601 Fu Su 扶蘇. Died B.C. 210. Eldest son of the First Emperor. For remonstrating with his father on the persecution of the literati who refused to burn their books (see Li Ssŭ) he was banished to the north, where he served in the army operating against the Hsiung-nu and aided in building the Great Wall. He was there murdered by command of Li Ssŭ, in order that his younger brother, Hu Hai, might succeed to the throne.
