We all know that in ancient times, most of the eunuchs who served the emperor and empress were eunuchs, and their ability was the greatest. Because they served the emperor all the year round, they could get the emperor's trust. Therefore, the eunuchs who knew the emperor best were not the concubines in the harem, nor the princes that the emperor loved most, but the eunuchs who served him all the time; In ancient times, some of the Royal clansmen were sent to the court as eunuchs when they were connected. Zhao Gao was one of them. He was originally a distant relative of the Qin clan.
Zhao Gao's mother was punished for violating the criminal law of the state of Qin, so that she was physically handicapped at the back, and then she was locked up. Zhao Gao grew up in such an environment, but unlike other people, Zhao Gao didn't complain and abandon himself. Instead, he took all the time to study, so Zhao Gao was already full of poetry and books at a young age He was also proficient in law. Not long after entering the palace, Zhao Gao was made a eunuch. In the palace, Zhao Gao's name soon spread in.
Qin Shihuang learned that Zhao Gao was diligent, so he took him as his close eunuch. Once, Hu Hai, the second prince, was sent to prison because he committed a case, and Zhao Gao, with his eloquent tongue, wiped out Hu Hai's crime. Since then, Zhao Gao has been appreciated by Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao himself needs help in the court A rely on, slowly began to work in collusion with Hu Hai. Qin Shihuang trusted Zhao Gao very much, so he had a high position and power in the palace.
At that time, in addition to Zhao Gao, the two generals Meng Yi and Meng Tian were also deeply trusted by the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. Many of the things they fought outside were controlled by the two brothers of the Meng family. Under their leadership, there were few foreign invaders in the state of Qin. However, after the death of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao began to control the government. He not only created the word "pointing deer to horse", but also used the two brothers of the Meng family as well After Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, Zhao Gao became more rampant and even became the prime minister under one person and above ten thousand people.
But even so, Zhao Gao is still not satisfied, because he gradually feels that Hu Hai is too careless, so he designs to kill Hu Hai and help his young baby to the throne. However, Zhao Gao underestimates the strength of the baby. Although he is young, he has a big heart. After he plans to help his baby to the throne, he will find a reason to dethrone or kill him In this way, Zhao Gao was able to ascend to the throne. Unexpectedly, Ziying knew about it in advance, and he made the design step by step and killed Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was originally a distant relative of the imperial clan of Qin, but he became a eunuch because his mother violated the criminal law. He was cruel and ruthless, and the result was tragic! Zhao Gao lived in conspiracy and design all his life, but he couldn't escape in the end, resulting in his own tragic ending. Zhao Gao was cruel and ruthless in history, and had no feeling at all. Maybe this has a lot to do with his childhood experience. From here, we can see that a family is a family If Zhao Gao was born in a civilian family, his father loves his mother, and he is endowed with Yi Bin's talent, he will become an important minister in the court. However, his childhood experience makes him a little man who can only manipulate power.
