"History of Qin Benji": "In the first year of King ZhuangXiang's reign, he pardoned sinners, and was a meritorious servant of the Xiuxian King, and shi de was thick and generous to the people. The Eastern Zhou Emperor conspired with the princes to qin, and Qin envoyed the xiangguo Lü Buwei to enter his country. King Xiang of Qinzhuang, who was considered by many people in later generations to be ruined, did not expect that his life would be so brilliant, although he was not the favorite prince of King Xiaowen of Qin, but his success was no accident.
King Xiang of Qinzhuang, also known as King Zhuang of Qinzhuang, surnamed Zhao, he was called Yiren, and later changed his name to Zi Chu, the son of King Xiaowen of Qin, the father of Qin Shi Huang, and the monarch of the State of Qin at the end of the Warring States period. When King Xiang of Qin zhuang was still in the world, no one cared about the stranger, and neither he nor his mother Xia Ji was loved by his father. The conditions of food, clothing, shelter and transportation are much worse than those of other princes. At that time, the relationship between the Qin state and the Zhao state was very bad, in order to ease the contradictions and relations between the two countries, King Xiaowen of Qin decided to send the most unpopular alien to the Zhao state and become a hostage of the Zhao state.

As a hostage of the State of Zhao, even if he came to the State of Zhao as the Prince of Qin, the monarch of the State of Zhao did not like this alien very much, and he was relatively cold to him, and the life of the stranger in Handan was not good. When he was in his own country, as a shizi, he was not welcomed by King Xiaowen of Qin, not to mention the Zhao kingdom, and a shizi without identity and status was only treated coldly when he arrived in the Zhao kingdom of Handan. Because the State of Qin repeatedly attacked Zhao, the life of the strangers in the State of Zhao was very difficult. At this time, there was a great merchant named Lü Buwei who knew about his situation, and Lü Buwei, who was quite politically far-sighted and business-minded, thought that the stranger was a "strange commodity to live in", and decided to make a risky investment, and he almost gave all his family property to support the young prince.
How could the stranger not have imagined that a businessman he met in the market, who had nothing to do with him, would actually think of investing in him. The stranger did not expect that this businessman had the communication ability of a lover, and he applied his business skills to communication and networking. He became close friends with Yiren, and spared no expense to build connections for him, Lü Buwei used heavy money to buy off Lady Huayang, who was favored by King Xiaowen of Qin, and although this Lady Huayang was the favorite concubine of King Xiaowen of Qin, she never gave birth to a son, just as Lü Buwei, through Lady Huayang's sister, lobbied Lady Huayang that if there was a son, his position could be preserved and his worries were relieved.

Lady Huayang felt that this was a good proposal, accepted Lü Buwei's heavy gold, and instead lobbied king Xiaowen of Qin to make King Xiaowen of Qin make a stranger as the crown prince, and King Xiaowen of Qin agreed to Lady Huayang's request, and Lü Buwei was quite scheming, in order to make the stranger win the favor of Lady Huayang, because Lady Huayang was a Native of Chu, so Lü Buwei asked the stranger to change his name to Zichu. Zi Chu became the son of Lady Huayang. As a result, the inhuman jumped from an unpopular son to become the focus of everyone's attention, making the inhuman really a little flattered, and the driving force behind all this was Lü Buwei.
After gaining power, Zi Chu seems to have the momentum of a prince, and he has more confidence in speaking and doing things than before, because of Lü Buwei's relationship, he and Lü Buwei have a good relationship, often going in and out of Lü Buwei's mansion, and at a party with Lü Buwei, the stranger took a fancy to One of Lü Buwei's favorite concubines, this pet concubine was called Zhao Ji, born enchanting, and Zi Chu liked this woman very much, so he asked Lü Buwei to offer Zhao Ji to him. "Lü Buwei took the Handan Zhuji who was absolutely good at dancers and juju, and knew that he had a body. Zi Chu never drank, saw and said, because of the life, please. Lü Buwei was angry, nianye had broken up the family as a son, and wanted to fish for qi, so he sacrificed his wife. Ji hid himself, and when he reached the age of the greatest period, he gave birth to a son. Zi Chu made Ji his wife.

Interestingly, Zi Chu died as suddenly as his father. He had only been on the throne for three years before he died. Some people say about his death that Lü Buwei poisoned King ZhuangXiang to death, but this is only speculation of posterity, and there is no basis for it. Some people also believe that Zi Chu died of indulgence, because Zhao Ji is a person with a strong personality, but no matter which way of saying it, we can't come up with a prepared answer.
