Lü Buwei was deposed by the pro-government Qin Wang zheng because he was involved in the rebellion of Yan Yi. Out of gratitude for Lü Buwei's many years of assisting the government, the King of Qin knew that it was Lü Buwei who let his concubine into the palace, which finally caused tragedy, but still did not want to kill.
However, soon after Lü Buwei arrived at the fiefdom, Qin Shi Huang turned his face completely and strangely, and his attitude changed from not killing to must be eradicated immediately. So what's the problem? What did Lü Buwei do at that time? How did it anger Qin Shi Huang?
"History": After the years, the envoys of the guests of the princes looked at each other in the Tao, and asked Wen Xinhou.
In fact, Lü Buwei did nothing!
Lü Buwei governed the Qin state in a rational and orderly manner, laying the foundation for the Qin state to be proud of the eastern states, so its ability to govern the country was recognized by the magnates of the entire era. Therefore, when the kings of the eastern countries learned that Lü Buwei was idle at home, they sent envoys to recruit.
This recruitment move is a must-kill skill for killing two birds with one stone. If Lü Buwei agrees to recruit, he can enrich and strengthen his own country by virtue of Lü Buwei's ability, and if Lü Buwei does not agree to recruit, then this move of continuous recruitment can amplify the gap between Qin Wangzheng and Lü Buwei.
Judging from the final results, the effect is very obvious. After learning that a large number of envoys from the eastern countries had broken through the threshold of Lümen, Qin Shi Huang directly wrote a letter reprimanding him. For Qin Wangzheng, he may not be worried about Lü Buwei's rebellion, but Lü Buwei cannot guarantee that his subordinates will not be lonely and push him away, and lü Buwei at this time is no longer himself, but the Lü Buwei clique representing the entire Qin state. In order to obtain a better future, this group is not willing to lose all the operations for many years, and the probability of fighting to the death is extremely high. (Later Zhao Kuangyin's imperial robe was added to the body, that is, he was pushed to the throne by his subordinates)
What merit did the "Chronicle of History" pay tribute to Qin? Qin Fengjun Henan, eating 100,000 households. Why is Jun he pro-Qin? Known as the middle father. He and his family moved to Shu!
Lü Buwei's proudest honors at that time were 2, 1 was the state to give him the title of marquis, eating 100,000 households, which was an affirmation of his governance of the country, and the other was to call zhongfu in front of the King of Qin, which was an affirmation of his auxiliary government of the King of Qin. And Qin Shi Huang wrote a letter, 2 asking "He Gong" and "He Qin", destroying these honors.
People sometimes live for a breath, an honor, especially the kind of people who have no worries about food and clothing. Lü Buwei himself was a big businessman, rich enough to live a "fairy life" for himself, he assisted the government and won the government, just to prove that he had the talent of Jiang Taigong, but unfortunately Qin Wangzheng ruined all this, And Lü Buwei struggled for decades, and disappeared overnight. Lü Buwei now lost hope of fighting again, despaired, and then committed suicide.
Qin Wangzheng used psychological warfare to completely eliminate Lü Buwei, the core of the Lü Buwei clique.
The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" says: "In the twelfth year, Wen Xin waited for Wei's death and was buried. ”
Because it was a suicide and the king had been "convicted", Lü Buwei's descendants buried their ancestors in the form of "stealing", that is, secretly burying them, without doing anything with great fanfare. But even if it had been secretly stolen, Lü Buwei's former disciples had formed a considerable number of huge teams.
The "History of Suoyin" says: "Thousands of its guests were buried together in Luoyang's Northern Qiao Mountain. ”
Thousands of people attended Lü Buwei's funeral, which made Qin Wangzheng furious. After all, Lü Buwei forced himself to die, and these ministers knew this and still wanted to send it, not to punch themselves in the face?
In the end, The Qin Dynasty carried out a major sweep of these Disobedient Lü Family Gate people who were still entrenched in the Qin Dynasty.
Lü Buweimen who were born in the Six Kingdoms were all expelled.
For Qin officials who were more than 600 stones and those who participated in Lü Buwei's funeral, they were stripped of their official titles and exiled to Fangling.
Qin officials who were under 500 stones and who did not attend Lü Buwei's funeral were also exiled to Fangling, but they were not stripped of their titles.
Qin Shi Huang could be said to have exterminated all those related to Lü Buwei. The entire Lü Buwei group was completely erased after the death of 1 person and 1 funeral. From a political point of view, Qin Shi Huang had enough grand strategy.
However, from Lü Buwei's point of view, this is really to unload and kill donkeys, or to kill them mercilessly, which makes people heartache and chill.
