Is the fall of Qin Dynasty related to the first emperor's search for elixir?

Qin Shihuang's life was actually very simple: first he was not afraid of death, then he didn't want to die, and finally he didn't dare to die.

Before 219 B.C., Qin Shihuang, who did not dare to die, did not see life and death as utilitarian, because since he called himself the "first emperor", he must have intended to leave some living space for his descendants, and he did not want to play tricks and not die. However, since 211 BC, the 48 year old Qin Shihuang was entangled. He suddenly had a strange feeling: he was afraid to die!

This year, a meteorite fell from the sky in Dongjun. According to the survey report of local government officials, there were a few strange words on the stone, saying that "the first emperor died and divided the land.". When Qin Shihuang read the report, he felt that his scalp was numb. He immediately sent the censor to file a case for investigation. He wanted to know if someone had engraved it on purpose, but no one would admit it. Qin Shihuang had no choice but to believe that this was the collective creation of the nearby residents, and then killed them, smashed and burned the poor meteorite until it turned into dust, because it witnessed things that should not be witnessed.

One night in the autumn of this year, something more strange happened. When an emissary sent by the first emperor of Qin Dynasty passed by Huayin Pingshu road from Guandong, someone stopped him with a piece of jade Bi and said in a riddle, "give it to the king of the pool for me." "ZuLong died this year," he added In the trance of the messenger, the mysterious figure disappeared like Superman, with only one jade on the ground.

The messenger's report is a little exaggerated, which only shows that the man is fast, and it is night, and the night is the best disguise. However, the mysterious figure obviously studied the personal data of the first emperor of Qin: when the first emperor of Qin claimed to unify the world by virtue of water, he set up a water god, the king of pool; when the first emperor of Qin claimed to be the first emperor, he set up a ZuLong. The ancestor is the beginning; the dragon is the emperor. He believed that Qin Shihuang understood.

Now it seems that both "meteorite gate" and "Yubi gate" are mysterious, but they are of the same nature and purpose. They all hope that Qin Shihuang will die soon. Maybe they are the work of the same organization.

Qin Shihuang took the piece of ominous jade, kept silent for a long time, and then seemingly wanted to understand it, he said: "the Mountain Ghost will know what happened in a year." Qin Shihuang himself felt a little guilty when he said this. He once stipulated that October should be the first month of every year. Now it's autumn, and the year is coming to an end. What are you afraid of? After work, he pondered for a long time and said, who says ZuLong must be me? Please, "ZuLong" is the "ancestor of man", OK!

Qin Shihuang was also very cute. He was very scared and concerned, and he wanted to put himself away like nothing to do with himself. But when I turned around, I asked the professionals to identify this jade. It turned out that it was the one that sank into the water when I crossed the river eight years ago. So he asked someone to do divination. The husband said that he had to do two things to solve the problem, one is to travel, the other is to immigrate. The first emperor of Qin immediately ordered 30000 households to be moved to Beihe and Yuzhong areas, and each household was granted a rank of nobility. These people are regarded as "welfare", but when Qin Shihuang did this, he just wanted to make it clear to everyone. I'm so scared!

When 210 B.C. finally arrived, Qin Shihuang was very relieved that he passed his "end of the world" safely and smashed the prediction of "yubimen" with practical actions. To be on the safe side, he went on a trip, only accompanied by Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. When he came back, he fell ill in the plain of the Yellow River Ferry, but "the first emperor spoke ill of death, and the officials dare not speak of death.".

Qin Shihuang is so pitiful that he doesn't dare to die. If he can face death calmly, he will arrange his affairs calmly, and will not be taken advantage of by people like Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. Because he didn't dare to die, the minister didn't dare to say, and the news was blocked, the young master Fusu was completely kept in the dark. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty was actually killed by the first emperor of Qin and did not dare to die.
