Why didn t Li Si help the wise Fusu and choose to help Hu Hai, the son of the gentleman?

Why didn't Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, assist Fusu, but instead mingle with the eunuch Zhao Gao and the gentleman's son Hu Hai?

This question has also been a strange question for many people. In fact, this problem is complicated and complicated, and it is simple to say that it is simple and simple, in the final analysis, it is just two words, selfishness.

Li Si is a person who is very fame and fortune, he believes that people don't care whether they can do it or not, intelligence and intelligence are almost the same, rich and poor, it all depends on whether they can seize opportunities and choose the environment. In his early years, Li Si studied with the Confucian Xunzi, but later, after analyzing the actual situation of various countries, Li Si began to transfer to law, and after his studies, he came to Qin and served as King Yingzheng of Qin. Judging from Li Si's view of life and Li Si's practice of abandoning Confucianism and following the law, Li Si is a very profit-seeking person, and all the choices he makes are interests first.

If you want to talk about Fusu and Hu Hai, the two sons of the Qin Dynasty, if you talk about close relations, it has to be Fusu. After all, Li Si married his daughters to Fusu, and he is also Fusu's father-in-law. Compared with Hu Hai, the natural relationship is much closer.

So why did Li Si not hesitate to side with Hu Hai?

The first is crisis awareness. After finding a good decision to reach a conspiracy with Hu Hai to usurp the throne, Zhao Gao met with Li Si. After the two met, Zhao Gao told Li Si that Emperor Shi was dead, and hinted that Li Si himself had the intention of establishing Huhai.

Li Si knew that Qin Shi Huang's successor was only Fusu, and he instinctively opposed Zhao Gao's approach. But he also knew that if Zhao Gao dared to have a showdown with himself during this critical period, it must be the best and complete preparation. If you don't cooperate, you may be killed.

After all, how can they seize power without dying. Therefore, Li Si did not dare to confront Zhao Gao out of a self-preservation mentality.

The second is Li Si's selfishness. Li Si came from a humble background, and he came step by step to become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, all of which was very difficult. So Lis's character flaw is the greed for power.

Zhao Gao obviously grasped the weakness of La Li Si, and he said to Li Si, in your opinion, judging from the ability between you and Meng Tian and the degree of closeness between you and Fusu Gongzi, which of you is closer to Fusu Gongzi? Li Si's natural way of his own ability and affinity are not as good as Meng Tian. In addition, Meng Tian is a close confidant of Fusu, so Fusu will definitely hand over the prime minister's position to Meng Tian as soon as he takes the throne.

At that time, Li Si was a complete failure. Therefore, out of consideration for his own interests, it is absolutely impossible for Li Si to support Su to ascend to the throne. At this time, it doesn't matter what son-in-law is or not.

What matters is Lees's own position of power.

In addition, as soon as Zhao Gao's representative Hu Hai promised Li Si, Li Si naturally leaned towards Hu Hai. There is also a more important point that Li Si thinks that a eunuch Zhao Gao and a gentleman Hu Hai are not his opponents at all. If Hu Hai ascends to the throne, Li Si will not only be able to consolidate his power.

He can even gain more positions of power. But he never expected how powerful Zhao Gao's eunuch methods were. Li Si chose Hu Hai, and in the end, he also chose a path of no return for himself.

Li Si was born in a Legalist family and advocated Legalist thought, and Qin Shi Huang's burning of books and Confucianism was his suggestion. Fusu believed in Confucianism and was benevolent, and he had a conflict with Qin Shi Huang in this matter, so he was sent to Meng Tian. Li Si framed his classmate and friend Han Fei back then, and he had no good impression of Li Si in Fusu's heart, and Li Si was also afraid that Fusu would be unfavorable to him after he succeeded to the throne, so he chose Hu Hai.

Because he wants to protect himself, but the situation is to kill Fusu and not let him succeed to the throne.

Because in Fusu's eyes, Meng Tian's weight is heavier, if Fusu becomes the emperor, Meng Tian will definitely be named prime minister, and Li Si is hated by Fusu, if you don't speak, you will definitely kill him, he is unwilling, but Hu Hai became the emperor, he will continue to be the prime minister, and be a big official above 10,000 people under one person.

Because Li Si has great ambitions, he thinks that he will be easier to be controlled by himself after supporting Hu Hai to the throne, while Fu Su has his own ideas, so this is the case.

Because he will not be reused to help Su, and if there is Meng Tian by Fusu's side, there will be no place for others.

After the death of Qin II, many people felt incomprehensible about Li Si's approach. Qin unified the six countries, and Li Sisui also made great contributions, which can be regarded as the result of his hard work, but why did he help Zhao Gao and Hu Hai and give up his eldest son Hu Su?

If you want to say that Li Si was coerced by Zhao Gao, I guess no one will believe it, right? How can the prime minister of a country be coerced by a eunuch if he is guessing and is in a high position? I can't say it, choosing Hu Hai is also Li Si's own initiative.

First of all, after Qin unified the six countries, he was invincible in the United States, and Li Si did not need a wise and martial emperor, he could cover the sky with one hand as prime minister.

Qin Shi Huang made great achievements in his life, and the whole world was overwhelmed, and Li Si was also trembling under him. Especially Qin Shi Huang in his later years, he was increasingly powerful and moody. The big boss finally hung up, and Li Si certainly didn't want to find an equally wise Fusu to supply.

And Hu Hai's absurd name is outside, and he is young, so it is easier to fool and control.

Secondly, the credit for supporting Huhai is greater.

At the time of Qin Shi Huang's death, Fusu was with Meng Tian, and it was obvious that the Meng family supported him. If Li Si also supports Fusu, it will be the icing on the cake at most, and the merit of supporting it is not obvious. And Hu Hai is different, this throne should not be his, if he can ascend the throne with the support of Li Si, it will be a charcoal in the snow, and Hu Hai will definitely be more grateful to Li Si.

Moreover, distant water does not quench the thirst of the near.

The death of Qin Shi Huang is not done well, and the world that has just been unified will fall apart, after all, the six countries of Shandong are not peaceful. At this time, Fusu is far away from the border, and if Li Si wants to support Fusu, he will inevitably confront Zhao Gao, and the situation may be out of control, and it is not in Li Si's interests to be in chaos again.

To sum up, Li Si's sudden choice to support Fusu is not an obvious act of reducing intelligence. As a mature politician, every choice is made with careful consideration.

Because this person did not agree with Fusu, he was afraid that Fusu would kill him after he took the throne, so he made the first move to force Hu Hai to succeed him.

Because Li Si and Meng Tian don't deal with each other. Fusu and Meng Tian had a good relationship, and Li Si thought that if Fusu succeeded to the throne, his position would not be guaranteed, so he did not help Fusu.

Because Li Si understood that Fusu was a dying man, he would help Hu Hai, the son of a gentleman, succeed to the throne.

If he went to support Fusu, Li Si would not have a chance to control the government at all, because behind Fusu were the Montessori brothers, all of whom were brave and resourceful generals, and Li Si had too much desire for power, so he did not help the wise Fusu, but instead helped Hu Hai to succeed to the throne.

Because the relationship between Li Si and Fusu was not good, Fusu did not do him much good after he succeeded to the throne.

Li Si knew that Fusu didn't like him, and his position as Xiangguo was not guaranteed after Fusu took the throne, so he went with Zhao Gao to support Hu Hai to succeed to the throne.

Because Li Si thought that he would not reuse himself after he ascended to the throne, and Zhao Gao had promised to help Hu Hai ascend the throne, he would give him a high position, so he helped Hu Hai succeed to the throne.

It's because Fusu is so smart, he knows that Fusu is not easy to fool and not easy to control, so he didn't support Fusu, but supported Hu Hai, who was easy to fool.

Because his life and family were held hostage by the eunuch Zhao Gao at that time, and Zhao Shou Shou chose to get rid of Fusu and establish Hu Hai as the crown prince, Li Si had no way to tremble, so he could only obey Zheng Li.
