Chapter 12 How to Live?
If you want to be able to soar in the future and protect your family members around you, then Liu Bang and Xiang Yu can achieve a great career by holding one of these two thighs.
But Chen Xu felt that the outcome of these two legs was not very predictable.
First of all, although Xiang Yu is known as a brave and invincible enemy, but the evaluation of him by later generations is not only lamenting and regretting, but also complaining that he has some developed limbs and a simple mind, if Liu Bang is chopped at the Hongmen Banquet, there will be no later siege and untimely death, then Chinese history will turn a big bay after the Hongmen Banquet, and then the establishment of the Han Dynasty will not be a Han regime, but may be a dynasty empire called Dachu.
It's almost impossible for that to happen, though.
Therefore, the matter of hugging Xiang Yu's thigh needs to be carefully considered and considered, although it may be infinitely beautiful, but there are signs of a short life.
And hugging Liu Bang's thighs, Chen Xu feels even more unreliable, it doesn't make sense to mix well, but there is no good ending if he mixes well, Peng Yue, Han Xinyingbu, these generals who were born and died with him were finally buried by him one by one.
And apart from these two giants, it seems that there is no one's thighs worth hugging.
Originally, there was a biggest boss Qin Shi Huang in full bloom, but it was not a long time ago, if you go to hug his thigh, it is dangerous not to mention, and the ending will be even more miserable, after the Xianyang City was broken, Qin Shi Huang's entire family was killed, and countless ministers of the Qin Dynasty were beheaded and abandoned the city.
This is a chaotic era, ordinary people are not good, the scenery is not good to be a national minister, and it is even more unreliable to make money and make a fortune, because the Qin Dynasty was heavy on agriculture and suppressed business, and the status of businessmen was very low, and it was easy to be exterminated, and it was too rich, in this era when most people could not even eat, it was easy to become the target of attack, especially after the fall of Qin Shi Huang, almost all the rich families went bankrupt.
Darkness, it's so dark.
How do you live in this dark age?
If you don't want to die unclear, then you must find a solid backer or a way to advance and retreat freely.
If you really can't do it, you can still raise an army to rebel, but the premise is that you must first envelop Xiang Yu and Liu Bang into your little brothers, but this possibility is almost zero.
Not to mention Xiang Yu's own bravery, he is also the grandson of Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, although the Chu State is destroyed, but the Xiang family has unparalleled appeal among the people and even nobles in the old Chu land, and there is almost a posture of response, otherwise Chen Sheng and Wu Guanggang announced an uprising in Daze Township, Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang almost simultaneously raised troops in Wuzhong against Qin, and soon the wind and clouds occupied a large area of the old Chu, and for a while the limelight became a banner to overthrow the tyrannical Qin.
So even if you want to envelop Xiang Yu at this time, if you don't have an identity and status, you won't have a lot of money, and the Xiang family won't be a dick for you.
As for Liu Bang, you can think about it, but at this time, he is a teenage boy who wants to fool a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old, and let him bow his head and call the lord as soon as he meets.
Because although Liu Bang was quite old at this time, his reputation was not obvious, he was lazy and unwilling to farm, but he was a bold and righteous person, that is, a social gangster, who knew a large number of second-rate people in society, who drank and gambled every day to collect protection money everywhere, and he was also a local pavilion chief.
Although the pavilion chief was a petty official in the Qin Dynasty, he also had jurisdiction over tens of miles of land and thousands of people, and was responsible for taxation, forced labor, theft, and resolving disputes between villagers and neighbors.
Therefore, Chen Xu rashly came to the door to accept him as a junior brother, and the outcome was very predictable, Liu Bang raised his arms and shouted, and Chen Xu, who was definitely beaten by thousands of gangsters, couldn't even recognize Chen Jiang's family.
Once there is no help from these two people and the army rebels, it is almost a dead end, sandwiched between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, with the understanding of the Qin Dynasty and their respective appeal, the possibility of being killed by one of them is very high, that is to say, he finally crossed over and lived less than thirty years old and may hang up.
But if he does not rebel, Qin Shi Huang will have almost no ability to protect himself after hanging up, unless he hides in the deep mountains and old forests and is isolated from the world, but he still lives the current life of poverty and poverty.
Unless......
Chen Xu frowned suddenly, and his face twitched a few times.
According to historical records, the most Qin Shi Huang did after unifying the Six Kingdoms was to travel the world, from 221 BC to 210 BC, he made six trips, and the last time he died of illness when he traveled to the sand dunes (near Xingtai in Hebei).
And his death also became the starting point for the collapse of the Great Qin Empire.
Zhao Gao and Li Si kept their mourning secrets after the death of Qin Shi Huang, and secretly exchanged edicts to force Fusu, the great prince who was supervising the construction of the Great Wall and resisting the Xiongnu in the north, to commit suicide, and then supported Hu Hai to come to power.
After Hu Hai came to power, Qin II spent all day ignoring the government and politics, and at the same time conquered millions of people to build the Great Wall and Afang Palace, which aroused great public resentment, and peasant uprisings began to break out one after another throughout the country.
In the second year of Hu Hai's coming to power, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and under the roar of the prince and general Xiangning, the peasants of the whole country rose up one after another.
Qin died three years later.
The first unified empire in Chinese history, and the shortest-lived dynasty in history, collapsed.
But what Chen Xu was thinking about was not the collapse of the Great Qin Empire, but Qin Shi Huang.
If Qin Shi Huang had not died of illness in advance, then China's history would certainly have been different.
In other words, if Zhao Gaoli did not tamper with the edict after Qin Shi Huang died of illness, but the great prince Fusu came to power, the Qin Empire would have taken a different path entirely.
Because the history records record that the great prince Fusu was resolute and brave, benevolent and righteous, and had political foresight, he opposed Qin Shi Huang's implementation of severe policies such as burning books and pitting Confucianism, and repeatedly persuaded Qin Shi Huang not to be too strict with the peasants, not to levy a large number of conscriptions, which led to Qin Shi Huang's anger and demoted him to the north to build the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, and Qin Shi Huang also figured out these things when he was dying, thinking that what Fusu said was not very wrong, so he issued an edict to let Fusu return to Xianyang to take over the throne, but unfortunately Zhao Gao colluded with Li Si to change the edict in order to be greedy for power, Forcing Fusu to commit suicide, Hu Hai's coming to power directly led to the accelerated fall of the empire.
But no matter whether Qin Shi Huang dies of illness or old age, it doesn't mean much to Chen Xu to live a few more years or a few years less, anyway, he will definitely not be the emperor.
Chen Xu thought that the reason why Qin Shi Huang wanted to tour the country several times, in addition to the Kaifeng Zen Famous Mountain Leshi to commemorate and publicize his great achievements, the main purpose was to find the method of immortality.
