Qin Shi Huang's resolute and resolute spirit was at the forefront of his weak crown year. In 238 B.C., Qin Shi Huang completed the crown ceremony, immediately after the ceremony was completed, in Xianyang Palace, Yongcheng Qi Nian Palace secretly placed the elite, with the speed of thunder to split Chang Yu, in addition to Chang Yu's two sons, imprisoned mother Zhao Ji, exiled Lü Buwei, all the uncontrollable people under the seat, began to pawn the entire Great Qin, Qin Shi Huang was only 21 years old at that time, it was the time to forge ahead. Qin Shi Huang recruited the world's capable people, vigorously enabled Li Si and Wei Yi, and waved his sword to drive the army of the Great Qin Tiger and Wolf to open the journey of merging the Six Kingdoms, after careful preparation, starting from 230 BC, this creation took 10 years to complete. Qin Shi Huang, who realized the long-cherished wish of his ancestors, looked at the world and changed his state of mind, and the thoughtful Wei Yu was the first to discover the transformation of Qin Shi Huang, and sighed in his heart that "King Qin has the ambition of the world, less grace and a tiger's wolf heart, and regards the public as a captive", so he designed to flee and did not know where to go.
In fact, Wei Yu was indeed prescient. "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records, Qin Shi Huang Zhi succeeded in the post, sent his husband to repair the Great Wall, Ling Canal, straight road and other projects, even though the merit in the thousand years but made Wanfu tired of hard work, and then in Xianyang outside, imitate the former six countries of various styles of luxury palaces, build a total of more than 200, the palace is hung all over the gorgeous brocade, there are countless treasures hidden inside, in order to travel conveniently, Qin Shi Huang also ingenious craftsmen to repair the road ladder, connect more than 200 palaces. At the same time as the construction of the city, a large number of Huang Lao Fangshi also poured into the city of Xianyang, these people praised the merits of Qin and the Six Kingdoms with the theory of yin and yang five elements and fate, and were recognized by Qin Shi Huang and given generous treatment. As a result, all kinds of magicians are becoming more and more popular.
In addition to the well-known Xu Fu, there is also a Lu Sheng who is deeply favored by the first emperor. After Qin Shi Huang summoned Lu Sheng, he was very interested in the misty gods and ghosts he complained, so he sent Lu Sheng to look for Xianshan overseas. After Lu Sheng got a lot of money, he traveled away and suddenly returned, and presented a book "Record Books", which has a sentence that has been known to women and children for 2,000 years, which is "the one who destroys Qin, Hu Ye", as for the origin of this book, there is no record. Later, Lu Sheng was ordered to set off for the East China Sea and never returned, and the later Qi man Xu Fu completely followed Lu Sheng. And after Lu Sheng, there is also a warlock Han Zhong who is deeply trusted by the First Emperor, Han Zhong is not like Lu Sheng and Xu Fu, he specially stayed in Xianyang to refine pills for Emperor Qin.
In Xianyang City, there is a special palace room, storing a large number of red copper, black lead, sulfur, mercury and other gold and stone bait, Han finally matched these items into the furnace Ding smelting, and produced a furnace of "Jin Dan", in order to let the first emperor rest assured to eat, Han Zhong himself and the alchemy child were taken in front of the first emperor, and then the first emperor will "enter a pill every day", in addition to the Dan, the Qin Emperor also eats a kind of "gold liquid", this thing is not unusual, it is one of the Taoist foreign pills, "exhaust the steam in the Ding to become" , Han finally put this into the treasure bottle and dedicated it to the first emperor. It is such a two-pronged approach, Qin Shi Huang did not spare his hard work, led his relatives to tour the East China Sea, but failed to live forever, but died of sudden illness in 210 BC during the parade, at the age of 49, what caused the first emperor to die in the prime of life?
Guo Moruo studied the death of the Qin Emperor deeply, and he studied the "Historical Records" in detail and a large number of ancient historical records, and finally in Sima Gong's description of Qin Shi Huang's physiognomy, it was concluded that his physique was relatively weak, of course, these were not enough to affect life expectancy in the early years, but after Daqin sat on the world, Qin Shi Huang's workload suddenly increased dramatically, and the amount of documents he reviewed recorded in historical records reached 120 catties per day, so the body must not be able to survive, which explains why Qin Huang began to believe in immortality, and his physical condition at that time was already poor, so he trusted the warlock's Huang Laozhi to ask for immortals and eat pills. However, it was precisely these unknown Warlock Pill pills that drastically shortened Emperor Qin's lifespan. According to the current scientific analysis, whether it is a "pill" or a "gold liquid", it is a heavy metal mineral containing mercury, and long-term use not only has no benefit, but also poisons people.
It can be seen that the power of frailty and fatigue is far less ferocious than these pills full of lead and mercury, and the first emperor has taken it for about ten years, or there are few insufficiencies, this time limit has reached the limit of the body's endurance, and the poison has entered the bones, so he died of staggering. What's even more puzzling is that the style of refining pills with warlocks has been followed by the Qin Emperor Han Wu to Tang Li Shimin and Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
According to the statistics of historians, there are 21 monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, and there are 5 people who believe in Jinshi Dan Pill, and Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and Tang Xuanzong have all used it. In particular, Tang Wuzong Li Yan trusted the warlock very much, because of his diligence in eating, he died at the age of 32 at a young age, and he was tortured in every way for half a month before he swallowed his breath, so that he was speechless and unable to speak. But even so, there are still many people in the later generations of the Tang Dynasty, and it is strange to know that they can't do it.
