Many people know that Qin Dynasty II died, in fact, there was a Qin III in the Qin Dynasty, but this Qin III reigned for a short time and was often ignored.
If we want to talk about Qin III, we have to go forward, starting with II.
Qin II Hu Hai is a stupid and stupid son, he can't govern the country, he can't use people, after he ascended the throne, he didn't do anything except spend all his time drinking and being stupid, and all the things about governing the country were handed over to Zhao Gao and Li Si. Of course, he can't do it if he doesn't pay it, firstly, he has no level, secondly, he has no team, and all he can rely on is Zhao Gao and Li Si. And these two are even more interesting, after the situation stabilized a little, they began to fight infighting, and they fought fiercely.
The result of the struggle was that Zhao Gao won and Li Si lost, and Li Si was directly beheaded by Zhao Gao and wiped out the three clans.
Some people may wonder, Zhao Gao is semi-illiterate, but Li Si is only eight years old and full of wealth, why was he killed by Zhao Gao?
On this issue, we can only say that political struggle, many times, it is not about skills, but about the bottom line. Li Si is a cultural person, somewhat ethical, besides, the Great Qin Empire can be said to be created by Li Si with the assistance of Qin Shi Huang, he has feelings for the country, so when the two fight involving national interests, he generally chooses to tolerate it. And Zhao Gao is a first-class gangster, he doesn't have so many feelings for the Qin State, the life or death of the empire has nothing to do with him, and because he is a eunuch, he has no pressure from future generations, he is not afraid of the curse of cutting off his children and grandchildren, he dares to do anything, he dares to do anything, he dares to do anything, and I am a hooligan who am I afraid of.
In addition, Li Si also underestimated Zhao Gao's goal, he always thought that Zhao Gao just wanted to be above 10,000 people under one person, and I would give him some power, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gao wanted to monopolize power, and even wanted to be the emperor.
Third, Zhao Gao has the emperor in his hands, and he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, while the Qin Dynasty's military talisman is in the hands of the emperor, and Li Si is just a civil servant.
After Li Si died, Zhao Gao, a eunuch, became the prime minister as he wished, and became the de facto helmsman of the Great Qin Empire. Zhao Gao is a cheerful person, once he directly said to Qin II Hu Haiming, Your Majesty should not worry about such a hard matter of governing the country.
Hu Hai, the commander of the light pole, can only push the boat with the water, and he has to thank this slave for his thoughtfulness.
Zhao Gao, an old rascal, may be able to play yin, but he is at the kindergarten level to govern the country. Under his rule, the whole country was in turmoil, the uprising team ignited by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang grew larger and larger, and the armies of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were also overwhelming.
In 207 BC, Liu Bang's army entered Guanzhong and approached Xianyang City.
Hu Hai is stupid, but he is not a real fool after all. In the past, Zhao Gao always blocked the news of the rebel army, saying that the rebel army was just making trouble for the people, but now that everyone has gone to Xianyang City, Zhao Gao couldn't seal it, so he had murderous intentions and sent his son-in-law, the Xianyang Order at that time, that is, Yan Le, the mayor of Xianyang City, to carry out this task.
To explain, Zhao Gao was a eunuch, but he adopted a daughter and married Yan Le. This Yan Le was also stunned, led his troops into the palace, and threw a knife directly to Hu Hai.
Hu Haiwo was confused for many years, but in the end he was very sober and cut his neck with a knife.
After Hu Hai's death, Zhao Gao held the jade seal of the country, gathered all the ministers, and originally wanted to ascend the throne himself, but found that some people did not support him, so he planned to say it slowly, and gave the jade seal to another person.
The pick-up man Zhao Gao was looking for in the crowd was the legendary Qin III, his name was Ziying, his surname was Win, and he was a member of the royal family, because Qin Shihuang's sons were all killed by Hu Hai. This child is said to be the younger brother of Qin Shi Huang, and he is already a lot of age at this time. However, Zhao Gao did not allow Ziying to be the emperor, and Zhao Gao's reason was that now that Great Qin was losing and retreating, the territory that he could control was smaller than before the unification, and it was more appropriate to be called the king.
The child is obedient, and if he is called king, he will be king. However, you must not think that Ziying is a soft persimmon, Ziying is not as gentlemanly as Hu Hai, he has been somewhat influenced by the spirit of his brother Qin Shi Huang to open up the territory, and he has a big move to make.
It is customary to fast before accepting the jade seal.
The child then fasted at home according to this rule. During the fasting period, Ziying consulted with his two sons that Zhao Gao had killed the second emperor, and that he had made me king because he was afraid that the ministers would not accept him, and that I had heard that he was colluding with Liu Bang and was planning to usurp the throne, so we had to kill him.
Ziying's plan was to say that he was sick and not to pick up the jade seal, Zhao Gao kept sending people to invite, but Ziying just didn't go. In the end, Zhao Gao had to come to invite him personally, this time, he went directly into Ziying's trap, and was caught in an urn by Ziying and his two sons, killed them, and the three clans along with him were also destroyed.
Judging from the killing of Zhao Gao, Ziying actually has the courage and means, and the key is to have brains.
Stepping on Zhao Gao's corpse, Ziying sat on the throne with Hu Hai's buttocks, of course, you can also call him the throne. Ziying originally wanted to revive the dynasty and fight with Liu Bang outside. However, Zhao Gao has been messing around for so many years, and the Qin State is already difficult to return to the sky and unable to return to the sky, under the attack of Liu Bang's army, Ziying only served as the king of Qin for forty-six days, and was forced to put a rope around his neck, ride a white horse in a chariot, present the jade seal of the country, and surrender to Liu Bang.
The Great Qin Empire, which was once extremely glorious in history, has also disappeared in this way.
By the way, it must be said that Ziying surrendered to Liu Bang. Liu Bang is also smart and polite to Ziying. Hu Hai is incompetent, Zhao Gao is bad, but objectively speaking, the Qin royal family still has supporters among the nobles in Guanzhong, and your rash killing of Ziying will only make the Qin nobles full of hatred for the new regime. If you want to stabilize the hearts of the Qin people, why do you need to kill children.
Therefore, when Liu Bang controlled Xianyang, Ziying was alive and well, but within a few days, Xiang Yu, the most famous butcher in Chinese history, came with high spirits, and without saying a word, he killed all the members of the Qin royal family and burned down the palace of the Qin king. After the poor Ziying, the third Qin Emperor, was killed, he didn't even have a decent grave.
Knowing this, Ziying probably wouldn't want to be Emperor Qin's pick-up man, but he was in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help himself, as a descendant of the royal family, he didn't have a choice for some things.
