Hu Hai, the younger son of Qin Shi Huang, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the word "Hu Hai" is his name, Qin Shi Huang is called Yin Zheng, and the whole people of Hu Hai are called Win Hu Hai, but in the names circulated in later generations, they habitually ignore the surname, directly call it Hu Hai, call it Hu Hai.
The impression left by Hu Hai of Qin II to posterity is that he is insensitive and useless tyrant, and his various evil deeds seen in the history books make people shudder; Chinese say that "at the beginning of man, nature is good", Hu Hai is not a bad person who beats the mother and comes out, in addition to personal personality factors, it is more of a bad growth environment, which makes Hu Hai change from a child who does not understand kindness to a cruel and cold-blooded monarch.
The young Hu Hai was an uncarved piece of jade, and Qin Shi Huang chose the wrong jade carving
Hu Hai was the youngest of Qin Shi Huang's many heirs, Fu Su, Gongzi Gao, gongzi Lu had grown into a mature and stable young talent, Hu Hai was still a lively and active, innocent child who liked to be mischievous, according to a palace banquet, the brothers all withdrew from the banquet, Hu Hai saw all kinds of shoes placed on the ground, playful hair was left behind, and a foot was stepped on each shoe.
At that time, Hu Hai was not only innocent and harmless, but also received such beautiful evaluations as "kindness and benevolence", "light wealth and heavy soil", "argument in the heart and praise in the mouth", and so on, And Qin Shi Huang loved this lovely old man very much, and carefully selected a good teacher to teach Hu Hai.
What created people was that the so-called good teacher chosen by Qin Shi Huang was Zhao Gao, who was originally a relative of the Qin clan, because his mother was punished for the crime, and Zhao Gao spent his childhood in the asylum of the prisoner's family, and later Qin Shi Huang saw that he was diligent and proficient in Qin law, so he made him the legal tutor of his young son Hu Hai.
Zhao Gao is good at greeting, winning Hu Hai's favor and trust, and even worship, it can be said that Zhao Gao has played a great influence on the formation of Hu Hai's three views and views of right and wrong, and it is also hu Hai's original wish to move towards violence.
It is recorded in the "Records of History" that Zhao Gao tried to teach Hu Haishu and the laws and decrees, and Hu Hai was fortunate to do so. Hu Hai's education from childhood to adulthood was basically a legal precept, and Zhao Gao never taught him that there was "kindness" or "benevolence" in addition to the law.
The "Anthology of Literature" volume 52 Cao Yuanshou "Six Generations Theory" writes that "less practice and mean teaching", mean is synonymous with the legalist thought and Qin law, Qin Law only attaches importance to the harsh punishment of harsh officials, excluding all similar Confucian culture, this almost brainwashing education model, the children cultivated must be distorted thinking, extreme personality.
After Hu Hai came to power, he was cruel and unkind, and took people's lives
When Qin Shi Huang died, the mausoleum had not yet been built, and the finishing work was completed by the successor emperor Hu Hai, according to statistics, the number of people involved in the construction of the Shi Huang Mausoleum reached as many as 700,000 people at the largest time, and the laborers hurt their wealth, not to mention, at that time, the folk popular folk song "Transporting stones to Ganquankou, Weishui did not dare to flow, thousands of people sang, ten thousand people praised", it is said that Hu Hai buried the core craftsmen of the last batch of mausoleum construction in the imperial tomb;
In addition, Hu Hai also decreed that "the palace women who did not leave children for Qin Shi Huang could not leave the palace", so nearly a hundred palace women were led to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and brutally killed, according to archaeological findings, the corpses were damaged to varying degrees, some heads were hit, and some legs became crosses... This living burial is simply appalling!
The large-scale martyrdom can also be forcibly explained as Hu Hai's filial piety, but he is still cruel to his own siblings, Hu Hai forced Fu Su to commit suicide and ascended the throne as emperor, afraid that the princes would crusade against his own succession, cruelly killed all the heirs of Qin Shi Huang, not even his daughters, originally born with the same roots, why is he too anxious?
Hu Hai stubbornly believed that the rule of law was a long-term solution for governing the country, blindly increasing the punishment imposed by the law on the people, including the construction of Lishan Mountain and Afang Palace, which greatly aggravated the people's taxation and servitude, and the polarization was serious; the neglect of the people's needs and the excessive respect for the criminal law directly aggravated the contradictions with the masses of the people; Hu Hai's excessive paranoia about "prison laws and legal affairs" led to a serious imbalance in his knowledge system and left a curse for his concept of governing the country.
Spoiled and betrayed, paid the price of his life, and withered the rule of the Qin Dynasty!
The discussion of "referring to deer as horses" in Wang Fu's "Theory of Hidden Husbands": Zhao Gaozhuan Qin will kill the second, but first show power to the public. Sacrifice the deer to the king, thinking that it is a horse. 2nd Zhan zhizhi: Deer. Gao Yue: Horses. The second looked at it alone, and said: Misguided? Its deer also. High school to Ema. Ask the courtiers, courtiers or helper II instead of Gao, Gao Yinbai II: This is all the lord of confusion, disloyalty is great. Kill them all. It seems that Zhao Gao's "lies" became the "facts" of the imperial court.
Zhao Gao showed his best in this, but the second "looked at it alone". The blatant challenge to authority, the hesitation of the second proves that the right is resisted, and finally the "helpers" are killed by Zhao Gao, and those who survive are those who stand in Zhao Gao's column, then the second or so has no supporters, is weak, has no one to rely on, and has become Zhao Gao's puppet, or that hu Haishi has been his puppet since the day of Zhao Gao.
Until the day Hu Hai went to self-immolation, he still trusted Zhao Gao without complaint or regret, and eventually became a victim of Zhao Gao's power, perhaps at the last moment of his life, he did not understand how the most trusted teacher could kill himself.
Hu Hai's life was indeed a failure, under zhao Gao's failed governing strategy education, step by step into the abyss of eternal disaster, many acts of injustice will kill themselves, Hu Hai eventually went to extinction, but also withered the efforts of generations of ancestors of the Qin state!
