Emperor Qin intended for his dynasty to last for a thousand generations. Though his ideal of a unified empire, has inspired all Chinese governments to succeed for the next millennia. So Qin has achieved immortality.
Li Si and the other ministers are worried about people going to seize this moment able to rebel against the abuses of the government, so they are keeping the death of Emperor Qin a secret from everyone.
Emperor Qin has ordered the construction of his burial about 20 miles east of Xianyang about 30 years ago. The 700,000 workers and craftsmen put together had worked these near 30 years on the tomb. Since Qin had died unexpectedly, the tomb was not finished yet. He is being planned to be burried in a few months, sorounded by a 400 foot high, four-sided pyramid-shaped, going to cover about a square mile.
May Emperor Qin rest in peace.
