嬴将闾 / Ying Jianglu

嬴将闾 / Ying Jianglu enters the wiki through Qinji 128-1 as one of 秦始皇’s sons targeted during 胡亥 / 秦二世’s post-accession purge. He and two same-mother brothers are imprisoned inside the palace after 赵高 persuades Hu Hai to treat princes and old ministers as threats.

The source makes Ying Jianglu important because he asks for an intelligible charge. When Hu Hai’s envoy says he is guilty of arrogant conduct and disloyalty, Ying Jianglu answers that he has not erred in government, sacrifice, or formal response and asks to know the actual crime before dying. The envoy refuses explanation and says he only carries out the order, so Ying Jianglu and his brothers weep and kill themselves.

For the wiki, Ying Jianglu is a concrete victim of 继位合法性清洗. His scene shows that the legal language around the purge no longer requires evidence or adjudication; royal kin can be turned into threats because Hu Hai’s legitimacy anxiety needs targets.

Key Claims

• Ying Jianglu is presented as a Qin prince and son of Qin Shi Huang.
• He is imprisoned with two same-mother brothers during Hu Hai’s purge.
• The accusation against him is broad disloyalty, but the source gives no substantive crime.
• His request for an actual charge fails because the envoy only executes Hu Hai’s order.
• His death shows the purge’s procedural emptiness despite its legal vocabulary.

Connections

• 胡亥 / 秦二世 - ruler whose order forces the death.
• 赵高 - adviser who turns Hu Hai’s fear into purge policy.
• 秦始皇 - father and dynastic predecessor.
• 嬴高 - another Qin prince whose response to the purge is to request burial with Qin Shi Huang.
• 继位合法性清洗, 连坐式牵连惩罚, and 法家君术 - mechanism frame.
