Chapter 408: Immortal
Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Tian, and he had high hopes for this general.
"If you can make this special achievement, Meng Tian, you are the Nanzhong of Great Qin! Maybe a hundred years later, you can also enter the Jingbian Temple to accompany you! ”
Meng Tian was surprised and delighted, and bowed down and promised!
Li Si on the side suddenly understood in his heart that the reason why the emperor agreed to set up the Jingbian Temple was not only to unite the people of the world as Heifu said, so that the people of Zhuxia would unanimously attack the Rongdi Xiongnu. In order to spur the generals, above the twentieth rank, there is another supreme reward that they crave!
There are few people in the world who seek immortality, but everyone longs to die and immortalize.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the uncle of the Lu State and the Fan Xuanzi of the Jin State had a discussion about what "death and immortality" was. Fan Xuanzi believes that his ancestors have been nobles from Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou for generations, with prominent family backgrounds and endless incense, which is "immortality". Uncle Sun Leopard thought otherwise, he thought that this could only be called "Shilu" and not "immortal".
What kind of career can be called "immortal"?
Uncle Sun Leopard summed up three things: "There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called three immortals!" ”
Virtue is something that only sages can do, and it is hard to find. Standing up is the pursuit of Wenchen, and Li Si's "Book of Exhortations to Guests" has destined him to leave a name in history. And meritorious service is the goal of military generals.
Nowadays, after meritorious service, he deserves to enjoy the Jingbian Temple, which has become a shortcut for the military generals of the Qin Dynasty to obtain "immortality".
Li Si can foresee that the generals of the empire, from now on, will pursue more frantically military exploits in border warfare, which is also what the emperor is happy to see.
"Captain Ting, Heifu, he always seems to be able to guess His Majesty's desires and give a perfect countermeasure."
Li Si couldn't help but think of the emotion that Zhao Gao didn't seem to have intentionally said to him when he was in Shanwu City......
"The future is terrifying, and the future is not ...... now" This is Lis's new view of Heifu.
However, Li Si also has his own self-confidence, although Heifu's strategy is novel and plays into the emperor's hands, but it ignores an important matter.
Hey, although the afterlife is terrifying, it is still a little naïve and immature.
After returning to the city, Li Si met Qin Shi Huang again and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality. Today, His Majesty has made great contributions to the Jingbian of the enemy, regardless of the country, and all of them have entered the shrine to worship. However, since the Shang Jun changed the law, the ministers who have been committed to unification in the past dynasties have also made great contributions to the country, how can Li Mu and Qin Kai enter the ancestral hall and become immortal names, but Wu Anjun and other heroes have been left behind? If only the Jingbian Temple is erected, I am afraid that the Qin people will not accept it. ”
Qin Shi Huang bowed his head, this is indeed a problem, the competition between Kansai and Kanto has not stopped since the beginning of Qin Shi Huang's succession.
The reason why he was able to pro-government and put down the rebellion of Chang Yu relied on the strength of the Kansai clan and the military nobles, and for this reason, he had to expel the guests for a time. But at that time, Li Si, as the representative of the Kwantung Keqing, strongly persuaded Qin Shi Huang to dispel this idea.
So in the court, Qin Shi Huang continued to use Changping Jun, Wei Yi, Li Si, Feng Shi and other easterners. But in the army, he began to support trustworthy local generals, such as Wang Jian and Li Xin.
This model can be called "Kansai out of generals, Kanto out of the phase".
At present, the world is unified, but the two bowls of water in Kansai and Kanto still have to be even. Even many times, he had to deliberately favor Kansai, and Qin Shi Huang also understood that Qin talent was the foundation of his empire.
Now that Li Mu has entered the Jingbian Temple, what will his opponent Wang Jian and others think? It must be sour.
Although there are "loyal cemetery" in Nanjun and Beidi one after another, the burials are all nobodies.
Li Si suggested: "The minister thinks that another ancestral temple can be built in the old land of Qin in Guanzhong, called the Xun Temple, and the heroes of Myanmar can be unified, Shang Jun, Zhang Zi, Wu Anjun, etc., can enter the temple......"
There are three thresholds for entering the Xun Temple, one of which is that it must have a great contribution to the unification of Qin; Second, it must be at the rank of liege; Third, like the Jingbian Temple, only the dead are sacrificed, and no ancestral hall is established.
"Ting Wei is old and conspiring for the country."
Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate to praise it, but then, he asked Li Si a sharp question.
"Ting Wei thinks, should Lu Buwei enter this Xun Temple?"
Li Si's heart tightened, but he still replied without hesitation: "Although Lü Buwei has the grace of knowing Li Si, but Si is telling the truth, he is just a speculative businessman, stealing the phase, taking advantage of Qin's power, overriding the princes, and seeking personal gain. Yue Han and Wei forced Zhao Yan to the east, and Qin did not benefit the land of the land for five years, but increased the seal between the rivers. If you win and conquer, the benefits will go to Henan, and the disadvantages of the country will be controlled by the princes; The defeat of the war will be blamed on the people, and the disaster will be attributed to the community. What did the Lu family owe to Qin? How can you enter the temple! ”
"Captain Tingwei can see it."
It stands to reason that Qin Shi Huang should be very satisfied with Li Si's answer, when he gave Lü Buwei a letter and reprimanded him in a letter: "What does the king owe to Qin? Qin Fengjun Henan, eating 100,000 households; How can you be close to Qin? Dare to claim the middle father! In the end, Lü Buwei was forced to commit suicide.
But at this moment, Qin Shi Huang was still a little stunned, or recalled the place where he ascended the throne, and Lü Buwei carefully assisted and taught him?
But as an emperor, you must cut off the fetters of the laity, and you can't be compassionate! What you have done, do not blaspheme!
"Very good words."
After a long time, Qin Shi Huang bowed his head and said: "The people who chase Jingbian can't forget to be the heroes of the Great Qin to unify the sea, so let's go, after returning to Xianyang, the court lieutenant and the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historian will be combined, who can enter the temple and who can't enter, you have to take care of it!" ”
"Yui!"
Li Si retreated and left the palace room, even Zhao Gao retreated, and in the room, only Qin Shihuang was left, thoughtful.
To say that Lü Buwei has contributed nothing to the country is false, not to mention his contribution to the support of the previous king, if it were not for the Lü family, he might have to stay in Handan forever and be an abandoned grandson of the Qin king.
During the reign of Lü Buwei, the greatest contribution he made was to prepare for the system after the unification of Qin, and to compile the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lü family.
At the beginning of his pro-government, Qin Shi Huang was also troubled, how should he face the prestige and fame left by Lü Buwei?
In the end, he made a correct choice: if he wants the world to forget a person, then he must establish a merit that is ten times more than him!
When everyone is dazzled by the sun's rays, they don't care about the dim stars on the side.
Sure enough, after the unification of the sea, not many people in the world remembered Lü Buwei's exploits.
What Qin Shi Huang intends to do now is somewhat similar to that of the past, he looked at the map of Beijiao and Henan, and muttered to himself:
"What is the best way to make the people of Daibei forget Li Mu?"
Is it to blindly ban Li Muci and force the Zhao people to forget him? I'm afraid it won't work.
The best way is to make a greater contribution than Master Zhao, Li Mu, Qin Kai, etc. combined!
The third generation of Zhilong, Yuanmai Zhao Yan!
Let the people of later generations mourn and sacrifice in the Jingbian Ancestral Hall, and become many generals under Qin Shi Huangdi! Let the bright light of their stars firmly cover Li Muqin Kai.
"I want to make Shuofang a county, expel Hu Rong, let the remote city in northern Xinjiang be closed, the cattle and horses are wild, there is no dog barking police for a hundred years, and there is no battle for Li Shu!"
"I, swear to destroy the Huns!"
……
When Qin Shi Huang toured the clouds in the north and pointed at the Xiongnu, Chen Ping and his party, after months of trekking, stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at their destination: the Xiongnu were alone in the royal court, and the head of Manchester City!
