Chapter 81 Xiao Han can be used, Zhang Liang must be killed
Li Nian then continued, "Zhang Liang wanted to assassinate the king because of the hatred for the country and the family. He hoped to revive the Kingdom of Korea. Therefore, when all parties rebelled against the Qin Dynasty at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Liang met Pei Gong. Although he and Pei Gong hit it off at first sight, he did not completely assist Pei Gong. He still did not forget his homeland in his heart!"

"However, Zhang Liang had also been making plans for Pei Gong at that time. Pei Gong was able to safely survive the 'Hongmen Banquet' set by Xiang Yu because Zhang Liang saw that Pei Gong was in danger and resolved it with wit."

"It was not until Han Wangcheng was killed by Xiang Yu that Zhang Liang devoted himself to assisting Pei Gong and giving him advice. He used the 'Xiayi Plan' to reverse the situation between Pei Gong and Xiang Yu, and gradually changed the situation of Chu being strong and Han being weak in the Chu-Han contention."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng interrupted and asked: "Does Xiang Yu know Zhang Liang's wisdom? Why did he kill Han Wangcheng?"

Li Nian thought for a moment and replied, "Xiang Yu killed Han Wangcheng after the 'Hongmen Banquet', and Zhang Liang was familiar with Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo. I think Xiang Yu should know Zhang Liang's wisdom."

Ying Zheng said: "If you kill Han Wangcheng, wouldn't that destroy Zhang Liang's loyalty to Han and help Pei Gong?"

Li Nian didn't know what Xiang Yu was thinking. Killing King Han Cheng was totally useless, but he just did it. If you wanted to kill him, you should have planned it in advance and killed Zhang Liang as well.

In the end, Han Wangcheng died and Zhang Liang ran away. Without Han Wangcheng's restraint, Zhang Liang went to Liu Bang. Wouldn't he let his talents run wild? It would be strange if he didn't kill you, Xiang Yu!

As long as King Cheng of Han is alive, even if Zhang Liang and the Duke of Pei flirt with each other, he will not surrender to you, Xiang Yu, but he will not give advice to the Duke of Pei wholeheartedly.

Xiang Yu personally cut the rope that bound Zhang Liang, and also made a deep hatred with Zhang Liang...

Because Qin destroyed Han, Zhang Liang dared to assassinate the First Emperor. When you, Xiang Yu, killed King Cheng of Han, Zhang Liang was indeed no match for you in terms of force and could not take revenge, but he was still not as good as you in terms of wisdom?
Ying Zheng said: "From this we can see that Xiang Yu was not wronged in his fight with Pei Gong and was eventually defeated! He was quite brave but not wise, and he only looked at the causes and not the consequences, which made him quite arrogant."

Li Nian nodded and said, "Your Majesty has a keen eye. This is indeed the case with Xiang Yu. Although he has the courage of a hegemon, he lacks the wisdom of a king. In addition to the 'Hongmen Banquet' and the 'Xiayi Plan', Zhang Liang also refuted Li Shiqi's proposal to divide the fiefdoms."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was interested in what he said about "enfeoffment", Li Nian hurriedly explained: "At that time, it was not when Pei Gong had already won the world, but when the Chu-Han war was still going on. Pei Gong was trapped in Xingyang and asked his ministers what countermeasures could be used to resolve the crisis. Li Shiqi proposed to restore the six kingdoms, saying that the rulers, ministers and people of the six kingdoms would be grateful for Pei Gong's virtue, and the crisis could be resolved."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng thought it sounded so familiar. He remembered that Chunyu Yue seemed to have said the same thing, so he asked, "What is the relationship between Li Shiqi and Chunyu Yue?"

Is this an idea that a human could come up with?
Li Nian hesitated for a moment and replied, "Li Shiqi is also a Confucian scholar!"

Ying Zheng was immediately fine.

"The Duke of Pei believed Li Shiqi's words and was ready to do it. Fortunately, Zhang Liang came back from his trip and heard about it. He persuaded him to stop it in time. The Duke of Pei was eating at that time. After hearing Zhang Liang's words, he stopped eating and spit out the food, cursing: 'You little scholar, you almost ruined the public affairs!'"

Hearing the words "You young scholar almost ruined public affairs!", Ying Zheng suddenly felt a little envious. Although Pei Gong seemed to be a rogue, he did not have to be as particular as him and could scold and yell at will. However, he knew that he was different from Pei Gong and could not do that.

"When Pei Gong proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Han Dynasty, he and his ministers mostly supported the idea of ​​making Luoyang the capital, but Zhang Liang persuaded Pei Gong to make Chang'an the capital. From then on, the Han Dynasty had Chang'an for two hundred years!"

"After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang was granted the title of Marquis of Liu for his meritorious service. He had always been weak and had many illnesses. After the empire was first settled, he gradually retired from the court. Later, he even gave up worldly affairs, learned fasting and Taoism, and died eight years later!"

Ying Zheng said: "He is indeed smart. He knows how to protect himself and get a good result."

Even if Zhang Liang stayed, he would not be killed. He had a good relationship with Liu Bang and Lu Zhi. When Liu Bang wanted to change the crown prince, Lu Zhi asked her brother Lu Ze to ask Zhang Liang for advice. Zhang Liang's strategy really saved Liu Ying's position as the crown prince. "Liu Hou's wisdom is recorded in history. He was revered as the 'first sage of all time'. When emperors praised their advisers, the phrase 'my Zi Fang' was the highest praise."

Li Nian simply let it go. Whether the First Emperor would kill Zhang Liang was not something he could decide. It would be better for him to make peace with Liu Hou.

"In later generations, emperors established martial arts temples, with Taigong Wang as the chief priest and Liuhou as the deputy priest, whose status was higher than that of the ten sages and generals."

After listening to this, Ying Zheng fell into a long silence. Such a person, such a talent, "the first sage of counseling throughout the ages", "the second in the Temple of Martial Arts", and the phrase "my Zifang" are the highest praises for a counselor...

It's a pity that it's difficult for him to use it!
Even if he was willing to let Zhang Liang go, would Zhang Liang agree?

Although he had never met the "Sage of Strategy", Ying Zheng already knew the answer in his heart. Such great men throughout the ages were all people of strong will, and it was difficult to correct their ideas and positions.

If you don't have a strong will and the spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me", how can you accomplish great things and leave your name for generations to come?

Ying Zheng sighed inwardly and looked at Li Nian. Thinking of how this boy praised Zhang Liang, he deliberately asked, "How do you think I should deal with Pei Gong and the 'Three Heroes' of the early Han Dynasty?"

"The First Emperor knows that I have a good impression of Emperor Gaozu and Liu Hou, so he asked this on purpose."

Li Nian did not hide anything. He spoke the truth: "From my personal point of view, I hope that the king can recruit Pei Gong and the three heroes to serve the king. They are all people who have left their names in history. I don't want them to die like this."

"But if it is for the sake of the king and the Qin Dynasty, Pei Gong can be killed or not. Xiao He and Han Xin can be used by the king, but Liu Hou must be killed!"

After hearing this, the First Emperor said, "You are really honest!"

If Li Nian directly said to kill Pei Gong and the three heroes, not only would the First Emperor not believe it, but he would think he was dishonest.

After explaining his solution, Li Nian explained: "At this time, Pei Gong had not yet become famous. He was just a scoundrel in Pei County. If the world was peaceful and the people were happy, how could he suddenly become a dragon, from Pei Gong to the King of Han, and then to the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty?"

As Master Xing said in the movie "The Legend of Drunken Master", "The number of members in the Beggars' Sect is not decided by me, but by you. If you are truly wise and powerful, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, no one would be willing to be a beggar!"

If the First Emperor could govern the world well, the Duke of Pei would remain the Duke of Pei all his life and would not transform into a dragon when faced with storms. If he cannot govern the world well, then what would be the point of killing Liu Ji of Pei County?
There will also be Jiao Ji from Jiao County and Chen Ji from Chen County. Someone will always come out and ask Daqin to die!

"Xiao He and Han Xin are no threat to the Qin Dynasty. If the whole country had not rebelled and the magistrate of Pei County wanted to kill Xiao He, he would probably have stayed in Pei County and worked as a clerk, and even refused to be promoted."

"What Han Xin wanted was nothing more than someone who could appreciate his talent, allow him to display what he had learned, and in the process get some 'deserved rewards' in his opinion."
