There is only one such special emperor in Chinese history, who was born as a slave and started by gathering local bullies and robbing money to please local officials. Later, he followed the small officials to raise troops, and after several conquests, he opened up a territory in the Central Plains, and finally founded the country and became the founding emperor of a country. He was Shi Le, the later Zhao kaiguo monarch during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. Shi Le and his nephew Shi Hu were notoriously cruel in history, and Shi Le did not receive any education in his early years, he was illiterate, and in Chinese history, he could really start from a commoner, and finally established a state and became emperor, which shows the prominence of Shi Le's personal ability. However, no matter how brave and decisive Shi Le was, he could not avoid making many mistakes that emperors had made on the issue of establishing an heir.
Shi Le's conquest was founded in the early Sixteen Kingdoms period and at the end of the Rebellion of the Eight Kings. At that time, the kings of the Sima clan attacked each other, and rebellions and rebellions surged everywhere, which was an era of speaking with strength, and generals who were not strong enough would be in a different place in the blink of an eye. Shi Le's early followers, Gongshi Fan and Ji Sang, both died in the conquest, which is the most intimate example of Shi Le's side. Of course, this is also an era of conspiracy, and even powerful generals, if they are a little careless, will immediately be in a different place. Wang Mi and Wang Jun, who were booby-trapped and killed by Shi Le, are examples. In fact, such a murderous and chaotic era is just right for Shi Le to show his talents. Because Shi Le is a vassal of the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu are a vassal of the Han. It can be said that Shi Le's growth environment is the bottom of the bottom. If you want to live at the bottom, the set of etiquette and morality does not work, it works with violence and trickery. Such a growing environment naturally explains why Shi Le was cruel and murderous, and why he was good at conspiracy. Shi Le was also aware of his shortcomings, and he often let his literate subordinates read history books to him and learn from the books the strategies for governing the country. In order to make his son no longer suffer the loss of no culture, Shi Le hired a teacher for the prince Shi Hong and taught Shi Hong the Confucian classics. Shi Le couldn't imagine that this decision of his would push Shi Hong into the abyss in the future.
Shi Le arranged for Shi Hong to concentrate on studying, and naturally could not take him around to fight. Shi Hong lived a life of wearing clothes to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, and compared with Shi Le's early years, Shi Hong was simply a flower in the greenhouse. Later, Shi Le also felt that Shi Hong was too weak and elegant, and he was also worried. Shi Le once told Xu Guang about the gentleness of the prince, not like a general. Xu Guang took the world immediately with Han Gaozu, and Emperor Wen guarded it with Xuan Mo, and won the victory and cruelty to kill, which was inevitable for the Heavenly Dao. Shi Le was very happy to hear this, and Shi Hong's position as prince was fixed.
However, Shi Le did not consider another factor of instability on the issue of establishing an heir, that is, Shi Hu. Shi Hu was Shi Le's nephew and followed Shi Le around in his early years. Although Shi Hu was Shi Le's nephew, his military ability and strategic ability were simply a replica of Shi Le, and Shi Hu was more ruthless than Shi Le, taking pleasure in slaughtering. Later Zhao's ministers Cheng Li and Xu Guang saw that after Shi Le's death, Shi Hu was bound to rebel, and they all advised Shi Le to get rid of Shi Hu. But Shi Le said this: "Today, the peace is not peaceful, the soldiers have not yet been zhongshan, the heroes of the Zhongshan Order, the pro-Lu Wei, the Fang entrusted with the appointment of Yi Huo, how to be as Qing Yanye!" Are you Cheng Wei afraid that "you must not monopolize the power of the emperor's uncle" and make this argument? Cheng Wei then wept again to complain about the reason and informed Xu Guang. Xu Guang also suggested to Shi Le that the King of Zhongshan had no loyalty to Yi Huo, but tilted the royal family and despised the crown prince, afraid that after the Lord lived long, the Zongmiao Temple would have thorns.
Only then did Shi Le listen to the advice and ask the crown prince Shi Hong to handle shang shushi's performance, and The zhongchang attendant Yan Zhen assisted him, making decisions about daily affairs and committing major conquests and punishments before reporting to Shi Le. However, this was the year of Stone's strangulation, and although it was intended to train the prince to gain the experience of domination and control of some power, it was too late.
Later, Shi Le fell ill and died, and before he died, he instructed Shi Hu to emulate Zhou Gong and Huo Guang and assist Shi Hong well. Shi Hu agreed on his lips, but in his heart he had planned for a long time, and only waited for Shi Le to die, so he forced Shi Hong to kill the ministers Cheng Xiao and Xu Guang. Cheng Is the older brother of Shi Hong's mother and shi Hong's uncle. After dealing with Shi Hong's henchmen, Shi Hu killed his cousin Shi Hong and established himself as emperor.
Looking at the failure of Shi Lelisi, the mistakes he made were similar to those of Cao Cao, all of which were failure to let the prince undergo battlefield experience and political struggle as soon as possible, nor did he allow the prince to cultivate his own power group, so that after the prince took the throne, he was unable to grasp the power and could only be manipulated by the powerful ministers.
