In order to prevent brothers from fighting for the throne, Hu Hai slaughtered his brothers and sisters

In 210 BC, the first emperor of Qin died on the way of his fifth tour. Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and Li Simi did not mourn, and finally Hu Hai was able to rise to the throne. After Hu Hai ascended the throne, the degree of cruelty was better than that of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, showing the cruelty incisively and vividly again. According to historical records, the sons and daughters of Qin Shihuang are not only Hu Hai and Fu Su, who are familiar to us. Ying Zheng has 33 children, including 10 daughters. After Hu Hai usurped the throne, he began to cruelly kill his brothers and sisters. The sons were either publicly executed or forced to commit suicide.

After Hu Hai came to power, in order to prevent other brothers from competing with him for the throne, the first thing he did was to murder his brothers and sisters with various charges. According to historical records, Hu Hai's large-scale massacre of his brothers and sisters mainly occurred in two cases. The first was the incident of "Twelve CHILDES killed in Xianyang city". It is recorded in the biography of Li siliezhuan in historical records that "twelve young masters died in Xianyang city" and "he" was known as "killing". The ancient killing penalty was to deprive criminals of their lives and insult them. We can imagine how cruel Hu Hai was to his brothers.

The second is the incident of "six young masters killed in Du". Hu Hai once crushed six elder brothers and ten sisters to death with a huge stone mill in du you. The execution ground was bloody and miserable. Therefore, he said, "if he lost his faith, he would not be extinct."

Some people say that Hu Hai is a fatuous monarch, and let Zhao Gao point the deer to the horse, and act recklessly. In my opinion, Hu Hai is to consolidate his throne, and has been crazy to the point of no flesh and blood. Hu Hai's brothers and sisters died under Hu Hai's hands.

After killing his brothers and sisters, the next step is the generals. In order to place charges on the ministers and generals who threatened him, Hu Hai, under the instruction of Zhao Gao, revised the laws of the state of Qin and ordered them to die one by one.

At that time, Meng Tian was a famous general for three generations. His grandfather, Meng Ao, had already made great contributions to the Qin state during the reign of King Zhao of Qin. His father, Meng Wu, once defeated Chu with Wang Jian. Meng Tian himself, in the 26th year of emperor Shihuang of Qin Dynasty, participated in the destruction of Qi and was later appointed as the chief executive of Xianyang at that time. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six states, Meng Tian was ordered to attack Xiongnu in the north, build the great wall and guard the north. Just like this, a loyal general, also because of Hu Hai's fear, died in prison after taking poison with a long sigh of "why did I sin in heaven and die without any fault?".

Hu Hai did this to the people around him, not to mention the people in the world.

During the Qin Dynasty, the corvee was heavy, and various kinds of taxes emerged one after another, which made the people miserable. When time was right, the number of people who built the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang reached 700000. After the completion of the mausoleum, Hu Hai continued to build palaces, built straight roads, and transported food and grass to Xianyang city. In addition, in order to prevent the people from rebelling, more severe laws and regulations were issued. There are more than ten kinds of death penalty, such as beheading, killing, vehicle cracking, owl leader, abandoning the city, giving death to foreigners and so on. At the same time, because of the punishment of LianZuo, countless people's families were destroyed.

Hu Hai believes that only if the laws and regulations are strict, the ministers will not dare to commit crimes, and the common people will be busy correcting their own mistakes, so they will have no time to rebel. In this way, the world can be peaceful and the king can do whatever he wants.

Hu Hai's Manifesto of life is "to be happy when you are satisfied with your life". He ordered the minister to collect all the beauties from all over the world and send them to his harem. He indulged in singing and dancing all day long and never asked about politics. In this way, in his daily squandering, the Qin Dynasty step by step to the grave. Later, Hu Hai himself was killed by Zhao Gao. On the 46th day when Prince Qin was sitting on the throne, Xianyang city was conquered by Xiang Yu, declaring the end of the Qin Dynasty. There are no more descendants of the king of Qin in the world.
