He is the mastermind of Zhao Gao's dune plot and the main figure of Qin Empire in the future. For two thousand years, little is known about Zhao Gao's life experience, and there are many misunderstandings.
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Gao was demoted as a eunuch, and so was his family. This false prejudice continues to this day. We know that Zhao Gao is a man with children. His daughter married Yan Le. He was ordered by Xianyang to participate in the king's coup. This is obvious evidence that Zhao Gao is not a eunuch.
Actually Sima Qian never said that Zhao Gao was a eunuch. Not only did Sima Qian not say that Zhao Gao was a eunuch, but all the historical books before the Eastern Han Dynasty were not recorded. Zhao Gao was misunderstood by officials because of the wrong understanding of the word "official" and the ugly misinterpretation of the word "Yin Gong" based on mistakes.
According to records, Zhao Gao is an official, and he is an official. This is a material that Zhao Gao was misunderstood as a eunuch. However, according to the newly unearthed Biography of Lisi, "official" means working in the palace.
An official is a person who works in the palace, equivalent to a king or emperor's bodyguard minister. The official register is used to enter and leave the palace gate.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, no matter the appellations such as "official", "official" and "eunuch", they did not refer to the official position of castrated men in the palace, that is, the so-called "eunuch" in later generations. At that time, the castrated person was called "eunuch", and the eunuch who served in the palace was called "eunuch", which had a very clear definition.
According to this latest material, Zhao Gao is a court official, that is, a close minister of the emperor, and has not been castrated by officials.
Say "Zhao Gao brothers live in seclusion". This is another material that Zhao Gao was misinterpreted as a eunuch. The word "hidden palace" has an unknown meaning.
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, a man named Liu used this theme to annotate the bamboo slips of Zhangjiashan Han Tomb. He interpreted the "palace" of the "hidden palace" as castration, and then went on to say that Zhao Gao's father was castrated, and his mother and others gave birth to the Zhao Gao brothers. Zhao Gao's younger brother, surnamed Zhao, was castrated and became a eunuch.
The bigger the lie, the better the story, and the better the story. So, after the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Gao was an official eunuch and gradually settled down. Ma, an expert in Qin history, has long pointed out that the word "Zhao Gao brothers were born in a hidden palace" is a misprint of "a hidden official".
After it was unearthed in 1920, the meaning of seclusion became clearer. Seclusion refers to the workplace and identity of released prisoners, and has nothing to do with castration and castration.
Gu Jiegang, a famous historian, has a very famous conclusion, which is called the ancient history formed by layers. Teacher Gu believes that the ancient history we see today is no longer original, but has been constantly transformed and rewritten, adding the taste that all previous generations liked. To understand the true ancient history, we must clean up the additions of past dynasties and restore the truth of ancient times.
Because the eunuch died in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu's misinterpretation echoed the people's hatred of eunuchs at that time, and everyone was willing to spread the rumor that the capital of national subjugation was a eunuch. In the Tang Dynasty, the eunuch's autocratic power was chaotic, and the ghost of the ancient eunuch's national subjugation still existed. In the atmosphere of analogical condemnation, Zhao Gao is a eunuch's gossip, which develops naturally and is inconclusive.
In the Ming Dynasty, the scourge of eunuchs became more and more serious. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great eunuch Li was still running amok in the Cixi Palace, and people's hatred of eunuchs could not be beaten.
The misinterpreted history has been passed down from generation to generation as the official history until today. However, these are all
Zhao Gao was born in the late Qin Dynasty and Zhao, probably in Zhao's 51st year, in Xianyang and Qin Dou. At that time, the war between Qin State and Zhao Changping was in the late stage, and Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was besieged by Qin Jun. Three years ago, Qin Shihuang was born in Handan. At this time, he and his mother were trapped in the city and were always in fear.
It is also interesting to think that Qin Shihuang and Zhao Gao were basically the same age, which also played a role in communication and destruction in history. Qin Shihuang's father is the royal family of Qin State. Betrothed to Zhao by Qin State and married to Zhao Guoren. Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao, and later destroyed Zhao. Zhao Gao's ancestor was Zhao's royal family. He was betrothed to Qin and married. Zhao Gao was born in Xianyang, Qin Dou, and later destroyed the State of Qin.
Liu Bang, another peer, was born in Pei County, Chu in the same year. More than forty years later, he joined hands with Zhao Gao to destroy the Qin Dynasty, and soon inherited the legacy of Qin Shihuang, and established the Han Dynasty with Qin Wei as the center.
As for another important figure related to the rise and fall of the Qin empire, Li Si, now an adult, is about twenty-five years old and is working as a small official in Chu. These people who will promote history have not collided, but are scattered everywhere, silently waiting for the call of history.
Because his father is a language judge and strict with his children, the Zhao Gao brothers probably studied reading, writing and law under their father's supervision from an early age, laying a solid grammar foundation. Zhao Gao is smart, agile, studious and tenacious.
His grammar career may be smooth sailing. Children aged 17 from British judges entered the study room with excellent results. Three years later, they passed the qualification examination and were dismissed as history. Then pass the primary examination, and the best one is appointed as the Chinese judge of the history class.
Three years later, he took the advanced selection exam, won the first place again, entered the court of the king of Qin, served as a minister, and worked directly as a secretary beside the king of Qin.
Among thousands of grammar officials in the state of Qin, Zhao is an outstanding one. After Zhao Gao entered the DPRK, his dynamic ability began to directly enter the vision of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, the future Qin Shihuang.
Zhao Gao was about twenty-three years old when he entered the DPRK, and his time was about thirteen years in the Qin Dynasty. This year, Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, was 26 years old. In the fifth year after he ascended the throne, he began to make great achievements in politics. The bureaucratic system in Qin dynasty is tight and complete, and the promotion of civil judges is mostly routine.
Zhao Gao is very lucky. During his tenure in Qin Gong, he was directly appreciated by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. He stood out among many ministers in Shaofu and was appointed as Commander-in-Chief of CRRC.
Zhao Gao was appointed as the CRRC Palace Order, which was personally selected and appointed by Ying Zheng, King of Qin. Zhao Gao was deeply appreciated by Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. In addition to outstanding test scores, personal ability and intelligence after entering Qin Gong are the main factors.
Zhao Gao's calligraphy is first-class, and the huge Qin Empire is unparalleled except Prime Minister Reese. Zhao Gao's accomplishments in primary schools in China are also extremely profound. He made great contributions to the later Qin Dynasty reform.
He wrote six Historical Records, which are part of the official literacy textbook of Qin Dynasty, and also a famous philology work.
The exquisiteness of Zhao Gao's calligraphy is only the preparation and result of his study of criminal law and prison law. In the complicated and strict legal system of Qin, Zhao is a professional who is proficient in law and a famous jurist with family background.
In his later years, Qin Shihuang entrusted his exquisite accomplishments in writing, calligraphy and law to his youngest son, Hu Hai.
History books say that Zhao Gao worked hard, persevered and made decisive decisions, which is an overview of his outstanding administrative talents. Of course, this is also one of the elements that he was appreciated by Qin Shihuang. However, Zhao Gao was promoted to CRRC by Ying Zheng, King of Qin, because Zhao Gao was suitable for this position.
Zhong Fuling is the emperor's attendant, the monitor of chariots and horses, ha.
Qualified taxi drivers are required to be under forty years old and over seven feet five inches tall; Energetic, able to chase galloping horses; Flexible, can ride up and down; Can skillfully use cars, can drive around; Strong and powerful, able to control the banner in the car; Strong martial arts, able to draw eight stone crossbows and gallop the front and rear bows.
Che Fuling, the master of Che Fu's official family, is a top master of royal cars and essence. As you can imagine, Zhao Gao, a commander of CRRC, is tall and strong. He is good at horseback riding, archery and sword weapons, and his martial arts are extraordinary. He is a rare talent with both civil and military skills in the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Gao's promotion to CRRC Palace is of great significance. Its significance lies not only in the promotion of status, but also in the core and center of Qin regime. If the opportunity is right, it can directly affect the world political situation. Zhao Gao was about forty years old when he became the commander of CRRC. He is in his prime and has a bright future.
But under the autocratic system, under the hierarchical system and under the monarch, everyone is a chess piece, not to mention emergencies, and life is at stake.
Just when the future was promising, Zhao Gao broke the law and committed a big crime in prison. Qin Shihuang ordered his minister Meng Yi to give it a try. As a result of the trial, Zhao Gao was sentenced to death, dismissed from office, deprived of his official position in the palace and awaiting execution. Because it involves the personal relationship of the emperor, it matters a lot. Meng _ did not dare to hide it, so he wrote directly to the first emperor to decide the case and the trial result.
At the beginning, the emperor could not bear to treasure it. I remember that Zhao Gao has been around for many years, and only quick and hard work can make a difference. He ordered Zhao Gao to be pardoned and reinstated. The ins and outs of this matter are not recorded in the history books.
However, from the later history, this incident had a great impact on Zhao Gao's life, the plot of sand dunes, the fate of Montessori family and even the demise of the Qin Empire.
