Qin Shi Huang was extravagant and lascivious, and there were countless beauties
Since Qin Shi Huang conquered the Quartet and became the lord of the world, his life has become more extravagant and cruel. He gathered many beautiful women just to satisfy his desires.
In 212 B.C., Qin Shi Huang began a large-scale construction of a palace in Nanshang Lin Yuan, south of Xianyang City, to commemorate his beloved woman, Ah Fang. Although Qin Shi Huang hoped to be able to establish Ah Fang as the queen, because Ah Fang was a native of Zhao and did not meet the conditions for the posterior, Ah Fang chose to sacrifice himself for the future of Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang lost his most beloved person, and he decided to build a magnificent palace for Ah Fang as a way to remember and commemorate her, which is the origin of Ah Fang Palace.
How big is the Afang Palace? Historical records show that the entire Afang Palace is 500 steps long from east to west, which is converted into the current length of about 260,300 meters, and the width from north to south is about 50 zhang, which is about 120 meters, which is equivalent to the size of six standard football fields.
Qin Shi Huang had extremely high requirements for the construction of Afang Palace, not only to have a large building that could accommodate 10,000 people, but also to be able to erect a five-zhang high Qin flag underneath. In addition, there is also a sky bridge built around the palace from the front hall to the south mountain, and there is an iconic archway at the top.
In order to facilitate access and access, there is also a bridge built to cross the Weishui from Afang and connect with Xianyang City. In addition, there are hundreds of palace towers built around the palace, each of which is very majestic, extravagant and luxurious, and is connected to the center of the palace.
And Qin Shi Huang personally selected thousands of beauties from all over the world and put them in these palace terraces for his own enjoyment. In order to ensure the quality of these beauties, Qin Shi Huang had a strict review and inspection of their appearance, figure, height, diet, hobbies, family background and past history, etc., to prevent people with bad intentions.
In order to keep the secret of his whereabouts, Qin Shi Huang kept the selection of his palace and favorite concubines secret, and those who knew about it would face severe punishment. In this way, he lived a free, undisturbed life in many pavilions, enjoying luxurious power and beauty.
Qin Shi Huang was once enjoying himself in a luxurious pavilion when he suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses outside the window. He looked over and found that it was Minister Li Si and his entourage passing by.
Believing that someone had leaked his whereabouts, he killed all the attendants and maids who knew where he was that day. Since then, no one has known where Qin Shi Huang is.
If the ministers had anything to report and Qin Shi Huang decide, they had to wait at the Afang Palace in Xianyang.
