Beside the tomb is Fusu temple, which is a key cultural relics protection unit in Shaanxi Province. Mengtian tomb and Fusu tomb face each other across Dali River. Fusu was the eldest son of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. He was virtuous and wise, and was popular. Because he didn't agree with his father's tyranny, he was sent to Suide to monitor the military affairs of general Meng Tian. Later, he was killed with Meng Tian and buried here. Meng Tian was the most outstanding general under the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. He conquered Xiongnu in the north, built the great wall and made great achievements. In 210 BC, Meng Tian and his son Fusu were given death together. After Meng Tian's death, his soldiers filled the earth with their war robes in tears and built this tomb for him.

Introduction to Fusu

The eldest son of Qin Shihuang? (210 BC), surnamed Ying, surnamed Zhao, surnamed Fusu. He was a political visionary among the rulers of Qin Dynasty.

After the unification of the six states by the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, in order to keep the capital Xianyang connected with Northern Xinjiang, Zhidao was built along the North-South Ziwuling, which is now the "Qin Zhidao" site. At that time, Qin Shihuang "burned books to pit scholars" and killed more than 460 warlocks in Xianyang pit, which caused Fu Su's worry.

Fu Su believed that the world was not settled, and the people were not at ease. He opposed the policies of "burning books to entrap scholars" and "valuing the law to be a minister", so he was demoted to Shangjun by Qin Shihuang. Meng Tian was the commander in chief of the project, and the prince Fu Su was the supervisor of the army.

In the winter of the 37th year of Emperor Qinshihuang (210 BC), Emperor Qinshihuang traveled all over the world and died when he arrived at the sand dune. Before Qin Shihuang's death, he ordered Fu Su to preside over funerals and inherit the throne. However, Zhao Gao and Li Si, the prime minister, and Zhao huhai, the youngest son of the first emperor of Qin, conspired to alter the imperial edict of the first emperor and made Hu Hai the crown prince. At the same time, Meng Tian and Fu Su were given death in another book, and "counted crimes". Hu Hai's emissary sent a letter to Shangjun. Fusu opened the imperial edict and knew that he would die without doubt, so he was ready to commit suicide. General Meng Tian became suspicious and urged Fusu not to commit suicide. "Please reply, please reply and then die before dusk." But Fusu was generous, benevolent and just, and did not want to be polite. He said, "if the father gives his son death, please be safe." He committed suicide on the shangjunwang platform (today's Suide sobbing spring), and was later buried on the top of Shushu mountain in the old town of Suide County. The tomb was large and formed a small hill. Later, people built a small wooden building on the top of the tomb, which was called octagonal building (as shown in the right picture), and also called "Prince's tomb" among the people.

Fusu has always had a good name. The people didn't know that Fusu was dead, or there was a saying that "a young son should not be established, and the one who established it should be the son Fusu". Later, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fought against Qin II, they pretended to be the son Fusu to call on the responders.

There are many opinions about Fusu's death. Many people are skeptical of the historical records, and so far there is no final conclusion.

Some people think that Fusu saw through the stratagem of Zhao Gao and others, only because the world had been decided, he was not willing to start a war, and he was not willing to fight with his brothers to avoid unnecessary disputes. But Fusu's practice is relatively incorrect. If he becomes emperor, I'm afraid Chinese history will be rewritten.
