The story of "pointing the deer to the horse"!

The first emperor of Qin levied exorbitant taxes and carried out tyranny, which made the common people panic, starve and die of hunger everywhere. Only in this way could they resist and overthrow the tyrant Qin Dynasty. In fact, a large part of the credit belongs to Zhao Gao. About Zhao Gao, it is well-known that he "refers deer to horses"!

Zhao Gao's road was a horse, which was used to frighten the officials. It also became a symbol of treacherous and rebellious officials. In fact, there are many discussions about Zhao Gao's real identity, but the most convincing one is Zhao Gao's ancestral home, which directly led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty. Why can we infer from some things!

Zhao Gao, from his surname, we can know that he is a member of Zhao state. It was only after the Qin state destroyed the six states that the world was unified and the Qin Dynasty was established. The most powerful state among the six states was Zhao state. The rule of Qin made the people of the six States hate him so much that they all wanted to be killed. Therefore, Zhao Gao's secret identity is a spy for revenge for Zhao state!

Zhao Gao is not as eloquent as Su Qin and Zhang Yi. The only thing he can do is to bear humiliation and go deep into Qin Shihuang's side. For this reason, he executed palace punishment on himself and made himself a eunuch to gain the trust of Qin Shihuang. This method is really effective, but Qin Shihuang trusted Zhao Gao very much and even made Zhao Gao the teacher of his son Hu Hai! It's true It's just a sudden turn!

Zhao Gao's plan was also carried out step by step. He deliberately lured the first emperor of Qin to carry out more severe punishment, so as to arouse people's anger. When the bell of the uprising rang, some people would go on as planned and be assassinated. At the same time, Zhao Gao's other strategy was to infect the first emperor of Qin who believed that there was immortal elixir in the world, and then encouraged the first emperor of Qin to take the elixir made by warlocks, so he became more and more healthy The worse you come, the worse you die!

After the death of the first emperor of Qin, Zhao Gao conspired to tamper with the imperial edict, killed Fu Su, the young master, and made Hu Hai emperor. During this period, he encouraged Hu hai to kill his brothers and sisters, killed loyal Li Si, and took over power by himself. During the anti Japanese war between Liu Bei and Xiang Yu, he also killed many excellent Qin generals, which accelerated the destruction of the Qin Dynasty, and finally killed Hu Hai!

In this way, Zhao Gao's plan was fully realized, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, and he was able to avenge Zhao Guofu. Even though he had a reputation, his goal was achieved, so he was also a brave counselor!
