Lv Buwei (? ~ 235 years ago)? At the end of the warring States period, Puyang (now southwest of Puyang, Henan) was born. Originally a big businessman, he met a stranger who was betrothed to Zhao by Qin Gongzi in Handan, Zhao, and thought that "his goods were habitable". Because Jin Qin lobbied Mrs. Huayang, he made this stranger a prince. King Xiang of Zhuang succeeded to the throne, became prime minister, and sealed Wen Xin Hou. King Zhuang Xiang died, and King Zheng of Qin succeeded to the throne at a young age, and he succeeded to Guo Xiang, which was called "Guanzhong" in history. Twelve counties in Lantian, Shiyi, and twenty households in Luoyang, Henan. Some took advantage of the contradiction between Yan and Zhao to obtain ten cities in Hejian (now southeast of xian county, Hebei Province) provided by Yan as fiefs. When he was in office, he captured Zhou, Zhao, Wei and other places, and established Sanchuan, Taiyuan,. There are 3,000 guests and 10,000 families under the door.
At the end of the Warring States period, the Qin Dynasty used Shang Yang's political reform to gain strength, and attacked the city with six Shandong countries, becoming more and more familiar with Sheng Qiang. Zhou Nanwang dedicated the land and Jiuding, a symbol of state power, to the State of Qin. Among the six countries, Zhao and Qin are equal in strength. Under the command of Lian Po, Zhao repelled the attack of Qin twice. The State of Qin was forced to give the youngest son of a concubine of the King of Qin to Zhao as a hostage. Sometime from 265 BC to 259 BC, Lv Buwei, a big businessman in Yangzhai, passed by Handan, the capital of Zhao, and met a stranger. He was taken hostage and sent to live in Zhao. When Lv Buwei met strangers, he thought that strange goods were available, so he fell in love with them and gradually became a bosom friend.
This stranger has no friends in a foreign land, and some people are willing to listen to him and imagine his future political journey. He was so grateful that he always poured out his difficulties in a foreign land without fear. Lv Buwei tried to do something for him. In the state of Qin, he bribed and conspired to please Mrs. Huayang, the favorite concubine of the king of Qin, and induced the king of Qin to accept different people as his treasurer. Lv Buwei also lets his daughter make friends with strangers. Makes grateful, and reached a secret agreement, if one day for the king of Qin, and Wei * * * riches and honour. Lv Buwei went west to the state of Qin and bought countless rare treasures along the way.
In the State of Qin, Lv Buwei bribed Mrs. Huayang's sister first, because Mrs. Huayang was a favorite concubine of a monarch, but she had no children, so Mrs. Huayang's sister persuaded Mrs. Huayang to take an outsider as her adopted son. She advised Mrs. Huayang: "My wife has no children, so she should adopt one as soon as possible. Otherwise, if she continues to fall in love, what can she rely on?" Now foreigners have promised Zhao, crying for the prince and his wife day and night. Why not take this opportunity to let strangers become their own heirs, let strangers never forget their virtues, and let their wives have a lifelong dependence, killing two birds with one stone! "This sentence let his wife woke up from a dream. That night, I told the prince that I had decided to make a stranger my heir.
Back to Zhao, since then, his friendship with strangers has become more and more profound. Lv Buwei has other plans. Although Lv Buwei is a very successful businessman, he deeply feels that the social status of businessmen is too low. In the era of hegemony in troubled times, Zhao was too weak compared with Qin, and he sprouted his ambition to go to Qin for politics. Lv Buwei, with foresight, used the hostages of Qin State to win over different people and made plans to enter Qin State.
In Handan, the capital of Zhao, there is a geisha Evonne. She has small cherry lips and two lines of broken jade. She is elegant and lovely. Lv Buwei paid a lot of money for it as a concubine. Three months later, Evonne was pregnant. Lv Buwei told Evonne, "I am going to seek the world in Qiang Qin, so I will marry you and give it to a stranger when you are pregnant. The stranger is now Zhao's hostage and has no wife. If the child is male, the stranger is the heir. After the death of a stranger, my son acceded to the throne, and you and I will seize the world of Qin! " Evonne replied.
The next day, Lv Buwei gave a banquet to invite different people. Delicious and delicious, full of banquets and dancers lined up on both sides. When the wine was half drunk, Zhao Ji came out with cosmetics to persuade him to drink. When I saw Evonne's cloud temples lightly picked, the moth eyebrows lightly swept, the jade steps lightly moved, and the fragrant wind attacked people, I couldn't help but be dazzled and look trance-stricken, just a glimpse. Evonne also winked at him and looked at him shyly and silently. Before Evonne made a toast, he asked people to pick up the wine, look around and never leave. While Lv Buwei was drunk, he dozed off at dinner. Makes to pull Evonne sleeve. If Evonne is angry and happy, she pushes it halfway, but she can't stop the seat from slamming. One by one, she heard Lv Buwei scream, "How dare you molest my concubines?" Makes hurriedly look back, I saw not far away Wei has been standing in front of the table angrily, suddenly scared out of her wits, so she had to kneel for mercy.
Lv Buwei sneered again: "You and I have been friends for many years. I shouldn't insult people so that my concubines can love me, or I can tell them frankly. Why are you sneaking around? "
Hearing this, the stranger suddenly turned from shock to joy, kowtowing to Lv Buwei and pleading, "The alien hostages are here, and the hostel is lonely. If you want to ask Evonne to be your wife, if you are lucky, if you get rich from now on, you will definitely repay me. "
Lv Buwei thoughtfully for half a day. The stranger added, "I will be a bit of a ring in my next life and I will never forget it!" "
Lv Buwei pretended to be angry and said, "Since your highness likes it, I will give it to you. What can I say in return? " Lv Buwei helped him up, let Evonne sit on the seat on the side of the makes, drink until late at night, and then let Evonne accompany makes get on the bus and return to the hostel.
After Evonne and Evonne saved for a rainy day, more than eight months later, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, born with eyes, square forehead and heavy pupils, and born with teeth. Because the child's birthday is the first day of the first month, it was named Zhao Zheng.
Three years later, Qin and Zhao fell out and Handan was besieged. Zhao intends to kill the alien and bribe the keeper to send him back to Qin. When the stranger saw Mrs. Huayang, he cried and told his yearning for parting in recent years. Because Mrs. Huayang was originally a Chu woman, he deliberately changed to wear Chu clothes. Mrs. Huayang was sad and said with tears, "I am from Chu. You can express my thoughts, and I am willing to raise you as my son. You might as well change your name to Zi Chu. " He worships the childless Crown Princess Huayang, who is only three years older than him. From then on, I greet you in the morning and evening, and I am very diligent.
Qin Zhaoxiang died of illness and filial piety, so he made Zi Chu a prince. Only three days later, King Xiaowen died. Zi Chu acceded to the throne as the King of Qin, and Mrs. Huayang was the Empress Dowager Huayang. Her biological mother is Xia's queen mother, not Xia's queen. Ying Zheng (Ying Zheng, therefore, returned to Qin) was the heir, Lv Buwei was named the Prime Minister, Wen Xinhou, and 100,000 households lived in Luoyang, Henan.
In a blink of an eye, it is four years. Zi Chu lived a chaotic life in the palace, exhausted by Xie Jing, and Evonne spoiled every night. Zi Chu indulged in greed and pleasure and soon became weak. He died of a stroke while playing in bed at the age of 36.
Ying Zheng was thirteen years old and acceded to the throne as the king of Qin. Because of her youth, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji paid attention to politics. Lv Buwei was appointed as "Guan Zhong" to handle state affairs. At this time, Evonne was the Queen Mother of Zhuangxiang. She is not yet 30 years old and can't stand the silence of the palace. She couldn't sleep alone, so they had a secret relationship. Lv Buwei often went in and out of the palace at will, and resumed sexual relations with Evonne. Gong E's colorful women are mostly confidants of the Queen Mother, so they naturally keep their mouths shut. Ying Zheng was a teenager and didn't know the secret, so they were sneaking around, like husband and wife.
Gradually, Ying Zheng grew up, and Lv Buwei could not cope with his old age. However, Evonne was lewd and often called Lv Buwei into the palace because of greed. Lv Buwei, afraid that things would be exposed, privately found a Yin Lao Ai to be a Scheeren. Lao Ai's penis is magnificent. He once arched a paulownia car with his penis and inserted it into the axle to turn the car. No, Wei called it Ai's stunt. Evonne is very envious and wants to have a try.
So Lv Buwei chose Laoyi's men, pretended to be eunuchs, and went into the palace to serve Evonne. Zhao Ji led LaoYi to the couch. After a long talk, Evonne was extremely happy and got a treasure. From then on, Evonne and Laoyi were insatiable in the harem, and Evonne soon became pregnant. Laoyi colluded with Evonne, bribed servants, lied that the Queen Mother in the palace was in poor health, and asked her to move to avoid disaster. Ying Zheng didn't know there was fraud, so he asked his mother to move to the Lama Temple. Since then, mother and son are not in one place, don't worry. Evonne gave birth to two boys in a row, but Ying Zheng didn't know it. On the contrary, at his mother's request, he wrote a long letter to Lao Ai and gave thousands of handmaiden and food to his city, Yang Shan.
Lao Ai became stronger and stronger, and secretly conspired with Zhao Ji to make their illegitimate son inherit the king. However, after all, Lao Ai is a villain in the market. When a villain succeeds, it is inevitable that he will get carried away and often cry roast meat. One day, he and the minister got drunk and had a quarrel. Lao Ai scolded him and said, "I am the false father of the King of Qin. How dare you quarrel with me? " Are you as blind as a bat and don't understand competition? Unwilling to be humiliated, the minister told these words to the king of Qin.
Ying Zheng was originally a bee with a long nose and eyes, a stork with a false voice, with a mean nature and ingratitude. When he heard the news, he couldn't help getting angry. Now he ordered an investigation into the truth and lies. Later, I got a tip-off that Lao Ai was not a eunuch, but had an affair with the Queen Mother and gave birth to a child. Lao Ai was unwilling to do nothing when he learned the news, so he forged letters and sent guards to deal with the king of Qin. Twice, AI's soldiers broke up. Ying Zheng ordered the dismemberment of Lao Ai, and the three families of Lao Ai were destroyed. Send soldiers to search the Lama Temple and kill Evonne's illegitimate child. Evonne was taken to Yang Man Palace and detained. Lv Buwei sent false eunuch to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother and committed the crime of deceiving the monarch. He should sit down together. Because he had served the former king, his merits and demerits were offset, and he was exempted from the title of prime minister, and he was ordered to go to the countryside of Henan Province for leisure.
Lv Buwei lived in Henan for more than a year, and the vassal states of Shandong sent more envoys to inquire, and the envoys came in an endless stream. After Ying Zheng knew this, he wrote to prevent him from plotting to change the dynasty: "What are you doing with Qin's research, sealing Henan and eating 100,000 households? Guanzhong, what's your relationship with Qin? Now I can lead my family to move to Shu quickly, so I don't have to stay! " After reading the letter, Lv Buwei sighed and almost cried. To tell the truth, the king of Qin is violent and arrogant. If it is leaked, there will be future trouble. After thinking and thinking, there will be no good results in the future. It's better to kill yourself without pain. He took the wine, swallowed it reluctantly, and died of instant poisoning. Lv Buwei worked hard all his life, starting with fine wine and ending with fine wine. A few years later, Evonne died.
Biography of Historical Records of Lv Buwei records such a legendary story, saying that Ying Zheng was actually her son and that Ying Zheng's mother was her Ji, but she was fascinated by her beauty, wanted her and reluctantly gave her. Evonne gave birth to Ying Zheng at full term, and Zi Chu married Evonne. According to historical records, she was pregnant when she came to Zi Chu, but Zi Chu didn't know it. In the "maximum period" described in the article, she was born in politics, so her biological father is Lv Buwei-although Zi Chu and the whole world think that she is Zi Chu's son because she is pregnant for a long time. Later, Zi Chu ascended the throne and made Evonne the queen, Ying Zheng the prince and Lv Buwei the prime minister. This statement was accepted by Ban Gu, so it was called Zheng. This paper further discusses Bud's The First Ruler of China, and holds that this unusual description of pregnancy was added by an unknown person in Historical Records in order to slander Qin Shihuang and explain his political and reproductive unorthodox. Is there a better way to describe him not only as an illegitimate child, but also as the son of a businessman (traditionally, businessmen are listed as the lowest class in society by later Confucian scholars)? This sentence has achieved remarkable results, because until recently, almost no one doubted that Qin Shihuang was an illegitimate child. However, there is no obvious evidence to show whether the historical records have been tampered with.
Wang Shizhen's Postscript to Reading in Ming Dynasty questioned the authenticity of this record in Biography of Lv Buwei, and put forward two reasons: first, Lv Buwei deliberately fabricated the story that he was the father of Qin Shihuang for his own prosperity; Second, the public in Lv Buwei called Qin Shihuang an illegitimate child to vent their anger, and fabricated this statement. Guo Moruo's Ten Criticism Books are also suspected to be the father of Zheng, pointing out three doubts: (1) It is only found in Historical Records but not in the Warring States Policy, and there is no other circumstantial evidence; (2) The story of Shen Jun and Nu Wa is like a rigid printed article, and the plot is too novel; (3) The Biography of Lv Buwei says that "Mrs. Zi Chu is a noble woman", which obviously contradicts the above story.
In a blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed, and the debate about Qin Shihuang's life experience has not yet reached a consensus. However, no matter whether Evonne is pregnant or not, no matter whether Ying Zheng really has royal blood, these criticisms can't conceal his important position and role in the history of China. Maybe that's not enough.
