The fulfillment of the prophecy that "the death of Qin is the death of Hu"

In 22 1 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China and established the first unified feudal dynasty-Qin Dynasty. In order to commemorate his great achievements, Qin Shihuang called himself emperor. Because he was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he was the "first emperor", and future generations will continue to be called II, III, and even forever, so that the imperial industry of the Qin Dynasty can continue from generation to generation. However, Qin Shihuang did not expect that his wish was not realized. The Qin dynasty didn't pass on for generations. On the contrary, after only fifteen years, he "died in II". It all started with a mysterious prophecy. The easiest way for Qin Shihuang to make his dynasty last forever is to live forever. So since he became king, he has been very fond of alchemists and asked them to find their own pills everywhere. One of them, Lu Sheng, went to Penglai three islands to look for it. As a result, he did not find the elixir of life, but found a stone tablet engraved with four big characters, "Hu died in Qin." Penglai Island has always been regarded as a haunt of immortals. Therefore, although no elixir of life has been found, the words on this stone tablet also mean immortal, which means the life and death of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang naturally dare not neglect. Moreover, the immortal made it very clear that "the death of Qin is Hu", that is to say, the Qin Dynasty will perish on this "Hu". Now, the crux of the problem is, what does this "Hu" mean? At that time, the six countries were destroyed and the whole country was unified. Only the Huns in the north can be enemies of Qin Jun on the battlefield. Xiongnu, also known as conference semifinals. Therefore, Qin Shihuang took it for granted that this "Hu" must refer to the Huns. So he sent Meng Tian, a general, to lead a 300,000-strong northern expedition to Xiongnu. Meng Tian led the army to recover large areas of lost land and drove the Huns far away. Then, Qin Shihuang built the world-famous Great Wall of Wan Li as a border barrier to stop the Huns from invading the south. After all this, Qin Shihuang greatly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that with such double insurance, the Huns would not dare to invade the border again. The great threat of "Qin's death" has been lifted, and you can rest easy in the future. Qin Shihuang, who was very at ease, began a large-scale cruise. During his reign, he traveled all over China, observed local customs, declared the majesty of the emperor, and asked for a fairy visit. Qin Shihuang didn't stop working during the tour, so his important officials, such as Prime Minister Reese, followed him. 2 10 years ago, when Qin Shihuang planned to make another tour, his youngest son Hu Hai asked to accompany him. Qin Shihuang always loved this son and agreed. However, no one expected that this would be the last cruise of the first emperor. The parade marched to the plain of Tianjin (now near the Shandong Plain). Qin Shihuang fell ill, and his condition became more and more serious along the way, so he had to order to stop the parade and return to the capital Xianyang. Qin Shihuang has not yet established a prince. But because he wants to live forever, he is very taboo about the word "death", so ministers are afraid to ask this question in front of him. However, as his illness became more and more serious, Qin Shihuang himself realized that his future was numbered, so he left a testament to let Fu Su, the eldest son stationed in northern Xinjiang, take the throne. In July, the parade marched to the sand dune platform (now northwest of Guangzong, Hebei Province), and Qin Shihuang died. When Prime Minister Reese saw that the emperor died on the parade, he was afraid of chaos in the world, so he put the body in the car and arranged everything the same as when Qin Shihuang was alive. However, due to the hot weather and long time, Qin Shihuang's body began to stink. So, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, Reese ordered a lot of abalone to be put in the car, and the smell of the body was mixed with the smell of abalone, which made people unable to tell. In this way, the news of Qin Shihuang's death was concealed until he arrived in Xianyang. Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses, "King Qin sweeps Liuhe and looks at He Xiongzai", the omnipotent monarch who commanded the world before his death, may not have thought that there will be a car full of smelly abalone after his death. However, what surprised him even more was that the testamentary edict was tampered with after his death. After the death of Qin Shihuang, the testamentary edict was left in the hands of Zhao Gao, the minister's administrative officer, before it could be handed over to the emissary. Zhao Gao read the testamentary edict and learned that Qin Shihuang was going to abdicate to his son Fu Su, who was stationed on the northern border with general Meng Tian. Fu Su and Meng Tian have always had a good relationship, but Meng Tian hates Zhao Gao very much. Once Zhao Gao committed a crime and was almost killed by his brother Meng Ke. Zhao Gao thought that once Fu Su acceded to the throne as emperor, Meng Tian would be highly valued, and by that time, there would be no good fruit for himself. Zhao Gao himself was the teacher of Hu Hai, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang. At this time, Hu Hai was the only son who followed Qin Shihuang. Thus, a bold plan formed in Zhao Gao's mind. Zhao Gao first went to see Hu Hai and said to him, "When the emperor died, he left his son Fu Su with a seal. When Fu Su arrived in Xianyang, he became emperor, and you got nothing. What should I do? " At this time, Hu Hai was just in his twenties, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang. He didn't want to be an emperor, so he said, "Yes, that's the will of the emperor. Since the emperor made Fu Su reign, what can I do? " Zhao Gao further persuaded, "That's different. Now the power in the world is in the hands of childe, Zhao Gao, me and the Prime Minister. Son, why don't you think about it? How can you rule others and be ruled by others? " Hu Hai was a little touched, but he still had some moral concerns at this time, so he said, "It is wrong to depose my brother and make my younger brother emperor. It is also unfilial to disobey the father's will. I have no talent, but relying on the strength of others always makes people laugh. The world is dissatisfied, and its own survival is a problem. I am afraid that the national society will also be in danger. " So, Zhao Gao gave him a political lesson seriously: "I heard that saints like Tang Wu killed their master, but everyone in the world thought they did the right thing, and no one said they were unfaithful;" Wang Wei killed his cruel father, and wei ren appreciated his kindness. Even Confucius praised him and didn't think he was unfilial. People who do great things should not be confined to trivial matters and should not be above modesty and comity. If you only see small virtues and forget big responsibilities, you will definitely suffer in the future. Make a decisive decision, and even ghosts and gods will bless you. You should think about it, son. "After Zhao Gao's bewitch, Hu Hai finally moved the idea of usurping the throne. However, the coup cannot be achieved by their own efforts. They had to win the support of Prime Minister Reese, so Zhao Gao tried to persuade Reese. Zhao Gao told his plan to Reese, who flatly refused, thinking that this was not something that a person and a minister should do. So Zhao Gao said unhurriedly, "You'd better reconsider this matter. In North Korea, can your contribution compare with that of Meng Tian? Can your prestige and strategy compare with that of Meng Tian? Can Fu Su trust you as deeply as Meng Tian? If Fu Su ascended the throne, then the position of Prime Minister must be Montaigne's, and there will be no position for you. The best thing for you is to retire to your hometown with the seal of Tong Hou, or you will lose your head. You'd better think clearly that your destiny is in your own hands. It's up to you to choose whether to enjoy the glory forever or to be different. "
