Chapter 159 Closing remarks

Text / Li Jingyuan (Publisher) The final edition of "Bleeding Official Career", in all honesty, is better-looking than the first volume.The King of Qin annexed the six kingdoms, unified the world, and established the Qin Empire. His prestige was beyond compare.However, the good times didn't last long, Emperor Qin ordered to burn books and confuse Confucianism, indulge in immortal medicine, and be lazy in state affairs. Later, Zhao Gao privately changed his will and appointed the cruel Hu Hai as the prince, and Qin Shihuang's other nineteen sons were all killed. The victim of the struggle, a generation of founding fathers, ended up being cut in half and wiped out the fate of the nine clans.

Li Si said two famous words in his life, which were not about politics.One sentence is that when he was guarding the granary in Shangcai at the age of twenty-six, he saw a shriveled and shriveled little mouse stained with feces, and he thought: Life is like a mouse, if it is not in the granary, it will be in the toilet.In Qian Ning's "Qin Prime Minister Li Si", it is recorded that Li Si once sighed: "The virtuousness of a person is like a mouse, and he is in his own ears."It means: "Whether you will be successful in your life depends on finding a place for yourself."

This mouse made Li Si make up his mind to get rid of the fate of mediocrity and embark on an official career step by step. He succeeded, and he also assisted King Qin to achieve the great cause of unification in the Spring and Autumn Period, leaving an indelible glory in history. However, those who come out to play around will have to pay back sooner or later.Everyone, when he wants to live another life, must have another ending waiting for him.This is something the warehouse manager did not expect when he went to the toilet. In October of the third year of Qin II, Li Si was trapped by the traitor Zhao Gao and sentenced to beheaded.Originally, according to Zhao Gao's intention, he was to be sentenced to five punishments, the cruelest punishment, Hu Hai had some scruples, after all, he was a generation of heroes, and finally the sentence was changed to beheaded in half.

During the execution, nearly a thousand people from Li Si's father's family, mother's family, and wife's family knelt together, and Xianyang City was empty.Li's family is dead today, what a tragedy.The executioner asked Li Si what he had to say when he was about to die. He looked at his son kneeling beside him, forced a smile, and said his last line on the stage of Chinese history: "If I want to lead the yellow dog with Ruofu, we will both come out of Shangcai." Chasing the cunning rabbit at the east gate, how can you get it!" After speaking, the father and son embraced and cried bitterly.

At the last moment of his life, what came to Li Si's mind was not the great achievements he made in his life, but the simple and pure happiness in his youth.Together with his two sons, he led the yellow dog out of Shangcai Dongmen and chased the cunning rabbit in the wild.But, if he really lived such an ordinary life, would he be satisfied?Will he be happy?People pay a high price for their ideals, and when they succeed, they lose themselves.This is a fair world, everything you get has to be exchanged with what you have, you can't have both. Huaibi, brocade clothes, beauty, causing trouble innocently, is like burning one's body with teeth.Everything happened because of being "tempted".

History is really full of ruthless irony, everyone is a passer-by and a pawn.After Li Si was beheaded, Zhao Gao became prime minister and took charge of the court.Ten months later, Zhao Gao killed the king.Eleven months later, Ziying succeeded to the throne as the King of Qin, and Zhao Gao was torn apart by the chariot, and the eunuch Zhao Gao, who turned a deer into a horse, could not escape the end of the "three tribes of barbarians".Soon, Liu Bang invaded Xianyang, Qin State perished, Xiang Yu was defeated at Gaixia, besieged on all sides, and committed suicide in Wujiang River. That was another historical situation.

The dead are long gone, and since then I don't know that there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.
