Before Qin Shi Huang died, three monsters occurred in a row, was it a mandate of heaven or man-made?
Ying Zheng was the first emperor to unify the Six Kingdoms, and he gave all the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty a chance to fight.
Unfortunately, Qin Shi Huang's painstakingly managed unified regime lasted only fifteen years before it was dismantled by his son Hu Hai.
Qin Shi Huang died early, living only 51 years. Unfortunately, before he could pass the throne to Duke Su, he died on the way back to the palace.
As we all know, Qin Shi Huang died of illness, there is no doubt about this. However, before Qin Shi Huang's death, three strange things happened that made people speculate whether Qin Shi Huang's death was so sudden and premeditated.
Ying Zheng lost his father at a young age and was only 13 years old when he ascended the throne. But he realized his desire to unify the world with amazing strength, avoided the pursuit of several generations of Qin kings, concentrated the imperial power in his own hands, and got rid of the Marquis of Longxin who hurt the Empress Dowager Zhao and the prime minister Lü Buwei, who had led the government for many years.
He was ambitious and wanted to use the same language, the same rules, the same currency, and the same weights and measures. Under the orders of Ying Zheng, the Xiongnu, Baiyue and other barbarians were killed.
A meteorite suddenly appeared, and Qin Shi Huang was shocked.
However, Qin Shi Huang attached great importance to imperial power, and he did whatever it took to find the elixir of life and become the first immortal emperor. But how could he go against the will of Heaven?
There is a folk legend that a meteorite fell to the earth. This happened in 211 BC, a year before the death of Qin Shi Huang.
The meteorite was found in Dongjun (present-day Puyang City, Henan Province). Meteorites falling from the sky are not uncommon, so the ancient aborigines thought it was most likely a meteorite.
But unusually, it is clearly written on the meteorite"The first emperor is dead, and the world is divided"。
Everyone said that Qin Shi Huang died soon after, and the Great Qin Empire fell apart, which is providence. When Qin Shi Huang found out, he was furious and arrested all the people who were talking about the matter and killed them.
Of course, this strange thing, when we look at the year with the current eyes, we will no longer feel strange, of course, this is just the person who hated Qin Shi Huang, this person who hated Qin Shi Huang made a little move, deliberately found a stone carving, and then carried out propaganda, its intention is nothing more than to discredit Qin Shi Huang.
However, this person accurately predicted that Qin Shi Huang would be the world's generals after his death, which is really surprising.
A year before Qin Shi Huang's death, he felt that his body was deteriorating, and the meteorite incident made his heart tremble, but soon after, another strange thing happened in the world.
Astrology and prophecy.
The ancients used to observe the stars to be good for good fortune and bad luck, but there was a very bad omen at that time, called flow. This astrological sign foreshadows the death of great people, such as kings or princes.
Although Qin Shi Huang was secretly jealous of this astrological sign, he believed that he was the son of destiny, because he overcame all odds and dangers to dominate the world and establish the Great Qin Empire.
Since it is the destiny of heaven and becoming the emperor of the world, it is naturally not so easy to be robbed of life. As the Son of Heaven, Qin Shi Huang firmly believed that the heavens would also favor him. The astrology was correct, but he sadly passed away the following year.
In addition to these two events, another strange thing happened during the reign of Qin Shi Huang. It was after the unification of the world, and Qin Shi Huang encountered this incident during a trip.
Warning of the river god.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang and his party were about to cross a river, and according to superstition, he threw a piece of jade into the river.
This is a very precious piece of jade, which Qin Shi Huang did to pay homage to the river god. Although there was no grand ceremony, this piece of jade represented the sincerity of Qin Shi Huang.
After returning to the palace, Qin Shi Huang forgot about it. After all, sacrificing to the gods is commonplace. But a few years later, when Qin Shi Huang traveled again, he met an old man, who accidentally took out this piece of jade that had been sacrificed to the river god and told the people around Qin Shi Huang that Zulong would die this year.
The ancestral dragon is the oldest dragon in Chinese mythology, and Qin Shi Huang used the ancestral dragon as a metaphor to highlight his unprecedented abilities and exploits.
Qin Shi Huang was furious when he learned of this, but when he sent a few people to look for the old man who offered the jade, he could not be found at all. Of course, not long after this incident, Qin Shi Huang really died.
The ancients believed that all this was the will of God, that God wanted to get rid of the tyrant Yingzheng, and that God had warned him twice that the third time would directly take his life.
In today's advanced science and technology, these three strange things can no longer be classified as gods and ghosts. Even if we don't know who did it, in the last period of Qin Shi Huang's reign, there were too many people who wanted to kill.
Many people did not have the ability to assassinate Qin Shi Huang in person, so they made up some stories to scare and curse Qin Shi Huang, which more or less led to Qin Shi Huang's self-destruction.
In addition, there were many old carpenters and magicians at that time, and they probably did not know which old man was behind the cursing of Qin Shi Huang.
Before the death of Qin Shi Huang, three strange things happened one after another, was it providence or man-made?
