Did the doctors give Qin Shihuang the immortality pills with mercury on purpose? Or they just didn't know Mercury is dangerous back then? Also, how old was the emperor when the dynasty starts?

I thought the doctors were on purpose. Qinshihuang was only 12 years old.

WOW!!! that was young. are you sure he was that young?

Qin Shihuang inheritted the king of the Qin states at his 13 years old, at his 39 years old he unified china,established Qin empire(Qin dynasty).
