When Zhao wanted to cheat Hu Hai into being a prince, the biggest problem he encountered was how to get rid of his son Fu Su and general Meng Tian, because his son Fu Su was the eldest son of the first emperor. According to the hereditary system, the eldest son Fu Su was the legal heir of the first emperor, and his son Fu Su was "resolute and brave, trusted the people, worked hard, and the people expected it"; Meng Tian, who commanded 300,000 troops and settled in Shang Jun, played an important role in the State of Qin, and his brother Meng Yi was favored by the first emperor, and his position was supreme. Whether we can get rid of Fu Su, the son, and Meng Tian, the general, is related to the lives of Zhao Gao and his accomplices, so we must be extremely cautious and not allow any omissions. However, Zhao tampered with the imperial edict given by the first emperor to his son Fu Su, but there were many fallacies and fallacies, and false words and slanders appeared frequently, which was unbelievable.
Zhao Gao even wrote a book to his son, saying, "I want to travel around the world and pray for a famous god to prolong his life in the temple." Today, Fu Su and Meng Tian have been stationed on the border for decades, and it has been more than ten years. If we can't go further, our foot soldiers will spend a lot of money, and there is nothing desirable in scale. The fact is that we have written many books to slander me directly. I have to be classified as a prince, complaining day and night. Fu Su was unfilial, so he killed himself with a sword. Meng Tian and Fu Su live far from home. If they are wrong, they should know their plans. If they are disloyal, they will die. "
Montessori is a military family. Meng Tian's ancestors were Qi people, and his grandfather Meng Ao worked in Tian Lei after he entered the Qin Dynasty. His father Wu Meng was also a lieutenant when Wang Jian destroyed Chu. Meng Tian cooperated with Wang Ben in the late period of the war of national annihilation, and * * * defeated the enemy without fighting and forced him to surrender. Therefore, he won the war of national annihilation and became a leader in literature and history.
In 2 15 BC, Qin Shihuang made his fourth cruise to inspect the northern border of Qin Dynasty, with the aim of preparing for the crusade against Xiongnu. Since the Warring States period, Xiongnu and Donghu people have often invaded the border under the condition of constant disputes in the mainland, and the northern Hetao area of Qin State was occupied by Xiongnu, posing a great threat to the rear of Qin State. After Qin Shihuang returned from his tour of the northern border, he immediately sent general Meng Tian to attack the Huns with 300,000 troops, retaking the area south of Hetao, and then retaking the Yinshan area north of Hetao, setting up 34 counties and resetting Jiuyuan County. It was only six years from 2 15 BC when Meng Tian led his troops to attack the Huns to 2 10 BC when Qin Shihuang died of illness.
Zhao Gaozhi's popularity is so hasty, and the tampered imperial edict is so clumsy that it is hard to understand. We don't know the technical details here, but one thing is certain: Zhao Gaozhiliu believes that as long as it is the imperial edict of Qin Shihuang, no one dares to doubt it, and no one dares to disobey it, because Qin Shihuang has great authority and has the power to kill and seize things, because people are afraid of the severe punishment of disobedience by Qin Law. Perhaps so, Zhao Gaozhi paid more attention to the purpose of awarding letters to Fu Su and Meng Tian, but ignored the rigor of letters.
If Fu Su and Meng Tian face sudden changes, they can sit together, calmly judge the authenticity of Xi Shu, find out Xi Shu's fallacies and flaws, temporarily detain emissaries and try to find out the truth. With Fu Su's prestige and Meng Tian's strength, it would be a piece of cake to send troops to counter the rebellion. In this way, the history of Qin was rewritten, so that the second one would not perish. However, historical facts are cast, and assumptions are meaningless. We can only precipitate more rationality by studying history.
