The map of China in China during the Warring States Period when Qin Zhaoxiang was king is as follows:

King Qin Zhaoxiang (325 BC-251 BC) was born in Ji and Xianyang (now Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). During the Warring States Period, the monarch of the State of Qin (reigned from 36 BC to 251 BC), the son of King Qin Hui and the half-brother of Qin Wuwang, was one of the longest reigning monarchs in the history of China.

I was a hostage in Yan State in my early years. Qin Wuwang died and returned to China to seize the throne for King Zhao of Qin. In the early days of the accession to the throne, Empress Xuan came to power, and consort Wei Ran handled the common affairs and appointed Bai Qi as the general. He defeated Sanjin, Qi and Chu successively, and captured Hedong County and Nanyang County of Wei, Qianzhong County and Yingdu of Chu (now Jiangling City, Hubei Province).

Listen to Fan Ju's words, seize the authority of Empress Xuan and Wei Ran, and formally lead the government. Taking Fan Ju as the prime minister and Leitian as the commander in chief, Wen implements the strategy of "making friends far away and attacking near". Launch the battle of Changping and win the Zhao army. Luoyi, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, was captured, and Zhou Nanwang was moved to Xianyang, ending the 8-year rule of the Zhou Dynasty and laying the foundation for the victory of the Qin unified war.

however, after years of fighting, people's livelihood was depressed, which was jointly suppressed by the eastern vassal States, and all previous achievements were discarded.

In the fifty-sixth year (251 BC), Qin Zhaoxiang died at the age of seventy-five, with posthumous title as his assistant.

Extended information

The reign time of King Zhao of Qin is the longest among the kings of Qin Dynasty. Among the last six or seven kings of Qin Dynasty, his reign time exceeded the sum of his predecessors, King Xiao Wen and King Wu, and also exceeded the sum of the later kings Xiao Wen and Zhuang Xiang.

He has made outstanding contributions in all aspects of politics and military affairs, especially in military affairs. Even compared with Wang Zheng of Qin, he made great contributions to the development of Qin, such as Fan Ju and Bai Qi. The era of Zhaowang was the most important decisive time in the development of Qin. Jian Bozan said that in the last years of King Zhao, "Qin has won decisive victory in the struggle against the six countries" is a very incisive assertion.

In his later years, although he listened to Hou Ying's words, he lost the opportunity to destroy Zhao, and he killed the famous soldier in vain. The people's livelihood in Qin is depressed. None of this can hide his historical achievements, nor can it hide the fact that Qin has made rapid progress in all aspects in this era.

the era of Zhao Wang is an important era that keeps pace with the era of filial piety and the era of Qin Wang Zheng (the period before becoming emperor).

Xunzi once commented on the state of Qin under the personal administration of King Zhao Xiang of Qin in front of Fan Ju, the prime minister of Qin. Xunzi said: "The frontier of Qin is steep, the terrain is convenient, the mountains and rivers are very beautiful, and the natural resources are rich, which is the geographical superiority. Entering the territory and observing its customs, the people are simple, the music is not lewd and dirty, and the clothes are not frivolous and enchanting; People are very afraid of officials and very tame, just like the ancient people.

When I arrived at the government offices in large and small towns, all kinds of officials there were serious, all humble, thrifty, sincere and cautious, loyal and trustworthy, not sloppy, just like officials under the ancient holy king. Enter its capital, observe the literati there, walk out of your own door, walk into the public yamen, walk out of the public yamen, and return to your home without private affairs.

no collusion, no cliques, and no one is unwise and honest, just like an ancient official. Observing its imperial court, before retiring from the dynasty, everything must be dealt with, and it seems that there is nothing to deal with at ease, just like the ancient imperial court. Therefore, the four generations of Qin were strong, not because of luck, but the inevitable result.

this is what I saw. Therefore, it is the highest realm of politics to be at ease and well managed, to have concise and thorough government orders, and to have achievements in political affairs without being upset. Qin is like this. Even so, I am still afraid. I have all three aspects mentioned above, but it is still far from the fame of the king. What is the reason? Maybe they don't have a Confucian.

Therefore, those who purely advocate morality and appoint sages can rule the country, while those who give consideration to both justice and interests in a complicated way and those who are trusted by sages can dominate the princes. Neither of these two things will be destroyed. This is also the shortcoming of Qin. "
