Zhang Liang's ancestors were Koreans during the Warring States Period, Zhang Liang was born in an aristocratic family, and his grandfather Zhang Kaidi was re-elected as the prime minister of the three Korean dynasties during the Warring States period. 's father, Zhang Ping, also succeeded as the prime minister of the Second Korean Dynasty. By Zhang Liang's time, Korea had gradually declined, and the demise of Korea made Zhang Liang lose the opportunity to inherit his father's career and lose his prominent and glorious status, so he had the hatred of losing his country and family, and concentrated this hatred on one point and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Liang went to the East to meet Cang Haijun, and the two of them worked out a plan for the murder operation. His younger brother died and was not buried, Zhang Liang scattered all the family property, found a strong man, and built a sledgehammer weighing one hundred and twenty pounds for the strong man, and then Zhang Liang sent people everywhere to find out the whereabouts of Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour.

According to the regulations of the Qin Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, the Son of Heaven's vehicles had six horses, and the vehicles that Qin Shi Huang rode in were drawn by six horses, and the other ministers only had four horse-drawn carriages, so the target of Zhang Liang's assassination was the six-horse carriage. Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour, Zhang Liang soon learned the news, he knew that Qin Shi Huang's parade convoy was about to arrive in Yangwu County, so Zhang Liang commanded the Hercules to ambush in Yangwu County, Gubo Langsha.

They lay in ambush for a while, and saw from a distance a convoy of 36 chariots walking from the west towards Bolangsha, the soldiers in front of them sounded gongs to open the way, followed by the horse convoy to clear the field, the black flag honor guard walked in the front, on both sides of the convoy, there were large and small officials hugging each other.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Liang and Hercules were sure that Qin Shi Huang's convoy had arrived. However, all the vehicles in the convoy were driven by four horses, and it was impossible to tell which one was Qin Shi Huang's car. Hercules asked what to do? Zhang Liang took a closer look and saw that the car in the middle of the convoy was the most luxurious.

"Just hit the carriage, that carriage is the most luxurious, and it must be the carriage that Emperor Qin rides. ”

So Zhang Liang commanded the Hercules to shoot at the car, and the Hercules lived up to his name, he quickly turned the sledgehammer, twisted his hands, and threw the heavy sledgehammer hard, and the hammer flew straight for hundreds of feet. The 120-pound sledgehammer smashed the carriage in the middle at once, killing the rider and falling to the ground, shattering his whole body, and his death was quite miserable. The scene was chaotic, all the guards were in chaos, Zhang Liang took advantage of the chaos to get into the reeds, and they immediately fled the scene.

However, it was the auxiliary car that was hit by Hercules, Qin Shi Huang was assassinated many times, he had long been prepared for prevention, he changed all the vehicles to four horses, and he often changed the driving of the car, Zhang Liang naturally found it difficult to judge which car was Qin Shi Huang's car. Qin Shi Huang was thus spared, so he ordered a nationwide search for the murderer for ten days, but still could not catch the murderer, and then he was stopped.

Zhang Lianggu became famous in one fell swoop after assassinating the Qin Emperor in Bolangsha, but the hammer attempt on the King of Qin failed, Zhang Liang was wanted on the hanging list, and he had to hide incognito, escape and hide in the Xiapi area.

Qin Shi Huang was assassinated by Zhang Liang on this eastern tour, and the auxiliary car behind him was smashed to pieces with a heavy hammer. Subsequently, a meteorite engraved with "The First Emperor died and the land was divided" and an immortal who said "This year, the ancestral dragon died". Qin Shi Huang was very superstitious, and these phenomena made him feel very frightened and uneasy.

In order to eliminate the disaster and take refuge, Qin Shi Huang immediately sent someone to inform Xu Fu, who was looking for the elixir of life, to come back quickly, but due to the fatigue and fright all the way, Qin Shi Huang fell ill when he arrived in Pingyuanjin.

According to the "Historical Records", Qin Shi Huang had been ill since he was a child, so his physique was relatively weak, he was a man and self-serving, and he had to personally adjudicate everything in detail; he had to read 120 pounds of documents every day, and his work was extremely tiring; coupled with the high temperature of July during the parade, he became ill on the way.

He had a seizure, at first dizziness and stomach upset, then a sudden loss of consciousness, spasms of the diaphragm, a bluish complexion, dilated pupils, apnea, and then a twitch of muscles all over his body, foaming at the mouth, and finally dozens of minutes before he woke up.

"Historical Records" recorded: "The King of Qin is a bee, with long eyes, birds and birds, jackals, little grace and tiger and wolf hearts......"

Qin Shi Huang suffered from hypochondria when he was a child, and often suffered from bronchitis, so when he grew up, his chest was like that of an ostrich, and his voice was like that of a jackal, and later due to the heavy government affairs, he caused meningitis and epilepsy and other diseases. Later, when Qin Shi Huang was crossing the Yellow River, he had an epileptic seizure, and the back of his head hit the bronze ice, which aggravated the condition of meningitis, and the person was in a coma, and the group hurriedly sent Qin Shi Huang back to Xianyang.

After Qin Shi Huang fell unconscious, Zhao Gao adopted the method of persuading Hu Hai to threaten Li Si, and the three of them conspired to fake Qin Shi Huang to issue an edict and Hu Hai to inherit the throne. At the same time, in the name of Qin Shi Huang, he accused Fusu of being unfilial to his son and Meng Tian of being disloyal to his ministers, and made them commit suicide and must not disobey.

Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si ordered the convoy to travel day and night and quickly return to Xianyang. In order to continue to deceive the subjects, the convoy did not dare to return to Xianyang in a shortcut, but put on a posture of continuing to patrol, made a detour back to Xianyang, and placed Qin Shi Huang in the mausoleum.

When Qin Shi Huang first ascended the throne, more than 700,000 people began to build the imperial tomb, chiseled through three layers of groundwater, poured copper water to fill the gaps, and built palaces, set up hundreds of official positions, and placed rare treasures. Hundreds of rivers and seas are made with mercury, and the flow of rivers is simulated by machinery, the top wall is equipped with astronomical images, and the bottom is placed with geographical figures, and the fat of the baby fish is used to make long lanterns, and there are many mechanisms in the mausoleum.

Zhao Gao said to Li Si: "The eldest son Fusu is resolute and brave, and he believes in people and fights, and he will definitely appoint Meng Tian as prime minister." ”

Zhao Gao hated Meng Tian and Meng Yi to the core, so he didn't want Meng's favor, so he had to stop Fusu from taking the throne. But Qin Shi Huang favored his eldest son, Fusu, and now that he fell ill during his journey, this was really a godsend.

Li Si asked Zhao Gao to send someone to send the letter out as soon as possible, and asked Gongzi Fusu to rush back to Xianyang. Zhao Gao is Hu Hai's confidant, and he has a grudge against Meng Tian's family, he secretly discussed with Hu Hai, preparing to fake the will of Qin Shi Huang, kill Fusu, and let Hu Hai inherit the throne, of course Hu Hai couldn't ask for it, and completely agreed.

Zhao Gao knew that he had to discuss with Li Si if he wanted to do such a thing, so he went to Li Si and said: "Now that the emperor's edict and jade seal are in the hands of Hu Hai, it depends on the two of us to decide which one will take over the throne, what do you think?"

Li Si was taken aback and said, "How can you say such a thing about the destruction of the country? This is not something that we should discuss as courtiers?"

Zhao Gao said: "Don't worry, let me ask you first, is your talent comparable to Meng Tian? Is your credit comparable to Meng Tian's? Is your relationship with Fusu comparable to Meng Tian?"

Li Silen paused for a while before he said, "I'm not as good as him." ”

Zhao Gao said: "If Fusu becomes the emperor, he will definitely worship Meng Tian as the prime minister." At that time, you will have to go back to your hometown, which is a clear thing. Gongzi Hu Hai has a good heart and treats people kindly, if he becomes the emperor, you and I will be inexhaustible for the rest of my life, you should think about it. ”

After Zhao Gao coaxed and frightened him, Li Si was afraid that after letting Fusu inherit the throne, he would not be able to keep his position as prime minister, so he conspired with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai and forged an edict to Fusu, saying that he could not make meritorious contributions outside the country, but resented his father;

Fusu received this false edict and cried and wanted to commit suicide. Meng Tian suspected that this edict was forged, and asked Fusu to appeal to Qin Shi Huang, Fusu was an honest man, he said: "Since my father wants me to die, where can I appeal again?" Fusu committed suicide in this way.

When they arrived in Xianyang, they announced the death of Qin Shi Huang, held a funeral, and falsely passed on the edict of Qin Shi Huang, and Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, he was Qin II.

The second and Zhao Gao were thieves, afraid that the usurpation of the throne would leak out. Zhao Gao convicted Hu Hai of killing his brothers and ministers, condemning twelve princes and ten princesses to death, and countless ministers were condemned. A year later, Zhao Gao used trickery to instigate the second to arrest and kill the accomplice Li Si, and Zhao Gao himself became the prime minister and held the power alone.
