Later, during the Qin Xiaogong period, Shang Yang was appointed to carry out major reforms, and Qin gradually became a powerful country in the Warring States Period. After King Qin Huiwen succeeded to the throne, he once again strengthened the strength of Qin and annexed Pakistan and Shu. It was the joint efforts of the successive monarchs of the Qin Kingdom that laid the foundation for Qin Shihuang's destruction of the six kingdoms, enabling Qin Shihuang to sweep the six kingdoms in just ten years and establish a unified Great Qin Empire.

2. Massacre of courtiers

The first to be killed were the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi. These two were originally the pillars of the country, one capable of martial arts and the other capable of writing. They were all highly used talents during the Qin Shihuang period, but Hu Hai, under Zhao Gao's control, killed them all. In addition, it was not enough. Even the important officials of the court, Feng Quji, Feng Jie, Li Si, and others were killed successively. And you must know that Qin Shihuang relied on these civil and military backbones to conquer the six countries and achieve unity. But when they came to Hu Hai's hands, they not only cleared them out of the core political institutions, but also killed them all.

Third, aggravate taxation and harsh governance

Hu Hai, who can only covet his own pleasure, naturally does not care about the life and death of the people. Therefore, after he succeeded, not only did he not make the people easy, but he also increased the burden. In addition to continuing to increase the number of civil servants to build the Afang Palace and Lishan Tomb, he also continued to increase taxes, and at the same time, the levied labor must also work for free all year round. How can such an inhumane move not lead to an official push against the people? Therefore, various localities soon revolted against the Tyranny. And Hu Hai, who was so fooled by Zhao Gao that he only liked to listen to good things, when someone told him that there were uprisings everywhere and hoped to send soldiers to quell him, he didn't believe it at all and even punished him. As a result, no one in the court dared to tell the truth. Even if the world rebelled everywhere, they only dared to lightly say that it was a small group of "thief" who caused the chaos. Just imagine, how long can this dynasty last when an emperor has reached such a field?

After the efforts of such a generation of monarchs, the empire that Qin had finally established was finally defeated by Hu Hai. How can he face to meet his ancestors? However, at his level of faintness, defeating a Qin Empire in three years, to be honest, this speed is already considered to be a high incense!
