And to the First Emperor, Yu Lie, Zhen Chang Ce and Yu Yu Nei, swallowed the princes of the second week and died, performed the supreme and made the Liuhe, and the world was whipped and whipped, and the world was viberated. - "On Passing the Qin"
The Spring and Autumn Warring States, the struggle for hegemony among the princes, the world of great strife, and the rise of war and chaos are destined to be an extraordinary era.
Since it comes to the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Qin State is a existence that cannot be ignored, from the barbarians who were despised by the princes of the Central Plains to the strongest princes who swept through the world, why did the Qin State turn around so magnificently after hundreds of years, and why did it destroy the Six Kingdoms to complete the final unification during the Qin Shi Huang period?
Different people have different views, some people think that it is because of the Shang martingale transformation method, some people think that the princes of Shandong are self-inflicted, and some people think that it is the trend of the times.

Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty believed that it was due to Yu Lie of the Sixth Dynasty of Fen, that is to say, Qin Shi Huang inherited the accumulation of his previous six generations of people and completed the great cause of unification on the foundation they created, which is the so-called standing on the shoulders of giants, so he saw farther.
So who are these six lifetimes?
Starting from the Duke of Qin Xiaogong, and then through King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin, King Xiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, and finally King Xiang of Qinzhuang, among these six generations of monarchs, the longest reign was King Zhaoxiang of Qin, with more than 50 years.
And the shortest is King Xiaowen of Qin, who died mysteriously only 3 days after his official ascension to the throne, so why is he still one of the sixth Yu Lie?
In this article, we will talk about the death of the monarch who suffered for 14 years and was the monarch for 3 days, the son reigned for only 3 years, and the grandson was the King Xiaowen of Qin, the emperor of the ages.
King Xiaowen of Qin, named Yinzhu, was the second son of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and in the era of the primogeniture system, Yinzhu was quite a prince, which was extremely difficult, because in front of him was also his brother Prince Mo, which was not a real name, but similar to a nickname, because Prince Mo died early.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin was not worried at all about the death of the crown prince, because he had other sons, and his own body was double-handed, so in 265 BC, Yingzhu was made crown prince and crowned as the Prince of An.

He was very happy to be the pillar after An Guojun, because he thought that the position of the monarch of Great Qin was one step away from him, and he was very confident that this step was a good step, after all, at this time, King Zhaoxiang of Qin was already 60 years old.
In the context of the generally not very long life expectancy in ancient times, King Qin Zhaoxiang was already 60 years old, so An Guojun's idea was not wrong, but the next thing made An Guojun very distressed, because Qin Zhaoxiang King was in good health and was not sick at all, and An Guojun waited for 14 years.
In the 14 years of being the crown prince, An Guojun changed from ambition to helplessness, and finally became self-abandonment, because he could not know how long his father and king could live, so he focused on the sound of dogs and horses, and there were more than 20 sons of An Guojun alone, and behind this number represented An Guojun's day and night work.
In 251 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who was more than seventy years old, had been the monarch for more than fifty years, and finally came to the end of his life, and An Guojun also officially changed from a prince to a monarch, for King Xiaowen of Qin, but at this time he could not personally govern, because according to the rules, he still had to guard filial piety for his father.

In 250 BC, when King Xiaowen of Qin's mourning period expired, he finally waited for the day of pro-government, officially took the throne as the leader of the Great Qin State, and then, like all the successor monarchs, began to amnesty the world and treat the heroes of the previous kings well, of course, the most important point was to make Yingyi a prince.
And these "feats" of King Xiaowen of Qin were all completed within 3 days, because after 3 days, King Xiaowen of Qin followed the footsteps of King Zhaoxiang of Qin to report to king Yan, and then He yiren succeeded to the throne for King Xiang of Qinzhuang, but he was not a long-lived lord, and he also died after 3 years of reign, and then the first emperor qin shi huang who took the throne was the first emperor of the ancient world.
After his death within 3 days of his official ascension to the throne, King Xiaowen of Qin seems to have become a joke among the monarchs of the Qin State, so why did King Xiaowen of Qin die in just 3 days, and whether there was any conspiracy in it, there are the following theories about the cause of death of King Xiaowen of Qin:
Qin Xiaogong and Shang Martin in the film and television
First, natural death, Qin Zhaoxiang King lived too long, in ancient times, more than 70 years old is also one of the few high lifespan, and when Qin Zhaoxiang Died, Qin Xiaowen Wang was already more than 50 years old, looking at the six generations of qin kings, only Qin Zhaoxiang Wang's surprising longevity, so the probability of Qin Xiaowen Wang's natural death is also very large.
Second, the excessive indulgence of the body has long collapsed, we have already mentioned above that King Xiaowen of Qin has more than 20 sons alone, and he cannot give birth to sons, which means that King Xiaowen of Qin should still have daughters, so many children, King Xiaowen of Qin xiaowen can also understand excessive indulgence.
Third, too excited and sudden death, King Xiaowen of Qin lived for decades, and finally waited for his father's life, and finally won the throne of the monarch of the Qin State, and he did not have to live in the shadow of his father, and the excitement of King Xiaowen of Qin after the pro-government, it is natural not to say, so after the pro-government, sudden death because of excessive excitement is also possible.

Fourth, the poisoning of Lü Buwei and others, Lü Buwei, as a shrewd big businessman, his ultimate business was to send The Son of King Xiaowen of Qin to the throne, because only in this way could his abacus be satisfactory, and at this time, Lü Buwei already had a certain amount of power in the Qin State, and although it was more difficult to complete this step, it was also slightly possible.
King Xiaowen of Qin died mysteriously only 3 days after he officially ascended the throne, and there was no merit at all during his reign, so why did Jia Yi still say that he was one of the sixth Yu Lie, and was he not afraid that posterity would laugh at King Xiaowen of Qin?
In fact, this is only this kind of literary art based on facts, after all, since the beginning of Qin Xiaogong and the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there have indeed been six monarchs in the middle, regardless of the length of the reign, this is the case, as for the achievements made during the reign, it is not within jia Yi's consideration.

However, although King Xiaowen of Qin reigned for a short time, it was not useless, at least his reign of 3 days, stabilized the situation in the Qin state, and most importantly, established a successor, which also avoided the political turmoil in the Qin state after the death of King Xiaowen of Qin, and many heirs to compete for the throne of the king.
Of course, his greatest merit was to go to Lü Buwei's "dang" and make Ying Yiren the prince, which was also the basis for the smooth succession of Qin Shi Huang's Yingzheng, so it is reasonable to say that King Xiaowen of Qin was one of the sixth Yu Lie.
