Volume 8 Qin Ji III (4)

Pei Gong Xiang Yu went to attack Dingtao.

August. Tian Rong defeated Qi Wang Tian fake. Tian Jiao fled to the state of Chu. Tian Jian originally led the troops to rescue Zhao, but he did not dare to return because he stayed in Zhao State. Tian Rong then established Tian Shi, the son of Tian Dan, as the king of Qi. Tian Rong is the prime minister. Tian Heng is a general. Flat on the ground.

Zhang Han's army was even stronger. Xiang Liang sent envoys many times to meet with Qi Zhao to send troops to attack Zhang Han, Tian Rong said: "As long as the Chu State kills Tian Jiao, and the Zhao State kills Tian Jiao and the field, I will send troops." “

Both Chu and Zhao were unwilling to agree to his request, and Tian Rong was angry and refused to send troops.

Lang Zhong ordered Zhao Gao to be arrogant and tyrannical, and killed many people because of personal grudges. I am afraid that when the minister entered the court and said something, he said to the second: "The reason why the Son of Heaven is nobler than others is because the ministers only hear his voice, but it is difficult to meet him." Your Majesty is now rich and does not need to be proficient in everything. Now that the Holy Lord is sitting in the court, once there is anything inappropriate in his actions, he will expose the shortcomings of the Holy One in front of the minister, so how can the people of the world realize the wisdom of the Holy One? Your Majesty might as well live in the forbidden place, and the ministers and those who practice the Dharma in the service will be treated outside, and if there is something to report to the Holy Lord. There are gains and losses, but they have nothing to do with Your Majesty. In this way, the minister will not dare to play doubts, and everyone in the world will surrender his hand to the Holy Lord. “

The second used his tactics to no longer sit in the court to see the ministers. He often lives in the forbidden middle, and Zhao Gao works with the servants. All court affairs are adjudicated by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao heard that Li Si had unfair remarks, so he went to see Prime Minister Li Si and said: "The number of thieves in the Kanto region has increased, and now the emperor does not know how to save the emergency, but is in a hurry to levy conscription and repair the Afang Palace." Gathering useless things for dogs and horses, the minister wants to admonish, but the position is low, this is a matter of the prince. Why didn't the prince go to admonish? “

"Of course," Lees said. I wanted to say it a long time ago, but now the saint does not sit in the court, and often lives in the deep palace. Let not the words which I desire to speak. But I didn't have a chance to see him. “

Zhao Gao said: "The prince can really advise, I will find an opportunity to tell the lord." ”

So Zhao Gao deliberately told Prime Minister Li Si when the second emperor was having fun and there were women in front of him, saying that the emperor happened to be free at this time and could enter the palace to perform. Li Si to the palace gate. Three times in this way, the second emperor was furious and said: "When I am usually free, the prime minister does not come, but I have just started to have fun, so I come to the door to do things, isn't the prime minister despising me?" ”

Zhao Gao therefore took the opportunity to say: "At the beginning, the prime minister also participated in the sand dune scheme, and now His Majesty has been established as the emperor. And the prime minister's wealth has not changed. What he meant was that he could also split the earth and become kings. His Majesty doesn't ask the ministers, and the ministers don't dare to speak. The prime minister's eldest son, Li Youwei, guarded Sanchuan, and Chen Sheng, a thief from Chu State, were all from the county next to the prime minister, so the Chu thieves openly crossed Sanchuan, but the city guard refused to attack them. Zhao Gao heard that they exchanged letters with each other, but because they did not know the truth, the minister did not dare to tell His Majesty. Moreover, the prime minister lives outside and has more weight than His Majesty. Your Majesty should be on guard. ”

The second thought it was reasonable, and he was going to test the prime minister. I'm afraid that he won't be able to sit down, so he will first make people test the situation of Sanchuan Taishou's communication with thieves. When Li Si heard about it, he wrote to Zhao Gao's shortcomings. said: "Zhao Gao is good at taking advantage and doing harm, and his rights are equal to Your Majesty. At the beginning, Tian Chang was the prime minister of Qi Jiangong, stealing his grace, winning the people, and finally killing Qi Jiangong and stealing the Qi country. This is something that everyone in the world understands. Now Zhao Gao has evil aspirations, and he is more wealthy than the Tian family in Qi at the beginning. He is insatiable and greedy for profit. The power is second only to the master. And the desire is endless. Your Majesty does not want to, and I am afraid that it will change in the future. ”

The second said, "How can you say that? Zhao Gao is just a eunuch, but he does not show his ambitions because of comfort. Don't change your original intention because of danger. Pure practice and goodness, from beginning to end, to be faithful. to keep the position. I just think he's a very virtuous man. And why did Xiangjun doubt him? Besides, I don't trust Zhao Gao, who should I trust? Zhao Jun is a person who is honest and powerful, knows people's feelings, and has a good heart. Xiangjun don't doubt him. “

The second Ya loved Zhao Gao and was afraid that Li Si would kill him, so he told Zhao Gao what Li Si said. Zhao Gao said: "The prime minister's jealousy is Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao is dead, and the prime minister will do what Tian Chang did at the beginning. “

At that time, the world was in turmoil, and there were many thieves. And there was an endless stream of soldiers sent from Guanzhong to the Central Plains to suppress thieves. The right prime minister Feng Quji, the left prime minister Li Si, and the general Feng Zaijin admonished: "The Kwantung group of thieves rose together, Qin sent troops to attack, and the killing was very heavy and the thieves were more and more, all because of the hard work of the war. Caused by excessive taxation. Please stop the construction of the Afang Palace and reduce the turnaround on the four sides. “

The second said: "The reason why people who are noble in the world are noble is that they can wantonly and extremely, and the Lord values the law." So that those who are inferior dare not do wrong. to dominate the four seas. The lord of Yu Xia is the Son of Heaven, and he is in charge of poverty and hardship, so how can he embody the dignity of the law? The first emperor started the princes and the world, and the world was decided. Outside the borders of Yiyi. Make a palace room to show pride. Now that the first emperor has made a good deed, I have been on the throne for two years, and the world's thieves have risen together. The monarchs can't forbid it, but they persuade me to abolish the government of the first emperor, which is impossible to repay the first emperor, and the lower is unwilling to do his best for me. Even so, how can there be a high position of face stealing? "Because of the disease, Li Si and Feng Zheng were imprisoned. convicted him of his crimes, and committed suicide with Feng Zheng. Only Lees is in prison.
