The life of Qin Gongzi Fusu

1. Dare to give direct advice

Fu Su, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang. In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang (212 BC), Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng ridiculed each other and commented on Qin Shihuang's violence, and fled away because of this. Qin Shihuang was furious after hearing the news, so he ordered the censor to arrest and interrogate the sorcerers in Xianyang City. The magicians reported on each other, and Qin Shihuang personally sentenced more than 460 people who violated the law and buried them alive in Xianyang.

In response to the First Emperor's trap of sorcerers, Fusu once wrote a letter to advise the First Emperor of Qin: "The world has just stabilized, and the people in remote areas have not yet surrendered. Confucian scholars have read and imitated Confucius's words, but now His Majesty is using harsh criminal laws. Deal with them, I am worried that the world will be unstable. I hope your majesty will understand." Qin Shihuang was furious, so he sent Fusu to Shangjun to supervise General Meng Tian's army.

2. Forced to commit suicide

In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang (210 BC), Qin Shi Huang once again patrolled the world. In July of that year, when he was seriously ill while traveling to the sand dunes, Qin Shihuang ordered Zhao Gao to write a testament to Fusu. At that time, the posthumous edict had been sealed, but before it could be handed over to the envoys for delivery, Qin Shihuang unfortunately passed away.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, Zhao Gao, Prime Minister Li Si and others conspired with Qin Shihuang's youngest son Hu Hai to tamper with Qin Shihuang's imperial edict and make Hu Hai the crown prince. At the same time, he forged a posthumous edict and gave it to Fusu, listing the sins of Fusu and Mengtian and ordering them to commit suicide.

Hu Hai sent an envoy to deliver the edict to Fusu in Shangjun. When Fusu saw the content of the edict, he walked into the inner house crying and prepared to commit suicide. Meng Tian stopped Fusu and said: "Your Majesty is away now and has not yet established a crown prince. He has sent me to lead an army of 300,000 to guard the border and let you supervise it. This is a major task related to the safety of the world!

Now just because When an envoy arrives, you want to commit suicide. How do you know that this is not a treacherous trick? I beg you to ask for instructions again. It will not be too late to die after asking for instructions!" The envoy kept urging and urging, Fusu said to Meng Tian. : "If a father orders his son to commit suicide, what else should he ask for?" After saying this, he committed suicide and died. After Fusu's death, Hu Hai ascended the throne as the second emperor of Qin.

Fusu had a reputation as a virtuous man, so when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against the tyranny of Qin II in Daze Township, Chen Sheng said: "The world has been ruled by the tyrannical Qin for a long time. I heard that Qin II was the son of Qin Shihuang The younger son should not succeed to the throne, but the son Fusu should succeed. Because Fusu repeatedly advised Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang sent him to lead troops to station in other places.

It is now rumored that Fusu was not involved. He was not guilty, but Qin II killed him. The people heard that Fu Su was wise, but they didn't know that he was dead. . After the death of Chu, some people thought that he was dead, and some people thought that he fled and went into hiding. Now if we pretend to be Prince Fusu and Xiang Yan and issue a call to the people of the world, many people will respond." p>

Memorial for later generations: temple

Fusu Temple is located in Yuanping City, Shanxi Province. It is said that Fusu and General Meng Tian led their troops to build a city and guard the border here. He fought against the Huns, but was framed by treacherous officials and died unjustly. After Fusu's death, the local people built the Fusu Temple here to commemorate Fusu. After that, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuan Hong "sent ministers to offer sacrifices", and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty conferred the title of "King Baizhi" and ordered Yuchi Gong to supervise the expansion of the temple. During the Jianlong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fusu Temple was renamed "Cypress Shrine" because there were several thousand-year-old cypress trees in the temple. Later, it was repaired many times by the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
