As we all know, the Chinese ancients were more superstitious, and in their eyes, there were many taboos. For example, the place that Xiaobian introduced to you today is a place where dragons are trapped in the eyes of the ancients. The King of Shang had set up a wine pond meat forest here, and king Wuling of Zhao had died of starvation here, and The First Emperor qin shi huang of the ancient world also died in this place. Where is this place? It is the sand dune in the territory of the Zhao State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
dune
The sand dunes are located in the village of Datai in present-day Guangzong County, Xingtai, Hebei, and according to the "Historical Records", the King of Shang built a large number of trees in the sand dunes, built a garden platform, and placed many birds and beasts. And the legendary wine pond meat forest, right here. At that time, men and women undressed and chased games here, singing and drinking wildly, and staying up all night. The level of extravagance has surprised the world. And this has also become one of the excuses for the Wu King to cut down the silk.
King Wuling of Zhao
After the King of Shang, the next person to have a relationship with the sand dunes was King Wuling of Zhao. King Wuling of Zhao was the sixth monarch of the Zhao state and a key figure in the rise of the Zhao state. During his reign, he promoted the military "Hufu Riding And Shooting", which made the Zhao state's military strength increasingly strong. After that, he led people to annex the Zhongshan Kingdom, defeated the Lin Hu and Lou Fu clans, and after opening up the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Dai, he took the lead in building the "Great Wall of Zhao".
In order to concentrate more on the military, King Wuling of Zhao ceded the throne to the crown prince Zhao He and became the Emperor Taishang himself, that is, the "main father", under the tutelage of Xiang Guofeiyi, the young Zhao He soon took the form of a king and began to govern the country. King Wuling of Zhao, who had lost his power, began to feel unhappy, and it happened that his eldest son, Gongzi Zhang, was also the same frustrated. Originally, Gongzi Zhang was the crown prince of the State of Zhao, but because King Wuling of Zhao favored Zhao He's mother, he made Zhao He the crown prince instead.
The Dune Palace is under siege
In order to regain power, King Wuling of Zhao provoked Gongzi Zhang to fight with Zhao He. Gongzi Zhang was originally eager for power, and at the instigation of his father and his subordinate Tian Bulu, he launched a mutiny. Because Xiang GuoFeiyi took the lead in going to the main father's palace on behalf of Zhao He to inquire, Zhao He did not win the plan. Gongzi Zhang was also defeated and forced to flee to the main father's palace. Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui besieged the main father's palace in order to capture Gongzi Zhang. King Wuling of Zhao was surrounded in the main father's palace and could not get out, and there was no surplus food, and eventually starved to death in the palace.
Qin Shi Huang
Qin Shi Huang died in the Dune Palace during his fifth eastern tour. Qin Shi Huang was originally on a tour of the southeast, accompanied by The Minister Li Si, the Eighteenth Son Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao of the Zhongche Prefecture. On the way back, he fell ill in Pingyuanjin, and became seriously ill in July of the 38th year of Qin Shi Huang, and later moved to the Dune Palace to recuperate. After anticipating that he would soon die, Qin Shi Huang left a will and ordered his eldest son Fu Su to return to Xianyang immediately to preside over the funeral. In fact, Qin Shi Huang meant to pass the throne to Fu Su.
However, Zhao Gao was afraid that Fu Su would fall out of favor after he came to power, so he teamed up with the chancellor Li Sizhi to kill Fu Su and imprisoned Meng Tian. It was precisely because of Hu Hai's ascension to the throne that it led to the death of Qin Dynasty II. Since the two wise and divine monarchs died here, the future emperors were also secretive about this place and basically did not go to this place.
