Chapter 78 Section 7 Han Fei goes to jail

Besides, when Yao Jia wanted to avenge Han Fei, he had done a lot of investigation and research beforehand.Han Fei knew everything he had done since he entered the Qin Dynasty. Then he met Ying Zheng and said, "I am weak in talent and wisdom, and my energy is declining. I am afraid that I will not be able to be driven by the king. I would like to give the bones to the city and raise them for the rest of my life." .” Ying Zheng was surprised.Yao Jia wants to put down the burden?Is it too early to retire at forty?This is not Yao Jia's usual style.Yingzheng knew that there must be a reason for this, so he said, "Qin takes the world as his ambition, and when he is using Qing, he is also using Qing. The eradication of the six kingdoms and the return of the four seas are an immortal event. Qing Ning has no intention ?”

Yao Jia said, "If I go on an envoy again and hang out alone, but my suspicions are endless, I am afraid that I will not end well. If you dare not go back, please resign." Ying Zheng said, "Why did you say that?" Yao Jiadao said, "I have been sent as an envoy and I can't return for several years. Some people in the court have slandered me, and I am far away in a foreign country. I can't justify myself. Where will I go?" Yingzheng said, "Don't worry about doubting people, and don't doubt about employing people. Since the widow has given you foreign affairs, you can do it with confidence."

Yao Jiadao, "This is the luck of the minister. The minister thinks to himself, once the minister is dismissed, who will benefit? The countries in the East also. Anyone who slanders the minister will be the harm of Qin and the benefit of the six countries. There are ministers in the court In this case, my king must not ignore it." Ying Zheng said, "Those who hate you are not the ministers of the court and China, but Han Fei." Yao Jia was waiting for Ying Zheng to take the initiative to "confess" Han Fei, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Han Fei is a man, I know him well. Since Han Fei entered the Qin Dynasty, every time he debated with ministers, he always tried his best to present Han Fei, confuse the public with clever words, and confuse people's eyes and ears. Han Fei asked to kill Zheng Guo first, and then hired the clan. The two strategies, both of which were hidden in evil intentions, were intended to disrupt Qin. Selling his traitors. You can do one thing or two, but not three. Han Fei’s ambition is to weaken Qin and save Han, Ming also.”

Ying Zheng fell silent.Yao Jia said again, "Han Fei, the princes of Han. If the king wants to merge with the princes, he must end up as Han and not Qin. This is a human nature. If the king doesn't use it now, he will stay for a long time and return. This is a legacy. It is not as good as Use the law to punish him." For Han Fei, Ying Zheng originally had extremely high expectations, and planned to use him more after the demise of South Korea.However, recalling Han Fei's performance since entering Qin Dynasty, Ying Zheng had to admit that Yao Jia's words were indeed reasonable.Now it seems that helping the Qin State to open up territories and unify the world is definitely not Han Fei's strengths, nor is it Han Fei's wish.

However, Ying Zheng still couldn't make up his mind to kill Han Fei.Yao Jia must want to put Han Fei to death, so he said, "Han Fei is not a minister to my king, but he is a minister to ministers. It is not useful for things, and it is of no benefit to the present. In the past, the Taigong punished Huashi, and Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao. He used his negative talents to confuse the masses. If Han Fei is not punished today, there will be no way to clean up the kingly way and stabilize the officials." Ying Zheng sighed, "Han Fei is famous in the world, so don't be careless. As you said, Han Fei's ambition to weaken Qin and preserve Han is only a guess after all. If he suddenly imposes the death penalty, he may not be able to conquer the world."

Yao Jia said, "What's the difficulty? Han Fei's treachery can be known to the officials at once." Ying Zheng nodded and said softly, "Yes." Regarding Han Fei's future encounters, "Historical Records" only uses four short words: "The next official will rule the nonsense".However, besides the person concerned, how many people can really understand the pain and blood behind the word "cure"? People are more or less guilty of sin.The repentance of Shishi, the first sin of Taoism, and the confession of Christianity all make people voluntarily confess their sins.Prisons, on the other hand, use coercive means such as violent punishment to force people to admit their sins.

Han Fei was imprisoned in Yunyang Prison.The orders received by the wardens were, "Govern Han Fei, so as to obtain the truth of the weak Qin and Han." Since this is the case, there is no fixed standard for sentencing.As a result, Han Fei's fate, or simply put, Han Fei's life, was completely in the hands of these jailers. The King of Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with.Qin Fa has always been cruel and ruthless, and the jailers who enforce the law are even more like tigers and wolves.Prisons are originally places where the law is enforced, but they are often the place where the law is least accessible.For the prison guards, it is common practice to use chicken feathers as arrows to change small punishments into large ones, while others have the intention of taking them without a hair.Considering how expensive Lai Ai was, she was tortured to the point of being out of shape after being imprisoned for a few days, which can be a proof.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, Zhou Bo, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, was granted the title of Marquis Jiang, and he became the prime minister.Once in prison, he was insulted by the prison guards, and his life was almost lost.Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent envoy Chijie to pardon him, so that he could be rescued.It can be seen that the prison is almost an independent kingdom, and it is easy to get in, but it is very difficult to get out.After Zhou Bo was released from prison, he also had to sigh, "I have commanded millions of soldiers, but I know how valuable prison officials are!"

Inside the high wall and in the dark room, Han Fei endured physical torture and insult, feeling the power and pain of the law.At this moment, I don't know if he will suddenly think of Shang Yang, the representative of Legalism who is as famous as him. At that time, Shang Yang was falsely accused of treason and fled to Guanxia. He wanted to stay in a dormitory for one night.The owner of the inn didn't know Shang Yang, but only knew that the man in front of him was unknown, so he rejected him, saying: "Shang Jun's law, let others who have no experience sit." For the shame of the law, this is the end!"
