History Repeats: Calling Deer Horse 指鹿为马
[Note: Zhao Gao (258-207BC) was the highest official under the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty.]
Aspiring to gain complete control of power, and anxious that others might not obey him, Zhao Gao set up a test. He led a deer to the emperor and said, “This is a horse.” The emperor laughed. “Are you mistaken? Calling a deer a horse?” When the emperor asked the other officials in the court, some remained silent, some followed Zhao to say the deer was a horse, and some said it was a deer. Zhao then back-stabbed those who said the deer was a deer, causing them to be punished under the law. From that day forward everyone feared Zhao [and repeated his alternative fact].
Original text: 赵高欲为乱,恐群臣不听,乃先设验. 持鹿献于二世,曰:“马也。”二世笑曰:“丞相误邪?谓鹿为马。”问左右,左右或默,或言马以阿顺赵高,或言鹿者。高因阴中诸言鹿者以法。后群臣皆畏高。(司马迁《史记·秦始皇本纪》)
