Chapter 1 When the Opportunity Knocks on the Door 18

Shi Di died, and as a king and father, Shi Hu should have learned from the pain.

But after three seconds of sadness, Shi Hu continued to live his happy life. Hunting, feasting, profligacy, erosion in luxury, debauchery in erosion, sinking in debauchery. As for the government affairs, Shi Hu didn't bother to ask, and handed it over directly to the crown prince Shi Xuan, as well as his favorite son Shi Tao.

I remember watching a braided play, about the father-son love of the emperor's family, the emperor said this: I have many sons, I want to hug when I see this, I want to hug when I see that, but there are too many and I don't know which one to hug and which one to hug. I don't hold it at all, lest my son be left out in the cold, lest my son be envied. Actually, I wish I could hug them every day, but I can't.

Since ancient times, the royal family has little affection, and in the indifferent palace, isn't this kind of fatherly love great enough? The tiger is the respect of a hundred beasts, who dares to touch its anger? Only father-son love, step by step. This is a poem by Xie Jin, a great genius of the Ming Dynasty, which is precisely about the problem of establishing a prince. Fathers in the world only have different positions, and their love for their sons is actually the same, but the way of expression is different, but the results are also very different. From the king's point of view, Shi Hu's fatherly love is actually a kind of injury. If I love me, I will give power to me, and while Shi Tao is favored by his father, his desire for power becomes stronger and stronger. After the lesson, Shi Hu still adheres to the style of handing over power to whoever he likes, how can he not have an accident? Later, the tragedy of fratricide was repeated, in fact, it was all his responsibility.

As the crown prince, how could Shi Xuan allow others to take a share of the power feast.

However, before the brothers were tense, Shi Hu's life was still quite comfortable. After becoming the king of Da Zhao, Shi Hu liked hunting even more, when he was seventeen years old, he was riding a horse, holding a slingshot in his left hand, and shooting birds with a bow and arrow in his right hand, so chic! Now that I'm older, I've stopped fighting on the battlefield for many years, and my body is getting fatter and fatter. He can hold a bow and arrows, but he can't ride a horse.

So what to do?

Ride.

Shi Hu went hunting in a car, and built a "hunting car" for thousands of times, with a length of three zhang and a height of one zhang and eight feet; Forty times the beast car, the second floor of the three-level row building on it. There are always a few days a month, and when we choose a day, we go hunting together.

The lineup is luxurious, the scene is grand, and every hunt is like leading thousands of troops in a battle. Shi Hu never tires of this.

As for the hunting grounds, from the south of Lingchangjin to Xingyang, the east pole of Yangdu, so that the imperial history of the prison, among which the beasts have committed the crime to the great opening.

What does it mean to "condemn the offender of the beast"? There is a proper noun for this called "committing beasts", and four-legged beasts can commit (attacking, attacking) people, but the broad masses of the people cannot commit beasts. Whoever dares to throw a brick at a beast or beast will kill the whole family.

What a harsh wildlife protection law! In the history of China and the world, there has never been such a bastard legal text, and of course, there has never been such a huge hunting ground. The Later Zhao Empire, which almost unified the Central Plains, was human life expensive or beasts? Of course, it is a beast, and Shi Hu practices this with law and practical actions.

Moreover, the inspectors who guarded the hunting grounds were not all good things, and they did not have the courage to harm the birds and beasts (they were afraid that Shi Hu would punish them), but they had the means to harm the people. On the way to perform official duties, if the imperial historians see whose girl is handsome, whose house is well repaired (rich), or even has a fat big animal at home, who may be a beast. What, you dare to say that you didn't commit it? Girls, money, and big animals, all bring them, otherwise, they are beasts. Hey, what about you! Look at it, your eyes are on the beast! He deserves to be punished! It is said that countless people have been killed as a result.

Wronged or not? But who will do justice for them? In addition to the silence of the bystanders, we should be ashamed that Wang Shi was beaten down by others, and he could not return to his homeland and recover the Central Plains.

Another characteristic of the Shihu regime is the indiscriminate addition of female officials, in fact, I don't think it is necessarily indiscriminate. There is no way, there are too many women, if there is no layer of management by many levels of female officials, wouldn't the palace be a mess? This is precisely Shi Hu's shrewdness, "increased to the twenty-fourth rank of female officials, and the second rank of ten in the East Palace." So, how many women are there?

In the territory of Zhao State, girls under the age of 20 and over the age of 13 must be registered for selection. Shi Hu picked the rest to be the future wives of the people of Zhao State. Those women who have already been married have unfortunately become gifts from local officials in order to invite favors. In short, it is a sentence, from half-aged to cardamom girls, as long as they are handsome, they will all be sent to the palace and be Shihu's women. "The wives of the people are beautiful, so they are threatened by their power, and they commit suicide at a high rate." Strong women are a minority after all, and most can only choose to give in. In the end, more than 40,000 beauties from all over the country were sent to the Yecheng Palace.

It is said that later, Shi Hu Linxuan chose to see, saw that the beauties were full, the beauty was full of eyes, and under the great joy, twelve "meritorious" officials were named liehous.

It turns out that the feudal marquis does not need military merits, as long as he can find a woman for His Majesty the Heavenly King.

It is recorded in the history books that there are too many women in the palace, and Shi Hu can't take care of them, so Shi Hu, who has a tradition of killing his wife, walks around the palace with a machete, and kills him with a knife if he touches it.

At the same time of safari and beauty pageants, Shi Hu sent 160,000 people to rebuild Chang'an Weiyang Palace, and sent 260,000 people to rebuild Luoyang Palace, and forcibly recruited more than 20,000 cattle to be assigned to Shuozhou pasture.

Under such a monarch and such a policy of governing the country, how did the people of Later Zhao live? In fact, they can't live, and many, many people choose to "hang themselves on the southeast branch". On the road to Yecheng, the envoys sent by Cheng Han to Later Zhao saw the tragic scene of people who could not afford to pay conscription and taxes hanging themselves from trees on the side of the road.

No one in the Zhao Kingdom dares to speak, the king is like this, any truth and famous words are nonsense, the ministers who want to survive in the troubled times are very aware of current affairs, and if they don't speak, they just have a mouth, and they are sycophants and flattering words. Only Shangshu Zhu Liang and the leader of the Di tribe who was far away in the borderlands, General Guanwei and Pu Hong, admonished.

Pu Hong's admonition was very straightforward: "...... Today's Xiangguo, Ye Palace, Kang Diyu, Chang'an, Luoyang, what is it? Coiled in the wandering, lingering on the woman, the death of three generations will always be from this. And suddenly, for the hunting chariot thousands of times, raising beasts for thousands of miles, snatching wives and daughters, 100,000 surplus palaces...... Criminal politics is like this, and it is like history! It's like the four seas! ”

Pu Hong is the leader of the Di tribe and has strong power, although Shi Hu Lanjuan is furious, he is helpless, and it is not easy to blame. But there is nothing polite to Shangshu Zhu Rail, and in the name of "slandering the government", he killed Zhu Rail.

Later Zhao kings, since Shi Le, probably poor and afraid of slave origin, have deliberately amassed treasures, "since the king has ten states, gold, silk, pearls and jade and foreign treasures can not be remembered, and still think that it is insufficient, the tombs of the emperors and sages of the past dynasties are all excavated, and take their treasures."

The name of Captain Touching Jin was originally carried forward in the hands of Shi Hu.

Up to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, down to Zhao Jianzi (the one who hunted in the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf. Tombs, the vast area of the Central Plains is the traditional "imperial capital", but there are princely tombs, all of which have become the target of Shihu's "dynasty tomb robbers". "Dig the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and take copper casting as a tool". Hundreds of thousands of people in Yingzheng's mausoleum have been built for decades, it is too difficult to excavate, and under the desperate work of Shi Huzhi's unsympathetic manpower, he can only dig up the ruins of the annex building of the mausoleum, and after digging out some large copper pillars, he has to stop. Today we can still see the miraculous terracotta warriors, we should really thank Shi Hu.

The ancients attached the most importance to their ancestors, and it was shameful to dig graves and dig graves. It is said that it was a deed to cut off children and grandchildren, but as a king, Shi Hu did it, and then Shi Hu finally cut off his children and grandchildren, or because of this!.

It wasn't enough, and a monk named Wu Jin had a bad idea: "Hu Yun will decline, and Jin should be revived, and the Jin people (Han people) should be forced to change their fortunes." Shi Hu is very superstitious about this set, obey his words, 160,000 men and women near Dafa Yecheng, 100,000 cars, day and night, carrying earth and stone to repair the Hualin Garden, and build the Great Wall in the north of Ye, dozens of miles long.

The monk Wu Jin must be a spy similar to the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo, but his approach is much more clever than Zheng Guo, only the pain of labor and money, and there is no benefit from the fertile field. But Shi Hu was convinced.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites in charge of astronomical astrology advised on this matter, such as the dimming of the purple microstar, which is detrimental to the fortune of the country. Shi Hu naturally won't listen, "The long wall is gone, I have no hatred!" "Even if it is repaired in the morning and destroyed in the evening, I am happy, what can you do? Naturally, no one can do anything!

The project is going on day and night, under the dual effect of huge labor intensity and cruel natural environment, tens of thousands of servants have died, and Shi Hu, who once killed people like hemp, will not care at all. It's good to be dead, just to make room for my people to survive and develop.

After the garden is completed, strange trees are planted all over the period, and rare birds and beasts are raised. Shi Hu is in the pool every day, watching the beasts and drinking, so unhappy!

It's just a refreshment!
