Fu Su (real name Zhao Fu Su, ?) –210 BC), courtesy name Ying, often known as Gongzi Fusu, was the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang.
Fu Su was brave and brave, believed and courageous, benevolent, and had political foresight, often advising his father, and later angered Qin Shi Huang for opposing the killing of "more than 460 forbidden people", and was sent to Shangjun to supervise the army and assist the general Meng Tian in building the Great Wall and defending against the Xiongnu. In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died of illness during a parade, and before his death, he ordered Fu Su to take the throne, and the Zhongche Government ordered Zhao Gao and Xiang Xiang Li Si and others to fear that after Fu Su ascended the throne, it would be unfavorable to them, so He Hu Hai ascended the throne and corrected the edict to give Fu Su death as the first emperor. Fu Su mistakenly believed that it was true, did not dare to disobey his father's will, and committed suicide.
Fu Su, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, his mother was a nobleman of the Chu state, and his noble birth was envied by many people. In Sima Qian's historical records, fusu was evaluated as "fusu is a benevolent person" and "resolute and courageous, and faithful and courageous." It can be seen that Fu Su is a talented man who grew up in a favorable environment.
In 212 BC, warlocks commented on Qin Shi Huang's tyranny, and Qin Shi Huang personally disposed of more than 400 people he had captured and buried them alive. As soon as this matter came out, Prince Fusu rushed to persuade Qin Shi Huang. It was only that in the end, Qin Shi Huang was satisfied to listen to it. The persuasion of Prince Fusu made Qin Shi Huang very disappointed, as a royal descendant, he could not be too benevolent or too cruel
Qin Shi Huang thought that Fu Su Gongzi was too benevolent, and it was because of Fu Su's persuasion that Qin Shi Huang changed his opinion of Fu Su. Qin Shi Huang sent Fu Su to assist Meng Tian in repairing the Great Wall and fighting against the Xiongnu in the north. Fu Su went to the harsh and remote north, met the leader of the Meng family army, Meng Tian, and became friends with him, and there were 300,000 Qin troops around him, which was also a good life in a place far away from the court. In a remote area, Fu su's life was not bad, but at this time, Qin Shi Huang died
Qin Shi Huang died, and after his death, he still gave him a testament. The edict is full of fusu and mengtian sins, and at the end, he is ordered to commit suicide to apologize. In contrast, Meng Tian persuaded Fu Su that this holy will may be false, and Fu Su should lead 300,000 troops into the city to find out. But Fu Su went into the inner chamber crying, took out his sword, and finally killed himself. The eldest son of a dignified man, who was supposed to be the future Ninth Five-Year Supreme, finally killed himself.
This is a pity, if Gongzi Fusu is still alive, why doesn't he rebel against the 350,000 soldiers he has? In fact, this is the influence of the idea that in that era, the king wanted to die, and the subject had to die, Fu Su advocated Confucianism, according to historical records, his self-thinking was very different from this idea of Qin Shi Huang, he advocated a gentle means to govern the country, if Fu Su succeeded to the throne, the Qin Dynasty would not die at the same time.
Qin Shi Huang was a great talent, and handed over Meng Tian and 300,000 troops to him, the original intention was to cultivate the prestige and strength of Fu Su, and it could also deter the four sides in case someone usurped the throne! In time, Fu Su had no military and political vision, which led to the destruction of the Qin Dynasty!
