Some people call King of Qin Ziying Qin Sanshi , which is actually wrong. When Ziying became the successor to the throne, the Qin royal family had abolished Emperor number and changed it to King of Qin.
Historical Records clearly record: "The former kingdom of Qin, First Emperor monarchs the world, so he called himself emperor. Now the six kingdoms have become independent, and Qin has become smaller, so he is called the emperor by empty name. It is not possible to be a king as before, so he should be the king."
Zhao Gao took power, framed Li Si , Feng Quji and other ministers, controlled Qin Dynasty Power
Qin II After Hu Hai relied on Zhao Gao, ascended the throne of the emperor, he began to be arrogant, desolate the government, and handed over the power to Zhao Gao. A fierce conflict broke out between Zhao Gao, who was acting in the imperial power, and the courtiers led by Li Si.
Although Li Si is selfish, he is a real villain with ideals and ambitions, and he maintains the ambition to maintain the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Seeing that Qin II abandoned the government, Shandong's heroes emerged and the world was in danger.
I was also very distressed inside, hoping that Qin II, the second generation of the regent, would reorganize the might of the Qin Empire and quell the rebellion in the world. Zhao Gao provoked the relationship between Li Si and Hu Hai, and encouraged Li Si to persuade Hu Hai, give up his feelings and be diligent in political affairs.
After Li Si took the bait, Zhao Gao sent someone to notify Li Si while Hu Hai was having fun, saying that Hu Hai was idle and could go to report things and advise. Several times in a row, Li Si was hit by Hu Hai's bad luck every time, which made Hu Hai very resentful towards Li Si.
Zhao Gao took the opportunity to provoke, saying that Li Si thought he had made contributions in Sand Dune's plan and asked for a ban and conferred him the title of king. At the same time, Zhao Gao also falsely accused Li Si's son, Li You, colluded with Chen Sheng, and had the intention to rebel.
On the other hand, Zhao Gao was devoted to framing Li Si and framed Li Si. On the other hand, Li Si saw that he had failed to persuade the emperor many times, so he made up his mind and joined forces with the right prime minister Feng Quji and general Feng Jie to persuade Qin II, requesting to stop the construction of the Afang Palace, reduce the conquest of corvee and relieve the public anger in the world. The book
completely ignited the anger of Qin Ershi Hu Hai, scolding Li Si and others for being unfaithful and unfilial, and sent someone to imprison Li Si, Feng Quji and others for being punished. Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and General Feng Jie were unwilling to be humiliated and committed suicide in prison.
Li Si was scolded by Zhao Gaoqu. After Zhao Gao sent someone to force confession every day, Li Si was beaten to pieces and could not bear the torture, so he had to confess his own rebellion. Li Si was beheaded by Zhao Gao and all three tribes were killed.
What's even more ridiculous is that Zhao Gao sent people to Sanchuan County to arrest Li Si's eldest son Li You. Li You had already defended Yongqiu to death and was defeated by Liu Bang and was killed by Cao Shen . Zhao Gao had no choice but to tell Hu Hai that Li You was ordered to be rectified by the envoy on the spot.
refers to a deer as a horse, eliminate dissidents, and do whatever he wants. He is in power and does whatever he wants. He is
As early when Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao arranged his younger brother Zhao Cheng as the CRRC Mansion Order, and later became the Doctor Ling , and his son-in-law Yan Le served as the dictator of Xianyang. After Li Si and others died, Zhao Gao naturally became the prime minister. There was no one within the Qin Dynasty who could compete with Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao then began his own action to eliminate dissidents. One day when he was in court, Zhao Gao led a deer and claimed to offer a horse to Qin Ershi. Hu Hai was immediately confused. Isn't this a deer? How can it be said to be a horse?
Zhao Gao then asked the ministers around him to answer whether it was a deer or a horse. Some were afraid of Zhao Gao and some were good at flattering Zhao Gao, and some were called a horse, and some were slow to react. Those who couldn't figure out Zhao Gao's intentions said it was a horse.
The answers of the ministers completely confused Hu Hai, thinking about whether he had hit the gods. He was dazzled, so he asked the Taipu to divine. The Taipu was afraid of Zhao Gao and said that Qin Ershi did not fast and bath during the sacrifice. So Qin Ershi followed Zhao Gao's arrangement and hid in Shanglinyuan to play.
As soon as Qin Ershi left, Zhao Gao began to eliminate dissidents in the court, framed all the court officials who said Lu to death. At this point, Zhao Gao's authority in the court even surpassed Qin Ershi Hu Hai.
Wangyi Palace Changes, Zhao Gao murdered Qin II and appointed Gongziying as King of Qin
Zhang Han led the Guanzhong prison army out of the pass to suppress the rebellion, sweeping all kinds of rebels. There were originally many situations of quelling the rebels. In the Battle of Julu, Wang Li was defeated and captured. Zhang Han was worried about being framed and surrendered to him. The Qin Dynasty was immediately on the verge of destruction.
Learning that the rebellion in the world could not be suppressed, Qin Ershi Hu Hai was anxious and sent someone to question Zhao Gao, wasn’t it said that the rebellion in Guandong is not scary? Why did it reach this point? Zhao Gao was worried that he would be vented by Qin Ershi and he would be killed, so he planned to kill Qin Ershi.
"Records of the Grand Historian - The Basic Annals of Qin Shihuang" records: Gao was afraid, so he and his son-in-law Xianyang ordered Yan Le and his brother Zhao Cheng to say, "The emperor did not listen to the advice. Now the matter is urgent, and he wants to return to the disaster to our clan. I want to make it easier for the superiors to establish Gongzi Ying. Ziying is kind and frugal, and the people all carry his words."
Zhao Gao conspired with Zhao Cheng and Yan Le, and Yan Le led people to pretend to be a rebel army to cause disaster to Xianyang. Then Yan Le personally led more than a thousand people to attack Wangyi Palace . Hu Hai was forced to ask Zhao Cheng and Yan Le to let him live, but the two refused, and Hu Hai was forced to draw his sword and commit suicide.
After Hu Hai's death, Zhao Gao rebelled in Guandong. The land of the six kingdoms no longer belonged to the Qin Dynasty. The land of the Qin Dynasty was reduced, the emperor's title of Qin Emperor abolished and Gongziying was changed to the King of Qin.
Zhao Gao asked Ziying to fast for five days and succeed the position of King Qin in Taimiao. However, Ziying witnessed Zhao Gao's various atrocities and knew that Zhao Gao was just a puppet, and in the future he was just a bargaining chip for Zhao Gao to negotiate with Chu State.
Ziying discussed with her two sons that she said she was sick and would not go to Taimiao. Zhao Gao sent envoys to invite Ziying many times, but Ziying did not go. Zhao Gao had no choice but to come and invite him himself. Ziying waited until Zhao Gao came to the palace where Faijie, and then pronounced Zhao Gao's crimes and killed the three tribes of Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao killed Qin Ershi for a sudden attack, and Ziying killed Zhao Gao for a mentally accused and unintentional assassination. The nature is basically the same, not a confrontation of strength
First of all, from the process of Zhao Gao launching a coup to force Hu Hai to death, we can see that the reason why Zhao Gao murdered Hu Hai was because he was worried that Hu Hai would attribute the reason for the defeat of the Qin army to him, so he launched a sudden attack with the doctor Zhao Cheng and Xianyang ordered Yan Le to kill Qin Ershi.
Zhao Gao's behavior reflects two problems. First, if Qin II wanted to kill Zhao Gao, it could be done, and it would be difficult for Zhao Gao to resist. Second, Zhao Gao's power could not be spread throughout the Qin Palace. He could only rely on Yan Le's Xianyang Prefecture's troops to raid the Wangyi Palace and kill Hu Hai.
This fully shows that although Qin II ignored the government affairs, the majesty of the Qin Emperor was still there. In time, Zhao Gao could point out the deer as a horse, and both left and right were close friends. Qin II could also send people to kill Zhao Gao. It can be seen that the garrison troops in the Qin Palace and Xianyang were still in the hands of the Qin Emperor.
After Hu Hai's death, Qin Prince Ziying succeeded to the throne as King of Qin, and correspondingly obtained the power that originally belonged to Hu Hai. Of course, if Ziying was upright and wanted to send troops to kill Zhao Gao, it could be done.
However, it is inevitable that Zhao Gao's gangsters in the court will fight back. For example, Zhao Cheng, the doctor's order, and Yan Le, the Xianyang order, both control some of the troops in Xianyang and fight back. The Qin Prince Ying, who had just succeeded to the throne, needs to waste a lot of energy to pacify him.
Therefore, Qin Prince Ziying chose a shortcut and directly assassinated Zhao Gao. In the Zhai Palace, Zhao Gao's guards were not around and quickly stabbed Zhao Gao to death. In this way, Zhao Gao's party members fell and scattered, and Ziying could destroy the Zhao Gao clan with the power of the King of Qin.
Ziying's method was actually a means used by many emperors in ancient times to deal with powerful ministers with shallow foundations. Because the emperor occupied the righteousness and executed the powerful ministers, the forces united around the powerful ministers could be divided and disintegrated and the authority of the emperor could be re-established.
This method is The Eastern Han Dynasty and The Tang Dynasty were used by many emperors who successfully seized power from powerful officials and officials. Of course, there are many examples of failure, such as Lu Bu assassinating Dong Zhuo . Because of Wang Yun 's stupidity, the Western Liang mutiny was caused, and the essence was the incompetence of Emperor Xian.
Zhao Gao disrupted the dictatorship and attacked and killed Qin Ershi Hu Hai. Is his purpose of usurping the throne or revenge?
From ancient times to the present, there is a saying that Zhao Gao is the son of Zhao State , so he caused trouble in the Qin Dynasty with the purpose of revenge. In fact, this statement is really a bit far-fetched. Zhao Gao's identity is probably not that noble.
"Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Meng Tian" says: "Zhao Gao is the subordinate of all Zhao Shu. Zhao Gaokun's brothers were born in the Hidden Palace. His mother was punished and was humble for generations."
Qin and Zhao countries came from the Zhao clan of Ying, but the Zhao clan of Ying was not all royal families of the two countries! From the records of Taishigong , it can be concluded that Zhao Gao did come from the Zhao clan of the Ying clan, but his family has been very far away from the Qin royal family and the Zhao royal family.
Zhao Gao's brothers were all born in the Hidden Palace of Qin . It should be the place where Qin State dealt with female prisoners with some identity. Zhao Gao's mother was sentenced and the era was humble. It should be that his ancestors had committed a serious crime.
Let me ask how Zhao Gao, who was born in Qin State since childhood and suffered and enslaved, knew how his descendants of Zhao State and what feelings did he have for Zhao State? Where did the saying of revenge come from!
It may be that Zhao Gao suffered in Qin since he was a child, so he felt a little resentful and resented the Qin royal family. So after he took power, he began to take revenge on the Qin royal family members.
After Zhao Gao eliminated Li Si, he took over the power and killed the court officials who disobeyed him by pointing out the deer as a horse. At this time, Zhao Gao's goal in his heart might still be to regard Qin Ershi as a puppet and act as a mighty man.
Until the rebellion of Guandong was out of control, and he was worried that he would be executed by Qin II. At this time, Liu Bang broke through Wuguan and sent someone to contact Zhao Gao, asking Zhao Gao as an insider. At this time, Zhao Gao should have the idea of seeking power and usurping the throne.
However, in order to increase the bargaining chips and obtain more favorable negotiation conditions, Zhao Gao supported Ziying to succeed to the throne and become the person behind the scenes. Therefore, Ziying said: "I heard that Zhao Gao made an appointment with Chu to destroy the Qin clan and king Guanzhong."
If Zhao Gao had the idea of planning to usurp the throne from the beginning, this was completely inconsistent with his behavior. Since ancient times, those who wanted to usurp the throne were undermined by the emperor, and on the other hand, they formed ministers outside, such as Wang Mang usurped the Han , it seemed that Zhao Gao did not do any of them.
Zhao Gao is a clever person with no big ambitions. His purpose is to be a powerful minister, and he made Qin shaky. Seeing that the Qin Empire was about to enter the grave, what could he have to usurp the cemetery of Qin II? Liu Bang entered the pass, he would not be so stupid that he could not see the situation clearly.
