This is a great emperor, and later generations called the First Emperor of the Ages, he is to sweep through the Liuhe, unify the Central Plains, end the Spring and Autumn Warring States, this Qin Shi Huang, who spanned hundreds of years of chaotic wars between princes, also known as the First Emperor?
The picture shows the First Emperor
His exploits are unmatched by any emperor in ancient times, and this emperor of all ages created a great and prosperous dynasty in China, but this dynasty was a short-lived dynasty that collapsed in only fifteen years.
Regarding Qin Shi Huang, a great figure in history, why did posterity have no clue about the mystery of his life?
Who was he born to? Why has his origin been a mystery for eternity?
As the first emperor of China, his exploits are indeed unmatched, but no one knows about his lineage.
Some people say that he is the son of King Xiang of Qin zhuang and Zhao Ji, and some people say that he is the son of Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji, so who is his father? And who gave birth to it?
First of all, if you want to unlock the true lineage of Qin Shi Huang, you have to mention his father, King Xiang of Qinzhuang, who is the grandson of King Qin Zhao, the son of King Xiaowen of Qin, who once went to the State of Zhao as a hostage, also known as a stranger, and finally returned to the State of Qin with the help of Lü Buwei to become a monarch.
At that time, when the infidel went to the Zhao kingdom as a hostage, the Qin Emperor Yingzheng had not yet been born, and his father Yiren was still only a hostage, and in the days when he settled in the Zhao kingdom, it was not very good, because the noble princes of foreign countries were often excluded by the sons of the nobles of the Zhao kingdom, and the life was miserable.
In addition, there were too many noble princes exiled in the Qin state at that time, and the yiren were also one of them, if it were not for the help of the yiren through Lü Buwei, whether the yiren, that is, the king of Qin Zhuangxiang, could return to the Qin state as the monarch was also a question.
First of all, when it comes to Lü Buwei here, we have to mention some basic information about him, Lü Buwei's date of birth is unknown, only that he was secretly executed by Qin Shi Huang in 235 BC in order to consolidate imperial power.
He was a Weiguo man, that is, a native of Huaxian County, Anyang City, Henan Province, a famous merchant and politician at the end of the Warring States period, and later he was respected by the yiren and became the chancellor of the Qin State at the end of the Warring States period.
He was a very far-sighted and ambitious thinker who had assisted King Xiang of Qin zhuang in destroying the Eastern Zhou Kingdom.
In his early years, he mainly engaged in Yang Zhai, obtained huge profits by relying on cheap sellers, and became a famous businessman in Weiguo, and his family was very rich.
Because he had the mind to do business, he made a fortune and made a lot of money.
But he was not interested in money, and he wanted to be a powerful courtier from a young age, to be worshipped.
At a very young age, Lü Buwei was the rich man of the Weiguo Fujia side, but he told his father that he did not want to do business and wanted to enter the palace as an official.
His father asked him, why should he become an official and serve the king?
Lü Buwei said that he wanted power because he had attached great importance to power since he was a child, which was conducive to inflating his value.
Because he knew that in the era of frequent wars at the end of the Warring States period, the status of merchants was very low, only a little higher than that of ordinary people, and the warriors could override them.
Although he has money, his status is very low, and he is often looked down upon by others, so he urgently needs to have rights to prove that he is not a lowly person.
In fact, he wanted to enter the palace to become an official, but he never had the opportunity, even if he bribed officials through money, he was only an official the size of a sesame, so he was very unhappy.
He wanted high officials, and only the kind below the king, above one man, below ten thousand people.
His father told him that although you can get power as an official, you are very risky, even if you become a high official in the future, you can serve the king, but what can you prove?
A word from the king can make you fall into disgrace and die without a place to die?
What if you get power?
Lü Buwei told his father that with such a dialogue, there was such a record in the history books.
Lü Buwei said, I am a businessman, naturally inseparable from engaging in the industrial and commercial industry, he asked his father how many times the income from farming?
His father said directly, only ten times.
How much money he could get from selling jewelry, gold, silver and jade, his father told him, up to a hundred times.
so? Lü Buwei took a deep breath and proudly told his father, if I could support a prince to ascend to the throne of the monarch, how much would I get?
His father shook his head and said that this benefit, I am afraid, is difficult to calculate, it may be a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, it is simply immeasurable.
Lü Buwei had this ambition at that time, he knew that there was a strange prince in the Qin State who was a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom, so he had the idea of supporting him to return to the Qin State as the monarch, in case he succeeded, then for him, it was undoubtedly a huge temptation.
He was very eager for power, and he was also very eager to support this inhuman prince to return to the Qin Kingdom as the monarch.
He knew that at the end of the Warring States period, there were only seven powerful countries in the Central Plains, including Chu, Qi, Han, Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Qin. Seven countries.
Among these seven countries, the national strength and military strength of the Qin State are the most powerful. As the prince of the Qin kingdom, Yiren is also the grandson of King Qin Zhao, so there is a great possibility that he can become the monarch.
At that time, he knew that King Qin Zhao's age was very old, and King Xiaowen of Qin, as the crown prince, although he was the successor of Qin Jun, but he was weak and sick from childhood, I am afraid that he would not live for a few years, if he could persuade yiren to go to Qin to be the monarch, then he would soon soar to the sky and become a nobleman of yiren, and from then on, he would rely on this relationship and become a figure worshiped by the world.
Even after you die, you can benefit the people for the rest of your life.
He was very eager for this day, so after he made up his mind, he did not hesitate to sell his property at a low price, pay thousands of dollars, go to the Zhao kingdom, redeem the yiren from the ruler of the Zhao state, and take the yiren, that is, Zi Chu, back to the qin state, and then spend money to bribe Lady Huayang, that is, the wife of King Xiaowen of Qin, to make her crown prince.
At that time, King Zhao of Qin had died, and the monarch of the State of Qin was King Xiaowen of Qin, and with the help of Lady Huayang, Zi chu was successfully made crown prince.
After the death of King Xiaowen of Qin, Zi Chu successfully ascended to the throne of the monarch. In order to thank Lü Buwei for his help, Zi Chu made him a chancellor, second only to Qin Jun.
Lü Buwei only got the right at this time.
He also achieved the lofty ambitions he had made when he was young and could be admired, and in fact, he succeeded in doing so.
However, the son of Chu died within a few short years of becoming the Prince of Qin, and his son, Yin Zheng, the son born to his wife Zhao Ji, ascended to the throne of the State of Qin, when he was thirteen years old.
so? Was the historical Qin Shi Huang really the son of King Xiang of Qinzhuang? Was King Xiang of Qin really his and Zhao Ji's son?
It should be known that according to the records of the history books, in the first year of The Xiang King of Qinzhuang got Zhao Ji, in just a few months, Zhao Ji gave birth to Yingzheng.
And Zhao Ji was originally Lü Buwei's concubine, because once again when Lü Buwei invited King Xiang of Qinzhuang to his mansion to drink, King Xiang of Qinzhuang took a fancy to Zhao Ji's beauty, and Lü Buwei had to endure the pain of cutting love and gave Zhao Ji to him.
Just the year after King Xiang of Qin Zhuang got Zhao Ji, Yin Zheng was born?
Such a coincidence, could it be that Yingzheng's biological father was not King Xiang of Qinzhuang, but Lü Buwei?
At that time, there were also records in the history books that Zhao Ji had also favored Zhao Ji a few months before being sent to King Xiang of Qin zhuang by Lü Buwei, and as for whether she was pregnant, it is difficult to say?
But after all, the birth time of Yingzheng is too coincidental and too hasty? Exactly this year?
so? For this reason, the mystery of Yingzheng's life is also really strange?
If Yingzheng was really Lü Buwei's son, then it was very likely that Yingzheng would not be able to inherit the throne of Qin Jun, for the obvious reason that he was not the son of King Xiang of Qinzhuang, but in fact, the later successor was Qin Shi Huang.
In order to help Qin Shi Huang ascend to the throne of the monarch, Lü Buwei also took pains to promote him step by step among the many noble sons of the Qin state.
At the age of thirteen, Yingzheng finally became the King of Qin.
Regardless of whether Qin Shi Huang was Lü Buwei's son or not, why did Lü Buwei help him ascend to the throne of the King of Qin, perhaps it is possible that Qin Shi Huang was his son, but he did not dare to admit it.
However, there is still another theory in the historical circles, that is, it is recorded in the history of Sima Qian, in fact, Zhao Ji was pregnant for several months when she was sent to King Xiang of Qinzhuang, and Lü Buwei did not dare to tell King Xiang of Qin Zhuang that Zhao Ji was pregnant, so that Zhao Ji gave birth to Qin Shi Huang under Lü Buwei's warning.
It can be seen from this that Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng is most likely Lü Buwei's son.
But that's only possible, not necessarily!
