In the thirty-second year of Qin Shihuang (2 15 BC), he asked Yan people Lu Sheng to worship the door and swear to be an immortal. Later, he asked Han Tong, Hougong and Shi Sheng to ask for immortal medicine.

There are also Confucian scholars who advise on the behavior of Qin Shihuang. Dr. Qi Renchun suggested that the first emperor should still implement the policy of enfeoffment of imperial clan children as princes, and the first emperor handed it over to his lieutenants for discussion. Prime Minister Reese objected. Li Si's memorial prompted Qin Shihuang to order the burning of books and ban them, stipulating that all history books in the Qin Dynasty should be burned.

2. Great construction and economic collapse

Shortly after the reunification of the Qin Dynasty, large-scale construction projects were frequent. Although some of these projects, such as the Great Wall Lingqu, benefit the country and the people, the productivity has been greatly damaged. In the thirty-first year of Qin Shihuang, a stone of rice sold for 1.6 thousand, and the people were miserable. So it's not surprising that Qin Ershi is dead.

Military service is too heavy, and people are crazy about war.

In the ten years after the reunification of Qin, Qin Shihuang maintained a huge army. It is estimated that at that time, the population of the whole country was about10 million, and there were more than 2 million soldiers, accounting for more than one third of men in their prime. Soldiers divorced from agricultural production and depended on farmers to feed them, which led to the serious situation that men worked hard and didn't have enough food, and women didn't have enough clothes and clothes to perform spinning, which greatly shook the ruling foundation of Qin State.

Qin Shihuang's Early Experience

Qin Shihuang was born in the first month of the forty-eighth year of King Qin Zhao (259 BC). His birthplace was in Zhu Jiaxiang, east of Zhongjie and southwest of Congtai, which was the site of Wen Ming Temple in Kuocheng (Dabei City) of Handan at that time. He was a neutron of the King of Qin Zhuang, the 35th grandson of Hubei, an important minister in Shang Dynasty, and was named Zhao.

In 247 BC, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang died, and Ying Zheng, who was 13 years old, was made King of Qin. At that time, Lv Buwei was the prime minister of Qin, and he was good at taking power. When the King of Qin ascended the throne, he was young, and Lv Buwei was revered as Guanzhong, and the affairs of state were all controlled by Lv Buwei. In the first 239 years, the king of Qin was 2 1 year old and was about to take power, but at this time, the court of Qin State was engaged in a fierce political struggle.

At first, Lv Buwei not only controlled the imperial court, but also had an affair with the Empress Dowager (Evonne). Later, when the king of Qin was old, he was afraid of being discovered by him, wanted to leave the Queen Mother, and was afraid of resentment from the Queen Mother, so he put his favorite pupil, Lao Ai, on a corrupt fake torture device and only pulled out his beard and eyebrows to give it to the Queen Mother for her lewd enjoyment. ?
