Chapter 52 The Last Gift
Are the national projects built by Qin Shihuang wrong?
Wrong!
Abang Palace, Lishan Imperial Tomb.
That’s right!
The Great Wall, Chidao, and various water conservancy projects.
But if you think about it carefully, is it really wrong?
Qin was founded for more than 500 years and moved its capital nine times.
The last time the capital was moved to Xianyang was about 142 years ago. At that time, the Qin State was not strong and the palace construction was not perfect.
As a dynasty that unified all the Xia, it seemed not too much to build a new palace for itself.
As the representative building of the emperor, the imperial mausoleum continued this custom in all dynasties.
The Great Wall, Chidao, and water conservancy projects have benefited generations to come.
Is it really right?
Wrong. The mistake was that Qin Shihuang did not refer to the valuable experience left by his ancestors.
Qin's transformation from weakness to strength occurred more than 140 years ago. It took several generations of monarchs more than a hundred years to lay a solid foundation for Qin to unify the Xia.
Qin Shihuang's mistake was that he wanted to show off his merits too much, and wanted to complete all the national projects that required huge manpower and material resources while he was alive.
Li Si, was Feng Quji wrong?
Yes and no.
When Qin Shihuang was still alive, they suggested slowing down the pace to allow the people to breathe for a few years before embarking on these huge projects.
But no permission was given.
As a result, after Qin Shihuang's death, Li Si was hesitant because he knew that Fusu would definitely fulfill Qin Shihuang's last wish.
Thinking from the national perspective, he did not want the court to continue to mobilize troops and waste money and people.
So he was persuaded by Zhao Gao, but despite all calculations, he was still one step behind and was tricked by Zhao Gao.
Li Si felt guilty for Fusu and the Meng family.
But for the Qin Dynasty and all the people in the world, Li Si dared to pat his chest and say that he had a clear conscience.
However, when the tide of the times comes, no one can stop this trend.
Any force that blocks it will be destroyed like a torrent.
"Aren't you always clamoring for military exploits? Go ahead!" Looking at the open door of the Sheriff's Mansion, Wang Buxian turned around with a deep expression, his back to the door.
"No!" Zhang Buyi's face was filled with excitement for a moment. He didn't know what Wang Buyi had talked about with Li You.
But before, Li You's guards put down their weapons and went out to line up, and Wang Buxu gave them some money and food and ordered them to leave Xingyang City.
From this moment on, Zhang Buyi felt different.
But no matter what the differences are, Li You is still there, and this achievement is great enough.
"Leave the bow! He doesn't deserve to die in the hands of this thing!" Wang Buxu stopped Zhang Buyi and others from attacking with bows and arrows.
It's just a group of people going to fight one person, and then there's a long-range attack, so what else is there to do?
Although Wang Buxu has always recommended that if you can play far, don't play close, and if you can play evil, don't play open. As long as you can complete the task, do whatever it takes to minimize the cost.
But this time, Wang Buxu will not feel sorry for his own soldiers.
Li You's choice made him feel helpless, distressed, and admirable. At least he didn't have such courage.
"Young Master, are you really unable to persuade me to surrender?" Zhang Buyi led dozens of people into the governor's house, and Guan Ying asked with deep regret in his heart.
He still had the same idea: persuading Li You to surrender would be more effective than killing him.
Wang Buxu shook his head gently: "The life of the empire has come to an end. He was born in Qin, grew up in Qin, received favors from Qin, and died in Qin. This is the best outcome for him!"
Historically, Li You died in battle a few months later, at the hands of Cao Shen, Liu Bang's subordinate who had taken refuge under Xiang Liang.
Li You really died in battle, and his body did not fall down until he died. The scene when Meng Yi died in the movie myth was the scene when Li You died in battle. Perhaps it was exaggerated in the film and television dramas, such as the
Group of corpses.
Wang Ming and Chen Zongzheng, who came to check on Li Si and Li You's father and son's rebellion, heard about it and risked their lives to admonish the second emperor of Qin, saying that Li You had no collusion with the invaders and that he sacrificed his life for the country in the battle of Yongqiu and was commendable for his loyalty.
Xiang Yu saw with his own eyes the place where Li You died in battle and his military exploits. He was so moved that he sent someone to send his body back to his hometown of Shangcai.
Logically speaking, the matter should have ended here. Those who collaborated with the enemy would not die so tragically in battle.
Qin II also received the correct report, but in the end, Li Si and his son were still labeled as rebels.
People like Li You exist in every dynasty in history, and their stories are all sad and depressing. The only difference is that some people can be famous throughout the ages, while some can only be infamous for thousands of years.
What you see, what you hear, what you feel, is this true?
The sound of killing in the governor's house became more and more intense, with weapons clashing, heart-rending screams, and low voices crying.
Wang Buxu slowly closed his eyes, not to show off, but because he was afraid that he would cry if he couldn't help it.
"Young master, he asked you to give him the last blow!" Zhang Buyi, who was wearing a coat of paint, walked to Wang Buxu's side slightly tiredly and said in a low mood.
Wang Buxu shook his head: "Go and tell him that I am going to break my promise on this matter. I can't do it. I can't do it!"
"He guessed it. He said you must do it yourself. This is his last gift to you." Zhang Buyi said.
"Sir, he is your enemy now. If you don't attack the enemy, the brothers will be disappointed. Besides, the army also needs this result!" Guan Ying understood Li You's intention instantly and couldn't help but
persuaded.
The general dare not take action, which means that if you have a woman's heart, you can be an official, but if you rebel, your woman's heart will kill a group of people.
And if Wang Buxing really can't take action, it will have a relatively large impact on establishing prestige and ensuring military discipline and rules.
Therefore, there is often a situation in history where two people are obviously very good friends, like brothers, but in the end they have to kill each other.
Wang Buxu nodded and pulled out his iron sword that had never been stained with blood.
At this moment, Li You was already dying, relying on a spear to support his body not to fall.
The left arm was gone, and the right forearm was drooping listlessly. The black armor on his body was stained with blood, and warm blood was slowly leaking out from dozens of open wounds.
Seeing that Wang Buxu had finally arrived, Li You, who could barely keep his eyes open, smiled with difficulty.
The large amount of blood loss made it difficult for him to even smile.
Seeing this scene, Wang Buhun couldn't help but feel sad, and his tears fell uncontrollably.
Li You had nothing to do with him, it was just a conversation for most of today. Even so, Li You gave him a ride in the end.
The relationship between people is actually so strange most of the time.
Those who hang out together every day may not necessarily be able to play together. Those who have the same spirit may be those who have just met.
Wang Buxu bowed deeply towards Li You.
