As the Son of Heaven, why didn t Qin Shi Huang set up a queen?

Qin Shi Huang is the Son of Heaven, and I think there are two factors in his failure to make an empress: family factors and personal pursuits. So there was no queen.

It may also have the greatest impact on him because of the huge psychological trauma and psychological distortion caused to him by his mother's behavior. In history, Qin Shi Huang's mother Zhao Ji misbehaved, first as a concubine of the speculative businessman Lü Buwei, two months pregnant (most people think that she was pregnant with the later Qin Shi Huang), and then Lü Buwei dedicated to the grandson of the king of Qin, Chu, Zi Chu succeeded to the throne and was called King Zhuangxiang, after the death of King Zhuangxiang, as the queen mother, she still often revisited the old relationship with Lü Buwei.

Qin Shi Huang's favorite Ah Fang girl died, although he had countless beauties in the harem, but there was no woman he really liked, so he was unwilling to go to the queen.

I think that in fact, Qin Shi Huang did not establish a queen because of psychological factors, probably because of the influence of his mother when he was a child.

Maybe his vision is relatively high, and he thinks that no woman can be qualified for the position of queen, so he didn't stand up.

Maybe he hasn't met someone worthy of being a queen, maybe he doesn't think there's a need to be a queen, he can take care of the harem alone.

We won't know this kind of thing, he is Qin Shi Huang, his mind must be beyond the imagination of us ordinary people, he has never set up a queen, and only he himself knows.

The queen is not an ordinary woman, a good family background is beautiful, and she must be smart and wise to be the mother of the country.

Analysis of the reasons why Qin Shi Huang did not appoint an empress:

1. Mother's influence.

Speaking of Qin Shi Huang's mother, everyone knows more or less about her indiscretions, she called Lunpi was originally Lü Buwei's concubine, so that Qin Shi Huang's identity has always been a mystery. Qin Shi Huang's attitude towards his mother, or his attitude towards marriage, was greatly influenced by his mother, and this is probably the most important factor in Qin Shi Huang's disadvantage.

2. Qin Shi Huang's requirements were too high.

Qin Shi Huang thinks that his merits far surpass that of Brother Tong's "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", and in his eyes, the queen's requirements will naturally be high, so it is likely that Qin Shi Huang will not look down on any woman, the standard is too high, and no one can sit in his position. In addition, when Qin Shi Huang was the king of Qin, he was at the end of the Warring States period, and the complex relationship network of various countries is also very likely to lead to Qin Shi Huang having no way to establish an empress and a chagrin or a wife, because the national interests come first.

3. The influence of childhood.

Qin Shi Huang was born in the Zhao State, can it be said that he was born in danger, and he may even lose his life at any time. It is precisely because of the influence of his life experience and surrounding environment that Qin Shi Huang has been suspicious since he was a child, let alone his own backyard, so everyone in front of Qin Shi Huang is "equal", and no one will interfere with himself.

4. Qin Shi Huang's pursuit.

After Qin Shi Huang ascended to the throne of Qin, he thought about how to govern, and after he took power, he thought about how to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and after destroying the Six Kingdoms to unify the country, Qin Shi Huang began to yearn for immortality again.

Qin Shi Huang's pursuit of immortality, this is his dream, so all kinds of medicine methods have been used, but they have not been realized, this series of things has filled Qin Shi Huang's psychological vacancy, so the queen does not need it.

Qin Shi Huang did not have an empress.

The name "Empress" was established during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, but he himself did not establish an empress. The reason for this may be because of the disillusionment of historical materials, or perhaps because he did it on purpose. At the beginning, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the wives of the Son of Heaven were called "Hou", and they were seriously written into the "Book of Rites".

During the Warring States Period, the wives of those princes were also given this title, such as Wu Mengyao, the harem of King Wuling of Zhao, as Empress Hui; In the process of King Qin Zhaoxiang's ascension to the throne of King Qin, Empress Huiwen (the wife of King Qin Huiwen), Empress Dowager Xuan (the concubine of King Qin Huiwen), and Queen Mourning Wu (the wife of King Qin Wu) once broke out into fierce palace fights.

As a groundbreaking emperor, Qin Shi Huang once carried out the work of establishing rules and regulations in all aspects. Among them, including the various titles of the harem, that is to say, the titles of queen and empress dowager, which have been used for 2,000 years, were established during the Qin Dynasty.

However, we don't know anything about Ying Zheng's harem. We only know that in the process of conquering the Six Kingdoms, he was keen to collect beauties from all over the world, and had more than 20 sons, but there is no record of who the queen was when he was the king of Qin and who the empress was when he was the emperor.

There are two possibilities for not being a queen:

1. Loss of data.

The situation of the harem before the Qin Dynasty has not been recorded, so the first empress recorded in his "Historical Records" was Liu Bang's Empress Lu. However, this kind of possibility is not very likely, and this kind of important information, even if it is passed on orally, can be worn to Sima Qian's era.

2. Qin Shi Huang deliberately did not establish a queen.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the harem has often had a significant impact on the regime of a country. During the Warring States Period, there were often harem political incidents in the Qin State, except for the Empress Dowager Xuan, the most unforgettable thing for Ying Zheng himself was the entanglement between his mother Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, and even had a huge impact on Ying Zheng's throne.
