After retiring from the imperial court, His Majesty the First Emperor returned to Zhangtai Palace and looked at the map of the Qin Dynasty hanging on the wall with deep eyes.
One corner of the map is the land of Bashu, where the Qiang people are in rebellion.
Why did you allow Li Xin? Because... I feel guilty!
Yes, His Majesty the First Emperor is ashamed of Li Xin.
"The attack on Chu in the past was not a fault of war, but... a fault of employing people!"
His Majesty the First Emperor spoke in a deep voice, stretched out his hand and gently touched the location of Jingchu Land.
Because of this place, a prime minister of Da Qin was hidden by the historian.
Xiong Qi!
After the fall of Lu Buwei and before Li Si came to power, few people knew that the prime minister of Qin was... Lord Changping, Xiong Qi!
Later, when the Qin Dynasty attacked the Chu State, Li Xin was unparalleled. When the Qin army advanced into the hinterland of the Chu State, Chen Yi rebelled. This talented general in the army in the past was attacked from both sides and had no choice but to fight back against Chen Yi. So far, he was defeated!
Everyone felt that it was Li Xin who led the army at a disadvantage.
But His Majesty the First Emperor felt guilty!
Because Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping... was the cousin of His Majesty the First Emperor and the son of the King of Chu.
"Zhang Han."
Turn around,
The guilt in his eyes dissipated, and the voice of this eternal emperor was still majestic: "The secrets of the Qiang land collected by the Black Dragon Guard and the topographic map of the Baiyue land are sent to Li Xin's residence."
Zhang Han was startled for a moment, then quickly received the order: "Promise!"
The Qiang land is not eye-catching, but...the meaning of sending the topographic map of Baiyue to Li Xin is very obvious!
After pacifying the Qiang, there is no need to return the throne and then attack Baiyue!
After giving these instructions, His Majesty the First Emperor sat upright behind the desk and opened the memorial in front of him.
"Has anyone found out the origin of Xu Fu?"
He asked in plain words, as if he didn't care at all.
"Your Majesty, the origin of Xu Fu is unknown."
"The first record is that this person showed his magical skills in the land of Old Qi, and recruited thirteen immortal disciples. Later, he traveled around the world, performed healing with his wonderful hands, prayed to heaven, and spoke proverbs!"
"When he was in the land of Sanchuan, he caused strange phenomena in the world and asked for the words of heaven. Zhao Huaizhen, the governor of Sanchuan County, sent a quick message to Xianyang."
Zhang Han said in a deep voice.
The Qin Dynasty unified the world for only a few years. The Qin army destroyed the Qi Dynasty. Jixia Academy entered the palace and burned a large number of classics. Among them were the household records of the Qi State, which are extremely difficult to find.
"Hu, the man who destroyed the Qin Dynasty...maybe he really has some abilities."
His Majesty the First Emperor bent the two fingers of his right hand and tapped the tabletop slightly, his eyes looking deep in thought.
"Let Liu Bai make some inquiries."
"promise!"
Looking at Zhang Han, His Majesty the First Emperor recalled that he had asked him to test the martial arts of his sons a few days ago.
A look of helplessness appeared on his majestic and steady face, like a mountain.
Among the eighteen sons, Prince Gao was overjoyed and shouted, "There is such a good thing." Then he fought with Zhang Han for more than a hundred times.
The sixth son, Ying Che, looked gloomy and sighed, "There are still such stupid things", and then begged for mercy after being defeated in one move!
Wanting Cheer to gain military merit was a huge headache for this emperor of all ages.
"Tomorrow, Young Master will patrol the border and send two hundred Black Dragon Guards to protect us secretly."
"promise!"
Zhang Han looked shocked, but had to respond!
Two hundred Black Dragon Guards...Your Majesty is...too cautious!
....
In Yiwen Palace, Liu Bai, who had originally wanted to skip class, was 'invited' by Fusu's sincere eyes and Ying Che's face like a city wall.
"You two gentlemen, you will patrol the border tomorrow, but you still want me to give a lecture today?"
Liu Bai was extremely helpless.
He thinks there is nothing to teach, so he is not lazy.
"Teacher, it is precisely because my two brothers are going to patrol the border tomorrow that we have to listen to the teacher's teachings today!"
Ying Che spoke cunningly.
When he said these words, all the gentlemen below nodded.
Looking at these "study-seeking" eyes, Liu Bai suddenly thought of the children in impoverished mountainous areas in future generations.
Damn it, didn’t I just miss five, six, seven, eight or ninety days? As for a longing look?
"Master Hu Hai."
Liu Bai's eyes swept across and landed on Hu Hai.
"ah?"
"Old...teacher!"
Although he mustered up the courage before, now that Liu Bai suddenly called him, he was still a little flustered.
Liu Bai's phobia, apart from Zhao Gao, Feng Quji, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, Hu Hai is estimated to be the most serious.
"Stand outside the palace gate, and I'll turn on the stove for you later."
Liu Bai stretched out his hand and pointed like this, everyone looked at each other in shock!
Good guy, the 18th brother hasn’t done anything, and now he’s being punished by standing still?
As for the small stove....
No one can guarantee that Liu Bai's small stove is a good thing.
"teacher..."
Hu Hai was "on the verge of tears" and was even more coquettish than the little lady.
Although he was afraid, he also wanted to attend the class.
Liu Bai didn't say much, just raised his hand slightly.
"yes!"
Hu Hai ran out of the palace like a frightened rabbit.
Liu Bai laughed dumbly, and then continued to tease his temple with his right hand.
"Young masters, actually I don't have much to teach you. Today I will teach you the eight tricks."
"It's your business to harm people or use it for good. But if you are stupid enough to know about these eight tricks, you will definitely be harmed in the future."
Liu Bai smiled slightly and said.
"Eight tricks?"
Fusu was slightly startled.
He is the most knowledgeable among the brothers, but even he doesn't know what it means.
"The so-called eight tricks are eight tricks!"
"Hypocrisy, isolation, digging holes, blaming others, stealing credit, borrowing money, spreading rumors, and flattering!"
As Liu Bai spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote sixteen words on the board behind him.
Teaching them these tricks is really for their own good.
Regardless, their identities are here.
This is what they will have to face in the future.
"Why did the teacher teach us to do evil tricks?"
Jiang Lu, who was always upright, frowned and said.
He is the Xianyang Order, so he is naturally the most disgusted with these tricks.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bai smiled and said, "This is what I want to teach you."
"A trick is also a plan. Nothing in the world is absolutely good or bad. If you use it for righteousness, it is good, if you use it for evil, it is treachery!"
"Just like General Lu, if a person steals grain and rice, is he considered a bad person?"
Jiang Lu nodded and said: "Of course, according to the criminal law, tattoos must be done according to law!"
Liu Bai continued: "And this person committed the theft just so that his mother could get a meal, so he is a bad person again?"
"There is no greater good in the world than filial piety."
"Qin Lu wants to execute him, but I am willing to admire him!"
"The same is true for tricks!"
"In the past, General Li Mu of Zhao State resisted our Qin army. Our Qin Dynasty bribed Li Mu, and Guo fired Li Mu. Bribery is an attempt to alienate people. Could it be that he is good at the world?"
After saying this, everyone frowned, but they also understood what Liu Bai meant.
It's just that there is no good or bad strategy, it depends on what the plan is.
"but,"
"Do you think this is what my teacher is going to teach you?"
Suddenly, Liu Bai changed the subject and actually picked up the inkstone on the desk and poured ink on the board to cover up all eight conspiracies!
"What I want to teach you is that even if you are doing tricks, you must have a sincere heart for the country and the people!"
"Hypocrisy can be escaped by using truth and goodness. If truth and goodness are not complete, you can escape."
"In isolation, you should be vertical and horizontal. If the vertical and horizontal are not visible, you can escape."
"You should dig a hole without intention. If you have no intention, you can escape."
"You have to be reasonable when throwing the blame. If you don't do wrong, you can get away with it."
"To seize power, you should suppress your desires. If you suppress your desires and are not greedy, you can escape."
"A borrowed knife should be used to make a profit. If you don't give it to yourself, you can escape."
"You need evidence to spread rumors. If the evidence is true, you can get away with it."
"Praise and kill as green leaves. If the green leaves are not beautiful, you can escape."
"These are eight tricks! Use them with caution and always be on guard!"
