Ziying, the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty, cannot save the decline of the Qin Dynasty in 46 days, and Zhao Gao is also unable to return to heaven.

The son of

is the third emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty. The emperor Gongziying should be a little bit aggrieved because Qin Dynasty perished in his hands.

When Liu Bang led the army into Xianyang City, Gongziying neither resisted nor cried. He quietly took his wife and children, dressed in plain white clothes, and presented the Chuanguo Yuxi to Liu Bang. The transfer of Chuanguo Yuxi meant that the Qin Dynasty was completely destroyed.

However, the demise of the Qin Dynasty has nothing to do with Gongziying. After all, he has only been emperor for 46 days, and the decline of the Qin Dynasty has already appeared when Yingzheng was in power. After Hu Hai accepted the throne, it exacerbated the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

son and infant

son and infant only took 46 days, and it is hard to save the decline of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, he could only choose to surrender to save his life, and he could only watch Qin Chao perish in his own hands.

The first puppet emperor

Yingzheng was the first to say that he was the emperor, so the son-in-law may be the first puppet emperor in history. Then someone might ask, isn't Hu Hai also a puppet emperor?

When Hu Hai was in power, the eunuch Zhao Gao controlled the court and everything in the court was in the hands of Zhao Gao. Wasn't Hu Hai also a puppet emperor? But what is different from Ziying is that Hu Hai willingly surrendered Jiangshan to Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai

Hu Hai only wants to enjoy it when he becomes the emperor, and he doesn't want to care about national politics. Zhao Gao also spotted Hu Hai's point and began to seize power. Zhao Gao didn't even use any means, saying some nice words could make Hu Hai happy.

Hu Hai, the emperor, really has nothing to sympathize with. In the end he also died in the hands of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao killed Hu Hai because he wanted to be the emperor himself, but the eunuch being the emperor is nothing short of a dream.

Everyone in the dynasty opposed Zhao Gao to be the emperor, and Zhao Gao realized that he had done so many bad things, and his popularity in the dynasty was extremely bad. No way, he could only find Ziying from the royal family and set him up as emperor.

Zhao Gao

How did Zhao Gao make Ziying the emperor? He made an excuse not to let Ziying be called the emperor, but made him a "King of Qin", and ordered Ziying to fast for five days by himself before he could accept the Jade Seal.

So Gongziying is a veritable puppet emperor. Fortunately, Ziying is also an ambitious puppet emperor, and he has not been idle for five days during his fast.

Ziying teamed up with Han Tan, the eunuch next to him, and his sons to discuss a plan to kill Zhao Gao. After the five-day fast, Zhao Gao came to welcome Ziying himself. Han Tan saw the time to kill Zhao Gao.

Qin Dynasty’s malignant tumor Zhao Gao finally died. However, the ending of the Qin Dynasty will not change because of Zhao Gao's death. Gongziying looked at the mess in front of him, and could do nothing.

In the late Qin dynasty

, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The people complained about the rule of the Qin dynasty. The rule of the Qin dynasty has already made the people lose their confidence, so the demise of the Qin dynasty will be sooner or later.

When Ying Zheng was alive, he built the Great Wall and the Afang Palace; Hu Hai continued to build the Afang Palace. The construction of these buildings requires a lot of money and manpower, which need to be borne by the people. The people are like living in hell.

Yingzheng adopts a violent rule. Once there is a voice of resistance, killing is used to cleanse everything; Hu Hai's violence is even worse than Yingzheng. In addition to Hu Hai, there are Zhao Gao and others. The violence of these people is becoming louder and louder for civil resistance.

When Ziying took over the throne, there were already many insurgents among the people. If Ziying continues to govern, he can only use force to suppress it.

However, General Meng Tian and General Meng Yi, who were most able to fight in the Qin Dynasty, were killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gaozhu; the people's hearts were lost, and no ministers and soldiers were willing to serve for the Qin Dynasty. No one under Ziying is available.

Zhao Gao is dead, but Ziying has no generals and counsellors, and he has no time to deal with the insurgents. Until Liu Bang's army hit the city of Xianyang, Ziying could only submit the jade seal of the country obediently, and the Qin Dynasty perished ever since.

Ziying’s life experience

About the last emperor of the Qin Dynasty, there is another thing that everyone is more interested in is Ziying’s life experience.

z0After becoming emperor, Hu Hai killed several sons of Qin Shihuang in order to eliminate the threat of the throne. The more famous people such as Fusu, Gongzigao, and Jianglu were also brutally killed by Hu Hai. So how did Ziying escape Hu Hai's clutches?

Hu Hai is Ying Zheng's eighteenth son. Before him, there are many more virtuous and capable older brothers. After Ying Zheng passed away, Hu Hai could not be the emperor no matter how round. Therefore, Hu Hai brutally killed his brothers in order to become emperor.

Gongziying and Fusu are different. Although his surname is "Win", obviously his identity poses no threat to Hu Hai. In other words, Ziying is not Yingzheng's son.

There is a sentence in the "Benji of Qin Shihuang" in "Historical Records": "The second generation's elder brother, son Ying, is the king of Qin". Ziying is the son of brother Hu Hai, which brother is not recorded in official history.

Therefore, Ziying was not killed by Hu Hai. Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang kept Ziying's life. It's just that he avoided Hu Hai, Liu Bang but not Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu later invaded Xianyang and killed Ziying. It's a pity that Ziying's emperor was not at the right time. Ziying has his own opinion and is more clear-headed than Hu Hai. If it were not for troubled times, he might be a good emperor.
