In "The Price of Dune's Traitorous Traitor (II)", Long Jiuxiao said,"
In order to maintain the continuity of the story and not interrupt everyone's thoughts, Long Jiuxiao would talk about the detailed contest between Zhao Gao and Li Si and the wonderful game later!
The next day, Long Jiuxiao's words were fulfilled. He was still a true gentleman.
If Zhao Gao wanted to successfully carry out the Sand Dune Rebellion, he needed to deal with Huhai and Li Si.
First, he wanted to settle the youngest son of Qin, Huhai. Then, the key was to convince Li Si.
Before the change of the sand dune, Zhao Gao had planned it thoroughly and appropriately.
Huhai was very childish and lacked social experience. Zhao Gao subdued Huhai without much effort.
In order to successfully carry out the plan of the sand dune, Zhao Gao used his own flowery words to take down Li Si and force Li Si to become an accomplice in the plot to usurp the throne.
Li Si was the key to the success of the Sand Dune Rebellion. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would have been for naught. If Li Si did not agree, Huhai's agreement would be useless.
Li Si was not easy to deal with. He wasn't as easily convinced as Huhai. It was not wrong to describe him as cunning and stubborn.
Li Si had been in the officialdom for a long time and was loyal to Qin Shihuang. He was afraid that loyal officials would not serve two masters and hold great power.
However, Li Si was also a mortal and had his own fatal weakness. He was very concerned about the desire for power and the realm of the prime minister.
With the desire for power, there would be weaknesses, which would be the breakthrough point for seduction and instigation.
During the Sand Dune Change, Zhao and Li had a few more battles. It was very exciting!
The first round was a direct conversation.
The simplest method was often the most effective.
It was the same for investing in the stock market. Long Jiuxiao often said," Complicated things were meant for research, and the operation of judgment had to be simple and effective!
A simple method, when used to the extreme, was a unique skill!
Friends who invested in the stock market especially had to remember this. The key! The key! The key!
Zhao Gao did not beat around the bush with Li Si. Instead, he went straight to the point and said to Li Si," The Emperor unfortunately passed away, but he left behind an edict for his eldest son, Fusu, to preside over the funeral. After the funeral is over, he will ascend the throne and declare himself emperor. However, this edict has been kept by me and has not been sent out yet. Moreover, the Emperor suddenly passed away and the news was completely sealed. No one else knew about it. Only an imperial edict was left to be given to Fu Su, and the Emperor's jade seal is still in my hands. As long as you and I agree, we can make Huhai the new emperor. What do you think?
Zhao Gao went straight to the point. The moment he opened his mouth, he started talking to Li Si about tearing up this edict and making Huhai emperor.
Li Si was shocked when he heard that. His first reaction was that he was crazy!!! How dare he do such a treasonous thing?
At that time, Li Si had been resolute and said,""How can you say such things about the country's subjugation? This is not what a minister should discuss!"
Li Si's performance at that time was unmoved and seemed righteous. Zhao Gao naturally lost.
Second round, hit the soft spot
Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages was everyone's hot spot, but it was also a person's weakness. Li Si also had a weakness. This was Li Si's weakness, his most fatal weakness.
Li Si's original intention when he went to Qin was: A person's future was determined by his environment, just like a mouse. It was the mouse philosophy that he was fighting for.
In the first round, although Zhao Gao had encountered a moderate setback, he did not give up. This was within his expectations.
It would be abnormal if he could take Li Si down with just a few words. Zhao Gao knew that Li Si had his own weaknesses like everyone else, and he knew how to avoid disadvantages.
Therefore, in the second round, Zhao Gao asked five questions in one go:
Between you and Meng Tian, who is more capable? Whose contribution was higher? Who is more far-sighted and never makes mistakes? Who do the people support more? Who had a better relationship with the eldest son, Fu Su?
Li Si was actually inferior to Meng Tian in only three aspects. Firstly, his family background and achievements were not as good as Meng Tian's. Secondly, he was not as popular as Meng Tian. Thirdly, he was not as close to Fu Su as Meng Tian. The relationship between the eldest son, Fu Su, and Meng Tian had always been Li Si's biggest worry.
However, apart from feeling inferior, Li Si felt that his strategy and ability were inferior to Meng Tian's. This was called belittling oneself.
That was why people couldn't feel inferior. Once they felt inferior, they would lose confidence in their own abilities. They wouldn't believe that they were stronger than others, and they wouldn't believe that they could complete it. He felt ashamed of his own inferiority and belittled himself.
Zhao Gao's " five inconveniences " easily hit Li Si's weak spot!
" Yes," Li Si replied honestly," I'm not as good as General Meng Tian in these five aspects, but why are you so demanding of me and looking for me?"”
In the second round, although Zhao Gao attacked Li Si's weak spot, he did not succeed and did not achieve his goal.
The third round, I'll show you my power
Even though he was insulted, Zhao Gao didn't give up.
At the beginning of the third round, Zhao Gao directly pointed out three points:
Firstly, the prime minister and meritorious officials who were dismissed from office in Qin would not have a good ending.
Secondly, once Fusu ascended the throne, he would definitely put his old subordinate Meng Tian in an important position.
Third, Huhai was kind, honest, and suitable to be the emperor.
Zhao Gao further pressured him." The eldest son, Fusu, is resolute and brave. He trusts people and is good at motivating scholars. After he takes the throne, he must use Meng Tian as the prime minister. Old officials like you and me can only stand aside and get lost. Obviously, you will not be able to retire and return home with the seal of the Marquis. Can you still have a good end? Huhai was kind and honest, and was the best candidate for the heir. He hoped that the Prime Minister would carefully measure him.”
Li Si replied,"Go do what you have to do!" I, Li Si, only know how to obey the orders of the Lord and the heavens. I, Li Si, only carry out the Emperor's posthumous edict. My fate is arranged by the heavens. Why should I consider these things?
Zhao Gao's third round was the most powerful. This was because the three points he had mentioned were all related to Li Si's interests. The prime minister of Qin who had been deposed never had a good ending. Fusu would put Meng Tian in an important position, and Huhai was the most suitable to be the emperor. The intention to tamper with the posthumous edict was very clear!
If Li Si continued to persist like this, Zhao Gao and Huhai would not be able to do anything about it. Their plot to rebel would not succeed.
As the Prime Minister, it was Li Si's duty to carry out the Emperor Qin's posthumous edict. He had power. If he didn't agree or cooperate, Huhai wouldn't be able to become emperor.
Obviously, Zhao Gao didn't gain the upper hand in the third round and lost again. However, it laid the foundation for the final victory!
The fourth round, safety switch
Zhao Gao was determined to take Li Si down.
Because his intention and intention to tamper with the posthumous edict had been exposed. There was no turning back. He had no way out. If Li Si were to use this matter to punish him, he would be in deep trouble. Even though Li Si had no intention of holding him accountable, Zhao Gao still could not back down.
Following that, Zhao Gao switched between " safe " and " dangerous " as a topic to continue fighting, attacking Li Si, and continuing to persuade him.
Zhao Gao said that the two could be exchanged. If he didn't make a decision early in the face of danger, he wouldn't be considered a smart person. If a person couldn't even distinguish between " safety " and " danger," they wouldn't be considered intelligent at all.
Li Si was still unwilling,[The emperor has just entrusted the important task of the country's safety to me. How can I let him down?] A loyal minister should not be harsh because he is afraid of death. As courtiers, they only kept their duties. Please don't say anything else. Don't make me, Li Si, commit a crime too.
Zhao Gao talked about safety, Li Si talked about the emperor's grace.
Zhao Gao suffered another crushing defeat in the fourth round!
Fifth round, life and death are at stake
Zhao Gao pressed on and continued to pester Li Si. He wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal!
Because Li Si was Zhao Gao's position to seize power, and also the only obstacle to take down.
If they could not convince Li Si and reach a consensus, all their previous efforts would be in vain. If the opportunity was lost, it would be the end of the road. Zhao Gao had no choice but to take it.
However, if even safety and benefits couldn't move Li Si, what other tricks did Zhao Gao have to deal with Li Si?
That was coercion and bribery.
With what? Zhao Gao played his trump card, Huhai!
It was to use the general trend to suppress others! This was a very powerful card.
If Li Si still refused to surrender after using Huhai's trump card, Zhao Gao and Huhai would work together to deal with Li Si and kill him.
In the stock market, it was very important to follow the trend! Going against the trend would only result in losses and failure!
When the trend changed, he had to follow it in time and counter it.
When investing in the stock market, timing was very important. One had to first learn-
When the main force makes a move, we will counter it. When the main force changes moves, we will also change accordingly.
Changing moves at the right time and not being negligent was the real reason why many people lost money.
This way, Li Si was forced into a corner. He had no way out, no room to turn back.
Li Si's words were stubborn. If he didn't follow the normal principles and procedures of succession, it would definitely bring about a great disaster.
Li Si was well-read in history and understood historical facts. He gave three examples: I heard that because of the change of crown prince in the Jin Dynasty, several generations have not been at peace. The brothers of Duke Huan of Qi fought for the throne, but the elder brother was killed. King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty was ruthless enough to kill his relatives, but he did not listen to the advice of his officials. As a result, his capital was turned into ruins, and his country was destroyed.
These three things were against the will of heaven, so there was no one to worship in the ancestral temple. I, Li Si, am still human. How can I participate in these conspiracies!
Here, Long Jiuxiao would tell the history lovers three stories:
1. Li Ji's beauty is gorgeous. Because Duke Xian of Jin favored Li Ji, he planned to abolish Prince Shen Sheng and establish Xi Qi, the son of Li Ji. Li Ji used a plan to sow discord and sow discord between them. As a result, Prince Shen Sheng was killed, which was called Li Ji's Rebellion. The Jin Country would fall into three to five generations of internal strife.
2. The two brothers of Duke Huan of Qi fought for the throne and killed each other. After the death of Duke Xiang of Qi, his two half-brothers fought for the throne. One was Gongzi Jiu, the younger brother of Duke Xiang of Qi, and the other was Gongzi Xiaobai, the second younger brother of Duke Xiang of Qi. Young Master Xiao Bai was Young Master Jiu's younger brother. Gongzi Jiu had first sent people to kill Gongzi Xiao Bai, but unfortunately, they did not succeed. Young Master Xiao Bai rushed back to Qi State and took the throne first. This was the Duke Huan of Qi in history. After Duke Huan of Qi ascended the throne, he sent troops to defeat the State of Lu and killed his brother, Gongzi Jiu, in the State of Lu.
3. King Zhou of Shang killed Bigan and Jizi because he did not listen to advice. Bi Gan was the uncle of King Zhou of Shang. He had repeatedly advised King Zhou of Shang that his atrocity had led to his death, and King Zhou had dug out his heart and killed him. Jizi was the uncle of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. Seeing that King Zhou was immoral, he tried his best to dissuade him. In the end, he was imprisoned by King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty and demoted to a slave.
Li Si still insisted, unwilling to submit. However, he was powerless to defend himself. He no longer had any confidence in his words!
In the sixth round, he lost completely.
Since Li Si didn't obey, Zhao Gao had no choice but to leave. The final game between the two began.
Zhao Gao and Li Si once again engaged in a life-and-death battle, the final battle.
Seeing that Li Si's heart had softened, Zhao Gao said with flowery words,""As long as we work together, Li Xinhuang's matter can last for a long time. If the internal and external forces cooperated well and had a unified statement, there would not be any mistakes. If you listen to my plan, the president will keep you as a marquis and secure your position as prime minister for eternity. If you give up on this opportunity and don't listen to me, disaster will not only befall you, but also your descendants. A person who is good at dealing with people and acting according to circumstances can turn disaster into blessing. What do you want to do?”
Under Zhao Gao's coercion, persuasion, and flowery words, Li Si surrendered and admitted defeat.
Li Si shed tears and sighed.""Aiya! Why did I have to encounter this chaotic world? Since I can't die loyal, where will I entrust my fate to? We can only protect ourselves!"
Thus, Li Si obeyed Zhao Gao.
Everyone, think about it. Since Zhao Gao dared to talk to Li Si about the conspiracy, he must have made preparations in advance and brought enough bargaining chips.
The bargaining chip is that if Huhai succeeds the throne, you can continue to be the prime minister. This condition was too tempting for Li Si.
Li Si knew what had happened. Once Fu Su succeeded to the throne, Meng Tian would become the Prime Minister and Li Si would be eliminated. This was the consensus between Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Therefore, when Zhao Gao brought such a generous bargaining chip to negotiate, Li Si was tempted.
Thus, under Zhao Gao's persuasion, Li Si naturally accepted Zhao Gao's suggestion to rebel.
Li Si had already compromised, and his heart was in a mess. The ugliest weakness in his heart had been struck by Zhao Gao.
After a fierce and complicated mental struggle, he finally compromised and surrendered to Zhao Gao. He was willing to rebel and conspire with him!
After six rounds of competition, Zhao Gao finally succeeded. He was overjoyed and quickly went to Huhai to ask for a reward.
The success or failure of the rebellion was completely dependent on Li Si. If he managed to rope in and persuade Li Si, the rebellion would be successful.
He immediately reported to Huhai excitedly," I've been ordered by the Crown Prince to inform Prime Minister Li Si. How could he dare to disobey?
In the Land of the Sleeping Dragon, Long Jiuxiao had said,"
Just like that, after the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao used all his skills to persuade Li Si with threats and promises. He forced them to submit and participated in the planning and creation of the sand dune rebellion.
Let's take a look at Li Si's psychological changes. At first, Li Si was fierce and righteous, but then he lacked confidence. Later on, he looked fierce but was weak inside. His heart softened, and he wanted to refuse but was willing to accept it. In the end, he willingly bowed his head and surrendered completely, colluding with Zhao Gao.
When Zhao Gao instigated him, he used Meng Tian as an excuse. 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. Long Jiuxiao didn't need to go into details, as he had already mentioned it in the previous book. Friends who are interested, go and take a look!
The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si, as the designer of the Great Qin Empire and the unified empire system, had always been regarded as a smart person. However, when it came to the incident at the sand dune, he was confused for a moment. Helping a tyrant to do evil, asking a tiger for its skin. If you do more injustice, you'll die! The success of Qin was due to Li Si, and the failure was due to Li Si!
In history, there were very few poems about the change of sand dunes, so Long Jiuxiao did this to make up for it!
The Zhao family deliberately concealed the imperial edict,
he advocates the abolition and establishment of officials, and his words are greedy.
I only say that I've settled things and bid farewell to Hu Hai,
He went straight to business.
The best policy is to break the rules when you see them,
He returned to Xianyang.
Because the desire for power is high and deluded,
He plotted to usurp the throne and destroy the northern border.
When the position reached the Marquis of Tong, I was willing to go against him,
his lifetime's achievements are like clouds flying in the sky.
I've already made plans, step by step,
I'm so unprepared that I'm going crazy.
Seeking advantage and avoiding harm, I point to the weak spot,
to sacrifice one's life for justice, to cut off one's loyal heart.
He instigated Huhai to kill,
Great Qin's blood rain was filled with fear.
Qin Shihuang's career was terminated,
the scenery of sand dunes is once vast and vast.
When you state the advantages and disadvantages, you surpass your opponent's moves,
they covet power and desire to surrender.
Snakes and mice live in one nest, for wealth and fortune,
the six moves of short weapons are shown in the true chapter.
Qin is in turmoil, dark clouds rise,
Zhao Gao and Li Si's crimes were difficult to bear.
I look at the horizon, but there is no sound of the swan,
A false edict helped Su perish.
After a few small moves, he succeeded,
One wrong thought and he would lose everything.
It's too embarrassing to betray the country for glory,
Forgetting justice for the sake of profit is really a good-for-nothing.
A sad song, I met with a cut in the waist,
In the voice of the uprising, I sigh at Qin Shang.
