Great Qin: The Xuanwu Gate Succession Method

I haven't read it yet, but could you tell me what the author was thinking? The Xuanwu Gate Succession Law? Applied to Qin Shi Huang? What kind of logic is that? Let me put it this way, for emperors like Qin Shi Huang and Li Shimin, as long as they didn't die, no law would work. Or rather, the Xuanwu Gate Succession Law is completely useless against powerful, founding emperors!

Ying Zheng grew up in a very uneasy environment. At that time, the Battle of Changping had just ended, and Bai Qi had massacred 400,000 Zhao soldiers, basically wiping out all the able-bodied men in Zhao, which was extremely unjust. It's certain that the people of Zhao harbored deep hatred for the people of Qin. As the son of a hostage, he was surrounded by hostility.

I haven't read the book yet, but after reading the synopsis, I think it's impossible.

You mean, you are Qin Shi Huang's eldest son, supported by the power of Chu, with no one of equal strength to challenge your throne, and the emperor treating you lukewarmly, leaving you and the imperial generals to lead large armies to guard the borders? Now you're going to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident right under the noses of the Wang family, the Meng family, Li Si, and others?

Do you think Liu Bang's siege of Baideng came about? By the time Qin Shi Huang died, the Xiongnu had grown to a size far larger than when Meng Tian attacked them. By the time Modu Chanyu died, the Xiongnu Empire had expanded to a size comparable to the Qin Dynasty. By the time of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Empire was comparable to two Chinas at that time. Vast territory and sparse population did not mean they were weak!

Get to the point. I've read almost all of it now, and it's mostly just empty talk; there's nothing concrete. The most basic thing in writing historical articles these days is to be practical. You need to see the grassroots level. You need to see the changes.

Qin Taizu - Ying Zheng Martial Arts: Building upon the legacy of six generations, he ended the war between the seven kingdoms, established the first unified dynasty, and became the first emperor. Civil administration: Standardizing cart tracks, unifying written language, standardizing weights and measures, and establishing the prefecture-county system, etc. Emperor Taizong of Qin - Fusu

He's written several books already, yet his writing is still so simplistic and amateurish. 😰

Was it the "Suppressing the Rebellion" or the "Xuanwu Gate Incident"?

Having read novels for over a decade, I personally think this book is quite well-written. The outline is relatively novel. Some parts might feel a bit disjointed, perhaps because I'm a seasoned reader and my brain automatically filled in the gaps. I feel the author must have had their own ideas for writing a Qin Dynasty story.
