In 306 BC, King Wu of Qin died of lifting a ding. Because King Wu of Qin was childless, his younger brothers competed for the throne. The Qin court was in chaos.
King Wuling of Zhao sent Zhao Gu, the county minister of Dai County, to send Gongzi Ji, who was a hostage in the State of Yan, back to the State of Qin. With the help of Empress Xuan's half-brother Wei Ran, Gongzi Ji succeeded to the throne as King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
Wei Ran then quelled the turmoil within the royal family for the throne, killed Empress Huiwen and her sons Zhuang and Gongzi Yong, expelled Empress Dowager Wu to the State of Wei, and eliminated the princes who were at odds with King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
Because King Zhaoxiang of Qin was young, Empress Xuan took the throne as empress dowager, and Wei Ran assisted him.
Empress Xuan (?– 265 BC), also known as Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin. During the Warring States period, she was the empress dowager of king Qin, the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin, and the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.
At the beginning of the reign of #King Xiang of Qin, Empress Xuan took the throne as empress dowager, and during her reign, she attacked the State of Yiqu, annihilated the western plague of the Qin State in one fell swoop, and laid the foundation for the stability of Great Qin.
With his courage and wisdom, Qi Bazi eventually returned to the Qin state with the help of Zhai Li, the king of Yiqu, and used the Yiqu army to quell the internal unrest in Qin.
The eighth son of Qi assisted his son to ascend the throne, and his son Yin Ji ascended the throne as king, and was known as King Zhaoxiang of Qin. Qi Bazi became the first empress dowager in history, known in history as Empress Xuan, and came to the court to listen to the government with the honor of empress dowager.
For the sake of the stability of her son Jiangshan, Qi Bazi ruthlessly booby-trapped and killed the Yiqu King, who loved him, and at the same time killed his own children, and she gave birth to two children for the Yiqu King.
Killing the king and poisoning the son, such a determination, is really not something that ordinary people can do, only the eight sons can do it, so only the eight sons become the empress.
Empress Xuan's appointment of her younger brothers Wei Ran and Mi Rong during her reign greatly limited the power of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. After the Wei state of Fan Ju fled to the State of Qin, he was highly valued by King Zhaoxiang of Qin. Fan Ju suggested to King Zhaoxiang of Qin to take back his power so as not to cause the scourge of usurping the kingdom.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin, taking Fan Ju's advice, deposed Empress Xuan, the eighth son of Qi, and expelled Wei Ran, Mi Rong, and others from the country.
Empress Xuan ruled for 41 years, she created a precedent for female governance, and with the wisdom of the world, she maneuvered among the heroes, cruised between the nations, and controlled the situation.
Under her iron-fisted regime, the Qin state gradually moved from a barbaric and weak country to a powerful and politically clear Great Qin Empire.
No matter how powerful Shebako is, she still can't get rid of the role that a woman should have--mother.
Everything she did was for her son, to ensure his safety and the country.
Poor parents in the world, parents under the heavens, why not?
Her supreme and unparalleled maternal love not only guaranteed the smooth handover of power for King Xiang of Qin, but also eliminated the great troubles in the western part of the Qin state for him, and then made a good sacrifice for the strength of the Qin state.
After that, the Qin state, without worries, developed to the east, thus achieving the brilliant Great Qin Empire.
For King Xiang of Qin, Qi Bazi was a qualified mother and empress dowager;
For the Qin state, Qi Bazi was a naturally excellent politician.
The brilliant and ups and downs of his life were selflessly dedicated to the Qin state and made outstanding contributions to the politics of the Qin Dynasty.
"Serving Qin in the world is the bound achievement of the Qin Kingdom, and you and I may not see it in our lifetimes, but we should ask our children and grandchildren to do it for us."
Qi Bazi, with the strategic vision of a politician, saw her history a hundred years later. Sacrificing himself created a miracle for the future of the Great Qin Empire.
Her descendants, Yingzheng, really achieved the unification of the six kingdoms. The first empress dowager in Chinese history, with her previous life' achievements, finally achieved the first iron-fisted political figure to complete the unification of China, and the first monarch to be called emperor- Qin Shi Huang.
#芈八子 #
Qi Bazi, Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, will forever be recorded in the annals of history. But her methods are not comparable to ordinary people.
For the sake of King Qin Xiang, he didn't even drag mud and water, said that he would break it, and even ruthlessly ended his two children with king Yiqu.
What do you think about that?
