Because there is more evidence that the owner of this ancient tomb is a woman. What is even more incredible is that this woman is closely related to Qin Shihuang. So, who is this woman?
Here's the thing: According to the color of clothes when the Terracotta Warriors were unearthed, and the design of bun and vehicle equipment, some architects thought that this was more in line with the style of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Therefore, it is inferred that the owner of the tomb of Terracotta Warriors and Horses should be Mi Yue, the empress of Qin Guoxuan. Then who's Mi Yue? What is the relationship with Qin Shihuang?
Mi Yue was born in Chu, and she was an unmarried princess. She came to the state of Qin as the dowry of her first concubine, and later became the concubine of King Huiwen of Qin.
Although Mi Yue gave birth to a prince to win Xiaomi, it failed to improve her status, and after Xiaomi was born, her sister relationship with Queen Miwa became worse and worse.
Therefore, after the death of King Huiwen, Mi Zhu ascended the throne as the son of Emperor Won, and took the opportunity to send his son to Yan as a hostage.
It is reasonable to say that there is no chance to turn over.
However, unexpected things happened, which brought a turn for Win Ji.
It turns out that after King Huiwen's death, Uncle Mi's son won the upper position, known as Qin Wuwang in history. Surprisingly, Qin Wuwang's life was short, and he died only three years after he took office.
When the emperor dies, someone must succeed him to the throne. But Qin Wuwang died at the age of 23 and had not given birth to a little prince. The heir to the throne can only choose among his other brothers.
At that time, the younger brother, Gongzi Zhuang, had the highest voice, while Chiyue's son, Win Ji, was still taken hostage in Yan State and had no chance to participate in the competition.
I am about to miss this great opportunity, and it is helpless to leave it to others.
But Mi Yue is not an ordinary woman. She has begun to make plans.
When King Huiwen was in power, Chi Yue not only placed many relatives in the State of Qin, but also helped them become court ministers.
In today's words, she has secretly established a strong group of relatives and friends.
More importantly, Mi Yue's two brothers, Wei Ran and Mi Fei, are also very powerful officials of the State of Qin.
Therefore, with the strong support of many officials, the battle for the throne was finally won by the winner Ji, who became the king of Qin in history.
When her son became emperor, Mi Yue naturally became the Empress Dowager, and she was known as the Empress of the Qin Dynasty in history.
What did Mi Yue do after she became the Queen Mother?
As a queen mother, women have reached the ceiling of life in the eyes of others, so just enjoy it.
It happened that Mi Yue was not a quiet woman. How can she spend the rest of her life contentedly and peacefully?
When she was young, she was smart and aggressive. She liked to dance with knives and guns, ride horses and shoot arrows, and even hit birds with slingshots.
She also used the love of her father, King Chu, to slander her queen, who was a famous overbearing girl in the palace.
But the king of Chu likes this daughter very much, and even wants to dress up as a woman, follow Qu Yuan, a famous doctor in Chu, learn Wang Yu's medical skills, and become a regent when he grows up to help himself or the future monarch.
Unexpectedly, Qu Yuan refused to educate Mi Yue because she was a girl, which made Mi Yue feel very humiliated because her ideal was like her father.
I thought this wish would never come true in my life. I didn't expect my son to win the title of emperor, so I won't miss this great opportunity to display my talents.
Of course, there are also objective reasons. Ji was only 18 years old when he ascended the throne and spent many years in Yan state. He is not familiar with the government affairs of Qin, and he has no idea how to govern the country. Therefore, he can only entrust power to his mother Xuan Miyue, and his uncle Wei Ran helps him to take power.
At that time, Qin was in danger. There are all kinds of sons competing with the winning Xiaomi, and several countries are stationed on the border outside, and they are ready to unite to destroy Qin. This is a concern at home and abroad.
How to solve these crises became the primary task of the imperial court. Mi Yue is a smart and enterprising woman, who has fully demonstrated her enterprising personality.
For the sons who resisted the imperial court, they were given a chance to turn over a new leaf. When they continued to fight against the current situation, Mi Yue decisively sent troops to catch the gang and punished them, which convinced the court officials that they had nothing to say.
On the other hand, adopting the policy of appeasement will give some benefits to the countries that covet Qin. Some for gold and silver jewelry, and some for small cities.
In this way, although Qin suffered some losses, compared with other countries uniting to carve up the territory of Qin, this loss is really too insignificant.
The beneficiary countries are really soft on people and things, withdrawing troops from the border and eliminating the foreign invasion of Qin.
Not only that, Mi Yue also killed Mi Zhu and her son, Gongzizhuang, and expelled King Wu to Wei.
Completely eliminated the people who were not good to his son and won Xiaomi.
I have to say that Mi Yue is a woman,
But doing things is as resolute as men, without women's indecision.
As a woman, Mi Yue knows the advantages of gender. In the matter of destroying Yiqu, Mi Yue relied on her to show the charm of women.
Yiqu is a national army that has been at war with Qin for a long time. How to destroy it has become a problem left over from history.
Mi Yue first used his beauty to seduce King Yiqu at a banquet, and then had an affair with him and gave birth to two sons, winning the absolute trust of King Yiqu.
Then he lured King Itraconazole to the State of Qin, waited for an opportunity to kill him and his two sons in Ganquan Palace, and took the opportunity to send troops to destroy Itraconazole in one fell swoop.
The poor and heroic King Yiqu did not die in battle, but became a slut under the pomegranate skirt. From then on, Qin lost another foreign invasion, but also opened up territory, which was really run.
As the first empress dowager in the history of China, Mi Yue was the most powerful woman in that period. She was in charge of Qin state for 4 1 year, and she did something for Qin state.
Look at the changes in the situation over the past 40 years.
Let's take a look at the outside situation. Chu in the south was completely weakened and never recovered. The collapse of the powerful state of Qi in the east and the blow to Zhao in the north blocked the road of reform again and again.
The policy of attacking Korea and Wei further expanded the territory of Qin State.
For Neiqiyue, he firmly supported Shang Yang's political reform and strengthened army building, which made Qin the most powerful country economically and militarily at that time, and laid a solid foundation for Qin Shihuang, the great-grandson who won the millet in the future, to unify the world.
In 4 1 year, Mi Yue had supreme status and power. According to the practice at that time, you should build a grave for yourself before you die.
According to her own idea, Mi Yue built thousands of terracotta warriors and horses of Chu for her mother's family, guarding her tomb, which is a kind of nostalgia for her hometown of Chu, and it is completely reasonable.
From this point of view, the tomb owner guarded by thousands of troops really has a close relationship with Qin Shihuang. Because Qin Shihuang was the great-grandson of Yuji,
Mi Yue is the great-great grandmother of Qin Shihuang.
