Ziying




Ziying (子嬰 ) was the last ruler of the Qin Dynasty of China , ruling as King of Qin (秦王) from mid-October to the beginning of December 207 BC .

He was the son of Fusu , the eldest son of the First Emperor Of Qin .
After he succeed as the ruler of Qin , he killed the powerful chief eunuch Zhao Gao , who was prime minister and had murdered Ziying's uncle Qin Er Shi . He then surrendered to Liu Bang -- the first rebel leader to enter the capital Xianyang and the later founder of Han Dynasty . He was only on the throne for 46 days. He was soon killed after Liu Bang handed him over to the most powerful rebel of the time, Xiang Yu .

The '' Shiji '' does not specify his age. It implies that he has at least two sons, however, when it says that Ziying consulted with them.
