Chapter 220: Like a stick in the throat
Tuotuo was stunned: "Li Si was a minor official in his early years. Later, he learned the skills of emperors from Xunzi and entered Qin. At first, he was appointed as a lord by Lu Buwei. Later, he persuaded King Qin to destroy the princes and become emperors, and was appointed as chief ministers. The King of Qin adopted his strategy and sent his counselors to lobby the six kings and ministers of Guandong with gold and jade, and alienated the monarchs and ministers of various countries, and then appointed him as guest ministers. In the tenth year of King Qin Zheng (237 BC), he ordered the expulsion of guest officials of the six countries. Li Si submitted a letter of "Reply to Exile Guests" to stop it, and was adopted by the King of Qin, and soon became the court magistrate. He played a major role in the cause of King Qin's destruction of the six countries. After Qin unified the world, he agreed to respect King Qin as the emperor and formulated relevant etiquette systems.
He suggested demolishing the walls of counties and counties, destroying the weapons of the people; opposing the feudal system and adhering to the county system; he also advocated burning the "Poems" and "Books" and other hundreds of languages collected by the people, prohibiting private learning to strengthen the centralized rule. He also participated in the formulation of laws and unified the system of chariots, words, and weights. He was actually a great figure, and Yesen Timur was also a talented person, but it was far from the famous prime minister Li Si of the ages!" Tuotuo understood this point, and he was slightly stunned and blurted out: "Li Si was the prime minister of the ages, assisting the Qin Emperor to unify the six kingdoms, Books and Texts, and Che Tongxu. Such achievements are not comparable to Yesen Timur?"
Ru Zhongbai nodded and continued to ask in a deep voice: "What the Prime Minister said is so true, Yesen Timur is definitely not a talented person of the famous prime minister Li Si for all ages!" After a pause, he said: "I wonder how Prime Minister thinks that Lord Hama is compared to the treacherous minister Zhao Gao of Qin?" He asked this sentence bluntly, even though Tuotuo was still surprised, he was an extraordinary person after all. In addition to being surprised, he suddenly remembered what Zhao Gao did.
Zhao Gao -----Originally a distant relative of the Qin royal family, he entered the Qin palace as a eunuch (some say that Zhao Gao was a "eunuch" was a misinterpretation by later generations), served as the rank of the zhongchefu, and also performed the rituals and seals, "in charge of the affairs for more than 20 years." After Qin Shihuang's death, Zhao Gao launched a coup in Shaqiu. He conspired with Prime Minister Li Si to forge an edict, forcing Qin Shihuang's eldest son Fusu to commit suicide, and made the first son of Qin Emperor Hu Hai the emperor, who was the second emperor of Qin, and served as the ruling of the doctor. During his tenure, he monopolized the power, formed cliques and private affairs, and the conscription became more harsh and violent. BC
In 208, he designed to kill Li Si and then became the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. In the third year, he forced Qin II to commit suicide and made Ziying the emperor. This person was the culprit for the fall of Qin. In recent years, Hama and the monks from Western countries used their luck to flatter Emperor Shun, calling him "Yan Yan'er's Method" (the meaning of "Great Joy"). His sister-in-law Tulu Ti Muer also introduced secret methods, so Emperor Shun practiced his methods on a wide range of methods, and took over women, and the monarch and ministers were rude and ugly. His actions were actually more than Zhao Gao of Qin, and even more sinister and vicious.
Yesen is not an opponent?”
Seeing Tuotuo frowning and thinking deeply, Ru Zhongbai continued: "Li Si is a name that has never been the opponent of Zhao Gao. Hama's actions are even better than Zhao Gao, the traitor of Qin, Zhao Gao. When he heard Yesen acted as an agent, Ru Zhongbai made up his mind that even if the heads fell to the ground today, he had to say it: "Prime Minister, do you think that with the intelligence of Lord Yesen, can you suppress Hama?"
Tuotuo heard it for a while before he understood what Ru Zhongbai meant. He laughed and said, "The Censor is worried about this. Judging from the original nature, the Censor can rest assured. Although Hama's insidiousness is worse than that of Zhao Gao of Qin, he is very good at his original nature in his early years. It is not surprising that he will not seek trouble at this critical moment. Judging from the original nature, the Censor has been worried too much, right?"
Hama and Tuotuo had some grudges. As Tuotuo's confidant minister, Ru Zhongbai was familiar with this grudge. In the early years, Hama also supported Tuotuo. Tuotuo was seriously injured by court officials and suffered from exile. Hama tried his best to defend it at Tuohuantemuer. In the ninth year of Zhizheng, Taiping and Han Jiana supported the impeachment of the crimes of the Imperial Censor Olehaishou, and Tuohuantemuer had to seize the official position of Hama and Xuexue. Taiping, Han Jiana, Olehaishou and others were all demoted. Tuotuo was highly valued, and Hama also made some contributions.
However, after Tutuo returned to the court, although he was deeply grateful to the Hama brothers and promoted Hama to the right chief of the Secretariat. However, Tutuo relied more on Ru Zhongbai, the left minister, which caused Hama to be unhappy. For other reasons, Tutuo changed Hama to the Xuanzhengyuan envoy and ranked third. So Hama had a grudge against Tutuo. In order to climb up, Hama began to curry favor with Empress Qi and Prince Ayushiridala, and asked Tutuo to discuss the ceremony of the Crown Prince Cebao, and Tutuo refused. Hama was good at charming the emperor and secretly introduced the Western monk Tuhuantemuer's luck technique, Hama's sister-in-law and Jixian Grand Secretary Tulu Timur also recommended Xitian.
Sengga Phosphine came to teach the "Sheng'er" method (Chinese "Great Joy"), so that it can be cultivated into the art of room and induce the lewd joy of Tohn Temur. Tulu Timur and the old Sa and ten others formed "Yina", and introduced the wife of the noble family and the women of the neighbors to the palace to offer Tohn Temur and the Yina fun. The king and his ministers ignored their shame, and men and women were naked to have fun. They were ugly and dirty, and they were heard outside. Tuotuo hated Hama and his gang more. He took this opportunity to completely become a celebrity around Emperor Hui of Yuan, and now he became enemies with Tuotuo, and he had a vague momentum.
This situation is similar to that of Zhao Gao and Li Si of Qin. Although Ru Zhongbai is not very brave, he is really talented in his heart. He can see this situation clearly. He said what he was thinking about today without regard for Tuotuo's scolding. However, he did not expect that his confidant words would be exchanged for Tuotuo's words.
It's no wonder that although Tuotuo hated Hama, his righteousness and stubbornness remained in the mind of this old minister. He always stubbornly thought that although Hama had some choice but to be at the top of the throne, he could still hold me back at this time. After all, compared to the thief, it was still the reality that his own people wanted to come!"
