210 BCE Qin Shi Huang Di died on a journey and he was looking for the elixir of immortality.In later years Huang di became obsessed and infatuated with the idea of eternal life. Huang Di had a fear of assassination. Because of his fear of assassination legend says that he never slept in the same room of his palace two nights in a row and he had his tomb(the terracotta warriors) started early on in his reign.The cause of his death was a potion called mercury and that made the emperor become crazier and stupider.
Li Si tried to hide the fact that Qin Shi huang was dead and brought the emperor`s body back to the capital with dead fish. Along with Zhao Gao(a politician) Li Si wanted to put Hu Hai on the throne(the emperor`s second son. Hu hai was weak so the people of China started to revolt and grew stronger. Hu Hai was not nearly as stronger as Qin Shi Huang Di.
The Qin dynasty was overthrown in 206 BCE in the capital in Xianyang. The imperial house was massacred and the people followed emperor Gaozu lead the leader of the next dynasty.
Question- How did the Qin dynasty rise to power?
What was the legacy left on the Qin dynasty?
