Chapter 146 Chapter 3 Death Instinct

Although Freud never paid attention to this specific group of eunuchs, we can use his theory to conduct some brief analysis on this group of eunuchs. Freud's later thoughts believed that people have two instincts, one is the instinct of love (or sexual instinct), and the other is the instinct of death.The former is constructive and the latter is destructive.The purpose of the latter's destruction is to seek death in a straightforward way, or in an elegant way to desire to return from an organic state to an inorganic state.Although these two instincts have opposite effects, they coexist at the same time. When one rises, the other disappears, and when one disappears, the other rises.

For reasons that everyone can understand, Zhao Gao's sexual instinct has been permanently suppressed due to the loss of tools. Relatively speaking, in him, the death instinct is particularly strong.In fact, we can also feel the authenticity of this statement from what Zhao Gao did in his life.Zhao Gao's actions are all unscrupulous and reckless, with only one purpose, destruction, destruction, and continuous destruction. The fear of death, on the other hand, is the development and continuation of the fear of castration.Obviously, castration is already a fait accompli for Zhao Gao, so fear in this regard will naturally not exist.In other words, death has no fear for Zhao Gao.Death instinct told him that death is the most perfect destination and relief.

A similar mentality is not only reflected in Zhao Gao alone, but in almost all the eunuchs.Once such a person gains power, one can imagine the danger.From this, it is not difficult for us to understand why in the history of China, eunuchs played disgraceful roles most of the time, played a negative role in destruction, and brought down one dynasty after another.Of course, if we expand on this, it will be another grand proposition, and we will stop here. To sum up, this is destined to be a gamble that Li Si must lose, because Zhao Gao can afford to lose, but he cannot afford to lose. Li Si was silent for a long time, and sighed, "Empty words are not proven, seeing is believing. Since the emperor's edict is in your hands, why don't you take it and have a look at it?"

Li Si said so, it seemed that he was looking for a step to admit defeat.But if Zhao Gao gets carried away because of this and agrees hastily, it will be a big bad thing.Naturally, Zhao Gao would not fall into the trap easily, so he gambled harder and more decisively. Zhao Gao laughed and said, "The prime minister thought I was a three-year-old child? If I hand over the late emperor's edict, will my life still be saved? The late emperor's edict, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't. It all depends on the prime minister's thoughts." Maybe the real edict has been burned long ago, who can say for sure?"

Li Si said coldly, "I can kill you right now." Zhao Gao laughed loudly and said, "It's what I want. If I die today, I will be able to see the late emperor's edict tomorrow." Li Si naturally also knew that since Zhao Gao dared to come, he must have a backup.Perhaps, Zhao Gao had already placed the will of Yingzheng in a safe place and handed it over to a safe person. As long as he died, this person would hold the will and hand it over to Ziying. Seeing that Li Si was silent, Zhao Gao didn't dare to push him too fast.Although Li Si lost a crushing defeat, as the winner, he must give Li Si a certain amount of compensation, regardless of his demeanor at the gaming table or his own safety.Otherwise, the gambler who has lost everything can't do anything!

Zhao Gao said, "Please rest assured, Prime Minister, as long as Zhao Gao is alive, no outsiders will know about the edict. If Zhao Gao dies, he will burn the edict to die, and he will never tire the prime minister." Li Si's face softened slightly, and Zhao Gao made another big concession, or an exchange of interests, and said, "Li You is sitting in Xingyang, but he can't hold out. He allows the thieves to enter Hangu Pass and go straight to Xianyang. Li You dereliction of duty In this way, do you have no second thoughts? Or maybe the prime minister instructed you to have other plans?"

Li Si's complexion changed, but Zhao Gao said with a smile, "Prime Minister, you don't have to worry. You know about this matter, and you don't need to alarm Your Majesty. From now on, the Prime Minister and Gao will work together to punish the thieves outside and help Qin inside." Room, live up to the late emperor’s intention of entrusting Gu. What does the prime minister think?” Li Si was silent for a long time, then waved and said, "See off the guests." Zhao Gao knew that Li Si had already disarmed and surrendered, so he stood up contentedly, cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister stay, Zhao Gao bids farewell."
