What kind of person is Zhao Gao? Capable of martial arts, and not a eunuch, he has a strong sense of revenge
In many historical dramas, Zhao Gao has been portrayed as a eunuch, the reason is because of the identity of Zhao Gao's eunuch; Zhao Gao first appeared as a eunuch to serve Qin Shi Huang, and later by virtue of his diligence and agility, he was appreciated by Qin Shi Huang, and began to make steady progress, until he became the Commander of the Zhongche Prefecture; the official position of the Zhongche Fu Ling may not be very high, but it is very important, because the Zhongche Fu Ling is the emperor's attendant Che Ma Squad Leader, not only the ability to control the carriage and horses is superb, but also to protect the safety of the Emperor.
Looking at Qin Lu's requirements for the carriage and horse driving, it is not a general harshness, nothing else, if you want to become a qualified CRRC coachman, you must not only master the skill of driving the carriage and horse within fourteen years, but also require you to be under the age of forty, more than seven feet and five inches tall, with a healthy foot, able to chase galloping horses; flexible hands, able to get up and down the car; skilled in driving, able to drive back and forth; strong in body, able to control the flag on the car; strong in martial arts, able to lead eight stones to strong nu, and open bows left and right before and after the gallop.
It can be said that the Cheshi of the Crucian Palace is already the top talent of the Qin State, and there are only eight hundred Crucian Guards in the entire Qin State, so it can be imagined how powerful Zhao Gao's Crucible Fu Order is, and it can also be seen that Qin Shi Huang has a lot of weight and trust in Zhao Gao. Of course, the most basic point, Zhao Gao's own ability in all aspects, at that time in the Qin Kingdom, was definitely the top, it is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Gao did not die, the name of "invincible in the world" could not be turned by Xiang Yu.
Later, Zhao Gao was assigned by Qin Shi Huang as Hu Hai's teacher, responsible for teaching Hu Hai how to judge cases and break prisons, which shows that Zhao Gao is also quite proficient in the law; more importantly, this Zhao Gao is also a great calligrapher, and his writing of the Great Seal is very high. If Zhao Gao was just a eunuch, how could he learn so much? Of course, to prove that Zhao Gao is not a eunuch, the above things alone cannot be done, because if the eunuch works hard enough, he can do it.
But there is one thing that really other eunuchs can't do, that is, Zhao Gao has daughters, not only daughters but also wives, concubines, etc. Of course, zhao gao's people have no clear record, but Zhao Gao has a son-in-law, which is clearly recorded in history, Zhao Gao's son-in-law is named Yan Le, this Yan Le once served as the xianyang county order, and later played a crucial role in Zhao Gao's launch of the Wangyi Palace change, because this coup was planned by Zhao Gao and his son-in-law Yan Le and his younger brother Lang Zhong.
The approximate process of the whole coup d'état was that Yan Le led a thousand henchmen into the palace, and Zhao Cheng did the internal response, and finally killed Hu Hai of Qin II, and forced Hu Hai of Qin II to commit suicide. Of course, some people may also say that Zhao Gao's daughter is not a daughter, but a foster, and many eunuchs in ancient times did not have adopted sons? But here it should be known that the ancient eunuch adopted his son in order to inherit his own family business, such as Cao Teng recruited Cao Song as an adopted son, but no eunuch ever recruited an adopted daughter, which shows that this daughter should be Zhao Gao's own daughter.
In fact, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and eunuchs have always existed in the palace, and eunuchs mainly serve the emperor and belong to close subjects; and eunuchs are the real eunuchs, mainly taking care of the daily life of the emperor and the female relatives in the palace. Some people say that Zhao Gao was not born in the "Hidden Palace"? According to records, "Tianyin" is a male who has been punished and cannot be humane, but "hidden palace" is not equal to "heavenly hidden", and the "hidden palace" in the Qin Dynasty actually refers to the place where criminals gather.
In the history books of the Qin Dynasty, there is a sentence that says, "There are more than 700,000 prisoners in the hidden palace", and the Qin Dynasty will not have more than 700,000 eunuchs, right? And a more explicit record should be that "Zhao Gaokun's disciples were born in the Hidden Palace, and their mothers were tortured and degraded." The meaning is very clear, Zhao Gao was born in a gathering place of criminals (similar to a place of exile); later Zhao Gao, with unremitting efforts, eventually became a minister who held the supreme power of the Qin Dynasty.
Although Zhao Gao was a great traitor and a great evil person, it sometimes has to be said that Zhao Gao's life was also extremely inspiring; according to the Qin Law, the son of a criminal was despicable in the world, but Zhao Gao became the most trusted Zhongche Fu Ling of Qin Shi Huang. But Zhao Gao's heart was still twisted, and the purpose of everything he did was to destroy the Qin Dynasty, because when he was in the "Hidden Palace", he saw too much "darkness", the laws of the Qin Dynasty were too harsh, too harsh to be close to human feelings, although he was eventually destroyed by the three clans of the Third Son of Qin, but his purpose was completed.
