Let us read how he rose from being the son of a hostage in Zhao to become the crown prince of Qin, supreme above all. Why did he inherit the throne at just thirteen? He killed his brother, imprisoned his mother, and dismissed his uncle and regent.
He held a Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, faced repeated assassination attempts, sought immortality and spread his teachings, made six tours of the empire, burned books and buried scholars alive, and left the empire to his son Huhai.
He spent his life laying the foundations of China, yet earned the hatred and murderous schemes of countless heroes and chivalrous warriors.
