King Xiaowen of Qin (302–250 BC), personal name Ying Zhu or Ying Shi, was a king of the Qin state. He is also known as Lord Anguo (安國君), based on his title before his kingship.




Biography


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).
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.
