"Wen Ru, you shouldn't have done it here, even if you didn't kill anyone, do it in the Political Yuan..." Guo Jia looked at Li You with a complicated expression. Guo Jia clearly heard something else from Li You's previous words. Meaning, he wasn't ready to die.
"Isn't this Zhao Boran's successful betrayal and taking me, a person who suppresses the bureaucracy, to the imperial prison?" Li You looked at being nailed through by his own sword, but he did not die, just because he continued to bleed, plus Zhao Yan, whose heart and lungs were injured and whose breath was constantly declining, looked indifferent.
Guo Jia's face was expressionless. Although the reasons given by Li You were very reasonable, Guo Jia really didn't think it was necessary for Li You to do this in the Political Yuan. This was a big taboo.
Before, Guo Jia waited for Li You and others to leave, and he stayed here. He also brought the chief of guard Ruan Liangyu who had been with him for nearly ten years in order to capture Zhao Yan directly when he resisted the law.
Guo Jia has experienced a lot, and even though he still has some collegiality with Zhao Yan, he hopes that he can pass a step so that the other party can walk down the steps, but reason tells Guo Jia that this kind of thing is completely inappropriate. Possibly, so Guo Jia brought guards with him from the beginning, preparing to capture Zhao Yan.
I just didn't expect that before Guo Jia could order Ruan Liangyu to capture Zhao Yan, Li You took action directly in the Political Yuan. Even if he didn't kill Zhao Yan directly, using weapons to hurt people was already very serious in a place like this. It was a big political issue, which made Guo Jia deep in thought.
"That's not a reason." Guo Jia sighed.
"That's even simpler. I figured out who the protective umbrella was, and after hearing your words, I confirmed the result and took action in anger." Li You stood behind Zhao Yan, almost without any emotion on his face. That’s it.
The sword nailed Zhao Yan and the chair together, and blood continued to flow out. Soon the corners of the backrest began to drip drops of blood toward the ground.
"You are not such a reckless person!" Guo Jia stood up directly, patted the table and said, "To take action here is already a political issue, and none of us can take action here!"
"So, I said, it was Zhao Boran, the protective umbrella, who self-destructed and took away Li You, who was the most capable of suppressing the current interconnected bureaucracy." Li You said calmly, "So he was the one who took action first, with verbal and verbal attacks and rational attacks. It counts as an attack. I lost the battle, so I took action. He blew himself up successfully. I was taken to prison and he was admitted to the hospital. It was as simple as that."
Guo Jia was silent for a while after hearing this, and then slowly sat on his chair, "Liangyu, go out first, close the door, and don't let anyone else in."
Ruan Liangyu actually fell into panic when Li You threw a sword and nailed Zhao Yan to the chair from behind. When Li You and Guo Jia faced each other, Ruan Liangyu had a death wish. The two bosses would not Silence him, don't think he is Guo Jia's chief of guard, he has more money and less trouble, and it's easy, but after this incident, Ruan Liangyu is really afraid that he will lose it.
Therefore, when Guo Jia greeted him to leave, Ruan Liangyu ran away quickly, leaving space for Guo Jia and Li You. As for Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan was already a dead fish at this time. He lost too much blood and was hit by Li You. The forbidden secret technique, at this time, looked like it was about to bleed to death.
However, the problem is that Guo Jia and Li You didn't care about being nailed to the chair at this time, and the blood flowed to Zhao Yan, who had turned sallow. For these two people, isn't this still death?
"You shouldn't take action directly." After Ruan Liangyu left, he turned on the secret technique of silence and closed the doors and windows everywhere, Guo Jia looked at Li You with a gloomy expression.
"It's a fait accompli. It's useless to talk about it. I just go to the imperial prison to collect my guilt." Li You said calmly, "For me, this kind of thing is just that I don't have to worry about too many debts, and I don't feel itchy when I have too many lice. He went to jail, but I can’t go to jail?”
"Do you know how much impact it will have on the Political Yuan?" Guo Jia looked furious, "Do you really have no political sensitivity at all?"
How could it not be possible? He just wanted to do it, and the other party was so arrogant that he didn't punish the other party on the spot. Li You couldn't pass this hurdle. Since when did he, Li You, start to compromise on this kind of thing? Didn’t we always kill them directly when we encountered them in the past?
In Xiliang, in Luoyang, in the court, there is nothing that cannot be killed for one's own ideals. When can even such a dirty thing be restrained by so-called rules?
"If he doesn't say that, I will watch you take him down. But if he says that, I have to let him know that the power to formulate the rules is not in his hands yet." Li You looked calm. Said, "So if I try to accompany him, isn't it just trampling on the rules? Since he trampled on the rules and obtained benefits, he must be prepared for others to trample on the rules and trample him to death."
"So, what about you?" Guo Jia said angrily.
"I never expected that I would die well. If I died earlier than Xuande Gong and Zichuan, that would be fine. If I died later than them, my end would not be worse than Wei Yang's." Li You He said calmly, "I have offended too many people. When I suppress them enough, there will be nothing. When I can't suppress them anymore..."
"When you can't suppress it anymore, you will choose to take those people away together." Guo Jia cut off Li You's words and gave another answer.
"You still know me very well." Li You said with a bit of a smile.
"You are not someone who can be easily captured." Guo Jia shook his head and said.
"It's not just that, it's a matter of perspective." Li You was quite calm.
"Do you agree with what Zichuan said about Wei Yang, rather than Wei Yang's behavior recorded in historical records?" Guo Jia looked at Li You and sighed. In this case, he would not be able to convince Li You.
"I think Zichuan's analysis of Wei Yang is more reasonable." Li You said seriously.
In the past, Chen Xi, Liu Ye and others argued that regarding Wei Yang's death, although everyone agreed at the time that Wei Yang was bound to die, they each held different opinions.
Chen Xi believed that Wei Yang's death was close to martyrdom, while Liu Ye and others believed it was pure rebellion.
Chen Xi’s explanation at that time was that Wei Yang would die no matter what, and no matter what the reason, he would definitely die a tragic death on the level of dismemberment by five horses. So compared to being executed like this for innocent or misdemeanor crimes, it cost him more than 20 years. , even the absolute authority of the law established by King Qin Huiwen, who was then a prince and now the king, was destroyed.
It would be better for me to directly commit the crime of quartering one body with five horses, let King Qin Huiwen take over, and then execute him according to the crime. In this way, at least the system I have established and the credibility of the government will not be destroyed - I, Shang Yang, died from the crime of quartering one body with five horses. But what I do is indeed how it should be carried out according to the laws I have prescribed.
It's all death in the same way, death from personal hatred, death from bureaucratic counterattack and the resentment of a normal person who can tell at a glance that he shouldn't be sentenced to such a serious crime. It's better for me to create a crime that fits this death law. At least that's it. After I die, the system I left behind is enough to sustain Qin and kill other countries.
This conclusion is Chen Xi's speculation. There is no clear historical record. We can only refer to the behavior of King Qin Huiwen in the historical annals and the behavior of Shang Yang when his IQ was normal.
After two comparisons, Chen Xi's judgment was in favor of Shang Yang's martyrdom, because if he did not die, he would not be able to solve the bureaucratic counterattack. He might be able to escape by running away, but if he ran out of Qin, the nobles and bureaucrats of Qin would not be able to kill Shang Yang, and they would definitely put their grievances to death. He vented his anger on the Qin law left by Shang Yang.
Qin Fa will definitely collapse by then, and this will not change based on anyone's will.
On the other hand, Shang Yang's intelligence is actually quite formidable. He cannot be said to be among the leaders of his contemporaries, but he is definitely among the top ones. It is impossible for him not to know what will happen to him after Xiaogong's death. If he really wants to be on guard, he can't Maybe you can't even leave.
If Shang Yang didn't even have this ability, then it would be impossible for Shang Yang to lead Qin. Moreover, even if the death of Duke Xiao was an unexpected incident, Shang Yang would exile King Qin Huiwen, who was still a prince at the time. More than 20 years later, what would Shang Yang gain? Only those with brains don't know that King Huiwen is the only eldest son with the right to inherit...
After comprehensive consideration, Chen Xi is inclined to believe that Shang Yang is a martyr, because even if it is inferred from any angle, in Shang Yang's psychology, the Qin Law that he spent decades perfecting and laid the foundation for the rise of Qin is more important than his own life. .
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was important for a scholar to die for his bosom friend, Duke Xiao and Shang Yang. The former could tolerate Shang Yang's exile of his only legitimate son for the rise of Qin, so the only thing Shang Yang could repay to Duke Xiao was the rise of the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, if he had to choose between his own death and the foundation of his rise that he had spent decades building, Chen Xi believed that Shang Yang would choose the latter.
This judgment is difficult to verify in historical records and can only be inferred from behavior. Therefore, Chen Xi did not intend to convince those people. However, Chen Xi's judgment gave these people a deep impact, because what is the meaning of rebellion? This is the first time someone has thought about this kind of thing, and if Chen Xi's conclusion is correct, then Shang Yang's rebellion may not be wrong.
Obviously, Li You now agrees with this judgment.
"You go to prison." Guo Jia sighed and said, "I'll have someone send you there."
In June of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, there was turmoil in the Weiyang Palace. Li You stabbed Zhao Yan with his sword and Zhao Yan was seriously injured. Then Li You was sent to the imperial edict and ordered not to allow anyone to visit the prison.
"Give way, give way, move your position, you go and live in that room, I want this one." Li You directed Yuan Shu and asked Yuan Shu to live next door with Liu Zhang. After all, there are only two top-level suites in the prison. , the rest are not places for people to live, and Li You was imprisoned on the bottom floor of the prison, and there was no time to build a new prison suite in a short time, so...
