Why did Li Si help Zhao Gao to help Su?

In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang fell ill and died. Later, Li Si was afraid of causing chaos in the world, so he sent water as usual every day to prevent others from knowing that he was dead. According to convention, Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, must be the heir.

Fusu's ideology was inclined to Confucianism, and he did not agree with Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and Confucianism, and expressed his opinions in person, which angered Qin Shi Huang and sent him to the northwest general Meng Tian. At that time, Hu Hai's teacher, that is, the eunuch Zhao Gao, tilted his head. He very much wanted Hu Hai to call him emperor.

Because only then can he take power. At the time of Qin Shi Huang's death, Fusu was whipping in the northwest.

In this way, as long as Li Si is convinced, Zhao Gao can let Hu Hai ascend to the throne. Qin Shi Huang was accompanied by Li Si, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Prefecture, and his youngest son Hu Hai. Qin Shi Huang died of illness in the sand dunes, Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and Li Si conspired to tamper with Qin Shi Huang's edict ordering the eldest son Fusu to preside over the funeral in Xianyang, and ordered Fusu to commit suicide, so that Hu Hai could inherit the position of emperor.

So, why did Li Si conspire with Zhao Gao? Is there a contradiction between him and Fusu that cannot be adjusted? After the edict was issued, why did no one in the court speak for Fusu?

Only one Meng Yi fled to the north to deliver letters. But this Li Si usually has a close relationship with Zhao Gao, and he is an extremely scheming person, so it shouldn't be easy to convince Li Si. But it doesn't matter.

Who is Zhao Gao? The eloquent talent is a man who can retreat a million soldiers. How good Zhao Gao's eloquence is, next, let's go back to that time and analyze it.

This Zhao Gao persuaded Li Si, which can be said to be a model of "persuasion case" in the world. Zhao Gao's ultimate goal was to persuade Li Si to tamper with the edict, but after seeing Li Si, Zhao Gao no longer went straight to the point, but used a roundabout guidance method, "Give Shangbang and the eldest son's book, and stand with the funeral meeting Xianyang."

Books don't work, now it's collapsed, no one doesn't know. The books and talismans for the eldest son are all in Hu Hai, and the prince is in the mouth of the prince and Gao. "As the prince's Fusu, he grew up in a greenhouse in the deep palace, and the knowledge he mastered came from books, and he was born to be benevolent.

Like Qin Shi Huang, he grew up in the hard life of the Zhao Kingdom, with a tough personality and a capable housekeeper. Since the commercial reform of the Qin State, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju and other people who are good at diplomacy have been in charge of national affairs, but their overall governing ideas are still dominated by Legalism. But when he came to Fusu, he began to worship Confucian Confucius.

This is very similar to that of Liu Ju, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The reason why Zhao Gao and Li Si helped Hu Hai was because Hu Hai was relatively young, simple-minded, and easy to control. The relationship between Li Si and Fusu is not good, and the two of them are in the same boat.

This is because they want to obtain higher rights, and the relationship with Fusu is not particularly good, and the political ideas of the two people are different.

I think the main reason why they helped Hu Hai is that the lake and the sea are very easy to control, and it is very helpful for them to control the government; The relationship between the two of them is not good, and there are often conflicts in government because of some different voices.

Fusu doesn't like Li Si, then Li Si's interests in the future will be threatened by various threats, especially after Fusu becomes emperor, the situation will be more serious, so the only way to kill is to kill!

Look at this dialogue between Zhao Gao and Li Si about the relationship between Fusu, Li Si and Meng Tian; Gao said: "Who does the prince expect to be able to do with Meng Tian? Which merit is higher or better?

Seeking far away is not lost and Mengtian? No complaints about the world, who is with Mengtian? The eldest son, who is old and faithful?

Si said: "These five are not as good as Meng Tian." Li Si was at odds with Fusu because of book burning, and there are examples in the history of the Qin Dynasty where King Qin Hui split Shang Marting.

Fusu also said that I should be punished when I ascended the throne. This is the reason why Zhao Gaoneng said that Li Si was moved. Of course, Li Si has to think about his net worth, life and vested interests.

There's a reason for that.

His purpose is to preserve his position as prime minister, because Fusu is assertive and has a good relationship with Meng Tian, Fusu will naturally reuse Meng Tian as the emperor when he becomes the emperor, and Hu Hai is stupid and has no ability to handle government affairs well, so he needs the support of him, an old prime minister.

Li Si (c. 284 BC - 208 BC), Li Shi, Mingsi, the word Tonggu. At the end of the Warring States Period, he was a native of Shangcai (now Shangcai, Henan) in the Chu State. A famous politician, writer and calligrapher of the Qin Dynasty.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, he conspired with Zhao Gao to forge an edict and force the first emperor's eldest son Fusu to commit suicide and appoint his young son Hu Hai as the second emperor. Later, it was jealous of Zhao Gao, and in the second year of Qin II (208 years ago), he was beheaded in the downtown of Xianyang, and razed the three clans.

Because his daughter is not biological...

Although he is his son-in-law, if Fusu ascends the throne, the people he reuses will not be Li Si and others, which will make Li Si unhappy.

Qin Shi Huang's son, Fusu, was generous and politically far-sighted. When Qin Shi Huang was about to kill "more than 460 criminals", Fusu told him what to do, which angered Qin Shi Huang, and slowly Qin Shi Huang did not take a fancy to Fusu. In the end, he was also killed by Zhao Gao.

After Fusu succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably reuse Meng Tian, and even take him as a minister, so that Li Si's position will be in jeopardy.

Li Si helped Zhao Gao kill Fusu because Li Si did not agree with Fusu's concept of governing the country, and he took advantage of their contradiction.

It's just a son-in-law relationship, and anyone can harm and defend themselves for their own interests.

Zhao Gao's theory is very simple, you are not as good as Meng Tian, and those who are in high positions have no possibility of a good end after being driven out of the commanding heights of power. Lis's theory of life is also simple, and he will seize any opportunity when he knows the difference between a toilet rat and a hamster.
