Qin Shihuang is the only emperor in history. His achievements are unprecedented and unprecedented. He has many titles. He is a famous statesman, military strategist and reformer in history. He established the first central government. The centralized country took its own title from the three emperors and five emperors. He was also the first person in ancient and modern times to call himself an emperor.
Qin Shihuang, surnamed Ying, named Zheng. Because he was born in the State of Zhao, he was also called Zhao Zheng. Some people said that he was the son of Lu Buwei, so he was called Lu Zheng, the son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (some said he was the son of Lu Buwei). Born in 259 BC, more than ten years later, in 246 BC, Ying Zheng, who was only 13 years old, succeeded to the throne of Qin. However, due to his young age, he was unable to control the government, so he had to leave it to Prime Minister Lu Buwei and the male favorite of the Empress Dowager Xuan.
In 238 BC, Qin Shihuang began to rule personally. He could not bear to have Lu Buweihe under his hands and developed his power more and more. For Yingzheng, Lu Buweihe had threatened his rule. , and even gradually beyond one's control. In particular, the two of them used their power to bully others. They took advantage of Qin Shihuang's absence and raised troops to rebel. Qin Shihuang crushed the rebellion in one fell swoop, killed their two children with Zhao Ji, executed them, and imprisoned the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
The next year, he began to solve the obstacle of Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei always relied on the power of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng and did not take others seriously. Qin Shihuang called him Zhongfu, which made him arrogant. After Qin Shihuang realized that Lu Buwei had to be eliminated, he quickly dismissed Lu Buwei from his post as prime minister. Later, he personally wrote a letter to Lu Buwei, threatening that he was not his son and asking him not to put himself too high. Lu Buwei was extremely ashamed after reading the letter. Knowing that he could not escape the situation of being killed, it was best for Lu Buwei to commit suicide. After Qin Shihuang forced Lu Buwei to death, he appointed a new group of people. He appointed Wei Liao, Li Si and others.
talents to manage the country, especially taking the suggestions of Li Si and others. He implemented the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers and hired a large number of outstanding talents to manage national affairs. His main achievements include unifying the entire China for the first time, taking Baiyue from the south, and attacking the Xiongnu from the north, clearing the way for national unification.
Later, the feudal system was abolished and replaced by a system of counties and counties. Books and vehicles shared the same track. We unified weights and measures, built the Great Wall, opened up the southwest, and built a model of a country. He has many excellent generals under his command and a complete military, production, economic and trade system. His work of unifying China has such a long-term vision and is completed with such sophisticated skills. It is really admirable. .
Qin Shihuang was a great reformer, and the historical achievements he established were of pioneering significance. Qin Dynasty established more than 2,200 years ago under the social conditions of underdeveloped productivity at that time. The Qin Empire was a very powerful country. The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Afang Palace, Qin Zhidao, and Lingqu were all his achievements during his reign. From this, we can see Qin's strong financial, military and political power.
However, he was an undeniable tyrant. He laid down millions of corpses and shed blood for thousands of miles. Qin Shihuang’s process of unifying the six kingdoms was cruel, and the establishment of a new country must involve bloodshed and sacrifice. He brutally imposed laws on the people, making them speechless. He also recruited 700,000 civilians to build palaces and the Great Wall. Burning books and trapping Confucians, a large number of ancient books were burned, and some pedantic Confucian scholars were also killed in this incident. Moreover, the First Emperor in historical records said that he was vain and sometimes behaved erratically.
Once on a trip, he was not allowed to cross the Xiang River due to strong winds. This man had a bad temper, so he blamed the goddess Xiangjun. Let the prisoners go up the mountain to cut down trees to take revenge on the king of Xiang. He also once cut down all the bamboo on the mountain and painted the bare tree stumps with red paint. These behaviors were weird and showed that Qin Shihuang was a very complex person.
No matter how absurd, bizarre, and bizarre, this man named Ying Zheng opened up a whole new world. With the efforts of the Qin State for nearly half a year, by the time of Qin Shihuang, it was the harvest of the Qin State. At that time, Qin Shihuang was the last reaper. Qin Shihuang did things that countless people in that era could not imagine and could not do. He was a dreamer and a practitioner.
