Hebei is a terrible place. Ever since the First Empress of Qin, why have all the emperors had to take a detour and dare not say anything?
There is a place in Hebei known as the "Land of the Trapped Dragon". Since the death of Qin Shihuang, all the emperors have not dared to pass by this place and have taken a detour. Why is this? Listen to me carefully. Before Qin Shihuang, two emperors had passed away here, yes, the infamous King Zhou of Shang and King Zhao Wuling of Dai Ming Dynasty Zhao Yong. During the Shang Dynasty, a palace villa had been built here in Hebei. During the reign of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, he even used manpower and material resources to expand the construction for his own enjoyment, regardless of the needs of the people.
King Zhou of Shang likes to dine in the wine pond and meat forest in the palace here in Hebei, and ignores political affairs. Eventually his comeuppance came, and he was forced to set himself on fire at Ludai here. The death of Zhao Yong, the Mingjun of Zhao Wuling, is even more controversial. He was famous all his life, but he suddenly made a big mistake in establishing the crown prince. He ignored the conventions of the past and actually made his youngest son Zhao Yong emperor. Of course, his eldest son Zhao Zhang did not. Satisfied with this decision, he attacked his father Zhao Yong. In the end, Zhao Yong was besieged by his own son in Hebei for three months and starved to death here.
But it was the death of Qin Shihuang that finally made emperors of all dynasties reluctant to go to Hebei. After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he felt that his career was successful and began to look for a way to live forever. He wanted to be emperor forever, otherwise he would not have named himself emperor. But he was not so lucky. In the process of searching, he not only failed to find a method, but also caused a disease that could not be treated by the medical technology at the time. In the end, he could only suffer from the disease and died in the sand dunes of Hebei.
Emperors of successive dynasties believed that the feng shui here was not good and that there was an evil atmosphere. Even if they had the aura of an emperor, they would be attracted to this place and could not leave unless they died. This kind of rumor spread from second to fourth. Emperors of all dynasties preferred Feng Shui and did not want to risk their own lives, so they finally chose to take a detour.
