It turned out that the royal sisters didn't know where the emperor was, and when they came to inquire clearly, Zhao Gao grabbed ahead of them. The royal sisters were angry, so they rushed in without waiting for the gatekeeper's report. They rushed into the palace and shouted, "Where is Your Majesty?" When the people in the palace saw that it was the royal sister, they didn't dare to stop it. At this time, Zhao Gao had already led people to rush over from under the side porch, and when he saw the fierce royal sisters, he immediately ordered the warriors to take them all down. Although the royal sisters were angry, they were women after all, and they were all weak and couldn't help themselves, how could they twist the strong tiger guards, so they were tied up. When they saw that Zhao Gao was making trouble here, they scolded him for being a rebellious minister and thief who brought disaster to the country and the people. It's a pity that the royal sisters didn't even see the face of the second, so they were arrested and taken to Shicao.

Zhao Gao then entered the palace and said to the second: "Your Majesty, back then, Sun Wu killed the two Aiji of the king of Wu, and made the state of Wu hegemonic. It is not enough to warn others not to torture those who oppose rebellion now. The second understood what he meant, and asked what was the best penal code. Zhao Gao said cruelly: "If you want to make those people with bad intentions completely afraid of you, you have to use the punishment of car splitting!" The second nodded and said yes. Zhao Gao used the punishment of car splitting to prepare to execute the princess of Qin.

As an important part of the ancient legal system, the development and changes of criminal punishment are in essence the condensation of the development and progress of the entire Chinese society. The reasons for the development and change of the penal system are multi-layered, with different characteristics in different eras, and different contemporaries and authorities in different eras. However, the general trend of development is to develop in the direction of primitive barbarism, backwardness, and brutality in the direction of civilization and prudence. But in the Qin State 2,000 years ago, the criminal law was still very cruel, and the cruelty was outrageous. For example, the punishment of car splitting, this kind of criminal law is a kind of torture in ancient China, commonly known as five horses to split the body, that is, the head and limbs of the person are tied to five cars, put on the horses, pull in different directions, and then tear the human body into five pieces, so it is called car splitting. Sometimes this kind of punishment is carried out without a car, but directly with five oxen or five horses to pull it, so the chariot split is commonly known as five oxen or five horses to split the corpse. In ancient times, the car crack was called the wheel or the wheel of the car. You must know that it takes a lot of effort to cut off a person's head and limbs, let alone pull it off, and the pain suffered by the prisoner can be imagined, this is simply an unparalleled torture!

The people in Xianyang City are seeing off the Wang sisters, some of them are angry, some are lamenting, and some are crying. Although people resented the wrong decision of the second and Zhao Gao from the bottom of their hearts, they did not dare to speak, and could only have deep sympathy for the princesses who were about to be executed. The common people are thinking: Although the Qin State is a country with an extremely strict legal system, it cannot do anything as it wants, and all actions must be carried out under the premise that the laws of the country allow it. But now, why is there a cruel battle between you and me within the Qin State? The great king of the world, the first emperor gave birth to more than 20 princesses, why do they all have to kill them all at once now? Have they really committed an unpardonable heinous sin? Why is it so unlucky to be born in an imperial family? You see that the princes are so handsome and beautiful, and the princesses are so beautiful and virtuous, and now they all have to die and die, God is so ruthless! This life is really unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune are also very impermanent! Before everyone felt incredulous, Zhao Gao had already taken ten beautiful and kind princesses to the place of execution to be executed. Suddenly, the crowd erupted in mournful sobs, and the oppressive voices grew louder and louder, until finally people could no longer control their emotions and began to cry loudly.

Zhao Gao, as a prison official, saw that people were crying, not only did he have no pity, but also reprimanded the officials without humanity, asking them to stop the people immediately. The officials shouted at the onlookers, telling them to stop crying immediately. But how is this possible? People's joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all natural expressions in different circumstances, how can people's emotions be changed because of power and intimidation? Don't say it's a human being, it's a stone man, an iron man, and he will also shed emotional tears at this time, but Zhao Gao not only created this human tragedy with his own hands, but also wanted to use power to change people's emotional world.

As soon as the time of execution came, there was silence on the execution ground. Zhao Gao ordered the soldiers to execute them one by one with extremely cruel car splitting punishment, and the ten princesses of the poor First Emperor were all favored and pampered in every way, but now they are going to die. When the people saw the execution, they covered their faces in fright. In a short time, the ten princesses were tied to the carriage by the executioners...... But none of the brave princesses begged for mercy from the executioner, nor did any of them beg for their lives, but they were all very strong, and scolded Zhao Gao to the death.

Strange to say, just after the execution of the princesses, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and after a while, there was a cool breeze, and there was a heavy snow of goose feathers. This strange phenomenon is inexplicable, so the people of Xianyang really believe that there is a strange injustice in the world, and heavy snow falls in June. This is God grieving and crying for them again! It's still the season of summer and autumn, so why is it suddenly snowing heavily? When people saw this phenomenon, they couldn't help but be afraid, so people rushed in panic on the execution ground, causing chaos in the entire Dharma field. At this time, the executioners were also afraid, and they no longer listened to what Zhao Gao said, but ran wildly in the crowd, as if God was going to ask for their lives. At this moment, time and space seem to have stopped, and the entire Xianyang City seems to have become an eerie and terrifying underworld......

When the ministers of the court heard that Zhao Gao had executed ten princesses with the punishment of car splitting, they were all shocked and devastated. Li Si wept and sighed: "'Misfortune and blessing are dependent, and blessing and misfortune are lurking. 'Dune scheme, my Lis's sin is not small! First Emperor, First Emperor! I'm so sorry for you! I'm also sorry for the Great Qin Kingdom! There is a poem that sighs Li Si said:

It is difficult to write with the tiger to hide the skin, and the heavens are like a disaster.

In the past, the hidden danger of arson was established, why sigh for blessings and misfortunes now?

There is also a son named Yinggao in the palace, because he has some physical disabilities, so he does not go out all the year round, and now he sees that the catastrophe is coming, he wants to escape, but he is worried that his mother will be implicated, so he comes to his mother and says: "All the brothers and sisters are dead, only I am alive, just because I am a disabled person!" If you don't find a way as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will affect you, mother? Gao's mother said very sadly: "My son can rest assured, with his mother here, they won't do anything to you!" Ying Gao said: "Disaster will come to the head one day, the child pondered, rather than waiting for death, it is better to accompany the first emperor, so that it will also be a virtuous and filial name, and the mother will be safe and sound!" Gao's mother burst into tears and cried, "I'd rather die than let you leave me." My son doesn't have to be stupid, mother must protect you! The mother and son hugged their heads and cried all night.

The next day, Ying Gao took advantage of his mother's inattention, so he slipped out of the palace to see the second emperor and said: "When the first emperor was here, he often gave his ministers clothes and food, and now the ministers ask to accompany the first emperor, right?" In this way, we can repay the kindness of nurturing. After hearing this, the second asked Zhao Gao: "Does this work out?" Zhao Gao said very happily: "The minister dies for the king, and the son dies for the father, this is a good story for the ages, how can it not work?" The second was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Yinggao 100,000 yuan as the cost of the funeral. Yinggao accepted the reward, and thanked him sadly and withdrew. The second asked Zhao Gao again: "Did he originally want to rebel, but now he saw that his accomplices are dead, so he made such a decision?" Zhao Gao smiled very approvingly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Wise Your Majesty, what you said is so right!" They can't even save their own lives, and of course they won't have the idea of rebellion in the future. When he heard this, he jumped up for joy.

Suddenly, there was a heart-rending cry outside. Someone came in and reported, saying, "Gongzi Gao's mother asks to see her." Zhao Gao hurriedly said to the second: "Gongzi Gao wanted to rebel, and his mother instigated it." Now Gao took the initiative to bury the first emperor because he was afraid of disaster and his mother. Although his son has filial piety, his mother may not agree, so she must have come to intercede, and Yinggao's mother should be sent to the cold palace. In this way, the people will say: Your Majesty enforces the law and does not avoid the concubines of the first emperor, then everyone in the world will think that you are the wisest king! The second said, "Great, let's send her to the cold palace." The guards on the left and right agreed and walked out. After a while, Yinggao's mother's cry was no longer audible.

Gongzi Gao left the palace and came to his residence, and when he heard that his mother entered the palace to intercede for him, he thought that if the emperor agreed, Zhao Gao would still frame him, so he hurriedly ordered the palace people: "After I die, you will bury me next to the tomb of the first emperor." After saying that, he hanged himself in the hall. The indiscriminate killing of the second emperor aroused great anger among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty. In the next few days, there were a lot of people who entered the court to admonish them. But the second did not listen to them at all, and not only that, but also dismissed all the officials of the three departments who had been admonished. There is a poem that sighs the first emperor's road:

Thousands of years of history sigh the rise and fall, why not pass on the heirs to learn from the first emperor?

It is difficult for angels to stand up, and it is even more difficult to teach flesh and blood to fight each other.
