The founding emperor of the Hou Zhao dynasty was called Shi Le.
There is nothing special about Shi Le. The only thing that is different from others is that he may be the emperor with the lowest starting point and background in Chinese history.
Shi Le was a slave when he was young.
Yes, they are the kind of people who work all day long and don’t care about food. They have no control over their own life and death. They have no dignity and are only treated as slaves in commodity trading.
No one would have thought that such a person who was worse than a dog could separatize the entire northern region of except Liaoxi, Hexi, Liaodong, and even form a confrontation with the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
This man who worked his way from slave to emperor perfectly interpreted a sentence - as long as a person does not die, there will never be a settlement, let alone an ending.
The aconite is white and the iron tree is blooming. Nothing is impossible in this world.
Looking back on Shi Le's life, his story can be said to be legendary and long, but to the author himself, Shi Le is just a few pages in the book.
On the previous page, he was still a slave. On this page, he became the emperor. On the next page, he was dying of old age and was about to receive lunch.
has a century-old ambition to achieve hegemony, but that’s all.

When Shi Le died, he passed the throne to his son Shi Hong.
Shi Hong is a cultural person, and he is also a very famous cultural person.
Shi Hong was born with an elegant personality. He liked to write and write, recite poems and write poems, and he would never let go of the scroll.
Unlike his father who crawled out of the dead, Shi Hong is very benevolent.
A few days after the death of the first emperor Shi Le, and before the new emperor Shi Hong's buttocks were warm from sitting on the dragon throne, a very serious mutiny broke out in the Later Zhao Dynasty.
The initiator of the mutiny was Shihu, the nephew of the late Emperor Shi Le.
Comrade Shi Hu had a strong personality, commanded military power, and was huge. He quickly broke into the palace, deposed Shi Hong, and usurped the throne.
Some readers may say that Shi Hong can be considered a generation of heroes, he has read more than ten thousand volumes, and he has something in his head and is thoughtful. How could he be defeated so easily by the big boss Shi Hu?
Actually, this is normal.
The founding emperor of Hou Zhao, Shi Le, was uneducated and didn't even know the words, but he achieved great success as an emperor. However, the new emperor Shi Hong, who was gentle and well-educated, ended up being deposed first and then killed.

What does this mean?
This shows that although knowledge is power , empty talk alone can never solve the problem.
Because in this world, power speaks.
Shi Hong did read a lot, but he may not have realized that the subset of classics and history and the teachings of sages and sages that he read could only be used for reading.
These things are used to cultivate sentiments, and there is no problem in making friends through literature, but they are useless when used to do things.
Following the blood of his relatives, Shi Hu became the new emperor of the dynasty.
Shi Hu’s reputation is obviously incomparable to Shi Hong’s.
There have been many foolish kings in history, especially those in the Sixteen Kingdoms period, and Shi Hu was one of the outstanding ones among the ranks of the foolish kings in the Sixteen Kingdoms.
The author gives an example. After Shi Hu ascended the throne, he once issued an order like this in the country:
In the country of Hou Zhao, any woman under the age of twenty or over twelve, regardless of whether she is married or not, if she is favored by the emperor, must unconditionally enter the harem to serve the emperor. Such an obscene and shameless command as
is still unbelievable when I read it now.

The ignorant Shi Hu spent his life in a daze and passed the throne to his son Shi Shi.
History is always surprisingly similar. The new emperor Shi Shi was only ten years old, and it was a bit difficult to get on the Kang. How could he become an emperor? So it quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of Shi Hu's other son Shi Zun.
Shi Zun raised an army, entered the palace, deposed Shi Shi, and usurped the throne again.
Born in an ordinary family, he still has the opportunity to live an ordinary life. However, once he falls into the emperor's family and becomes the emperor's heir, he will inevitably be involved in a bloody storm.
Shi Shi became emperor entirely because of Shi Hu's favor. A ten-year-old child was raped from the throne, imprisoned, and eventually killed. Was his fate unfair, or did he do something wrong?
Shi Shi did nothing wrong, the only fault was that he was born in that chaotic era.
Now, the new emperor of the Later Zhao Dynasty became Shi Zun.
Shi Zunneng came to power through a mutiny by force, and during the mutiny, the person who contributed the most was a general named Ran Min.
Comrade Ran Min had outstanding military exploits, to the extent that Shi Zun was a little embarrassed, because almost half of the world was defeated by Ran Min with his help.

In the early stages of starting a business, the relationship between the two monarchs heated up rapidly, to the point where Shi Zun said to Ran Min, "Don't worry, follow me well, and I will make you the prince after he becomes the emperor."
The honest man Ran Min firmly believed in Shi Zun's words. He believed that in this world, his relationship with Shi Zun could transcend the blood inheritance of the throne. However, he did not realize that there were two situations where the words could only be listened to but not believed.
One is on the battlefield, the other is on the wine table.
When Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, raised an army, he promised to pass the throne to his second son, Li Shimin, . As a result, the Tang Dynasty was established, and the eldest brother, Li Jiancheng, became the crown prince.
When Chengzu of the Ming DynastyZhu Di rebelled, he once patted his son HanwangZhu Gaoxu on the shoulder and said, "The prince is very ill, so you should encourage him." This means that your eldest brother Zhu Gaochi is not in good health. You have to work harder. If you work harder, the throne may be yours in the future.
However, at the critical moment, Zhu Di would rather pass the throne to his eldest son, who was dying soon, and never considered Zhu Gaoxu.
Can you believe what the emperor said?
There is a balance between son and son. Will they still consider you as an outsider?
Therefore, after Shi Zun ascended the throne, he did not fulfill his promise. Although he placed Ran Min in an extremely important position and allowed him to control the government and take over the power, he did not establish Ran Min as the prince.
Ordinarily, Ran Min shouldn't be angry.
(image of Shi Zun)
Your surname is Ran, and his surname is Shi. You are not a family at all. What is there to fight about? What's more, no matter how stupid Shi Zun is, he will definitely consider his sons first.
But the problem is that Shi Zun has no heirs, neither his biological son nor his adopted son.
If Shi Zun had a son and passed the throne to his son, there would be nothing wrong with it, but Shi Zun would rather leave the crown prince's position empty than consider Ran Min, which really made Ran Min a little angry.
If you didn't want me to take over at the beginning, just don't say it. You said it but you couldn't do it. Aren't you just kidding me?
Ran Min was very unhappy, but at least Shi Zun had given him enough power.
However, for Shi Zun, even if some of the power of running the country and leading the army was given to Ran Min, Shi Zun was not very happy.
When I was young and Ran Min worked with me, I was still talking about the so-called brotherhood and made a promise to share blessings and share hardships.
However, when he became an emperor, he discovered that anyone can maintain pure friendship and emotions, but he alone cannot do so.
If a person is not selfish, he cannot be an emperor.
Ran Min was extremely powerful, had prestige in the army, and was a high-ranking official in the court. He had reached the point where he was highly accomplished and specialized in government affairs. When a minister reaches this level, he is no longer a minister, but has become a cancer.
In addition, I broke my promise and did not let him become the prince. This old boy may hate me a lot.
After such brainstorming, Shi Zunke became murderous.
is so pitiful.
I think back then, they were also like-minded friends, brothers who fought side by side, and partners who trusted each other.
They can spend the hard and difficult years together, but they cannot sit together calmly after becoming successful.
Some people are destined to be friends only in adversity.
Friendship turned into hostility, enthusiasm turned into silence.

Shi Zun no longer hesitated. He immediately found his brother Shi Jian and said this:
I think Ran Min is a little bit arrogant. He probably won’t work for me anymore, so I plan to kill him.
As a member of the royal family, Shi Jian was working under Shi Zun at this time. Of course he agreed with Shi Zun's idea, but some far-sighted officials did not think so.
You, Shi Zun, can become the emperor, mostly with the help of Ran Min. He is a little crazy now, but the crime is not worthy of death. If you want to kill him, won't you have made people's hearts cold and hard to explain?
However, once the butcher knife was revealed, there was no possibility of taking it back. Shi Zun not only did not listen to the advice, but began to further discuss how to get rid of Ran Min.
The emperor was talking happily here, but he didn't realize that his good brother Shi Jian had already trotted away and left the meeting.
Shi Jian did not hesitate. In this power struggle, he quickly figured out his situation.
helps Shi Zun get rid of Ran Min, what will happen to him? Ended up like a rabbit or a dog?
Killed Shi Zun’s entrepreneurial partner at his will, so what did his brother mean to him?
Therefore, at this juncture, it is better to give it a go and join forces with Ran Min to counterattack Shi Zun. As long as Shi Zun is eliminated, the throne will fall to himself, who has royal blood.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Therefore, Shi Jian found Ran Min, and after reporting the news, the two hit it off. Ran Min immediately led troops to counterattack the palace, captured Shi Zun, and made Shi Jian the new emperor.
The city was conquered by thieves, the capital fell, swords flashed, blood flowed, a famous corpse, plus a bunch of nameless corpses, this was the imperial hegemony of Hou Zhao.
Before Shi Zun died, he once asked the minister who launched the rebellion. The minister replied that it was your brother Shi Jian.
After knowing the answer, Shi Zun was not sad or angry. He just sighed softly and said this:
Even if I am an emperor, how long can Shi Jian last as an emperor?
It’s a pity that Shi Jian didn’t have the chance to hear this sigh.
He would never have imagined that Ran Min, whom he went to inform, was not a miserable man trapped in the quagmire of power like himself, nor was he like himself, swaying with the wind in troubled times.
Shi Jian wanted to take advantage of Ran Min, but he didn't know that he was making a deal with the devil.
The future of the Zhao Dynasty has reached a wonderful and suspenseful node at this moment. The bloodstains of the dynasty are accompanied by the light and darkness in the sky, and everything will move towards a new repetition.
The author has heard a fairy tale before. The story takes place in a place called Mount Sumeru.
There is a group of races called Asuras living in Mount Sumeru.
Asuras often fight each other or unite to fight against the gods in the sky.
The reason for their fight is very simple, it is to obtain a tree called Suzhidala Bodala.
Owning the Suzhi Talabala tree means owning everything.
However, although the trunk and body of this tree are on Mount Sumeru, the fruits produced on the tree are all hanging in the sky.
can never be picked up and will never be dropped.
If you can read this, congratulations, you will follow the historical story of the Later Zhao Dynasty and step into the Shura Field.
