Chapter 84 Chapter Thirteen: The Number of Heaven and Earth

The relationship between Ying Zheng and Han Fei began with Han Fei's two articles - "Lonely Wrath" and "Five Worms".After reading it, I was greatly admired, and even expressed the feeling that "the widow can see this person and play with him, and he will die without regret!".It can be said that there was a wonderful beginning between Ying Zheng and Han Fei. However, as Ying Zheng read more and more of Han Fei's works, the feeling of astonishment at the beginning no longer existed, the passion burned out, and the frenzy turned into calmness.As a result, his understanding of Han Fei changed from blind to objective, and then from objective to subjective.

We know that movie trailers are usually fantastic.But when you pay for the movie theater and watch the whole movie in a dark room, you find that far from being the case, the feature film is not as attractive and satisfying as the trailer.For Ying Zheng, the two articles "Lonely Wrath" and "Five Beetles" are equivalent to the trailer of Han Fei's thoughts.After watching all of Han Fei's thoughts, Ying Zheng found that he didn't like the whole movie.Unlike ordinary audiences, although he can't ask for a refund, at least he can put the director in jail. The same is probably true of love.In the love trailer, there are all golden boys and girls, beautiful and beautiful.However, where is perfection in reality?Once the trailer was turned into a feature film, the two were together day and night, so they had no scruples, and all the shortcomings came out, so they exclaimed that they were fooled.When they broke up, the two were relatively dumbfounded, and sighed together: If life is just like the first meeting...

When we first saw each other, we were in a hurry to leave, filled with water, and our pulse was speechless.The beauty of artistic conception is nothing more than this.Why bother to swim across that river?The ancient Persian poet Sanai wrote a poem about a river crossing, which can be used as an admonition for the world: Once upon a time, there was a man whose lover lived on the other side of the river.Driven by the magic of love, the big river is wide and rough, and he swims across it every day to have a tryst with his lover.One day, he discovered that his lover had a mole on his face.The lover then told him that you can't swim back tonight, otherwise you will be drowned.Because the fire of love covered your eyes before, you will not notice this mole at all.And now you notice this mole, which means that your love has disappeared.The man refused to listen and jumped into the water, but he really died and was buried among the waves.

Alas, this was done. Li Si made the last effort for Han Fei, and said to Ying Zheng, "Han Fei is a rare genius with profound knowledge. We should let him continue to write books and use them as a help from classics. He is so talented. If he can't use it, it will be a pity for the country." To this question, Ying Zheng did not answer directly, but suddenly asked, "So far, how many books of Han Fei are there?" Li Simo counted for a moment, then replied, "Counting the letters written in prison in Japan and South Korea, there are fifty-five articles in total."

Yingzheng smiled and said, "Fifty is five, and the number of heaven and earth has been exhausted. Why do we need to add more benefits?" : The yang number is odd, so one, three, five, seven, and nine belong to the sky, the so-called "day number five". The yin number is even, so two, four, six, and eighty belong to the earth, so-called "the earth number five". Odd and twenty-five, five and even, thirty, a combination of the two, fifty and five.) Ying Zheng's casual words completely blocked Han Fei's retreat from writing a book.Let’s look back at Han Fei’s final fate at this time. Its absurdity is like a piece of black humor.The purpose of Han Fei's book "Meeting Qin for the First Time" was to save his life, but he just happened to make up the number of fifty-five, which also gave Ying Zheng the best excuse not to forgive him.The number of heaven and earth is full, which undoubtedly gave Ying Zheng a strong psychological hint: Han Fei just wrote fifty-five articles, but it was God's will in the dark. no.

Now that the matter has come to this, Li Si didn't dare to argue any further, so he could only obey Ying Zheng's wishes, and said in a low voice, "What the king said is true." Ying Zheng looked down at Li Si, and said, "Nevertheless, Han Fei's book should not be dismissed lightly. Its thorough discussion of the law surpasses Shang Yang's. Back then, Lu Buwei wrote "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" in an attempt to establish himself as our Great Qin The classics of governing the country. In my opinion, this position should be reserved for Han Fei's book. I don't know what Tingwei thinks?"

Li Si fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man. A husband's words are more valuable than words. Han Fei can be said to have died without regret if he was so favored by His Majesty." At this time, Li Si had completely given up his last illusion of saving Han Fei, so he said "die without regret" instead of Han Fei.Since Yingzheng intends to regard the book "Han Feizi" as the bible of governing the state of Qin, with his character, how could he tolerate a theoretical authority over him? In order to better understand this point, we need to invite the great Mr. Dostoevsky and his immortal masterpiece "The Brothers Karamazov".
