History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 93 The ninth live broadcast begins

"Hello everyone! I am your anchor Yueyue, hello!" Su Yue started the live broadcast again and greeted with a smile.

I send my lovesickness and bright moon: Hello Yueyue!
My charming and short-lived ancestor: Hello!
Don’t let the world see white heads: Hello Yueyue!

"Today we will talk about those abominable traitors! As per the old rules, let's talk according to the times." Su Yue said as she prepared to open the folder.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: Wow Kaka, I like this topic!
Wuduyi: Yes, this is much better than before. Those ancestors can only praise, but these traitors, hehehe, I can speak out!

I don’t think about returning home at dusk: That’s right, if heaven didn’t give birth to me as a Jianxian, then eternity would be like a long night.

care: hurry up! I will definitely give them a good scolding!
Su Yue looked at the water friends who were already excited in the comment area and said: "Then let's get started! That means the first one must be Zhao Gao, please look at the PPT!"

Zhao Gao (? - 207 BC), surnamed Ying, Zhao family, a distant branch of the Zhao clan.

Eunuchs and powerful officials during the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Gaoyuan was a distant branch of the Zhao clan. Because his mother was serving a sentence in Qin, several of his brothers were living in seclusion.

Later, he served as a handyman in the palace. Because of his shrewdness, ability and proficiency in law, he was promoted by the Qin Dynasty to the rank of Order of the Zhongche Mansion, and later also served as a seal official.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao conspired with Hu Hai and Li Si to tamper with the imperial edict, make Hu Hai the crown prince, and defraud the emperor's eldest son Fusu and Meng Tian to die.

After Hu Hai became the second emperor, Zhao Gao served as Lang Zhongling and ordered Hu Hai to change the law and kill the clan members and ministers.

He also advised the Second Emperor to live in confinement without seeing his ministers. From then on, Zhao Gao specialized in government affairs. He falsely accused the Left Prime Minister Li Si of treason and had him cut in half in XY City. He was later worshiped as the Prime Minister of the Central Government. Zhao Gao deliberately treated a deer as a horse in front of the Second Emperor. The ministers who agreed with him fabricated charges and persecuted him.

In August of the third year of Qin II (207 BC), Liu Bang led a rebel army to capture Wuguan. Zhao Gao was afraid of being punished, so he and his son-in-law Yan Le forced Qin II to commit suicide in an attempt to usurp the throne and establish himself. The official refused, so he appointed Ziying as King of Qin.

Soon Zhao Gao was killed by Ziying, and the three Yi tribes were punished.

Zhao Gao started his career as an eunuch and relied on the favor of the second generation Hu Hai. He continued to wield power, was greedy and framed countless loyal people. He was the first eunuch to have exclusive power, pushed the Qin Dynasty's tyrannical and sexual politics to its peak, and accelerated the process of its demise.

Therefore, Lu Jia sighed and said, "Qin's criminal law will remain unchanged, but the Zhao family will be destroyed by death" (referring to the demise of the Qin Dynasty).

Liu Xiang, the editor of "Warring States Policy", is even more blunt: "Qin and Xin share the same surname and are kings. When they decline, they will not share the same surname as Yi, and the country will perish.

Therefore, the king's rule of the world depends on practicing the law, not on believing in the same surname. "

The article "Yan Li Pian" written by Zhao Gao, with six chapters in total, was written to formulate the legal standard script of Xiaozhuan after the reform and unification of scripts in the Qin Dynasty and a textbook for children and adolescents to learn literacy.

My charming and short-lived ancestor: ##%@@#%ahhhhh! Why did you give me a critical hit at the beginning! Zhao Gao, die! ! ! !

I am not allowed to grow old in this world: Zhao Gao should go to the eighteenth level of hell and be tortured tens of thousands of times, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!
Lonely root number three: Why doesn’t Zhao Gao, this trash, die? I want to kill him! That is to say, is there any way to make Zhao Gaoga! I really wanted to get my hands dirty.

Community of Contradictions: That’s right, Zhao Gao will die! Why does this trash live longer than Brother Zheng? I'm not convinced!
Luo Yi: This world is really unfair. Either you eat me or I eat you. This is what Han Xin said best.

Su Yue saw that most of the people in the comment area were swearing, and said, "Okay, okay, now let's see what good things Zhao Gao has done!"

In October of the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang (210 BC), the over fifty-year-old Shi Huang fell ill on his fifth tour.

As his illness worsened day by day, Qin Shihuang knew that his end had come, and his top priority was to quickly determine the appointment of a heir apparent.

Although the eldest son Fusu often disagrees with his political views, he is "resolute and brave, trusting and diligent". With the assistance of General Meng Tian, ​​he will undoubtedly be a wise king.

Moreover, according to the primogeniture system, it should also be passed down to him. The First Emperor no longer hesitated and summoned Zhao Gao, who was also in charge of the emperor's seals and issuing orders, and asked him to draft an edict for his eldest son Fusu.

At that time, Fusu was supervising the army in Shangjun (now southeast of Yulin, Shaanxi). The First Emperor ordered him to entrust the military to Meng Tian and rush back to Xianyang to preside over the funeral.

This effectively confirmed the identity of his successor.

After the edict was sealed, the First Emperor ordered Zhao Gao to send an envoy quickly. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao pretended to agree. However, because the prince Fusu had always been at odds with him, he was worried that after the prince Fusu succeeded to the throne, his personal status would be disadvantageous, and that of his younger son. Hu Hai is fatuous and ignorant. If Hu Hai succeeds to the throne, he will be easy to control.

Therefore, the imperial edict was secretly withheld.

On Bingyin in July, Qin Shihuang died on the sand dune platform (now Taitai platform in the northwest of Guangzong, Hebei Province). One evening the convoy stopped for accommodation.

Zhao Gao felt that the time had come, so he came to see Hu Hai with the withheld imperial edict and persuaded him to replace him: "Now the power is entirely in the hands of you, me and the prime minister. I hope the young master can make plans early."

Hu Hai had long dreamed of ascending the throne of the emperor, but he did not dare to act rashly due to his loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Hearing Zhao Gao's thoughtful words, he still hesitated a little and sighed: "The news of my father's death has not been announced to the world, so why bother the Prime Minister?"

Zhao Gao confidently said: "Young master, you don't have to look forward or backward any more. This opportunity must not be missed. It will never come again. This matter cannot be done without the support of the prime minister. I am willing to plan with the prime minister on your behalf."

Hu Hai agreed immediately.

Zhao Gao went straight to Li Si and confidently told him: "No outsider knows about the emperor's death. I also have the edict and talisman seal given to the eldest son Fusu. It all depends on the prime minister and Gao to decide who will be the prince. The Prime Minister will take care of it!"

Li Si was shocked and heard his intention to usurp the imperial edict and change it.

Immediately he flatly refused and said sternly, "How could you say such rebellious words?

Li Si originally came from a humble background. Fortunately, he was promoted by the emperor and became the noble man he is today.

The Emperor now entrusts the life and death of the world to you and me, how can we let him down! "

Zhao Gao saw that the frontal lobbying was ineffective, so he changed the topic and asked: "Prime Minister, in your opinion, who is better between you and General Meng Tian in terms of talent, achievements, strategy, trust in the world and Fusu's trust?"

Li Si was silent for a while and said sadly: "It's not as good as that."

Zhao Gao further probed: "The Prime Minister is a smart man, and I'm afraid he can see the stakes more clearly than Gao.

Once the eldest son takes the throne, the position of prime minister will definitely fall into Meng Tian's hands. When the time comes, will you still have a good death?
Mr. Hu Hai is kind and honest, and is indeed the best candidate to establish an heir. I hope the prime minister will carefully consider his consideration. "

Li Si was already in a state of confusion. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally compromised with Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao knew that the plan had been completed and was ecstatic. He immediately conspired with Li Si to make Hu Hai the crown prince under the pretense of the First Emperor's order. He also concocted another plan. An edict was sent to Shangjun, charging Fusu and Mengtian with the crime of "disloyalty and unfilial piety".

After Fusu received the edict, it was like a bolt from the blue. He cried loudly, turned around and returned to his tent to draw his sword and commit suicide.

Meng Tian, ​​who had always had a close relationship with the First Emperor, became suspicious of this unexpected edict and dissuaded him: "Your Majesty is currently on a tour and has not appointed a crown prince. All the princes must be watching with eagerness, implying the intention of spying.

He appointed you and me to supervise the army and guard the border, which shows the depth of trust. Today, a messenger was suddenly sent with a death order. How could I know it was not a fraud?

It's better to make a plea and find out before it's too late to die. "

The envoy had long been ordered by Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and others, and he just kept urging from the side.

Fusu committed suicide with his sword. Meng Tian refused to die unexplained, so the envoy imprisoned him in Yangzhou (today's north of Zichang County, Shaanxi Province). He handed over the military power to the deputy general Wang Li, and arranged for Li Si's cronies to serve as bodyguards before returning to resume his duties.

When Hu Hai heard that Fusu was dead, he had the idea of ​​releasing Meng Tian.

At this time, Meng Yi happened to be returning from offering sacrifices to famous mountains and rivers for the First Emperor. Zhao Gaoben had been resentful of him for a long time. At the same time, he was also worried that Meng would regain power in the future, so he slandered Hu Haijin: "The late emperor had long wanted to select a virtuous prince, because Meng Yi stopped it many times before it was implemented.

It is better to kill such people who are unfaithful and deceive the Lord, so as to avoid future troubles forever. Hu Hai believed it to be true, so he sent people to detain Meng Yi in Daidi (now northeast of Yu County, Hebei Province).

Seeing that the obstacle had been removed, Zhao Gao suggested that Hu Hai return as soon as possible to inherit the throne.

Due to the hot weather, the First Emperor's body had begun to rot, and waves of stench came from the car.

In order to deceive others, Zhao Gao ordered people to buy a large amount of abalone to cover up the smell. The group returned to Xianyang in a mighty manner, and then the funeral was announced to the world. Soon an unprecedentedly grand funeral was held.

Prince Hu Hai proclaimed himself emperor as Qin II.

Senior official Zhao was granted the title of Langzhongling and became Hu Hai's most trusted decision-maker.
