Recently, the historical theme TV series "Great Qin Fu", starring Zhang Luyi, Duan Yihong, Li Naiwen, Zhu Zhu, Xin Baiqing and Wu Junmei, is being broadcast. "Great Qin Fu" is the final chapter of the Great Qin series, the whole drama uses the artistic technique of grand narrative to tell the story of Qin Shi Huang's YingZheng sweeping the Six Kingdoms and unifying the world with the assistance of Lü Buwei, Li Si, Wang Qi, Meng Tian and Meng Yi.
For the TV series "Great Qin Fu", the protagonist of the first half, Lü Buwei can be described as unyielding. For Lü Buwei, he was originally a businessman from the Wei Country. When I came to Handan, the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, I happened to meet a Yi yiren who was a proton in the Zhao Kingdom. As a result, Lü Buwei thought that the Yiyi people could be described as strange goods to live in, so he not only helped him return to the Qin Kingdom, but also gradually supported him to ascend to the throne of the Monarch of the Qin State.
Of course, as a businessman, Lü Buwei naturally attaches great importance to returns. After a great effort, Lü Buwei became the chancellor of the Qin state after king Xiang of Qin zhuang ascended the throne. It is worth noting that after the Qin Emperor Yingzheng ascended the throne, Lü Buwei's official position changed from Xiang Bang to Xiang Bang, that is, what everyone called Xiang Bang. So, the question is, in the costume TV series "Great Qin Fu", Lü Buwei first served as a minister and then became a xiangbang, what is the difference between the two?
One
First of all, in the costume TV series "Great Qin Fu", Lü Buwei's official position changes are completely in line with the historical situation.
Sima Qian's gentleman love in the "Records of History": The King of Qin was established for one year, Xue, and he was the King of Xiaowen. The crown prince Chu Daili was the Prince of Zhuangxiang. Empress Dowager Huayang, the mother of King Zhuang Xiang, became Empress Dowager Huayang. In the first year of the reign of King Zhuang Xiang, Lü Buwei was made the Prince of Wenxin and the Marquis of Wenxin, eating 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan.
After the death of King Xiaowen of Qin, Zi Chu succeeded to the throne as King Xiang of Qinzhuang. King Zhuang Xiang honored The Queen of Huayang as his mother, Empress Huayang, and her birth mother Xia Ji was honored as Empress Xia. In 249 BC (the first year of King Zhuangxiang), Lü Buwei was appointed as the Minister of Xiang and made him the Marquis of Wenxin, with 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan as his food. For Lü Buwei, he initially held the position of minister of state.
"History": King Zhuang Xiang reigned for three years, Xue, the crown prince zhengli became king, and Zun Lü Buwei was made Xiangguo (相邦), known as "Zhongfu".
King Xiang of Qin died three years after he ascended the throne, and the crown prince Yingzheng succeeded him as king, honoring Lü Buwei as Xiangbang and calling him "Zhongfu". For Lü Buwei, the official position he later held was Xiangbang. As far as Xiang Bang was concerned, because of avoiding Liu Bang's name, it was later called Xiang Guo. However, during the Warring States period, Xiang Bang obviously did not need to avoid Liu Bang's name.
For both the Chancellor and the Xiang State, they can be called the Prime Minister, responsible for assisting the monarch in handling the affairs of the dynasty. Of course, in terms of status, Xiangbang is slightly higher than Xiangxiang.
On the one hand, as far as xiangbang is concerned, according to the "Records of History", the first to set up a phase in the early years of the Warring States were the princely states such as the Three Jins. Subsequently, other countries also placed phases. The name Xiangbang is only found in bronze inscriptions, such as the Zhao Kingdom, which has the inscription of "Xiangbang Chunping Marquis". For Xiangbang, the time of appearance is before xiangxiang. Especially for the Qin state, it was first established xiang state, and then set up xiang.

For the State of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin established the Xiang State in 334 BC, and the first Xiang State of the State of Qi was Qi You. 樛斿(?) －？ ), MingXu (名斿), a figure of the Middle Warring States period. In the fourth year of King Huiwen of Qin (334 BC), King Xianwang of Tianzi zhou gave It to King Wenwu of Qin Huiwen. The State of Qin newly established the official position of Xiang State, and Fan Yi served as the first Xiang State.
"History, Volume 70, Zhang Yi Lie Biography No. 10": King Hui took Zhang Yi as his portrait and changed his name to Shaoliang Yue Xia Yang. Yi Xiangqin was four years old, and King Lihui was king. Ju is one year old, for the Qin general, take Shaanxi. Chikugami Gunseki.
After yu you, King Huiwen of Qin crowned Zhang Yi as the second Xiang State of the Qin State. For Zhang Yi, in her early years, she entered the ghost valley and learned the art of vertical and horizontal. After leaving the mountains, he pioneered the strategy of "lianheng" and lobbied the six kingdoms to enter Qin. He was appreciated by King Huiwen of Qin, was enfeoffed as Xiangguo, and was ordered to send envoys to lobby various countries, to break the "vertical" with "horizontal", so as to promote the goodwill of all countries to the Qin state and be named Wuxinjun. Therefore, it is very obvious that during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, the State of Qin was able to continuously encroach on the territory of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and Zhang Yi, the Zongheng family, was indispensable. Therefore, although Zhang Yi was a foreigner, he still obtained the position of Xiangbang. For the State of Qin, Xiangbang was undoubtedly an official position under one person and above ten thousand people.

On the other hand, after the death of King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu of Qin established the post of Chancellor. Although the status of Xiang Bang was slightly lower than that of Xiang Bang, King Wu of Qin's move was obviously to divide up the power of Xiang Bang in order to achieve the effect of checks and balances. King Wu of Qin was born in the ninth year of King Hui of Qin (329 BC) and was the son of King Huiwen of Qin and Queen Huiwen of Qin. In the fourteenth year of the reign of King Huiwen of Qin (311 BC), King Huiwen of Qin ascended the throne as King Wu of Qin.
King Wu of Qin was a very ambitious man, and he saw that the six kingdoms of Shandong had established the posts of Xiang Bang and Xiang Guo, so in order to make a difference, he officially established the post of Xiang Xiang. According to the records of historical materials such as the "Chronicle of History" and the "Warring States Policy", in the second year of King Wu of Qin (309 BC), King Wu of Qin set up the official position of Chancellor in the Qin State, set up one person on each side of the Left and Right Ministers, and appointed Gan Mao as the Minister and General of the Commandery, and Li Li as the Right Minister. For the position of chancellor established by King Wu of Qin, it was not only used in the history of the Qin state, but also throughout the entire ancient history, the chancellor was a relatively common official position. For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, celebrities such as Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang served as ministers.
After King Wu of Qin established the post of Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang and Xiang Bang (相国) still coexisted. Therefore, for Lü Buwei, he first served as the chancellor after King Xiang of Qinzhuang ascended the throne. Later, after the Qin King Yingzheng took the throne, Lü Buwei was promoted to Xiangbang, which was undoubtedly a power tilt. Because there is still a left and right division between xiang and xiang, and there is no left and right xiang state in xiang state, this allows Lü Buwei to hold the power of the Qin dynasty for a long time. Of course, it was precisely because he had been in charge of the government for a long time that Xiang bang Lü Buwei naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Qin king Yingzheng.

Finally, in 238 BC (the ninth year of the reign of the King of Qin), someone reported that Concubine Yi was not actually a eunuch, and even gave birth to two sons with Empress Dowager Zhao, hiding them and conspiring with Empress Zhao to say that "if the King of Qin dies, this son will succeed to the throne." Therefore, The Qin king Yin Zheng sent people to find out the truth of the matter, and the matter implicated Xiang Bang Lü Buwei. In September of that year, The King of Qin, Yingzheng, killed all three members of the Yan Yi family, killed the two sons born to the empress dowager, and moved empress dowager Zhao to live in Yongdi.
In October 237 BC (the tenth year of the reign of the Qin Dynasty), Yingzheng removed Lü Buwei from his position as Xiangbang. It was not until Mao Jiao of Qi persuaded the King of Qin that the King of Qin went to Yongdi to greet Empress Zhao and return her to Xianyang, but the Qin king Still sent Lü Buwei out of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state, to his fiefdom in Henan.
It is worth noting that after the Qin King Yingzheng deposed Lü Buwei from the position of Xiang state, he temporarily left this official position vacant. For example, in 221 BC, after Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Dynasty, The highest official position of Li Si and others was only Xiang Xiang, and no one served as a more prominent Xiang State. As far as the Chancellor is concerned, the Qin Dynasty's Cheng Xiang was originally divided into left Cheng Xiang and Right Cheng Xiang. However, during the Hu Hai period of Qin II, the Qin Dynasty added the post of Zhongxiang Xiang, and at this time, the three ministers of left, middle and right existed at the same time. After Li Si was killed, Zhao Gao assumed the position of Zhongcheng Chancellor, which gave him power to the opposition, referring to deer as horses. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and still set up the Xiangguo, while the Xiangxiang was still the deputy of the Xiangguo. From the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, xiangbang (相国) gradually disappeared, and xiangxiang existed for a long time. What do you think about that?
