Was Qin Shi Huang really Lü Buwei's son?

author：Ying Tian Monogatari

Regarding the lineage of Qin Shi Huang, the most popular theory is that Qin Shi Huang was Lü Buwei's illegitimate son.

The history books that Qin Shi Huang was an illegitimate son are closely related to the stories circulating in society at that time. Lü Buwei, a great merchant of the Wei Dynasty, met Sun Yingzi Chu, the king of the Qin state who was a hostage in the Zhao state, when he was doing business in Handan in the Zhao state one year. Lü Buwei thought that Zi Chu could be used, so he tried to make friends and curry favor with him. Lü Buwei first won the status of crown prince for Zi Chu through An Guojun's favorite concubine Lady Huayang, and then sent his own concubine to Zi Chu. The beauty was pregnant at the time. Soon after, he gave birth to a son, named Yingzheng, which was the future Qin Shi Huang.

However, many people disputed the claim that Qin Shi Huang was Lü Buwei's illegitimate son. Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty believed that this was a rumor deliberately fabricated by Lü Buwei in order to maintain his wealth. Guo Moruo believes that this statement began in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. It was Lu Hou who deliberately spread the remarks. The purpose was to prove that the world was originally owned by the Lu family, and now it was all seized by the Liu family. It should be taken back.

According to the latest research results and medical knowledge, Qin Shi Huang was not the son of Lü Buwei, but the son of Zi Chu. In other words, Qin Shi Huang had the bloodline of the Qin royal family of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er. Rumors that Qin Shi Huang was an illegitimate child were fabricated out of thin air.
