Qin Wangxi’s political reading of Han Fei’s article was very much appreciated, but he thought that Han Fei had been old and lamented, “If I can see this person once, it’s really nothing to do.” The enthusiasm of the muzzle is just like the "fans" of the stars today. The men tell him that Han Fei is not an ancient person, but is still living in South Korea. Zheng Zheng actually sent troops to attack Han and wanted to win this Han Fei. This shows that in the end, the government is a strong career, and it is only for a talent, not for the land, wealth and beauty. I can also imagine that when I read the book of Han Fei, I must feel "thank my heart."
In order to avoid the war, Han Wang gave Han Fei to Qin.
Han Fei went to the Qin State to teach him as a teacher and explained his own legalist theory. His knowledge is naturally greatly appreciated by the government. However, his success caused the embarrassment of his schoolmate, Qin Guofan and Li Si. Li Si is the same younger brother of Han Fei, but the level is worse than that of Han Fei. He found that Han Fei might have usurped his position and decided to eliminate Han Fei according to the principle of protecting the power of the law, so Li Si said that Han Fei’s bad words in the government had caused the government to have a problem with Han Fei. Suspicion put Han Fei in prison. Soon, Han Fei was poisoned by Li Si sent people in prison.
If we regard this incident only as the result of Li Sizhen, it is not comprehensive. It should be said that the emergence of this result is an inevitable result of the "two dilemmas of the thief teacher" faced by Han Fei. If Han Fei does not teach students according to his theory or has reservations, then the ultra-existent political politician will simply not look at the teacher, or see-through him deliberately not telling the truth, and even more doubt the teacher, I don't trust this teacher.
If Han Fei teaches politics in full accordance with his theory, then he must tell the government: The king should not trust any of the courtiers, because these courtiers are coming for his own benefit, if it hurts the interests of your king, it is good for the minister. Then any minister may harm the king. "One day and one battle", that is to say, the conflict of interest between the king and the minister appears hundreds of times a day. He will tell how the government will deal with this courtier, and when it is felt that some ministers are too difficult to deal with, it is a threat. According to Han Fei's theory, killing this minister is a reasonable choice.
In this way, Han Fei actually ignores one point: he is the one who is the most threatening to the government. Because, the government knows that Han Fei is concerned about Han Fei’s own interests, and he also sees the strength of Han Fei. Han Fei is a genius who knows how to use law, technology, and power, except for the lack of his ruling. Beyond the potential, everything is worse than him, only stronger than him. Therefore, according to the logic of Han Fei’s teaching, what the government should do is very simple, that is, killing Han Fei.
Therefore, the death of Han Fei, do not think that it is only because of Li Si’s rumors; to know that Zheng Zheng is not a stupid person, will not kill a person who is so admired, so desired, and so much effort because of a rumor. Get a talent. In fact, Li Si’s rumors are just an excuse for the ruling. According to the idea of Zheng Zheng, Han Fei is a cat who teaches tigers. Since he accidentally teaches tigers even on the trees, the tiger naturally has to eat this teacher first. Eating a teacher is also in line with the teacher's teaching. It can be said that it is a good answer to the teacher, and it is also a reward for the teacher's teaching.
Most of the representatives of the legalists did not end well. Han Fei was poisoned to death in prison, and Shang Yang was also divided into five horses according to his own laws. This seems to be accidental, but the reality is the consequences of the "trilemma of the thief teacher." Those who are clever in their later generations often avoid the truth of Han Fei and even dare not admit that they are legal figures and disguise themselves as Confucianism with morality and morality. But they can't deceive masters after all, and political masters still know their truth, so they can't get rid of this end.
To avoid this end, unless you don't teach people to be thieves.
