which, the protagonists of these two failed precedents both have some connections with Li Si: one is Qu Yuan, who is also from Chu, and the other is his senior brother Han Fei.

Seeing Qu Yuan chasing him, he made Lisao.Han Fei didn't use it, just wrote lonely and angry.Although Qu Yuan was complaining and mourning, and Han Fei was complaining and angry, they were all complaining after all.Li Si is also qualified to complain. He was expelled innocently, and he was indeed wronged, and the wronged was not small.Qu Yuan is an aristocrat, he can complain and mourn; Han Fei is a son, he can complain and be angry; although Li Si's status is not as high as these two, at least he can complain and mourn.And if it is written according to this positioning, it is not difficult to imagine that the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" will have a different face: I, Li Si, have worked so hard, spent so many sweet times with the king, and now I am framed by the clan , how the fate is unfair, the north wind blows, the snowflakes drift, how bitter the exile is, how miserable the foreign guests are, and add a few close-ups of the old people and children... and so on and so on.

No one said that writing in this way is not possible, but from what happened to Qu Yuan and Han Fei, it can be seen that a sad gesture cannot solve the problem.Generally speaking, a bitter woman is even scarier than a shrew.Shrews don't know how to reason, but women who hate women don't know how to reason.No one is willing to be a container of grievances, let alone a high-ranking king.Furthermore, Yingzheng is not an ordinary king. He is able to do such things as throwing money at his two younger brothers and imprisoning his mother. It is obvious that he is definitely not a person who can be moved with affection.To deal with Yingzheng, one must be sensible.So we can see that in "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Customers", Li Si jumped out of the small pattern of personal emotions, and also jumped out of the sad atmosphere created by the foreigners who watched him write, and always kept calm and restrained, standing on the sidelines Write the advice from a fair point of view, without mentioning any personal grievances or the desolation of foreigners.In his article, there is only blood, no tears.

Soon to meet Ying Zheng, Li Si needed to know Ying Zheng's reaction to the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" in advance, so he asked Meng Tian, ​​"Did you accompany the King when he was reading the book of remonstrance?" Meng Tian nodded, and said: "Mr.'s book, the king praised it, but he couldn't release it. There are a few lines in it, the king read aloud, sighed repeatedly, with a deep understanding." Hearing Ying Zheng's reaction, Li Si became more interested, and asked Meng Tian again, "Can you recite my book?" Meng Tian has a camera-like memory, and immediately memorized the "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" verbatim.Li Si showed approval, and said: "Do you still remember the few words that the king read aloud?"

Meng Tian said: "I remember. It's..." Li Si interrupted Meng Tian, ​​and said: "But the following three sentences? The king does not ignore the common people, so he can understand his virtue; therefore, the land has no four directions, the people have no foreign countries, the four seasons are full of beauty, and the ghosts and gods bless them. So you are invincible; if you are self-defeating inside and out, you will resent the feudal lords, and if you want the country to be safe, is it impossible to obtain it?" Every time Li Si said a word, the astonishment on Meng Tian's face intensified.After Li Si finished his three sentences, Meng Tian exclaimed: "Sir, you are really a god. The king sighed for a long time, it is these three sentences. Meng Tian is puzzled, how can you predict the prophet? Is there some mystery hidden in these three sentences?"

Li Si laughed and said, "You don't understand, but Your Majesty does." Li Si knew that Ying Zheng saw the subtext in his article, so he called him to meet him.Li Sijia whipped the horse, the road back to Xianyang was still very long, and at the end of the road, he would stand in front of Ying Zheng and reveal the subtext of the article one by one. Thinking of this, Li Si stopped smiling and fell into thinking again.It's not time to laugh yet, the test for him has just begun.
