The lord of zhongxing in the qin state, Qin Xiangong

When it comes to the promising kings of the Qin State, everyone thinks of Qin Mugong, Qin Xiaogong, and Qin Shi Huang, but who can think of the founder of the Qin State and the Qin Xiangong?

In 385 BC, Qin Linggong's grandson Qin Chengzi succeeded to the throne. He was only two years old when he succeeded to the throne. In order to win over the courtiers, the mother of the outpring gave the courtiers a lot of money and goods, so that the national strength was empty, and had to increase the tax rate to increase the revenue of the national treasury, which caused strong dissatisfaction among the landlords and self-employed farmers. Duke Xiangong of Qin seized the opportunity to return to China to succeed to the throne and killed Qin Chuzi and Qin Chuzi's mother.

After Qin Xiangong succeeded to the throne, he carried out reforms. Internally, try to appease small and medium-sized landlords and self-employed farmers. Externally, he used troops against Wei for many years and vowed to retake the land of Hexi.
