Since the Qinian Palace mutiny that year.
Queen Dowager Zhao Ji has been living in Yongdi away from Xianyang for nearly ten years.
Eighteen Qin officials once threatened to commit suicide in a plea to the First Emperor to allow the Queen Mother Zhao to return to Xianyang.
The First Emperor was considerate and allowed those Qin officials to die if they asked for it, thus preserving their reputation.
From then on, no Qin official dared to speak out and advise the First Emperor to welcome back the Queen Mother Zhao.
