Chapter 33 Section 5 Li Sizhi's Thoughts

Who can take the millet out of the fire and make Ying Zheng change his mind? Without a doubt, Li Si, only Li Si. Let's say that Meng Tian went to see Li Si.After hearing Meng Tian's reason for coming, Li Si's expression became serious for a moment, and instead of answering immediately, he frowned slightly and walked with his hands behind his back, his face full of thought. Seeing Li Si's solemn expression, Meng Tian thought that Li Si was thinking hard about how to persuade Ying Zheng, but he didn't know that Li Si was going through a complicated struggle in his heart at this time.For Li Si, the difficult thing was not to pass Yingzheng's test, but to pass his own test.Keep Wei Liao, why should I?

Thinking of Wei Liao, Li Si felt somewhat unbalanced.We know that Li Si had an unrequited love for Ying Zheng back then, and finally spent a lot of effort and risked his beheading, so he finally met Ying Zheng and confessed his heart.Although Ying Zheng admired him very much, he only granted him the official position of long history.But when it came to Wei Liao's place, everything went wrong. Ying Zheng asked Wei Liao three times in turn, and Wei Liao then rewarded him.Ying Zheng saw that Wei Liao was courteous, dressed and ate the same as Wei Liao, he was extremely humble, and he tried his best to worship Wei Liao as a minister, after being rejected by Wei Liao, he was not angry, but became more respectful to Wei Liao.

The courteous treatment that Ying Zheng gave to Li Si and Wei Liao respectively was vastly different, and when it came to this, the proud and arrogant Li Si naturally couldn't be convinced.Back in the day, Mao Jiao was worshiped as Shangqing as soon as he came to Qin, but he made Yingzheng's mother and son reconcile at any rate, which was considered a great contribution and deserved it.But Wei Liao finally came up with a strategy, but no matter how you look at it, it seems to be plagiarizing his own ideas back then.Therefore, Li Si was not only unbalanced about the courtesy Wei Liao received, he was almost outraged.

However, Li Si is a man of great wisdom after all, and he will not let his personal emotions influence his decision.He only asked himself one question: Is it good or bad to keep Wei Liao in Xianyang? From Li Si's point of view, Wei Liao first rejected the position of Shangqing, and now he chose to leave Xianyang, which shows that although this person has benevolence, he has no ambition. Keeping Wei Liao in Xianyang will definitely take away part of Ying Zheng's favor and reliance on him.However, Wei Liao's advantages are mainly in the military, and there is not much conflict with his own sphere of influence.

A group of flowers belongs to one person, and only then will the emperor know the respect of the emperor.Ying Zhenggui is the king of Qin, and he will not be satisfied with a woman, nor will he be satisfied with a man.Therefore, Li Si was doomed not to be able to get all of Ying Zheng's favor, and if he wasn't divided by Wei Liao, he would be divided by others. In the current state of Qin's political arena, the conflict between foreigners and the clan is still sharp, and it is the main theme of power disputes.Wei Liao is also a foreigner.The enemy of the enemy is also the friend.

By admonishing and expelling the guests, Li Si can be said to have regenerated grace to the foreigners. His leadership position among the foreigners cannot be shaken by Wei Liao who has just arrived. The most important thing is age.Wei Liao is in his sixtieth year and his future is limited. Even if he succeeds, his future will not last long. He is doomed to be only a transitional character. The most important thing is that Li Si is confident that even if he is Wei Liao and Zhang Liao, he can win the battle. The most important thing is that Wei Liao has his own unique value. Ying Zheng is very clear about this, so he treats Wei Liao with such courtesy.Therefore, he, Li Si, must not pretend not to know.

Meng Tian couldn't wait for Li Si's answer for a long time, so he couldn't help being anxious, so he urged, "Wei Liao is going far away. Please make a quick decision, sir." Li Si stopped and sighed, "Your Majesty is in a rage, and it's not easy to remonstrate. Please look in front of you and do your best." Meng Tian was overjoyed, so he went to Xianyang Palace with Li Si.Along the way, Li Si babbled from time to time, "The kid misunderstood me, the kid misunderstood me." But after careful consideration of his tone, it seemed more like he was chatting and complaining, rather than blaming Meng Tian.
