Who was Shi Huangdi?

So, who was Ying Zheng?(his real birth name) He was born in 259 B.C. to the leader of the Qin state. At the age of thirteen Shi tool the throne from his father and an advisor was the ruler until he turned 22 and became ruler of the Qin state. He then used the large army of the Qin state to overthrow the other states and united China. as you can see Shi Huangdi was a very important part of ancient China.

  1. Thats really cool. I would never have guessed that he would be the ruler at age 13. I think it was wise to make him wait until 22 to be the only ruler. great work.
