Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin Dynasty: moody, shirking responsibility for state affairs due to extreme inferiority and fear

Hu Hai, the absurd puppet emperor of Qin II, ascended the throne at the age of 21, and snatched the throne that did not belong to him. However, in the face of such a big stall, he lacked the ability to govern the country. In less than three years, he handed over the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that his father had worked hard to lay down to his hands, and said, "when a man is in trouble, seven temples are broken, and the body is dead, laughing for the world"!

Not long ago, a list of China's modern high-risk industries was circulated on the Internet, among which the number one is said to be government civil servants. We don't comment on the accuracy of this list, but it gives us some inspiration: throughout the history of China, if there is a list of high-risk industries, the Emperor may also be among them, especially when his own ability, prestige and virtue are not enough to reign in the world - at this time, being an emperor is nothing but suffering. So in the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of Wu wrote to Cao Cao to persuade him to be emperor. Cao Cao would sigh that "this child wants to put me on the fire".

To infer from common sense, it is not a pleasant thing for him to let an incompetent person do what he can't do. Therefore, I think Hu Hai lived in fear all his life. In his heart, there was a kind of extreme inferiority. This inferiority would not weaken because he was in the world. We can see from his many words and deeds that he wants to resolve this fear and inferiority through two extremes: one is to escape from reality and entrust all the state affairs to Zhao Gao, who is neither male nor female, while hiding himself in a place that ordinary people can't see, which makes it difficult for ministers to see him; the other is to get angry easily Moody, killing innocent people.

As the second generation of "chairman", he and two "general managers", Zhao Gao and Li Si, all cheat each other. Each of the three people has his own ghost. They have played a life and death zero sum game. In the first game, Lee was eliminated. In the second game, Hu Hai himself became the one who was eliminated. As for Zhao Gao, who is not male or female, the end is also sad. He instigated Hu hai to kill Fu Su, Meng brothers, Prime Minister Li Si, and his relatives to kill Hu Hai. He did not expect that he would be seduced and killed by Prince Qin Ying, the third generation monarch of the Qin Dynasty, who was supported by him in the near future. This is a true response to the old saying, "if you don't see a shaver, you will shave your head too"!
