[Capable people can eat in any position, Li Si has worked in the position of Changshi for four years, and his achievements are also very outstanding.

After several years of polishing, Li Si successfully gained a firm foothold in the court, and Yingzheng was also very satisfied with his ability.

In order to better balance Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, Ying Zheng promoted Li Si to become a guest secretary.

In the past, the prime ministers of the Qin State, such as Cai Ze, Zhang Yi, etc., were all promoted through Keqing, which shows that Yingzheng at this time was very optimistic about Li Si.

Li Si naturally understood Yingzheng's expectations of him, so he worked harder and showed his ability to the fullest. 】

[On the day when Yingzheng held the crown ceremony at the age of twenty-two, Chang Yu rebelled.

Needless to say, Chang Yu failed miserably, and then was captured alive, and after being executed in the palace, he was sentenced to death by a split car!

After Ying Zheng performed the crown ceremony, Lü Buwei also withdrew, the reason was that he was implicated by Chang Yu.

Chang Yu was recommended to the Queen Mother by Lu Buwei, after getting a fake eunuch to fornicate in the past, how could Yingzheng endure such a thing?

Lü Buwei was dismissed and transferred from Xianyang, and was poisoned to death by poisoned wine soon after.

With the fall of Lü Buwei, Ying Zheng and Li Si are finally no longer bound and can let go!

It stands to reason that without Lu Buwei's suppression, Li Si's power status should be raised to a higher level, but the reality gave him a blow to the head.

Just when Li Si was proud, Zheng Guo's conspiracy to send people to Qin State to repair water canals was exposed.

Zheng Guo came to Qin to build a canal for Qin, but in fact he was a spy for Korea.

They wanted to use the matter of building irrigation canals to conspire to consume the national strength of Qin, so some people took the opportunity to start admonishing the king of Qin and asking him to order the expulsion of all guest ministers.

And Lis, too, is on the list of expulsions! 】

[Seeing that he was about to reach the pinnacle of power, Li Si naturally couldn't be arrested.

In order to keep his hard-won official position and status, he gave a very famous piece to King Yingzheng of Qin - the book "Exhorting Guests".

In the book, Li Si emphasized the importance of reusing Keqing by talking about history, using the four monarchs of Mugong, Xiaogong, Huiwang, and Zhaowang as examples.

Then, Li Si talked about the reality and listed the hobbies of the King of Qin, such as the jade of Kunshan, the treasure of easy-going, the pearl of the bright moon, and the sword he weared, the slender horse he rode, etc., all of which came from the princes and countries.

Finally, Li Si also pointed out what kind of harm the expulsion of talents from the six eastern countries would cause to the Qin State,

"Those who are not Qin go, and those who are guests are chased, this is not the art of crossing the sea and controlling the princes", "Today, the guests are driven to fund the enemy country, damage the people to benefit the enemy, and the internal self is empty and the external tree is resentful of the princes, and there is no danger to the country, and it is not possible to get it." "Wait.

Li Si expounded on all aspects of the harm that the expulsion of talents would bring to the Qin state, and Qin Wang Yingzheng was an aspiring and ideal king, and he listened to it and realized the importance of talents to the Qin state.

In the end, King Yingzheng of Qin was moved by Li Si's letter and withdrew the expulsion order.

And Li Si's behavior not only kept his power and status, but also promoted him to an official and became a court lieutenant.

Regardless of whether Li Si's behavior was just out of selfishness or public or private, he did leave talents for the success of the Qin State, and also laid a solid talent foundation for the Qin State to sweep away the Six Kingdoms and unify China in the future. 】

[When the domestic troubles of the Qin State were resolved, Yingzheng began to sharpen his knife to the Six Kingdoms.

That year, it was the seventeenth year of Yingzheng, and the weakest Korea was the first to be cut down by Qin, followed by Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Yan

Finally, in the twenty-sixth year of Yingzheng, Qin destroyed the last country, Qi, and completed the unification that had never been seen before.

Yu Lie of Fen VI, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, this great feat of unifying China really made Yingzheng and Li Si do! 】

"Such an achievement is indeed unparalleled!"

"Only the First Emperor and Li Si are the first to suffer, and the descendants are just imitating and surpassing them."

"The most rare thing about Li Si is that while he is pursuing his own personal interests, he will also do an excellent job in public affairs!"

"So why should it be meritocratic!"

[To lay down the country, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

But with the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty, Ying Zheng was worried that Qin would repeat the mistakes of the past again, so he did not want to divide the princes.

At this time, Li Si put forward a proposal to abolish the division of seals and realize the county system.

The county system naturally won the heart of the winning government, and it also showed his political loyalty and outstanding foresight before public and private, so he trusted him even more.

The county system strengthened the central government's control over the localities, promoted the formation of a unified multi-ethnic centralized state, and strengthened the unified feudal dynasty, which made the feudal system deeply rooted in the country, and maintained the feudal social structure for more than 2,000 years. 】

[But there will definitely be people who will jump out against this kind of thing.]

In the thirty-fourth year of King Qin, Qin Shi Huang set up wine in Xianyang Palace, and Dr. Zhou Qingchen and others praised the first emperor's virtue.

Qin Shi Huang handed over Chun Yu Yue's recital to Li Si to deal with, and Li Si thought that Chun Yu Yue's idea was very absurd.

In addition, Li Si also played Qin Shi Huang, believing that Chun Yuyue was slandering the imperial system and denying the centralized system. It is to praise the past and not the present, to confuse the public with rumors, to tout their own private learning, to slander the achievements of the country, to improve their reputation by criticizing the emperor, to be unconventional, to encourage the lower classes, and to slander the government.

It is recommended that the "poems", "books" and the books of the hundred schools of thought should be destroyed, and only the books on medical treatment, fortune telling, and planting should be kept. Moreover, those who want to learn this knowledge must also learn from the officials.

Qin Shi Huang adopted Li Si's suggestion, destroyed the "Poems", "Books" and the books of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and killed a group of monks. The aim is to put an end to the chaotic thinking, eliminate those unstable factors, and lay a solid foundation for all kinds of "reunification" in the future.

At the same time, this move also condensed the ideas to a certain extent, laying the foundation for the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone".

After that, under the auspices of Li Si, the Qin government began to strictly enforce the law, compile laws and decrees, train the same track and the same text, unify the currency, etc., and the Qin State began to slowly integrate the six countries, condensing the originally divided China into a whole.

Some people even said, "In fact, Qin Shi Huang has a backup of these hundreds of cultural books." It's a pity that after Xiang Yu arrived in Xianyang, he burned a large number of books, resulting in a large number of books really disappearing completely. ”】

"Oh my God! This pot is a bit big! ”

"But you can't deny that Xiang Yu really did the stupid thing of burning Xianyang City!"

"Xiang Yu robbed, slaughtered, and set fire to Xianyang City! The fire burned for three months, and the once magnificent Qin Imperial Palace became a scorched earth, and human life was not as good as grass mustard! ”

"Therefore, Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu to establish the Great Han, which is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people!"

“.”

The fire, Xiang Yu really put it, as for whether it really burned the hundred classics, this cannot be verified.

[At the age of sixty-four, he finally reached the top of his career and his dream came true.

The eldest son, Li Youguan, went to Sanchuan County to guard Xingyang, Luoyang, and Kaifeng, and was the gateway to Xianyang, and his status was not trivial. His sons are all princesses, and his daughters are married to the princes of Qin, and they are deeply trusted, and the Li family has definitely become the top magnate in Qin!

From a cloth cloth to the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Si proved that a poor family can also produce a noble son, and it can be regarded as an inspirational model in history. 】
