Speaking of which, Qin Shi Huang left too many mysteries for future generations.
Among them, what is particularly eye-catching is that he has a lot of beauties in his harem, but he does not have a queen.
In this regard, Mr. Wang Liqun gave his views in CCTV's "Hundred Lectures" in "Wang Liqun's Reading of Historical Records: Qin Shi Huang".
First, there are many wins.
Anyway, it roughly means that there are too many beauties in the palace of Qin Shi Huang, so many that it is dazzling, and it is not easy to make a choice.
Second, resentment of mothers and daughters.
Roughly speaking, it means that Qin Shi Huang did not have a good impression of women because of his mother's fornication, so he did not want to be an empress.
Third, be keen to seek immortals.
This statement is roughly intended to express that if Qin Shi Huang wants to truly become an immortal, he must know how to control himself, and then he needs to abstain.
Over time, there will be no thoughts of the future.
Fourth, the conditions are too high.
This article is similar to the first one, so I won't repeat it.
In fact, in addition to Wang Liqun, there are many scholars who have also interpreted why Qin Shi Huang did not establish an empress to varying degrees.
Generally speaking, everyone is "the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable", and no one can convince anyone anyway.
It is worth mentioning that among the many interpretations, there are two types of views that still have some truth.
First, Qin Shi Huang, as an emperor with great talent and strategy, was often influenced by a variety of factors in his political decisions.
In the question of the establishment of the empress, he may have taken into account the stability of the country, the inheritance of imperial power, and the emotional needs of the individual.
The second category, the social system and cultural traditions of the Qin Dynasty, may have had an impact on the establishment of the empress by Qin Shi Huang.
During the Qin Dynasty, women's status was relatively low, and their role in political and social life was relatively limited.
Therefore, Qin Shi Huang may have thought that the establishment of an empress did not have much significance for maintaining imperial power, and was more inclined to devote his energy to the governance and development of the country.
However, in the author's opinion, why Qin Shi Huang did not establish a queen for life is very likely to be a false proposition.
In other words, why do I say that?
First, it is unlikely that Qin Shi Huang will not have a queen, just because if the ancient emperors wanted to ascend the throne, they had to go through the stage of marrying a wife and then completing the ** ceremony.
It can be very clear that although the current people say that Qin Shi Huang was not established.
But when he was still the king of Qin, there must have been a queen.
After all, according to the Qin system - the king's wedding ceremony.
In other words, Yingzheng must have had a queen, otherwise he would not be a ** and would not be able to govern himself.
Second, Qin Shi Huang is very likely to have a queen, but for some reason, he finally deleted his queen and concubines from the history books.
Since, when King Qin was in power, there should have been a queen, it stands to reason that it should be recorded in the register.
Then, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and became the first emperor, it was logical that there should also be an empress.
However, it is strange that this queen (queen) is not recorded in history.
Therefore, many scholars have speculated that all the information about the queen was deliberately deleted.
And the biggest suspect is none other than Qin Shi Huang himself.
Third, perhaps during the Qin Dynasty, the emperor's wife was not called the empress at all, but something else.
Since Qin Shi Huang is the first emperor, it is really hard to say what his wife should be called.
So, from a certain point of view, it doesn't matter if there is no record in the history books, or if there is no archaeological discovery.
In fact, none of this affects Qin Shi Huang to have an empress.
It's just that we can't know the exact name of the queen at that time.
And to get the real answer, we can only hope for the future of archaeology.
Hopefully, one day, archaeological work will uncover the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang's harem, and then uncover the historical mystery of whether Qin Shi Huang was an empress.
Fourth, we cannot rule out the loss and tampering of historical documents and archaeological materials in the process of inheritance.
In other words, in the time of Qin Shi Huang, there were indeed records of empresses.
However, due to various reasons, these records have gradually disappeared or been tampered with in the long course of history.
In this regard, we can only hope for the future of archaeology.
To sum up, it is very likely that Qin Shi Huang will have an empress, but for various reasons, we have not found out yet.
Therefore, if it is not discovered from the perspective of not yet being discovered, why Qin Shi Huang did not establish a queen for life, it is likely to be a false proposition!
