Lü Buwei, who was born in Qin, was the grandson of Qin since he was a child, and with his intelligence and wit, he became a famous politician in Qin at that time, not only in the officialdom of Qin, but also famous in the Seven Kingdoms because of the strong rise of Qin.
It can be said that he was one of the greatest statesmen in the history of the Qin State and contributed to the rise of the Qin State.
However, with the rise of the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of the Qin Dynasty also became more and more corrupt and perverted, and Qin Shi Huang, as the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was also a very corrupt emperor, and his degree of decay was more serious than that of the previous princes of the Qin State.
During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, he not only destroyed the morality and ethics of Qin, but also corrupted the political style of Qin, which also made the people of Qin very hostile to Qin Shi Huang.
However, even though Qin Shi Huang is a very corrupt emperor, there are some good things in his life, and one of the most beautiful things is his mother Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji also has his other half, he is Chang Yu.
So why was Chang Yu sent to Zhao Ji's side, and how did Chang Yu get out?
1. The fate of Chang Yu.
Chang Yu's name does not appear in the biography of Qin Shi Huang, but it is recorded in the history books that Chang Yu was the private lover of Qin Shi Huang's mother, Zhao Ji.
At that time, in order to let his concubine be favored by Qin Shihuang like Zhao Ji, Lü Buwei designed to have a relationship between them, and then let Chang Yu be Zhao Ji's lover, so Chang Yu had the shadow of Lü Buwei on his body.
How did Lü Buwei make Chang Yu become Zhao Ji's lover?
Once upon a time, there was a man named Chang Yu, who was not only handsome, but also possessed a special skill, which was the cry of a baby.
Chang Yu's voice is very good, but he can't sing, but the baby's cry is as good as when he sings, and even surpasses it, so every time he appears in front of people, there will be many people around him to watch.
However, Chang Yu didn't like this feeling of onlookers, because every time he showed up, he would attract a large group of onlookers, which made him very annoying, but he had no choice but to endure it while trying to escape from this environment, so he thought of taking refuge in the powerful.
Chang Yu began to look around for opportunities to escape from this environment, and then take refuge in the powerful, but he didn't find a suitable place for a long time, so after a long time, he didn't find a suitable place, and he was still chased by a large group of people, which made him very anxious.
At this time, Chang Yu heard the name of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, so he prepared to go to Lü Buwei, but he was worried that his reputation was not big enough, and Lü Buwei would not accept him as an apprentice.
So, he was going to prove his worth with his stunts when he saw Lü Buwei, so he met with Lü Buwei, and then showed Lü Buwei his stunts.
Since then, Chang Yu has become Lü Buwei's protégé and has been carefully taught by Lü Buwei, and Chang Yu has also been favored by the Qin Palace because of Lü Buwei's relationship.
In the palace of the king of Qin, there is a concubine named Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace of Qin, and Qin Shi Huang is also very fond of Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was originally a concubine received by Lü Buwei, but she did not get the favor of Qin Shi Huang.
So for Zhao Ji, being able to have a son with Qin Shi Huang is even a guarantee, so Zhao Ji found Lü Buwei and asked Lü Buwei to help her find a way to have a son with Qin Shi Huang.
Lü Buwei thought of the protégé Chang Yu who he had received before, although Chang Yu was useless, but he had a good mouth, so he let Chang Yu become Zhao Ji's lover and help Zhao Ji and Qin Shi Huang have a son, so that Zhao Ji could be as favored as Qin Shi Huang.
So, Chang Yu became Zhao Ji's lover, and this unruly love began, and the relationship between Chang Yu and Zhao Ji became deeper and deeper, but Chang Yu never thought that his unruly love would eventually end.
Zhao Ji and Qin Shi Huang also gave birth to a son with the help of Chang Yu, and this son is Qin Shi Huang, so Qin Shi Huang is also very grateful to Chang Yu, but he didn't know that Chang Yu and Zhao Ji had such an unruly love.
However, after getting drunk, Chang Yu told his relationship with Zhao Ji, Qin Shi Huang was very angry after hearing it, so he sentenced Chang Yu to death, and Zhao Ji was also beaten into the cold palace by Qin Shi Huang because of Chang Yu's affairs, that is, Qin Shi Huang's eunuch guardian Zhao Ji.
2. Human nature is changeable.
Chang Yu's fate reflects that no matter how good his charm and special skills are, he can't match the power of power, but how did Lü Buwei get out?
Although Lü Buwei is a famous politician, his temperament is very cowardly, so after the death of Qin Shi Huang, he began to suffer from the disease of worrying about the country and the people, but he has nothing to do, after all, he does not have any power in his hands now.
However, Lü Buwei's worries about the country and the people were used by later generations, he was Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu wanted to overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty, so he used Lü Buwei's temperament to deceive Lü Buwei, saying that he wanted to get rid of Qin Shihuang's bad government for the Qin State and avenge the people.
So, Lü Buwei believed Xiang Yu's words and helped Xiang Yu overthrow the Qin Dynasty, but after Xiang Yu became the king of Chu, Lü Buwei did not get any benefits, and Xiang Yu also wanted to kill Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei thought of his protégé Chang Yu, so he found Chang Yu and asked Chang Yu to show his skills, and then sent Chang Yu to Xiang Yu's side, so that Chang Yu became Xiang Yu's lover, and helped Xiang Yu attract the attention of King Yan in Yan Kingdom and escaped.
But for Lü Buwei's approach, some people will also say that Lü Buwei is a bad villain, but for historical figures, we should look at them with a tolerant heart, and we can't simply judge a person by being good or bad.
Because good and evil are very subjective, we can't judge ancient people by our own values, many times, what ancient people did, we seemed to be good, but at that time it was meaningless, in the same way, we saw things that were vicious, but at that time they had their meaning.
Therefore, we should tolerate the complex emotions and motivations of ancient characters, and we cannot simply characterize them with one sentence.
epilogue
Chang Yu can be said to be a person with very special skills in ancient times, but he did not have a good ending, which also reflects that no matter how good the charm is, it can't match the power of power, so we should cherish our ordinary happiness.
