Chapter 133: The First Emperor felt offended.
The First Emperor frowned and looked at Zhao Si: "Why do you want to die?" β
"How can a law-changer die a good death?" Zhao Si asked rhetorically.
The First Emperor was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, and he understood what Zhao Si meant.
This is not without a purpose, Wu Qi, Shang Ying, whoever changes the law will not have a good death.
This is an indisputable fact, a lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the rear, Zhao Si said that I only had to die to show His Majesty, not a lie.
But the first emperor was very dissatisfied with this sentence, and the dissatisfaction was not that Zhao Si was afraid of death, but that kind of inexplicable distrust.
The First Emperor was essentially a tolerant king, but also a king who could defend his subjects.
Zhao Si's words of fear of death were offensive to the First Emperor.
Why did the lawbreaker die? Either the monarch is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate people. Either the sovereign is incompetent and cannot share the pressure on his subordinates.
The First Emperor never thought that the kings of the previous dynasties could be compared with him, compared with other kings, his tolerance was greater, whether it was Wang Jian or Wei Xuanzi, they all died well.
His methods are also more ruthless, whether it is to eliminate his relatives, or to destroy the Six Kingdoms, or to suppress Chang Yu, and to seize power from LΓΌ Buwei, his skills are beyond doubt.
He is also willing to share the pressure for his subordinates, after dominating the world, the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and the line is the same, although it is Li Si who leads the implementation, but it is the first emperor who firmly stands behind Li Si to resist the pressure for him, and even has become the main target of public opinion.
The First Emperor did not have the habit of throwing it away when it was used up, and although the people of the world feared and demonized the First Emperor, one thing that cannot be denied is that the First Emperor is definitely a leader worthy of death.
The First Emperor did feel that he had been offended, not because of Zhao Si's greed for life and fear of death, but because of the distrust of the little guy in front of him.
Whether Zhao Si thinks that the First Emperor can't protect him, or thinks that the First Emperor won't protect him, it's essentially distrust.
Either they don't believe in the ability of the First Emperor, or they don't believe in the personality of the First Emperor.
"Do you have to do this?" The First Emperor's face was serious, and his gaze was slightly calm.
"That minister is the only one who dies!" Seeing this, Zhao Si also restrained the wry smile on his face and replied solemnly.
"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but the minister's eyes are low, and the empty energy knows but can't do it, lest he spoil the country's plans." Zhao Si is not arguing, but expounding the facts.
If you make a position, Zhao Si believes that the current self is at best a speech official who expresses opinions and comments on the government and politics, rather than a real official who implements policies and governs the local government.
He really doesn't have the skills, the experience, the ability to implement such a policy.
"It's okay, I will let Li Si tutor you, with you as the mainstay, the Great Qin Dynasty, the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors, whatever you want, I will give you." The First Emperor scoffed.
Zhao Si opened his mouth...... In the end, he didn't continue to defend himself.
"Can the minister think about a ...... or two," Zhao Si looked up.
"Three days, three days, I will see the first volume." The First Emperor held out his finger.
Zhao Si nodded in a complicated mood, and the First Emperor did not continue to speak, but just lowered his head to deal with the twists and turns.
Zhao Si sat down on his knees, looking at the bamboo slips in front of him but his thoughts were complicated, and he didn't know where to start, and then he found a scroll of bamboo slips that had not been written, and took up the pen and condensed.
"Relocation Order"
The pen is three words, but at this moment, it seems to have a thousand weights.
"Damn, why did you fall on me with this matter......" The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The current Great Qin is different from the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of Han's father, Emperor Jing of Han, had already cut down the feudal domain and put down the Rebellion of the Seven Kings.
During the Han Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms had been completely swept into the dust of history.
The Han Dynasty also did not have such high taxes and such exaggerated rates of conscription as the Qin Dynasty.
During the period of Emperor Wu, there was already a certain basis for centralization, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty migrated the wealthy, according to the standard of wealth.
There is no way to compare the rich and the noble, the nobles are of thousand-year-old blood, what is the Haoqiang?
Haoqiang is rich, but it is only a place, but the nobles are really famous all over the world, family marriages, and the nobles of the six countries are connected by blood.
Even if you go a little farther, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the Qin royal family are also related.
It is conceivable that the pressure faced by Great Qin was much greater than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to implement the order of moving Maoling.
It is extremely difficult for a strong rebellion to cause a sensation in a county, but those big nobles can easily set off a rebellion involving a county, and even form a wide and deep network of relationships because of the relationship between in-laws.
Compared with Haoqiang, it can only harm one place, and it is difficult to connect with each other.
The aristocracy is really able to concentrate firepower, and people really have connections and contacts.
It is true that Great Qin has a million soldiers...... It is true that Great Qin has already destroyed the Six Kingdoms.
However, in addition to being able to fight itself, Great Qin relied on long-distance friends and close attacks to find ways to trap and harm the powerful ministers of other countries.
In fact, Great Qin was far from having an overwhelming advantage over the Six Kingdoms, and when the Six Kingdoms merged, the Qin State was also in danger.
It's just that the monarchs of the six countries have different minds and demands, and they have given Great Qin a division and turned it into a combination, breaking through the vertical and horizontal, and breaking free from the alien formation.
Looking at the six countries, the monarch and the minister cannot be of the same heart, the courtiers have the demands of the courtiers, and the kings have the thoughts of the king, so Qin can dominate the world.
However, once the relocation decree was issued, it gave the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms a reason to unite.
They have a common goal, they are all over the world, they have prestige, power, wealth, and in-laws, and when their interests are violated at the same time, they quickly and naturally merge into a group.
Daqin is targeting an entire group this time, and it is impossible to divide them again.
What's more critical is that the current time is at a delicate juncture in history, the six countries have just collapsed, but they have not been completely swept into the dust of history, the world has entered the great unification for the first time, and everyone in the world has not regarded the great unification as an inevitable fate.
Later generations often say that if you divide for a long time, you must be united, but before the unification of the Qin State, it was divided for thousands of years, and people took it for granted that unity was the exception and division was fate.
The restoration of the Six Kingdoms was accompanied by historical righteousness.
"Qin annihilates the six kingdoms and divides them, and destroys the old nobles of the six kingdoms, and they must also be divided and dissolved."
Zhao Si put pen to paper.
"Six royal families!"
"Great nobles!"
"Little nobleman!"
"The people of Qianshou!"
If Great Qin wanted to successfully launch the Migration Order, he could not see the Six Kingdoms as a whole.
Zhao Si initially divided them into four groups.
Great Qin's relocation order was only aimed at the big nobles, so theoretically the small nobles and the capital of Guizhou could be fought for.
Close attack, attacking the great nobles.
Distant friends, handing over the heads of Qiantou and small nobles.
"Relax the policy, recuperate with the people, break the intellectual monopoly of the big aristocracy, and give the small nobles a way to rise ......"
Zhao Si rubbed his eyebrows......
The more I write, the more messy my brain becomes...... When he came back to his senses, he only felt that Shang Ying's car was split in front of him.
"Catch the ducks on the shelves, this is ......," Zhao Si sighed.
But the First Emperor's order cannot be refused, and Zhao Si doesn't know what the consequences of rejecting the First Emperor will be, but in short, the end will not be too good.
"Is it okay to run away now?"
"There's no need to sacrifice your life for Daqin......"
"I'm a modern person, and I'm not a loyal dog of Daqin......"
"Even if the world is really in chaos, with my understanding of history, taking refuge in Liu Bang is always a way out, right? Although there is a saying that the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, I only want to be rich and safe, highlighting a well-behaved and sensible person, Liu Bang has no reason to force me to die. β
Zhao Si's mind was a mess.
The essence of the logic of all his actions is based on the fact that he is a modern man and has the conscience of a modern man.
Defection to Qin is only because he has a good impression of this dynasty that created a precedent for great unification, and at the same time has a certain admiration for the first emperor, the first emperor of the ages.
Everything he does is done without violating his own safety.
Reform? Changing the law is not asking for death?
It is true that many sages paid attention to the inherent death of people, which is either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.
A person like Shang Ying, he may not know where his fate will go, and Chao Cuo is even more straightforward, Chao Cuo committed suicide by taking poison after his father's persuasion before cutting the domain.
Chao Cuo was holding the idea of a broken family and a martyrdom to cut the domain.
But Zhao Si is not a businessman, not a mistake, he can't die calmly.
Zhao Si admires those who are heavier than Mount Tai's death, which is the charm of Zhuxia's history, but Zhao Si doesn't want to die heavier than Mount Tai.
Zhao Si didn't want to die......
Zhao Si is an out-and-out modern person, and his good impression of Daqin and the First Emperor is based on the fact that he is now a squire, a right chief, a worry-free life, and a family with surplus wealth.
If he becomes the head of Qian, who is about to be forced to death by forced labor, regardless of whether it is Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Si will definitely be the first to rise up.
It doesn't matter what the king is important, or the people are important.
has nothing to do with Zhao Si, he only feels that his life is the heaviest.
In all fairness, if the ending is inescapable, he will use his own life to complete the reform and continuation of Daqin.
Then Zhao Si felt that he might as well run away and wait for the world to rise up, at least under the premise of risking his life, he would harvest his own fruit and food.
I have only heard that modern people are dedicated to their duties, but I have never heard of people who have died for the sake of the company and then their families have been ruined.
"What am I selling my life, I ......"
The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more chaotic he became......
No matter what you say, Zhao Si can't be martyred for the feudal era.
Zhao Si is not an emperor, nor is he a prince or grandson, nor is he the master of the country.
He has no reason to do such a thankless thing, what is the picture? Will the picture be famous through the ages?
Zhao Si felt that what he had done so far was enough to leave a name for eternity.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and the first world maps and nautical charts were drawn. In the future, history lessons will never avoid the name Zhao Si.
"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense!" Zhao Si shook his head and glanced at the First Emperor.
I saw that the First Emperor had a solemn face, and it seemed that he didn't have the idea of joking with himself.
