To say that Zhao Ji, the mother of Qin Shi Huang, has to start from her husband Qin Yiren. Qin Yiren was an unfortunate person, and more than twenty sons of King Xiaowen of Qin chose him to go to Zhao Guo as a hostage, and he dared to hate but did not dare to speak out, secretly scolding his father and scolding his mother, and after complaining, Zhao Guo still had to go.
Zhang Lu's version of Winning the Government
When they arrived in the Zhao Kingdom, Qin Yi and the prisoners were no different, even if they ate and drank, but in a foreign country, they lost their freedom, and they were white-eyed and snubbed, so they could have the comfort of their own home. At that time, when Qin and Zhao were frequently at war, the situation was even worse. At the most difficult and painful moment of Qin Yiren, a businessman in Zhao Guo saw a business opportunity in him, and this person was Lü Buwei.
When Lü Buwei had money, he wanted to find a political patron, and the appearance of Qin Yiren made him see hope. Once this disgraced prince became the King of Qin, he could not only obtain the supreme status and power, but also obtain countless amounts of money. Thus, a great venture capital program was born.

Investment is risky, please be cautious about participation, businessman Lü Buwei of course knows. He knew that if he wanted to succeed, he would need a meticulous plan, first to gain the trust of Qin Yiren, and then to think of letting Qin Yiren be favored in the Qin Kingdom, and then obtain the status of succession, which sounded like a matter of a few words, but it was really more difficult to operate than to ascend to heaven.
Gaining the trust of Qin Yiren is relatively simple, a life of embarrassment, no one to rely on, some people treat you as a grandfather, play with you, give you money to spend, introduce you to friends, you do not trust who else he trusts. Moreover, people also sent you a daughter-in-law (history says that Lü Buwei gave his pregnant concubine to Qin Yiren), and also gave birth to an emperor of thousands of years, Yingzheng.
Duan Yihong's version of Lü Buwei
After gaining the trust of the yiren, how to let the Qin yiren gain a position in the Qin kingdom, inheriting the throne became the focus. Lü Buwei set his sights on Lady Huayang, and Lü Buwei first bribed Lady Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun, and then met Lady Huayang through Yang Quanjun. He sent a lot of rare treasures to Lady Huayang, and said to Lady Huayang, you are now young and beautiful, and you are deeply liked by An Guojun, but have you ever thought about what to do when you are old, and you have no dependence? I think the alien is not bad, if you make him the heir, he will be grateful to you when he returns to China in the future, and he will be able to become your dependence. Lady Huayang listened to Lü Buwei's words and felt that it made sense, and soon made a stranger her heir.
But at this critical moment, an unexpected thing happened. In 257 BC, King Zhao of Qin sent Wang Yi (yǐ) to besiege Handan, and Zhao Guo was so angry that he wanted to kill the Yiren. Lü Buwei was in a hurry, paid money to buy officials, helped the yiren escape back to the Qin state, and found ways to ensure the lives of Zhao Ji and Yin Zheng.
Soon, An Guojun inherited the throne, but died of illness only a year later, and the yiren naturally inherited the throne, Zhao Ji became the empress, and Lü Buwei became the chancellor of the Qin state, and was named the Marquis of Wenxin, with a hundred thousand households.
After Yiren (King Zhuang Xiang) succeeded to the throne, Zhao Ji became the empress dowager, and Yin Zheng became the crown prince. Sensing Zhao Ji's adulterous affair with Lü Buwei, yiren was very angry and wanted to get rid of Lü Buwei. After Lü Buwei knew, the dog jumped the wall and poisoned the inhuman with poison, and The 13-year-old Ying Zheng stepped onto the stage of history.
Concubine Yi in "Great Qin Fu"
When Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, he was only 13 years old, and the state administration was naturally controlled by Lü Buwei, who did not pay attention to Yingzheng at all, and often secretly had affairs with Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. As Yingzheng grew up, Lü Buwei was afraid that the matter would be revealed and implicated him, so he secretly sought out a person with a large penis called Yan Yi, let Yan Yi turn the wheel with his penis, and tried to let the empress dowager know in order to seduce the empress. After the empress dowager knew about it, she really wanted to take concubines for herself. So Lü Buwei ordered someone to sue Concubine Yi, saying that Concubine Yi had committed the crime of palace punishment, and then said to the empress dowager, you let him pretend to be tortured, let him serve you. When the empress dowager heard this, she ordered someone to only pluck off her beard and serve her. They spent all day in the palace looking for fun, who knew that Zhao Ji was pregnant, Zhao Ji was afraid that people would know, so they lied that this place was unlucky, so they moved to the Yong Palace.
In the ninth year of Qin Shi Huang (238 BC), someone denounced Chang Yi as not a eunuch, often had adultery with the empress, and had two children, claiming that if the King of Qin died, they would let their sons take the throne. When Qin Shi Huang learned of this, he ordered a strict investigation, and after investigating the facts, it was related to Lü Buwei. When Yan Yi learned that the matter had been leaked, she stole the imperial seals of the empress dowager and the King of Qin, and mobilized the county guards and palace guards to attack the Palace of the King of Qin. The King of Qin ordered Xiangguo Changpingjun and Changwenjun to launch a Xianyang soldier attack Yan Yi, who was defeated and was divided by the prince's five horses, exterminated the three tribes, and killed his two sons born to the empress dowager, and moved the empress dowager to live in Yongdi. Soon, Lü Buwei was also relieved of his position as Xiangbang.
In the nineteenth year of Qin Shi Huang, that is, in 228 BC, Zhao Ji died. Qin Shi Huang posthumously honored his mother Zhao Ji as "Empress Dowager" and buried Heryang (芷阳) with Chu, the concubine of King Xiang of Qinzhuang.
As the mother of the Emperor of the Ages, Zhao Ji, she has never been able to control her own destiny, from lü Buwei to her husband, to Yan Yi's mistress, and then to the final move to Yongdi by Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Ji's fate has always been controlled by others, and at best it is only a tool for the interests of all parties.
