Why was the wise Emperor Qin Shihuang of SHEN WOO fooled by Xu Fu?

Qin Shihuang was cheated by his husband because of his obsession with immortality and fear of death. Therefore, even if there is a one-thousandth chance, he will choose to trust Cui Fu. What's more, what Cui Fu wants is not money and manpower. For Qin Shihuang, it was not something that did not endanger his rule. In fact, Qin Shihuang may not have doubted Chuifu, but he didn't like to disillusion himself on the premise of immortality. You can also think that he was cheated voluntarily.

I. Introduction to Chuifu

Xu Fu, named Jun Fang, was a famous alchemist in Qin Dynasty. He was also Qin Shihuang's physician. Qin Shihuang placed a good wish on him to live forever, and allocated him a lot of gold and silver many times, which cost countless manpower and material resources to support him in seeking immortality and medicine. That's it? Xu Fudong? This story. It is said that Xu Fu is the apprentice of the famous strategist Guiguzi. He knows medical skills, divination and cultivation of immortals. And the legendary Guiguzi is Jiang Taigong. In other words, Xu Fu is very proficient in Dawson, which laid a solid foundation for his deception.

Second, Qin Shihuang's desire to live forever.

The success of Xu Fu's deception stems from the fear of death of ancient kings. Another important reason is that when Qin Shihuang visited the Bohai Sea, he saw a spectacular mirage. Xu Fu is keenly aware that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He suggests that there are fairy mountains overseas, immortals on the mountains, and immortals have elixirs. ?

Qin Shihuang was very happy and gave him thousands of boys and girls and a lot of gold and silver to seek medical treatment. Qin Shihuang, who is looking through autumn waters, is waiting for Xu Fu who returns empty-handed. The reason is that there are too few gifts and the gods don't like them.

Seeking immortality for the second time, Qin Shihuang increased his support and went to sea again. This time, it is even more exaggerated. After nine years, there was no news of Xu Fupei. Qin Shihuang was furious, and Xu Fu dispelled his anger with a word: There are big fish in the sea, please send more archers. ?

So Chuifu regained his spirit and started the biggest sea voyage. However, Qin Shihuang did not wait for his news until his death.
