Later generations mostly thought that Qin Shi Huang was a great joyful man, had a tyrannical personality, and the people under his rule were not happy. Objectively speaking, he was the first emperor of China, the founder of the emperor's honorific title, and the founder of the Chinese emperor system, who brought China into the era of centralized monarchy. But since ancient times, the people's evaluation of Qin Shi Huang has been mixed.

Since the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang has aroused the hatred of countless nobles of the Six Kingdoms, so it is not uncommon for him to be assassinated.

At the end of the Warring States Period, the Yan people were high and gradually separated, and they were good at hitting and building (a kind of percussion instrument in ancient times, with a thin neck and round shoulders, hollow, and thirteen strings), and they were Jing Ke's friends.

After Jing Ke's death, Qin Shi Huang ordered the disciples of Prince Dan and Jing Ke to be published, and the guests all absconded. Gao gradually left and changed his name and surname to work as a bartender, hiding in Song Zi's place to work. Soon after, Gao Yanli considered that he had been incognito for a long time, and he was afraid that there would be no end to hiding in fear, so he no longer hid his identity, and was invited to take turns as a guest in Song Zicheng, performing and building, and the audience was full of praise, and gave Gao Yanli wine to show his appreciation.

Later, because of his superb skills, he was passed into the palace by Qin Shi Huang to perform. However, he was denounced by one of Qin Shi Huang's courtiers, although Qin Shi Huang pardoned him for capital crimes. But let people blind him first to prevent stabbing.

I don't want to leave Gao gradually away, although he is blind, but he is filled with lead in the building, and when the first emperor listens to his blow and is fascinated by the construction and does not pay attention, he rises up and hits the first emperor with the lead building. Gao gradually left the assassination of Qin Shi Huang and finally failed, and was martyred, and Qin Shi Huang never dared to approach the people who had previously served as the Six Eastern Kingdoms.

Mastermind of the Bolangsha assassination. Zhang Liang, the fifth generation of the family, later became the third master of the early Han Dynasty.

In 218 BC (the twenty-ninth year of Qin Shi Huang), Qin Shi Huang passed through Bolangsha (now Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province) on his third parade, and the accompanying convoy was suddenly hit by a 120 kg (about 30 kg) large iron vertebrae, but the large iron vertebra smashed on another car, and the assassination failed, and Qin Shi Huang was not injured.

Zhang Liang was the mastermind of this matter, and the fifth generation of his family, Shi Han, out of hatred for destroying Han, almost scattered all his family wealth to seek warriors to plot to assassinate Qin Shi Huang. Later found a Hercules. Hit Qin Shi Huang's car with a large iron vertebrae, unfortunately hit the deputy car by mistake, Qin Shi Huang for this ten days, the pursuit is very urgent. Zhang Liang only changed his name and surname. Flee to Xiapi and hide.

One night in 216 BC (the 31st year of Qin Shi Huang). Qin Shi Huang with four warriors. traveled in the Xianyang area, but was attacked by a group of robbers near the Lanchi Palace, and the situation was critical. Fortunately, he eventually killed the robbers who tried to attack Qin Shi Huang. Due to the suspicion that there was another mastermind of the incident, he spent 20 days in the Guanzhong area.

Qin Shi Huang advocated the concept of legalist governance, and he adopted certain provisions of the laws of the six countries on the basis of the original legal decrees of the Qin state, and formulated and promulgated a unified law for the whole country.

The Qin Dynasty was very strict in the management of officials, and formulated many decrees to punish officials. When officials break the law, they do not enjoy privileges like the Western Zhou Dynasty, that is, "they cannot be punished by doctors", but they are punished more heavily.

Qin Shi Huang's draconian laws aroused the dissatisfaction of the scholars, and various accusations came one after another, and various doctrines that were different from those of Qin Shi Huang's legalists were heard endlessly. Due to the contention of hundreds of schools of thought in the society at that time, it seriously hindered the unity of the minds of the people of the original six countries conquered by Qin Shi Huang.

Prime Minister Li Si saw this as a threat to the rule of the Qin Dynasty and advocated a severe suppression of these scholars, but Qin Shi Huang supported Li Si's views and launched the book burning and Confucianism incident:

The so-called "book burning" means that in order to unify the minds of the people of the original six countries and consolidate the rule of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang began to destroy the history books of the six countries except the "Records of Qin", and kept books on agriculture, technology, divination, and medicine.

In addition to the doctor's official position, those who dare to privately collect poems, books, and hundreds of languages in the world have ordered the guards and lieutenants to burn their collections. There are those who dare to say "poems" and "books" to abandon the city, and the ancient is not the present. If an official conceals knowledge and does not report it, he will also be punished in the same way as a person who collects books ("Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang Benji"). This policy was enforced from 213 BC until the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 206 BC.

However, some believe that Qin Shi Huang ordered some of the forbidden books to be kept in the imperial library until Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, set fire to Xianyang, and these books disappeared completely.

In the thirty-fifth year of the first emperor (212 years ago), Xu Fu entered the sea to seek immortals, and spent a huge amount of money, but he could not be cured. The First Emperor felt deceived in his heart, so he ordered the imperial history to ask all the living beings, exposing each other and implicating more than 460 people, and the First Emperor ordered them to be buried alive in Xianyang. This is the famous "pit confucian".

Some people believe that Qin Shi Huang killed "warlocks" and not Confucian scholars, but according to the "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji", it is recorded that Qin Shi Huang killed people "all recited Confucius".

Moreover, it is also said in the "Historical Records of Confucianism" that after Qin Shi Huang killed all living beings, the six arts have been missing since then.

According to the "Historical Records", in 211 BC (the 36th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang), three strange events occurred in succession.

The ancients called "Mars" as "Luminous Confusion", and the "Antares" in the Twenty-Eight Nakshatras was referred to as "Heart", and "Antares" was the "Scorpio" of modern astronomy, and the appearance of the Luminous Confusion and Guarding the Heart was called a great omen, the light one was to lose the Son of Heaven, and the serious case was the death of the emperor.

In the same year, a meteorite fell in the Dongjun area (now Puyang City, Henan Province), during which someone engraved the seven characters "The First Emperor died and divided" on the meteorite, which was transmitted to the ears of Qin Shi Huang. Qin Shi Huang was furious and ordered the imperial historian to go from house to house, but no one confessed, so he arrested and killed all the people who lived around the stone, and burned the meteorite.

This incident made Qin Shi Huang unhappy, so he asked the doctor to compose a poem "Immortal True Poems", and when he traveled around the world, he ordered musicians to play and sing when he walked around.

In the autumn of the same year, a messenger walked by night from Kanto through Huayin Pingshu Road, during which someone stopped the messenger with a jade bi, and asked the envoy to send Wang Bi to Zhuchijun, and said, "This year, Zulong died." The envoy asked him why, and the man disappeared and left behind the jade, and the messenger had to take it back and tell Qin Shi Huang about his adventures.

Qin Shi Huang was silent for a long time, saying that the ghosts in the mountains could only predict things for a year at most, and he said lightly that it was autumn, which may not be fulfilled. Before he sent the messengers away, he said that "ancestral dragon" meant the ancestor of the people, which meant that "ancestral dragon died" had nothing to do with him.

Subsequently, Qin Shi Huang asked the imperial palace to inspect the piece of jade, and found that the jade was the one that sank into the water when the first emperor went out to inspect and cross the river in the 28th year, so he asked for divination, and the result of divination was the migration of auspicious (the divination recorded in the historical records is called "wandering auspicious"), so he ordered the relocation of 30,000 households to the Beihe and Yuzhong areas, and each household was awarded the title of first-class, and Qin Shi Huang carried out the fifth parade in 210 BC (the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang), which was also the last parade in his lifetime.

At the end of 211 BC (the 37th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang), Qin Shi Huang embarked on his fourth national tour, accompanied by his youngest son Hu Hai, the left prime minister Li Si and Zhao Gao, who was in charge of the Zhongche government order, and the right prime minister Feng Quji was in charge of staying in Beijing, and his specific route was as follows:

Xianyang → Yunmeng (present-day Yunmeng County, Hubei Province), → Haizhu (present-day Tongcheng City, Anhui Province), → Danyang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), → Qiantang (present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province), → Huiji (present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province), → Wu (present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu Province), → Langya→ Rongchengshan (present-day Rongcheng City, Shandong Province), → Zhifu (present-day Zhifu District, Yantai City, Shandong Province), → Pingyuanjin (present-day Pingyuan County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province), → Sand Dune (present-day Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province)

"Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang"

Qin Shi Huang and his entourage arrived in Yunmeng in November of that year, sacrificed Yu Shun in Jiuyi Mountain, and then took a boat down the Yangtze River, visited Jike, crossed Haizhu, and arrived at Qiantang through Danyang. (To be continued......)
