introduction
The "Records of History" recorded: "In 238 BC, the government performed the crown ceremony. He rebelled and finally died. ”
It was nothing more than a chess piece introduced by Lü Buwei into the harem to the delight of Zhao Ji, the mother of the King of Qin.
No one expected that Concubine would later cause civil unrest.
Qiu Yi and Zhao Ji
Whether it is Zhao Ji or Concubine, in Lu Buwei's eyes, it is just a "treasure" or "goods" that lures others.
All along, Lu Buwei has been dealing with political issues with a business eye.
It's just that he didn't expect that after Zhao Ji was favored, he would not only make a marquis and make trouble, but also let Zhao Ji be willing to bear a son for him.
The heart gradually expanded, and even twisted, and finally embarked on the road of rebellion, and was suppressed by the government and was in a different place.
What is the charm of Lu Buwei, who is regarded as a "cargo"? Actually made Zhao Ji so addicted?
Sima Qian revealed the mystery in the "History".

First, from being a bargaining chip to fighting back Zhao Ji had to lose Jia people
Sima Qian wrote in the "Records of History" about "Yi Lü winning".
There are two differences in the origin of the government.
The "History of the First Emperor of Qin" records as follows: "King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, the son of Qin, drank freely with Lü Buwei of the Jia people, saw his Ji Yue, Lü Buwei gave it, and the first emperor was born." The first emperor was born in the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. ”
The "Biography of Lü Buweilie" records as follows: "Zichu drank with Wei, see Lü Buwei Ji Yue." Lü Buwei gave birth to Ji, and Ji gave birth to a son. ”
There are two theories about the "big period" in historical sources.
One can be understood as full-term, the other as December said.
Therefore, according to the "Biography of Lü Buwei", when Lü Buwei offered Zhao Ji to Zichu, Zhao Ji was pregnant.
In any case, King Huanzheng of Qin eventually went down in history as the first emperor for unifying China, while his mother Zhao Ji was nailed to the pillar of shame for her fornication.
Ying Zheng's mother, Zhao Ji, is from Handan.
Originally born into a wealthy family and naturally beautiful, he became a prostitute, and was later included in the back room by Jia Ren Lu Buwei.
Later, Lü Buwei offered Zhao Ji to Chu, the Prince of Qin Zhuang.
Prince Chu of Qin Zhuang died three years after his accession to the throne, and after that, Zhao Ji's mother and son became tools and chips for Lü Buwei to expand his political ambitions.

At that time, Ying Zheng was still a child who did not yet understand personnel, and Zhao Ji had no foundation in the Qin state, and his power could be deprived at any time.
The "History" once recorded: "In the twelve years of Hui Gong, the son was born of the son." Two years after the birth of the son, welcome the dedication of the father, and kill the son and the mother. ”
In order to avoid the sidelining of power, and more importantly, to save their lives, Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei stood on the united front.
On the one hand, Zhao Ji encircled Lu Buwei with high-ranking officials; On the other hand, she seduces him with hue.
"Shiji Lü Buwei Liebiography once recorded: "Empress Dowager Zhao Ji fornicated with the kingdom of Lü Buwei. ”
In order to emphasize the great relationship between the two, Sima Qian also deliberately used the word "time" to emphasize, which shows his contempt and ridicule for the relationship between the two.

With the title of Xiangguo, Lü Buwei's power in the Qin State became more and more powerful.
Because of the ambiguous relationship between him and Zhao Ji, rumors spread within the Qin Kingdom.
In order to weaken Lü Buwei's power, Zhao Ji became increasingly alienated from him.
Lü Buwei naturally did not want to give up the big tree of the Empress Dowager, so he asked his guest house concubine to pretend to be a eunuch and enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager.
"Warring States Policy Wei Ce IV" describes such a situation: "Qin Zi within the four realms, large and small official positions, must first 'and concubine'? With Lu Shihu? ’”。

In order to obtain Concubine, Zhao Ji also used a dark box operation, she gave gifts to the officials, and asked them to pretend to cure Concubine's sins.
In the end, Concubine Yi was stripped of her male appearance and entered the palace as a eunuch to fornicate with the Empress Dowager of Qin.
Since she entered the palace, she was promoted by Zhao Ji, and her status rose rapidly, and she soon rose from the former subordinate relationship with Lu Buwei to the point of confrontation.
Lu Buwei finally saw the situation clearly, and could only retreat to the second place, enjoying the glory and saving his life.
At this time, Concubine Yi became Zhao Ji's exclusive favor.
As recorded in the "Chronicle": "Private and concubines, never love." ”
Lu Buwei
After settling Lü Buwei, Zhao Ji finally secured the position of empress dowager, and also indirectly stabilized her son's imperial power.
Perhaps because of the years of fighting, emotions have been suppressed, and after Zhao Ji got the concubine, she actually lost all her ability to discriminate.
In the past, her power could still have dealings with Lu Buwei.
After getting the concubine, Zhao Ji can be said to be deeper and deeper, until she stepped on the red line of the victorious government.
"Shiji Qin Shi Huang Benji" recorded: "The Empress Dowager made Concubine the Marquis of Changxin, and everything was decided by Concubine." ”
Who is Qiu Yi? Is it so attractive?

2. From Sacrifice to Rebellion The following offenders were cracked by cars
The "History of Lü Buwei" mentions: "Lü Buwei asked the great yin people to sacrifice people, and sometimes indulged in pleasure." Concubine with a wheel, flattering the Empress Dowager also. ”
Although the empress dowager is shown by Qiu Yise, this description is quite exaggerated.
The reason why Sima Qian used such a creative technique may also imply the reason why Zhao Ji was obsessed with concubines.
In addition, it is also recorded in the "Records of the Eastern Zhou and Lieguo": "Qin custom: After the end of agricultural affairs, the country advocated music and festival its labor." ”
Concubine was known for her special abilities, which pleased Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.
Perhaps because her emotions have been suppressed for many years, Zhao Ji has since plunged into a swamp and cannot extricate herself.

It is recorded in the "History of Lü Buwei": "The Empress Dowager gave the concubine land, and everything was decided by the concubine. ”
Not only that, Zhao Ji also renamed Taiyuan County in Hexi to the Kingdom of Qiu.
Under the nourishment of Zhao Ji's emotions and the watering of glory and wealth, his selfish desires are swelling day by day.
The "History of the First Emperor of Qin" recorded: "What the Empress Dowager did, she always followed, and the Empress Dowager rewarded her very richly." ”
In addition, there are also a huge number of household servants, as well as countless people asking for and concubines.
As her status continued to rise, she took advantage of the emotional entanglement with Zhao Ji to constantly demand wealth and power.
Zhao Ji was coaxed by Concubine Yi, and even risked losing national courtesy to give birth to two sons for Concubine.
At this time, Qiu Yi held power and had tens of thousands of family wealth.
The empress dowager of the Qin State also gave birth to two sons for her, and her heart was already crazy to the limit.
Concubine and Zhao Ji in film and television dramas
Once, after getting drunk, she actually said her inner thoughts to everyone: "I am the false father of the King of Qin, who dares to be with me!" ”
Since Zhao Ji gave birth to a son for Concubine, Concubine Yi actually planned with him: "Huan Zheng Ruoxue, take the son as the queen." ”
In his view, if Ying Zheng died, his son could naturally replace Ying Zheng as king.
In 238 BC, Concubine took advantage of the crown ceremony and waited for an opportunity to cause chaos.
The crown ceremony was a great gift for the monarch in ancient times, and after the ceremony, the monarch could be pro-government.
But since he sat on the throne until the crown ceremony, he had not been pro-government.

According to historical records, the Qin system stipulates: "The twenty-line crown ceremony in the year of a man can also be as early as eighteen years old." ”
However, when he performed the crown ceremony, he was already 22 years old.
In the past, Lu Buwei, the father of the powerful family, had been dragging and did not crown Yingzheng.
Therefore, the crowning ceremony of the victory is a very important milestone in his life.
According to the "Records of History", Ying Zheng had long known about the ugly deeds of Concubine Yi and his mother, but he had been holding back.
On April 238 BC, Ying Zheng completed his coronation ceremony and was resting at the Yongcheng Palace.
Taking advantage of Huan Zheng's absence in Xianyang, he took the jade seal of Huan Zheng and the seal of the Empress Dowager, and immediately gathered soldiers and prepared to attack the Xiaonian Palace.
"Shiji Qin Shi Huang Benji" Yun: "Wang Zhizhi, ordered Xiangguo Changpingjun and Changwen Jun to attack and attack to control their chaos." ”
In order to prevent the Xianyang Palace from being ill-prepared, before going to Yongcheng, Huan Zheng also ordered the general Wang Yi to "show his troops for three days".
Subsequently, the two armies fought fiercely in Xianyang.
In the end, Ying Zheng quickly quelled the rebellion and subsequently eradicated the Qiu clique.
The "History of the First Emperor of Qin" has a detailed record of the war: "Changping Jun and Changwen Jun sent pawns to attack and did their best. More than twenty generals who rebelled with him were all beheaded. ”
In the end, the house was torn apart by the car.
For the two half-brothers, Ying Zheng is even more "culled".

At that time, someone advised Ying Zheng's subordinates to show mercy.
Ying Zheng angrily ordered: "Those who give advice to the queen of the eunuch, kill them, and this is the back." ”
In the end, dozens of people died because of the assassination of his brother.
According to the "Records of History": "In September, the three tribes of Yi Yi killed the two sons of Yi Yi, and there were no people in Yi She. ”
Although Ying Zheng did not kill her mother, he still moved her to Yongcheng.
III. From Anger to Soberness Ying Zheng is the mother of Jiang Shan
Ying Zheng, who was angered by Concubine, never stopped.
It was not until Qi Ren Mao Jiao risked death to enter the court, especially about the stability of Jiangshang's throne, that Ying Zheng finally changed his mind and welcomed the Empress Dowager back to the palace again.
Mao Jiao analyzed: "His Majesty broke the false father out of jealousy, and it was not a merciful act to kill the two sons of the concubine. Moving his mother to Xianyang is suspected of unfilial piety. Tribulus terrestris is even more rueful. When the people of the world heard about it, no one turned to Qin when it collapsed. ”
The first three reasons for Mao Jiao's analysis, Ying Zheng did not care.
However, if there is no one in the world to Qin, he can only eat the fruit of disintegration.
Considering the Jiangshan community, Huan Zheng finally welcomed his mother Zhao Ji back.
Although Zhao Ji was still nominally the empress dowager of the Qin State, both the power in her hands and the relationship with the mother and son of Ying Zheng had disappeared.
The position of the Empress Dowager was only a decoration of the Qin State, and from then on, she was even more the same as her son Yingzheng.
In 228 BC, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of the State of Qin died of depression.

epilogue
Since her acquaintance with Lü Buwei, Empress Dowager Qin has been objectified as a tool for power climbing.
Although Zhao Ji briefly had supreme power after Yingzheng came to the throne, he still needed to worry about his status at all times.
Until Zhao Ji fornicated with Lu Buwei, his power gradually became stable.
After he was concubined, he indulged day and night, losing the example of the motherly world.
Sima Qian's description of the cause of Zhao Ji's obsession with concubines in the "Records of History" is exaggerated, but it still cannot cover up the sinister and cunning of concubines.
If Zhao Ji is attached to Lu Buwei Yinli, then his obsession with Concubine is due to lust.
In the end, Zhao Ji was severely dealt with by Ying Zheng because of her addiction, indulgence, loss of manners, and fornication because of desire.
