The fall of the Qin dynasty of can be described as what can be known as a tragic event. Three assassination attempts were made on the life of the first Emperor of the Qin dynasty. This caused him to make endeavors to lead an immortal life. He passed away in 210 BC in effort to gain immortality with the service of magicians. Chief Zhao Gao, and the prime minister, Li Si, hid the news of his death in order to execute a shrewd plan. They would try to transfer the will of making Huhai (also known as Qin Er Shi), the emperor’s son, next in line for thrown. They would then manipulate him to their own benefits and efficiently control the empire. To their luck, Qin Er Shi sure was an inexpert. He executed many ministers and imperial princes, continued massive building projects of which one was enhancing the city walls. He also expanded the army, increased taxes, and arrested messengers who brought him bad news. This caused China to revolt and as a result residents started declaring themselves kings of minor territories.
Li Si was later executed and Zhao Gao continued his attempts to convince Qin Er Shi to suicide. He lured him to doing so by reminding him of his ineptitude. As soon as Er Shi’s got the thrown, he executed Zhao Gao. Dealing with the restless state of the country and in order to keep his throne, Ziying declared and portrayed him as a leader among leaders. He too was demoralized by his ineptness and was revolt was broke out in 209 BC. Ziying was defeated near the Wei River in 207 BC and was executed by the Chu leader Xiang Yu. The Qin capital was destroyed the next year. This is considered by a number of historians to be the end of the Qin Empire. In future, the Qin dynasty would have an impact on the structure of coming dynasties.
