After the second ascended the throne, people suspected that he had usurped the throne, and now that the emperor had killed the Montessori brothers, everyone's suspicions were even more serious, especially the brothers of the second, they missed the first emperor and the eldest brother, so they complained. When Zhao Gao learned of this, he was extremely frightened, and he was ready to get rid of them.

One day in February of this year, the second said to Zhao Gao: "The common people are all in the suburbs for a spring outing, and they are still playing in the water by the river. I am now the king of the world, how can I sit silently in the capital? I want to follow the example of the first emperor to go out on patrol and show the world his majesty, what do you think? Zhao Gao said: "Your Majesty's patrol is really a matter of course, and the minister should vigorously support it." However, you have to do three things before you can leave the capital. The second asked what three things were. Zhao Gao pinched his fingers and said, "First, Your Majesty must bring all your brothers and court ministers with you when you go out on patrol. Second, let your mother, Empress Dowager Hu, take charge of the government. Third, let the minister's son-in-law Yan Le serve as the Xianyang Order. So there are no worries! The second did exactly that.

A few days later, one morning, II embarked on his first tour of the throne. On this day, he took a gorgeous car and left Xianyang all the way. The difference was that the cars around him were full of pretty beauties and beauties from various palaces, while the brothers of the Second and the ministers of the Qin State followed from a distance. The team left Hangu Pass and walked on the vast plain avenue. Guanzhong is mountainous, and those beauties who are accustomed to seeing the mountains are so happy that they are dancing and chattering when they see the endless plains as far as the eye can see. The second kept praising a beautiful woman named Mipu beside him: "If it wasn't for the heart and liver baby to persuade me to go on patrol, how could you see such a scene?" Look at the scenery on both sides, it's really beautiful! "The beauties complimented the second world on your words and me, and everyone kept laughing and singing. But the brothers and ministers of the Second were frowning and worried.

The second traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, came to the Huiji Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, paid homage to the Dayu Temple, and then came to watch in front of the "Huiji Carved Stone". After looking at the stone inscriptions and inscriptions, the second said: "These are all erected by the First Emperor, but it is not clear that they were erected by the First Emperor, and I have now inherited the title of Emperor, how can people know that this is the inscription erected by the First Emperor?" Don't even know about his great exploits and majestic virtues? The left prime minister Li Si, the right prime minister Feng Quji, and the newly appointed imperial historian Dafude said together: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others will risk death to ask for another inscription, and engrave it here, and state the inscription and deeds of the first emperor more clearly, so that people in later generations will not be confused." The second said, "Absolutely." "Let Li Si belong to the text and set up another stone monument.

When the inscription was written, the second led everyone down the mountain. Then he took a dragon boat to the north. Their courtiers enjoyed the seaside scenery along the way, and the second was very happy. The dragon boat came to Zhifu Mountain, and then went north to the northernmost part of Huangxian County, now in Penglai. At this time, his concubines were still very interested in playing, and they felt that they were not tired by boat, and they wanted to continue to play on the sea. The second decided to take everyone by boat to Liaodong County directly from the sea, so that they could go further and have more fun. His fleet sailed all the way to the southern tip of Liaodong County, in present-day Dalian. The Liaodong county guard personally greeted the second emperor's chariot here, and the army escorted him on land. The second sailed east to the vicinity of Pyongyang in Zhaoxian and landed on land. Pyongyang was the feudal state of the Shang Dynasty, and the capital was located here. It turned out that the uncle of the king of Zhou, Jizi, refused to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, so he led thousands of people who followed him to flee from the mainland by boat from the Shandong Peninsula, and landed on an island a few days later. Since then, thousands of people led by Jizi have settled there, and later established the Marquis of Zhaoxian, known as 'Jizi Zhaoxian' in history, but has always submitted to Zhou. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Wei Man, a native of the Yan Kingdom, fled here, only to replace Jizi Zhao Xian, and established 'Wei Man Zhao Xian'. Therefore, the current Zhao Xian people still respect Jizi as their ancestors.

Here the second heard that Lu Sheng and his disciples had fled here to avoid trouble, and there was something even more mysterious, saying that Fusu did not die and also fled here. In short, the Zhaoxian Peninsula at that time was full of criminals who ran from the mainland, including people from the Six Kingdoms who resolutely refused to Emperor Qin, and Qin State guards who fled here, and the Second ordered these criminals to be wanted. The county guard then sent troops to arrest him. Lu Sheng and his disciples had no choice but to flee east when they heard the news, and all the fugitives of the Qin State at that time, fearing that they would be caught on land, left the Zhaoxian Peninsula and went to Dongying to defect to Xu Fu. What happened to this Xu Fu? It turned out that at this time, he was already in Dongying Immortal Island, also known as Pingyuan Guangze, and married thousands of boys and girls into husband and wife, and worked together to cultivate the wasteland, and managed it very well.

By the time of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Xu Fu's descendants formally established the Hou State in Dongying. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty officially named the king of his Hou State as the 'King of Han and the Slaves'. In the Tang Dynasty, someone wrote the "Nihon Ji" in Chinese in imitation of the "Benji" style in the "Historical Records", because this book was famous, and Emperor Wu Cao changed the name of the "Wa Kingdom" to "Japan". Japan means the place where the sun rises, because the island nation is in the east of Asia, and it is still used today. Another historical book, "Kojiki", also records how the ancestors of the island country came to be, and it is written: "The male god Izangnozun and the goddess Izang Danzun came from heaven and descended in a crane boat (Dongying). "A crane boat is a boat with a bird carved on the bow, and this bird is called a sacred object. In the "Book of Songs", there is a verse of "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, descending to give birth to business", and the Xuanniao here is a crane. Later, Nigami taught the locals how to cultivate and plant land, and also taught everyone to make fires. The most serious was when the male god Izangnozun was burned to death in a fire, and the goddess also died before the male god, and the last remaining people lived in Fuso permanently.

Mythology is actually a portrayal of a different kind of historical fact. From the Warring States period to the early Qin Dynasty, the cranes were the escort ships of the Chinese navy. Now in Penglai, China, there are still unearthed crane boat remains. At that time, there were no such cranes in Dongying, let alone such crane boats. Xu Fu went with a naval ship, so it was natural to have such a ship. There are also the heirlooms of the island country later, the Tiancong Cloud Sword, the Eight Mirrors, and the Yasaka Qiong Hook Jade are all things of the Qin Dynasty, so Dongying has always been a subject country of China. It was not until later that they went through the Meiji Restoration, and the country gradually became stronger, and they began to invade China frequently. And because the island nation is sinking in the ocean year by year, they are worried that they will eventually be submerged, and they begin to expand frantically into China. In the 20 th century, he unleashed an unprecedented world war, brazenly and recklessly swung the butcher's knife at the surrounding people, slaughtering as many as 35 million Chinese, and still does not admit his guilt. Therefore, Xu Fu's descendants became a state of robbers who deceived their relatives and destroyed their ancestors, which was something that the great Qin Shi Huang did not expect when he sent thousands of boys and girls.

At that time, the second emperor pursued the fugitives without results, so he came to Xiangping City, the capital of Liaodong County, now Liaoyang City. They stayed here for a few days and then returned home. So the boat went south along the seaside, and along the way, the second heard the story of Meng Jiang, and also heard that the first emperor built a temple for her and set up sacrifices, so he led everyone to Jieshi for sightseeing. After arriving at Jieshi, II ordered the men and horses to be stationed, and his luxurious tent was unexpectedly tied all over the seashore. Jieshi Mountain is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, is the remaining vein of Yanshan, its main peak is 695 meters above sea level, and is a resort for viewing the sea in ancient and modern times. The second and everyone climbed to the top and looked around, only to see thousands of waves, in full view, and also watched the magical stone in the sea - the tomb of Jiang Nu. It's true: towering and towering, overlooking the waves. The water Chaozong came to the bottom of his eyes, and he swayed out of his chest layer by layer. There is a poem sigh II said:

The royal driver and the people returned to the long distance, and the spring forgot the country and forgot about himself.

The king and grandson hated the princess and resented the minister, and since then the country has been in trouble.

The second only cares about fun, not about government affairs. At this time, the paperwork sent from all over the country had been piled up, but the second turned a deaf ear and handed over all these matters to Li Si and others to deal with. At this time, all the brothers of the second emperor were anxious, especially when they heard that among the prisoners who had fled to Liaodong might be their eldest brother Fusu, everyone became excited, so they gathered together and said: "This time the king's tour is completely a tour of the mountains and rivers, and it is not the same thing as the tour of the first emperor. The monarch is so neglectful of the government, this is what the ancients said 'lingering and dying'. Although we also followed him on patrol, we didn't have personal freedom! ”

One night, the royal brothers gathered together to drink. As the saying goes, 'spit out the truth after drinking'. Lao Wu Xinji has a straightforward personality, coupled with his youth, he said to the brothers with the strength of wine: "Our eldest brother is the eldest son, what a good person he is?" He should have inherited the throne, and this state affairs would not have slackened, but I don't know why? The first father passed the throne to his younger brother Hu Hai? The second prince Jiang Lu hurriedly covered the mouth of the fifth brother and said, "You can't talk nonsense, this is the decision of the first emperor, how can we discuss this matter casually?" At this time, there was a little eunuch who accompanied the wine, named Gao You, but he said drunkly: "Alas! Do you know that when the first emperor toured the east last year, after he fell ill in the sand dunes, he asked Lord Zhao to write a testament, which was to let your eldest brother Fusu rush back to Xianyang to inherit the throne, but I don't know why? The edict was not sent, the first emperor died, I was by my side at the time, Prime Minister Li Cheng was afraid that something would happen on the way, so he blocked the news, and the successor was now His Majesty. "One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and this sentence is heard by the princes, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Xinji jumped up immediately and said, "We were originally suspicious of this, and sure enough!" Gao You said again: "It's still a trivial matter to establish a prince!" The princes were astonished and asked, "Is there anything else that is not to be done?" Gao You deliberately sneakily walked outside the tent to look at the movement, and then walked among the princes, and said in a low voice: "When the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, Prime Minister Li Cheng will fake an edict on the way and give your eldest brother to death!" This has nothing to do with the first emperor, and your eldest brother did not rebel. When the princes heard this, they were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

At this time, the princes were all indignant, or they were upset about the eldest brother, or they were grieving, and some people were ready to go to Li Si to theorize. Seeing this scene, Gao You hurriedly said: "You are mistaken, although the prime minister was involved in this matter, it was mainly planned by Lord Zhao. The princes exclaimed, "This turned out to be Zhao Gao's conspiracy? Gao Youdao: "Yes." Lord Zhao Gao was afraid that the Montessori brothers would not be convinced, so he acted in advance and persuaded His Majesty to kill them. Why did I let you come out this time, I was afraid that you would stay in the capital and rebel. I really can't bear to watch Zhao Gao deceive you, so I'll tell you the truth today, but you must keep it secret, otherwise Lord Zhao will kill me! Xin Ji was furious and gritted her teeth and asked, "Are these the truths you say?" Gao You said: "How dare you panic in front of the princes? Xin Ji said angrily: "I'll kill the traitor Zhao Gao first!" "When you're done, you have to act. Gao You hurriedly dissuaded: "Master, it's all because I was drunk for a while, and I told the truth." If you go to kill Zhao Gao now, you will be throwing yourself into the net! After saying that, he was so anxious that he began to cry.

Seeing that his younger brother was angry, Jiang Lu also persuaded: "Yes, go and kill Zhao Gao now, Your Majesty still thinks you are going to rebel, calm down!" The fifth child also drew his sword out of the sheath and rushed to the big tent to kill Zhao Gao. Gao You rolled his eyes and said busily: "The second son is right!" If you go to kill Zhao Gao now, you will definitely not succeed, but you will lose your life. I have an idea! Xinji stopped and asked what he had in mind. Gao You said: "Now that Zhao Gao is accompanying His Majesty to swim in the sea, he has not come back yet, how can you get close to him with such fanfare?" It's better to wait until tomorrow morning, and you will take advantage of Your Majesty's pre-sea yet, everyone will hide their blades, go to see the emperor, and then expose Zhao Gao's crimes in person. If Your Majesty promises to get rid of the thieves, you will immediately draw out your blades and stab the thieves to death!" The princes listened to Takayu's plan and thought it was feasible, so they agreed. When Gao Yu saw that everyone was able to act according to their plan, a wicked smile appeared on his face that was not easy to detect.

The next morning, the fifteen princes got up early and got ready. Takayu volunteered to inquire about the movement. After a while, he came back and said: "Zhao Gao went out to check the chariot, and this is a good time to meet him." So the princes took their daggers in their arms, and came to the tent of the second and asked for an audience. The Tiger Guardian went in to deliver the message, and after a while came out and said, "You can meet you." And they all went into the tent and knelt down in unison. When the second saw everyone, he was amazed and asked what was the matter. Jiang Lu took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, it has been several months since my father passed away, and many appalling things have happened in the court, and the ministers don't know at all. The eldest brother let His Majesty give him death, is this true? The second was overwhelmed by the sudden questioning. The third prince said excitedly: "The eldest brother is cautious in his words and deeds, generous and benevolent, he respects his parents and loves his younger siblings, and there is no fault at all, but why did Your Majesty give him death?" General Meng Tian made great contributions to the Qin State and can be described as a minister of the society. When his father was there, everything was discussed with him, but His Majesty also gave him to death, and what the ministers couldn't understand was that His Majesty Zhao Gaojiao did all this! Zhao Gao was originally a humble slave, what credit did he have to the country? Stealing a high position? He killed his eldest brother and heroes, which is a heinous crime! This person's ambition is unpredictable, and he will have the heart of usurping the country, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to cause a catastrophe to the Qin country! The second was dumbfounded. General Lu said again: "The ministers ask Your Majesty to immediately summon Zhao Gao, expose his conspiracy in person, and then kill this thief to avenge the eldest brother and General Meng!" Please send an edict immediately? When the second emperor saw that his brothers were emotional, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do, he wanted to send an edict, but he was afraid that it would be inappropriate. At this moment, Zhao Gao suddenly walked into the imperial tent, followed by dozens of armor soldiers, and surrounded the princes. Zhao Gao shouted: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone rebelled, they came to assassinate Your Majesty, and the ministers rushed to the rescue!" ”

Zhao Gao came very suddenly, which made all the princes feel incredible. It turned out that Zhao Gao had already discussed with Gao You, and he wanted to take the opportunity of this tour to get rid of the brothers of the second generation, so as not to have trouble, so he made this plan with Gao You, Gao You was his inner line, so he deliberately asked him to tell the princes the truth of the matter, the purpose was to provoke them. When the princes are angry, they will inevitably do drastic things, and then further frame them in order to achieve a plot to get rid of them. Today, Gao You reported the military situation in a panic, saying that Zhao Gao went out to inspect the chariot battle, but in fact, he first contacted Zhao Gao and tricked the princes to go to see the second. When Zhao Gao learned that the princes had entered the imperial tent, he brought the armor soldiers and rushed over.

At that moment, Zhao Gao said loudly: "Your Majesty, if the minister is one step late, you will be in danger!" Today's events are too dangerous! The second asked what was at stake. Zhao Gao said loudly: "They are here to assassinate you!" Xin Ji roared angrily: "Traitor, what nonsense are you talking about? He once again begged the second: "Your Majesty, the traitor is uninvited, please arrest this thief immediately!" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Gao said loudly: "Your Majesty, they are going to rebel!" The minister rushed to the rescue! Confused, the second asked, "How do you know that they have come to assassinate me?" Zhao Gao said: "Please search your body immediately." Xin Ji and the others suddenly realized, only to know that Gao You had deceived them. According to the law of Qin: Hiding weapons to meet the emperor is to exterminate the clan. Xin Ji pointed at Zhao Gao at this time and scolded: "Traitor, you are spewing blood!" Zhao Gao said to Xin Ji: "It's obvious that you are a thief, and you dare to deny it!" The second asked the guards to search his body, and as a result, he found a dagger on Ji Xin's body, and also found sharp weapons from other people's bodies. The princes were shocked.

The dagger was originally used by the princes to kill Zhao Gao, but they never expected that it would become evidence for the assassination of the emperor at this time. When the second emperor saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be furious, so he ordered Zhao Gao to take down all the imperial brothers, and then push them out and behead them. The royal brothers argued on the basis of reason: "We are close relatives and flesh and blood, and we have no intention of stabbing us!" Your Majesty! We are here to kill the national thief, please see your majesty! The second did not disagree, and ordered the guards to push the princes out. At this time, Li Si and other ministers heard about it, so they hurriedly came to dissuade and intercede for the princes. II also ignored it. Li Si said: "Today's incident is too sudden, whether they come to assassinate or not, they should be brought back to review and convict clearly!" The second had no choice but to imprison the elder brothers first.
