Qin Shi Huang was the famous first emperor in history, and after he came to power, he successively pacified the Six Kingdoms and established a unified Qin Dynasty. However, the reason why the name of the first emperor of the ages fell on qin shi huang's body was actually a great element of luck, because his father, King Xiang of Qinzhuang, was no weaker than Qin Shi Huang' ability and ambition, and in terms of means and mentality, perhaps King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was better than Qin Shi Huang.
This King Xiang of Qin zhuang was named Yi Yiren, and he was one of the many sons of the Duke of An Guo (King Xiaowen of Qin), and his mother was Xia Ji; in ancient times, it was emphasized that "the son is noble by the mother", which means that the status of the mother is high, and the status and status of the son are naturally high, that is, the distinction between concubines; and if the mother is favored, the son is naturally more loved by the father. However, although An Guo Gong had more than twenty sons, he favored Lady Huayang alone, while Lady Huayang was infertile.
Therefore, these twenty or so sons each rely on their own abilities to win the favor of their fathers; and the young Yingyi people are too ordinary and ordinary, although they will not be hated by An Guogong, but they are definitely not liked, and they belong to the kind that has no sense of existence. Later, he was sent to the Zhao kingdom as a proton (hostage), if the relationship between Qin and Zhao was harmonious, and the life of the Yiyi people was better, as the two most powerful countries at that time, how could the relationship be so good? What's more, during the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi slaughtered more than 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State in one fell swoop.
Therefore, during the time when Yingyi was in the Zhao Kingdom, it was a blank stare and humiliation, and it was the experience of this period that made Yinyi understand the importance of forbearance and power; later, when Lü Buwei found Yingyiren, in fact, Yingyiren was overjoyed in his heart, in order to get Lü Buwei's support, he not only married a concubine, but also promised that if the plan succeeded, he would divide the country as a thank you. After the two reached a political alliance, Lü Buwei began to help the Yi people with all his might.
Not only did he use a lot of financial and material resources to get The Yiyi people back to the Qin State, but also through precise planning, the Yinyi people became the dry sons of Lady Huayang and the heirs of the Duke of Anguo. After the successive deaths of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Xiaowen of Qin (Duke of Anguo), Yi Yiren succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Qin, who was the King of Xiang of Qinzhuang. However, at that time, only The People returning to China were Yingyiren, and both Zhao Ji and XiaoYizheng remained in the Zhao Kingdom, and when King Xiaocheng of Zhao learned that Yingyi had become the new King of Qin, he took the initiative to send Zhao Ji and Xiaoyizheng back to make peace with the Qin State.
Although Yin Yiren became the King of Qin, he did not keep his original promise, and did not give half of the land to Lü Buwei, but only appointed Lü Buwei as Xiang Bang, Fengwen Xinhou, and 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan Province; this Xiang Bang Gui was the head of the hundred officials, and he also had 100,000 households of Yi Yi, which was also a sign of King Xiang of QinZhuang. In fact, King Xiang of Qinzhuang's heart was very clear, other rewards could be given, but the matter of dividing the territory and splitting the land could not be done resolutely, and no inch of Great Qin's land was superfluous.
And after Zhao Ji returned, he was also aware of the dirty things that happened between him and Lü Buwei, but he was too lazy to take care of it, and the humiliating experience during the Zhao State period made him very clear, the so-called family affection and feelings were all vain in the face of power, he wanted supreme power, he wanted to dominate the world; and Lü Buwei was indeed very capable, he needed Lü Buwei's help; in terms of private feelings, Lü Buwei was indeed sorry for King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, but his ability really had nothing to say, and he made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Qin Dynasty, such as the destruction of Eastern Zhou.
How big is the ambition of this Qin Zhuang Xiang King? After the other kings succeeded to the throne, they all had to consolidate their royal power, but King Xiang of Qin zhuang ordered the general Meng Xiao to cut down Han and force Korea to cede Chenggao, Gong and other places, so that the territory of the Qin state extended to the wei capital daliang, and set this place as Sanchuan County; in the second and third years after the succession, he successively ordered Meng Xiao to attack the Zhao state, capturing thirty-seven cities of the Zhao state, including Taiyuan, Yuci, Xincheng and other important towns; and then ordered Meng Xiao to turn to attack the Wei state and seize several important towns.
Unfortunately, just when King Xiang of Qinzhuang was showing his fists, he was only thirty-five years old, and he was in his prime, but he suddenly died strangely, and some people said that Zhao Ji was killed on the orders of Lü Buwei, because although King Xiang of Qinzhuang did not care about Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji's private affairs, he still could not get by on the face, so he wanted to attack Lü Buwei, but he was killed by Zhao Ji. Some people also say that it was King Xiang of Qinzhuang who discovered that Yingzheng was not his own son, so he wanted to depose Yingzheng, and as a result, he was killed by Zhao Ji.
In short, there are many speculations about the death of King Xiang of Qinzhuang, but in any case, King Xiang of Qinzhuang died in regret when he was full of ambition and unrewarded, which also made the Six Kingdoms of Shandong live for more than ten years. Because according to the high life expectancy of Qinzhuang Xiangwang's grandfather and father (Qin Zhaoxiang Wang was 75 years old, Qin Xiaowen Wang was 54 years old), how could Qin Zhuang Xiangwang live for another ten or twenty years, according to the progress of his attack on the world, he had already destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, so it is said that Qin Shi Huang was a bargain to pick up his father.
