The first emperor in the history of our country, qin shi huang, the founding emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was a legendary figure. At the age of 13, he became the King of Qin, and at the age of 22, he eliminated the powerful ministers Lü Buwei and Yan Yi, and annihilated all the remaining six kingdoms before the age of 40, unifying the whole country. After that, he called himself the First Emperor, the first emperor, he unified the country's writing and coins, opened various commercial channels, built the Great Wall, the Northern Expedition xiongnu and so on. He established a powerful state and made great contributions to future generations, but after his death, the Qin Dynasty went to the end.
After Qin Shi Huang's son Hu Hai ascended the throne, he killed his brothers and sisters with the assistance of Zhao Gao and Li Cha, and Zhao Gao took political power and ruled the country brutally, arousing the dissatisfaction of the people, so that the royal family of the former six kingdoms would launch a restoration movement. Later, Hu Hai was forced to commit suicide by Zhao Gao, so Zhao Gao found a puppet emperor, and this was the baby. After zi bao became emperor, it was not as easy to control as Zhao Gao imagined, and together with his son and the chancellor Han Tan, he plotted to kill Zhao Gao, so he successfully killed him five days later and destroyed the three clans of Zhao Gao.
It can be seen that although Zi Bao was once regarded as a puppet emperor by Zhao Gao, he killed Zhao Gao in a very short period of time and helped himself, which shows that he is a resourceful person who dares to resist. Although Zi Bao killed Zhao Gao and regained power, Great Qin still faced a huge threat, namely Liu Bang and Xiang Yu of Jiangdong, who had launched the war in the turmoil at that time. The Qin state facing Liu Bang still had the ability to resist, but at this moment Liu Bang wrote a letter to the emperor Zi Bao, who after reading this letter, thought twice and decided to open the city gate and surrender.
Why did Liu Bang open the city gates and surrender when he wrote a letter? In a letter written by Liu Bang to Zi Bao, he said: "If you surrender, I will not only not kill you but also make you my prime minister." Zi Bao may feel that he can't win Liu Bang, rather than perhaps let the family bleed into a river, it is better to surrender to Liu Bang, but also as his prime minister, ten thousand people can only go up, and his family members can be treated kindly, so surrender to him. After Liu Bang entered the customs, he also kept his promise not to kill the baby, and really made him the prime minister, in fact, Qin III killed Zhao Gaoneng to overturn, but in order to save his life, he still chose to surrender.
After the baby was demoted to the position of prime minister, he was ordered to go to Hanguguan to guard the town, so he took his royal family to Hanguguan with him, thinking that he would be able to live a stable life, but in the end it backfired. Xiang Yu led the Jiangdong army to attack Xianyang, Liu Bang could not resist at all and fled with people, while the baby who was in Hangu Pass was killed by Xiang Yu, not only that Xiang Yu also wantonly killed the remaining royal members of the Qin Dynasty, but the baby eventually misbelieved Liu Bang's ability, resulting in the family being slaughtered by the people. Later, Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the King of Western Chu, and established the descendants of the Six Kingdoms as kings and set them all in Pengcheng.
As a descendant of Qin Shi Huang, zi bao successfully got rid of the puppet emperor, and in his high school of killing the traitor Zhao Gao, it can be seen that he is very capable, but just because Liu Bang said a word, he handed over the qin dynasty's empire to people, which is very confusing, and history does not record why Zi Bao actually abandoned the city and surrendered. In the end, this also became a controversial matter in the world, people also said that the Great Qin Dynasty was destroyed at his hands, and some people said that Zi Bao was a wise monarch, and the reason why Great Qin would perish was because the great trend had gone.
