Everyone in the world thinks that Emperor Qin is cruel and intolerable, which is just an intuitive reflection of the literati of later generations of the first emperor's "burning books and pit Confucianism", and it cannot withstand a little logical scrutiny. Otherwise, do you really think that such a great feat as "Six Kings Bi Si Hai Yi" can be accomplished by luck?

You must know that Ying Zheng was pro-government at the age of 22 and unified China at the age of 39, and in just over a dozen years, he successively swept away Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, which had held the country for hundreds of years, and had intricate relations with each other. If there is only one person in history who wants to evaluate the "Emperor of the Ages" and there is only one place, there is probably no one more qualified than him.

Yu Yuzi once said: "The king of Qin is a human being, with bee accuracy, long eyes, beloved birds, jackals, little grace and tiger wolf heart, easy to live in the covenant, and easy to eat people." I clothed myself, and then I saw that I was always under me. Sincerity made the king of Qin aspire to the world, and the world was captured. Don't travel with long. As the earliest and most direct basis for evaluating Qin Shi Huang's appearance, this sentence was used in the "Historical Records? Qin Shi Huang Benji" was originally included as one of the negative materials for the brutality of the Qin Emperor. However, if you look at it from the key points, the implication is still very profound.

King Yan Zhao was just building a platform to recruit wise men with gold, and when the purpose was so obvious, he was still regarded as a virtuous corporal. At that time, Qin was already the first powerful country in the world, and Qin Shi Huang was able to "do it under his body" in order to recruit Wei Yuzi, how could such a mind and bearing be comparable to King Yan Zhao?

"So you actually put your target directly on Qin Shi Huang?"

Mai Linglong stopped in amazement after hearing Zhao Gao's words, and almost subconsciously shook her head and said, "I thought you still wanted to start with the explorers. After all, in the form of information transmission between explorers, there is no reason why what we have done in the territory of the Great Han Dynasty should not be passed on here, and under such a reputation, we only need to form our forces and use this as a springboard, and there should be no difficulty in bringing the right to speak to the top. ”

I have to say that this is a very safe method, and it is also in line with Mai Linglong's consistent logical thinking habits, step by step, steadily and steadily, using its own advantages to continuously expand the winning momentum, and finally achieve the strategic goal.

It's a pity that Zhao Gao not only didn't agree, but turned his head and looked at Mai Linglong with a strange gaze, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with her making such a low-level suggestion. Seeing that Mai Linglong followed again, he explained a little impatiently: "What you said is indeed not difficult, but it has no practical meaning for us. Unlike the relatively relaxed Han Dynasty, the current system of the Qin State has no room for high-level explorers to operate. It can be speculated that the explorers who mix here cannot automatically form several large interest groups around the pioneers like Chang'an, and they have little influence at the top. Moreover, the strength of these people is too weak, and it takes a lot of time and energy to organize them piecemeal, and the cost performance is too low. ”

Compared with the impatient expression, Zhao Gao's tone of statement was as calm as ever

When he said this, Mai Linglong was also a little dumbfounded at her conservative and stupid-looking suggestion, and she didn't notice in embarrassment that Zhao Gao's attitude towards her seemed to be very different from the tone that was always half-funny in the past.

Half a point less intimacy, three more points of seriousness.

In the final analysis, the old guy's team or Zhao Gao can't wait. The development progress like theirs now has thrown their peers far away, but Zhao Gao still feels that it is too slow, and he can't wait to fry all these tasks that need to be simmered and fried on both sides, and strive to complete it in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, if you want to get Qin to change the existing national policy, there is indeed no faster speed than directly finding Emperor Qin.

"As soon as I reported to the Prime Minister, I said that Zhi's Mengshi and Tian Ping asked to see His Majesty the Emperor of Qin." After respectfully presenting the prayer post, Zhao Gao led Mai Linglong to wait next to the side door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, completely ignoring the curious and surprised but hurried eyes of the people who came and went around him.

Under Shang Ying's legislation, the Qin people were brave and good at fighting, but the strict laws also made the Qin people accustomed to not caring about those idle things that did not concern them, and under the dominant policy of "strengthening the country and weakening the people", the quality of life of ordinary Qin people was not high, and they did not have extra energy to satisfy their extra curiosity in order to survive.

"Didn't you say that you would go directly to Emperor Qin?" Mai Linglong actually knew the general plan after Zhao Gao selectively reported his name. At the beginning, in the plot world of the three families, the old guy team turned the tide and brought the decline of the Zhi family in history to glory, although it was only a flash in the pan, but it also allowed the Zhi family to show the brilliance and splendor of fireworks, and had a place in history.

There is no doubt that in the family history of the Zhi family, the three of the old guys who led the Zhi family to dominate and return all the power are god-like characters. Although in the process of using some indiscriminate means, the old guy and a few people are notorious among the vassal states. However, rotten eggs are also eggs, and it seems to be quite a great thing to be able to be notorious to the point of hegemony.

In this regard, Emperor Qin's own family is not clear - Qin Shi Huang's great-grandfather, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji, imprisoned the other party when he was in an alliance with King Chu Huai, and finally even let him die in Qin. Compared with this kind of obscene operation, the old guy's team can barely cover up one or two with the trickery of soldiers, which is not shameless.

Emperor Qin's government is enough to be a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, Zhao Gao's unique reputation in this period, coupled with the fact that neither side has a very high moral standard, with these three conditions, Mai Linglong can already accurately conclude that Qin Shihuang summoned the two is not only very likely, but the level of treatment will not even be low.

But this is far from enough in Zhao Gao's opinion.

It is true that a scholar who has come from afar is easy to be reused in the Qin State after showing his talents, but the Qin Emperor is suspicious by nature, and this process is simply impossible without years or even decades. What's more, even if Zhao Gao is not arrogant, he does not have the grasp and courage to stand out among so many historical celebrities, and it is even more unattainable if he wants to dominate the war.

Unless he can find a strong enough character, on the one hand, to give him a grand appearance to increase the weight in the heart of Emperor Qin, and on the other hand, to let the other party implement this strategic goal, it is equivalent to saving the process of climbing the discourse power in the middle of the decades.

"Who do you say is the current prime minister?" Mai Linglong's patience is also enough, and there is no impatience to wait in the shadows under the door with Zhao Gao, in most plot worlds, it is common to wait for key historical figures for several days and nights in a row.

"Li Si, the rest are not qualified." Zhao Gao's statement was short and very determined. In terms of talent, Li Si may not be much better than others, and his reputation and prestige are even inferior, but in terms of historical status and merits, he is the best candidate for the prime minister of the Qin State, and there is no other possibility.

"Is that the Li Si who let Han Feizi die unjustly in prison?" Mak Linglong was shocked and shocked. Han Feizi is Li Si's fellow brother, worshipping under the Legalist sage Xunzi together, the personal friendship between the two is extraordinary, but Li Si is ruthless when it is time to start, and the historical records record that "Li Si makes people leave no medicine and commit suicide." Han Fei wanted to show himself, but he couldn't see it. It can be said that Han Fei was the direct mastermind of his death, and Zhao Gao actually chose to let him recommend him, which is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

"It's this Li Si who wrote the Book of Exhortations." Zhao Gao nodded, but from another point of view, there was enough reason for this character with different opinions.
