King Xiang of Qinzhuang's father was King Xiaowen of Qin, the second son of his grandfather King Zhaoxiang of Qin. He was the monarch of the State of Qin during the Warring States period. He officially reigned for only three days. In 250 A.D., he ordered a general amnesty for sinners, commended the meritorious servants of the previous kings, and gave preferential treatment to clan relatives. He died three days after the ceremony of succession to the throne for his father.
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin was given the title of Prince of An Guojun. He and his wife Lady Huayang have never had children, or under the activities of Lü Buwei, Lady Huayang successfully persuaded An Guojun to serve as a proton in the Zhao Kingdom as a prince, for which An Guojun also carved a jade charm for Lady Huayang as a certificate. Later, he ordered Lü Buwei to serve as yizi's teacher, and also entrusted him to bring a lot of things to yizi. With the help of Lü Buwei, the yizi finally succeeded in returning to the Qin state to inherit the throne.
In the fifty-sixth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, and the crown prince An Guojun, that is, King Xiaowen, was made the monarch of the State of Qin, and Lady Huayang became the queen, and the son naturally became the crown prince. At this time, Zhao Guo sent Yiren's wife and his son Yin Zheng back to Qin. However, An Guojun had been crown prince for a long time and was already old when he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin passed away, he immediately succeeded to the throne, and this year was still known as the fifty-sixth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and was guarded by Emperor An Guojun. In the second year, An Guojun officially changed the year to the first year of King Xiaowen. During his political period, in 250 BC, he ordered a general amnesty for sinners, honoring the merits of the previous kings for their merits, and secondly, giving preferential treatment to the relatives of the clan. Later, regarding his death, the people of the country suspected that Lü Buwei was preparing to let Zi Chu ascend the throne earlier, and bought the people around King Xiaowen of Qin to poison him, and forced by Lü Buwei's forces, no one dared to speak.
King Xiang of Qin zhuang had several sons
King Xiang of Qinzhuang was also known as king of Qinzhuang, his original name was Yiren, later called Zichu, and his father was King Xiaowen of Qin, who was the monarch of the Qin state at the end of the Warring States period. In his early years, he served as a proton of the Zhao state of Handan, and in his later stages, he became the monarch of the Qin state with the help of Lü Buwei.
When he was a hostage, he lived in the Zhao kingdom for many years, and only returned to the Qin state a few years later to become a generation of kings. Although he did not contribute more in his life, his son was still more prominent in comparison. Regarding his son, according to historical records, he had two sons in his lifetime.
The first son was his eldest son, Yingzheng. When it comes to Yingzheng, everyone may have a strange feeling of losing it, but when it comes to his name "Qin Shi Huang", I believe that no one knows. Yingzheng was born to King Xiang of Qinzhuang and Zhao Ji, but there are many arguments that Yingzheng is the child of Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji. Therefore, it also fulfilled the mystery of Yingzheng's life, and this topic is still controversial to this day.
There is no record of his second son being Cheng Yu, the second son of King Xiang of Qinzhuang, and there is no record of his mother. During the reign of King Xiang of Qin, the fief was in Chang'an, so there were individuals called "Chang'an Jun". It is said that later when the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao, Cheng Yu surrendered to the State of Zhao and was enfeoffed by King Xiangxiang of the State of Zhao, and eventually Qin Shi Huang sent his men and horses to attack the State of Zhao, and Cheng Yu was beheaded and executed along with all his subordinates. Regarding his sons and children, they were left to grow up in the Qin kingdom. When Qin II ascended the throne, because Zi Bao was Qin II's subordinate brother and had no direct interest in his struggle for the throne, he was not on Qin II's list of purges, but Zi Bao could often stand up to persuade him.
How did King Xiang of Qin Zhuang die
There doesn't seem to be much about King Xiang of Qinzhuang's life, so there is nothing to say about his achievements, and I think the biggest achievement in his life may be the birth of such an excellent son as Qin Shi Huang. During his reign, he did little, and the most he talked about was the harem.
Therefore, during his three years on the throne, the most he did was to spoil his concubines and drink and have fun. Perhaps because of this, many people say that his death was caused by excessive absurdity. Some historical records say that King Xiang of Qinzhuang died of illness, that is to say, he died of an illness. Secondly, there are many theories about his death. One is that Lü Buwei took advantage of the fact that King Xiang of Qinzhuang was lying in bed, waiting for the opportunity to find someone to feed him the poison, resulting in his death, which probably comes from the records in the Chronicle of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
It is recorded in the book that King Xiang of Qinzhuang was bedridden and had a stubborn illness, so Lü Buwei, the chancellor, went to visit and fed him soup medicine, and finally the king died less than a month later. In this sentence, there is a mystery hidden, why did Lü Buwei die in less than a month after feeding the soup medicine? There must be a different meaning here.
Such a statement is not completely unreasonable, people still have their own arguments on this basis, Lü Buwei so wanted to let him die in addition to this, there is also hope that Zhao Ji will return to his side, and the prince will quickly succeed to the throne. In this way, it is possible to invade the government and the opposition.
In the records of the canonical history, it is possible to die of illness, but it is not known what caused it. However, the cause of death is implied in the book "Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", and presumably it is not empty.
About his mausoleum, commonly known as "Han Sen Tomb", is located in the eastern suburbs of present-day Xi'an. The mausoleum is capped in a dome shape, with a bottom diameter of more than 140 meters and a height of about 22 meters. The total area is more than 30 acres. In 1956, it was listed as a key cultural relics protection unit in Shaanxi Province. Among them, the length of the tomb extending outward by 10 meters is used as a protected area, and the place extending 100 meters is used as a building control zone. Today, the tomb has been somewhat broken, and the tombstone has been completely broken.
