My name is Ying Zheng, when did you start following me? Maybe before learning about ancient Chinese history, or after listening to Meng Jiangnu crying about the Great Wall?
Who the hell do you think I am? If I'm not mistaken, in 259 BC, I was born in Handan, Zhao State, when Qin and Zhao had just experienced the famous Battle of Changping in history, how could the Zhao people not hate us Qin people? So at that time I was struggling in the Zhao Kingdom, and I don't want to recall my life, at that time, when my peers were playing with friends, I had no playmates, and in 251 BC, I returned to the Qin Kingdom.
During my eight years in the Zhao Kingdom, the history books did not record what kind of life I had, and during that time, I learned every day how to evade the pursuit of Zhao soldiers and how to survive in that troubled era.
I ascended the throne in 246 BC, I was only thirteen years old, and I had to face the situation that the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was handling the government affairs and the Xiangguo Lu Buwei was assisted. In 241 BC, when I was 18 years old, the state of Chu took the lead and organized the last joint attack on Qin.
After that, there was a queen mother's convening of a harem of fornication and a rebellion. This is a lot of things. I don't have any friends or courtiers to talk to. In 238 B.C., I became a pro-curator. I deposed Lü Buwei's phase, I endured the humiliation and waited for the opportunity, I still have no friends, and there is no record of the affairs of the harem.
I only had three short years of fatherly love, maybe not three years, when I knew I had no way out. In front of me are six countries eyeing each other. Behind me are precarious civilians and ministers who don't trust me, and the only one I can rely on is myself, and I will destroy all the enemies who dare to stand in my way. Do you know? It took me only 9 years to destroy the speed of the car 6 countries. It's a shame. The Six Nations are gone. The name of this tyrant will be borne by me alone. I began to unify the various systems and became the first emperor in history.
I pioneered the county system, the system of three public and nine secretaries, and heavy punishment for minor crimes. I started building the Great Wall. I don't know that building the Great Wall costs the people and money, but the labor and money are only for a while, and it is a long-term plan to defend against foreign enemies. Some people say that I only burned books, not killing, some people say that I burned books and killed people, I burned books that were not conducive to my rule, and I killed those who deceived people, it doesn't matter, my image as a tyrant has been deeply rooted, true and false. Leave it to future generations to speculate.
Do you know? I have no clan support, no relatives to share, no eunuch clique, no heirs, I just have a less mature bureaucracy and a high but cold throne. I was thinking about my return and the meaning of life, and I couldn't find the answers.
In my later years, I knew that there was an irrepressible force in the whole world, and I began to worry that I was also a human being, and in the last years of my life, I was going to seek immortals. I want to pursue that little life, but when my life is at the end, I can't wait for that day, and I die on the way to the fifth east. Needless to say, I am lonely, I just want to let the world and my people live in peace for a long time.
