Before his death, Meng Tian left behind a very classic saying: "However, those who know that they will die and uphold their righteousness will not dare to insult the teachings of their ancestors so as not to forget the late emperor."
"Historical Records": Tian said: "From my ancestors to my descendants, I have accumulated merits in the third generation of Qin. Today, I have more than 300,000 soldiers. Although I am imprisoned, my power is enough to double my side. However, those who know that they will die and uphold their righteousness will not dare to insult the teachings of their ancestors, so as not to forget their ancestors."
Before he died, Meng Tian once said something. At the beginning, he said that Meng Tian had three qualities. One hundred thousand soldiers could have rebelled after hearing the news of the death penalty, but he did not want to. Three generations of his family had been greatly favored by the Qin State and were unwilling to betray the Qin Dynasty.
Unwilling to let down his ancestors, he asked the envoy to convey his loyalty to Qin II. The envoy was also a smart man. Although he admired Meng Tian's loyalty, he was also afraid of Zhao Gao's viciousness, so he did not agree to Meng Tian and advised Meng Tian to obey the imperial edict and commit suicide.
Before committing suicide:
Meng Tian was worried that the people behind him would use his death as an excuse to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, so he admitted his sin, but he believed that his sin was Because cutting off the earth line had nothing to do with Qin II, he just wanted to use this as an excuse to cut off other people's attempts.
It can be seen that until the moment before his death, Meng Tian was still thinking about Da Qin and did not want Da Qin to be attacked because of his death. From Meng Tian's words before his death, we can see that he was a truly loyal minister and his death was very tragic and admirable. However, there are many loyal people in history, and there are also many tragic people.
