Ying Zheng’s efforts to compensate for his inferiority complex seem to have injected youthful blood into his life. He is lively and energetic, like a wild horse that keeps galloping, and never looks back, only knows to move forward bravely. But on the other hand, Jia said that his life only belongs to youth, only to making contributions, expanding territory and endless conquest.
Ying Zheng’s efforts to compensate for his inferiority complex seem to have injected youthful blood into his life. He is lively and energetic, like a wild horse that keeps galloping, and never looks back, only knows to move forward bravely. But on the other hand, Jia said that his life only belongs to youth, only to making contributions, expanding territory and endless conquest. When the world is unified, the sea is calm, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, his enemies, opponents and opposites gradually disappear, and his life becomes an empty shell, which is meaningless. However, he has always been a person who is unwilling to be lonely. He can’t tolerate stop, silence, and the waste of life. He wants to continue to make contributions and create miracles on earth. As a result, he collected money recklessly, spread rumors and labor indiscriminately, and built a huge palace. It is said that Qin Afang’s official was a large-scale official, who built and wore female Wei, “covering jade for more than 300 miles and isolating the sky”., “Two rivers dissolve and flow into the palace walls. Five steps on the first floor, ten steps on the first Pavilion; the corridor waist eel returns, and the eaves teeth peck high; each holds the terrain, and intrigues.”. The palace can accommodate more than 100000 people. Yingzheng built such a grand palace not so much to satisfy his own desire for pleasure, but rather an expansive desire to “be higher than the sky”, which is the unique act of depressed personality.
At the same time, Ying Zheng started his long-distance cruise in a gold and silver cart driven by six horses, surrounded by a large number of civil and military officials, near courtiers, empresses and concubines. Everywhere he went, a stone tablet was erected as a memorial, which praised his great achievements and lofty dignity in conquering the six countries and unifying the world, fully showing his arrogant characteristics. He sealed a naked Songji puppet “five doctors” in Mount Tai. Because he was jealous of the two beautiful and virtuous women in Xiangshan temple – Xiang God, he ordered to cut down all the trees in Xiangshan temple, burn Xiangshan temple, and give them a bare hill.
Ying Zheng’s third tour was shocking. The assassin bought by young master Ji (Zhang Liang) of South Korea flew a 120 pound hammer from the mountain and smashed a passenger car. After Jingke assassinated Qin for ten years, death once again came to him in a fierce and cruel form. Worry about death makes Yingzheng feel overwhelmed. He has gained everything and conquered everything, but he can’t conquer death. Death through disease is gradually destroying his strong body.
Just one year before his assassination (219 BC), he toured the hometown of the state of Qi. Xu Shi (Xu Fu) and other people of Qi wrote that there were three fairy mountains in the East China Sea, including Pengcai, abbot and Yingzhou. The immortals living on the mountains had immortality in their hands. Therefore, he sent thousands of boys and girls led by Xushi to the sea to look for magic drugs, trying to alleviate the tension between success and death fear in this way. Xushi never came back, and there was no news. Yingzheng also sent the alchemist Lu Sheng to look for the legendary ancient ningzhao mountain of Xianmen and Gaoshi, and Han Zhong, Hou Gong and Shi Sheng to look for the elixir of immortality, but there was still no result.
Lu Sheng said to Yingzheng, “when ministers ask for Ganoderma lucidum, strange drugs and immortals, they often can’t see them, because there are taboos in the objects. According to the magic of immortals, the emperor, as the Lord, must be tiny to avoid evil spirits and evil spirits. He hopes that the palace where his majesty lives will not be known, so that he can get the medicine of immortality.”. As a result, Ying Zheng ordered that the 270 palaces that attached Cheng Yang within 200 Li were connected with each other by overpasses and corner roads. He himself was unstable in these many palaces. Anyone who dared to name his room was immediately executed. Once, Ying Zheng came to Liangshan palace. From the mountain, he saw the prime minister go out of the palace, accompanied by a large number of cars and horses. He was very unhappy. Later, someone told the prime minister this, and the prime minister reduced the number of cars and horses. After knowing this, Ying Zheng thought that the palace attendants had leaked his words and interrogated him one by one, but no one pleaded guilty. He ordered that all the people present at that time be arrested and killed. Since then, no one knows his whereabouts anymore.
The brutal decision of Yingzheng made many alchemists and scholars panic. Hou Sheng, who was looking for magic medicine for him Lu Sheng discussed together and said: “The first emperor was a man. He was just for his own use. He started from the princes. He annexed the world. He was satisfied and did whatever he wanted. He thought that he had never been able to beat him since ancient times. Although he had more than 70 prison officials, he just made up a few cherry designs and did not appoint them. Pan Xiang and ministers accepted orders, but followed them. The emperor was happy to establish authority with heavy punishment and killing and stabbing, and the officials who held batons in the world were afraid to commit crimes. Honestly, the Emperor didn’t notice it Out of his own fault, he became increasingly arrogant. His subordinates did a few things and begged for shelter. According to the law of the Qin Dynasty, if the offer is not effective, the person should be executed immediately. What should I do… “
They simply ran away.
Ying Zheng was furious when he learned that he had been cheated. He said, “it is planned to call Lai alchemists to visit all over the country to seek strange drugs. They didn’t get the strange drugs. They left without saying goodbye. People in Xushi spent tens of thousands of dollars looking for immortals, but they still didn’t get it. They just listened to each other denouncing illegal profits every day. Lu Sheng and others I respect very much on weekdays, and the reward is very generous. Now I don’t just run away, but also please slander!”,
He ordered a group of Confucian scholars in Xianyang to be arrested and brought to justice. They were severely interrogated and the slanderers were traced. Those Confucian scholars could not afford to be severely beaten, so they informed each other and excused themselves. Ying Zheng personally delineated more than 460 Confucian scholars and buried them alive for the crimes of “slander” and “begging for blasphemy”. This is the “entrapment of Confucianism” incident.
