Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 40 The First Emperor Personally Convicted Zhao Gao

Because of one sentence: the golden elixir is highly poisonous, the first emperor died young, and died tragically in the sand dunes at the age of 49.

Alchemist Xu Fu was chopped into meat and fed to dogs!

Thousands of warlocks were all executed tonight, causing a bloodbath in Xianyang City.

The host Lin Feng sighed.

The character of the ancient emperors, killing millions in one rage, is really not comparable to modern people.

This program that goes back to China and talks about the history of the pre-Qin period is still going on.

Questions about Qin Shihuang.

Lin Feng replied:
"Xu Fu didn't lead his troops to the east and didn't reach Penglai overseas. It's a good thing; even if it affects the long river of history and affects the later time and space of China, Xu Fu deserves death!"

Qin Shihuang looked at the young man from after 2000 and asked, "Why?"

Qin Shihuang was confused.

Just a little Xu Fu!

What big impact can it have on the future generations of China?

Can future generations bear hatred?
"In the future, Xu Fu will lead three thousand boys and girls to Dongying, and his descendants will take root in Dongying."

"Thousands of years later, they will invade China and kill hundreds of millions of people in China!"

"That is a history of blood and tears in China, so Xu Fu deserves to die, and it is not an exaggeration to cut him into pieces."

……

Qin Shihuang nodded, and then issued orders: "Call Li Si to enter the palace, and Zhao Gao to enter the palace."

while waiting.

Qin Shihuang said again, "Let Hu Hai get over here."

Tonight, the first emperor was moody, irritable and ruthless, which scared the eunuchs trembling.

Nobody knows who will be next.

Hu Hai, who was sleeping soundly, approached the hall with a dazed expression, completely unaware of what happened!
Hu Hai rubbed his eyes and asked, "Father, what can I order?"

"Unfilial son, get over here..."

Qin Shihuang shouted loudly, Hu Hai was so frightened that he almost lost his wits, and even crawled to Qin Shihuang's body.

What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

Qin Shihuang was actually enforcing the family law.

Ancient family law.

It's no different from modern times, the old ones beat the young ones to death.

He beat and cursed under his breath:
"Unfilial son, let you kill your brother, let you be ignorant, you can't even keep the foundation of your ancestors, and you were abused by a mere eunuch, and you lost your ancestors. I can't beat you to death today."

Hit children as early as possible, the words of the ancestors really make sense.

Poor Hu Hai came in with a dazed look on his face, and then left with his butt ripped apart.

Hu Hai felt wronged by being beaten for no reason. He hasn't done anything bad recently, right?

Is Hu Hai bad?
Not necessarily, it's just that after Zhao Gao forcibly pushed him to the throne, his heart changed.

At this time, he was still a childish child, not as vicious as described in the history books.

"Your Majesty, Li Si, pay my respects."

"Old slave Zhao Gao, pay homage to His Majesty."

"Long live, long live..."

Li Si and Zhao Gao entered the palace according to the order.

Noticing the heavily armored sergeants around them, the two looked at each other with a bad premonition in their hearts.

Qin Shihuang lowered his eyes, his sharp eyes fell on Zhao Gao and Li Si, and at the same time, he recalled Lin Feng's words in his mind.

Thinking that these two people were the chief culprits of Qin II's death, Qin Shihuang's eyes burst out with cold killing intent.

"Come on, take Zhao Gao and Li Si down!" Qin Shihuang shouted loudly.

what!
The two looked stunned!

Kneeling on the spot, still doubting their lives, a Daqin soldier rushed over aggressively and put a sword on their necks.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I have done my best for Da Qin, and I have never slacked off for a moment. Why did Your Majesty kill my minister?"

The two immediately began to beg, feeling very aggrieved.

Although the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die.

But there must be a reason, right?

Qin Shihuang didn't explain, but just ordered the sergeant to bring a deer.

Soon a fawn was brought over.

In the Xianyang Ancient Palace filled with ancient rhyme, everyone looked at this little deer, wondering what their Majesty was going to do?
The audience who watched the show started talking after seeing this scene.

"Good guy, did you really bring a deer?"

"Hey, fortunately the allusion is not "referring to a tiger as a cat", otherwise you can't find a tiger?"

"Based on the conscience of this show, I think even a five-clawed golden dragon can do it."

"Isn't that right? In history, the allusion of referring to a deer as a horse is not Zhao Gao, the great eunuch with great power?"

"This time, the first emperor is afraid that he will have a murder."

"I'm also stupid, Qin Shihuang wants to point a deer into a horse?"

"The people who eat melons are still worrying so much, so let me ask you, do you want to watch it?"

"Well, it seems interesting too."

……

When Lin Feng said the allusion of "referring to a deer to a horse", Zhao Gou was destined to die.

Zhao Gao got involved in the imperial power and slaughtered the descendants of the Ying family.

How should such a person be dealt with?

Let alone Qin Shihuang, be any emperor.

will kill.

must kill.

Even if Zhao Gao didn't do these things, he must die.

What's more, if you wait for him to make it, it will be too late.

The main hall was extremely quiet, even dead silent to the extreme.

Zhao Gao sensed that something was wrong, because Qin Shihuang's angry eyes stared at him again and again, making him feel cold all over his body.

He wanted to ask for mercy.

But the first emperor didn't speak, you, a eunuch and slave, dare to speak?

Besides, he didn't even know what he had done!He couldn't even find a reason to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Qin Shihuang snorted coldly, pointed at the little deer, and said as if torturing his soul:

"Zhao Gao, is this a deer or a horse?"

The historic scene that should come, has arrived.

The other eunuchs and sergeants looked stunned, not understanding that the Great Qin Emperor would ask such a question.

This is not a deer, is it a horse?
Zhao Gao knelt on the spot, weeping, his whole body trembling with fear.

He is a genius.

Knowing how to figure out the emperor's mind, knowing that His Majesty asked such a question, no matter how I answered it, it would be wrong.

In a few seconds, cold sweat the size of a bean oozes from Zhao Gao's forehead.

He dared not answer!
Qin Shihuang was condescending, and immediately glared, and said:

"Dog slave, I will give you another chance, is this a deer or a horse?"

Zhao Gou was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what will happen if the old slave answers wrongly?"

Qin Shihuang sneered, "If you don't answer, I will punish you for a serious crime immediately!"

When he made such a move, it was obvious that he was going to put Zhao Gao to death.

Zhao Gao shouted bravely, "Go back, go back to Your Majesty, this is a deer."

Qin Shihuang said with an expression of success, "This is clearly a horse, Zhao Gao, you got it wrong!"

Zhao Gao's pupils contracted violently, and he asked, "Your Majesty, this is clearly a horse!"

"Damn."

"You little slave, how dare you question me, how bold you are!"

Qin Shihuang yelled, "It's a higher crime to deceive the emperor. Originally, I just wanted to cut you into pieces, but now I want you to be scorched to death!"

The torture of burning and scalding is a kind of torture.

Burn the copper pillar with charcoal fire, make people crawl on the pillar, that is, fall on the charcoal and burn to death.

The pain of this kind of punishment is no less than that of Ling Chi. After heating the copper pillar with fire and scalding the person to death, it can be described as inhumane.

Zhao Gao let out a scream, as if his soul had been pulled out, and he collapsed to death on the ground.

He was so desperate that he wailed and shouted, "Your Majesty, this old servant serves His Majesty with no other intentions!"

He wanted to die to understand.

Qin Shihuang scolded, "There are descendants who have traveled through 2000 years and talked to me about the future of the world, saying that you are a dog slave, and you will join hands with Li Si in the future. bit!"

"The two of you will commit crimes against the superiors, control the government, and bring disaster to Great Qin."

"Especially Zhao Gao, you little dog slave, who in court denounced a deer as a horse and frightened all officials, do you think you deserve to die?"

……

Hear this.

The sergeant commander who was in charge of guarding the main hall and who had been loyal to the Qin Dynasty for generations gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush forward and chop Zhao Gao up with a knife.

Liston was impatient.

The act of treason mentioned by the emperor did not happen!

At this time, they noticed Lin Feng who was not far away, and noticed this young man in strange clothes.

"From after 2000?"

Li Si gasped, before he could question, Qin Shihuang didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Drag this dog slave and throw it into the tiger and leopard cage I domesticated. Thoroughly investigate the Zhao and Gao clans, detain them all, and serve them with severe punishments."

Heavy.

In the Great Qin Empire, it meant death.

This is the rhythm of the Yi tribe.

Zhao Gao was like a discouraged ball, his face was pale and pale, like five thunderbolts.

Throwing it into a tiger and leopard cage will definitely be torn to pieces by wild beasts, and one can imagine the bloody end.

Qin Shihuang ordered again:
"Put Li Si in prison, and I will personally interrogate him in the future."

For Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao was a slave, and he died when he died, and there is no shortage of eunuchs in Xianyang.

Li Si is different, the representative of the Legalists, with top abilities, Daqin cannot do without him for the time being.

After all the sergeants and eunuchs left, the huge palace returned to deserted.

Lin Feng stood up and said, "Emperor Shihuang, in fact, the biggest reason for the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty is not anyone else, but you!"

He had to talk.

This eternal emperor is also a tyrannical and ruthless king. Lin Feng was really afraid that his anger would hurt innocent people.

If this period of history fluctuates too much.

Lin Feng was not sure whether it would affect the history of modern times in later generations.

It is most appropriate to hold the "black pot" on the head of the first emperor. You, an emperor who never bows his head, can't kill yourself, right?
