Qin Shihuang, who unified the six countries, is well known, but is he more successful or more successful? This has been a controversial issue for nearly a hundred years, and everyone has their own opinions.
I think Qin Shihuang's contribution is greater than his own. Although Qin Shihuang was an emperor, the emperor was also a man, not a god. Everyone makes mistakes and has shortcomings.
I. Politics
1. Improve the dignity of the emperor: Ying Zheng thought that he had gained merits and demerits from "Huang San" and "Five Emperors", so he adopted the honorific title of the ancient * * * Lord and merged it into "Emperor" as the exclusive title of the emperor. From then on, the monarch in the history of China was called "Emperor" and the winner was called Qin Shihuang. In addition, a series of special names are used to express the supreme authority of the supreme ruler of the country. For example, the emperor calls himself "I", his orders are called "Zhi" or "Zhao", and his seal is called "Xi".
2. Strict centralization: the prime minister and others are responsible to the emperor respectively, and everything is subject to the emperor. In addition, the Shi Qing Shilu system was abolished, and officials from the central government to local governments were appointed and removed by the emperor, and they had no inheritance rights.
