Sand Dune, in the ancient history of the continent, is not an ordinary desert name, but a very legendary place name. It is understood that the sand dunes are located near the current city of Xingtai in Hebei Province.
In ancient times, three well-known monarchs died here, namely the King of Shang, the King of Zhao Wuling, and the First Emperor of Qin. So, Dune has also been playing"
King Terminator
"The role of other emperors in ancient times changed color.
(1) The origin of the sand dunes: the place where the Shang Dynasty fell and was burned by fire
Before Qin Shi Huang, the popularity of the sand dune was not high, but if you say its previous name, I believe many people are very familiar with it, that is, "Lutai". In the "List of Fengshen Gods", the King of Shang built a city in Lutai, which stored many wines, meats and beauties for the pleasure of King Shang and Su Da.
Later, King Ji of Zhou Wu launched an army to destroy the Shang Dynasty, and the King of Shang also set himself on fire in Lutai to end his life. The fire in Lutai burned for a long time, burning the city into ruins, and since then, Lutai has become a barren land, known as sand dunes by posterity.
(2) King Wuling of Zhao died in the sand dunes, and the State of Zhao went into decline
King Wuling of Zhao was the king of the State of Zhao in the middle and late Warring States period, and during his reign he carried out a series of military and political reforms, known in history as "King Wuling of Zhao". After the reform, the strength of the Zhao state was significantly improved, and it became the number one military power among the seven heroes of the Warring States.
However, King Wuling of Zhao made a wrong decision, that is, to cede the throne to his son King Huiwen of Zhao, and after giving up the throne, King Wuling of Zhao wanted to participate too much in the government, which led to the intensification of domestic contradictions. In the end, King Wuling of Zhao conspired with Gongzi Zhang to seize power, and after the matter was revealed, he was trapped in Dune City led by Gongzi Cheng.
There was no food in the city, and a generation of masters starved to death after starving in the city for three months. After this, the State of Zhao also began to go downhill, and all the main forces of the Battle of Changping were annihilated by the Qin army, and the national strength was gradually declining, and finally it was impossible to escape the fate of being destroyed by the Qin State.
(3) Qin Shi Huang suddenly died in the sand dunes, and the Qin state was destroyed
The third king to die in the dunes was the famous Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang unified the whole country and became the first emperor in the history of the mainland. During his reign, he always dreamed of immortality and sat on the emperor's throne forever. So he sought the art of immortality.
By chance, he heard that there was a treasure in Penglaizhou in the East that could make people immortal, so he personally went to look for it, but later found that it was a scam, and after that, Qin Shi Huang was also very disappointed, and toured the sand dunes with a depressed mood.
Later, the story of Qin II's revision of the will and usurpation of the throne occurred. Qin Shi Huang did not have a major illness at that time, otherwise he would not have toured the east, so it can be seen that the cause of Qin Shi Huang's death is indeed a mystery, and it is not excluded that Qin II and Zhao Gao conspired to kill his father and stand on his own.
Through the stories of the three kings mentioned above, the dunes are indeed given a mysterious color. The three kings who were in this place eventually died here, and basically died by accident, which made posterity feel very evil.
After this, Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang took a detour when he passed through this place, and the emperors of later generations were also more superstitious and never set foot here again, and the story of the "King Terminator" in the sand dunes came to an end.
