I have been the son of the emperor for 46 days. Is he the son of Qin Shihuang?

Let me tell you the answer first. Ziying is not the son of Qin Shihuang. Next, analyze who Ziying is.

In 221 BC, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, inherited the throne with the help of Zhao Gao and Li Si. In order to stabilize his throne, Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, began a massacre of his brothers and sisters. He killed more than 20 brothers and sisters and forced Fusu to death.

You must know that under the influence of the patriarchal legal system of the Qin Dynasty, the status of women at that time was not high, and they had no ability to pose any threat to the rule of Qin II, but Qin II Hu Hai still did not let anyone go.

But under such a large-scale killing, Ziying actually survived. Why did Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, let Zi Ying go when he was so ruthless and decisive in his behavior? The only reason is that Ziying will not pose a threat to his throne, so Ziying absolutely cannot be the son of Qin Shihuang, or even the son of Prince Fusu.

So who is Ziying? Let’s first look at Ziying’s succession process after Qin II was killed. It is recorded in “Historical Records. , He summoned the younger brother of the First Emperor and awarded him the seal." Zhao Gao, who killed Qin II, knew that no one would agree with him as emperor, so he established Ziying to inherit the throne, but his move was not criticized. The opposition of the officials showed that Ziying had to wait until the Qin people approved his succession to the throne, which also showed that Ziying was definitely of royal blood.

According to the "Historical Records? Biography of Li Si": "Zi Ying came to the throne. When he suffered from it, he complained of illness and refused to listen. He talked to the eunuch Han about his son murdering Gao." After Zi Ying succeeded to the throne, he knew Zhao Gao's assistance in his succession was just a stop-gap measure, and he would be killed sooner or later, so Ziying planned to get rid of Zhao Gao, and the person who planned this matter with him was Ziying's son. Such an important matter must not be planned with a childish child, which shows that even if his son is not 18 years old, he at least has the physical strength and courage of an adult.

In this case, Ziying should be close to 40 years old. Qin Shihuang was 50 years old when he died, Fu Su was about 30 years old when he died, and Hu Hai was 24 years old when he died. Their deaths occurred close to each other, so from an age point of view, it is impossible for Ziying to be the son of Qin Shihuang, let alone He is Fusu's son, but he is not the right age.

So, Ziying is probably actually the "Naizhao Shihuang's younger brother" mentioned in "Historical Records? Biography of Li Si", that is, the younger brother of Qin Shihuang's same clan, that is, the son of Prince Fusu and Qin II Hu Hai Clan uncle. This is also the reason why Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, killed all his brothers and sisters, but Ziying was fine.

There is also a possibility that Ziying is actually the son of Qin Shi Huang's younger brother Cheng Xi, but Cheng Xi didn't get along very well with Qin Shi Huang's brothers. When Qin Shi Huang sent him to attack Zhao, he actually openly betrayed Qin. The country surrendered to Zhao. Many people infer that although Cheng Yu fled to the State of Zhao and had no news, his family members are likely to remain in the State of Qin.

If Ziying is really the son of Cheng Xi, then it is normal that he is not among the purges of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin. However, it is also doubtful whether he can be supported by the officials as the son of a rebel.

So, based on the above, Ziying will definitely not be the son of Qin Shihuang. He should be the younger brother of Qin Shihuang's same clan.
