Why didn't Qin Shi Huang canonize the empress?I've been waiting for someone, but I haven't waited
Why did Qin Shi Huang not canonize the queen in his life, in fact, he was waiting for someone, but he didn't wait. Qin Shi Huang was the son of Qin Yiren and Zhao Ji, he was born in the distant state of Zhao, but his biological father was far away at that time, so he could only stay in the state of Qin. The young Ying Zheng lived on the streets of Zhao State, and could only understand his distant father from other people's descriptions.
In the past few years in Zhao Guo, Ying Zheng met a simple Zhao girl, and the two fell in love. But the good times didn't last long. Ying Zheng's mother, Zhao Ji, received a summons from the Qin State and had to leave the Zhao State and follow the Yiren to the Qin State to reunite with her father. This means that Ying Zheng has to leave the Zhao girl who once charmed him.
Later, Ying Zheng became the leader of the Qin State and eventually ruled the world. However, he could not find a home for his deep love. As Qin Shi Huang, he was in a high position and had an insurmountable gap with the girl of Zhao State. On the other hand, Zhao became a vassal of Qin, and Zhao Nu was a remnant of Zhao, and the relationship between the two was more complicated.
In this case, although Yingzheng reigns over the world, he cannot reunite with his sweetheart. In order to express his affection, Ying Zheng did not establish a queen in his life. This decision was made not only in honor of the girl, but also in his eternal expectations of her. Even if she can't be by her side, she will always be the queen in his heart. This is Ying Zheng's dedication to love, and it is also his eternal longing and waiting for Zhao Nu.
In Qin Shi Huang's world, that is called"Ah Fang"The woman Zhao is like an eternal star, guiding his heart all the time and everywhere. He built the greatest artifact in the world, the Afang Palace, a magnificent palace that spans more than three hundred miles of land, covering the sky and the sun, just like the emotions in his heart, sublime and untouchable. This mysterious name is the eternal woman in the heart of Qin Shi Huang - Ah Fang.
People often associate the establishment of Afang Palace with the absence of an empress during Qin Shi Huang's lifetime, and this explanation is reasonable. However, Afang Palace does not appear in ancient books. Inexplicably, when Qin Shi Huang recalled his generous act towards his widow, another legend about him arose.
According to the "Historical Records", a woman named Ba Qing was born into a wealthy family, and its mineral resources were as rich as the whole country. Although Ba Qing was an unfortunate widow, her beauty attracted the attention of Qin Shi Huang. Not only did he pay homage to the widow, but he also ordered a high platform to be built for her, called"Mrs. Huaiqing"。This attitude of Qin Shi Huang undoubtedly made him have a special affection for Ba Qing.
These two legends are like a mirror, reflecting the inner world of Qin Shi Huang. He was a great ruler and at the same time a mortal who pursued love. His story is full of the persistent pursuit and expectation of love. Whether it is Ah Fang of Zhao State or Ba Qing of Bashu, the woman he loves deeply has left a deep imprint in his heart and has become an indelible memory in his life.
We can speculate that Qin Shi Huang summoned Ba Qing not just to admire her wealth and chastity, because after the summoning, he couldn't wait to build a high platform for her, which is called"Huaiqing girl"。in the name of the station"Huaiqing"The two characters indicate Qin Shi Huang's longing for Ba Qing.
As the emperor who ruled the world, Qin Shi Huang did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a high platform, just to commemorate a woman who was like a bright star in the sky. This kind of sad behavior, even the ancients like Sima Qian praised Ba Qing"The widow of the poor country has been passed down all over the world"。From this, we can also see Qin Shi Huang's deep affection for Ba Qing.
However, the fact that Ba Qing was a widow hindered the development of her relationship with Qin Shi Huang. How could an emperor who rules the world allow a widow to become his empress?Therefore, some people believe that the reason why Qin Shi Huang did not canonize the empress may be because the person he was waiting for was Ba Qing.
In many history books and legends, the image of Qin Shi Huang has become more and more complex. Some people believe that he is an infatuated person who has always longed for the widow of Ah Fang Zhao or Ba Qing;It is also believed that he was a brilliant politician and that he did not make an empress for political reasons. We know that Qin Shi Huang had great respect for his eldest son, Fusu, and although he and Fusu had political differences, he always regarded Fusu as his rightful heir.
In ancient societies, special attention was paid to the purity and honor of the bloodline. Therefore, the status of the mother often has a direct impact on the status of the son. In this case, the reason why Fusu was favored by Qin Shi Huang and regarded as his legitimate heir is inseparable from the fact that he was the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang. This made him recognized by the Qin people to a certain extent.
However, the early death of Fusu's mother undoubtedly presented Qin Shi Huang with a problem. If Qin Shi Huang canonized other concubines as empresses, Fusu would no longer be Qin Shi Huang's eldest son, but would become a concubine, which would inevitably affect his status. If the new empress had children of her own, the legitimacy of Fusu's accession to the throne would have been questioned. In this case, Qin Shi Huang may have decided not to appoint an empress in order to protect Fusu's position.
On the other hand, the name of Fusu may come from the Zheng folk song "Fusu Mountain", which was very popular at the time. The song has beautiful lyrics and depicts a pair of lovers falling in love sweetly. Therefore, it is believed that Qin Shi Huang named his eldest son Fusu to commemorate the good times when Fusu was with his mother.
Therefore, it can be speculated that Qin Shi Huang's love and protection for Fusu may be a continuation of Fusu's feelings for his mother. Qin Shi Huang's refusal to be crowned empress may have been motivated not only by political reasons, but also by deep longing for his deceased beloved. He chose to express his grief and longing for his deceased wife in this way, which shows his deep affection for his deceased wife.
