Chapter 544 Shi Sui: Unkind Father, Unfilial Son!
At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the people were almost numb. At this moment, they had no idea when the transition was about to begin!
But from the words of later generations, a tragic fact became clear: no matter who was emperor, they all had little chance of survival!
Even now, scenes flash through my mind, and I seem to hear them echoing in my ears again:
"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"
"When the Yellow Heaven is established... Great fortune will come to the world."
On what grounds should those in high positions so easily take their lives for their own selfish reasons?
It was bad enough that the kings were fighting each other, but instead of cleaning up the mess, things got even worse.
Just because they are from aristocratic families, while we are just ordinary people?
Damn it! They only think of them when they need military or civilian manpower, but they don't treat them very well usually!
Damn, looking at it this way, even Qin Shi Huang's tyrannical Qin Dynasty was better than all this stuff now!
Could someone please come and take them in?!
Yang Jian: Just wait a little while, it will be my turn to turn the tables in three hundred years!
.........
Meanwhile, in the Qin Dynasty, the nobles of the six states couldn't believe it—there was something even more inhuman than the tyrannical Qin Dynasty!
Huh? Why do they seem so relieved?
Given the character of the Sima family and Shi Hu, it seems that falling into their hands would mean total annihilation!
Moreover, why is it that once they've secured a plot of land, they either embark on massive construction projects or indulge in sensual pleasures?
Damn it! Compared to this, even the tyrant Ying Zheng seems like a good guy!?
.........
"If Shi Le still had the appearance of an emperor and the humanity to speak of, then Shi Hu and his son were completely devoid of humanity."
"For example, the Book of Jin mentions that during his tenure, the soldiers fighting in the war had to raise their own funds for things like oxen, carts, and rice!"
"Good, good! Back then, joining the army and fighting didn't earn you much; in fact, you'd have to pay out of pocket!"
"Don't forget, in those days, war was rampant, and natural and man-made disasters were everywhere. It was difficult enough to just survive, let alone have any money or wealth."
"The only result of Han and Zhao's actions is to extinguish their hope of survival!"
"However, even though the people were in such dire straits, Shi Hu of Han and Zhao, or those nobles, still remained indifferent and aloof!"
"As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The more severe the oppression, the easier it is to trigger an uprising. Now that Shi Hu is enslaving and exploiting the Han people, it is perfectly normal for the contradictions to erupt when he issues a decree to kill the Hu people!"
"However, don't be fooled by the later Hu people's mockery of the Sima brothers' bloodshed; they were actually no less ruthless!"
"The same goes for Shi Hu and Shi Sui of the Han-Zhao state. For example, Crown Prince Shi Sui would report everything to Shi Hu, only to be scolded for it. 'You have to show me even trivial matters?'"
"Then, Shi Sui learned his lesson and stopped reporting to him as often, right? Shi Hu got upset again and scolded him for not reporting. What does that mean?!"
"In short, Crown Prince Shi Sui is beaten three times a month and works very frugally. He's a barbarian, and his father is Shi Hu. He has no concept of morality. After all, he doesn't even have a conscience, so where would he get morality from?"
"So when things happen, he is very straightforward and blunt. Since his father treats Shi Sui this way, he feels that there is no need to be a filial son!"
"So he decided to take charge and kill his father first!"
Shi Sui ("forced by circumstances"): My irritable and violent father!
