The change of the first emperor's long-term ecological degree and the death of the first emperor

One day, when the first emperor was inspecting Xianyang, he inadvertently saw several strangely dressed people, they circled around a child, and kept saying words that they didn't understand at all, only to see them turn for a while and then draw their hands out of a small mouth, several people successively put blood on the child's neck and then circled, and then leaned over the ground, babbling for a long time before getting up. The first emperor was very puzzled, so he sent the guards to investigate, and soon the guards brought news, the first emperor only then knew that those people were called witch doctors, it is said that they can spell immortality, hearing here the first emperor sank his face, when he was young, he liked to study the way of immortality, but after reading a large number of classics and what he saw and heard, he regarded the theory of immortality as a false hope. Knowing this, the First Emperor issued an order: keep a close eye on these liars, and all those who violate the law, oppress the people, and endanger the people will be imprisoned.

Three months after the order was given, it was reported that these magicians were scattered all over the country, and almost every magician was burdened with human life, and the common people obeyed the magicians, and they deceived the people. The first emperor angrily broke the bamboo stick, got up and walked, the bamboo stick recorded: they said that they could pass through the spirits, drive away evil spirits, cure all kinds of diseases, they let go of the patient's blood until the patient fainted, then said that it was the eve of recovery, and practiced medicine all over the country, according to the survey, the number of people who died because of their treatment is not counted, but the people believe in them very much. The First Emperor then ordered: secretly arrest the sorcerers of the whole country and press them to Xianyang.

In the middle of the half moon, Xianyang Guan suppressed a large number of magicians, the first emperor sent people to torture them harshly, after a few days and nights of non-stop torture finally made progress, the result of the torture made people chill and cold, when the first emperor knew the behavior of the magicians, his hands were clenched, his teeth were clenched and he walked to the side of the indoor open space to drive everyone out, pulled out the sword on his waist, and practiced in the open space, the guards and maids outside only heard the sound of the sword breaking through the air quickly and sharply, and after holding for half a moment, the first emperor walked out.

Soon the First Emperor issued an order to bury these magicians alive, and ordered the destruction of all the writings of these magicians, and of course those who had just started and did not bear the burden of human life also opened the net, ordered that they should no longer engage in this profession, and formulated cruel criminal laws to punish those small elements to suppress the development of this harmful profession in all ways and prevent its growth, in addition, the First Emperor ordered that all counties must arrange for lawyers to popularize the law among the people and conduct random inspections on time.

One day of the year, the first emperor accompanied the heirs to play in the Xianyang Palace, looking at the richly dressed children and concubines, the first emperor couldn't help but miss his mother and childhood friends suddenly a little sad, once after the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, he had sent people to find, but they were all silent, as for the mother, he would also write to her in his spare time to express his thoughts, in order to let go of these distractions, he asked the children to read the Qin law to himself, after a long time the first emperor got up and began to deal with government affairs, after the government affairs were dealt with, the first emperor thought of his mother again, and the mother was not at fault, As a woman, she raised herself alone for many years, in which the hardships are unspeakable, and people have desires, the mother did not get the favor of the father, the heart is lonely, and the use of people with a heart, if she is an ordinary woman, there is not much influence, but she is the mother of the first emperor, everything has changed, after a few days of thinking, the first emperor decided to protect them for the world's women's exclusive law, and then invited Li Si and others to discuss a law to protect women after marriage, a few hours later, the first law to protect women in Qin was born, Qin's law stipulates that after Qin's man's private affair is discovered, the wife has the right to report and punish her husband and can divorce her husband, if a man beats a woman, he will be cut off his hair and eyebrows and parade, and the man can not cry Violators will be imprisoned and continue to march, which is the earliest law about women recorded in the world, and it is also the earliest express article on the protection of women.

Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms ended the division, and at the same time, due to the rapid unification, the problems were also many and complex, the people of the original Six Kingdoms were afraid of Qin, hated the Qin people, and hated each other, and at the same time, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who surrendered to Qin had calculations, and the first emperor originally planned to remove the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and demote them to commoners, but the complex relationship between the nobles and the huge impact on the government gave up this plan. In order to solve the problem of the people of the Six Kingdoms hating Qin, the First Emperor issued an order to no longer have internal sword soldiers, and at the same time did not allow weapons to be stored in the country, so most of the weapons flowed to the border station, and the domestic swords were collected and destroyed. Later generations were amazed when they saw the arrows used by Qin, and it may be that the lack of craftsmen in the Central Plains caused the arrows used by the later dynasties of Qin to retreat by a hundred years. Under a series of measures taken by the First Emperor, the conflicts in various parts of the country were weakened, and the country was stabilized.

The first emperor in order to deter the nobles of the country will tour the world every once in a while, of course, the courtiers opposed it earlier, but the first emperor finally supported the parade The first emperor paraded a total of five times in his life, once when the parade passed by a hillside, suddenly a boulder flew to and fro in the carriage in front of the frame of the first emperor, the team quickly launched a tracking investigation, but in the end the thieves escaped, and immediately officials began to arrange, to start investigating the people of the six countries that have recently appeared around, especially the noble scholars, but was stopped by the first emperor, the first emperor just smiled faintly, Continue the cruise.

The first emperor found a teacher for his children, the eldest son Fusu found a famous Confucian, and the second son Hu Hai found a learned man named Zhao Gao. In addition to the children of the First Emperor, there are many children who have not been recorded in history, and no one knows whether those children were killed or fled in the end, which has become a mystery.

Spring went to autumn, the first emperor sitting on the throne was old, tall and heroic, he stood up, walked alone to the field where he practiced swords, and began to swing the hilt of the sword, the sound of breaking the air continued, this time he stopped swinging the sword in less than half an hour, and looked up in the direction of the original Zhao Du, where it had begun. I can't help but go back to the time when I rode a horse and chased rabbits, and now my former friends have left one after another, and my mother has not communicated for many years, and the children have grown up and traveled far away one by one, and political affairs are almost every day, and he is getting more and more tired, and he began to hand over government affairs to his children, he just approves, but despite this, the first emperor still gets up early and goes to bed late every day, thinking about problems all the time, day after day, year after year, even the iron body has to be worn out.

It has been more than ten years since the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and the people of the Six Kingdoms have basically recognized Qin, and the people's lives have begun to become rich, but there is still a gap between these and what the First Emperor wants, he hopes that every family will have a few children who are well fed and have money, and if the people are still very bitter, he will try his best to improve and suppress the nobles, and at the same time he also knows that it may take a hundred years to completely solve the hatred of the people of the Six Kingdoms, and he can't help but think that if he can live forever, he can see it.

The idea of wanting immortality grows uncontrollably, so the first emperor began to find the way of immortality, summoned the world's Taoist priests to refine medicine for him, and sent the monks to find the elixir, among which the most famous monk is Xu Fu, the first emperor rewarded Xu Fu with a lot of jewelry, built a big ship for him and sent him to find the legendary immortal mountain immortal to seek immortal medicine, in search of immortality on the way the first emperor spent a huge amount of money and spent countless manpower and material resources, and at the same time he rewarded the people, the invention discovery that was beneficial to the court, among which the explosion of Taoist alchemy was also recorded, Perhaps they never imagined that this record would change the world and make outstanding contributions to the development of society.

The First Emperor's pursuit of immortality made the earlier extinct magicians see hope, so they began their scam again, when the First Emperor learned about it, he suppressed them by strong means and executed them, because of the pursuit of immortality, the First Emperor was slack in government affairs, but it was only slack, the First Emperor still got up early and rested late to deal with government affairs and everything did not change much, but now he had to be distracted to pay attention to the news of Changsheng, because he was still that strongman, and all the anti-Qin forces in the country only had to sneak in and be afraid, for fear of being discovered in the next moment, That is to say, Chen Sheng that year, Wu Guang or Yanque did not dare to take action with his ambition of the Great Partridge, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were only a corner of the peace, even if the First Emperor was now distracted by the search for the path to immortality.

This day is as usual in the past to check all the things about immortality collected from all over the world, while looking at him while shaking his head, many of the methods on this are bizarre, such as a book that says: "The immortal eats the soil to live" and so on and so on, although most of these contents are bizarre, but the first emperor still did not give up looking for the method of immortality, and soon a few days later the first emperor inadvertently learned about the legend of the Wan people, it is rumored that the Wan people know about the immortality but their traces are difficult to find, and there are only a few short sentences of introduction. The first emperor was very excited when he heard that there were people who knew the law of immortality, so he sent people to look for it in the world, and at the same time when he was looking through the folk records, the first emperor accidentally saw the record of "Penglai Immortal Mountain", which is said to be the place where the immortals lived, and the immortals had the art of immortality in their hands, so the first emperor was looking for Wanren on the side, and while looking for candidates to go to "Penglai Immortal Mountain", if it wasn't for the first emperor to govern the world, he would probably go to find the immortal mountain in person. The first emperor's desire for immortality is high, which is very worrying to the courtiers, fortunately, although the first emperor wants to live forever, he is also keen on political affairs, and the country is still developing steadily, in addition, there have been people who pretend to be immortals to defraud the first emperor after learning about it, not only will that person tour the world, but also send his family to the frontier descendants are not allowed to set foot in the court, the first emperor such a powerful means decisively dispelled the evil thoughts of the speculators, so they are only talking about the first emperor looking for immortality, but few people talk about "immortals harm people" such things, The people were curious to know if the First Emperor could find the way to immortality.

After several months of searching, the first emperor finally found a candidate for him to find "Penglai Immortal Mountain", someone recommended to the first emperor the legendary ghost valley disciple Xu Fu, soon the first emperor met Xu Fu, this person looks like an ordinary person, the first emperor was very puzzled, so he decided to temporarily leave him to observe some time, in the following days, Xu Fu gave the first emperor some maintenance knowledge, so that the first emperor felt that this person was extraordinary, so he quickly sent him to find the "immortal" for longevity, Xu Fu was helpless in the first emperor's persecution to give some maintenance and refreshment methods, but was mistaken for extraordinary, The order has been issued, so Xu Fu took a lot of belongings and dozens of men and women to find the legendary "Penglai Immortal Mountain".

Not long after Xu Fu left, the legendary Wan people were also found, and the first emperor excitedly met with Wan people, this Wan people are different from ordinary people, and they don't look like mortals at a glance, Wan people are very arrogant, don't bow and don't speak, the first emperor is a little dissatisfied, but he is also very polite. The First Emperor said: "Sir is a legendary character, I don't know what is strange about ordinary people. Wanren said lightly: "I know a thousand years and a hundred years." The First Emperor didn't say anything more and said, "It is rumored that Mr. knows about the art of immortality, but I don't know if it is true." Wan Ren said again: "There is a way in my people. The First Emperor's face was not happy, but his trembling hands showed his excitement and excitement, and finally the First Emperor stood up and saluted him: "Lone longs for a more fulfilling life for the people in this world, but Lone cannot guarantee that there will be a character like Xia Ji among Lone's offspring, so Lone longs for immortality." After speaking, he looked at Wanren tightly, Wanren always sat and said lightly: "Lowly and mundane things cannot be immortalized." The First Emperor clenched his hands angrily and said, "What do you mean, sir?" Wan said: "To me, everything in the world is rubble and dust, and it has nothing to do with mundane things. The First Emperor said flatly: "Are all people like you?" Wan said: "I am the only one in the world who has escaped the world, and I am also the only Wan person in the world, and the gods are also me." The First Emperor slowly stepped back and said, "Will the gods die?" Wanren stayed for a while and said: I will die, but it's not you who waits... Then Wanren's head slid to the ground, his eyes widened, and his mouth remained open, only to hear the First Emperor say slowly: "It turns out that what is called a god is nothing more than that. Then the people were burned. The First Emperor sighed for a long time and said: "Immortal, when the First Emperor was lost, he accidentally learned about the Yin Yin Family's magic, so the First Emperor began to walk his own path of immortality until he died.

It lasted several years and continued to send people to search for many times, and finally the first emperor seemed to know that immortality was impossible, and gradually he began to give up immortality, he visited his mausoleum, and saw the vast clay sculpture soldiers, vivid as if they were real people, and his eyes moistened for a long time, many of these people are no longer alive, or died on the battlefield or died of old age, looking at these clay sculptures, it is inevitable to think about life, looking back on his life, the first emperor thinks that he is perfect to transcend the ancient and modern, and see the soldiers of the past grow old into the earth, Now he can only see his former handsome appearance in such a mud, and the first emperor can't bear the world in his heart, but now after the failure of his pursuit of immortality, he also understands that he will eventually become a handful of soil. At the same time, he blamed himself for abandoning them in his pursuit of immortality, and then the first emperor began to return to the court to govern the world with peace of mind, and in the following years, the country developed steadily and the people's lives improved. Just when everything was going on in form, when the First Emperor gave up the pursuit of immortality, a rumor from the Yin-Yang family technique woke up the first emperor's long-sealed dream of immortality, and the first emperor's body was not as good as before, although this is the normal state of life, but it was cruel to the first emperor, he ate a lot of supplements, ate more times a day, and handled government affairs more and more than before, and the first emperor was angry and helpless. Suddenly heard about the Yin and Yang family's records of immortality, which was like nectar for the first emperor, he carried out the final pursuit of immortality, the Yin and Yang family believed that the cause and effect of reincarnation people can be carried out after death to become immortals, so the first emperor built his mausoleum according to the requirements, which used huge materials. Finally, a few years later, the first emperor carried out his fifth tour despite the obstruction of the subjects in the court, before the first emperor did not parade, he sensed that his death was approaching, he was nostalgic for everything in the world, the land under his feet was he led the Qin people step by step to open up a huge effort to have today's stability, his heart was full of attachment, but according to the legend of the Yin and Yang family, only the soul can live forever, the body will age, and let his soul survive in a special way, which undoubtedly satisfies the first emperor's memory of the world. At this point, his body reached its limit, and the First Emperor died on the fifth parade.

It is said that the cemetery after the death of the First Emperor was a structure that was a ladder to the heavens in the Yin-Yang family and Taoism, and before the death of the First Emperor, he still longed for immortality and looked forward to achieving true immortality, and everything was a mystery.

Although the first emperor died, but his influence on the Chinese nation is permanent and long-term, his idea of unification runs through the Chinese nation, and the unification is still recognized by the world and paid and sacrificed for it, Qin created a rule of law country to influence the world, and the measures made by the first emperor to govern the world are also worth learning. Although he had mistakes, it is undeniable that he made outstanding contributions to posterity.
