Solution
Emperor Qin's second son, Huhai, became emperor by forging a letter ordering his older brother, Fusu, to commit suicide. This happened after their father's death when a power struggle ensued. The letter was allegedly from their father, ordering Fusu to commit suicide due to a military defeat. Believing the letter to be genuine, Fusu obeyed and Huhai ascended to the throne.
