Why didn't Qin Shihuang trap the alchemist, but the Confucian scholar?

The wrath of the son of heaven, lying millions, bleeding thousands of miles.

As we all know, after Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, he has been looking for an elixir of life. The most famous alchemist is Xu Fu, and the reason why Qin Shihuang lied to Confucianism was also caused by these alchemists looking for elixir of life.

In the process of searching for the elixir of life in Qin Huang, he gave preferential treatment to many alchemists, hoping that the world would be at peace and achieve immortality. Some of his daily work style, words and deeds are all done according to what the alchemists say, and they give him whatever he wants. As a result, Han finally escaped and spent a lot of money without finding the elixir. The first emperor was most angry with Lu Sheng and others, who were very respectful and polite to them at ordinary times, and were also very kind to such a fairy. It's humble, but Lu Sheng and others knew they couldn't get the elixir, so they followed the example of South Korea and fled quietly. They also said everywhere that the first emperor was cruel and close to cruel officials and liked to use torture. This is terrible. The first emperor immediately ordered the arrest of Lu Sheng and others, hell to pay. As a result, they didn't catch it, which made many Confucian scholars suffer.

Pit Confucianism

Reasons for implicating Confucian scholars: The late Emperor was very angry because Lu Sheng and others were not caught to vent their anger. Think of Lu Sheng and others are Confucian scholars, take it out on Confucian scholars, let people arrest all the Confucian scholars in Xianyang, and ask if there are any people who usually like to talk at sixes and sevens. Some are libel crimes, and if they are implicated again, more than 460 people will be directly implicated and directly executed. Later, the first emperor thought that if the Confucian scholars in Xianyang were killed, the Confucian scholars in other places would definitely talk about it. Therefore, he issued a notice to the world that the first emperor wanted to recruit talents and asked local officials to send Confucian scholars to Xianyang for employment. As a result, some greedy people rushed to Xianyang, almost 700 people.

Design to bury Confucian scholars alive: Qin Huang wanted to catch all these people, so he designed to plant melons and fruits beside the hot springs in a valley near Lishan Mountain. As we all know, seeds will blossom and bear fruit even in cold winter. Qin Huang asked the Confucian scholars, do you know why it is so cold? Many Confucian scholars express their opinions, some say it is auspicious, some say it is a disaster, and there are different opinions. The first emperor said that since everyone had different opinions, we should go to the field and have a look. As a result, when many Confucian scholars entered the valley and were arguing with each other, the officers and men ambushing in the mountains around the valley pushed stones and mud into the valley like rain, and many Confucian scholars were buried alive.

The last answer: tug of war

Brainstorming: The angrier things get, the bigger they get.
