How many years did Qin Shihuang reign?

Qin Shihuang reigned for 36 years, including 25 years, 1 1 year.

Ying Zheng, the first Qin Emperor (259 BC-2 BC10), was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, because his surname was Zhao. China is a famous politician, reformer and strategist in history. He was the first founding emperor in the Qin Dynasty to unify China. He is the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang. He became emperor at the age of thirteen, and reigned for thirty-six years at the age of thirty-nine.

Qin Shihuang established the emperor system, and the central government implemented three officials and nine officials. The local government abolished the enfeoffment system and replaced it with the county system, unified writing and weights and measures, attacked the Xiongnu in the north and conquered the Great Wall of Wan Li in the south.

It pushed China into the era of unification, created a new situation of establishing autocratic centralization, had a far-reaching impact on China and world history, and laid the basic pattern of China's political system for more than 2,000 years. Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, praised him as "an emperor through the ages".

Extended data

During the reign of Ying Zheng, the corvee was heavy and the punishment was harsh. In addition to paying two-thirds of the harvest as taxes, the people have to bear heavy corvee and military service. He recruited more than 700,000 people and built the luxurious Epang Palace and the tomb of Mount Li in the south of Weishui.

He also recruited farmers to connect the Great Wall in the northern part of Qin, Zhao and Yan countries, extending eastward and westward, starting from Lintao (now Minxian County, Gansu Province) in the west and Liaodong (now northwest of Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province) in the east to build the city defense. This is the Great Wall of Wan Li.

It is a great project in ancient China and the crystallization of the sweat and wisdom of the working people in ancient China. At that time, there were more than 654.38+0.5 million conscripts and corvees, and the number of soldiers was insufficient. Even women are taken to transport their salaries. Many people were tortured to death.

In order to prevent the people from resisting, he ordered the collection and destruction of folk weapons, and also stipulated that one person should be sentenced to death and his relatives should be executed, which was called "clan punishment"; A family breaks the law and neighbors are guilty of the same crime. This is called "sitting together". People can be accused of breaking the law at any time, be sentenced to hard labor, or be beheaded, cut off their noses, executed, and criminals who are escorted to the government abound.

He was overjoyed and wasted his time. During his reign of 12 years, he made five large-scale cruises, carving stones and praising virtues along the way to show his immortal achievements. In order to live forever, alchemist Xu Fu led thousands of children and men to seek immortality in the East China Sea. It has consumed huge financial and human resources and deepened people's suffering.

As soon as the Qin Dynasty was established, class contradictions began to intensify. Due to the tyranny of Ying Zheng, a small-scale peasant uprising appeared. In 2 10 BC, Ying Zheng made his last cruise, accompanied by Prime Minister Reese, CZ (eunuch in charge of the emperor's official documents) Zhao Gao and his favorite youngest son Hu Hai. He crossed the Qiantang River and arrived in Wuzhong, Huiji County.

On the way back, he fell ill in Pingyuan Jin (now southeast of Pingyuan County, Shandong Province). When I arrived at the sand dune (now Guangzong County, Hebei Province), my illness turned to safety. Knowing that he was dying, he quickly ordered Reese and Zhao Gao to draft letters and give them to his eldest son, Fu Su, urging Fu Su to rush back to Xianyang immediately to preside over the funeral. When Reese drafted the imperial edict and submitted it to Ying Zheng for review, Ying Zheng was already dead.

Fu Su was expelled from the capital by Qin Shihuang for discouraging Ying Zheng from entering Confucianism, and was sent to Meng Tian Army in Shang Jun as a supervisor. Zhao Gao has always held a grudge against the Meng Tian family. He was worried about Fu Su's succession and Meng Huo's reuse, so he seized the testamentary edict and conspired with Hu Hai to usurp the throne.

He coerced and forced Reese to collude with them, forged a testament, accused Fu Su of not being able to make meritorious service outside, but resented his father and ordered him and Meng Tian to commit suicide. Meng Tian suspected and refused to commit suicide. Fu Su was honest and believed that the imperial edict was true, so he committed suicide and died.

Zhao Gao didn't send out obituary. He put Ying Zheng's body in the car, closed the door and drew the curtain on the car, so that officials thought that Qin Shihuang was still alive and played outside the car every day. While leading the brigade to drive the corpse truck back to Xianyang.

Due to the hot weather, the body rotted and stinked. Zhao Gao sent people to kill abalone and ordered each car to be loaded with abalone, so as to confuse the smell of corpse. Then he sent out obituary and made Hu Hai emperor. Qin Shihuang is the floorboard of Ying Zheng, the first emperor in history.

Since ancient times, the evaluation of Qin Shihuang has been mixed. However, throughout Qin Shihuang's life, he has played a great role in promoting the development of China's history, and he is indeed an accomplished emperor in the history of China, and his achievements cannot be lost.
