Some Chinese documents claim that Wu Zetian was the first female emperor of feudal China. However, historian Tran Anh Nguyen in Nanjing believes that Empress Dowager Xuan was the first "female emperor" of China. Empress Dowager Xuan (? -265 BC), also known as Mi Yue, or Mi Ba Zi, was the concubine of King Qin Huiwen and mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang.
Tran Anh Nguyen has been researching the Qin Dynasty (403 - 221 BC) and the Binh Ma Dung army of King Qin Thuy Hoang for more than 40 years. He also researched Empress Dowager Xuan and wrote her life story.

Sima Qian's "Historical Records - Biography of Marquis of Jiang" recorded that: "King Zhao was still young, Empress Dowager Xuan took over the government, leaving her younger brother Wei Ran to assist in the government." However, according to later research by historians, Crown Prince Ying Ze was 19 years old at that time, the same age as King Qin Huiwen and King Qin Wu.
Historian Tran Canh Nguyen believes that after being taken hostage in Yen, a vassal state at that time, Prince Tac contracted a strange illness. When she returned to Ham Duong, Empress Dowager Tuyen discovered that her son was unable to rule, so she used the excuse that the king was still young to take full power. Empress Dowager Tuyen became the first female regent in ancient China. Because Prince Tac's illness had not yet been cured for decades, the Empress Dowager's reign also lasted for several decades.
Empress Dowager Xuan was considered to be more ruthless, ruthless, and ruthless than Wu Zetian. After taking power, she severely punished anyone who spoke ill of her behind her back. King Zhao of Qin was invisible. When she came to power, Empress Dowager Xuan appointed her two younger brothers as prime ministers and her two remaining sons as grand generals.
According to some rare records, King Zhao of Qin was always under the strict control of Empress Dowager Xuan, almost losing his freedom. "Historical Records - Biography of Fan Sui" states that the people of Qin only knew that Empress Dowager Xuan held power but did not know that there was also a King Zhao of Qin.
Historian Tran Canh Nguyen stated that Empress Dowager Tuyen was regent for 41 years, when she was "stripped of her power", Doanh Tac was 60 years old. During those 41 years, he lived in Luc Anh Palace and Li Palace, completely isolated from the outside world . He was there under the pretext of medical treatment, and was gradually thought to have disappeared.
