Ancient imperial tombs will generally arrange for the tomb keeper to guard, as an emperor of thousands of years, Qin Shi Huang pursued a thick burial, whether from the imperial tomb to the luxurious setting of the terracotta warriors, can prove his arrogant mentality, its mausoleum has a tomb keeper This can also be confirmed, but who is the tomb keeper, the history books have not been recorded, and the folk are different.
Some people have verified that the people who guarded the mausoleum were the descendants of the great general Meng Tian; some people disagreed with this statement, saying that the people who guarded the tomb were the descendants of Wang Qi, the general of Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang was a very complex figure, and successive emperors named him the greatest person in China, saying that he had made China complete the unification, otherwise everyone would not have such a big style as an emperor.
However, many Chinese scholars and doctors also opposed him, saying that he was a great tyrant and hindered the progress and development of Chinese society. Although he said that although he unified weights and measures and writing, at the same time he "unified" people's thinking, imprisoned freedom, and destroyed the rare situation of a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming, so that China has since missed the opportunity to enter a civilized country and entered a dead end of feudal autocracy.
But when Qin Shi Huang was in power, people themselves did not think so, and they felt that although they were a little cruel, they had destroyed the Six Kingdoms after all, and became the first emperor in Chinese history. Therefore, he himself called himself the "First Emperor", and let the successors "'II'" and 'III' inherit the great cause, and the color will never change for generations.
Qin Shi Huang said hesitantly: "Become the first emperor." The afterlife is counted, and the second and third generations are passed on to all generations! ''
But it didn't take long for his elaborate blueprint to become a joke. The First Emperor did not become the beginning, almost became the end, and the "beginning" became death. When Jiangshan was finished, The Second Hu Hai died, and his descendants were also dead. Fortunately, the imperial tomb of Qin Shi Huang was built relatively firmly and did not suffer major damage. Moreover, in later generations, there were still people guarding the tomb for him, and Qin Shi Huang could be under the Nine Springs.
Speaking of this, everyone must be confused in their hearts, qin shi huang's descendants are gone, who will guard the tomb for him?
Qin Shi Huang was a great tyrant, calling himself a "widow", who ruled by authoritarianism, and few ministers were sincere with him, but only because of his obscenity and power followed him. The only thing that was really used by him and was dead set on him was Monty.
Meng Tian was a great hero of Qin Shi Huang's expansion of territory and sweeping the Six Kingdoms, and was one of the most respected ministers. When the State of Qi was captured in 221 BC, Meng Tian was given the title of Internal History for his meritorious service. Not only that, Qin Shi Huang not only handed over military power to Meng Tian, but also handed over the internal affairs of the country to Meng Tian's younger brother Meng Yi, the official supreme secretary, which made the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu all jealous to death.
What really made Meng Tian make a great contribution to Qin Shi Huang was his feat of crusading against the Xiongnu, but Meng Tian's conquest of the Xiongnu was not only because the Xiongnu attacked our borders and invaded the territory of Great Qin, but because of Qin Shi Huang's superstition.
In 215 BC, Lu Sheng, a Yan man, presented a book to Qin Shi Huang, which contained a prophecy saying, "Hu Ye, the deceased of Qin." Qin Shi Huang did a lot of bad things in his life, there were ghosts in his heart, lest others take away the Jiangshan, and when he saw this, he was horrified by the prophecy, and felt that this "Hu" of the qin was the meaning of the Hu people, and immediately sent the general Meng Tian to fight against the Xiongnu, hoping to relieve the Xiongnu of their threat to their own regime.
Meng Tian did not live up to qin shi huang's trust in himself, led 300,000 troops to retake the Hetao region as desired, beat the Xiongnu obediently, and did not dare to harass the people of the Central Plains again. Kings in history are suspicious, and Qin Shi Huang is a very suspicious emperor, who has almost no trust in the ministers around him, but is an exception for the Mengtian brothers. Meng Tian led troops outside to resist the Xiongnu invasion for more than ten years, and his younger brother Meng Yi was treated favorably by Qin Shi Huang in the palace: "'Position supreme secretary, out of the ride, into the imperial front'". (The Chronicle of The Chronicle of Montien)
It is indeed unimaginable that the two brothers, one outside the lord and one inside the lord, almost monopolized the power of the Qin state, were favored, and replaced by other ministers. Moreover, when Qin Shi Huang was considering a successor, he also trusted Meng Tian very much, hoping that he could escort the future monarch of the Qin State and become a "Minister of Orders".
In 212 BC, Qin Shi Huang burned books to pit Confucianism, more than 400 Confucian students were killed in Xianyang, the crown prince Fu Su objected, put forward different opinions, Qin Shi Huang was furious, let him go to MengTian as a supervisor. On the surface, Qin Shi Huang's move was not to trust Meng Tian and also resentful of Fu Su, but in fact, he let Fu Su go to the grassroots to exercise, establish feelings with Meng Tian, and pave the way for future succession.
It was precisely because Meng Tian was highly used by Qin Shi Huang that Zhao Gao forced him to die when he launched a coup d'état. It is also because of the special monarchy relationship between Meng Tian and Qin Shi Huang that some people think that those who have guarded the emperor's mausoleum for Qin Shi Huang for so many years must be the descendants of Meng Tian.
However, according to research, Meng Tian's descendants have been cut off by Zhao Gao and cut off their children and grandchildren. Therefore, it is very unlikely that Meng Tian's descendants will guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Therefore, many scholars believe that the Shouling people have other people, they are not others, but the descendants of the Qin general Wang Qi.
Wang Qi was the elder of the Four Dynasties of the Qin Dynasty, and he had been a xiangguo for many years, whether it was Fan Ju, Cai Ze, or Lü Buwei, they all respected him.
However, he was tired of the official arena and the intrigue, and after capturing the Yan capital, he immediately had a long-term talk with Qin Shi Huang all night, sincerely saying that he wanted to disarm and return to the field.
At that time, the great cause of the unification of the Qin State was only half completed, and it was precisely on the occasion of employing people that Qin Shi Huang was willing to let go.
However, Wang Qi had already made up his mind, and also made arrangements for the future military strategy and political policy to Qin Shi Huang, and recommended other generals to take over his own burden.
Later, when Chu was destroyed, Wang Qi made a comeback at the request of the King of Qin, and after completing his mission, he resolutely went into hiding, and the monarchs and subjects embraced each other and parted with tears.
Wang Qi retreated bravely and was able to die well, not being purged by Zhao Gao or persecuted by Liu BangXiangyu.
Wang Qi's descendants' families were prosperous and distributed in the area of Fuping County, Shaanxi, with the conditions to wait for the Qin Tombs, and also the motivation to wait for the Qin Tombs.
