Biography
About
Huhai, son of Qin Shi Huang, was placed on the throne in 210 BC by the officials Li Si and Zhao Gao, who bypassed his brother Fusu, the designated successor. After Huhai's ascension, both Fusu and the general Meng Tian were killed on Li and Zhao's orders — whether the new emperor participated in the assassinations remains disputed. Zhao Gao dominated the reign completely; Qin Er Shi functioned as a weak figurehead. In 207 BC, Zhao Gao forced him to commit suicide. The empire had deteriorated so sharply that his successor Ziying could claim only the title of king.
