Wei Choufu and Ed: Same fate, different endings. Both of them belong to "small white faces" in essence, and their fates are chess pieces, but their endings are so different.
I want Wei Choufu to be buried behind Mrs Qin when I am dying. In fact, although it was an open folk custom at that time, Mrs. Qin was the empress dowager of Daqin after all. If she does such a dirty thing, it will definitely cause public outrage. Killing Wei Choufu is undoubtedly a way to calm the anger of the Qin government. It can be said that it was not too much to kill him according to the situation at that time, but Wei Choufu finally persuaded Yong Rui, and finally Wei Choufu got away with it.
In the history of Lao Ai, it is not so lucky. Later, Lao Ai attempted rebellion and wanted to make his son the king of Qin. Unfortunately, all this was expected by Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang was afraid that Lao Ai would not rebel, and Lao Ai had reason to rebel and kill Lao Ai. Finally, Lao Ai was dismembered by Qin Shihuang, and he and Evonne's two sons were not so lucky. They were ordered by Qin Shihuang to be packed in sacks and beaten to death.
How similar the fate of these two people is, the fate of Toy Boy, but the ending is quite different. No one knows what the history after a narrow escape was like, but it seems to have ended successfully. After all, he is no threat to people; One was dismembered by five horses.
So why did these two people end up like this?
I don't know where I am. Lao Ai's fate doomed him to know little about Wei Choufu. There are not many records about him in history. I only know that he is after Qin, and his love is very popular. However, before Qin Xu Antai died, he wanted him to be buried with himself because he liked him so much.
But let's see, how did Wei Choufu escape? He persuaded Yong Rui, a courtier, who said such a thing in front of Mrs. Qin to escape, but it contained huge information. Why can Wei Choufu convince Yong Rui? You know, Wei Choufu is a nobody. He doesn't know that Yong Rui and other courtiers are fighting for it. This has explained the problem:
One is that Wei Choufu is no threat to people. It really doesn't matter whether to kill him or not, because Wei Choufu himself is a "pawn" at the mercy of others, and Wei Choufu himself accepts this fact. There are not many records about him in history, which shows that he didn't make waves in the State of Qin. By the same token, he was able to persuade Rui to help him speak, indicating that his popularity in the Qin court was not bad, and he certainly did a lot in private. Therefore, the chess pieces that pose no threat to people pose no threat to the State of Qin, so killing him or not only depends on the master's mind, and it is Yong Rui who can change the master's mind. Wei Choufu can get in touch with him, which also shows that he has no less points at ordinary times.
Ed died because he didn't know his place. In fact, at first, Ai was just a pawn of Lv Buwei, which was used by Lv Buwei to distance himself from Evonne, and Ai successfully completed his mission.
But Lao Ai's mistake was that he thought that hooking up with Evonne was tantamount to controlling the State of Qin, so his ambition began to swell, and he even called himself Qin Shihuang's fake father. His behavior is not just to hit his face, but to press Qin Fu's face on the ground, which means that even if Qin Shihuang was generous and didn't kill him, Qin Fu wouldn't agree.
At the same time, Ai is not content to be a pawn. In the later period, he gradually wanted to get rid of Lv Buwei's control, and even wanted to change his destiny and become the king of Qin.
No matter to Lv Buwei or Ying Zheng, Ai has become a huge threat, and neither side will let him go easily. But for Ying Zheng, he not only wants Lao Ai's life, but also wants Lv Buwei's life, so how to make good use of Lao Ai is the key.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Laoyi rebelled, which became the hero of Ying Zheng's downfall of Lv Buwei. Didn't you recommend Ed? Isn't it his fault that he betrayed you as prime minister?
Therefore, after the Lao Ai rebellion, Lv Buwei had to hand over power, and Ying Zheng took the opportunity to take power for himself.
How about this one? Finally, he became an outcast. Lv Buwei and Ying Zheng refused to let Ed go. First, because his presence threatened them. The other is because he offended so many people that not killing him is not enough to calm the anger of the Qin government.
So the reason why Ed died was that he couldn't figure out his position. He has no talent to be a hunter from prey to prey. He has always been the prey of others, but he wants to be a hunter, and finally he can only set himself on fire.
