Ying Zheng, the great illegitimate son in Chinese history, swept the sea and wiped out the six kingdoms with a slim body and the aftermath of the sixth emperor, fulfilling the last wishes of the six generations of the first kings of the Qin State in the past 150 years, and drawing a perfect end to the cause of the Qin people to unify the world. According to historical records, Qin Shi Huang, the great emperor with the eccentricity of wolf howling in the middle of the night, ruled the country with cold blood, iron fist and power. He was committed to the standardization of the empire, making the cars on the same track, the books on the same text, and the unification of money and weights and measures; He severely suppressed the rebel forces of the Six Kingdoms, paid attention to prevention before it happened, eliminated traitors before they sprouted, moved hundreds of wealthy families in Guandong to Xianyang, collected all the weapons from all over the world and built them into bronze men, and weakened the people of the Six Kingdoms; He admired Legalism, rejected all kinds of doctrines, burned books and pit Confucianism, and fooled the people of the world. He was so happy with his achievements, abused the people's power, repaired the Lishan Tomb, built the Afang Palace, opened the Ling Canal, built the Great Wall, and opened the straight road, and the whole country seemed to have become a huge construction site. The unification of the Qin State did not mean that the war was over, and in the mind of the first emperor, this was only the beginning of a new round of territorial expansion. He was so powerful that no one could change his strong will, he attacked the Xiongnu in the north and conquered Baiyue in the south, so that the Xiongnu did not dare to go south to herd horses, the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain, and the people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Qin Shi Huang was full of ambition: within Liuhe, the land of the emperor. To the sea in the east and wading in quicksand in the west. South and North Households, North Over Great Xia. Wherever people go, they don't surrender. Qin De Zhaozhao, Qin Wei Lielie. Where kindness goes, Ze and cattle and horses.

However, the great emperor never imagined that the thousand-year-old empire that he had fought for all his life would only exist for fifteen years in human history.

This year, Qin Shi Huang was stationed on the sea, and he wanted Xu Fu to come back after he got the medicine, but he didn't return and there was no news. Li Sicheng admonished: "Your Majesty has been touring for a long time, and there are many deceits, why don't you return to Luan and return to the country, repair the border equipment to appease the country, and do nothing on your own." Why bother to drive far away from the birth of an incident, so that Your Majesty will be restless all day long? "The first emperor from Li Si's words, turn the car and drive.

The first emperor crossed the Yellow River and traveled to Pingyuanjin, where he suddenly fell ill and gradually became heavy. One day to get the sand dune, this place belonged to the Zhao State before, built a palace, Zhao Wuling King died here. The First Emperor temporarily resided in the palace to recuperate. During the day, he can barely support, but at night he can't sleep peacefully, his mind is in a trance, and his words are wild, as if he sees a god and a ghost and doesn't know what to do, and he can't even eat the imperial meal.

When the ministers saw that the first emperor was seriously ill, they knew that he usually spoke the most evil words to death, so no one dared to talk about what happened after death. Later, the first emperor was so sick that he fell into a coma several times, and he knew that he couldn't afford it, so he summoned Li Si to come close, dictated the words and made a seal book, and gave it to his eldest son Fusu. ordered him to hand over the military affairs to Meng Tian, and immediately rushed back to Xianyang, waiting for the coffin to be buried when it arrived. "This book is good to be handed over to Zhao Gao for collection by the CRRC government, and the messenger has not yet been sent. On the seventh day of Bingyin, the First Emperor died on the sand dune platform at the age of 50. The poor male of the world turned into a dream of Nanke!

Prime Minister Li Si saw that the emperor was dying outside, and he was afraid that something would happen in the world, so he ordered the first emperor not to mourn and hastily put the body of the first emperor in a coffin. Only the young son Hu Hai and Zhao Gao and five or six cronies and eunuchs learned about it.

Speaking of Zhao Gao himself, he is despicable. His father was imprisoned for breaking the law and was punished by the palace. His mother was not a slave because of her father's involvement, and she fornicated with others, and gave birth to several Zhao Gao brothers, all of whom assumed their father's surname. His mother was later sentenced to death for a crime, and Zhao Gao was also punished by the palace and elected to serve as a eunuch in the palace. Zhao Gao is cunning and insidious, good at serving people's wishes, and can forcibly memorize the laws of the Qin Dynasty. The first emperor tried to read the case, and when there was a slight doubt in the criminal punishment, once Zhao Gao participated in the decision, it was all as good as the law. The first emperor said that he was clear and knowledgeable, strong and talented, and gradually became more favored and promoted to the order of the CRRC government, and asked him to teach the young son Hu Hai to be sentenced to prison. Hu Hai is a little more important, and he is the emperor's beloved son, how can he be willing to calm down and investigate the law? All trials were entrusted to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was familiar with the temperament of the first emperor, and when he encountered the strict words of the chief teacher of the criminal case, he made the prisoner not guilty of any serious crime, and also said that he was innocent of death. On the one hand, he flattered Hu Hai and led him to lustful pleasure, so the first emperor's father and son both called Zhao Gao a loyal minister. Zhao Gao became more and more arrogant, and gradually recruited power to bribe and dance to get papers, but unexpectedly when it was discovered, Qin Shi Huang handed over Zhao Gao to Meng Yi for trial.

Meng Yi found that the circumstances of the crime were serious and should be sentenced to death, so he was sentenced according to the law, and the first emperor was particularly merciful, read him diligent and sensitive, and issued a letter of pardon, not only loaned him to death, but also rewarded the official.

Zhao Gao had his life, he didn't repent, he hated Meng Yi, and wanted to design to harm him. Helplessly, Meng Yi is the younger brother of Meng Tian, and his ancestor and father are Qin generals and have made great contributions. The First Emperor knew that his brother was faithful and trusted. Use Meng Tian as the general to take charge of the troops outside. Meng Yi is in the middle of Shangqing. The Manchu generals were not treated with their favors. Although Zhao Gao has a grudge, he has no way to start.

On this trip, Meng Yi naturally accompanied the first emperor. Who knew that the first emperor was sick halfway, so he made Meng Yi pray to the famous mountains and rivers everywhere. Meng Yi was ordered to do so, but before he could reciprocate, the first emperor was dead.

Zhao Gao was reluctant to let Fusu inherit the throne. Because Fusu is a decent person, he looks down on Zhao Gao, who is flattering. Qin Shi Huang's child, Hu Hai, is a mediocre guy, and the two happen to smell the same. Zhao Gao wanted to take advantage of Meng Yi's absence to seek to establish Hu Hai as his heir, so that he could gain dictatorship and take revenge on hatred.

Zhao Gao made up his mind, so he said to Hu Hai: "The lord died, and he did not leave behind an edict to appoint all sons as kings, and only gave books and eldest sons. In the future, the eldest son will be the emperor, and the son will not have a size, how can it be good? Hu Hai said: "My father's life is like this, what else can I say?" Zhao Gao continued: "This is not the case! Whether you want to grasp the power or not now, it is only in the son and Zhao Gao and the prime minister. May the son pay attention, you must live on the top of the people, not on the bottom! Hu Hai exclaimed: "This paradoxical thing must not be done!" Zhao Gao said: "When the minister hears the soup and kills his master, the world does not call him disloyal." Wei rejected his father, and Confucius did not refer to him as unfilial. In short, those who do great things do not care about small things, and if they hesitate, they will regret it. May Childe do it decisively. All kinds of words made Hu Hai's heart move.

Zhao Gao saw that Hu Hai had agreed, and said: "If this matter is not agreed with the prime minister, I am afraid it will not be possible." The minister asked the prince to discuss with the prime minister. Zhao Gao then went to see Li Si and said: "The Lord has collapsed, and no one knows about it outside." Now the book of the eldest son and the seal coexist in Huhai. Who wants to be the crown prince is all in the mouth of the prince and Zhao Gao. How should this be handled? Li Si was shocked: "Why did you come from the words of the country? This is not a matter for the ministers to discuss. Zhao Gao said: "The prince doesn't need to be in a hurry. Gao has five things, dare to ask the prince. Li Si said: "Tell me." Zhao Gao said: "The prince doesn't have to ask Gao, but when you ask yourself, can you reach Meng Tian?" Merit and Grace Granted? Is it possible to stray? Is it possible for people to have no grievances? is in love with the emperor's eldest son, can it be compared to Meng Tian? Li Si said: "These five things are not as good as Meng Tian, dare to ask why do you blame me?" Zhao Gao said: "If the eldest son is enthroned today, Meng Tian will be used as the prime minister." Could it be that the prince still has to keep the seal and return to the village? Gao Zi was edicted to teach Hu Hai to study the law for several years, and saw that he was benevolent and generous, light on wealth, and the princes were not able to do it. If the prince makes him his heir, he can enjoy the honor of the marquis for a long time. If you decide not to listen, you will be in trouble and your descendants will be chilled, and how will the prince deal with himself? Li Si said: "Don't say anything more! Si Yang received the edict of the Lord and listened to the mandate of heaven, and he had no time to care about the gains and losses. Zhao Gao said again: "Safety can be dangerous, danger can be safe, safety is uncertain, how can it be called?" Li Si said: "Si Ben is clothed, spoiled, has to be the prime minister, the position is to the marquis, and the descendants have to eat Lu, this is the special preferential treatment of the Lord, and if you want to survive in safety, how can Si bear to bear it!" And loyal ministers do not avoid death, filial sons do not work hard, Li Si just wants to do his duty! May you not be different again, so that Li Si will be offended. Zhao Gao saw that Li Si was very inward-looking and couldn't insist, so he further coerced with words: "The saint has never been impermanent, it is nothing more than changing from the time, and seeing the end knows the book." Today, the power is in the hands of Hu Hai, and Gao has obtained the will from Hu Hai, but he has been with the prince for many years, and he does not dare to tell him the truth. The prince is old and practiced, and he should know the stakes and disadvantages. The autumn frost falls, the grass flowers fall, the water shakes, all things are made, it is bound to come, it is true, the prince has not noticed? Li Si said abruptly: "I heard that the prince of Jin Yi, the third generation was uneasy, the brothers of Qi Huan fought for the throne, they died for killing, killed relatives, did not listen to the ministers, and the country was Qiu Xu, so the society was in danger." In short, acting against the sky, the temple is not bloody, and Li Si is also a human being, how can he predict this rebellion? Zhao Gao pretended to be stunned when he heard this: "If the prince has any doubts, Gao has nothing to say, but there are still a few words as the final advice." About the upper and lower contracts, can always be long, Chinese and foreign as one, nothing is on the surface, the prince and the marquis listen to the high plan, you can grow into the marquis, the world is called lonely, longevity if Qiao Song, wisdom such as Kong Mo, if the decision does not follow, it will be a disaster to the descendants, it is inevitable at present. Gao Shi is cold for the prince, please choose the prince to take it. After saying that, he got up and wanted to act. Li Si thought to himself that this matter was very important, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao had already colluded with each other, and it was not possible to control it alone, if I didn't comply, there would be a miracle disaster, so I had to agree for a while. Zhao Gao returned to Hu Hai with joy: "The minister went to the prime minister under the prince's clear order, and the prime minister was willing to obey." Hu Hai heard that Li Si was also willing to follow the proposal, and he was happy to make mistakes so that he could be the second emperor. conspired with Zhao Gao, falsely passed on the edict, set up his son Hu Hai as the crown prince, and gave another book to his eldest son Fusu and the general Meng Tian. Slightly cloudy:

Three generations to rule the world with filial piety, the father to establish a lun, the son to do his duty, contrary to this is contrary to common sense. The eldest son, Fusu, could not rely on his life and make meritorious contributions, but dared to slander and rebel, the love of father and son was reserved, and the law of the ancestors was unforgivable. Now the edict is to establish Hu Hai as the crown prince, abolish Er as a concubine, and give medicine and wine short knives for self-determination. The general Meng Tian was outside, and he could not give formal advice, so he should be disloyal to his ministers and give him death together with his accomplices. The army was handed over to the general Wang Li. Don't disobey!

This was written, covered with the imperial seal, and ordered the cronies of Hu Hai to be the envoy, and ran to Shangjun in the starry night.

Fusu read the edict and wept: "If the monarch and the minister die, he will not dare not die, and the father and son will die, but he will not die." Now the Father gives death, and he is willing to drink wine to complete his body. Fang wanted to drink, Meng Tian hurriedly rushed in and stopped: "The lord is out on patrol, and the prince has not been appointed, and the minister is ordered to lead 300,000 troops to guard the border, and the prince himself is the supervisor of the army, which is an important task in the world." Now he wants to commit suicide with just one messenger, and he knows that the messenger is not cheating? Send someone to ask the Lord for his life, and if it is true, it is not too late to die. Fusu was loyal, and was urged by the messenger several times, so he said to Meng Tian: "The king's order is out, it cannot be violated, and the mission is coming, how can it be untrue, if you play it, it will become more and more unfilial." So he drank and died. Meng Tian covered the prince's corpse and cried bitterly. The three armies wept at all.

Meng Tian saw that Fusu was dead, but he refused to die, and he wanted to send someone to ask for his life to see what was going on. The envoy was helpless, so he handed Meng Tian over to the Yangzhou County official to be imprisoned and guarded.

Zhao Gao feared that Su would enter Xianyang first in violation of the edict, and put Qin Shi Huang's body in a luxurious, ventilated carriage to ease the rate of decomposing of his body. still ordered the chef to eat, and the civil and military officials performed as usual. The outsiders also said that the first emperor was not dead, and stood respectfully by the car. Zhao Gao sat in the car and said casually, all as if it were a holy decree.

However, the time of Qin Shi Huang's death was in June, the sky was red and the sun was shining through the car, and there was no good way to store the body in ancient times, so he did not walk for a few days and the carriage was stinking.

Zhao Gao was very smart, and directly put a large number of dead fish on the carriage, and the fishy smell of the dead fish was very strong, causing everyone to cover their noses, and they could no longer distinguish whether it was the smell of abalone or the smell of corpses.

Qin Shi Huang was moody all his life, and no one dared to speculate about him at all.

When urging all the way, the starry night advanced, crossed the well, crossed the Jiuyuan, and arrived at Xianyang through the straight road built by Meng Tian, and stayed in the capital to wait for Feng Qujian to go out to the suburbs to meet him. Feng Qu galloped into Xianyang with a motorized car. Coincidentally, Hu Hai's henchmen came back from Shangjun and reported that Fusu had committed suicide and Meng Tian was detained.

Hu Hai Zhao Gao Li Si at this time reported that the first emperor died, and the funeral was sent on the same day, and Hu Hai was appointed as the second emperor. Hu Hai ascended the throne and received the court, and the general way of civil and military officials was the last order of the first emperor, so naturally there was no objection, and he congratulated him. After the ceremony, the prime minister and the following all held their old positions, but Zhao Gaojin was the commander of Lang Zhong, and he was particularly favored. Zhao Gao wanted to kill the Montessori brothers and take revenge on his former enemies.
