Chapter 282: Egami on Heroes
Seeing that the project that is likely to go down in history is taking shape little by little under his own command, Liu Li, who was forced to resign by King Liang's people in every possible way, has now completely seen it, and he is very calm in the face of King Liang's guilt.
A few people boarded the ferry between Liaocheng and Jining in Shandong Province, and went south along the waterway of the canal, which was really much faster than the land route, passing through Taierzhuang and Xuzhou in later generations, and could reach Huiji County in only ten days, that is, the location of Suzhou in later generations.
These days, Li Han discussed the development of waterways with Liu Li on the boat every day, but he did not go behind the back of King Liang, especially when passing through the Dingtao State and the Chu State, Li Han even judged the shortcomings of the small vassal states with disdain, claiming that if a country wants to be strong, the domestic power must be highly centralized.
Liu Wu came out very smart this time, when Li Han pointed out the country along the way, judged the merits and demerits of his predecessors, and ambitiously expounded the development strategy, he always listened very modestly and carefully, and when he didn't understand or had different opinions, he was very sincere to ask for advice and debate, but Cao Shou was completely impressed by Li Han, and was also ignited by Li Han's enthusiasm.
King Liang has been wondering all this time, when he heard that the imperial brother asked him to be in charge of the defense of Gyeonggi in Weiyang Palace that day, and told him that he was promoted by Li Hanyi, his first reaction was to be grateful, and he felt a great sense of guilt, so he cried all the way out of the palace gate.
Liu Wu felt that he just wanted to be the emperor too much, but he didn't really want to kill his brother, kill his nephew, kill his sister-in-law, and contact Xiang Liu and other gangsters, also because the idea of seeking the crown prince was crushed and unacceptable.
For Liu Qi, Liu Wu has always been resentful, feeling that since his brother has promised his mother, he should fulfill his promise to pass on the throne to him. How can you say that it doesn't count? He even thought that he would do his best to help his brother cultivate Liu Che, and let Liu Che ascend the throne after he died.
However, one unexpected thing after another made Liu Wu deeply desperate for a peaceful succession, and with the instigation of a large group of subordinates who were greedy for meritorious service, he would do perverse things.
This time, he suddenly received the will to let him go to Jiangnan with Li Han, which really made Liu Wu confused about his brother's order, but he was not stupid after all. There is also Lu Jizhu's super insidious staff under him, and it is easy to understand that all these changes are related to Li Han.
From Liu Qi's 180-degree turn in attitude, letting him enter Beijing and not allowing him to return to Liangguo, to now making him the chief of defense of Gyeonggi, and even the abrupt inspection of the large-scale development of the south of the Yangtze River, it was all Li Han's idea.
After secret discussions, Liu Wu decided to follow Li Han on this trip, instead of pretending to be sick and not obeying the order according to Lord Lu Ji's proposal.
He needed to know what Li Han was going to do.
Listening and watching along the way gave Liu Wu a deeper understanding of Li Han's talents. He really couldn't figure out what kind of master could teach such a freak.
Li Han was able to describe in detail how to use the geographical advantages to carry out development, and he was also able to point out the situation in the event of a military disaster. How to defend this place is the best, that kind of novel but wonderful view often makes Liu Wu, who claims to be skilled in the art of war, full of cold sweat.
"The reason why Qin was able to unify the six countries was precisely because the monarchs of the six countries were in their own way, each playing their own small ninety-nine. When other vassal states were encircled and suppressed by the Qin army, the first thing they thought of was not that their lips were cold and their teeth were cold, and there was absolutely no one who was the descendants of Yan and Huang. should unite with the idea of the outside world, but for self-preservation, choose to be a bystander, or even fall into the well, and wait until the neighbors are eaten one by one, only to find out that their little cleverness is actually the biggest stupidity. ”
After Li Han said this, he pointed to the hometown of Chu State, talked about the gains and losses of Taizu and Xiang Yu when he was founding the country, and continued to explain the disadvantages of his regime not being unified: "Uncle Liu, why did Qin Shi Huang unify the six countries and fall apart so quickly? Why was it that hundreds of deserters were able to ignite a spark with a single shout, and finally burned the country of the tyrannical Qin? Why was Xiang Yu so heroic and ultimately defeated? ”
Liu Li heard Li Han not shy away from King Liang's wild words, glared at him and said: "The rights and wrongs of the past, there are people who are specially responsible for research to analyze and record, what do you want a hairy boy to worry about." ”
King Liang's eyes flashed with a strange light and said, "I think the fall of the Qin Dynasty was caused by Qin Shi Huang's rampant conquest and excessive exploitation of the people. The people of the world hate the tyrannical Qin, so there are people who can raise their arms and call out like clouds. As for Xiang Yu's fiasco, it should be caused by his courage and lack of strategy, right? ”
Li Hanhun didn't care about Liu Li's stern eyes, and said seriously: "Uncle Wang's analysis is also correct, but it is not comprehensive. ”
"Oh?" Liu Wu Zhengse said: "I would like to hear the details." ”
"Before Qin, the Seven Kingdoms were dominant, and the long-term Warring States situation has given the people a strong regional concept, in their hearts, I am from Zhao, so I can't agree that the people of Qin are my compatriots, and I am from Chu, so I can't accept that the people of Wei settle down in my Chu, of course, you are the monarch of Qin, but if you want to be the monarch of Qi, don't even think about it."
After listening to Li Han's start, Liu Wu and Liu Li and Cao Shou both thought it was true and nodded together.
"In fact, we are all the people of China, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all one, but we are divided into small pieces of area, and we accept the rule of monarchs with different political views, don't we weaken our own strength?
For example, a pair of chopsticks can be easily broken, so a large handful of chopsticks can be folded together, right?
In the same way, the situation of the Warring States period can no longer adapt to the development of the times, and the brutal wars between countries have made the people unbearable, so Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, which can be regarded as conforming to the time of heaven, and finally succeeded.
Qin Shi Huang is certainly a great hero that no one can deny, he is eloquent and strategic, decisive and resolute, although he did the most pig-headed book burning and pit Confucianism, but I have to say that he did this, leaving a very good foundation for our Han Dynasty, that is, to unify people's hearts.
How should people's hearts be united?
First of all, it is necessary to erase the narrow regional concept in the minds of the common people, so that everyone knows that all the people within the territory of the Celestial Empire are compatriots and cannot kill each other.
However, the pedantic concept of the scholar is the most solid, and if the various theories of the hundred schools of thought are not destroyed and unified into a cultural system of imperial dictatorship that is most suitable for the common people, there will still be problems after all.
Qin Shi Huang may have thought of this, so he will unify the text, unify the weights and measures, and unify the coins, and he has done all of them, but on the issue of the unification of the establishment of the cultural system, he made a very stupid beginning, and at this end, it was only broken, but not established, which led to a terrible fault in the cultural system. ”
Hearing this, the three audience members were completely dumbfounded, these questions used to be completely unrelated to the prosperity and death of the country to them, but now listening to Li Hanyi, it turned out to be such an important matter.
Li Han took a sip of tea and continued: "Culture is the thing that dominates the soul of a nation, and it is also the thing that condenses the blood of a country and the nation, and it is also a huge weapon that rulers rely on to win people's hearts.
Qin Shi Huang did not continue after the destruction, which led to the distraction of people's hearts, especially those surviving scholars, who spread their hatred for the Qin Dynasty with resentment, and planted the seeds of hatred into the hearts of the people little by little. ”
"That's the first concern." Liu Wu asked eagerly, "What about the second one?" ”
Li Han said with a strange laugh: "Ha, the second hidden danger I told the uncle should not be overly excited, let alone angry, I am just talking about things." ”
Liu Wu doted on him and said: "Naughty, along the way, have you talked about less unbelievable concepts, when did the uncle get serious with you?" ”
Liu Li said: "Since you know that it is easy to cause misunderstanding, don't talk about it." ”
Cao Shou interjected: "It's okay general, uncle is very generous, when we went by land, what Li Han said was even more excessive, and he didn't get angry." ”
At this moment, Liu Li had nothing to say, and Li Han said: "The second reason that led to the fall of the Qin Dynasty was that Qin Shi Huang believed in his own strength too much, and he always thought that he could live for many, many years, so he didn't care about the cultivation of the prince.
Qin Shi Huang poured all his energy into creating an iron bucket for his children and grandchildren, forgetting that the correct rule is the basis of keeping the business, and his imperial mind and imperial strategy were not taught to his son, and he died on the way out on the patrol.
is still the same reason, because of overconfidence, Qin Shi Huang did not even clarify the candidate for the prince, obviously more inclined to the prince Fusu, but sent Fusu to the border to supervise the construction of the Great Wall, leaving the stupid Hu Hai by his side, and as a result, the dead eunuch Zhao Gao Jiao gave death to Fusu, and supported Hu Hai, who had a human head and pig brain, to ascend the throne. ”
The audience was silent, and there were different opinions about the inside story of Qin II's accession to the throne, but after all, this was a very taboo thing for every emperor, and who dared to assert it like Li Han was an edict.
"If Hu Hai is smart, he should understand that there is no free lunch in the world, no love for no reason, and no hatred for no reason, why did Zhao Gao try so hard to support him to the top? Don't you want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes to put him on the throne as a puppet, so as to control all the power? Otherwise, how could there be an absurd drama that refers to a deer as a horse?
How idiotic should a person be to trust an internal servant?
Those servants, who have no descendants since they were young, have been deprived of the right to be fathers, and become people who have no descendants, the concept of right and wrong has long been distorted, in their hearts, except for money and power, everything else is floating clouds, and this foundation is not his family, of course, it is not distressing to spoil it.
