King Cheng took the title Shih Huang-ti or Shi Huangdi [ first august emperor ] in 221 BC and began to consolidate the new empire. In matters of state he was counseled by Li Ssu (d. 208 BC), a scholar of the Legalist school of philosophy, which emphasized the need for strict laws in social and political relations and for obedience to state authority.
