Why was Li Si of Qin beheaded?

Reese was framed by Zhao Gao and beheaded by Qin Ershi for preventing Qin Ershi from building the Arabian Palace.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Hu Hai, Qin Ershi, recruited workers extensively to build Epang Palace, pushing people's lives into the abyss of pain. Reese and then Prime Minister Qin went to Hu Hai to persuade him to give up building Epang Palace.

At that time, Hu Hai was playing with ladies-in-waiting. He was very angry after seeing the advice of Reese and others, so he ordered Reese and others to be arrested and imprisoned. Reese wrote to Hu Hai many times in prison, but was stopped by Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao framed Reese because he was afraid of him and told Hu Hai that Reese and his son were going to rebel. Finally, Reese was forced to admit that he wanted to rebel because he couldn't stand Zhao Gao's torture. In 208 BC, Lisi and his son were beheaded by Hu Hai, and the three families were punished.

In July 208 BC, Lisi was beheaded in Xianyang, and Zhao Gao took people to Shangcai to copy Lisi's home. He brutally dug three feet in the whole Reese's former residence, and the deepest part reached more than ten feet.

Over time, it has become a pit full of reeds. In order to commemorate Lisikeng, later generations called this place Lisikeng. Outside the east gate of Lisi's former residence is a marshland with lush forests and no weeds, where groups of fat rabbits haunt.

After work, Reese often takes his son there to hunt. Reese was obsessed with it until he was killed. On the way to the execution ground, Reese sighed to his son with tears in his eyes: I want to go out with you again and lead a yellow dog to chase a cunning rabbit.

Lisilou is the former residence of Lisilou in the countryside. After Li Silou was killed, his youngest son survived under the cover of relatives and friends and hid in Li Silou. Until now, all the residents of Lisilou Village are surnamed Li.

He claimed to be a descendant of Reese, surrounded by Zhou Songbai with flowers and trees. Not far from the west of the tomb, there are Li Si Paomagang and Li Si Yinmajian. It is said that Li Si used to ride a horse here when he was young. When the horse is thirsty, it drinks horses in this ravine, which is called Happy Valley and Drinking Horse Valley by later generations.
