What historical events happened in the state of Qin during the twelve years of the reign of King Qin? What position does Zhao Gao occupy?

Zhao Gao is prime minister.

Qin Ershi's prime minister, Zhao Gao, is ambitious, planning to usurp the throne all day long. However, he doesn't know how many people can be at his mercy and how many people are against him. So he thought of a way to test his prestige and find out who dared to oppose him.

One day, Zhao Gao brought a deer into the palace and said to Qin Ershi with a big smile, "Your Majesty, I will give you a good horse." Qin Ershi looked at it and thought: This is not a horse, this is obviously a deer! He smiled and said to Zhao Gao, "The Prime Minister has made a mistake. This is a deer. How can you say it's a horse? " Zhao Gao said quietly with a straight face, "Please see clearly, this is really a good horse." Qin Ershi looked at the deer again and said incredulously, "Why does a horse have horns on its head?" Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Gao turned around, pointed at the ministers and said loudly, "If your majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the ministers."

Ministers were all at a loss by Zhao Gao's nonsense, and whispered privately: What is this Zhao Gao doing? It's obviously a deer or a horse! Ministers see Zhao Gao sinister smile on his face, eyes staring at you in turn, suddenly understand Zhao Gao's intention.

Some timid people with a sense of justice bow their heads and dare not speak, because telling lies is sorry for their conscience, and telling the truth is afraid of being hurt by Zhao Gao in the future. Some honest people insist that this is a deer rather than a horse. There are also some adulterers who usually follow Zhao Gao closely and immediately support Zhao Gao's statement and say to the emperor, "This is indeed a swift horse!"

Afterwards, Zhao Gao punished those honest ministers who did not obey him by various means, and even copied them. Soon after, Zhao Gao "defected", and finally, Zhao Gao's plot failed.

2 steal the beam and replace the column

Hu Hai usurped the throne.

Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor. He believed that national unity was the property of later generations. But he thinks he is in good health. He has never set up a prince or appointed an heir. There are two powerful political groups in the court. One is the eldest son Fu Su and Montaigne Group, and the other is the youngest son Hu Hai and Zhao Gao Group. Fu Su is obedient, kind and upright, and enjoys a high reputation throughout the country. Qin Shihuang originally intended to make Fu a prince. In order to exercise him, he was sent to the northern line where the famous Meng Tian was stationed as a supervisor. The youngest son Hu Hai has long been spoiled. At the instigation of eunuch Zhao Gao, he only knew beer and skittles.

In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang made his fifth southern tour, arrived in the plain (near Pingyuan County, Shandong Province), and suddenly fell ill. At this time, Qin Shihuang also knew that his time was up, so he hurriedly summoned the Prime Minister Reese, asked Reese to convey a secret letter, and made Fu a prince. Zhao Gao, the eunuch leader at that time, was in charge of the imperial seal and drafted the imperial edict. Zhao Gao was ambitious and regarded this as a rare opportunity. He deliberately withheld the secret edict and waited for the opportunity.

A few days later, Qin Shihuang died in Zhao Ping (now Guangzong County, Hebei Province). Reese was afraid of political turmoil before the prince came back, so he kept it a secret. Zhao Gao hereby went to see Reese and told him that I still have the letter from the emperor to Fu Su. You and I can decide who to make a prince. Cunning Zhao Gao told Reese that if Fu Su became emperor, he would definitely reuse Meng Tian. By that time, can you sit still in the position of prime minister? In other words, Reese was moved, and the two conspired, forged letters, granted Fu Su death and killed Meng Tian.

Zhao Gao didn't use a single soldier, but stole the column. In this way, he helped the incompetent Hu Hai to become Qin Ershi, which paved the way for his later autocracy and the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

3 burning books and burying Confucianism

Qin Shi Huang

Burning books and burying Confucianism occurred in the Qin Dynasty in ancient China. In the thirty-fourth year of Qin Shihuang (2 13 BC), the senior officials of the imperial court simply opposed the "county system" implemented at that time and demanded that the children be enfeoffed according to the ancient system. Li Si, the prime minister, retorted, arguing that "Confucian scholars" (scholars) should not learn from the previous dynasties, but should learn from officials as teachers.

In the second year, 2 12 BC, Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng, the magicians looking for the elixir for Qin Shihuang, not only failed to find the elixir, but also slandered Qin Shihuang with words and then fled. Qin Shihuang was furious and ordered to go to Xianyang.

According to Historical Records of Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang was furious when he learned of his death, and said, "I used to collect useless books in the world. There are many literary alchemists who want to promote peace and prosperity, and alchemists want to practice magical drugs. If you don't report it, Xu's expenses will be tens of thousands, and he won't get the medicine in the end. Lu Sheng and others have been very kind to me, but now they slander me, which is not good for Jyuugo. Born in Xianyang, I make people ask questions or swear by them. " So I suggested asking the students about the case, and the students told each other about it. It is because more than 460 people who broke the ban are in Xianyang, so that the world can know and punish them. Gradually, I moved to the border. This is recorded as "burning poetry books and cheating magicians" in Historical Records.
