Wu of Qin

King Wu of Qian 秦武王 The ruler of the state Qin during 310—307 BC.

Despite his short era, King Wu did not make any help to the unification. He had invaded some of the Powers of the Warring States, especially Wei (魏). In his fourth year, his minister Meng Shuo had challenged him into a contest of carrying the quadripod, The Quadripod of the Red Dragon. King Wu broke his knee bone while trying to carry the quadripod. At night, blood came out of his eyes, and very soon he died. He had ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, and died at 23. He only ruled for four years.

After King Wu's death, Meng Shuo was executed by the other ministers. Since King Wu died young, he had no son. This threw Qin into a short-year confusion.
