Qin Shi Huang's eldest son Fusu: With hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, why did he choose to commit suicide without resisting?
It is said that in ancient times, the struggle for the throne was like playing a game of "werewolf killing" without the role of "commoner", and everyone was guessing: who was the "werewolf" and who was the "prophet"?
And Qin Shi Huang's eldest son, Fusu, obviously had hundreds of thousands of troops, but he chose to commit suicide in this game. Could it be that he is a "werewolf" who blew himself up? Or is it a "prophet" who has detected a "werewolf" but is powerless to return to heaven?
Today, let's uncover this confusing battle for the throne.

Fusu's "high-matched" life
Fusu, a prince who was born to win at the starting line. As the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, he naturally bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the great cause. Not only that, but he was also intelligent, studious, generous, and deeply loved by the people. He is a winner in life!
However, life is always full of drama. Although Fusu is excellent, it also has a fatal flaw - too kind. This makes him look a little "immature" in the power struggle.
But it doesn't matter, Qin Shi Huang's father is still very shrewd. On the grounds of experience, he sent Fusu to the border pass.
On the surface, it is to let Fusu experience life, but in fact, it is to let him have a good relationship with the general Meng Tian and hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers. This operation is simply a "high-profile" version of the throne succession plan!

Zhao Gao's "God Operation"
Just when Fusu was training at the border pass and preparing to take over the throne, the news of Qin Shi Huang's death suddenly came. This news was like a bombshell, which instantly detonated the battle for imperial power. And at this time, Zhao Gao, a "god-level player", began his performance.
Who was Zhao Gao? He was a "bigwig" in the court of the Qin Dynasty! He saw the opportunity and joined forces with Li Si and others to execute Fusu by falsely passing on a holy decree. This operation is simply the "werewolf" night knife man in "Werewolf Kill"!
You may ask: Why is Fusu so easy to deceive? Actually, it's not. Fusu has been in the imperial court for many years and knows the etiquette of the court and the tone of the emperor well. He may well have seen through the flaws in the Divine Decree.
However, he chose to remain silent and accept. Because he knew that in that situation the chances of success in the rebellion were very small and very risky;
Moreover, he did not have enough evidence to prove the truth of the decree, and more importantly, he did not want to cause war and cause the people to suffer because of himself.

Fusu's helpless choice
In the face of Zhao Gao's "divine operation", Fusu fell into a dilemma: resist, the odds of victory are not great, and it may cause war; if you don't resist, you are unwilling, and feel sorry for the expectations of your father and the people.
In the end, after a fierce ideological struggle, Fusu chose to commit suicide to show his will, which not only preserved his reputation, but also avoided the destruction of his life.
This choice is undoubtedly full of helplessness and tragedy, but it also embodies the noble quality and sacrificial spirit of Fusu. He knew that as the eldest son of the emperor, he shouldered great responsibilities and obligations, and he could not ignore the country and the people because of his personal desires;
He also knew that the consequences of his failure to resist would be unimaginable, not only in a different place, but also in the aftermath of Meng Tian and countless soldiers, family and friends, so he chose the most suitable and helpless path - to fight to the death and defend his faith and dignity with his life.

Later generations' evaluation and reverie of Fusu
After Fusu's suicide, history has mixed reviews of him, some people think he is cowardly and incompetent, others think he is high-spirited, but in any case, it cannot be denied that he left a deep mark on the history of the Qin Dynasty, and also left us infinite space for reverie and thinking:
What would have been the result if Fusu had chosen to resist at the beginning? What would have been the path of the Qin Dynasty under the leadership of Fusu? These question marks have always lingered in people's hearts and become mysteries that can never be solved;
But it is precisely because of these question marks that we are full of curiosity and desire to explore history, constantly pursuing the truth and answers;
At the same time, the story of Fusu also tells us a truth - sometimes in the face of difficulties and choices, we need to have the wisdom and courage to weigh the pros and cons, and make the most suitable decision for the overall situation, even if this decision is full of helplessness and sacrifice, we must be brave to face and bear, because this is life, this is life!

If Fusu lives in modern times
What would he have done if Fusu had lived in modern times? I guess he would have used his ingenuity and charisma to make a career;
He will uphold the principles of justice, fairness and openness in handling affairs to win people's respect and trust, and he will also pay attention to people's livelihood, sympathize with the people, and strive to let more people live a happy and beautiful life.
Of course, he will also bravely face challenges and difficulties, unrelentingly pursue his dreams and goals, and become a truly successful person!
No matter in which era or society, people like Fusu who are wise, responsible, and affectionate are needed to lead and promote social progress and development;
At the same time, we should also learn from the experience and lessons of history, learn to remain calm and rational in the face of difficulties and choices, and make decisions that are most in line with the overall situation to create a better future for ourselves, our families and society!
