Volume 3: With a blow of destiny, the king appears. Chapter 44: Great governance of the secular customs, the world follows the trend, and Meng is deprived of menstruation.
When we arrived at the edge of Zhejiang, the waves were dangerous, so we walked 120 miles westward, crossing the narrow river surface, and finally climbed up Kuaiji Mountain to worship Yu the Great, looking at the South China Sea in the distance, and carved stones and erected monuments there.
In addition to praising the merits of the Qin Dynasty, the inscription also has the purpose of rectifying the customs of Wu and Yue. According to the book "Rizhilu" written by Gu Yanwu, a novice in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou Jian of Yue encouraged fertility to increase the population in order to counterattack the state of Wu. This resulted in the culture of the people in the Wuyue area not paying attention to chastity, so he ordered people to inscribe the inscription on it. Decorating the province to declare righteousness, marrying with a son is double the risk of unfaithfulness. Separate the inside and outside, prohibit sexual immorality, and ensure the sincerity of men and women. My husband sent me a pig, so I killed him without any guilt, because he was a man of justice. The wife escaped from marriage, and the son lost his mother, so he became an honest man. The full text of the inscription is as follows:
The emperor Xiu Lie is peaceful, virtuous and slender. Thirty-seven years, personally patrolling the world, looking around and far away. Then he went to Kuaiji to announce the customs of the province and Zhai Village in Qianshou.
The ministers chanted their merits, followed the original deeds, and followed the leader's brilliant achievements. When Qin Sheng came to the country, he began to determine the names of punishments, which showed the old rules. At the beginning, the law was established, and the duties were reviewed to establish permanence.
The six kings are more powerful, greedy, ruthless, arrogant and fierce, leading the people to strengthen themselves. He acts violently and recklessly, and is arrogant despite his strength. Yin Tong Xian makes things consistent and acts in a new way.
The interior was scammed, and the foreign invasion was invaded. The righteousness and power will be punished, the violent rebellion will be extinguished, and the rebels will be destroyed. Holy virtue is vast and dense, and it is boundless in the world.
The emperor is in charge of the whole world and listens to all things, making everything clear from far to near. Manage things, test facts, and record their names. The noble and the humble are both connected, good and bad are revealed, and there is a hidden secret in everything.
Decorated with the provincial princes, marrying a son, and dying. Separate the inside and outside, and prohibit lewdness. Men and women are sincere. My husband sent me a pig, so I killed him without any guilt. Male Bing Yi Cheng.
The wife escaped from marriage, and the son lost his mother, so he became incorruptible. The great governance of the customs of zhuozu, the world inherited the wind, and Meng was menopausal. Everyone obeys the rules, is harmonious, and does not disobey orders.
Qin Shihuang then turned back from Kuaiji Mountain and passed through Wu, with great momentum. The uncles and nephews of Xiang Liang and Xiang Ji (also known as Xiang Yu) who were living in the local area also saw it, and Xiang Ji even said that I could replace him.
Although Xiang Liang was worried that Xiang Ji's misfortune would come out of his mouth and cause the family to be punished, so he immediately silenced Xiang Ji, but from then on Xiang Liang began to look at Xiang Ji differently.
After crossing the Yangtze River, Qin Shihuang went north along the coast to Langyatai. This is the third time Qin Shihuang has arrived at Langyatai. He summoned the alchemist Xu Shi locally. It had been nine years since he first met Xu Shi.
According to the description in "Historical Records of Qin Shihuang", Xu Shi had not yet crossed the sea to the east to obtain the elixir, so it was inferred that he met Qin Shihuang. Xu Shi then crossed the sea eastward.
Because Xu Shi spent a lot of money in the process of searching for the elixir, he was afraid of facing Qin Shihuang's thunderous wrath. Therefore, the excuse is that although it is possible to obtain the Penglai elixir, it is always blocked by the giant mackerel, so it is impossible to reach the Immortal Island. It is requested to send more archers and equipment to deal with the mackerel.
Not long after, Qin Shihuang dreamed of fighting Poseidon at night. Poseidon looked like a human. He was puzzled and invited a doctor to interpret the dream. The doctor pointed out that Poseidon always used big fish and dragons as scouts. Most people would not dream of Poseidon, but Qin Shihuang was there. In terms of sacrifice, the gods are respectful and considerate, but this kind of evil god appears. It should be eliminated, and then the real good god can be ushered in.
Therefore, Qin Shihuang agreed to Xu Shi's request and sent archers to hunt the sharks. From Langya to the north until Rongcheng Mountain (now Rongcheng City, Shandong Province), no mackerel was encountered. It was not until Zhifu (now Zhifu District, Yantai City, Shandong Province) that he shot a big fish, and then headed west along the coast. Go ahead. However, Xu Shi has disappeared, and the elixir of immortality that Qin Shihuang hoped for has never been obtained.
After traveling along the coast of the Shandong Peninsula, Qin Shi Huang suddenly fell seriously ill when he arrived at Pingyuanjin (now Pingyuan County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province) in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. The ministers knew that Qin Shihuang was taboo about the word death, so they did not dare to talk about death, but Qin Shihuang's condition still did not improve.
Qin Shihuang knew that his time was short, so he ordered someone to write a letter with the imperial seal to his eldest son Fusu, who was monitoring Mengtian's troops in Shangjun (near today's Yulin, Shaanxi), and ordered Fusu to return to Xianyang to attend the funeral. However, the suicide note was stored in the office of Zhao Gao, the CRRC magistrate and seal official, and was not delivered to Fusu.
In 210 BC (July 37th of the 37th year of Qin Shihuang), Qin Shihuang passed away on the sand dune platform (now Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province). Coincidentally, the place where Qin Shihuang was born and died was only more than 100 kilometers apart.
After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he carried out five large-scale tours, carved stones in famous mountain resorts to record his achievements, and showed off his prestige. In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign (210 BC), Qin Shihuang returned to Pingyuanjin on his last tour and fell ill. In the seventh month of autumn, while walking to the sand dune platform, Qin Shihuang passed away at the age of fifty.
The description of this paragraph in "Historical Records of Qin Shihuang": TravelingIn the tenth month of the thirty-seventh year of Guichou, the First Emperor went on a trip. ; Died on Bingyin in July, the First Emperor collapsed on the sand dune platform. , the Qin calendar begins with the tenth month of the lunar calendar as the beginning of the year. There is no Bingyin day in July this year.
Prime Minister Li Si was afraid of changes in the world, so he kept the funeral secret and carried the coffin in a carriage. When they arrived, all the officials were performing their duties as usual, and the eunuchs could often see them from their cars. Only Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and five or six eunuchs knew about it. Li Si, who pretended to be the prime minister, received the imperial edict from the First Emperor in Shaqiu and made his son Hu Hai the crown prince. He also wrote a letter to the young masters Fusu and Mengtian, and gave them death. It is the change of sand dune. In July of this year, there is no Bingyin day on Bingzi luo, but there is Bingyin day on Bingwu luo in August. In August Bingyin (September 10, 210 BC), he went from Zhidao to Xianyang and mourned. Prince Hu Hai ascended the throne and became the second emperor, and the world became aware of the death of Qin Shihuang.
In the seventh month of autumn, the death of the First Emperor of Qin was kept secret and no mourning was announced. Only Hu Hai, Li Si, Zhao Gao and five or six other officials knew about it. In the eighth month, Bingyin (September 10) came to Xianyang for the funeral, and the whole world knew about the death of the First Emperor of Qin. ) Bingyin day is the day of mourning, but the specific date of Qin Shihuang's death is not known. Due to the war in the late Qin Dynasty, many historical materials of the Qin Dynasty were lost. Sima Qian searched many places and learned that Qin Shihuang died in Bingyin in the seventh month of autumn. In the seventh month of the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin, there was no Bingyin day, but in August, there was Bingwu lunar day, but there was a Bingyin day. Sima Qian did not do research and wrote it into "Historical Records", which was a major failure of "Historical Records".
Qin Shihuang ordered the prince Fusu, who was supervising the army in Shangjun (near today's Yulin, Shaanxi Province), to be buried and to succeed to the throne. However, Zhao Gao colluded with Hu Hai, the youngest son of the First Emperor, and Prime Minister Li Si. After Qin Shihuang's death, he forged a posthumous edict and established Hu Hai as emperor, the second emperor of Qin, and granted the death of the crown prince Fusu. Shortly after Qin II ascended the throne, a large-scale peasant rebellion broke out led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. In October 207 BC, three years after the death of Qin Shihuang, Prince Qin Ying surrendered to Chu general Liu Bang, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.
Shortly after the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Nanhaiwei Renxiao fell seriously ill. Before his death, he summoned Zhao Tuo from Zhending County, Hengshan County (now Zhengding County, Hebei Province), who was the magistrate of Longchuan at that time, and told Zhao Tuo that although Nanhai County was located in a remote place, It is far away from the Central Plains, but covers an area of ??thousands of miles, is close to mountains and seas, and has dangers. It can be used to become the lord of a state. He also mentioned that he has plans to cut off the road to the Central Plains to resist the invasion of the Central Plains bandits.
Because of his trust in Zhao Tuo's ability, Ren Xiao did not tell anyone else about his plans except Zhao Tuo. Later, he handed the appointment documents to Zhao Tuo and asked him to act as the county lieutenant of Nanhai County.
Ren Xiao died of illness soon after, and Zhao Tuo, who succeeded him as Nanhaiwei, went to Hengpu Pass (now north of Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province), Yangshanguan (now north of Yangshan County, Guangdong Province), Huangxiguan (now Yingde, Guangdong Province) in the south of Lingnan. The troops at various passes in the county (where the Lianjiang River flows into Beijiang) and other passes conveyed orders to defend themselves in danger to prevent the insurgents from the Central Plains from invading. They also took the opportunity to kill the officials who had been placed in Nanhai County by the Qin Dynasty and replaced them with their own cronies.
In 206 BC, the Qin Dynasty fell. At this time, the Yue people in Guilin and Xiang counties also took the opportunity to become independent. Shu Pan, a descendant of the ancient Shu royal family, defeated other Luoyue tribe leaders in Xiang County and led to Luocheng (now Hanoi City, Vietnam). Dongying County) established the Ouluo Kingdom as the capital and called himself King Anyang. (To be continued.)
