The so-called era creates heroes, and heroes create the times. There are endless heroes and celebrities in Chinese history, but there must also be sinners, and today we will count the five major sinners in Chinese history, which directly led to China going back 100 years.

The fifth, Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao, was the direct murderer of the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and the great deeds built by Qin Shi Huang were destroyed by this person. He was originally a eunuch, but after the death of Qin Shi Huang, he tampered with the succession edict, forced the emperor's eldest son Fusu to commit suicide, and ostensibly established Hu Hai, the youngest son of Qin Shi Huang, as emperor, but in fact he controlled the entire imperial court. Zhao Gao slaughtered loyal courtiers and promoted henchmen, and under his torment, Qin Shi Huang's life's inheritance was destroyed, and the second emperor of the Great Qin Empire died.

Fourth place, Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuosheng was cruel and unscrupulous. After his army entered Luoyang City, he killed, looted, and raped women. He also set fire to public temples and buildings within 200 miles of Luoyang, completely turning the prosperous city of Luoyang into ruins for more than 200 years. Fortunately, there was evil reward, and Dong Zhuo was later attacked by various forces, his family was killed, and his body was even burned to ashes by people who made oil lamps.

Third place, Yang Guozhong. This man ruined one of the most powerful eras in the history of the continent. Yang Guozhong is Yang Guifei's clan. After the noble concubine was favored, he threw himself into power and did all the bad things that all traitors would do. His conflict with An Lushan led to the outbreak of the An Shi Rebellion. After the rebellion, she continued to command blindly, causing the rebels to attack Chang'an, bringing to naught the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Second place, Qianlong. Many people say that Qianlong is one of the greatest monarchs in history, but in fact he can be called a sinner of the ages. Qianlong squandered all the prosperous era created by Kangxi, and often engaged in large-scale patrols that worked for the people and lost money. During his reign, corruption was extremely serious, and he used famous corrupt officials and gentry. He also went on a literal hell and destroyed many classical Chinese books. Of course, Qianlong's biggest mistake was the retreat, arrogantly refusing all foreign team visits, leaving the mainland directly behind the world by 100 years. It can be said that China's subsequent history of humiliation in the past hundred years is inseparable from Qianlong.

First place, Cixi. This old demon is called an eternal sinner, and that is worthy of the name. She signed a treaty of traitor, cut land again and again to compensate, and scavenged the people's silver to curry favor with the foreigners, who were too poor to eat. He was greedy for pleasure in the palace, eating fragrant and spicy, and even the basin was made of gold. He blocks everything that is beneficial to China in order to consolidate his rights. The reason why modern China is so humiliated is that it is all due to Cixi. Seeing these sinners, everyone must also be very unhappy in their hearts, then come and return to the empire, here, you can build cities, develop the economy, you can also fight hard, open up territory, be a real ancient king, and create your empire glory.
