is this person, he destroyed an empire
The origin of Chinese history is deep and far enough, not only in the Han and Wei and Six Dynasties, but not only in the Tang and Five Dynasties, but the most It is the short-lived Great Qin Empire that talks about it. What kind of momentum was Qin Shihuang's annexation of six countries and unification of the four seas, but it was not passed down to the second generation. Is it really the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty that caused the heroes to come together and perish? ——No! The truth is unbelievable: a dignified empire was destroyed by one person, whose name is "Zhao Gao". You may not believe it if you rank and judge; don't worry, listen to me slowly.
History of Zhao Gao, the cause of shame
One, Zhao Gao's life experience
Zhao Gao, win Last name, Zhao. The surname of Qin and the above is separated from the surname. Men use surnames and women use surnames, so it is called Zhao Gao, not because of winning Gao. Perhaps I read this way and many people are incomprehensible. Need to go deeper. However, Zhao Gao's life experience is a bit complicated and controversial. There are few historical records of Zhao Gao's life experience, which is difficult to verify. According to the "Historical Biography of Mengtian": "Zhao Gao is a member of Zhao Gao's family, Zhao Gao... has several younger brothers, all of whom are born in the palace, and his mother has been punished, and the world is humble."
It is said that Zhao Gao is also Qin Shihuang His distant relatives, this statement comes from "Historical Records • Qin Benji". However, the Zhao clan is the same clan of the Qin royal family, what kind of clan connection Zhao and Qin are;
Second, from the palace into the Qin
As for why he had to destroy Da Qin by himself, there is a saying-according to "Records of the Historian":
"It is said that the sons of Gaoben Zhao, who pained his country for the destruction of Qin, vowed to avenge, he entered from the palace, died to kill the descendants of Qin and perished his world."
In the introduction, it means that : Zhao Gao and Zhao's sons were originally the sons of Zhao State. Because their own country was destroyed by Qin State, they held a grudge. In order to avenge Zhao Gao, he did not hesitate to maimed his own body from the palace and entered the Qin Palace to confuse the inner court of the Qin Dynasty. Infighting in the Qin dynasty was triggered, and the Qin dynasty clan was killed afterwards, which led to the collapse of the Qin dynasty.
He ruined an empire
As mentioned above, whether Zhao Gaoxue’s revenge is consistent with historical facts and has some credibility. It’s really hard to say. The historical records seem to be well-founded. However, the public said that the public is reasonable, and the mother said that the mother is reasonable. It seems that there is no credibility in general. In short, for Zhao Gao: both positive and negative evaluations Is vague. If I say it is all subjective assumptions. However, it is beyond doubt that Zhao Gao, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, did kill the Qin Dynasty in one hand.
Zhao Gao is knowledgeable, eloquent, and proficient in law, and won the appreciation of Qin Shihuang:
Although Zhao Gao is an eunuch, he is capable of doing things and is well versed in criminal law. He was smart in nature, and he was also good at observing, and he was able to greet and flatter him. He soon won the appreciation and trust of Qin Shihuang, and soon he was promoted to the order of the CRRC, and asked his youngest son Hu Hai to learn the law and trial with him. Judgment case. It was a piece of cake to gain Hu Hai's trust with Zhao Gao's knowledge, treacherousness and shrewdness, so he easily won Hu Hai's love.
As the saying goes: "I'm smart, I'm confused for a while." No matter how savvy and shrewd, if you lack experience and start to be arrogant, you will surely fall into trouble. Just as Zhao Gao was so proud, he accidentally committed a serious crime. After Shihuang sent Meng Yi to conduct a thorough investigation, the evidence of the crime was conclusive. He was supposed to be executed in accordance with the law. Qin Shihuang thought he was diligent and allowed Zhao Gao to argue. Zhao Gao knew the law in the first place. In addition, Qin Shihuang exonerated him from the death penalty. The official resumed his post soon afterwards.
One, Zhao Gao has the right to do so
1. Zhao Gao's commentary for the dead emperor
Qin Shihuang suffered a serious illness during his fifth tour. Shihuang was the most taboo from talking about the word "death", so no one in the group dared to mention the word "death". Zou asked Shi Huang to make arrangements in advance. Until he was critically ill, Shi Huang decided on the prince, and ordered Zhao Gao, who is also in charge of talisman affairs, to write an edict to Fusu, the eldest son, to participate in the funeral process. Xianyang was buried.
After the edict was written, Zhao Gao sealed it up without authorization, and did not send an envoy. (Autumn 210 BC, July 20), the first emperor died on the platform of Sand Dune Palace. Prime Minister Li Si was afraid that the emperor's death during his patrol would cause changes in the world, and he was even more afraid that the princes would compete for the throne and cause civil unrest, so he placed the coffin in a thermostable chariot. In the same way that Qin Shihuang was patrolling when he was alive, he was accompanied by a favored eunuch. Wherever he passed, the daily meal arrangements for Shihuang were still the same. Zhao Gaofan took the opportunity to take the opportunity to replace the dead Shi Huang while driving, accepting and approving the incident. Only a few people, such as Hu Hai and the favored eunuch, knew the inside story.
2, tampering with the edict
Zhao Gao took the initiative, and after conspiring with Hu Hai, he cleverly tricked Li Si into conspiracy, and said to Li Si: "The edict given to Fusu by the emperor Hu Hai and Fu Xi have been detained by Hu Hai, it is better to send a favor, anyway, they are the sons of the emperor, whoever is the prince is the same, just make Hu Hai the prince. As long as you say something, the matter will be settled."
李斯Said: "How can this be? As a minister, how can I personally change the edict? If the prince is changed, how can the prince Fusu respond?" Li Si said! Zhao Gao judged from his words that Li Si was already heart-warming, he struck the iron while it was hot, and then flattered Li Si and said: "With your talents, strategy, merit, popularity and prestige, as long as you speak to the prince Fusu, he will be convinced, and other ministers will not. Objection! Then he said: If Fusu ascends the throne of the emperor, he will definitely make his most trusted Meng Tian as prime minister. Then you can only stand aside, whichever is more important, you can do it carefully!"
Li Si felt that what Zhao Gao said was reasonable, so according to Zhao Gao's suggestion, the three of them conspired to tamper with the edict—"the emperor falsely claimed that Fusu was killed by the first emperor's will, and Hu Hai was established as the prince"—the edict to Fusu said: "The prince did not open up the frontiers and expand the territory, did not create merits, supervised the army's frontier affairs, which caused serious casualties to the sergeants, and repeatedly wrote a letter to slander the father. He was appointed the benevolent and loyal prince Hu Hai as the prince. At the same time, he ordered to help Su and Meng Tian committed suicide to thank the emperor. The army and military affairs were handed over to the lieutenant Wang Li.”
3. After the death of
Fusu, Zhao Gao got his wish and allowed the incompetent prince to be promoted to the prince. After driving back to Xianyang, he issued a funeral announcement and immediately held an unprecedented grand funeral for Qin Shihuang. He also helped Hu Hai ascended to the throne of Emperor Qin II. Naturally, Zhao Gao became the actual decision maker of the Qin Empire, and Qin II was just a puppet emperor.
Second, the destruction of the empire
1, in addition to the differences, kill Zhongliang
After Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao, in order to firmly control Hu Hai, Encouraging him to spend his extravagant desires, and to have fun in time, he was asked to follow Qin Shihuang's patrol. However, Hu Hai’s patrol was not to inspect the people’s sentiments, but to borrow to patrol everywhere. This was Zhao Gao’s idea to persuade Hu Hai to have fun and enjoy during his lifetime. Imperial privileges.
When Hu Hai was having fun, Zhao Gao took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty is now rich in the world. Although you can enjoy the joys of the world, there are hidden dangers that must be eliminated." Hu Hai heard Zhao Gao's mention of hidden dangers, and his heart felt a little After a while, he naturally understood what Zhao Gao meant by hidden dangers-his position as emperor came from cheating, and there were many insiders in the court. If it was leaked, the situation would be out of control. This was the hidden worry in Hu Hai's heart.
However, Zhao Gao is more anxious, this secret is revealed, "I will die without a place to bury my life", so when the second is happy, he tells the unpleasant things, this It’s Zhao Gao’s wisdomJi told his plan, and Zhao Gao said: To get rid of insiders, they must secretly collect the speeches of these people, organize them into materials, add charges of defamation and conspiracy to rebel one by one, and then condemn them. At the same time, the cronies of the Crown Prince Fusu in the court were also eliminated.
After hearing Zhao Gao’s proposal, Hu Hai was very happy, and authorized Zhao Gao to take full responsibility. Zhao Gaosheng had the power to kill and began to frame the framing. First of all, he took repeated achievements and was also the most hated Meng Tian, the two brothers Meng Yi. Take the knife, Meng Tian, and Meng Yi know that this is Zhao Gao colluding with the second world to destroy his brother, so there is nothing wrong with it! In order not to be insulted, he swallowed the medicine and killed himself.
The Montes brothers have been eliminated, and the rest are members of the royal family. Then Zhao Gao killed 12 Huhai brothers and crushed 10 princesses. It was truly tragic!
In this way, Zhao Gao took the opportunity to kill batch after batch of strangers, but Hu Hai allowed Zhao Gao to come, just for pleasure.
Zhao Gao kills more people, and the more people fear him, naturally his power will become greater and greater. The emperor's power of life and death is controlled by him. Who dares not accept him.
In the end, Zhao Gao didn't even let Li Si, the prime minister, at this time Li Si became a lamb to be slaughtered. The position of the prime minister above ten thousand people was in vain and no real power. After Li Si was condemned, the Great Qin Empire had been ruined by Zhao Gao.
2, referring to the deer as a horse to test the group of officials
Zhao Gao has already taken over the power of the DPRK at this time. In order to test whether the group of officials are afraid of him and convince him, he brought a deer to test the group. minister. He dedicated the deer to King II and said: "A gift is given to the emperor." When King II saw it was a deer, he smiled and said, "Aiqing got it wrong! This is a horse!" Seeing Zhao Gao silently, The second king asked the ministers on the left and right, most of the courtiers chose not to speak because they were frightened by Zhao Gao's lewd prestige. A few people followed Zhao Gao and said it was a horse, and a few others who could not be used to it told the truth that it was a deer. However, in order to avoid misfortune, these ministers left the court for illness and ignored the affairs of the court ever since.
3, to force the death II
What Zhao Gao did, not only was he mad, but he also lost his conscience, torn the Great Qin Empire to pieces, causing the world to chaos, he panicked, and began to plan. All the atrocities committed by him are pushed to King II. To implement this plan, he must kill Qin Ershi Hu Hai, because as long as Qin II lives, he is in danger. After all, he is an emperor, and all these powers are It was obtained by flicking him, and maybe one day when the second world wakes up, everything will be over. Not only will there be no whole body and the three clans, but also the eternal infamy. As long as the second generation dies, not only will he get rid of the danger, but he can also push all his sins to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Da Qin.
The first step for Zhao Gao to implement the plan was to spread rumors in the palace, falsely claiming that a thieves entered the palace, and instructed Yan Le to pretend to chase the thieves, but in fact he entered the palace to kill the second king. Yan Le led more than 1,000 personal soldiers, broke through layers of guards and entered the Palace of the Second King, killing the guards around the Second King. The Second King said that he wanted to see the Prime Minister. Yan Le said: "I am here to punish the Prime Minister. Kill you, arrogant and indulgence, indiscriminately killing innocent monarchs, how can the prime minister meet you? What he wants to see is your corpse, I think you are the current emperor, how to die by yourself." Yan Le finished, the second world only After saying that everyone in the world betrayed Lianhe, then he committed suicide in despair.
Later, the Great Qin Empire was divided by the Rebels and the princes, and the Qin State was left with the pre-unification site. So Zhao Gaoli Ziying was the King of Qin, and later Ziying designed to kill Zhao Gao.
Since then, Da Qin has completely collapsed, and soon afterwards perished——Zhao Gao: Destroyer of the Da Qin Empire, the destructive power of one person is so great that it is unimaginable
After the demise of the Qin Dynasty , Not even a corner of the eaves is left, it can be called a smoke extinguished
小總
The Great Qin Empire was completely destroyed by the hands of Zhao Gao, Qin Shihuang thought The emperor's career, which has been passed down for generations, was not passed down to the second generation. He was sold by someone he admired. After Qin Shihuang's death, Zhao Gao cleverly deceived the prime minister Li Si to forge the edict, forcing the prince to help Su commit suicide, and the youngest son Hu Hai became the emperor. He has the power to dominate, he acts as a magistrate, forms a party for private purposesHe hijacked the government, and later designed to kill Li Si, and served as the prime minister himself. In the third year, he forced Qin II to commit suicide and set up Ziying as King Qin. Finally, he was killed by Ziying, and the tribe of Yi was killed. Soon the Qin Dynasty followed suit.
