Qin Shi Huang and one others failed to canonize the queen
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China, the social order was turbulent, and weak countries had to rely on powerful forces in order to survive. In this era of strife, the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons and the Warring States Seven Heroes appeared, but the least noticeable of them were the Qin State in the west.
However, with its perseverance and resourcefulness, the Qin State finally succeeded in unifying the six kingdoms and establishing the first unified empire in Chinese history. Qin Shi Huang believed that his merits even surpassed those of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, so he proclaimed himself "Emperor".
However, Qin Shi Huang did not canonize the empress in his life, because he had been waiting for someone, and it was a pity that that person never appeared.
In 259 BC, Ying Zheng met Zhao for the first time. However, his fate did not go his way. Because of his father, Zhao decided to attack Qin, a formidable opponent that could not be fought against.
In order to maintain the stability of the country, the king of Qin decided to send the pregnant Zhao Ji to Zhao as a hostage. So, Ying Zheng was born in Handan and began his life under the fence.
Despite being prominent in the Qin State, in the eyes of the Zhao State, he was just a pitiful hostage. The children of the Zhao royal family often bullied him, making his life very difficult.
Therefore, Ying Zheng often bears a scar, and his life in Zhao is full of hardships. However, it was in such a predicament that he met the woman he loved most in his life - Ah Fang Nu.
Ah Fangnu is a medicine picker in Handan, seeing Yingzheng who was beaten and bruised, her heart was full of pity, and despite her father's opposition, she took him home, boiled medicine for him, and took care of him.
Under the careful care of Ah Fangnu, the young Yingzheng has a deeper and deeper affection for her. This emotion has been throughout Yingzheng's life, and the love of youth is deeply rooted in the hearts of the two of them.
However, Yingzheng at that time did not have enough strength to marry the woman in his heart. So, the young Ying Zheng secretly made up his mind that he must achieve something great and marry the woman he loves.
In 247 BC, at the age of 13, Ying Zheng ascended the throne and became the king of Qin, and his heart was full of visions and ambitions for the future. He vowed to unify the Six Kingdoms and annihilate the Kingdom of Zhao in order to marry the woman he loved.
However, his ascension to the throne did not go smoothly and he faced many difficulties. First of all, when he was young, he did not have real power, and his mother Zhao Ji did not fully support him, but restrained his power together with Prime Minister Lü Buwei and Changxin Hou Changyu.
Therefore, Ying Zheng is like a marionette manipulated by others. Despite this, Ying Zheng did not give up on his beliefs. He still has a strategy in mind to unify the six countries, and looks forward to one day realizing his dream.
It wasn't until Yingzheng was 21 years old that he began to really take power. However, even then, the internal politics of the Qin state were still in the hands of the prime minister and Chang Yu.
And Chang Yu is even more villainous, and after getting drunk, he pretends to be the false father of the king of Qin and reprimands the minister. Despite this predicament, Ying Zheng remained indomitable, stuck to his beliefs, and finally succeeded in realizing his dream of unifying the six countries.
His story shows us how a teenage hero perseveres in the face of difficulties and ultimately achieves his goals.
The minister's revelation made the king of Qin angry, and Chang Yu planned a rebellion in a panic. In 238 BC, he used the seals of the King of Qin and the Empress Dowager to launch a rebellion, but was defeated by the King of Qin and executed by Che Split.
The following year, the king of Qin dismissed Lü Buwei from his post and exiled him to the land of Bashu. Lü Buwei knew that his relationship with the King of Qin was irretrievable, so he committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine. After that, the king of Qin reused Wei Yi, Li Si and others, and adopted the strategy of defeating them one by one, successfully recovered the six kingdoms, and established the first unified multi-ethnic state in Chinese history.
In the process of unifying the Six Kingdoms, King Qin once again met the woman he had in mind, Afangnu, who was the maid of Princess Mindai. As soon as Qin Shi Huang saw her, all his emotions poured out, he looked at the woman standing in front of him, remembered the bits and pieces of his youth, and wanted to crown her queen.
This idea reached the imperial court and attracted strong opposition from the courtiers. First of all, Afangnu was a native of Zhao, and she was not a prominent prince and nobleman of Zhao, so she was not compatible with Qin Shi Huang, who had already unified the six kingdoms at that time.
In addition, she could not bring any benefit to Qin Shi Huang. Faced with the obstruction of his ministers, Qin Shi Huang was caught in a dilemma. On one side is the woman he loves, and on the other is the empire he has just established.
This news reached the ears of Ah Fangnu, and in order to prevent Qin Shi Huang from falling into this predicament, she chose to commit suicide and solve the problem with her own life. After the death of Afangnu, Qin Shi Huang was grief-stricken, and in order to commemorate her, he specially built Afang Palace.
Some people say that the real identity of Afangnu is Li Jiang, she has repeatedly rejected the idea of Qin Shi Huang to establish a queen, she raised the crown prince Fusu, and accompanied Qin Shi Huang in such an identity.
In Li Jiang's view, companionship is the best way to be a lover and confidant. However, in order to ease the relationship between Qin Shi Huang and the crown prince Fusu, she chose to kill herself. Although neither Ah Fangnu nor Li Jiang left a record in the history books, it is certain that the reasons for the failure of Qin Shi Huang to establish himself during his lifetime are varied.
One of the big reasons was that his mother had an influence on him. His mother was originally Lü Buwei's concubine, who was married by the King of Qin because of her beauty.
After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, Zhao Ji maintained a close relationship with Lü Buwei, but had an affair with Chang Yu and even gave birth to two illegitimate children. Although these two children were thrown to death by Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Ji's actions did have an impact on Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang had more goals in mind for the great cause of unification, and he made it his mission to unify the six states. After he completed the reunification, he began to build the Great Wall, Ling Canal and other facilities.
He took strong measures militarily, politically, culturally, and economically to maintain the regime he had established. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang's heart was more concerned about the country, so he didn't care about the things after the establishment.
It is rumored that Qin Shi Huang has been waiting for a woman all his life, because of the accidental rescue when he was young, he will never forget her.
The emotions of his youth were hindered by the difference in status in adulthood, and the suicide of Ah Fang Nu broke Yingzheng's heart, and since then, he has never met a woman who can touch his heartstrings, so he chose not to stand for life.
Ying Zheng's life is full of legends, and his great contributions to the Chinese dynasty are indelible and clear. Although people have mixed evaluations of his merits, there is little research on his love history.
It is widely believed that women are only tools for him to achieve great things, and he has never touched his true feelings. As for the person he waited, but he didn't wait, there is no clear record in the history books, most of them are described by folk rumors and adapted TV series.
