Chapter 66 The First Emperor's Defense Is Broken
The two videos he watched in a row were all about annoying people, which reduced Li Ranran's desire to watch more videos.
I hope the next video won't be like this.
【The fate of Qin Shi Huang's children】
[How miserable were the children of the first emperor of Qin Shi Huang? There are several suspected ancient tombs near the southeast side of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum.
In 1976, in Shangjiao Village, Shaanxi Province, archaeological experts discovered the tombs of Qin Shihuang's children.
There are 17 tombs in total. Each tomb has a coffin and a coffin. The burial objects are all precious, with more than 200 pieces, which can prove that the tomb owner is of noble status.
The scene in the tomb was extremely cruel, with corpses scattered around and skulls all over the floor.
The skulls and limbs had been separated, and some skulls had broken arrows stuck in them, indicating that they had suffered extremely cruel atrocities before their deaths.
Experts also found two private seals in two of the tombs, one with "Yin Ji" engraved on it and the other with "Rong Lu" engraved on it.
It is speculated that these people were the children of Qin Shi Huang. Why did they, who were extremely noble, die without a complete body? Why did they suffer such treatment?
[The instigator of all this was Qin Shi Huang's eighteenth son, Hu Hai.
Qin Shihuang died of illness in Shaqiu during his fifth tour of the country without appointing a crown prince.
So the eunuch Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si tampered with the imperial edict, ordered the death of Qin Shihuang's eldest son Fusu and general Meng Tian, who were resisting the Huns in the northern border, and then placed the eighteenth son Hu Hai on the throne.
After Hu Hai ascended the throne, he was afraid that Qin Shihuang's other princes would become suspicious, so under the instigation of Zhao Gao, he carried out a massive purge of all the princes.
The three brothers of Prince Jianglu were ordered to commit suicide.
The twelve princes who were publicly executed in Xianyang and the six princes who were executed in Du County were collectively killed and displayed to the public.
In order to protect his family, Prince Gao requested to be buried alive with Qin Shihuang at the foot of Mount Li. Hu Hai then gave him 100,000 coins to allow him a grand burial.
In order to consolidate his rule and prevent his married sisters from joining forces with their betrothed husbands' families to fight against him, Hu Hai "chopped to death" all ten sisters in Du County.
Therefore, all of Qin Shi Huang's children, except Hu Hai, were not spared. 】
[So was Hu Hai's rule consolidated and stabilized?
No. Qin Shi Huang probably didn't expect that the world he had conquered after several generations of Qin kings would collapse just three years after his death.
Meng Yi, Meng Tian, Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and General Feng Jie committed suicide, and Prime Minister Li Si was beheaded in Xianyang for treason.
Hu Hai eventually became a puppet emperor and was forced to death in the palace by Zhao Gao's son-in-law Yan Le.
Zhao Gao was also killed by the Qin King Ziying, whom he had helped to establish the throne.
When King Ziying of Qin ascended the throne, the princes rose up everywhere, and the nobles of the six kingdoms restored their kingdoms and fought against Qin. In just 46 days, Liu Bang led his army to break through Wuguan and Yaoguan, approached Xianyang, and stationed troops at Bashang.
Ziying had no choice but to surrender to Liu Bang with "a rope tied around his neck, a white horse and a plain carriage, and the emperor's seal and token."
Finally, he was killed by the Overlord Xiang Yu. 】
＜Not appointing an heir is inherently dangerous. Death is an unexpected thing, and you never know when you will die.＞
＜ Those people in the six countries were secretly making small moves, and Hu Hai just catalyzed them.＞
＜ If the heir was a normal person, not a psychopath like Hu Hai, he would not have died so quickly＞
＜ Zhang Han was able to defeat the rebels with a group of prisoners. If it hadn't been for Xiang Yu, the Qin State could have survived for a while. ＞
＜The Qin Law during Hu Hai’s time was not the Qin Law during Qin Shi Huang’s time…＞
＜ The policy implemented by Qin Shi Huang just after the unification was to "suspend the criminal law and reduce taxes."＞
＜Hu Hai has cerebral palsy [no doubt]＞
＜Even the old Qin people in Guanzhong welcomed Pei Gong, which shows that Qin was unpopular at that time＞
＜Killing one's own clan is really stupid. At that time, Qin Shi Huang had just died, and he killed ministers and clan members, and also imposed corvée labor and amended the law, so that in the end there was no one around him... ＞
＜But in the end, it is still "the Qin law is still followed for hundreds of generations" and "Confucianism outside and legalism inside" ＞
Although the military merit system made Qin stronger, it was also very harmful. Qin had only this channel to rise. After unifying the six kingdoms, they needed a new war.
＜Hu Hai was really amazing. It only took him three years to drag the Qin Dynasty to be buried with him［eat melon］＞
＜ Even if Qin Shi Huang was alive, he would have died in the end, just at a later time＞
＜No, you really don’t know about history, you just talk without thinking. You should learn more about Qin bamboo slips＞
＜You really underestimated how speechless Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were…＞
＜ Each era has its own mission. Qin Shi Huang unified the world, which made the rulers of all dynasties think about unity rather than division＞
＜There are some bad comments in the comment section. I would like to remind everyone not to "deify" or "stigmatize" any historical figures＞
＜Compared to "the greatest emperor of all time", I prefer Li Zhi's evaluation of him: "Whether he is a saint or a devil is not to be judged lightly"＞
……
Even though he knew what the content of the video would be, Li Ranran still watched it carefully.
It's really a pity for the Qin Dynasty. It felt like it failed at the last moment. No wonder there are still people who feel sad and regretful for the death of the second emperor.
Those who watched the light screen had all heard about Hu Hai's cruelty to his brothers and sisters, but in the end they were still frightened by the visual effects conveyed by the light screen.
"People in the future love to dig up corpses!"
"Don't you feel condemned by God?"

The Qin Dynasty is about to come
The 29th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang
Xianyang
"Wow."
A young princess began to cry as she looked at the scattered corpses in the tomb shown on the light screen.
Some princes and princesses also began to discuss in a low voice, "Big brother would never do this to us."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The second generation is not the eldest brother. The eldest brother died a long time ago."
"Oh, that's right." He remembered that Tianmu had previously revealed that the eldest brother Fusu died before his father.
Everyone began to speculate who Qin II was. If he refuses to give us a complete body, then we will find him and grind his bones to ashes!
The Princess Yin Man and Prince Ronglu who were mentioned huddled together and cried to each other.
Hu Hai looked at the two people crying together and curled his lips in disdain.
I am the emperor's favorite son. My elder brother died a long time ago, so I must have the best chance of ascending the throne...
No, no, it can’t be Qin II.
Hu Hai thought of the Second Emperor's tactics and began to pray that the Second Emperor of Qin would not be him. His father loved him the most and would definitely leave a way out for him...
"It's Hu Hai!" A young man pointed at him with his hand after hearing the light curtain say that the instigator was the Eighteenth Son Hu Hai.
Hu Hai was confused. I am the second emperor of Qin? Did my father really let me succeed to the throne?
Waking up from his joy, Hu Hai looked at his brothers and sisters who were gradually gathering around him. He was a little flustered and shouted, "What do you want to do? I am the favorite child of my father!"
Yin Man laughed: "Humph, my eldest brother is the one that father loves the most! Who do you think you are..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard on the screen that his elder brother Fusu was sentenced to death by a forged imperial edict issued by Zhao Gao and Li Si.
"So this is how you became the second emperor of Qin. I was wondering how a loser like you could win over so many brothers."
After the light curtain finished telling everyone what Hu Hai had done, everyone did not hesitate and started punching and kicking Hu Hai, looking at their own tragic death in the future.
Fusu, who was in charge of government affairs in another place in Xianyang, heard that the future of Qin would be like this, so he quietly stood up and went to the princes and princesses.
Qin Shi Huangdi, who was on an eastern tour, heard that all his children were killed by Hu Hai, and his trusted ministers were also wiped out, and finally the second emperor of Qin died. He drew his sword and cut the documents in half.
Zhao Gao and Li Si had already knelt aside.
Ying Zheng didn't want to listen to them, so he ordered Zhao Gao to be dragged down and torn to pieces.
As for Li Si, he was taken away and detained temporarily.
Ying Zheng had mixed feelings about Li Si. He never expected that Li Si would join forces with Zhao Gao.
"I gave him too much power, which made him have some thoughts that he shouldn't have."
After dealing with these two people, Ying Zheng felt even more resentful when he thought that his eldest son Fusu did not die of illness at all.
"The one who destroyed Qin was Hu, but this Hu is not that Hu."
Ying Zheng could not accept that the Qin Empire was destroyed in this way. It was not caused by foreign invaders or rebels, but by its own internal collapse.
"It was because I have always been overconfident that I failed to deal with the hidden dangers." Ying Zheng still felt that he had not done well enough. He did not discover the ambitions of Zhao Gao, Li Si, Hu Hai and others in time, and did not identify the successor in time.
And he died early because he believed in the alchemists and took elixirs.
Ying Zheng stood still for a while, then called the eunuch, "Call Meng Yi here."
"Go to Pei County to find Liu Bang."
"The Xiang family is conducting a strict investigation."
"Shaofu Zhang Han is talented and should be rewarded."
"Hu Hai was torn to pieces by a chariot."
"Prime Minister Li Si was dismissed from his post and thrown into prison."
……
"Hahahaha, this is really satisfying! The tyrant Qin Ershi is indeed the biological son of Qin Shihuang."
"We have hope of restoring our country."
"It's a pity that the light curtain didn't clearly state when Qin Shi Huang died..."
