236 The second generation of the Eastern Tour of the People harmed the people, and severely punished the law and punished the eunuchs and officials.

In the first year of Qin II (209 BC), the second emperor discussed politics with Zhao Gao, believing that he was young (at the age of 21) ascended the throne, and the people in the world had not yet surrendered. Emperor Shi Huang visited the counties and counties, so he was able to be powerful in the country. If he could not leave quietly, it would be implied that he was weak and could not rule the world. So in the spring of that year, Li Si and others followed him. He went to Jieshi in the east and went to Kuaiji Mountain in the south, and engraved all the stones he engraved when Qin Shi Huang was on the east tour, and the names of the ministers he accompanied were engraved to praise the merits of the First Emperor. From Kuaiji to Liaodong County, and then returned to Xianyang.

The Eastern Tour was an important means for Emperor Ying Zheng to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family. Emperor Qin II, Hu Hai, the second emperor, carried out his first Eastern Tour after ascending the throne in the way of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which made many ministers in the court think that Emperor Qin II, Hu Hai, would learn from Emperor Ying Zheng to become a qualified Emperor Qin and continue the Qin Empire for generations.

But they didn't know that the reason why Emperor Qin II Hu Hai made an Eastern Tour was not because he was preparing to be a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people, but because of his deepest greed and playful nature in his heart. Several times before he followed Emperor Ying Zheng on the Eastern Tour, he had to stay by the side of Emperor Ying Zheng to learn to deal with those damn political and literary works. This time, he could not only go wherever he wanted to go, but also selected hundreds of beauties in the name of the emperor along the way and brought them back to Xianyang. It was a great harvest in the heart!

Emperor Qin II Hu Hai was having fun, but the consequences were also very serious. Every time the First Emperor Ying Zheng went on an Eastern Tour, he would not only play the limelight. Every time he went on an Eastern Tour, he would solve some difficult political problems in various places, and would also change the annual taxes in various places based on his own review of different economic conditions in various places, so that the Qin Empire would be stronger every time the First Emperor visited the Eastern Tour.

Emperor Qin II Hu Hai only paid attention to the fun during this Eastern tour. Not only did he fail to eliminate the sufferings of the people, but he would collect them on a large scale every time he arrived. Whether it was a beauties, food, money and jewelry, Emperor Qin II Hu Hai did not consider the feelings of the people everywhere, but only focused on satisfying his growing inflated ** after becoming emperor. The suffering caused to the people along the way was not within the scope of Emperor Qin II's consideration.

In order to satisfy the greed of Emperor Qin II Hu Hai for money and jewelry, merchants from all over the country, under the threat of local county magistrates, gave the rare treasures treasures collected in their own homes to Emperor Qin II Hu Hai. Compared with these rare treasures, those women valued by Emperor Qin II Hu Hai's curiosity, regardless of whether they had any lovers before, as long as the women they were attracted to have not yet married, they were forcibly separated from their parents and relatives and sent to the tent of Emperor Qin II Hu Hai to offer their lust.

Both Emperors of the Qin Dynasty went to the eastern tour, and the changes brought to the people of various places were completely opposite. Although Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng had requisitioned civilians to build Chidao, straight road, Great Wall, and Afang Palace when he was alive. At least on every Eastern tour, the First Emperor Ying Zheng would bring a lot of benefits to the people, making the rule of the Qin Empire more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition to rekindling hatred from the people in Guandong, the Eastern Tour of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai did not do any good things that would be beneficial to the Qin Dynasty.

It is said that Zhao Gao was appointed as the doctor's order by Emperor Qin II, and was highly valued by Emperor Qin II, Emperor Hu Hai. On this day, Emperor Qin II conspired with Zhao Gao in the palace: "In the days since I ascended the throne and went to the Eastern Tour a few days ago, I felt that many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with me and often argued with me over trivial matters.

The officials in various places are becoming more and more powerful than during the reign of Emperor Shihuang. The garrisons in some counties and counties even only know the county magistrates but not me. The princes of the royal family often come and go to the palaces of the ministers in the court, probably to fight for the throne with me. Zhao Gao, you are my closest believer. Do you have any plans to relieve my worries?"

Zhao Gao took advantage of the suspicion of the Qin Second Emperor Hu Hai, and advised: "Your Majesty, I have seen in the book that any king must have great majesty to convince the public. Since our great Qin Dynasty established the world with the law, why did Your Majesty ascend the throne without increasing the rules and let all officials in the court and all people in the world feel Your Majesty's majesty?"

Emperor Qin II Hu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that as long as he showed the emperor's majesty as Zhao Gao said, he could sit firmly on the throne of the emperor to eliminate his doubts. So Emperor Qin II Hu Hai adopted Zhao Gao's suggestion and added criminal laws on the basis of Qin law, without asking whether it was useful, but asking for harshness and terror. So from the royal ministers to the county magistrates, he was tortured and killed, and was repeatedly punished. Countless innocent people died under the strict law, which made the world anxious and the government and the country frightened.

Emperor Qin II's absurd behavior caused many officials in the court to be dissatisfied, but at this time, Emperor Qin II had already become more and more murderous. He directly killed Feng Jie, Feng Quji, Zhaoqing and other ministers and royal families who often opposed their decisions. He also purged all the officials left over from the era of the First Emperor, so that the poor would be more valuable, the low would be valuable, and the far would be close, and the Qin II's absurd confidants trusted by Emperor Hu Hai.

During this process, Emperor Qin II, Hu Hai, all his objections were all in his left ear and out of his right ear, and he listened to what Zhao Gao, his most beloved person, said: "As long as Your Majesty does this, his virtues will return to Qin II, and he will eliminate evil and purify evil. The new nobles and ministers will be grateful and obey orders. Your Majesty will rest assured and enjoy it at will."

When no one in the court dared to face Emperor Qin II's opposition, Emperor Qin II asked Zhao Gao proudly: "There is no longer a judge in the court who opposes me. I have ruled the world. I just hope to entertain the things I like and enjoy the hearts and minds to end my birthday. Is it easy?"

The eunuch Zhao Gao chuckled and replied: "What Your Majesty asks is what the wise ruler should implement and secretly avoids it. However, since the Sand Dune Incident, all the princes and ministers have always had doubts. All the princes are your princes brothers, and the ministers are appointed by the First Emperor. Now that your Majesty has just ascended the throne, these people are unhappy and unacceptable, fearing that something will happen, and I am trembling with me, fearing that I will not have a good end. How can Your Majesty enjoy the fun!"

Emperor Qin II, Hu Hai, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Zhao Gao for countermeasures. Zhao Gao took the opportunity to persuade Qin II to destroy ministers and royal family. Since then, Qin II was dissatisfied with ministers and princesses, and all of them were handed over to Zhao Gao for punishment. So twelve princes were killed in Xianyang City, and the tenth princess was dismembered and executed by Du, and the family's property was not confiscated.

The young master imprisoned Lu and his three brothers in the inner palace and waited for disposal. The second generation sent people to the prison site and accused Jiang Lu of "dead of his ministers and being punished". Jiang Lu rejected "dead of his ministers" as a false accusation. The envoy said that he was ordered to enforce the law. Jiang Lu looked up to the sky and shouted three times, "Heaven! I am not guilty!" The three brothers were forced to commit suicide.

Prince Gao wanted to escape to Qin, but was afraid that Emperor Qin II of Qin Hu Hai would destroy his relatives. So he could only write to Qin II alone, requesting to be buried in Mount Li. Qin II waved his hand and agreed to Prince Gao's request, and gave him 100,000 yuan to the Prince Gao, and ordered him and the Emperor of Mount Li to bury him and the Emperor of Mount Li to die.

Since then, except for the prince Fusu's legitimate son Ziying who was just imprisoned and not executed because Hu Hai's conscience discovered, the Qin Ying clan could no longer threaten the throne of Emperor Qin II.

If you want to know what happens next, you will see that you will not tear down again......
