However, it is said that after the second killed Li Si, Zhao Gao became the prime minister justifiably, and everything was decided by him, and he almost became the emperor. With his wings full, he gradually stopped taking Hu Hai in his eyes. One day, Zhao Gao took advantage of the ministers to congratulate him, and ordered someone to bring a deer and said to Hu Hai: "The minister will offer a horse for His Majesty to enjoy." Although Hu Hai was confused, the deer and the horse could still be distinguished. He laughed and said, "The prime minister is wrong, this is obviously a deer, how can it be said to be a horse?" ”

Zhao Gao asked the ministers solemnly: "Do you say this is a deer or a horse?" Some of the ministers were intimidated by Zhao Gao's obscenity and remained silent; Some are accustomed to flattery, and are busy saying that they are horses; Some couldn't figure out Zhao Gao's intentions and said that it was a deer. Hu Hai saw that everyone was different, and he hurriedly summoned Taibu to tell the hexagram. Taibu said: "Your Majesty did not fast and bathe during the sacrifice, so this is it. Hu Haixin thought it was true, so under Zhao Gao's arrangement, under the guise of fasting, he hid in Shanglin Yuan for a safari. As soon as the second was gone, Zhao Gao corrected those who dared to say "deer" one after another.

Why did Zhao Gao have to refer to the deer as a horse? Of course, he did not want to be a zoologist, but to challenge his life to the limits and at the same time confirm Hu Hai's leadership skills and work level. Zhao Gao can see from this incident that Hu Hai is just an ornament and a fool.

However, he said that Liu Xiang was advancing from east to west, and Zhao Gao still wanted to hide it from the second emperor and not let him hear about it. When Pei Gong fell into Wuguan, he sent people into Bai Zhao Gao and told him to surrender quickly, and Zhao Gao was in a hurry. I couldn't think of a way for a while, so I had to falsely claim that I was sick and didn't go to court for a few days.

The second day is all about Zhao Gao's side of the judgment of government affairs, but Zhao Gao has not been here for days, so he is inevitably frightened. The heart was disturbed during the day, and of course there were many dreams at night, and dimly saw a white tiger running to the front of the car, and actually bit his left horse to death, and the second screamed wildly and suddenly woke up. He immediately sent an envoy to rebuke Zhao Gao and ordered him to eliminate the thieves as soon as possible.

Zhao Gao is not literate or martial, relying on a trick to steal power, this time he asked him to transfer troops to prevent chaos, of course he was powerless. Moreover, the enemy army is approaching, the general trend has gone, and no matter how wise and brave you are, it is difficult to support. Zhao Gao wanted to protect his whole family, so he secretly called his younger brother Lang Zhong to order Zhao Cheng, and his son-in-law Xianyang ordered Yan Le to discuss: "The Lord usually refuses to listen to advice, and now he is in a hurry to blame me, and the matter has come to this point, so he can only be forced to commit suicide and set up another person." ”

Zhao Gao was a powerful eunuch active in the Qin Dynasty, especially during the Qin II period, the eunuch Zhao achieved the pinnacle of his life: he dared to run to the Golden Palace and point the deer as a horse to the emperor. Zhao Gao belonged to the eunuchs who were "halfway monks". Zhao Gao had a wife and children before entering the palace, and later entered the palace in order to realize his life ideals and was stabbed, and finally went to the peak of power, his wife and children also became respected nobles, and his son-in-law Yan Le became a Xianyang Commander by virtue of the promotion of his father-in-law.

Although Yan Le is his son-in-law, if he conspires with the second emperor, it will be over. Zhao Gao ordered his mother to be taken to his home under house arrest, and then ordered Yan Le to kill the second.

Yan Le had no choice but to lead more than 1,000 people to break into the palace gate. All the guards and eunuchs were panicked and fled for their lives. There were also those who dared to fight forward, and they were all killed. When the second emperor heard the news, he was furious and hurriedly summoned his close servants to meet the enemy. The second saw that the leaders were Zhao Cheng and Yan Le, and knew that it was Zhao Gao who did it.

At this time, the second knew that he was helpless, and hurriedly approached the inner hall, and the eunuch followed him all the way, and the second asked him: "Zhao Gao is in rebellion, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The eunuch said: "The minister was lucky to steal life because he didn't dare to say much; If the minister had been sentenced to death for a long time, how could he survive so far! After the eunuch finished speaking, Yan Le had already led his troops to chase in. Seeing that there was no way to escape, the second had to sit and wait. Yan Lexing counted his sins nearly two years ago and said: "There is no way to kill him on weekdays. If you have been forced to rebel today, your country is about to end. What to do now, you should know very well! As he spoke, Yan Le threw a sword in front of the second.

Qin II sat down on the ground all of a sudden, stared blankly at the ground and said, "Can I see the prime minister?" ”

"Nope." Yan Le said coldly.

"Then please tell the prime minister that I will be given a county of land and let me be king, okay?"

"Ha, stop dreaming about it!" Yan Le sneered and turned his head.

"Or, I'll just be a marquis of ten thousand households...... " said the second pitifully.

"What do you think you are! You go and die. Yan Le said disdainfully, rolling his eyes.

Qin II almost cried urgently: "Either let me take my wife and children and go to the countryside to be a little common man...... Please spare me my life. The second begged like a dog.

Yan Le walked up to the second world, leaned down and gritted his teeth and said, "I came to kill you on the orders of the prime minister, did you hear that?" I won't kill you! The prime minister is going to kill my mother! It's useless for you to ramble here, and I won't tell the prime minister what you said. I have only one purpose now, and that is to make you die! You'd better be faster, don't let me do it myself! The second cried with tears in his eyes, he had to pick up the sword on the ground, and then stood up tremblingly, closed his eyes, and was ruthless, Qin II took his father's dream to be passed down to all generations.

Yan Le was forced to die II, and immediately returned to Zhao Gao, who wanted to usurp the throne, so he went straight to Xianyang Palace, took the jade seal of the country and wore it on his body, and summoned hundreds of officials and courtiers. Who knew that although this group of people was afraid of Zhao Gao on weekdays, now that they heard that the second was dead, Zhao Gao wanted to usurp the throne, but everyone was unwilling in their hearts, and no one listened. Zhao Gao went up to the palace and sat on the throne by himself. It's also strange to say, as soon as Zhao Gao walked up to the hall, he suddenly felt that the temple shook as if it was about to topple, so frightened that Zhao Gao hurriedly retreated, looking back at the palace was still intact. Zhao Gao didn't believe it, thinking that he was dizzy, so he must have gone up to the temple again, and the hall shook again, so three times. Zhao Gao thought to himself: "Heaven does not allow it, and the people's hearts do not obey, but I have no emperor in my life!" "I had to stop.

Zhao Gao had no choice but to summon the ministers and princes and say: "In the kingdom of Qin, the first emperor unified the world, so he was called the emperor." Now that the Six Kingdoms have returned, the world is divided, and the land of Qin is smaller than before, so it is not possible to claim the title of emperor, but should still be called the king. The brother and son of the second were benevolent and thrifty, and the people were subservient and should be established as the king of Qin. When the people heard this, they did not dare to disagree. Zhao Gao ordered the son to fast, and chose a day to sacrifice to the temple to receive the jade seal. He also ordered the burial of the second in the Yichun Garden of Dunan.

Gongzi Ying is intelligent, benevolent, and wise, which is very different from the second. Now that he was promoted as the king, he knew that Zhao Gao had bad intentions, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to go to the palace to fast according to his words. Five days later, the time to sue the temple was approaching, and Ziying had a plan, and secretly summoned the second son and the confidant eunuch Han Tan and said: "Zhao Gao killed the second, originally wanted to usurp, because he was afraid that the ministers would punish him, and made me the king." I heard that Zhao Gaoshi made a covenant with the Chu people and proclaimed himself king after destroying the Qin clan. If you want me to fast and tell the temple today, you must want to kill me in the temple. It is better to calculate the plan, so as to avoid disaster. The three of them agreed, and each prepared to go.

On the day of suing the temple, Zhao Gao first went to the temple and sent someone to invite the child, but the child was not able to push the disease, and it was like this several times in a row. Zhao Gao saw that Ziying was repeatedly invited, so he had to come in person. When they arrived at the Dezhai official, Han Tan and Ziying and the second son were waiting in the wall with a sharp blade in their bodies, but Zhao Gaoquan didn't care and entered the palace safely. I saw Ziying and said: "The enthronement of the temple is a great ceremony, why can't the king?" Before the words were finished, the three of them had already come out of the wall compartment, and rushed towards Zhao Gao with sharp blades in their hands. Zhao Gao was caught off guard and was killed by Han Tan with a knife, ending his life of sin.

Zhao Gao may not have thought until he died, it turned out that Gongzi Ziying was the most hidden one, and if he seemed to have great ambitions, he might have been eliminated a long time ago.

Ziying saw that Zhao Gao was dead and the major event had been decided, so he met the ministers and took the throne.

Ziying ordered Zhao Gao's corpse to be split and displayed to the public, and his three clans were exterminated. Ziying found out that Pei Gong would enter the army from Wuguan, and urgently sent the general Han Rong to defend the pass and refuse it.

No one knows Yan Le's final outcome. However, Yan Le is Zhao Gao's "fast son-in-law of the dragon", which belongs to the scope of Zhao Gao's three clans, and according to the normal situation, Yan Le should also die in the hands of Ziying.

However, it was said that Pei Gong had broken the martial arts, and Zhao Gao sent someone to report that he had killed the second and asked to share the land with Pei Ping. How can Pei Gong's ready-made achievements be given to others? The request was denied. However, a few days later, the Malay newspaper said: "Ziying killed Zhao Gao, and now there are soldiers guarding the pass, and our soldiers are not allowed to advance." Pei Gong wanted to send 20,000 troops to attack the fortification, and Zhang Liang offered a plan: "Now the Qin soldiers are still strong and cannot be underestimated. The minister heard that Han Rong, the general of Qin, was the son of the Tu family, and he had no great ambitions and was easily moved by profit. Now it is advisable to send people to offer Han Rong with gold and silver treasures, saying that he can win only by surrendering. Pei Gong did as he said.

Han Rong held on to his retreat. Suddenly, the envoy sent by Pei Gong arrived, and Han Rong summoned him to see him. After seeing Han Rong, Li Sheng said: "Today, Qin Wudao abuses the people, and the whole world joins forces to fight against it, and it is not Dupei Gong alone. If the general is willing to cherish the suffering of millions of living beings in the world, and switch off the surrender of Pei Gong, Pei Gong will protect the righteous emperor, and he will reward thousands of gold, seal ten thousand households, and reward the general for his merits. Han Rong said: "I have been eating Qin Lu for a long time, and I have carried it unjustly." Li Shiqi said: "Although the general does not surrender, Pei Gong is also deeply virtuous, and is willing to use his daughter and the general as a reward for virtue." Han Rong said: "I and Pei Gong are enemy countries, how can I be justified in receiving money?" Li Shiqi said: "The public is not subject to this today, it is because of the love with Pei Gong." He went to the pass every day to attack the princes, and it was expected that this pass would be difficult to protect, how would the princess meet at that time? If you don't accept this gift today, you think that the feelings of the day after tomorrow will be thought about by the public! Han Rong said: "And the right to accept this gift, I still hope that Duke Pei will make peace with the princes and dismiss the army, so as not to cause misery." This gentleman's virtue is also. Li Shiqi said: "A certain and Pei Gong conveyed this intention, Pei Gong elder, will be able to see and follow." ”

After Li Shiqi finished speaking, he offered many treasures. Han Rong was really overjoyed when he saw it.

Li Shiqi returned to see Pei Gong and prepared for the future. Zhang Liang said: "At this time, Han Rong and I will make peace, and there will be no equipment in the army, and our soldiers will take advantage of their slack to attack them, and they can win a complete victory." "Pei Gong is good. Then he quietly led troops to attack the Qin camp.

But it was said that after Han Rong received the gold, he drank all day long and was unprepared, Fan Hao and others rushed to the pass to kill the Qin soldiers, Han Rong was defeated and returned to Xianyang to play the previous events, Ziying was shocked when he heard it, and said to the ministers: "How is this matter?" A doctor Bi Ge came out of the class and said: "The matter is in danger! His Majesty wants to save the lives of a city, so he can only go out of the palace to greet Pei Gong and avoid the disaster of his own Yi clan. The child cried and agreed. Then he rode on a white horse in a plain car, tied it around his neck with a tie, and stood beside the road with the seal of the Son of Heaven. Pei Gong was overjoyed at first sight. Ziying said: "The infant has no virtue in his reign, and when he heard that the general's chariot drove westward, he was willing to surrender to the people." "Yan Yan sent the jade seal to Pei Gong. Pei Gong said: "Once you have surrendered, I will not harm the life of Emperor Yi." The child listened to it. Poor Ziying only had forty-six days as the king of Qin, and the Qin state was destroyed.

A few more words about the jade seal of the country:

However, it is said that after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he ordered Prime Minister Li Si to carve a jade seal, on which were written "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight insects and birds small seal characters. "Ordered by heaven" is the embodiment of the idea of divine authority of the monarch, which means that the emperor has been recognized by God, and his rule over the common people is reasonable and authoritatively certified. "Longevity and eternal prosperity" is two meanings, referring to the health and longevity of the people of Limin, and the national fortune of the dynasty can be prosperous forever. The heirloom jade seal has been sought after by successive emperors, partly because it was a token of power used by China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, and partly because of its own material and the legendary experience behind it.

In the high school Chinese textbook, part of the content of "Historical Records: The Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru" is excerpted, including the story of returning to Zhao. When the King of Qin heard that the treasures of the world and the clan were owned by the king of Zhao, he wanted to exchange fifteen cities, Lin Xiangru took the treasures to the Qin state, and found that the king of Qin was not sincere, and finally secretly sent the He clan bi back, and he was saved from being killed. He's Bi was originally not a thing of the Zhao State, and the origin was the Chu State. When Bian He, a Chu person, was chopping wood in Jingshan, he found a phoenix perched on a stone, and it disappeared without a trace after a short time. It stands to reason that such a noble species as the phoenix must not be looked down upon in ordinary places, and it does not live in a place without treasures.

Bian He brought Puyu back and took the initiative to hand it over to the country, wanting to be promoted and raised, win Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life. When King Chu Li learned the news, he handed it over to an authoritative jade worker for appraisal, this expert was not very good, he didn't know the goods at all, and told King Chu that it was just an ordinary stone. King Li was furious and cut off Bian He's left foot for the crime of bullying the king. After a few years, King Wu of Chu succeeded to the throne, and Bian He handed over Puyu to the country. King Wu also sent an expert to appraise it, and the answer he got was the same as before, and he cut off Bian He's right foot again. More than fifty years later, King Wen of Chu ascended the throne, Bian He heard that the new leader had come to power, changed his routine, he did not take the initiative to find the government, he was afraid that King Wen would not know the goods, so he cut off his hands, so he cried at the foot of the mountain for three days and three nights with the treasure, and the tears dried up, and even cried blood.

King Chu Wen hurriedly sent someone to understand the situation, Bian He said that it was nothing if his leg was broken, mainly because he had grievances, and Puyu, which was obviously good, had to be said to be a stone. King Chu Wen hurriedly sent experts to identify it, this time it was not a brick family, and the result was given: it was indeed a rare jade in the world. Because it was discovered by Bian He, this treasure was named "He's Bi", and the king of Chu took him as his own, and later rewarded it to Xiangguo Zhaoyang as a treasure. The clinker and Shibi disappeared not long after, Zhaoyang suspected that Zhang Yi stole it, and Zhang Yi was beaten hundreds of times without admitting it. Since then, it has disappeared for more than 50 years, and suddenly appeared in the Zhao Kingdom, where the King of Zhao bought it with 500 gold, regarded it as a pearl in his palm, and was also eyed by the kings of other countries.

The king of Qin did not deceive the Heshi Bi from Lin Xiangru's hands, but used strong force to defeat the Zhao State, and before Qin Shi Huang unified China, he had already obtained the Heshi Bi, because Li Si clearly said in the "Book of Exhortations to the Guest": "Your Majesty to Kunshan's jade, there is an easy-going treasure, the pearl of the bright moon, and the sword of Tai'a", and the easy-going treasure is He's Bi. How amazing is this piece of jade? In summer, the temperature is particularly low, which can exude a burst of coolness; In winter, the temperature is relatively high, so it can be used for heating. Wait until the night, and it will glow. I have to say that this product is too powerful, a piece of He's Bi is equivalent to an air conditioner, a hand warmer plus a lamp, no wonder King Chu, King Zhao, King Qin can't put it down.

In order to make better use of He's bi, Qin Shi Huang ordered Li Si to engrave a jade seal for the country. One year, Ying Zheng inspected the place, took a boat through Dongting Lake, suddenly the wind was fierce, the waves crashed on the shore, in a panic, Qin Shi Huang threw the jade seal of the country into the water, hoping to be blessed by the gods. All of a sudden, it's as if nothing had happened, and it's amazing. Qin Shi Huang asked the doctor, who is the immortal Xiangjun around here? The doctor told him that he was Yao's daughter and Shun's wife, and Qin Shi Huang was furious, believing that Xiangjun was deliberately trying to embarrass him, disturbing the holy driver, and ordered 3,000 prisoners to cut down all the trees on Xiangshan as punishment.

One night eight years later, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty came back from a business trip in Kanto, passing by Huayin Pingshu Road, and suddenly someone took a treasure and asked the envoy to bring it to the emperor, and said: "This year the ancestral dragon died", the envoy was about to ask to understand, that person seemed to have evaporated from the world. In desperation, the envoy handed over the treasure to Qin Shi Huang and told him what he had seen and heard. Qin Shi Huang saw that it was the heirloom jade seal that was thrown at Dongting Lake eight years ago. Although the treasure was lost and recovered, Yingzheng couldn't be happy, Zulong died this year! Zu is the meaning of the first, the source, and the beginning; The dragon refers to the emperor, this year's ancestral dragon death means that the first emperor is going to die this year, the gods in order to retaliate for his behavior of cutting down the trees in Xiangshan, decided to return the jade seal of the country, and no longer bless himself and the Great Qin River. The First Emperor was unwilling to accept this fact, so he had to say: "The ancestral dragon is the first of men!" "Zulong refers to ancestors, not me! Don't be foolish! The mouth says no, but the body is very honest. He also called in a sorcerer to see how to turn evil into good fortune. The hexagram showed that it was more auspicious to travel and migrate, so he ordered 30,000 people to relocate and travel again. Unfortunately, the gods did not let him go after all, and finally died in the sand dunes.

The jade seal of the country could not bless the Qin Dynasty with longevity and Yongchang, and in just a few years, Liu Bang led the army into Xianyang. Ziying had no choice, so she obediently gave the jade seal of the country to Pei Gong.

Since Pei Gong was surrendered by his son, the generals said: "The King of Qin tortured all the people, and the crime cannot be punished, why did Pei Gong indulge in it?" Pei Gong said: "King Huai thought I could be tolerant, so I made Xiluo here; And the people have surrendered, and it is ominous to kill. So he entered the city to settle the people, and rewarded the three armies.
