Fusu (扶蘇) (died 210 BC) was the first son of the First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang(秦始皇), and hence the heir apparent.
However, after the secret death of the First Emperor, Fusu's brother, Huhai (秦二世,胡亥), together with two high officials Zhao Gao(趙高) and Li Si(李斯), forged the First Emperor's decree to rename Huhai as the successor and order Fusu to commit suicide. Some aides of Fusu doubted the veracity of the decree, but Fusu either did not believe someone would dare to forge the decree or, with good reason, feared being killed anyway, and he committed suicide.
He had a son Ziying (子嬰) who was made Emperor of Qin after Zhao Gao forced Huhai to commit suicide later in 207 BC. At that time Li Shi was already eliminated by Zhao Gao. Ziying soon killed Zhao Gao.
