What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Bai Yang, author of "The Ugly Chinese", commented that Qin Shi Huang's IQ was urgent, please consult his translation into the vernacular version of "Zizhi Tongjian 02". why? He believed that Emperor Chong called himself "Emperor" and ordered the civil and military officials to call him "Emperor". It is enough to see that Qin Shi Huang is a guy who loves to engage in personality worship and has no great wisdom. How dare you black Qin Shi Huang?
No matter how smart Qin Shi Huang is, it is undeniable that from more than 2,000 years ago to now, Qin Shi Huang has always been a super bean in Chinese's heart. Naturally, those things in the harem of Qin Shi Huang have been talked about by the world for thousands of years. Among them, the biggest unsolved case is, why did the Emperor of the Ages not have the First Empress?
Did Qin Shi Huang have an empress? The two most authoritative historical classics in ancient China, the "Records of History" and the "Zizhi Tongjian", are vague, so the world has always thought that Qin Shi Huang did not appoint an empress. The reason given is that because Qin Shi Huang and his mother Zhao Ji were born debauched and raised their faces, it stimulated and hurt the young soul of Qin Shi Huang when he was a child, causing Qin Shi Huang to hate women and not to want an empress.
Does this argument hold water? Not to mention that the people of the Qin Dynasty were originally fierce and open. Let's say that Qin Shi Huang's grandfather's father, King Zhaoxiang of Qin, his mother Empress Xuan and King Yiqu also played two sons? Even if Qin Shi Huang felt humiliated, there was also a grandfather cushioning his back, and besides, the old and young masters of Qin Shi Huang's time did not think that there was a problem with their mother raising a small white face, okay?
How could Qin Shi Huang not have an empress? In this way, Qin Shi Huang should have an empress. And the first empress in Chinese history should be a princess of the Chu state. Why?
Madame Huayang's family tree
Reasoning 1: According to Qin Law, Qin Shi Huang needs to marry and elect a queen at the age of 23, who is the person who has the right to elect an empress for Qin Shi Huang at this time? Grandmother Lady Huayang, granddaughter of Empress Xuan's younger brother Mi Rong. Even Qin Shi Huang and his father Zi Yi recognized the childless Lady Huayang as his adoptive mother before becoming the King of Qin. It can be seen that since Empress Xuan, the forces of foreign relatives in Chu have been able to influence the power of the Qin state. Therefore, in order to continue to consolidate the power of Chu foreign relatives in Qin, Lady Huayang will inevitably arrange a Chu princess to be empress for Qin Shi Huang.

However, Qin Shi Huang's 23-year-old wedding is imminent, and his grandmother Xia Ji and his mother Zhao Ji still have the right to find an empress. When Qin Shi Huang was 20 years old, Xia Ji returned to the west. When Qin Shi Huang was 22 years old, Zhao Ji was expelled from Xianyang under house arrest for rebelling against his father. Before Qin Shi Huang was 23 years old and married, his grandmother and mother had an accident! Does this seem quite strange? That's right! Perhaps, in order to control the overall situation, Lady Huayang secretly removed Zhao Ji Xia Ji, who represented the foreign forces in Korea, so as to smoothly let the Princess of Chu continue to be the next queen of Qin.
Reasoning 2: In the last year of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led a peasant uprising, under the banner of revenge for Xiang Yan and Gongzi Fusu. Chen Sheng Wu Guang is a Chu national, Xiang Yan is also a Chu national, there is nothing wrong with avenging his family! However, Gongzi Fusu was the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, not a Chu national, and Chen Sheng wu guang made a mistake? How can it be.
The famous Japanese historian Fujita Katsuhisa boldly guessed in the book "The Era of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang - History of the Rise and Fall of the Qin and Han Empires": Gongzi Fusu was also a Chu national, so the name of the uprising was justified. At the same time, it also proves that Gongzi Fusu's mother is a Chu state, and it is likely that she is the empress of Qin Shi Huang, who did not appear in the history books.
Why did Qin Shi Huang's empress disappear from the history books? Probably Qin Shi Huang did it!
Why did Fu Su commit suicide? It must have been Qin Shi Huang who wanted him to die. Why did Qin Shi Huang want him to die? Because Fu Su is a Chu national. Qin Shi Huang wanted to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and his biggest opponent was the Chu State! Wang Qi led 600,000 troops to destroy Chu, which is ironclad evidence. And if we want to unify the world, when we destroy the Chu state, we must also eliminate the Chu people, the largest foreign relative force within the Qin state. From the empress of Qin Shi Huang to the seven aunts and eight aunts, they could not escape death. That history must have been very bloody.
The last powerful Chu of the Qin state was Lady Huayang
You must know that when Qin Shi Huang was a child, he went with his mother to the big tree of Lady Huayang, and he naturally walked very close to his relatives outside of Chu. As a childhood playmate and sibling, later because of his status as a foreign relative of Chu, he turned against the enemy, which is very likely. If shi guan is allowed to tell the truth, it will bring Qin Shi Huang the insult of the six relatives who do not recognize ungratefulness. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang probably took it upon himself to let that period of history disappear from the history books!
Did Qin Shi Huang ever make an empress? The result of reasoning, there should be. As for those in the know, they were either hanged by the exterminations or all of them were silent and rotten in their stomachs. Therefore, in the history books, Qin Shi Huang did not make an empress! In fact, the empress of Qin Shi Huang may have been a princess of the Chu state.
