In the last book, Long Jiuxiao had said,"

Whether it was a one-on-one fight or a group fight, Li Si was no match for Zhao Gao.

One had to know their own limits. Even if they were to find an opponent, they had to find someone who was evenly matched.

If a mouse and a cat were enemies, they would definitely die. There was no chance of winning when a rat fought a poisonous snake.

According to historical records, Zhao Gao was tall and strong, and his martial arts skills were extraordinary.

Li Si was a weak little secretary. He had no experience in martial arts.

Zhao Gao had always been in charge of the government. He had formed cliques everywhere, and the entire court was filled with his minions. No one dared to have any objections. Those who had objections were all killed. Even the little Emperor was afraid of him. Therefore, it was inevitable that Li Si would not be able to defeat Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao had deep roots, but Li Si was weak.

Li Si couldn't fight Zhao Gao individually or as a team, so he was beaten to death.

In addition, Qin II was a piece of mud that could not be helped up. Loyalty and treachery cannot be distinguished, blocking the way of speech.

After Qin II ascended the throne, he was only fatuous and indulged in sensual pleasures, causing the people to be in dire straits and the world to rebel.

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, Li Si was worried about the subjugation of the Qin Dynasty, but also out of deep thought about the stability of the rice warehouse, and out of his duty as prime minister. He decided to remonstrate with the Second Prince and kill Zhao Gaoqing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao made a countercharge and instigated the second generation. In the end, the rice warehouse was lost and he was cut in half.

Li Si's starting point was wrong from the start. From the very beginning, he had been aiming for glory and wealth.

In order to change his environment and get rice, he had used tough methods, and was even put in an important position by the King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

That was why Li Si's strategies and plans were adopted, put in important positions, and implemented in the era of Ying Zheng!

By the time of Qin II, other than indulging in debauchery and seeking pleasure, he did nothing and left Li Si.

Li Si had wanted to be a prime minister who wielded all the power, but he realized that things did not go as he wished. As time passed, he would definitely feel very disappointed.

Why? When Qin II proclaimed himself emperor, he only knew how to eat, drink, and play. He did not see the ministers. Zhao Gao was in charge of the government affairs.

Li Si had received the favor of the First Emperor, so he should have stuck to his bottom line as a person, stuck to the conduct of a minister, served the country, and maintained the stability of Qin.

However, in the end, other than personal selfishness and desire for power, all he showed was self-preservation. He didn't even have a bottom line.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been instigated by Zhao Gao and colluded with him. Conspiracy in the Dune Rebellion.

If a person with a high position lost his bottom line as an official, he would be finished.

If the upper echelons of a dynasty were filled with such people, how could the Qin country not perish?

If a person lost his bottom line, he would inevitably send himself into the "black hole" of failure and be despised by the world.

Qin II was originally fatuous, indulging in sensuality, unable to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

In addition, Zhao Gao had given Li Si a hard time in front of Huhai.

Therefore, not only was Li Si not put in an important position, but he was also pushed aside and suppressed.

Zhao Gao wanted to call a deer a horse, but no one dared to object. Even the little Emperor was afraid of him.

Without strength, there was no right to speak. As a prime minister, you definitely can't defeat a monarch.

From the looks of it, Li Si's death was not because of Zhao Gao's framing, but because of his own excessive greed.

I want to tell everyone what Deng XP said: "A good system can prevent bad people from running amok, and a bad system can prevent good people from doing good deeds, or even go the opposite way.”

The choice he made back then would determine his fate!

Li Si's choice back then was destined to fail!

Back then, when Zhao Gao instigated him, he used Meng Tian as an example. He said that if he helped Su succeed the throne, Meng Tian would replace Li Si. Thinking about it carefully, this reason did not hold water at all.

Actually, that was not the case. Speaking of Qin Shihuang's achievements, Li Si's achievements were far above Meng Tian's.

In the era when Li Si was giving advice to Qin Shi Huang, Wang Jian, the famous general of Qin, was the first in terms of military merit.

Even if Qin Shihuang had the intention to nurture new people, Meng Tian's status was still below Li Xin.

Li Xin had made great contributions in the battle to destroy Yan Country. And captured Yan Wang Xi, causing the destruction of Yan.

When Qin Shihuang unified the world, all the meritorious officials were waiting to be rewarded according to their achievements. They were all waiting to be enfeoffed. It was Li Si who stepped forward and did not hesitate to offend him.

The ministers petitioned the court to abolish the enfeoffment and implement it in prefectures and counties. He had made an eternal contribution to the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

It could be said that without Li Si, there would be no unification of the King of Qin. Li Si grew up with Qin Shihuang and participated in the cause of Qin unifying the world.

On the sacred heirloom seal, it was engraved with Li Si's calligraphy of flowers and birds, with the words " ordered by heaven, longevity ".

Even if Fusu became the emperor, Meng Tian would still have to guard the northern border.

Later on, it was proven that after Meng Tian was sentenced to death, the Hetao region was once again occupied by the Xiongnu.

The lost Hetao region would only be taken back and ruled by the Han regime after Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's Northern Expedition during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It was also something that would happen 70 years later!

Li Si was indeed talented, and he was a great talent for stabilizing the country. He had done a lot of construction work for the unification of the Qin Dynasty and had won the trust of Qin Shihuang.

When Qin Shihuang passed away, he was instigated by Zhao Gao's flowery words to directly participate in the Sand Dune Rebellion. He plotted to usurp power and forged the posthumous edict. He forced Qin Shihuang's eldest son Fusu to commit suicide and elected the youngest son of the emperor, Qin II, Hu Hai, to take the throne. He ascended the throne as Emperor Qin II.

That was why Long Jiuxiao said," No desire, no strength!"

'Without desire, one will be strong'. His state of mind was calm and indifferent, without worldly desires. People can live easily and happily!

Once a person's greed was out of control, it would be like the Yellow River breaking its banks. It would surge down and be unstoppable. A person could become abnormal, crazy, and lose their bottom line. Disaster would also come at any time.

If Li Si was honest and had no greed, Zhao Gao would not be able to touch him as the Prime Minister.

If Li Si had not participated in the Sand Dune Rebellion, Zhao Gao and the Second would not have succeeded.

During the chaos, Li Si had the ability to make any young master of the Qin country emperor.

It was a piece of cake to destroy Zhao Gao and his people. However, with the passage of time, Zhao Gao held great power, and even ten Li Sis were no match for him.

That was then and that was now! The situation changed instantly, and victory and defeat were reversed. The two could not be compared at all.

Compared to Zhao Gao, Li Si liked to play alone. He wasn't good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, probably because he was aloof. Even though he had a high position, he did not have a foundation, his own team, his own core team, or his own team. It was just a light board.

Among the two main heirs of Qin Shihuang, he swayed left and right and did not clearly stand on either side.

Li Si's ending was that for his own personal gain, he would murder a loyal person in a moment of thought, turn back from the wrong path, miss the opportunity, and lose his life.

Zhao Gao and Li Si pushed Huhai to the throne together, and Li Si believed that he played a decisive role.

However, Huhai didn't think so. In his opinion, if it weren't for Zhao Gao, he wouldn't have been able to become the emperor.

He had always regarded Zhao Gao, who followed him, as his confidant. Therefore, Zhao Gao was the one to be rewarded, not Li Si.

In addition, Zhao Gao was a smooth talker and was good at sucking up to people. He had his own group and had always followed Huhai. The center of power was definitely biased towards Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao's situation was that he had to cooperate with the Son of Heaven to command the world. If he obeyed him, he would live. If he disobeyed him, he would die.

During his term of office, Zhao Gao monopolized power, formed cliques, suppressed loyal officials, and imposed taxes. The collection of labor was even more arduous, and the administration was even more harsh.

Here, Long Jiuxiao was comparing Zhao Gao and Li Si's personalities and talents!

Li Si still had a sense of justice. He carried out his duties as Prime Minister and could not let anything go wrong. He spoke bluntly and was not tactful enough.

After Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, took office, he started a large-scale construction project. He built Epang Palace and collected endless corvee, causing the people to complain and live in poverty. He pushed the people into the abyss of suffering.

Seeing this, Li Si, who was worried about the country and the people, advised Qin II Huhai to stop building Epang Palace and reduce some corvee.

This would definitely cause Huhai to be extremely dissatisfied. Under Zhao Gao's instigation, Huhai was eventually arrested and imprisoned.

Zhao Gao took the opportunity to interrogate Li Si. Li Si was forced to confess to rebellion and was later executed in the city.

Li Si had learned the art of emperors.

The Imperial Study was a comprehensive special subject that combined the leadership, strategy, operations research, management, control skills, identification skills, employment skills, and vertical and horizontal skills of the ancient emperors of the Celestial Dynasty. This knowledge was all-encompassing and contained hundreds of schools of thought. It had extremely high requirements for the person learning it, and it was also very difficult to completely master it.

This was a complex, unpredictable, practical, and highly operational knowledge. It advocated that one could achieve their goals by hook or by crook.

It was obvious that Li Si had only learned the sixth or seventh level of his cultivation and had yet to master many things.

Li Si was good at strategizing, but he was more immature and immature when it came to internal politics.

He could only deal with Han Fei, who was slightly weaker than him, but when he encountered Zhao Gao, who was playing with his power, he would be defeated.

Not only was Zhao Gao proficient in law, but he was also good at calligraphy. He was a calligraphy master in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

He was responsible for the management of the emperor's carriage and the safety of the emperor. In other words, the captain of the royal motorcade and the bodyguard of the police.

Zhao Gao was tall and mighty, and his martial arts skills were strong. He was a rare talent who was skilled in both literature and martial arts.

After soaking in the palace for more than twenty years, he had seen and experienced countless political struggles, and he had gained a lot of political experience and schemes. To be able to gain the trust of Qin Shi Huang and Qin II, one had to observe their expressions, adapt to the situation, be quick-witted, and flatter them.

Just based on this alone, Zhao Gao had far surpassed Li Si.

Therefore, it was reasonable for Li Si to lose and die at Zhao Gao's hands. It could be said that he had died a worthy death!

When she woke up, her eyes were still blurry.

When Li Si finally woke up, he realized that Zhao Gao was behind everything. His method was to directly report Zhao Gao to the Second Prince.

There were four problems:

First, Li Si, do you know the IQ of the second generation?

Second, Li Si, do you know the relationship between the second generation and Zhao Gao?

Thirdly, Li Si, if you didn't sue Zhao Gao, what would you do?

Fourth, how much do you know about Zhao Gao's strength so that you can safely get rid of him?

Li Si was like a primary school student who was bullied by his classmates. The first thing he thought of was to complain to the teacher.

" What a pity, Li Si. You're too naive. This isn't a school. This is the center of political power, the whirlpool of politics.

Finally, let's look at Zhao Gao.

The first was courage. They dared to take huge risks and seize the opportunity to change their destiny.

Secondly, the target was clear. He knew how to reach his goal step by step.

Thirdly, there was a plan and steps. First detained the edict, and then settled Hu Hai, sweet words instigated Li Si, conspiracy false, support Hu Hai; Forged imperial edict, sent to Shangjun, and given death to Fusu. Meng Tian's suicide plan was meticulous, every step was seamless.

The fourth was his vicious methods. He was full of tricks.

He even dared to force the emperor to kill him.

In terms of courage, goals, plans, and methods, Zhao Gao was way ahead of Li Si.

If Li Si could win, it would truly be unfair.

The result of asking a tiger for its skin was naturally digging his own grave and seeking death!

Qin II was fatuous, Zhao Gao turned around and attacked

After Qin II ascended the throne, he became fatuous and indulged in sensual pleasures, causing the people to be in dire straits.

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, Li Si decided to remonstrate with the second emperor and kill Zhao Gaoqing out of worry about the subjugation of the Qin Dynasty and the stability of the rice granary.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao made a countercharge and instigated the second generation. In the end, the rice warehouse was lost and he was cut in half.

As early as when Li Si entered Qin to advocate the rule of law and the supreme power of the monarch, karma had already been planted. If Li Si did not die, who would? If Qin does not perish, who will perish?

Li Si's life was equal in merits and demerits. He was the greatest contributor to the creation of the Great Qin Empire and the greatest sinner to destroy it.

It's really: smart for a lifetime, stupid for a while.

Li Si choosing Huhai might not necessarily mean losing. He had lost the political battle with Zhao Gao.

This was the reason why he ended up with his entire family being executed and himself being cut in half in the market. He wanted to be a commoner and could not "lead a yellow dog out of the east gate to chase a cunning rabbit".

It meant that he could no longer bring his hound out of the east gate of Shangcai to hunt rabbits!

In the end, he was framed by Zhao Gao for having the intention to rebel and was beaten into confessing in prison.

In July of the second year of the Second World (208 B.C.), after a series of planning, Li Si's crime was finally fabricated by Zhao Gaoluo, and it could no longer be changed.

Li Si, who rushed to the execution ground, was filled with regret, but it was too late.

Before Li Si died, he could already sense Qin Biwang's aura.""Now that half of the world has rebelled, and their hearts have not yet awakened, and with Zhao Gao as their assistant, I will certainly see the bandits arrive at Xianyang and the elk swimming in the court.”

Under the rule of Huhai and Zhao Gao, the fate of the Qin Dynasty had been completely lost.

Li Si had dedicated his entire life to the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty. Although at the last moment, he had selfishly elected Huhai to the throne, resulting in the death of Qin II, his achievements were still indelible and worthy of future generations to learn from. He was also worthy of being a prime minister in history!

The fall of the Qin Dynasty was directly related to the conspiracy of the ambitious Zhao Gao, and the reason why Zhao Gao's conspiracy could succeed was closely related to Li Si's greed for wealth and position.

Zhao Gao had created many court coups in the Qin Dynasty, which intensified the internal turmoil of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Gao repeatedly slandered and killed the innocent, causing the Qin Dynasty to lose a large number of civil officials and generals, accelerating the destruction of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Gao is a person who flatters the monarch with his words and looks, steals the power of the country, and poisons the people!

After Li Si's death, Zhao Gao became the Prime Minister. No matter how big or small the matter was, it was all up to him to decide. He had almost become the Retired Emperor. His wings had grown, and he gradually didn't put Huhai in his eyes.

Later, after the matter was exposed, Zhao Gao sent people to kill Qin II and then killed the emperor to seize the throne, but he also did not have a good ending. He was killed by Ziying, the king of Qin.
