Why did Qin Shihuang not establish a queen all his life?

 Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, established China's first powerful empire with unified territory, multi-ethnic and centralized autocracy, and basically established China's territory and feudal dynasty political system. He began to call himself Emperor and I, and began to use imperial edicts, jade seals and taboos. He implemented the system of counties, three princes and nine ministers, unified characters, currency, weights and measures, and car tracks. He presided over the construction of the Great Wall, Lingqu, Afang Palace (not yet built), many roads, terracotta warriors and horses, and Lishan mausoleum. He attacked Xiongnu in the north, marched to Baiyue in the south, opened up territory, burned books and dug up scholars, and sent Xu Fu to lead 3000 boys and girls out to look for them Elixir of life

Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of the state of Zhao. His mother was Zhao Ji, his father was King Zhuang Xiang of Qin (one said Lu Buwei), his brother was Cheng Heng, his son was 23, his famous sons were Fusu and huhai, and his daughter was 10. However, there is no record about his concubines, wives and concubines, and there is no queen's mausoleum in the first imperial mausoleum of Lishan Mountain. In other words, Qin Shihuang did not have a queen or a queen at all.

Qin Shihuang ascended the throne at the age of 13 and did not take charge until he was 22. These nine years were the time when ancient men wanted to get married, but he did not take office. The 17 years from Qin Shihuang's taking charge to the age of 39 was the time when he took power and unified the six countries. Although the state affairs were busy, it was not difficult for him to take office, but he did not take office; From the age of 39 to 50, Qin Shihuang was mostly on the road of cruising, but it didn't take much time to set up his mother for the world. In fact, the imperial concubine system was established in Qin Dynasty, but it was not formally established.

There are many opinions about why Qin Shihuang didn't establish a empress. For example, his mother, whose private life is too chaotic, disappoints him, so he doesn't want his Empress to do the same. For example, he worries about his relatives' interference in politics, so he doesn't establish a empress at all; For example, it involves a love story in which he once met a beautiful woman (maybe a fairy, or a widow Ba Qing). Unfortunately, it disappeared later, and he kept the rear seat vacant. It may also be that he thought highly of himself and thought that there was no woman worthy of him. It may also be that he was born later, but history books deleted these contents for some unknown reason, and so on. There are different opinions, but they are all conjectures.

Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of China and the only emperor without a queen.
