According to the "Chronicle of Lü Buwei", Lü Buwei was implicated in the "Rebellion of Yan Yi" and was deposed from the position of chancellor.
Later, Yin Zheng wrote a letter to Lü Buwei, which read:
"What merit did Jun he owe to Qin?" Qin sealed the jun in Henan, eating 100,000 households; jun he was close to Qin? Known as the middle father. He and his family moved to Shu! ”
After Lü Buwei saw these thirty words, he realized the true meaning expressed behind Yingzheng, was terrified, and finally chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
So, what kind of deep meaning does Qin Shi Huang have behind this sentence?
Lü Buwei's situation: Yingzheng originally wanted to "open grace outside the law"
What kind of situation Lü Buwei was in in the Qin Kingdom, the historical record is not the same as the interpretation in "Great Qin Fu".
In fact, whether it is a different person or a politician, lü Buwei is extremely suspicious.
When the Yiyi people were hostages in the Zhao Kingdom, the Qin State was still under the rule of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and the country was strong and stable inside and outside. Lü Buwei designed to return to the Qin kingdom, King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, King Xiaowen of Qin took the throne, and Lü Buwei was still a merchant.
But the strange thing is that King Xiaowen died three days after he ascended the throne, and Yi Yiren succeeded him as King Xiang of Qinzhuang. However, what is even more bizarre is that the Yingyi people also died after three years on the throne, and the Yingzheng took the throne.
The King of Qin changed a little more frequently, and whether it was the death of King Xiaowen or the death of King Zhuang Xiang, the biggest beneficiary was Lü Buwei.
Therefore, some people suspect that the deaths of these two Qin kings are related to Lü Buwei.
In fact, there is no evidence for this suspicion, but such a thing does not need evidence, because Lü Buwei can indeed pose a threat to the King of Qin. "The Three Families Divide the Jin" and "Tian Clan Usurp qi", Yin Jian is not far away, which is why both Yin Yi and Yin Zheng had a deep suspicion of Lü Buwei after they took the throne.
Empress Zhao, The birth mother of Yingzheng, was originally given to Yingyi by Lü Buwei, and the two of them rekindled their old feelings and jointly controlled the government of the dynasty, so that the power of the Qin state fell by the wayside, and the crown pro-government that should have been implemented in the year when Yingzheng was 20 years old was delayed for two years.
However, no matter what, Yingzheng finally crowned the pro-government, then Lü Buwei's threat has actually been reduced a lot, considering his contribution to the Qin state for more than ten years, hard work, And Yingzheng did not force him too much.
However, an unexpected "rebellion" has made all this change trajectory.
The revelation that Consort Yi and Empress Zhao had two sons was a shock to the world, and in a panic, Yan Yi forged the seals of the empress dowager and the King of Qin, and sent soldiers to rebel in the palace. This battle caught Ying zheng off guard, and even the eunuchs in the palace joined the battle sequence, and finally calmed down.
And it was Lü Buwei who gave it to Empress Zhao to escape.
Lü Buwei and Empress Zhao's old love rekindled, and they were hidden from Yingzheng. However, as Yingzheng grew older, Lü Buwei was also afraid, so he found a big yin person yan Yi to replace him, and Empress Zhao also let Lü Buwei go.
But now that the matter of Concubine Yi has been exposed, the little broken things of Lü Buwei and Empress Zhao naturally cannot withstand investigation, which is also the real reason why he was deposed.
However, the follow-up treatment of this matter was actually not too serious for Lü Buwei.
The car was split and the three ethnic groups were destroyed; more than 20 officials were beheaded; more than 4,000 families were relocated and denigrated; the second son of Concubine Yi and Empress Zhao was executed, and Empress Zhao was moved out of Xianyang; and 27 officials who dared to consult on this matter were all killed.
However, Lü Buwei only resigned, and did not even have the punishment of moving out of Xianyang.
It can be seen that Yin Zheng still has some gratitude for Lü Buwei, and does not put his crime on the surface, first, it involves the empress's family ugliness, and second, it also takes into account Lü Buwei's hard work and high achievements, which is to "open grace outside the law".
However, things have turned again.
Lü Buwei understood the concerns expressed by Yin Zheng
Qin Shi Huang was pro-government, and Qi and Zhao sent envoys to congratulate him, among which Qi envoy Mao Jiao successfully persuaded Qin Shi Huang to welcome Back Empress Zhao on the grounds that losing the name of "benevolence and filial piety" was not conducive to Qin's unification of the world.
Since Empress Zhao was coming back, Lü Buwei could not stay in Xianyang.
Yin Zheng ordered Lü Buwei to return to his fengyi in Henan. Unexpectedly, when Lü Buwei left, he actually caused the disciples, the tourists, and the envoys of various countries to bid farewell.
And it was at this time that a rumor gradually spread.
It is said that king Kaolie of the Chu kingdom had no heirs, and Chunshen Jun Huang Xie was very anxious and collected many women for him. There was a man named Li Yuan in the State of Zhao who originally wanted to dedicate his sister Nuhuan to the King of Chu, but he was worried that the King of Chu had a physical problem, and his sister could not give birth to an heir and fell out of favor, so he dedicated the female ring to Chun Shenjun.
After Huang Xie accepted the female ring, he successfully made her pregnant, and Li Yuan, the female ring, and Chun Shenjun plotted to dedicate the female ring to the King of Chu. In this way, the female ring successfully gave birth to a baby boy for the king of Chu, which was the prince of Chu.
This means that Chun Shenjun succeeded in stealing the country, and his son became the future king of Chu.
However, Li Yuan, Nuhuan, and others, fearing that Chunshen Jun was powerful, assassinated him at the funeral of king Chu, so that Chunshen Jun's disciples scattered to the nations, and the matter spread.
This year coincided with the ninth year of the First Emperor, and when the Rebellion broke out, Lü Buwei resigned.
It can be seen that the plot of Chunshen Jun Huang Xie's offering of a female ring to King Chu Kaolie is very similar to the plot of Lü Buwei sending Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang's concubine Zhao Ji, so the rumors about Yin Zheng's lineage become more and more sensitive.
And Yan Yi once claimed to be the "false father" of Qin Shi Huang, that is, the meaning of the stepfather, and Lü Buwei was the "middle father" of Yingzheng, so when compared, things became more and more delicate.
Ying zheng, who had just experienced the "rebellion of Yan Yi", had to worry.
Yan Yijie's "castration" was not a big deal, but Lü Buwei was different, he had been in business for more than ten years and was deeply rooted in the Qin state. In addition, the world's disciples, wanderers, and envoys of all nations had great respect for him.
If he wants to launch a rebellion, then the historical events of "three families dividing the Jin Dynasty" and "Usurping the Qi of the Tian Clan" may not be repeated.
Only then did the "thirty words" that Ying Zheng gave Lü Buwei appeared.
What is the credit to Qin? Why qin?
Everyone knows it, but because of this, Lü Buwei's hidden dangers to the Qin state have become more and more serious.
Therefore, Yin Zheng ordered that Lü Buwei's family should not go to their own fiefdom and go to Bashu instead.
It is precisely because Lü Buwei saw That Yingzheng was jealous of himself, and he knew in his heart that if he did not die, then the punishment of the Lü clan would not stop, and in the end it would inevitably be the end of the extermination of the clan.
Therefore, Lü Buwei was frightened and could only commit suicide by drinking.
In fact, after Lü Buwei's death, there is no record of how his family was, so it should be preserved.
The future is hidden in the night, waiting for the dawn here.
I am Waiting for Xiao'er, focusing on the popularization and interpretation of culture, welcome to pay attention to and exchange.
