"Before Ying Zheng came to power, various forces in the Qin State were in turmoil. There were the Lao Ai faction, the Lu Buwei faction, the clan forces, the foreign guest forces, and the Qin King Ying Zheng's side."

"Later, Lao Ai attacked Qinian Palace, Ying Zheng destroyed the Lao Ai sect, and then used the Lao Ai incident to destroy the Lu Buwei sect."

"After the two groups were destroyed, Yingzheng felt much more relaxed."

"But above the court, there are also clan forces and foreign forces that cannot be tolerated. If you want these two forces to obey you absolutely, Ying Zheng needs the example of his mother Zhao Ji to establish his majesty."

"There are many ways to establish majesty, and Yingzheng adopted the most extreme one. I think Yingzheng's mind has begun to have problems. Is this because of the reasons he experienced? Moreover, what he did later was indeed a bit Abnormal."

"His thoughts and governance seem to be on the cruel side."

"After Ying Zheng imprisoned his mother Zhao Ji, many ministers of the Qin State interceded on behalf of Zhao Ji. This was out of good intentions and it was only good for Ying Zheng and had no harm."

"But Ying Zheng's approach was very extreme. He killed the ministers who advised him one by one, killing 27 people in one go. It is said that he also hung the corpses on the city gate."

"How terrifying! What kind of behavior is this? Isn't this treating human life as nothing?"

"Everyone knows the story of Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin. Fan Yuqi is a familiar figure. This man heard that Jing Ke was going to assassinate the King of Qin. He would rather commit suicide and let Jing Ke cut off his own head to meet Ying Zheng to increase the chance of a successful assassination. Chance."

"What grudge does Fan Yuqi have against Ying Zheng?"

"Because Fan Yuqi was a Qin general with considerable military exploits, and was later defeated by Zhao general Li Mu. Fan Yuqi did not dare to return to the Qin State for business and ran to the Yan State to avoid the chaos."

"Ying Zheng killed Fan Yuqi's whole family because Fan Yuqi escaped, which caused Fan Yuqi to hate Ying Zheng deeply."

"Although it is shameful to be a deserter, there is no evidence to control his family. Why kill them all? But being a deserter is also quite shameless."

"Although the Qin State has always had a tradition of harsh punishments since Shang Yang's reform, King Qin Yingzheng took this tradition to the extreme after he came to power."

"Later, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and implemented a series of policies, most of which were relatively harsh, such as the implementation of corporal punishment of mutilation of limbs, and later the burning of books, the construction of the Great Wall, and the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin... In the end, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were forced to He rose up and overthrew the Qin Dynasty."

Qin Shihuang: I love this mother who stayed with me during my childhood, but I blame her for her subsequent "betrayal".

I have to say that there were indeed political reasons at the time, but using Zhao Ji as an excuse to get rid of the two major threats, Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and then expel them from Xianyang City was a kind of grudge against her. I can't face it. Such a mother.

"Although Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, because he was very young and had no real power, the court power was always controlled by Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji, and his lover Lao Ai."

"Ying Zheng has long hated them. After solving the major obstacle to Lao Ai's true governance, Lu Buwei will be next."

"Ying Zheng sent someone to send a letter of questioning to Lu Buwei. The letter strongly condemned Lu Buwei's many crimes. Later, Lu Buwei understood that Ying Zheng was going to attack him and chose to commit suicide. From then on, Ying Zheng realized the true rule of the emperor and firmly grasped the power of the emperor. The greatest political power has begun his grand plan!"

"He was a tyrant in the hearts of the ancients, but in the eyes of our later generations, he was the only emperor of the ages. If Qin Shihuang had not unified the six kingdoms, maybe the current country would be composed of many small countries like foreigners."

"Qin Shihuang's influence on the history of later generations was too far-reaching. However, everyone also knows that he was an extremely cruel and heinous tyrant. The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom."

"In 238 BC, Qin Shihuang was 22 years old. This year was the time when Qin Shi Huang held an adult ceremony. Qin Shi Huang's adult crowning ceremony was held in the old capital Yongcheng. This adult ceremony was not only an adult ceremony, but also announced the marriage of Qin Shi Huang. It’s time for government.”

"He began to take charge of state affairs. The first thing he did was to remove Lu Buwei from the post of prime minister and regain his real power. At the same time, he promoted a group of capable officers, including civil servants and military generals."  "Qin Shihuang started the mode of fighting monsters as soon as he took office."

"Pinch the soft persimmon first, crush the soft persimmon South Korea first, and then take care of Zhao."

"When attacking Wei, Qin did not respect martial ethics. After surrounding Daliang, the capital of Wei, it diverted water from the Yellow River to flood the city. The water flooded Daliang City, and Wei surrendered."

"The later Yingzheng faction Meng Tian and Wang Jian destroyed Chu, their superficial friend. The following year, they destroyed Yan to avenge Jing Ke's assassination of Qin. In the end, they captured the isolated and trembling Qi State in one fell swoop."

"At this point, Qin's mission of destroying the six kingdoms has been completed."

"From 230 to 221 BC, Qin Shihuang destroyed six kingdoms and established a unified country. At the age of 39, Qin Shihuang officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, becoming the first emperor in history and establishing the Qin Dynasty."

"The Qin Dynasty was a multi-ethnic, authoritarian and centralized country. Not only that, it also created the title of "Emperor" and the throne was hereditary. It abolished the feudal system and established a system of counties and counties. It also established a complete set of bureaucracies to control The structure of the entire society, including politics, military, society and other aspects has penetrated into it, and he himself is also known as "one emperor through the ages."

"At that time, Ying Zheng was alone in seeking defeat. He was the best in the world. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not satisfied with him, so he proclaimed himself emperor and the Qin Dynasty was established!"

"Qin Shihuang hoped that his successor would live forever, but the reality is that Qin II died."

"Although the Qin Dynasty was short-lived and Ying Zheng only served as emperor for eleven years, Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, really did a lot of great things and made immortal achievements!"

"There are three things a new official should do when he takes office. The first thing is to establish the three ministers, nine ministers and the system of counties and counties."

"The central government is composed of a working group composed of three ministers and nine ministers, and the local governments implement the system of counties and counties."

"These two things existed in the previous dynasty, but at that time they were all done privately by the vassal states, and Qin Shihuang gave them status."

“The three-gong-nine-qing system and the system of prefectures and counties helped Qin Shihuang achieve the unification of the political system. They have been imitated by later generations and, of course, have also been surpassed.”

"Sangong and Jiuqing, just take it literally."

"There are three adults under the emperor."

"The prime minister, the Taiwei, the prime minister, and the imperial censor are in charge of military affairs, administration, and discipline inspection."

"Below the Three Lords, there are Jiuqing, the heads of nine administrative departments, who are in charge of specific affairs such as justice, taxation, and diplomacy."

"When the emperor flicked his sleeves and said that all the ministers were equal, he must be talking about these ministers."

"In the past, the country implemented a feudal system. The emperor seemed to own the whole world, but in fact all the land was divided among the princes."

"The princes also distributed the land to the ministers. The fiefdom can be inherited. When I die, it belongs to my son. When my son dies, it belongs to my grandson. They will be passed down from generation to generation."

"This can easily backfire on the emperor, and the princes will be sidelined and have no real power."
