The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that in 210 BC , " The First Emperor collapsed on the platform of the dunes , and Qixiang Si was outside , fearing that the princes and the world would change , it was a secret , and there was no mourning ", and Hu Hai, under the control of Zhao Gao and Li Si, successfully replaced Fu Su, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, to succeed to the throne as emperor, and Fu Su was instead given death and became a strange injustice throughout the ages.
However, in recent years, many research findings have subverted the public's stereotype of Qin Shi Huang, who seems to be less "tyrannical and impermanent", so the authenticity of the "History" is also questioned. For example, the "Records of History" once said that Qin Shi Huang cut down the Xiangshan trees, while the Yuelu Academy in Hunan Province, Qin Jian, recorded that Qin Shi Huang protected the trees of Xiangshan Mountain; in addition, the usurpation of hu Hai's throne recorded in the "Records of History" has also become a controversial historical mystery.
According to the "Records of History", Hu Hai was a fierce and fierce person, who not only snatched the throne of his brother Fu Su, but also killed his own brothers and sisters. However, materials such as the Book of Zhao Zheng show that Hu Hai's throne was inherited from Qin Shi Huang in a righteous manner: "Zhao Zheng was drooling and said: 'I am not a suspicious son.'" Son, my loyal subject also, his deliberations were established. The first words of the chancellor and the imperial chancellor went to the death of the emperor and said: "Now that the road is far away and the emperor is in the period of the courtiers, I am afraid that the ministers have a plan, and I ask hu hai to be the successor." Wang Yue: "Yes." ’”
To explore this puzzle, you may be able to find the answer from The Daughter of Qin Shi Huang, Yin Yin. Yin Yin, also known as Yin Yang Zi, is not well documented in the history books, when she was born and who her birth mother was unknown, but she died in the spring of the first year of Qin II, that is, in 209 BC, when Hu Hai ascended the throne and exterminated her brothers and sisters.
Although the history books do not clearly state the number of qin shi huang's children, it can be speculated according to many records that qin shi huang should have 33 children, according to the "History", the eldest son Fu Su, Gongzi Gao, and Gongzi General Lu were all killed by Hu Hai, Hu Hai executed 12 brothers in Xianyang City, 6 brothers and 10 sisters in DuYou, and Yin Yin was also among them.
Gongzi left Lu and the others to the end, shouting "I am not guilty" and dying, and the consequences of this were "Zhen Fear of the Clan Room" and "Zhen Fear of Qianshou", and Hu Hai's brutality caused people to change their minds. Some people also questioned that Hu Hai's image, like Qin Shi Huang's, was negative because of various depictions of adding oil and vinegar, but in 1976, a group of funerary tombs was found near Shangjiao Village on the east side of the Qin Tombs, a total of 17 of which were excavated with "Yin Yan Copper Seals".
That is to say, Yin Yin, who once enjoyed the glory of the princess, was hastily buried near the Qinling Cemetery after her death. After more than 2,000 years, Yin Yin's tomb can still reveal some historical traces, including her tomb, archaeologists have excavated 8, of which 7 have human bones, a total of 5 men and 2 women, but these bones are very scattered, either the head is separated, or the head is shot, showing that the owner of the tomb died unnaturally.
However, the funerary products in the tomb are all gold, jade, lacquerware, silk, which ordinary people cannot use, which can prove that the owner of the tomb was noble before he died. Coupled with the fact that the tomb unearthed two private seals, one engraved with "Rong Lu", from the male tomb, one engraved with "Yang Zi", from the female tomb, there are traces of the tomb digger roasting fire in the tomb, in line with the history books of the Qin II Hu Hai execution of brothers and sisters, it can be basically judged that the owners of these tombs are likely to be the children of Qin Shi Huang who was killed.
Yin Yin was a daughter, and under the strict "patriarchal system" at that time, hu hai did not threaten Hu Hai's throne, but Hu Hai still brutally executed her, which shows that she was indeed ruthlessly dehumanized, from which it can be inferred that the possibility of Hu Hai framing Su and plotting to usurp the throne is very large, and the content written by Sima Qian's "History" basically restores historical facts, not fictional nonsense.
