Biography

edit

Xiaowen was the second son of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and Queen Tang, and grandson of Queen Dowager Xuan.

He was a king of the Qin for less than one year, and died three days after his coronation.

Various theories about his short reign have been proposed. The most accepted theory is that he was very old when he ascended to the throne (his father ruled for over 50 years).[2]

However, a conspiracy theory that Lü Buwei poisoned the king, or at least hastened his death, to put the next king, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, onto the throne has been proposed. This is supported in a way by the fact that Zhuangxiang reigned for only 3 years [contradictory].[3]

Using the Zhuanxu calendar, the dates correspond to 12 Nov and 14 Nov 250 BCE on the proleptic Julian calendar. (孝文王除丧,十月己亥即位,三日辛丑卒...)
