But Qin Shi Huang is an exception. He has never been canonized as a queen in his life. Why? In fact, he has been waiting for someone, but throughout his life, he has never waited...

China has experienced thousands of years of development, and princes and generals have emerged in endlessly.

There are those who are militaristic, and there are those who seek orders for the people; there are those who are cruel and violent, and there are those who are diligent in government affairs; there are those who are lustful, and there are also those who work hard to govern...

Today, we also want to talk about an emperor, who can say It is a stroke that cannot be erased in Chinese history. He is----Qin Shihuang.

We all know that every emperor has a harem of female dependents, among whom the one with the highest status is called the "Queen".

But Qin Shihuang was an exception. He never named a queen in his life. Why? In fact, he has been waiting for someone, but throughout his life, he has not waited...

Qin Shihuang the person

First of all, let's get to know this Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang, named Yingzheng, was born in Zhao Kingdom . He later returned to Qin Kingdom and inherited the throne at the age of thirteen.

At that time, China's heroes were divided, and the seven kingdoms stood side by side. After Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne, he attached great importance to military development. He recruited troops, reused talents, and successively annexed the other six countries. established the first true unification in Chinese history. dynasty .

After completing the great cause of unification, Qin Shihuang believed that he had "the virtues of the three emperors and more merits than the five emperors", so he took two words from "三皇五帝" and called himself "emperor". He was the first monarch in history to call himself "emperor". Later generations also called him "the first emperor ".

Qin Shihuang can be said to be "one emperor through the ages" in terms of his merits.

In addition to unifying the six countries, he also successively unified the currency, writing and weights and measures of various countries at that time, laying a good foundation for civil exchanges, cultural development and economic progress.

During the reign of Qin Shihuang, he also built the famous Great Wall .

According to legend, Qin Shihuang was very nervous when he heard the sorcerer's words, "Hu is the one who will destroy Qin".

He thought "Hu" refers to the Hu people in the north.

As a result, he greatly improved the defense index against the northern minorities and ordered people to build the Great Wall for defense.

Unfortunately, God's calculations are not as good as those of humans.

What really led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty was not the Hu people in the north, but Qin Shihuang's own son Hu Hai. This "Hu" is not the other "Hu".

The Great Wall is known as "Ten Thousand Miles", which shows that the construction at that time was difficult, time-consuming, and consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.

In order to complete the project as soon as possible, officials at all levels arrested young men everywhere, regardless of the lives of the people, which indirectly led to the boiling of public resentment and laid hidden dangers for the subsequent demise of Qin. At the same time, the poignant legend of "Meng Jiangnu Weeping at the Great Wall" was born.

Meng Jiangnu was happily married to her husband, but officers and soldiers captured her husband on their wedding night. Meng Jiangnu traveled thousands of miles to find her husband to send him cold clothes, but she learned of her husband's death. She was filled with grief and indignation and cried bitterly. God also shed tears for her. , a sudden heavy rain poured down the Great Wall, exposing the bones of Meng Jiangnu's husband.

"Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" was later called the four major Chinese folk stories together with "The Butterfly Lovers", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" and "The Legend of the White Snake", which have been passed down to this day.

From this we can see that although Qin Shihuang made great achievements, he had many shortcomings during his reign.

He used unscrupulous means to achieve his goals and treated the people with excessive taxes and levies, which caused the common people to suffer miserably. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Qin Dynasty fell after only two generations.

Qin Shihuang's "childhood sweetheart"

Qin Shihuang, as a generation of monarchs, has both merits and demerits and reputation. At the same time, he is also an ordinary person with human emotions and desires .

As we mentioned before, Qin Shihuang was born in the State of Zhao. Although he later returned to the State of Qin and inherited the throne, his life in the State of Zhao was not easy.

When he was in the State of Zhao, his father was the hostage of the State of Qin, that is, the "hostage" left by the State of Qin in the State of Zhao. He also received a lot of ostracism and cold looks because of this identity.

Many people looked down on him, and his playmates of the same age always teased and made fun of him.

It can be said that Qin Shihuang was lonely when he was a child. He always sat in the corner alone and was unhappy.

At this moment, a kind girl approached him.

She never treated him coldly because of his status, but treated him as a good friend.

She will help him wipe his wounds when he is injured, and talk to him when he is sad.

The appearance of this girl gradually healed Qin Shihuang's young and injured heart, making him feel incomparable warmth and love. Qin Shihuang also left an exclusive place for this girl in his heart forever.

days do not follow people's wishes. Qin Shihuang's ignorant feelings withered before they blossomed.

He left the State of Zhao and returned to the State of Qin. After that, he gradually became involved in the battles of the troubled times, and there was no news about the girl.

No one knows the girl's name.

After Qin Shihuang became emperor, he faced ice, snow and swords all day long, and was bloody and bloody. He would never mention such past events to others.

Later, someone said that the girl's name was "Afang". In order to commemorate his "childhood sweetheart", Qin Shihuang ordered people to build a palace named after her-Afang Palace.

Of course, this is all people's word of mouth. I am afraid that only Qin Shihuang himself in another world will know the truth.

Never established a queen in his life

After Qin Shihuang became emperor, there were countless beauties in the palace, but he never established a queen in his life.

Some people say that the reason why he did not become a queen is because no one can replace the "White Moonlight" in his childhood heart. That position can only be reserved for her alone. Since people cannot meet each other, then the queen position will always be reserved for her. , to comfort him in missing her.

In fact, there may be many real reasons why Qin Shihuang never established a queen. The story of "A Fang Nu " is just a legend.

First of all, one of the important reasons why Qin Shihuang did not establish a queen may come from his mother.

According to legend, Qin Shihuang's real father was the famous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty Lu Buwei . Lu Buwei "blessed" Qin Shihuang's mother when he was in Zhao State, and he became Qin Shihuang, but no one pierced this layer of window paper.

Qin Shihuang had naturally heard these rumors, so he had always been alienated from his mother.

And in the later period, Qin Shihuang forced Lu Buwei to hand over power, but Lu Buwei did not resist, but chose to kill himself, which further proved that Lu Buwei was Qin Shihuang's biological father, and he gave up his great country for his son.

Otherwise, with the power Lu Buwei had at that time, he would definitely rebel and overthrow the rule of Qin Shihuang. Only his own son could make him willingly give up the throne and die.

Let’s talk about Qin Shihuang’s mother. After her son was firmly established in the throne, she did not remain content and be a queen mother, but completely let herself go. She hung out with the fake eunuch Lao Ai all day long, and actually gave birth to Qin Shihuang again. He has two "brothers".

Qin Shihuang's fury can be imagined. He executed Lao Ai by splitting his chariot, imprisoned his mother, and threw his two younger brothers to death.

These actions of his mother had a huge impact on Qin Shihuang's psychology and reduced his trust in women to a certain level.

He was afraid that his queen would be like his mother and would have a negative impact on the court. He was worried that his relatives would be too powerful and would shake his rule.

Therefore, he only regarded the women in the palace as "playthings and tools" and did not consider who should be the master of the harem.

Secondly, Qin Shihuang's pursuit of longevity may also be an important reason why he chose not to establish a queen.

After Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he developed an almost morbid interpretation of life, old age, illness and death.

He believed that he was the chosen one, and he should shine with the sun and the moon, and live with the heaven and the earth.

Therefore, he began his long road to seek eternal life.

He summoned the whole world to seek the way to immortality, and sent people to travel thousands of miles away to find the way to live forever. If there was any trouble, he would go on a killing spree.

In this case, he also has to take care of the governance of the country, and the energy he can spend on the women in the palace is very limited.

More importantly, not only did he not establish a queen, he did not even choose a prince in advance. This was also because he firmly believed that he could "Long Live Long Live" and was not in a hurry to establish a queen or a prince. He did not want anyone to come in his prime. The right to differentiate oneself.

In addition, there are rumors that another reason why Qin Shihuang did not establish a queen is related to a woman.

Although she was not Qin Shihuang's favorite, she was of great help to Qin Shihuang in governing the country.

This woman was called "Qing" and she was a widow in Badi at that time.

After Qing's husband passed away, Qing kept a chaste life and never remarried. This impressed Qin Shihuang, who was quite critical of his mother, and he even ordered a special order to praise Qing's chastity.

More importantly, the Qing family had a huge fortune and was one of the important economic pillars of the Qin State at that time. It is said that the mercury used in the construction of the tomb of Qin Shihuang was supplied by the Qing family.

It can be said that Qing is a typical "exit the hall and enter the kitchen".

Qin Shihuang did not marry a "Qing" into the palace due to secular reasons , but he has been secretly supporting the Qing family.

Later, after the Qing Dynasty passed away, all the family property was donated to the country for free. This also moved Qin Shihuang greatly. He felt that the queen should be the perfect woman in the world so that she could match him. But after the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing again. Now that she is a woman, naturally no one can bear the title of queen.

"Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to overcome, except for Wushan, it was not a cloud." The startling glances passing by are often unforgettable for a lifetime.

is written at the end

As a milestone emperor in Chinese history, Qin Shihuang’s achievements cannot be said to be insignificant, but his faults are also obvious.

He made great contributions to the unification and integration of the Chinese nation. However, during the reign of him and his successors, "tyranny was fiercer than the tiger" and people were devastated. In the end, many heroes rose up and overthrew his short-term hegemony. It's really sad.

Qin Shihuang never established a queen in his life. From this perspective, he was indeed an emperor who had "no successor".

The controversy about the First Emperor has never stopped. No matter what the reasons were for his unwillingness to stand as queen, we will use an objective perspective to interpret this emperor. The world-famous Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall will continue his story , spread...
