Hu Hai's usurpation of the throne was a dramatic and thrilling event in Chinese history that took place at the end of the Qin Dynasty. After the death of Qin Shi Huang, due to the early death of his eldest son Fusu, and the unpopular political corruption of his second son Hu Hai, it led to social unrest. The political chaos of this period provided an excuse and an opportunity for the rebel army led by Liu Bang to eventually overthrow the Qin regime and establish the Han dynasty.

After the death of Qin Shi Huang, due to the early death of his eldest son Fusu, his second son Hu Hai succeeded to the throne. Hu Hai was young and incompetent, cruel-minded, regardless of the government and greedy for pleasure. He went on frequent patrols, indulged in wine, indulged in sensuality, and ignored government affairs. Moreover, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Hu Hai wantonly levied taxes and increased the burden on the people. He also over-cultivated exotic beasts and spent extravagantly, which led to the depletion of the treasury and the decline of national strength. He turned a blind eye to the development of the country and the suffering of the people, and Hu Hai's ** made the people's grievances boil and the society was unstable. In order to compete for power and profit, eunuchs and ministers colluded with foreign tribes and barbarians to join forces to revolt.

Under the internal and external troubles, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and other princes from all over the country responded one after another, setting off an anti-Qin wave. Liu Bang took the opportunity to raise troops in Hanzhong and launched the Battle of Jingyang, defeating the Qin army. The prestige of the Qin Dynasty gradually lost, the state was declining, and Hu Hai also became panicked and at a loss. At this time, the Qin Dynasty was already in danger at home and abroad, and Liu Bang finally succeeded in launching the Guanzhong Uprising and overthrowing the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In the Battle of Guanzhong, Liu Bang eventually captured Guanzhong, and Hu Hai fled to the palace in Xianyang. However, at the suggestion of Li Si, the prime minister of the Legalist family, who was loyal to the country, Hu Hai died of weeping blood in the palace, and in order to escape Liu Bang's pursuit, he killed himself in a desperate situation, and the Qin Dynasty ended.

The usurpation of Huhai and the fall of the Qin Dynasty were a very important event in Chinese history and a turning point in China's feudal society. The strong rule of Qin Shi Huang was replaced by the chaotic rule of Hu Hai, and it was because of this that the Han Dynasty rose to prominence and ushered in a new era in history. It has reinvigorated the confidence of the Chinese nation and re-established China's feudal social form. This history tells us that those in power must work for the well-being of the people, and must not be greedy and selfish, and despise the people's suffering, otherwise it will lead to uncontrollable resistance.
