The humble use their achievements to pave the ladder of success, while the proud may slide into the abyss of failure because of their achievements. Chen Sheng bravely led his partners to rebel, and achieved remarkable results in the early days of the uprising.
Chen Sheng's dream when he was young was diametrically opposed to reality "Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other" Chen Sheng's oath with his companions when he was young was forgotten after he made his career. His old acquaintances, seeing that he had developed and lived in the palace, came to see him.
However, a former farmer was turned away at the palace gate because of his shabby clothes. Despite the rejection, the partner did not give up, and eventually ran into him on the road that Chen Sheng was passing by.
After three days of starvation, he seized the opportunity to directly call out Chen Sheng's nickname. Although Chen Sheng felt uncomfortable, he brought the hillbilly back to the palace and wanted to show off his achievements.
Chen Sheng's story reveals the huge gulf between a young man's dreams and reality.
Wang Er is a straightforward person, and when he saw Chen Sheng's current life, he couldn't help blurting out: "Dog leftovers, you are developed, it's really good!" When Chen Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, so he decided to let Wang Er live in his palace for a while.
However, Wang Er was upright by nature and thought that he was very familiar with Chen Sheng, so he told some old things between them to the people in the palace. These "affectionate memories" made Chen Sheng deeply embarrassed, and even caused Chen Sheng's dissatisfaction, and finally attracted Chen Sheng's severe punishment.
Such things were not uncommon, and Chen Sheng allowed his friends to live a good life in the palace, but because they were too keen to talk about Chen Sheng's past, it made Chen Sheng feel very embarrassed.
Chen Sheng ordered his men to kill these "mouthy" fellow villagers. Not only that, Chen Sheng was just as indifferent to his family. His father-in-law came to see him, but Chen Sheng only sat on his throne with a cold attitude.
The old man saw that his son-in-law was so ruthless, so he said goodbye without saying goodbye in a fit of anger, and left cruel words: "What is it, the days will not last long." When Chen Sheng became the queen, he forgot his original intention and put on a new face.
This kind of behavior will only lead him to a dead end, and lay a hidden danger for his short-term road to kingship.
Chen Sheng, a general of the late Qin uprising, co-founded the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history with Wu Guang. At that time, the people were living in poverty, Chen Sheng led a group of poor people to revolt in Daze Township, he raised his arms and shouted, and received a warm response from the masses, and the uprising achieved initial success.
However, after Chen Sheng's uprising, the advance of the ranks was rapid, and they seized some land. It didn't take long for Chen Sheng to proclaim himself king. However, his friends advised him that the revolution had not yet succeeded and that everyone needed to continue their efforts.
Proclaiming you king now just after occupying a little place will make the world think that you are selfish, and it will not be conducive to unity. The most urgent task now is to enter Xianyang in one go, and then it will be a matter of course to claim the title of king again.
Chen Sheng did not agree with his partner's opinion, but told him to shut up. He was called queen, and his attitude changed drastically. built a palace for himself, set up **, and posed as a prosperous emperor.
Despite the hard work of his generals outside, Chen Sheng imagined the future alone in the newly completed palace. He ordered a famous calligrapher to write the phrase "The Ambition of the Bird" into a banner and hung it on the wall of his palace.
Looking at this slogan every day, Chen Sheng's heart was full of joy. From a barefoot person to a master, Chen Sheng will naturally be proud. However, excessive pride and complacency can damage the ego.
The reason why Chen Sheng was able to achieve some achievements was that in addition to his own efforts, the strength of others could not be ignored. If Chen Sheng's personal desires continue to swell, he will lose the support of the people, and eventually his good life will be fluctuating in the wind and rain.
The complex composition of Chen Sheng's rebel army and its lack of adequate training led to fierce internal struggles, which eventually led to the loss of important generals to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng thought that he was wise, overconfident, and selfish, which caused the heroes and heroes around him to be disheartened and leave him one after another. All that was left around him were villains and opportunists.
Chen Sheng's rebel army was not commanded by a general, so he adopted the wrong strategy, and was defeated by the powerful Qin state. After Wu Guang's death, Chen Sheng's army was discouraged, and Chen Sheng could only flee in all directions like a mouse, but the pursuers continued.
He fled to his hometown, but along the way he did not reflect on his mistakes, and still indulged in his own glory and wealth. He even angrily accused the groom who was driving and insulted him without any bottom line, and in the end the groom couldn't bear it and tricked Chen Sheng into getting out of the car, so Chen Sheng lost the opportunity to escape.
Chen Sheng was defenseless, and the groom ruthlessly stabbed his sword into his heart. Chen Sheng didn't have time to react at all, and was defeated by the horseman. The groom also cut off Chen Sheng's head and took it to the Qin army to receive a reward.
Chen Sheng went from rise to fall in just 6 months. All this is the result of his own fault. As the ancients said, "You must not live if you have done your own iniquity." When Chen Sheng rebelled, the central system of the Qin Dynasty, although chaotic, had not yet reached the point of collapse at the touch of a button.
Chen Sheng dared to lead the uprising, showing his courage and courage. Chen Sheng was able to win the support of everyone because he vowed to lead everyone out of the predicament of oppression.
However, when he became the leader, he forgot his previous oaths and promises, and his selfishness was obvious, and he finally lost his mass base. Chen Sheng also inflated himself because of a small victory, which made the talents in the army extremely disappointed in him.
Therefore, the tragedy of Chen Sheng's transformation from being the king to finally failing was completely the poisonous wine he brewed and the poisonous wine he drank.
