Chapter 67 The fifth quarter is low-key

Who is the King of High C? Pavarotti. Who is the King of Bass C? no one knows. The truth is this: high-profile people are famous, low-key people are unknown. Li Si has made a long history, and he can be regarded as stepping into the ranks of senior officials of the Qin court with his head held high.But he is the most low-key and least known of many high-ranking officials.He does not pursue exposure and never publicly expresses his political views.Not to mention the common people of the Qin State, even many senior officials in the government didn't even know that there was such a person as Li Si.He attended every court meeting, but never said a word, as if he was not there.Therefore, for quite a long time, Li Si did not attract any decent attention in the political arena of Qin State, and everyone thought that he was just an idler.

There is one temptation in the world that is the most irresistible.That is to return to the hometown with honor and to return to the hometown with rich clothes.Xiang Yu said: "wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, like clothes embroidered at night, who knows!" Just to satisfy his vanity, he insisted on setting the capital in Pengcheng instead of Xianyang, which is more conducive to ruling the world. Death sowed the seeds of disaster.Throughout Xiang Yu's life, there has always been a strong showmanship and performance. He is more suitable to be a star than a king. Today, many Chinese and overseas Chinese who have achieved success overseas have returned to their hometowns one after another, or invested or donated money, and left buildings named after themselves in their hometowns.Although this move is to repay the love of the people in their hometown, it is undeniable that their mentality of returning to their hometown and honoring their ancestors is also a major motivation, especially considering the situation when they left.

Zarathustra practiced in seclusion for ten years, and the first sentence he said after leaving the seclusion was to say to the sun: "Oh, you, great planet! If you don't have the people you shine on, where is your happiness? For ten years you have come daily to my cave: without me, and my eagle and serpent, you would be weary of your own light and this old way." Without humans, the existence of the sun would be meaningless.In other words, if you have money and don't spend it indiscriminately, it means you have no money.Without an audience, no matter how good a show is, it will be nothing.It takes a lot of self-control to resist not going back to your hometown to show off your prestige when you finally become a high-ranking official, just like a woman who buys new clothes but resists not looking in the mirror.

When Li Si left his hometown, everyone laughed at him, waiting to see his jokes, and waiting for him to come back in a mess. No one could have imagined that he would achieve what he is today.Now that he has finally become a high-ranking official, if he goes back to his hometown, shouts and hugs, and puts on a show in front of the villagers, so that those who laughed at him at the beginning will shut up, and those who despised him at the beginning will be condescending, Isn't it a great joy in life?However, Li Si didn't care about such fun, and he would keep a low profile to the end.When sending people to Shangcai's hometown to pick up his wife and children, he only let the messenger say that he was a small official in Xianyang and barely solved the problem of food and clothing.
