What events in history can be described by shooting yourself in the foot?

First, Shang Yang, as we all know, made Qin the most powerful country among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States through Shang Yang's political reform, but Shang Yang's political reform also offended the nobles of Qin and the then Prince Zhao Si. After the death of Qin Xiaogong who supported Shang Yang, Qin Huiwen succeeded to the throne, and the nobles of Qin framed Shang Yang for rebellion.

King Huiwen of Qin ordered the arrest of Shang Yang. When Shang Yang fled to the border, he wanted to stay in a hotel. The innkeeper told him that he could not stay in a hotel without his documents. If the hotel lets him stay in the hotel, he will be jointly and severally liable.

Only then did Shang Yang realize that his new law was so bad. Shang Yang couldn't stay any longer and had to leave. He wanted to go to Wei, but he had captured Wei Gongzi by deception before, so he was not allowed to enter the country. Shang Yang wants to go to other countries. Wei Bing said that since you are in Wei, we must also send you back to Qin. Finally, Shang Yang was dismembered by five horses.

Second, Qin Wuwang, if someone lifts a rock to hit his own foot, then this Qin Wuwang is lifting a tripod to hit his own foot, and finally he dies. He is also the son of Qin Huiwen mentioned earlier, and his successor is Qin Wang, the son of Empress Xuan.

Qin Wuwang has a hobby, that is, he wants to be a Hercules, and he especially likes to lift tripods. He also has three good companions, all of whom are Hercules, namely Meng Shuo, Wu Huo and Ren Bi. In 307 BC, he and Meng said in a competition to lift the tripod, but the tripod was too heavy. Qin Wuwang broke his tibia and hurt his foot. In the evening, 23-year-old Qin Wuwang passed away.

Third, Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao and Reese forged the testament of Qin Shihuang, gave it to Fu Su, the son of Qin Shihuang, committed suicide, let Hu Hai succeed to the throne, that is, Qin Ershi, and executed the Montessori brothers. Zhao Gao later killed Reese, and then killed Qin Ershi Hu Hai with her son-in-law Le Yan.

Zhao Gaoben wanted to be an emperor himself, but his ministers and military commanders did not support him. He had to settle for the second best and invited the imperial clan Ziying out. He was also narrow-minded, saying that only the State of Qin owned land now, so he didn't call himself emperor, but called it. But this Ziying is not an ordinary person.

He knows very well that Zhao Gao made him the king of Qin. This is an expedient measure. He must want to kill him and be the king of Qin himself. So he discussed with his son and eunuch Han that he was ill and could not go to the ancestral temple to meet the king of Qin. Zhao Gao had no choice but to see for himself. As a result, he was killed by eunuch Han when he went in.
