As the saying goes: one dragon gives birth to nine children, and nine children are different. This statement is absolutely true when it is put on Qin Shihuang, who is consistent throughout the country. Qin Shihuang had more than 30 children in his life, among which Fu Su, the eldest son, and Hu Hai, the youngest son, were the most recorded in history books.
Fu Su is a man of "perseverance, courage, strong trust and hard work", but he often remonstrates Qin Shihuang's resolutions in front of so many civil and military ministers in the court, which makes Qin Shihuang very unhappy every time, so he sent Fu Su to frontier fortress Shang Jun, built the Great Wall with Meng Tian and attacked Xiongnu.
Hu Hai, the youngest son, was treated differently.
First of all, when Hu Hai was born, Qin Shihuang was thirty-one. Qin Shihuang had already passed the stage of being a "strict father". When Hu Hai was born, Qin was as stable as Mount Tai. Although Qin Shihuang was still busy with state affairs, his father was in great pain, and Hu Hai was unable to do so. For Qin Shihuang, who insists on being highly alert to people, it won't be very hard to be with him, so Qin Shihuang has no plans for this.
Besides being young, Hu Hai is also different from his brothers in education. Although Qin Shihuang found him a first-class teacher in calligraphy and the rule of law at that time, Qin Shihuang did not test his knowledge at all. Plus, his mother died early, except Zhao Gao restrained him, and the rest were his followers who made him happy.
There is a saying that noisy children have candy to eat. Hu Hai is the noisy child. "The New Preface" records that after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and unified the whole country, he gave a big banquet and entertained his ministers. Princes also received gifts of wine and meat. According to the rules, after the banquet, the princes left first.
You know, in ancient times, when we ate and drank separately, we all sat on the floor, so our shoes naturally took off outside the hall. After all the princes walked out of the hall, they were ready to leave. Only in Hu Hai did they see the neatly packed shoes on the ground and suddenly ran up and kicked around. This behavior made the big brothers shake their heads again and again, feeling that the truth was too irregular. But Hu Hai was very funny when he saw his shoes being kicked at sixes and sevens, and he kept laughing. Later, someone informed Qin Shihuang about it. Qin Shihuang just smiled and even said, "The child is not good." I won't pursue it.
It is because of Hu Hai's poor performance that Qin Shihuang likes to see him when he is busy, so he certainly doesn't forget to take him with him, which is why he has the beauty of escort. The parade of the Emperor of Heaven was both spectacular and atmospheric. Mainly where he went, there were not only beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains, but also the great strength of the masses. Hu Hai traveled with Qin Shihuang. Honesty is much more interesting than staying in the palace. Qin Shihuang also felt that the road with Hu Hai was not boring.
Hu Hai, however, never dreamed that escort was also beneficial. As we all know, Qin Shihuang was a workaholic. It was because of his homework day and night that he dragged down his body and finally cruised to the sand dunes. As a result, he fell ill because of exhaustion and couldn't afford to lie down. The feeling be nasty under, Zhao Gao let a person wrote a letter to Fu Su, let him go back to Xianyang to deal with the murder case, and died before he could explain more.
Zhao Gao and Li Si, the prime minister of Zuo, knew that after Fu Su succeeded to the throne, their rights of "one person below, ten thousand people above" would be deprived. Not only that, they may also be killed because of their different political views. Therefore, they had a secret discussion. In order to occupy a high position for a long time, ignorant Hu Hai is the best candidate to take over. In this way, Hu Hai was lucky. Under the arrangement of Zhao Gao and Reese, he went to Xianyang first and took over the position of Qin Shihuang.
However, where does Hu Hai know how to govern the country? Besides, I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I can't bear the pain of being an emperor. So he went to Zhao Gao and sighed: "Life is like crossing the gorge by six-horse express, and it is fleeting." Zhao Gao is a clever man, and it is most important to inspire him to have fun at once. Hu Hai couldn't put it down, so everything in the DPRK was decided by Zhao Gao, and he plunged into Epang Palace to have fun.
Zhao Gao did kill all the princes who threatened him, put cronies in secret posts, and intensified citizens' taxes in the name of Hu Hai, which made people complain, but he only staged a coup when the time was right.
However, the plan has not changed as fast. People were angry and nervous, Chen Sheng and Guangwu rebelled, and then Liu Bang and Xiang Yu attacked Xianyang on a large scale. At the moment, Zhao Gao saw that the coup was hopeless, so he surrendered to Liu Bang and sent someone to kill Hu Hai. Ironically, when Hu Hai died, he shouted loudly, "I am the real dragon emperor. How dare you kill the king!" But the people in Zhao Gaoli were too lazy to listen to him, so they handed him a long sword and told him to kill himself.
In this way, Hu Hai, Qin Shihuang's favorite youngest son, became a sinner of the Daqin Empire, which fully shows that the education mode of "father's pain" is unacceptable.
