From the moment of power to the suicide of the duck, Lü Buwei lost himself in the pursuit of power

Lü Buwei successfully counterattacked from a merchant to a major vassal of the Qin state, not only for the Qin state, but also for the father and son of the Qin king Yingzheng. However, in the end, he ended up drinking and committing suicide. "Why did Jun owe it to Qin?" Qin Fengjun Henan, eating 100,000 households. Why is Jun he pro-Qin? Known as the middle father. The focus here is not on Lü Buwei's merits and demerits, but on his encroachment on the power that should have belonged to the King of Qin and did not let go, and the inherent desire for power among the ruling class was the source of the conflict between Lü Buwei and the Qin King, and also laid the tragic end for Lü Buwei.

Let's first analyze the question "What merit does Jun owe to Qin?" In the "Benji of Qin Shi Huang", almost all the major events before the yingzheng and pro-government have the shadow of Lü Buwei. During his reign, the State of Qin continued the strong pace of expansion during the reign of King Qin Zhao:

In 249 BC (the first year of King Zhuangxiang), Lü Buwei personally led an army to destroy Eastern Zhou, and since then the last branch of the Zhou royal family has also been eliminated and incorporated into the Qin state; in the same year, the general Meng Xiao was sent to lead an army to attack Han, obtain important cities leading to the six kingdoms of Shandong: Chenggao and Xingyang, establish Sanchuan County, and obtain such an important place for soldiers to compete and set up county administration, which is of great economic and strategic significance;

In 248 BC, Meng Xiao continued to lead his army to the east, capturing the Wei state of Gaodu and Bo, as well as the thirty-seven cities of Yuci, Xincheng, and Wolf Meng in the Zhao state;

In 247 BC, Qin sent the general Wang Gong to attack Han Shangdang, and at the same time, Meng Xiao led an army to attack Jinyang, and established Taiyuan County with the thirty-seven cities of Wolf Meng and Taiyuan and Jinyang;

In 245 BC, Qin attacked the State of Wei (北), the former wucheng north of Henan;

In 244, he also gained Wei's fame and cunning; in the same year, the Qin general Meng Xiao led an army to capture the thirteen cities of Korea.

In 242 BC, Qin captured the twenty cities of Wei's Acid Jujube and Changping and established Dong Commandery (東郡).

The following year, Qin attacked Chaoge and destroyed Wei;

In 241 AD, the five kingdoms of Han Zhao, Wei, Chu yan jointly attacked Qin, and Later Qin attacked Zhao Guolong, Gu, Qingdu, and Wei Guohe;

In 238 BC, the Qin general Yang Ruihe captured the Wei state of Shouyuan, Pu, and Yan. The State of Qin used force to crush the eastern states with the power of destruction and decay, and from then on it could no longer be reconciled, only to wait for it to be gradually eaten away by Qin.

Therefore, it is obviously not true to say that Lü Buwei "he contributed to Qin".

Looking at "Jun He is close to Qin", it is not an exaggeration to say that Lü Buwei is the benefactor of the Yingzheng family. It was he who pushed Sun Qin Yiren, the impoverished king of the Qin state on the streets of Handan, to the position of crown prince step by step, helping him escape from Handan and return to the Qin state to inherit the throne at the moment of a thousand guns. Therefore, no matter what the purpose of Lü Buwei's story through "strange goods can be lived", he changed the trajectory of The Life of The Stranger, and also objectively contributed to the coming of Yingzheng to the world, although he and the father and son of the Win family are not related by blood, but the help provided is far more than the blood relatives. Therefore, it is obviously inappropriate for Yin Zheng to say that he is "close to Qin".

Why should Ying Zheng "open his eyes and talk nonsense"? He was purely deliberate, because Lü Buwei violated the taboo in two ways.

First, political ideals are different.

A year before the qin king zheng held the coronation ceremony, Lü Buwei published the work "Lü Shi Chunqiu", which had already begun to be compiled, and announced that "those who can increase or lose a word will be given thousands of gold." At that time, the real reason for the "incompetent increase and loss" was that no one dared to change "Lü Shi Chunqiu" because of fear of Lü Buwei. He had only taken this opportunity to demonstrate to The Qin Emperor Yingzheng, and had achieved the goal of controlling the Qin King's Yingzheng ideologically and in action. In the preface to the "Preface to the Spring and Autumn of the Lü Dynasty", "Liangren ask the Twelve Ages, Wenxin Hou Yue: Taste the reason why the Yellow Emperor is taught, there is a big circle on the top, and the big moment is on the bottom..." This is tantamount to telling the Qin Emperor that the political leaders accepted Lü Buwei's teachings like the Yellow Emperor. It can also be fully inferred that in history, it is said that The Qin King Yingzheng was Lü Buwei's illegitimate son, which is purely a son who does not need to have, and this kind of public opinion is nothing more than a political chip for those with ulterior motives to achieve their goals.

The fundamental purpose of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is to promote the ideal form of ruling by doing nothing and the admiration of the Zen concession system in the pre-ancient period, which undoubtedly does not coincide with the shang martingale law family's way of governing the country that the Qin state has long adhered to, and has a discordant factor with the vested interest groups under the military industry system of the past hundred years. However, for Qin Wang Yingzheng's commitment to strengthening the political ideal of centralized power, it is obviously necessary to "remove his people and remove his words" to Lü Buwei, and first negate this person in order to correct the chaos. After Lü Buwei's death, the reason why the Qin people wantonly expelled the Lüfu disciples was not only because of conflicts of interest, but also because of the consideration of development concepts.

Second, the desire for power is too heavy.

During Lü Buwei's demotion to his fiefdom, there was an endless stream of people from various princely states who came to visit, "the envoys of the princes looked at each other and asked Wenxin Hou", and Yingzheng must have feared that he would rebel, and "the king of Qin was afraid of his change", so he persecuted him by letter. Worrying about Lü Buwei's rebellion is almost nothing, just imagine, if there is really this worry, what Yin Zheng sent to Lü Buwei could not be a letter. When The Qin Emperor Yingzheng was only thirteen years old when he took the throne, Lü Buwei assisted the government as the "middle father", his power reached an incomparable height, and the Qin Wangzheng gradually grew up and was getting closer and closer to the pro-government days, while Lü Buwei, who had long been accustomed to monopolizing the political affairs of the Qin State, was unwilling to easily hand over the power in his hands. When the rebellion of Yan Yi and the crisis regime continued, Lü Buwei did not contribute, not to mention that this matter was still his responsibility. Dictatorship, but did not share the worries of the lord at the critical moment, Lü Buwei committed the taboo of the feudal emperor, and could not tolerate anyone to encroach on the supreme power that belonged to him for a long time.

Since ancient times, in royal societies, anyone who threatens the position of the king will be ruthlessly purged by the emperors, no matter how much you have contributed before. Not knowing how to advance or retreat, threatening and usurping the king's power is the root cause of Lü Buwei's forced suicide. Rapids and courageous retreat are always the only way to start and end well, and throughout history, how many people can do it?
