In June 333, Shi Le was seriously ill, Shi Hu entered the palace guards, took the opportunity to control the palace, pretended to be an edict, and the ministers and relatives were not allowed to enter, except for Shi Hu, no one knew about Shi Le's illness.

This is a dangerous signal, and Shi Hu, who can't wait, has already taken control of everything without waiting for "after the Lord is on the driver", including Shi Le, who is seriously ill.

On August 17, 333 A.D., Shi Le died of illness, Emperor Zhenming, and the temple name was Gaozu. The crown prince Shi Hong is the emperor, and the king of Zhongshan, Shi Hu, is the auxiliary government.

The will left by Shi Le said, "Brother Shi Hong, you should support each other well, and the Sima clan is a lesson for you." Shihu, the king of Zhongshan, should deeply remember Zhou Gong and Huo Guang, and do not leave a truth for future generations. The dying of a person is more of an encouragement to the children and grandchildren of future generations, and Shi Le's fist is expected to be perfectly interpreted in the above two sentences. It's just that if Izumishita had known, what happened later would have disappointed him very much.

I believe that this will is true, and the so-called "deep remembrance" can also be understood as never to, never do things to usurp the throne and kill the king. Perhaps, Shi Le had sensed Shi Hu's disobedience before he died, but at that time, he was helpless.

Obviously, Shi Hu did not deeply remember Zhou Gong and Huo Guang. It should be said that the ambition is not here, and it should be Wang Mang, Cao Pi and Sima Yan who make him think deeply. The day after Shi Le's death, Shi Hu usurped the Later Zhao regime, overthrowing and controlling Shi Hong. As for whether to leave a pretext for future generations, compared to the extremely inflated desire for power, Shi Hu really doesn't care.

As the saying goes: Lao Tzu is a hero. As the son of a generation of heroes Shi Le, what kind of person is Shi Hong? Why is it so easy to be controlled by Shi Hu?

Shi Hong, the word Daya, the second son of Emperor Shi Le of the Later Zhao Ming Dynasty. Young and filial, respectful, modest and disciplined. In our modern society full of discipline, a gentleman like Shi Hong must be regarded as a gentleman, and it is not surprising that the good boy Shi Hong will have a good future.

It's a pity that he was born in troubled times.

Between the loss of not being educated, Shi Le made great efforts to Shi Hong's education. First learn poetry and law, and then teach the art of war and swordsmanship. Shi Hong learned very well, especially poetry, and even Shi Le said that Daya and Yue were quiet, not like "Jiangjiazi". If you learn your homework too well, you will become a docile and elegant cultural person, very literate, not like a general-oriented tiger who has been trained by the military revolution.

Shi Hong once led troops to guard Yecheng (replacing Shi Hu). However, under the care of many generals, it is unknown how many days Shi Hong can spend in the barracks.

But there is no doubt that after the establishment of Shile in a hundred battles, Shi Hong was an excellent ruler of success. Quiet and inactive rest with the people, the court guarded the orders of the first king, and abolished the disaster of the military revolution. A few years later, there will be a powerful and wealthy Later Zhao regime on the north bank of the Huai River. The people of the war-torn North need to recuperate.

In fact, things are also developing like this, but with Shi Hu, countless military exploits have fueled his ambition. The military power is in his hands, and Shi Hu, who kills people like hemp, can do anything.

Didn't anyone notice? Yes, but Schler liked him. After all, today's Shihu is no longer the little villain who can only shoot people everywhere with a slingshot. Isn't it still "deterrent and respectful, serious love"!

The minister Xu Guang once told Shi Le: "The crown prince is benevolent, filial and gentle, and the king of Zhongshan is violent and deceitful. ”

Shi Hong's uncle Cheng Yao also persuaded Shi Le to get rid of Shi Hu as soon as possible: "The king of Zhongshan is brave and powerful, and there is no one among the ministers." Looking at his ambition, from outside His Majesty, he regarded it as contemptuous. He has been conscripted for a long time, and he is powerful inside and outside, and he is unkind and cruel and scoundrel. His sons grew up together, and they all had the right to advance the army. Your Majesty is here, and there should be no other, and I am afraid that he will not be able to assist the young master. It is advisable to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as to plan the big picture. "In short, today's stone tiger is still the ancient Wei Yan, the stone is strangled, and the stone tiger will be reversed.

It's a pity that today's Shile is not the ancient Kongming. Shi Le didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the stone tiger who bowed down in front of him would rebel, he didn't believe that the stone tiger he raised and cultivated would kill his children and grandchildren. He replied like this: "When the day is undecided, the war is not endless, Daya is weak and weak, and the order is strong to complement Zuo Daya." Shi Hu's heroes, pro-alliances such as Lu and Wei, are about to entrust Yi and Huo with important tasks, how can it be as you said. I'm afraid that he won't be able to abuse the power of the emperor's uncle in the future! I should also be a senator to take care of my life, and don't be afraid. ”

We can ignore all the exhortations after that, and Cheng Yao even brought out the allusions of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, which did not shake Shi Le's determination to let Shi Hu assist the government.

This is a dead admonition, don't think about it, the person who made this kind of exhortation is Shi Hu's mortal enemy, even if it wasn't in the past, it will be from now on. Once Shi Hu gains power, what awaits them will be to wipe out their families and never recover. It's a pity that Cheng Yao, Xu Guangzhi and others rely on their mouths to eat, and they lack the courage and courage to make this kind of advice.

Schler also had his own considerations.

The art of the emperor is actually the art of balancing power, and what Shile wants to do is not to completely reverse to one side, but to make it possible to restrain each other in the distribution of power to achieve a balance between them. Shi Hu is certainly unreliable, but can't Cheng Yao become the commander of the Xiongnu Han State? Only by letting them restrain each other can Hou Zhao's country be safe and sound. Who do you believe? No one dared to believe it, no one could believe it.

It's just that the development of things later was too far from Shi Le's expectations, Shi Hu was too strong, and Cheng Yao turned out to be a vulnerable rookie.

On August 18, 333, the day after Shi Le's death, Shi Hu took control of Shi Hong by force, forcing Shi Hong to order the arrest of Cheng Yao and Xu Guang.

At that time, Shi Hong had not yet ascended the throne. Shi Hong, who is humble and elegant, is paralyzed in front of the steel knife and insists on giving way to Shi Hu. This made Shi Hu, who was in power and had already controlled the entire Zhao Kingdom, very angry: "The king dies and the prince ascends the throne, how dare I break the law and discipline!" If the son of the world is not competent, the world has its own discussions, how can it be judged in advance! Under the persecution of Shi Hu, Shi Hong ascended to the throne

What does it mean that "if the son of the world is incompetent, the world has its own discussions"? These are all words with deep meaning, whether he is competent or not is not a matter for Shi Hu to have the final say, when Shi Hu wants to be the emperor, it is naturally a helpless choice made by Shi Hong who is not qualified for the profession of "emperor".

The people who want to be the emperor are not good people, and the crown prince who does not want to be the emperor is not a good prince. But he didn't think that the crown prince Shi Hong was forced to become the emperor, and he was vaguely told to abdicate before he ascended the throne. What is the rationale for this? Without it, Shi Hu wanted to play a trick that wanted to capture and indulge, and make a small foreshadowing for the subsequent usurpation, so as to block Youyou's mouth.

Good life or miserable? Shi Hong was uneasy, his belly full of scripture and history subsets and swordsmanship could not compare to the reality of a blood-dripping steel knife on his head and neck. Ants still steal life, let alone people! Shi Hong, whose life is threatened, would rather abandon all his talents and status in exchange for a living, and a puppet is better than a skeleton.

Shi Hong, who has read Chinese poetry and books, is a man after all, and he will not understand the true meaning of "the death of the king" in his bones. In fact, even if you understand it, there is a long way to go.

The first edict issued by Shi Hong, who ascended to the throne: Kill Cheng Yao and Xu Guang. Of course, it was caused by Shi Hu's persecution, and Shi Hong at this moment was as weak as a chicken. Whatever Shi Hu wants him to do, he has to do. Killing one or two ministers is not trivial.

Shi Hu, who has not won the position of Da Shan Yu for more than ten years of conquest and meritorious service, has finally gotten his wish, of course, Da Shan Yu is not his only title, Prime Minister, King of Wei, Da Shan Yu, plus Jiu Xi, with Wei County and other thirteen counties as food, commanding hundreds of officials. Controlling an army of 100,000, Shi Hu is just a dog, and he has to bite whoever Shi Le asks him to bite, and it is possible that the rabbit will die at any time. After controlling Shi Hong, Shi Hu became a wolf, no, Shi Hu became a real tiger, a tiger who can eat whoever he wants, whether you are a commoner or a princely general, even if it is an emperor, don't you hold it in the palm of his hand? His palms were trembling.

As for Shiler? There is no doubt that Shi Hong can't be the master, and everything must be arranged by Shi Hu. The prestige of Shi Le, the founder of Later Zhao, was incomparable, and although he turned into a corpse, he still had a strong appeal, enough to make Shi Hu fearful.

Then the world will never find him, no funeral, no sacrifice, Shi Hu buried his dear Uncle Shile in a deep valley that does not see the light of day, it is said that that place is called the Trapped Dragon in Feng Shui, and the place that will never be reborn. Only the retinue who buried him made his burial goods.

This is the end of Schler's story.

In addition to the throne, Shi Hu robbed him of everything he could, Shi Le's chariots, horses, treasures, daily necessities, the women in Shi Le's palace, the prince's palace, and all the positions in the key departments of the court. All of them, completely owned by themselves.

Not everyone is submissive, such as Shile's sons, such as Shile's wife. Once, after Le Zhun usurped the power of the Xiongnu Liu, there were also people who objected, at that time it was Liu Yao and Shi Le, their crusading army won a hundred battles, and quickly destroyed Le Zhun who started with a woman under the attack of two ways.

And now, it's the sons of Shile.

The action against Shi Hu's usurpation of power was carried out vigorously, but their opponent was too strong, and Shi Hu, who was killed in the sea of swords and swords, corpses and blood, was experienced and vicious. Shi Le's sons such as Shi Sheng and Shi Kanzhi are like fresh, crisp cucumbers in front of him, just like Shi Hu did in front of Liu Yao back then, although there are occasional victories, but after all, they can't change the outcome of defeat.

I suddenly remembered this sentence: when all the opponents who are stronger than you grow old and wither, at that time, you will become the number one in the world. Isn't it telling one real piece of history after another? Time, what a wonderful thing.

Shi Sheng and they were not as lucky as Shi Hu, they couldn't wait for Shi Le's reinforcements, and the only result was defeat and destruction. Soon after, Shi Hu killed Shi Sheng and Shi Kan, and wiped out all opposition forces.

In 334, Shi Hong's emperor had been in office for more than a year, and he couldn't do it anymore. There was no persecution, Shi Hong took Yuxi to visit Shi Hu in person, with only one purpose: Emperor, I won't do it.

"The world has its own public opinion, but Ruosi?" This is the answer given by Shi Hu, Shi Hong was sent back to the palace, still with his jade seal, and went back to wait for the "public opinion"!

There is no public opinion, what is waiting for is Shi Hu's order to depose Emperor Shi Hong. In this way, the role of Shi Hong's puppet emperor came to an end.

In the same year, Shi Hu killed Shi Hong and his mother Empress Dowager Cheng and two brothers Shi Hong and Shi Hui. Shi Hong was only twenty-two years old when he was killed.

Hou Zhao, from now on, belongs to the 'Ju Zhao Heavenly King' Shi Hu, Shi Le's descendants, all of them were killed by Shi Hu, cut the grass and eradicated the roots, and no one was left.

How could Shi Le not think that the violent Shi Hu was ruthless and unjust? Shi Le never imagined that just one day after his death, Hou Zhao, who had worked hard, would become a wedding dress made for others.
