Zi Ying, who ascended the throne in August 207 AD, was not called emperor, but called King of Qin, and was killed in September of the same year, reigning for 46 days.
After Zhao Gao killed Qin II, he wanted to immediately compromise with various anti-Qin forces, not to be called emperor, and to establish himself as king, but he was afraid that the minister of culture and martial arts would not be satisfied, so he came up with a postponement plan and asked the son of one of Qin's brothers to come out and become the king of Qin. He said to the ministers: "The princes of the Six Kingdoms have become independent, and the territory of the Qin State is also small, so it is no longer possible to be an empty emperor, but it is still appropriate to call it a king." ”
Ziying knew that Zhao Gao's ambition to establish the sect on his own had already existed, and this move was just a cover-up, so he couldn't afford to be ill and lured Zhao Gao to the palace to invite him. As soon as Zhao Gao entered the Fasting Palace, Ziying assassinated Zhao Gao and accused him of the three tribes.
Zhao Gao did not get his wish, and his son became emperor. It did not develop as smoothly as he thought, and Zhao Gao did not become an emperor in the end, but instead let his son become an emperor, that is, Qin III. Zi Ying is not easy to control, after he sits in this position, the first thing to do is to get rid of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao easily killed Hu Hai, so why didn't he kill the child? It is very rare to kill an emperor, and an incompetent emperor either steps down or commits suicide.
After Ziying became emperor, he wanted to get rid of Zhao Gao, mainly to protect himself and seize power. As long as he is not a confused person, he knows why Hu Pai was killed, and he should not have been with Zhao Gang for a long time, and the relationship must be much better than the relationship between Ziying and Zhao Gao. Hu Hai tolerated Zhao Gao everywhere, followed him in everything, and finally lost his life. Ziying knew very well that the people of his family were quickly killed by Zhao Gao, and since he had become the emperor, he would definitely not let Zhao Gao go.
In October of that year, Liu Bangbing entered Xianyang, and his son and child held the emperor's great seal, indicating surrender, and the Qin dynasty collapsed with it.
In fact, Zi Ying did not become emperor, but only served as the king of Qin for 46 days. Later, Xiang Yu entered Xianyang and set fire to the Afang Palace, and the child was also killed by Xiang Yu.
The great empire that unified the Qin Dynasty collapsed in this way when the government forced the people to oppose it.
