Who is the most tragic prince in history?

There are many crown princes who have been deposed and killed in history, among which there is a prince named Shi Xuan, and the one who died is called a "miserable"!

Shi Xuan was killed by his cruel old man Shi Hu, so why did Shi Hu kill his own son?

It turned out that Shi Hu killed Shi Xuan because Shi Xuan killed his younger brother Shi Tao, and Shi Xuan killed Shi Tao because Shi Tao was too arrogant. Let's take a look at the little things that are broken in this family.

It is said that emperor Lao Tzu Shi Hu liked Shi Tao very much and wanted to make him crown prince and depose Shi Xuan. However, Shi Xuan was the eldest son and had already been made the crown prince, so he had been hesitant.

Once, when the crown prince's brother Shi Xuan did not listen to the orders of Lao Tzu Shi Hu, Shi Hu was very angry, and he did not know whether he intentionally or unintentionally said: "I really regret that I did not make Shi Tao the prince in the first place." This sentence Shi Xuan heard in his ears and remembered in his heart, and at the same time it reached his younger brother Shi Tao.

Shi Tao, who was the Duke of Qin, became even more arrogant when he saw Lao Tzu say such a thing. He built a palace in the Taiwei Mansion and named it "Xuanguang Hall". In ancient times, there were many taboos, and when Shi Xuan heard this news, he was very angry, thinking that knowing that my name was "Xuan", he actually named the palace "Xuanguang Hall". So Shi Xuan, enraged, killed all the workers who built the palace and demolished all the parts that had been built.

Shi Tao still didn't dump him. You tear it down, I build it again, and it's bigger and bigger than the original one. When Shi Xuan heard this, he was furious, so he quietly said to a few of his henchmen, "That boy is too arrogant, if you can kill him, when I become the emperor, I will seal all his fiefs with you." As soon as the boy dies, my emperor Lao Tzu will definitely come to mourn, and when the time comes, I will bear him again, and it will be easy to raise his hand. (Fierce arrogance is daren!) Ru can kill it, I enter the Western Palace, and I should divide ru and so on with the tao's kingdom. When Tao dies, the Lord will mourn, and I will not be able to do great things because of my deeds. Several people agreed.

Shi Tao died, and the next day Shi Xuan told Lao Tzu About this matter, Shi Hu listened, and fainted in shock for half a day, while he himself went to mourn. He came to his brother's side, did not cry, but "hehe" laughed, and also ordered someone to uncover the quilt on Shi Tao's body to watch, and then laughed and left.

Shi Xuan's unusual behavior aroused Shi Hu's suspicions. So he lied that Shi Xuan's mother, Empress Du, was critically ill, summoned Shi Xuan to the Middle Palace, and detained him. However, at this time, Shi Hu was still not sure whether Shi Xuan had killed Shi Tao. Later, a man named Shiko denounced the incident, so the truth came out.

After Shi Hu knew the truth, he was furious. The cruel Lao Tzu was angry, and Shi Xuan would be miserable. Let's see how this emperor Lao Tzu executed his own son of the crown prince.

Shi Hu ordered the people to use an iron ring to penetrate and lock Shi Xuan's chin, and to take the sword and arrow that Shi Xuan used when he killed Shi Tao, and let him lick the residual blood on it clean, which made Shi Xuan's crazy cry, and the sound resounded throughout the palace. But Shi Hu did not give up, he wanted Shi Xuan's death. He ordered people to pile up firewood on the north side of Yecheng, and put up a pole on it, and at the end of the pole was a reel, and a rope was worn on the reel, and a ladder was leaned on the firewood. Then he took Shi Xuan to the bottom, and asked the eunuchs in Shi Tao's palace to pull out his hair one by one, and then pulled his tongue off again. Then he led Shi Xuan up the ladder on the firewood pile, and ordered the rope on the rudder to pass through Shi Xuan's chin, and turned the reel to hang Shi Xuan up. Then he ordered shi Xuan's hands and feet to be cut off, his eyeballs were dug out, and his intestines were cut open. (The Tongjian also says "RuTao's wounds", perhaps Shi Xuan killed Shi Tao in this way) And finally lit the firewood pile on all sides, and shi Xuan's burning "ashes were extinguished". And Shi Hu himself led more than a thousand people in the palace to watch this "good play" of his own director's murder of his son on a high platform.

In this way, Shi Hu killed another of his own sons in order to avenge his son. The cruelty of his methods was unbearable to watch, or even to imagine. Oh his own son, he can do it too!

Shi Xuan's death could also be said to be self-inflicted, but he would never have imagined that his own pro-Lao Tzu would kill himself with such a tragic means. His death was a cup, not because he died (because he deserved to die), but because his biological father killed himself in a cruel and perverted way.
