The empress is the title of the wife of the emperor, the supreme ruler of the empire in history, and the empress's position in the harem is like that of the son of heaven, she is the lord of all concubines. Generally speaking, when the crown prince reaches a certain age, he will marry a right-of-the-road, virtuous wife, who will accompany him to become empress. Even if not, when the young emperor reaches a certain age, someone will marry him. Even Puyi, the abdicated emperor, married Empress Wanrong, and some emperors had more than one empress, and there were not a few who had three empresses. In history, there is only one emperor without an empress, and this is the founder of the empress system, he is Qin Shi Huang.
In May of the third year of the reign of King Xiang of Qin (247 BC), the thirteen-year-old Yingzheng was made the King of Qin, and at this time, due to his young age, the government was controlled by Lü Buwei. In the ninth year of the First Emperor (238 BC), Yingzheng defeated the rebellious Concubine Yi in one fell swoop at his crown ceremony and imprisoned his mother Zhao Ji. The following year, he dismissed Lü Buwei from his post, exiled him, and Lü Buwei committed suicide. Since then, the power of the Qin state has been in the body of Yingzheng alone. When the Qin state came into his hands, it had already become incomparably powerful due to the early Shang martingale transformation method, and Yingzheng dared to reuse non-Qin ministers such as Li Si and Wei Ji.
Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms was actually a matter of time, and in 230 BC, the Qin War to Destroy the Six Kingdoms began, and it took nearly a decade to complete the great cause of unifying China in 221 BC. It is reasonable to say that his great cause of pacifying the world has also been completed, and he himself has set up the position of empress, but he has never been an empress. Not only that, Qin Shi Huang also began to parade around. In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor (210 BC), the 49-year-old Qin Shi Huang died in the sand dunes on the Eastern Tour Road.
So he became the only emperor in Chinese history who did not have an empress, so why didn't he make an empress? In fact, whether it is after ascending the throne, seizing power, or after unifying the world, Yingzheng has countless opportunities to become an empress. However, until his death, he did not express the idea of wanting to stand up. This incident has also allowed countless historians to speculate and study, and many people have written many gossip stories because of this.
For example, the recent Ba Qing chuan, this is still a bit of a rip-off. According to historical data, ba widow Qing was many years older than Qin Shi Huang, not to mention, just a little bit can prove that Shi Huang did not have any thoughts about her. That is, Qin Shi Huang once praised the ba widow Qing as a virgin, and built a Huai Qingtai for her in recognition of her, and his appreciation for her was because the Ba widow Qing did not remarry after the death of her husband, from beginning to end. Appreciating her chastity, but having a crush on her, isn't that punching yourself in the face?
Therefore, the first theory appeared that Qin Shi Huang was reluctant to make an empress because of his mother Zhao Ji, which was also a very important reason why Qin Shi Huang respected Ba's widow Qing. Zhao Ji, the mother of Qin Shi Huang, first had some relations with Lü Buwei, and then gave birth to two children with Yan Yi. Although the power later returned to the hands of Yingzheng, he never forgave his mother, who hurt him a lot. The virginity of ba widow Qing was not a kind of irony for the empress, and many people suggested that Qin Shi Huang may not want to be a queen because of his mother.
The second theory is that Qin Shi Huang was a career maniac, first destroying the Six Kingdoms, conquering the Xiongnu, Baiyue, Northern Xinjiang, Southwest, Repairing Tombs, Repairing Straight Roads, and the Great Wall, And Parade, and after finishing, he also had to set up many systems, and later generations basically followed the Qin Dynasty system. In the past 50 years of life, he has done so many things, and his mind may not be on a queen. All this was almost done, and Yingzheng began to pursue immortality, which showed that his mind was in his career.
The third theory is that Qin Shi Huang was waiting for a person who could not wait, this person he knew during the Zhao Dynasty, and often took care of Ying Zheng as a proton at that time. Gentleness and kindness gave Yingzheng a lot of warmth, but later the two were forced to separate, and Yingzheng never found her again. In order to wait for her, he left the back seat. However, this statement is also a bit ridiculous, at that time, Yingzheng was only about eight years old, how to look at it is like taking the script of the novel, but it has been widely circulated in history.
Relatively speaking, the first and second statements are more reliable. There are many mysteries in Yin Zheng's body, mainly caused by the lack of historical materials of the Qin Dynasty, and perhaps his mystery will be unveiled with the appearance of more Historical Materials of the Qin Dynasty, and the mystery of why he did not become an empress can be found.
