Many people in history have been discussing why Fusu did not resist until his death. He clearly had Meng Tian's 300,000 troops, so he could have gone to Xianyang to ask questions before making a decision!

Many people in history have been discussing why Fusu did not resist until his death. He clearly had Mengtian 's 300,000 army. He could have gone to Xianyang to ask clearly before making a decision!

First of all, this history is unclear. Meng Tian’s meaning is very clear (the messenger may be a fake and the emperor’s order may be false), Fusu (how dare he disobey his father’s order), they are not in the same rhythm at all, okay! One suspects that the emperor is fake, the other has no doubt, why?

At that time, there was no news about the emperor's death. There was only news about where the emperor was touring, and there was the real jade seal pattern in the edict. Why did Meng Tian doubt the emperor? Is the emperor's messenger fake? Meng Tian made it so clear, why didn't Fusu understand what he meant? Why was he so sure that the emperor's order was true?

1. Fusu may have seen the contents of the edict earlier than Meng Tian, and there are no detailed records in history books. So Fusu saw the jade seal pattern and confirmed it to be true, but Meng Tian at least did not see the jade seal pattern. Even if he did, why didn't his younger brother Meng Yi not notify him urgently? So he had questions. Fusu may have asked for instructions, but there was no response or another similar edict came.

2. Qin Law stipulates that being unfilial is a sin, and talking back to parents is also a sin. From the common people to the princes and nobles, everyone abides by the law. The prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. This sentence is feasible in Qin State . If the prince breaks the law and punishes his teacher, of course the king does not have to be punished, but the king must also be subject to the checks and balances of the law. Unless he changes the law, there must be many ministers who oppose it. Fusu remonstrated as before. Although he did not think it was wrong but was thinking about the state of Qin, he did talk back to his father and he could not argue.

So what is the punishment for being unfilial and talking back? Exile or even death with a broken leg is possible. In the Qin State, if a father accuses his son of a crime, the officials must arrest him immediately. If he does not go immediately, he will also be guilty of dereliction of duty. On the other hand, the son felt that his father was guilty and sued the official, but the official thought it was a family matter and refused to accept the case. Therefore, Fusu may have thought that even if he asked for instructions, he would be tortured to death even if he did not die. For example, he would be given a lighter punishment and his legs would be cut off, and the Qin State also had a terrible law that if the son was disabled and the father executed him, he would not be held accountable by law. In that era, being disabled was no different from death. He might still want to die with dignity.

3. When Qin Shihuang was still alive, he only sent Master Fusu to the northern border for training, but did not really allocate all the 300,000 troops to Master Fusu. In terms of military command, General Meng Tian still has the final say.

This sentence in "Historical Records" is also very critical: "The first emperor was angry, so Fusu Northern Supervisor Meng Tian was sent to the upper county." Fusu's advice had angered Qin Shihuang, and Fusu was only sent to the northern part as a supervisor. Meng Tian was the real commander, and Fusu had no power to dispatch troops.

And the Qin State has such things as Tiger Talisman . Having military power means having Tiger Talisman. We must understand what the tiger talisman is to understand Fusu's situation at that time. The tiger talisman has two halves, the right half is the emperor's talisman in the hands of the emperor, and the left half is the general's talisman. To mobilize the army, the left and right tiger talisman must fit together. If one half is missing, no one can do it unless the king comes in person.

Please don’t say that the tiger talisman can be faked. The main purpose of the tiger talisman is to prevent local generals from rebelling. It is used by the king to defend the general. Otherwise, foreign military orders will be ignored. The army can easily become the general’s own subordinates. The king does not allow this to happen, so there will be other measures to ensure that the tiger talisman is really useful and there are no fakes. Of course, in addition to tiger talismans, edicts and festivals are also required for mobilizing the army. Many people say so, so I will add it here.

Some people may say, that's not right. When you see Shang Yang was harmed by Young Master Qian, didn't you start an army to defend yourself? Lao Ai can't they also start a rebellion? Why is it so difficult to get to Fusu? The reason is very simple. Shang Yang was built by Daliang, and Lao Ai was granted the title of marquis. They all had fiefs, which meant that the land was their own and they could organize their own forces.The First Emperor resolutely did not allow the enfeoffment because he saw so many ministers of enfeoffing rebelling.

Later Chunyu Yue advised the emperor's son to become a vassal king somewhere, but the First Emperor also refused. The 300,000 troops always belonged to the emperor himself. When the emperor asked Fusu Mengtian to hand over his military power, they had no power because the emperor did not allow his ministers to have power that could threaten the imperial power. Li Si once heard people around the emperor tell him that the emperor didn't like him riding in a luxurious carriage with so many guests, so he immediately restrained himself. But the emperor was very angry, and regardless of who leaked his words, he executed all the maids and guards present at the time. Therefore, some people say that an informant should be placed next to the emperor. It is better not to think about committing such an act of seeking death. If the emperor instead tortures the emperor, wouldn't the informant tell everything about the master's actions?

4. He does not have a God’s perspective, but we do, so we know that the ending is not good, but he is looking forward to a good ending. I wonder if any of you have ever played a game with a rich plot, many choices, and many endings? Those who have played it will probably understand his choice. Because as a player, you have no idea what will happen next, and every choice you make is actually not right or wrong. You have made a lot of considerations, but the ending of the game will be different because of this.

5. The edict was issued to the Qin State. This machine was running normally, there was no chaos in the world, and everyone thought that the First Emperor was still alive. The laws of Qin were too strict, and officials had more responsibilities than the rules that the common people had to abide by. Easily challenging the law will only result in trying the law yourself. This can be seen by looking at the number of people who were punished with corvee for various crimes.

What would have happened if Fusu had not chosen to rebel but had gone to the First Emperor himself to find out? He had to pass the checkpoint, that is, pass through the high city wall, but if the Qin Dynasty people wanted to go elsewhere, they had to show proof, not just identity documents, but also letters of recommendation written by officials. The official who wrote the letter was also responsible. If you try to forcefully climb the wall, you will be discovered by the soldiers on the wall, who will probably fire crossbows directly. The Great Wall is separated from Xianyang or the Sand Dunes by several cities. With the advantage of many people, someone can forcefully pass the level, but what about the next level?

Xianyang and Shangjun are connected by Qinzhidao and it takes three days to walk! It takes six days to go back and forth. Judging from the result of Mengtian's refusal, if Fusu did not accept the edict, he would probably be imprisoned. Time is running out! Judging from the historical results, assuming that the historical records are wrong and he really asked the envoy to do this, it is obvious that he did not succeed. If he chooses to hide, Shang Yang, who made the law, has already tried it. No one dared to keep him, and he was even reported by the hotel owner, so he had no choice but to raise troops to defend himself.

But to fight against the king is to hit an egg against a stone, and in the end he was punished by breaking a chariot into pieces. What about escaping? There were many examples of successful escapes in the pre-Qin period. If Qin could not stay any longer, it could go to the other six countries, but Qin has already unified the six countries. Isn’t it the king’s land in the world? , where to go? The only loophole is the northern grassland. As long as you go north, you will encounter Xiongnu , one of the leaders of the enemy army that Fusu has been fighting with the Xiongnu for a long time. How could the Xiongnu accept Fusu? If he decided to live with the Xiongnu incognito, he would never have a name to go south again, let alone say that he was a Qin .

If you avoid crowds, you will face the test of survival in the wild. To live on the grassland, you must at least have tents, food and weapons. Otherwise, where will you stay at night and what will you eat on a daily basis?

In "The Biography of Meng Tian", Meng Yi was directly killed by the messenger. Could it be that Meng Tian's martial arts practitioners couldn't deal with the little eunuch? He did not accept the edict and asked for instructions again. The result was that there was a legitimate way to issue the edict, and it was by no means as random as the TV series made it look like. The people of Qin were influenced by Shang Yang's reforms and were more observant. The king also wanted his people to abide by the rules. This was also the reason why the people of Chu had a stronger reaction to being ruled by the Qin people than people from other countries.However, even if there were so many rules, no one would oppose it. In fact, many people could not accept Shang Yang's reform in the early days after it was announced, but Wang insisted on it. There were countless examples of bloodshed, so everyone had no choice but to accept the reform in order to survive. After a while, everyone finally felt its benefits.

Besides, just because an official is negligent in his duties does not mean that everyone wants to do so. Otherwise, who would really want to take advantage of someone else's fault? Unless the world is in chaos and many officials are eliminated, the news will not reach the king's ears quickly. Of course, even if the Qin Law is like this, some people will still say that the system is dead and people are alive. Since there are regulations, it means that many people do not obey the law and still make mistakes, and some people have succeeded. Aren't there still many people who are trying the law by themselves?

Xiang Bo was a first-level wanted criminal in the Qin State at that time, but he escaped Guanzhong and returned to his hometown due to his connections. Zhang Liang Bolangsha assassinated Qin. After searching the whole country for ten days, he found nothing. When a meteorite fell, someone carved a curse on it and cursed the First Emperor, but they still couldn't find out who did it. As a result, they got rid of the whole village in a fit of anger. These examples do show a very embarrassing fact about the Qin Dynasty, that is, Qin's laws are very useful in small matters, but they may not be able to restrain the people of the Six Kingdoms in big matters. Instead, they have trapped the people of Qin. Although Qin unified the world, most of the officials were from the Six Kingdoms and would take care of the people of the Six Kingdoms, so the First Emperor could only tour the world over and over again to shock the world.

That's why it is said that Fusu Mengtian was under the restriction of Qin's laws. No matter what, he had to go north or south to face the dangerous Xianyang. There was a reason why no one had invaded for so long since the Qin Dynasty moved the capital. There were sand dunes on the right, and the Hu people's territory and even the desert on the left. This is no longer escaping, but being surrounded on all sides and entering the tiger's mouth.

6. People have heard of him as a virtuous person, and he is indeed so. Regardless of whether he can mobilize the army, what if he plays the emotional card, lies about the military situation, and then goes south to seize the throne? It was obvious that he had no intention of doing so. When he opposed his father's approach before, he remonstrated and said that the world has just been settled, and the head of Guizhou in the distance has not reached it, fearing that the world will be uneasy, and he is worried that the world will be uneasy! In fact, it was indeed the case. The Qin State at that time was already a powder keg. The people felt that they were the tools of the ruler. They built palaces and the Great Wall, and the grain they grew had to be paid. Various natural disasters continued. The laws were too detailed. If they accidentally violated Qin's laws, they could not rest.

Although he disagrees with Li Si's approach, there is no problem with him blocking the news, because once everyone knows that the emperor is gone, the new emperor has not ascended the throne, and the brothers are busy fighting for the throne, what will the people do? Maybe Chen Sheng Wu Guang's type of uprising will be advanced. If he ordered the soldiers to go south, wouldn't it be obvious that the emperor was gone? It was obvious that he wanted to seize the throne? He decided to sacrifice himself to prevent Qin from falling into crisis and to keep the world from chaos.

Since the people think he is virtuous, it means that he probably has some love for the people, and he does not want the people to suffer. If he disregards the lives of the people and the cause of the chaos in Qin is not the army going north, then how can he revolt? Will the people think he is virtuous and follow him?

At that time, there was almost no intersection between aristocrats and common people. But many people blamed him for the Qin Dynasty's chaos, but this was not his original intention. Because it is obvious that the situation cannot be changed by the actions of a few people. Everyone sees that the uprising at the end of Qin was not only the action of a large group of people, but also the whole country did the same thing, so the Qin State was unable to withstand it. Qin is not saved only by seizing the throne. There are many ways to save Qin, depending on the perspective.

In fact, Fusu and Meng Tian almost understand what is going on. Don't treat the ancients as fools. A good politician has the ability to see the subtle things. It is not difficult to deduce this matter. When the edict arrives, Meng Tian will probably be able to guess what exactly happened. Therefore, the sacrifice of two people is actually sacrificing themselves to save the country.

In Fusu, we can avoid war and enjoy the love of father and son as brothers.Yu Mengtian, this unprecedentedly great country was built by his generation. Never underestimate the love of the older generation for the country. I am Mengtian. I would rather die than lead my own troops and reignite the war in the country.

So is there any choice? Fusu was not cowardly, but those who dared to contradict the First Emperor were? Meng Tian is not stupid, they just have their own responsibilities. They don't know what will happen later. For them at that time, it was better for the country to be handed over to Hu Hai Li Si than to war.
