In 221 BC, the first emperor of Qin pacified the six kingdoms, "six kings complete, four seas and one."
The energetic Qin Shihuang Yingzheng said to others: " I is the first emperor, and subsequent generations are counted. The three generations to the eternal generations are passed on infinitely. "
The ideal is full, but the reality is like a nutrientless bone. The "passing on to eternal generations" that Qin Shihuang expected has not been realized, but "the second generation and Die".
However, many people say: If the first Emperor Qin dies, it will be the son of Fusu, not Hu Hai, who will ascend to the throne, and the Great Qin Empire will never "die in the second generation." It can even create a "Great Qin Flourishing Age" that is no less than the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Is this really the case? We might as well deduce: If Fusu really became the emperor, what would the Qin Dynasty look like?
Actually, Hu Hai was never the heir in Qin Shihuang's heart. Qin Shihuang always regarded his eldest son Fusu as the next emperor to train. It can be said that Fusu has gained strong political and military capital.
Qin Shihuang's most trusted general at the time, Meng Tian, controlled 300,000 people in the Great Wall Legion, and Fusu was by Meng Tian's side. Moreover, Meng Tian has a younger brother named Meng Yi who is an official in the court and is also a big fan of Fusu. With the support of the Monte brothers, Fusu's throne is still guaranteed.
Fusu has always liked Confucianism. If Fusu came to the throne, he would definitely change his father's "anti-Confucianism" policy, at least to some extent, reverse the "anti-Confucianism" policy of the Qin Dynasty. When Qin Shihuang was still alive, Fusu repeatedly opposed his father's policy, thinking that severe punishments were not desirable, and they could only scare people away. Especially when Emperor Qin Shihuang "burned books to pit Confucianism", Fusu was even more strongly opposed. He said: "Da Qin just unified the world, the whole world has not yet been supported by people. Everyone in the world reads the books of Confucius and Mencius, but his father regarded them as enemies and must It is not advisable to kill it. You can use martial arts to fight the world, and you need to use literati to rule the world.”
Seeing Fusu opposed his own policy, Qin Shihuang was greatly annoyed. He scolded Fu Su and drove him to the north to go to Shangjun and Meng Tianxiu's Great Wall.
Qin Shihuang did this, not to abolish the position of Fusu's crown prince, but to let him see the reality more, contact the military more, and less confuse the pedantic scholars. Of course, Qin Shihuang also had another important purpose, which was to support Meng Tian to become a supporter of the Soviet Union, so that he could protect him in the future.
This fully shows that the candidate for the crown prince in Qin Shihuang's heart is always Fusu.
And Hu Hai, the one-size smaller Qin Shihuang, had the violence of the Shihuang, but not the talent of the Shihuang. Hu Hai’s abnormal ascendancy can be used as a metaphor: the old driver who drank too much drove the car crooked and changed to a substitute driver, but the result was still drunk driving and turned the car into the gutter, while the non-drinking driver Fusu, then He was kicked off the car by a group of drunks.
When Qin Shihuang was alive, he spent huge sums of money to build the Afang Palace, and popular grievances have been boiling. After his death, the Afang Palace temporarily suspended work. Unexpectedly, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, he would go to work on construction projects, exhausting the world's financial resources and angering the world.
Just imagine: If Fusu came to the throne, based on his governance philosophy, he would definitely stop the construction of Afang Palace, which would benefit the people.
One of Qin Shihuang’s most condemned things was the brutal military and nuisance service. The construction of the Afang Palace alone cost 700,000 prisoners, and the total population of the Qin Dynasty was also Just 20 million people, including the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, pregnant, and other people unable to serve.
Qin Shihuang’s Daxing military service and nuisance service can be said to have squeezed the only little property of the people to the end, and the people’s tolerance to the Qin Dynasty has reached its limit! However, the Qin Dynasty still has the opportunity to save itself. This opportunity is to help Su ascend to the throne, change Qin Shihuang's "tyranny" and implement a "benevolent government" to alleviate the people's hatred of the Qin Dynasty.
There is another example of later generations, that is, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Zhu Yunzhang (including Zhu Yunzhang's father and Prince Zhu Biao).
Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu era was strict with officials, which exceeded the tolerance of many people.Zhu Yunqi has a mild personality. After he took the throne, he eased the opposition between officials and the court. Therefore, after the king of Yan Zhu Di rebelled and broke Nanjing, many scholar-officials stood firmly on Zhu Yunqi's side. why? It is Zhu Yunqi's administration that is more in line with their interests.
The ancients said: "The way of civil and martial arts, one piece is one chi." Qin Shihuang's strict usage is in line with the social background of his time, but Qin Shihuang's problem is that he is too strict. At this time, he needs a relatively gentle heir. Come and relax, and Fusu is the best candidate for Wu Zhuanwen.
We all know one thing, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Daze Township on the grounds that "Lack of time, all laws are cut." There is such a point of view: The so-called "Lack of time, the law is cut" was not formulated by Qin Shihuang, it is very likely that Hu Hai formulated it. If this is the case, then it can be understood as follows: After Fusu ascended the throne, he would not implement the tyranny of "Lack of time, the law will be cut", but will use gentle methods to appease the people who "the world is suffering for a long time."
In this way, the uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have no mass foundation. Even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang kill fish and collect books, learn how to bark a fox in the woods, no one cares about them.
Moreover, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang dared to revolt, playing the banner of the son Fusu.
The two people discussed this at the beginning of the uprising. They believed that the son of Su Xianming was the best candidate for the throne of the Qin Dynasty. Hu Hai was not qualified to take the throne. Fusu was rushed to Shangjun by Qin Shihuang, although he was forced to death by Hu Hai But the people still don’t know that Fusu is dead. They only know that Fusu is wise and generous. We can use Fusu’s reputation to revolt.
Through this incident, we can make such a judgment: In the ancient times when the means of information dissemination were very backward, Fusu's virtuous name could be spread all over the world, which shows how much Fusu is. It's popular.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, and it was Hu Hai, not the Qin Dynasty. Ten thousand steps back, even if Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, if Fu Su can be the emperor, there is no need to be afraid of this miscellaneous army from Daze Township. First of all, the Meng family brothers are definitely on the side of Fusu. This army is very powerful. Even the Huns are not their opponents, not to mention the mobs of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Even if the nobles of the Chu State like Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu rebelled, they did not have such a solid mass foundation as Fusu. During the reign of Chu Kingdom, the emperor was not very good to the people of Chu, and the people did not have such deep feelings for Chu. It was only a small group of old nobles like Xiang Liang who missed Chu. As long as Fusu succeeds to the throne, the people of Chu will also be blessed by Fusu's "benevolent governance". Who will miss the Chuhuai King?
Speaking of it, Fusu is very similar to the Hanwen Emperor Liu Heng, who advocated benevolent governance and rest with the people. Looking at the achievements of Emperor Wen Wen during the reign of Han Dynasty, combined with Fusu's personality characteristics, we can roughly make the following conclusion: If Fusu is the second emperor of Qin, he can completely create his own "Wen Jingzhi" like Emperor Wen Wen. Governance", the Great Qin Empire will not disappear so quickly.
