Qin Emperor Ziying

Jia Yi and Sima Qian said: 'If Ying had only the ability of an ordinary ruler and merely achieved the role of a capable minister, then even if the lands east of the mountains had fallen into chaos, Qin’s territory could still have been preserved, and the ancestral sacrifices would not have been cut off.'

Pacify the Six States, attack the Baiyue, and conquer the Xiongnu; wherever the whip points, there is Qin land. Unify written characters, chariots and tracks, and measures and systems; one stratagem from the ancients decides heaven and earth. The lands east of the mountains fall into chaos, and they are reduced to ashes in a laugh and a talk. In the struggle between Chu and Han, all the fighting only becomes a joke.

The third-generation heir Yingzi is actually the soul of a modern person, watching how the precarious Great Qin is reborn from the flames.
