213 BC, that is, Qin Shihuang thirty-fourth year.
This big man who unified the "world" for the first time in Chinese history, Ying Zheng , had a big banquet for guests in the Xianyang Palace.
"I, I am happy today, everyone can drink happily!"
When the ministers heard this, they were naturally excited and drank and wished them. There was a minister named Zhou Qingchen who saw the opportunity and showed off his skills in flattering horses and beards.
"Your Majesty, you see the great rule of the world. This is a good situation that has not been around since ancient times! Your Majesty's achievements are the world, and Your Majesty's great blessings are the same as the sky."
Qin Shihuang heard it in his ears and was sweet in his heart. It is everyone's nature to like to hear good things.
But there was one person who was unhappy. who? Are you so brave?
He is Dr. Chunyu Yue. If you think you dare to tell the truth, you can win the appreciation of your master like the lobbyist in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even get your own success.
Chunyu Yue said something that made Qin Shihuang feel disgusted: "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of success in doing things without learning from the ancients. Today, Zhou Qingchen flattered you in person and pleased you. This is not a loyal minister!"
intelligence was mistaken for being clever! Chunyu Yue's words made Qin Shihuang unable to show his face and unable to get over it.
You should know that this is a big banquet for guests and ministers are present. Should the emperor be unable to get along with someone who says good things?
The world is no longer the world. It’s not that I don’t understand, but that the world is getting too fast!
At this time, Qin Shihuang wanted to be obedient and obedient ministers who could serve the monarch as one person. He believed that only in this way can the Qin I, II, and III last forever.
Chunyu Yue pointed out that Zhou Qingchen "flattered" in his face, which seemed to be thinking about the emperor, but in fact he was against the scales, which made Ying Zheng furious.
Qin Shihuang simply handed this matter over to the ministers present, in fact, to see who else dared to offend the emperor. Therefore, the smart Li Si stood up and made a generous speech, thus opening up a vigorous cultural movement in Chinese history.
Li Si said: "Your Majesty, , the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, is no longer the same. Times are different. Now your Majesty, you will unify the world. Establish the achievements of all ages and the great cause of a thousand years. Can those stupid Confucian scholars understand?! I urge the historian to burn all the books that do not meet the unification of , Qin . You can leave medicine, divination, planting, etc.."
It is necessary to add something here. Qin Shihuang accepted the suggestion of Prime Minister Li Si, and burned books and bury scholars, not all books were burned. actually has backups, and there is no one in the net. The more serious burning of books, occurred when Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace . Three months later, the fire will not be extinguished.
Qin Shihuang The original intention of burning books and burying scholars was not to destroy culture, but to form centralized power and monarchy. To put it bluntly, it is to make those who have ideas understand a truth: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Back to Musk.
Musk's acquisition of Twitter is by no means as simple as a commercial transaction. You can know by looking at the subtle relationship between Musk, the American fashion circle black V Kanye and Trump .
Musk supports Kanye, but in fact he supports Trump.
More importantly, Biden ’s relationship with Musk is very unavailable.
Biden Electric Vehicle Future Trend Summit, Tesla was not invited! The US Secretary of Transportation is puzzled and raised doubts. Musk responded by himself that this seems very biased!
It should be pointed out that in the past three years, Tesla has been the leader in the US pure electric car market, accounting for 74% of sales.
excludes the big guys in the electric vehicle field. Is Biden turning a blind eye to Musk?
Musk felt naturally uncomfortable! This account will probably be settled sooner or later.
What is important is that Musk wants Twitter to truly become the weapon in his own hands . If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Musk naturally knew this truth.
Twitter is not enough to buy it for a lot of money. What to do?
must be centralized, noise must be eliminated, and sound must be unified! How can
be done?
Burning books and burying scholars!
Where is the Twitter book? It's in the hands of executives and chief technology officers. Who is the "Confucian scholar" who is ignorant of the current affairs of Twitter? They are those existing employees who occupy the pit and do not shit, but think they are self-righteous and even rely on their seniority.
So, after Musk took over Twitter, he fired four executives as soon as possible. Then, he tried to kill and released rumors, and he wanted to lay off more than half of the employees, about 3,700 people.
For a moment, the entire Twitter company was in a panic and everything was in trouble. Everyone has a strong sense of crisis!
programmers write code dictated, employees work overtime continuously, voluntarily become "997" working mode, and Twitter rolls up! Roll it up! Roll it up!
rolled until everyone who should be lying down, everyone who should be lying down, and everyone who should be lying down.
This round of " Burning Books and Burying Confucians " operations, the internal mechanism and external environment of Twitter will be "clear and upright", and only the leader will follow.
In this way, Musk's will can be realized.
The next big drama will gradually begin.
Cailianshe, November 3, Musk said on November 2 local time that Twitter will not allow any users removed for violating Twitter rules to return to the platform until there is no clear process.
This means that before the US midterm elections arrive, Trump is no exception. It seems very fair, but it is actually protected in secret. Because Musk will take some time to reshape the public opinion atmosphere and internal mechanism of Twitter to ensure that Twitter is under his own control.
Water can carry a boat or cover it.
Where is the "water" in this era? it goes without saying.
How can a big boat run steadily and far?
Burning books and burying scholars may just be the first step in the Long March.
