Qin Shihuang named his eldest son Fusu because he hoped that when he grew up, he would be graceful and tall, as elegant as the Fusu tree.
Fusu is a metaphor here, describing the girl's sweetheart's jade tree facing the wind, like a Fusu tree. In fact, Fusu was really kind-hearted. Because he persuaded Qin Shihuang to love the people and not to kill excessively, he was expelled from the palace to guard the border.
Later generations believe that if Fusu had ascended the throne, the Qin Dynasty would not have been a short-lived dynasty.
Fusu’s benevolent heart
Fusu was resolute and brave, a man of faith and a warrior. He is tolerant and has political foresight. He bluntly advised his father and opposed the murder of "more than 460 people who violated the prohibition", which angered Qin Shihuang. He was ordered to go to Shangjun to assist General Meng Tian in building the Great Wall to resist the Huns.
Fu Su had a reputation as a virtuous man, so when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against the tyranny of Qin II in Daze Township, Chen Sheng said: "The world has been ruled by the tyrannical Qin for a long time. I heard that Qin II was the son of Qin Shihuang The younger son should not succeed to the throne, but the son Fusu should succeed. Because Fusu repeatedly advised Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang sent him to lead troops to station in other places. Now it is said that Fusu is not guilty, but Qin II is not guilty. Kill him. The people all heard that Fusu was wise, but they didn't know that he was dead.
Xiang Yan was a general of Chu State. He had made many military exploits and loved his soldiers, and the people of Chu State supported him. . After the death of Chu, some people thought that he was dead, and some people thought that he fled and went into hiding. Now if we pretend to be Prince Fusu and Xiang Yan and issue a call to the people of the world, many people will respond. " p>
