Shi Le was proclaimed Empress Zhao, and his confidant Zhang Bin had died. Shi Le deeply regretted it at that time, and cried and sighed: "God does not want me to achieve great things, how can I take away my right marquis so early!" Later, when he discussed matters with the counselors Xu Guang, Cheng Xiao, and others, he often felt that the level of these people was too low, which made him sigh from time to time: "Right Hou (Zhang Bin) gave me up to let me work with this generation, isn't it cool!" ”
In the later period of Shi Le, the issue of heirs was also a very contradictory matter for him. His crown prince Shi Hong, who was filial to himself at an early age, was respectful and self-respecting, and had followed the Han Confucian classics since childhood, and was polite in writing.

Remembering that his prince Pingsu was close to the scribes, Shi Le was very worried and said to Xu Guang: "The prince is weak, and he is not like a general's son." ”
Xu Guang replied: "Emperor Han Gaozu will take the world at once, Emperor Xiaowen will keep it with Xuan Silent, and after the saints, there will be victories and cruelties to those who kill, and the way of heaven will also be." ”
Shi Le was overjoyed and felt that it made a lot of sense.
Xu Guangyin said: "Crown Prince Ren Xiaowen Gong, the King of Zhongshan (Shi Hu) is violent and deceitful, once His Majesty does not hide (death), the subject is afraid that the society will be in danger, and should gradually seize the authority of the King of Zhongshan, so that the prince can participate in the government of the dynasty as soon as possible." ”
Shi Le nodded.

The right servant Xu Hui was the uncle of Crown Prince Shi Hong, who was more worried about the safety of the country, and also told Shi Le: "Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, is brave and powerful, and his subjects are beyond the reach of his subjects, but his nature is cruel, arrogant and lawless, and his sons are in charge of military power." His Majesty is here, and he should have done nothing, and he should have eliminated it as soon as possible, so as to make a grand plan for the peace of the world. ”
Shi Le did not listen: "Today, the prince is young and is about to rely on the assistance of the King of Zhongshan." ”
Xu Guang and Cheng Xiao were worried day and night, and summed up: "Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, deeply hates the two of us, once the lord is on the road, the crown prince will be poisoned by him, and the two of us will not be able to escape the cruelty, for the sake of an Guoning family, we must desperately advise the emperor to get rid of the king of Zhongshan." ”
Therefore, taking advantage of another opportunity to enter the meeting, Xu Guang asked Shi Le: "Your Majesty Tuoping Eight Prefectures, the emperor has the sea, but there is still displeasure and worry between the looks, why?" ”
Shi Le replied, "Wu Shu is not even, the books are not the same, Sima Shi still has Jiangdong, I am afraid that future generations will ridicule me for not being the emperor who unifies the world, so I am worried." ”
Xu Guangjin said, "The minister still thinks that His Majesty is worried about the trouble in his heart, who knows that you are worried about the small trouble of the limbs!" Your Majesty has fixed the Central Plains, occupied the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an, and is the emperor of China, and the destiny of heaven is returned, who can disobey? Sima Shi's remnants, Jiangdong's troubles, the small diseases of the limbs; Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, with your divine might, attacked four grams, saying that the heroism was only under you, this man was cruel and adulterous, saw profit and forgotten righteousness, and often had the color of inadequacy. Recently, the banquet, there are many contempt for the crown prince, His Majesty is tolerant, the subject is afraid that after Ten Thousand Years of His Majesty, the Temple will have thorns, this person is your heart is a big problem, should be removed as soon as possible! ”
Schlemer. Haojie is old, it should be broken continuously, the hero is a lifetime, the confusion is sudden, the children and grandchildren are all eaten by people.
In August of the seventh year (333 AD) of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Shi Le was seriously ill and did not wait for the edict, and Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, led his troops into the palace to "serve the disease".

Shi Hu corrected the edict, and the relatives of the group were not allowed to enter. Shi Le's illness is unknown to outsiders.
Shi Hu was afraid that after Shi Le's death, the clan with heavy troops outside the country would rebel, so he ordered Shi Hong, the king of Qin, and Shi Kan, the king of Pengcheng, to return to Xiangguo to serve in the palace.
When the light was reflected, Shi Le saw Shi Hong crying at the bedside and exclaimed, "I asked you to raise troops to have a strong domain outside, just in case something happened after I fell ill and died." Who called you to Beijing, or did you come to visit me yourself? If someone calls you, send someone to kill him right away! ”
Shi Hu was terrified and said, "The King of Qin has come to visit the sick, and for the time being he will stay in Beijing, and I will immediately send him back to the fiefdom." ”
Having said that, Shi Hu still sent people to put Shi Hong and others under house arrest in the capital.
A few days later, the unconscious Shi Le woke up again and asked Shi Hu, "Has Shi Hong returned to his fiefdom?" ”
Shi Hu replied, "I went back at that time, but now it's probably almost here." ”
On his deathbed, Shi Le's will and testament: "Buried in three days, dressed in timely clothes, carried in a regular car, no hidden treasures, no utensils to play." Daya (Crown Prince Shi Hong) chong young, I am afraid that I can not construct He Yuanzhi. Daya and his brother Yishan maintained each other, Sima Shi was Ru and other Yin Jian, and Shi Hu, the king of Zhongshan, could think twice about the merits of Zhou Gong's assistance and not excuse himself for the future. ”
Shi Le reigned for fifteen years and died at the age of sixty. Its coffin night fistula valley, no one knows the real burial place, false burial of Gaoping Mausoleum.
A generation of tyrants, with sorrow and death.
Shi Le started with eighteen horses. When the Later Zhao Kingdom was victorious, "the south exceeded the Huaihai Sea, the east coast was in the sea, the west was in Hexi, and the north was to the Yan Dynasty", which shows that Shi Le can be said to be a very courageous emperor during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Although Shi Le was illiterate and did not read history, he still liked to read history books, took history as a lesson, imitated the Western Han Dynasty officials, personally patrolled around, persuaded the people to live in sang, and reduced the burden of the people under his jurisdiction, it can be said that the taxes collected by Later Zhao were the lightest since Cao Wei.
At the same time, Shi Le also paid attention to the cultivation of talents and the establishment of an education system, and pioneered the system of show examinations, recommending talents and recommending talents, and opening up a good learning style. Although he was a Xionghu, Shi Le did not despise the Han people, and his important advisers and ministers were all responsible for the Han people.
In addition, Shi Le can also adhere to traditional moral standards, never tolerate the traitors and rebels, and show the naïve and simple side of his nature.
In short, this emperor who was enthroned by a slave was a generation of masters in the chaotic world of the Sixteen Kingdoms.
