Shi Hu was the nephew of the Later Zhao Emperor Shi Le, (295–349 AD), a member of the Jilong clan.
When Shi Hu was six or seven years old, during the great chaos in the north, he and his uncle Shi Le were separated. Later, Liu Kun, the assassin of the Jin Dynasty, in order to show favor to Shi Le, who was already a major general of the Xiongnu Han State, deliberately found Shi Le's mother and Shi Hu in the chaotic world, and then sent this old man and young man to Shi Le's side.
At this time, Shi Hu was already a teenage boy, but he did not let Shi Le worry at all, wandering in the barracks all day, quietly beating people behind his back with a slingshot, stirring up the entire military camp, and there was not a single half-grown boy named Shi Hu who did not hate this half-grown boy named Shi Hu.
Several of Shi Le's cronies also complained to him about Shi Hu's complaint, and Shi Le, enraged by this indisputable nephew, told his mother that he planned to execute Shi Hu, a little villain, in order to calm the hearts of the people who were complaining.
Maybe old lady Shi was on the way to escape, and was well served by Shi Hu, and scolded her son, saying: "On the way to escape, I can only see you thanks to the tiger!" You want his life, are you right? "
In the blink of an eye, a few years later, Shi Hu turned 18 years old, not only skilled in bow horses, but also brave and fierce.
Seeing that his nephew had become his best helper, Shi Le appointed him as a general of the conquests, and led an army of the Jurchens to fight everywhere.
Although Shi Hu became a general, he did not have the appearance of a general, and every time he fought, he not only killed all the prisoners.
For his brave and warlike colleagues in the army, as well as those who do not have good relations, he will fabricate charges and let Shi Le kill them; he will also release cold arrows from behind on the battlefield.
What is even more hateful is that soon after Shi Hu was newly married, he became obsessed with a drama named Zheng Cherry and became obsessed with the "habit of breaking sleeves". In order to facilitate his own goodness, he actually killed his wife Guo Shi without a heart.
At this time, Shi Hu's beast heart had begun to reveal.
In the 2nd year of Taixing (319 AD), Shi Le proclaimed himself the King of Zhao and established the former Zhao regime, and he did not forget himself, shi hu, the nephew who could recruit Shan zhao, and made him an official as a servant and the duke of Zhongshan.
Who would have thought that the stone tiger was an unsatisfactory jackal, and his eyes had already been fixed on the emperor's throne.
Although Shi Le was very kind to his nephew, the throne was still passed to his son, and soon after he crowned Shi Hu as king, he made his son Shi Hong the crown prince.
When Shi Hu saw that he had become emperor, he couldn't help but be furious, gritting his teeth and saying to his son Shi Xiao, "I have been fighting to the death for more than twenty years, and this great country and mountains are all obtained by my life!" How can I take the position of the emperor! But the old man passed the throne to Shi Hong's yellow-mouthed child who was a maid. When old Piff dies, I will surely destroy his full door! "
What Shi Hu said, it was creepy to listen to.
In the 8th year of Xianhe (333 AD), Shi Le fell ill and died, and Shi Hu saw that the time had come and began to fulfill the vicious oath he had made.
He first sent people to arrest the auxiliary ministers appointed by Shi Le, Cheng Wei and Xu Guang, and then rushed into the palace with his son Shi Xiao and his army. When Shi Hong saw this murderous cousin, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down, saying that he was willing to give up the throne and only asked to spare his life.
Shi Hu not only did not appreciate it, but instead pretended to be a righteous gentleman and said sharply: "The former emperor has just passed away, and it should be your crown prince who is on the throne." As a minister, I don't dare to sit on your throne! This is against the etiquette system, you want to trap me Shi Hu in the people who transgress the etiquette system? "
Shi Hong was full of murderous anger when he heard his cousin's words, and he was even more frightened, crying and wanting to cede the throne to Shi Hu.
Maybe he was annoyed by Shi Hong's crying, maybe he felt that he still had use value, Shi Hu scolded again: "If you are not worthy of being the emperor, the people of the world will naturally have public opinions, and now you are crying and crying, like I am a courtier who bullied the emperor!" ″
Shi Hu carried Shi Hong's collar and led him to the main hall. When the trembling civil and military officials saw this scene, none of them dared to say a word.
After Shi Hong ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to appoint Shi Hu as the chancellor, the king of Wei, and Da Dan Yu Jia Jiu Xi, and the general leader of the imperial government.
Empress Liu was a rather courageous woman, and seeing that Shi Hu was so domineering and arrogant, she consulted with Shi Kan, the king of Pengcheng, and Shi Sheng, the king of Hedong, to fight against the rebel Shi Hu.
Unexpectedly, due to the leak of the plan, after Shi Hu knew, he captured Shi Kan and roasted him to death with fire. Then Shi Hu still did not understand the hatred, led people into the inner palace, and hacked the empress Liu Shi to death with a knife. He also personally led a large army and destroyed Shi Sheng, the king of Hedong.
Thinking about it, Shi Hu realized that keeping Shi Hong was a scourge that would cause trouble for himself. He sent someone to kill Shi Hong and his two other cousins, Shi Hong, the King of Qin, and Shi Hui, the King of Nanyang, and killed his uncle's family.
In the first year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (335 AD), Shi Hu, who ascended the throne as emperor, moved the capital of Later Zhao from Xiangguo to Yicheng, and at this time, Shi Hu only thought of three things in his head, one was lust, the other was killing, and the third was pleasure. From Xiangguo to Luoyang to Yicheng, along the way, the trees were full of people who hanged themselves, and the city walls were full of heads that were beheaded because they could not pay taxes!
The bloody massacre and cruel oppression of Shi Hu caused the number of people in northern China at that time to be sharply reduced by several million, and the fertile land of the Central Plains became a hell on earth where "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken chirping for a hundred miles".
In the 3rd year of Xiankang (337 AD), Shi Hu, known as the "Great Zhao Heavenly King", made his son Shi Yi the crown prince.
Shi Hao's body was shed by Shi Hu's blood, and his desire to kill was inferior to that of his father. After sitting firmly on the throne of the crown prince, the nature of the jackal was revealed. Once, he cut off the head of a misguided palace maid, placed it on a gold plate, and passed it on to his men.
At that time, Shi Hu basically ignored the government and left all government affairs to his son.
At first, Shi Yi still respected his father more, and he had to go to the face to report anything and ask his father how to deal with it.
However, Shi Hu was immersed in pleasure, and after several times, as soon as he saw his son coming, he began to scold, "Such a small thing cannot be done, what use do I want you as a prince?"
But Shi Hao didn't come to report in person for several days in a row, and Shi Hu would jump like a thunderbolt again, scolding, "Why did such a big thing come down to report to me?" ″
Saying that, picking up the stick and hitting The Stone Ishizu is a violent blow. As a prince, he was often beaten by his father, how could the murderous Shi Xiao endure?
Ishizu is a jackal, and his ferocious nature makes him have the heart to kill his father, so he secretly looks for an opportunity with his dead soldiers to prepare to kill Shi Hu.
However, before Shi Hao could act, the old and spicy Shi Hu discovered his son's plot, and he sent troops to rush into the Eastern Palace where the prince lived, killing the prince, the crown princess, and Shi Hao's daughter, his granddaughter, and all 26 people. Later, he killed more than 200 eunuchs and palace women in the Eastern Palace and made a funeral for his rebellious son.
Before Shi Hu could recover from Shi Hao's blows, his newly created crown prince Shi Xuan sent assassins to kill his brother Shi Tao. Shi Hu was once again ignited by the bloody qi of the Shi family, and the two eunuchs of his Baitao killed Shi Xuan with extremely cruel means, and then all of Shi Xuan's more than 50 eunuchs and more than 30 soldiers were to be torn apart.
After the execution of Shi Xuan, Shi Hu burst into tears in the palace and lamented to his subordinates, "How could I give birth to shi Xuan and Shi Xuan, two rebellious sons?" O retribution! "
It may be that the death of his two sons made the elderly Shi Hu indulge in self-blame and sorrow, and he soon fell seriously ill. In the 5th year of Jin Yonghe (349 AD), the 54-year-old Shi Hu, a ferocious tyrant, died in sorrow and fear.
Shortly after Shi Hu's death, his grandson Ran Min destroyed Hou Zhao.
Fang Xuanling, who wrote the Book of Jin, used the eight words "Accumulated evil to destroy, there is a heavenly path" to evaluate the historical facts of Shi Hu's death and the fall of later Zhao.
The meaning is that Shi Hu did all the evil things, which led to the extinction of the family and the demise of the country, which is really god has eyes, and retribution is not happy.
