Qin Shi Huang, as the first emperor of China to unify the six kingdoms and call him emperor, his life can be described as legendary and wonderful. Leaving aside the tyranny of Qin Shi Huang and Qin II, Qin Shi Huang's political and military talents can be described as Wen Tao's martial arts. As the founder of China's feudal society, the history of Qin Shi Huang has also become a hot spot in the world.
Just as the so-called "people are not many", people are discussing the tyranny and merits of this emperor for thousands of years, but also more of an exploration of his lineage. The life of Qin Shi Huang can be said to be a mystery of the ages, and no one knows. It is also for this reason that future generations are also relishing this. So whose son was Qin Shi Huang? His mother, Zhao Ji, finally told the truth before she died.
First, strange goods can be lived
When it comes to the life of Qin Shi Huang, we have to mention another figure. He is the biggest suspect in the mystery of Qin Shi Huang's life, because his existence has added a mysterious color to Qin Shi Huang's life, and he is Lü Buwei, the middle father of Qin Shi Huang.
Speaking of Lü Buwei, we must talk about Yin Zheng's father, Zi Chu. Zi Chushi was known as King ZhuangXiang and was the son of An Guojun. Such a noble status must have been a smooth life at that time, but the reality was the opposite.
Zi Chu's identity did not bring him any benefits in the early stage, but let him fall into a deep quagmire. Zi Chu's father, An Guojun, had a large number of wives and concubines in his lifetime, and there were as many as 20 sons. Zi Chu was the middle of these brothers, plus he did not have outstanding skills, so he was not valued by An Guojun.
During the Warring States period, social unrest was unstable, and wars were common. It is perfectly normal for the seven heroes to compete for supremacy in the world, and for their own interests, sometimes form alliances and sometimes fight wars. And Qin Zhao, as a sworn enemy, is naturally no exception. Under such a background, the unappreciated Zi Chu made protons for sending to Zhao Guo.
Zi Chu's life in the Zhao Kingdom was not good, as a proton many people sneered at him, and his life was also quite poor. The appearance of Lü Buwei changed the fate of Zi Chu, and later directly helped him seize the throne.
Lü Buwei was a wealthy businessman at that time. At that time, Lü Buwei's name was also very popular. The wealthy businessman may have had enough of the life of a rich family and shifted his attention from the mall to politics.
After Lü Buwei learned about Zi Chu's life in the Zhao Kingdom, he tried to get close to Zi Chu. After gaining the trust of Zi Chu, he advised him and recognized An Guojun's favorite concubine as his mother. Zi Chu, who had a firm foothold, soon naturally became the prince.
Second, Lü Buweiqiao sent Zhao Ji
Zhao Ji was originally Lü Buwei's favorite concubine. At a wine banquet, when Zi Chu and Lü Buwei were drinking wine, Zhao Ji was instructed by Lü Buwei to dance and cheer. Zhao Ji was originally as beautiful as a flower, dancing in the song. Zhao Ji's smile touched Zi Chu's heart, and Zi Chu immediately asked Lü Buwei. I hope that Lü Buwei can give Zhao Ji to him, and Lü Buwei also generously agreed.
Zi Chu, who embraced the beauty of the return, was naturally overjoyed. Coupled with the fact that Zhao Ji herself has a wrist, the two have been in a state like glue. Not long after, Zhao Ji became pregnant, and Zhao Ji gave birth to her and Zi Chu's son, Yin Zheng.
After inheriting the throne, Zi Chu knew that everything he had now depended on Lü Buwei's help. After ascending to the throne, Zi Chu appointed Lü Buwei as his chancellor, rewarded him with a fief, and gave Lü Buwei the status and power of one person above ten thousand people.
When Yingzheng was 13 years old, the Prince of Zhuangxiang, Chu, gave up and returned to the west. With the help of Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji, YingZheng successfully succeeded to the throne. Because YingZheng was too young at that time, the power fell into the hands of Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji. It was also the arrogance of these two people that made Yin Zheng keep in mind what they did and gave them a fatal blow.
Third, the mystery of life
As a king, he did not have real power in his hands. However, as a courtier, Lü Buwei could enter and leave the palace at will, and sometimes did not even pay attention to Yingzheng. Lü Buwei's various behaviors made rumors rise in the palace for a while.
Rumors in the palace about Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji's adultery, as well as the fact that Yingzheng was Lü Buwei's child, became more and more outrageous. Naturally, these rumors naturally entered the ears of Yingzheng, and as a king, he naturally could not stand the betrayal of his courtiers. Yin Zheng decided to raise his strength and collect taxes, waiting for the opportunity to kill Lü Buwei.
Due to the uneasy life of her mother Zhao Ji, she became the fuse for Yingzheng to solve Lü Buwei. The restless Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei's protégé Concubine Yi had an affair and gave birth to two children. Originally, Yingzheng planned to turn a blind eye, but the ambition of the wolf actually led the disciples to try to rebel. This move provoked the anger of YingZheng, who ordered the killing of Concubine Yi and grounded Zhao Ji.
Lü Buwei was also implicated in this and was deposed from the position of chancellor by Yingzheng. In addition, Lü Buwei also hung "Lü's Spring and Autumn" on the city gate, threatening that someone could change a word and offer a reward of thousands of gold. However, because people were afraid of Lü Buwei, no one came forward to change. Lü Buwei's various arrogant and arrogant behaviors, Yin Zheng saw the anger in his eyes and in his heart.
Lü Buwei, who was driven to Luoyang by Ying Zheng, did not restrain himself, but became more arrogant. In order to avoid the consequences, Yin Zheng ordered Lü Buwei to be exiled to Shudi and never to re-enter the palace. Perhaps Lü Buwei knew his fate and committed suicide by drinking a dove.
Even so, rumors that Lü Buwei was Yingzheng's biological father persisted. Yin Zheng was angry about this and hated his mother at the same time. Yin Zheng had also doubted his own origins, but no one could give him a positive answer.
Zhao Ji, who was imprisoned in the palace by Yingzheng, was dismal for a moment after losing herself and her two sons, Yan Yi's rebellion and murder, and Lü Buwei's suicide. Yingzheng also allowed Zhao Ji to fend for herself, and before Zhao Ji died, Yingzheng had asked Zhao Ji about her true origins. When Yin Zheng asked himself if he was Lü Buwei's child, Zhao Ji was silent and did not answer to this.
summary
Regarding the life of Qin Shi Huang, there are many opinions in the world, and there is no affirmative and correct statement. However, according to Sima Qian's description in the "Records of History", it is certain that Qin Shi Huang was not a child of Lü Buwei. In addition, according to historical data, Zhao Ji was 14 months pregnant before giving birth to Yingzheng, although this is contrary to human physiological common sense, but it is inferred that Qin Shi Huang was not Lü Buwei's child.
In fact, no matter what the truth is, the merits and historical status of Qin Shi Huang are undeniable. As the founding emperor of China's feudal period, his contribution is indelible. The life of Qin Shi Huang is full of legends, and his life has become a mystery for eternity.
