Reveal the cause of the disappearance of Qin Shihuang's harem

Searching history books, people still can't find records about the queen and Qin Shihuang's harem.

So far, the only record of Qin Shihuang's queen is in the 'History' of the 'Qin Shi Huang' sign. In this book, there is a paragraph that states that in July of the 37th year of the Water Emperor, in 210 BC, Qin Shihuang was seriously ill on the way to make his fifth march. When Qin Shihuang's convoy went to Sa Khau ( Now in Hebei), Qin Shihuang's illness becomes critical and suddenly dies.

The next thing is the story of "Sa Khau's conspiracy" that everyone knows. The mastermind of this plot is Zhao Cao. Zhao is the teacher of Ho Hoi, the young son of Qin Shihuang and also the Chou of the Imperial Command, specializing in the work of horse-drawn wagons for Qin Shihuang. Zhao Cao instigated Hu Huan, dragging the general Lee Li, the three of them into allies, disguising the battlefield, the eldest son, the Prince of Suffice, had to commit suicide, taking Ho Hoi to the throne, establishing the Qin government. Second World

In September of that year, Qin Nhi The held a funeral ceremony for his father, bringing Qin Shi Huang to be buried in Le Son (now the tomb of Qin Shihuang). When burial of Qin Shihuang, Qin Nhi The Ho Hoi ordered him to deal with his father's harem: 'Those in the harem of the Emperor without children should not be released'. Based on this order of Ho Hoi, all those who did not give birth to Qin Shihuang were buried alive according to the once-notorious cruel king. The number of deaths, according to the record of "Historical Records" is very much.

Qin Shi The Hohu had ordered the handling of his father's harem: 'Those in the harem of the Emperor without children should not be released'.

From this record, it is possible to draw some information about Qin Shihuang's harem as follows: Firstly, in Qin Shihuang's harem, the number of female supply bands is very small. Based on the regulation of the Han Dynasty, the next dynasty of the Qin Dynasty was the most in the harem of Qin Shihuang. There must be 10 people whose names were divided into two types: the type of child born and not born. baby Third, those who did not give birth to Qin Shihuang, according to Qin Shi World's orders, had to bury according to Qin Shihuang. Fourth, people who have children are exempted from death, continue to live with their children.

2. History records that Qin Shihuang has more than 20 sons, who have the opportunity to inherit the throne. In the meantime, Qin Shihuang frequently traveled to the world, not often in the city, all jobs were handled along the way. During such an important march, Qin Shihuang's choice of Ho Hoi was not without reason.

Qin Shi Huang once considered choosing Ho Hoi as his successor. This is well documented in history books. After Ho Hoi was crowned emperor, under the help of Trieu Cao and the admirer Ly Tu, decided to remove Mong Diem general and his younger brother, who were very close to Phu Su. Mong Nghi served for many years alongside Qin Shihuang, one of the most trusted gods of Qin Shihuang. Before Mong Nghi died, Ho Hoi sent people to blame: 'The first king intended to be a prince, yet you find ways to obstruct. Now admitting the generals who are guilty of disrespectful people, they deserve to be sad. I am not so sincere, so I told you the death, it is also grateful. You decide yourself. '

Mong Nghi felt unjustly, so before he pleaded with the excuse: 'Now blame the gods for not understanding the first, but lowering the spirit from a young age was fortunate to be able to use it first, never done anything before. I mean, it is said to be the one who understands the meaning of the first. Again blaming the gods for not understanding the power of the prince (Ho Hoi), but for the first time, he merely took the crown, only carrying the crown prince. The love for the prince is more for the prince than for the other daughters, the god knows very much. Tien chose the crown prince, not a day or two but a process of choice from many years. Whoever dares to discourage, dare to have another ploy! Lower god is not a cunning to avoid sin, only hope that the ambassador can consider to lower the spirit can die clearly '.

From the prosecution of Ho Hoi until the argument of Mong Nghi, it can be affirmed that, in the last years of his life, Qin Shihuang intended to establish Ho Hoi as the crown prince. In the words of Meng Yi, it was clear that the Qin Qin Emperor Huang Xue established something to be calculated many years ago, not just a temporary intention. This has important implications in the issue we are discussing here.

Because his mother had died early, Qin Shihuang had more affection for Ho Hoi.

3. Regardless of the historical record or the fact that a small child is more loved than the eldest son, to the extent that Qin Shihuang must cancel the "practice" of establishing the eldest son as the heir to inheritance. There is only one reason in life: Ho Hoi's mother must be a beautiful beauty and extremely favored by Qin Shihuang. However, regarding Ho Hoi's mother, the history does not have any notes.

In ancient Chinese history, especially in the political regime of Qin Han, Wang Hau or Empress was relatively discreet, with little involvement in the main court. However, once the husband passed away, his son became the emperor, they themselves became the empress, they took over power, actively participated in the main court. Especially when the young son was enthroned, the empresses often became the center of the court. The queen's love also became an important political group.

So it is understandable that Ho Hoi's mother is not mentioned in the time when Ho Hooi has not been crowned. However, it will be difficult to explain the history of the book almost without mentioning her after Ho Hoi. was crowned. The fact is that right after Ho Hoi took the throne, the book still does not have any record of the mother of Qin Nhi The.

Here, it should be added that Ho Hoi trusted Trieu Cao very much. When the gods took the name of Ly Tu offering a letter of recommendation to Ho Hoi to kill Trieu Cao. Ho Hoi not only did not hear and protect Trieu, saying: 'I lost my' fairy 'from a young age without knowing anything, not familiar with the main tide. Who do I trust to rely on Trieu Cao? . The word 'fairy' here can refer to Qin Shihuang but can also refer to Hu Hin's biological mother. From this sentence, Ho Hoi's biological mother may have died early, before Qin Shihuang, as well as before the time of Hu Xinh's throne. Because if she were still alive, Ho Hoi's biological mother could become an empress and a support force for her son, not to the extent of 'no one to rely on' like Ho Hoi said.

It was because his biological mother had died early, so Qin Shihuang had more affection for Ho Hoi. And so, after Ho Honh took the throne, the new history does not have any record of this woman. Once the empress is not mentioned, of course, the other descendants, even if they are still alive, cannot have the opportunity to appear in the history books. This is also the reason why other descendants in Qin Shihuang's harem almost disappeared completely from Chinese history books.
