Sharla Cheung, an associate researcher at the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Qin Dynasty, said: "Qin Shihuang 13 years old ascended the throne, and he ascended the throne at the age of 22, with nine years in between, which was also the time when ancient men wanted to get married. After three years on the throne, you are qualified to be a queen, but you haven't been a queen for nine years.
There are many reasons why Qin Shihuang had the opportunity to establish a queen, but the main reason is very complicated. In addition to being suspicious and afraid of the queen's restraint, it is also related to Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality and too many harems.
Extended data:
Legend has it that the reason why Qin Shihuang didn't establish a queen was because his biological mothers Evonne and Lao Ai were filthy in the harem. The young and ignorant Qin Shihuang didn't know. He listened to his mother and asked her to move to the Lama Temple. In the Lama Temple, Evonne committed adultery with Lao Ai and gave birth to two baby boys.
One day, Lao Ai and the minister were drinking, and they had an argument after getting drunk. Lao Ai blurted out: "I am the fake father of the King of Qin. Do you dare to argue with me? " Unwilling to be humiliated, the minister told Qin Shihuang about it.
When Qin Shihuang heard the news, he secretly sent someone to investigate. According to the investigation, Lao Ai was not a eunuch, but she did commit adultery with the Queen Mother and had two sons.
Lao Ai learned this news, and in desperation, forged letters to mobilize the Guards to attack Xianyang Palace. Qin Shihuang ordered the Guards to meet the enemy. Lao Ai's soldiers were quickly defeated and Lao Ai was captured. Qin Shihuang ordered him to divide the cars and destroy the three clans.
Then he sent troops to search the Lama Temple and killed two illegitimate children. Evonne was also detained. A few years later, Evonne died. It is precisely because of his hatred for his mother that Qin Shihuang had a psychological shadow of hating women, so he never canonized the queen in his life.
