Chapter 716: Miyue Chapter (Extra) II

And when he pressed his whole body against me, I didn't feel any weight because it was more comfortable for me. Therefore, if Qin wants to help Korea, if there are insufficient troops and food and grass, it will not be able to save Korea. Moreover, to relieve the danger of Korea, thousands of goods will be consumed every day, so what good will it do to me and the Qin State?

Second, to lure and destroy the righteous canal. Yiqu, the country of ancient Xirong, is in the area of present-day Gansu and Ningxia. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they established a powerful county state here, competing with Qin and Wei, and participated in the battle for the Central Plains, becoming a dominant minority power at that time. In 352 BC, Qin sent troops to attack Wei and captured Weixihe County and Shang County in one fell swoop, and then Qin and Yiqu friction broke out again. Qin took advantage of the civil strife in Yiqu, sent troops to attack Yiqu, and pacified the internal strife in Yiqu, and Yiqu surrendered to Qin. Since then, the two sides have been at war and peaceful. So the Empress Dowager Xuan changed the strategy of conquest of Yiqu Rong in the past militarily, and adopted the policy of softness, co-optation, and corrosion, and fornicated with the king of Yiqu to fall into the will of the king of Yiqurong. She wrote to the king of Yiqu to live in Ganquan Palace, let him live for a long time, and entertain him with a generous life. Later King Yiqu had two sons with Empress Dowager Xuan, which made King Yiqu completely lose his vigilance against Qin.

34 years later (272 BC), Empress Dowager Xuan killed the king of Yiqu in Ganquan Palace, and then sent troops to attack Yiqu, Yiqu State died, and the territory was incorporated into Qin State. Regarding this matter, Ma Feibai, a well-known expert in Qin history, believes that the Empress Dowager Xuan, with the status of the queen mother, sacrificed the hue to have an affair with the king of Yiqu, and then designed to kill him, destroying the western disaster of the Qin State in one fell swoop, so that the Qin State can concentrate on the east and no longer have to worry about the future, and her contribution is not inferior to Zhang Yi and Sima Coo's attack on Bashu.

Third, "Warring States Policy: Qin Ce" recorded another affair of Empress Dowager Xuan. When the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan was sixty or seventy years old, she fell in love with Wei Choufu, one of the ministers of the Qin State, and served as a male favorite. Especially before the death of the Empress Dowager Xuan, she proposed to let Wei Choufu be martyred for her. Later, due to Yong Rui's persuasion, this idea was dispelled.

The reason why Empress Dowager Xuan is so romantic, in addition to being a young widow, has something to do with her coming from the state of Chu. Chu culture has romantic characteristics, and it is also related to the social customs of Qin at that time, and of course it is also related to the fact that she holds great power.

Nepotism, the power of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers are all the cronies and families of the Empress Dowager Xuan

It can be seen from the process of Empress Dowager Xuan seizing the throne for her son that Empress Dowager Xuan is not a "weak woman", but a person who is sensitive to politics. At the same time, Empress Dowager Xuan, who had taken power, began to appoint her cronies. The cronies are all the family members of the Empress Dowager Xuan. Wei Ran, the half-brother who had made great efforts to ascend the throne for King Zhaoxiang, was named the Marquis of Sui, and the fief was Sui (now Deng County, Henan), and later Taoyi (Dingtao, Shandong); There is also a half-brother of the Empress Dowager Xuan, Mi Rong, who was named Huayangjun, and the other two sons of the Empress Dowager Xuan also got fiefs. The powerful ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty were all close associates and families of the Empress Dowager Xuan. As a result, the Marquis, Huayangjun, Gaolingjun, and Jingyangjun were powerful in the Qin State and were known as the "Four Nobles" of the Qin State. Wei Ran relied on his special relationship with King Zhao (nephew and uncle relationship) to monopolize power in the Qin State, serving four Qin ministers in his life, and there were many henchmen. However, due to his great power, he "abused power over the princes", "rich in the royal family", and was autocratic, posing a serious threat to the Qin regime. In 266 BC, he was deposed by the King of Qin, replaced by Fan Sui, and finally "broke his body and died of sorrow" in Taoyi.

The reason why this is so is because of the autocratic power of Empress Dowager Xuan and Qin's "four nobles", so that King Zhaoxiang lost the power he should have, and with the strength of King Zhaoxiang and the growth of age, he should regain his power, and the appearance of Fan Sui just solved this problem.

Empress Dowager Xuan died in the second year after losing power, and her nickname was "Xuan"

King Zhaoxiang of Qin expelled Empress Dowager Xuan's half-brother Wei Ran and his henchmen, Empress Dowager Xuan lost power, and in October of the following year (265 BC), Empress Dowager Xuan died and was "buried in Lishan, Zhiyang", nicknamed "Xuan". The so-called nickname refers to the fact that after the death of ancient emperors, princes, ministers, etc., the imperial court gave them a title according to their life and deeds to praise and disparage good and evil. "Xuan" is a kind of beauty, the holy and good Zhou Wen Xuan, Shi but not not Xuan, good to ask Zhou Da Xuan, Shi but not secret Xuan, sincere opinion outside Xuan, Chongguang Li Ri Xuan, righteous Zhou Da Xuan, can Bu Ling De Xuan, Jun Da has virtue Xuan, Li Shi Quartet Xuan, Zhehui Zhao Xuan, good news style Xuan. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty was also a praise nickname given by later generations, because the Han Dynasty had a prosperous situation during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

Zhiyang Lishan is the Qin Dongling. Judging from the records of the "Historical Records", Qin Dongling buried three kings, including King Zhaoxiang, a queen mother, three queens, and a prince. Qin Dongling is located at the western foot of Xili Mountain, Lintong District, Xi'an City.

Archaeological surveys conducted in the 80s of the last century showed that Qin Shihuang's grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, etc., were buried in the Eastern Tombs of Qin. There are four cemeteries, which are huge in scale. Among them, tombs representing different grades have been found, including 3 tombs in the shape of "Asia" and 2 tombs in the shape of "medium" characters. Over the years, a large number of bronze, iron, lacquerware, bamboo slips, pottery, cylinder tiles, plate tiles and other building materials have been unearthed. In recent years, archaeologists have carried out a series of archaeological exploration work on the Qin Dongling Tombs and made many new discoveries. Recently, there has been a new discovery in the No. 4 cemetery of Qin Dongling, and some scholars believe that the "Asia" shaped tomb in the No. 4 cemetery may be the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Xuan.

I have to say that King Qin Zhaoxiang

Mother is more precious than son, and the reason why Mi Bazi can become the Empress Dowager Xuan is inseparable from the relationship with her son King Zhaoxiang. King Zhaoxiang was an outstanding politician and military strategist. The achievements he created added a lot to his mother, the Empress Dowager Xuan.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne at the age of 18, reigned for 56 years, and died at the age of 74. This record was not broken until the appearance of Kangxi (61) and Qianlong (63) in the Qing Dynasty. In the 56 years of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Taoguang cultivated obscurity, accumulated thick and thin, strengthened the centralization of power, adopted long-distance and close attacks, divided the six countries together, severely damaged the military strength of the six countries, built the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, and created the country of Tianfu in the Bashu Han Dynasty. During his reign, Qin's territory continued to expand, laying a solid political, economic, and military foundation for the later Qin kings to unify the six kingdoms. In particular, the Battle of Changping launched against Zhao greatly consumed Zhao's national strength and laid a good foundation for Qin's unification.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin reigned the longest among the previous Qin kings, and of the last seven Qin kings, he ruled longer than the sum of his predecessors Xiaogong, King Huiwen, and King Wu, and also exceeded the sum of the later kings of Xiaowen, Zhuangxiang, and Shihuang.
