The three phases of Zhao Ji's life

Zhao Ji's life is divided into three important phases: Zhao Guo Handan is a wife and mother; Qin Xianyang is the queen mother; Qin is Yong City was imprisoned.

The first stage: Be a wife and mother in Handan. Keywords: suffering.

"The Biography of Lu Buwei" in "Historical Records", Zhao Ji was originally Lu Buwei's singer and dancer, but was later donated by Lu Buwei to Yingyiren . In 259 BC, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son Yingzheng.

Because of the year Ying Zheng was born, Qin and Zhao’s "Changping Battle" had just ended, and Zhao was killed by 400,000 soldiers. Zhao people hated Qin people. As Qin's protons, Ying Yiren, and his family Zhao Ji and Xiao Yingzheng, naturally became the targets of Zhao's anger.

Two years later, the Qin army attacked Handan, the capital city of Zhao. The Zhao people went out of anger and decided to execute the Ying foreign family. In a critical moment, Lu Buwei escaped Handan City in a hurry with Ying Yingren, but abandoned Zhao Ji and Xiao Yingzheng in Handan.

Zhao Ji and Xiao Yingzheng were under house arrest, and they were often made things difficult, bullied, and beaten by Zhao Guo's officials. The painful life of six years left Zhao Ji with an indelible impression.

The second stage: Be the queen mother in Xianyang of Qin State. Keywords: obscenity.

After Ying Yiren became the prince of Qin, Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng returned to Qin. One year later, Ying Yiren succeeded the throne of Qin and Zhao Ji became queen. Three years later, Ying Yiren died, Ying Zheng came to the throne, and Zhao Ji became the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji is lonely, and her old relationship with Prime Minister Lu Buwei is rekindled. Lu Buwei is afraid that the time will irritate her upper body, so she gives the doorman 嫪毐 to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji loved her very much, and the two of them took refuge in Qin's palace and gave birth to two children.

Later, when the Dongchuang incident occurred, Lai rebelled and led her troops to attack the "Qinian Palace" where King Qin Yingzheng lived, causing "changes in the Qinian Palace" and almost killing Yingzheng. The king of Qin sent Changpingjun , and Changwenjun quelled the rebellion, the car was split, and Zhao Ji was imprisoned.

The third stage: Imprisoned in Yongcheng. Keywords: loneliness and pain

Yingzheng speaks out, cuts off mother-child relationship with Zhao Ji, and never sees again. Then Zhao Ji was locked in Yongcheng and sent to guard not to leave. Zhao Ji was a walking dead in Yongcheng. The death of her two children made her sad, and Yingzheng's ruthlessness made her despair. Zhao Ji's life is better than death.

The ministers all persuaded Yingzheng to take her mother back to Xianyang. Yingzheng killed 27 admonishing ministers and resolutely refused. In the end, an adviser named Mao Jiao persuaded Yingzheng, and Qin Wang Yingzheng took his mother back to Xianyang.

can't escape the exploited fate

carefully looked at the three stages of Zhao Ji's life, she has always existed in the form of a chess piece.

In the first stage, Zhao Ji is a pawn of Lu Buwei's political investment.

Lu Buwei actually likes Zhao Ji. Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records of Lu Buwei Biography":

Zi Chu never drinks from Wei. He said it when he saw Zhao Ji, and invited him to his birthday. Lu Buwei was angry, thinking that he had broken his family and became his son Chu.

means that when Lu Buwei heard that Ying Renren wanted Zhao Ji, he became angry, but thought of his "grand plan", so he reluctantly gave up his love. Therefore, Lu Buwei was the first person to use Zhao Ji as a chess piece. What he took advantage of was Zhao Ji's beauty.

In the second stage, Zhao Ji is the pawn in the fight for power.

嫪毐 was planned by Lu Buwei and entered the palace to become a male favorite. The male favorite was the position Lu Buwei gave him. Zhao Ji initially positioned this way. However, this person has ambitions after being favored. He wants to live a good life, second to gain power, and third to his son to be the king of Qin in the future.

Zhao Ji initially disagreed with Lai's "delusion", but she couldn't stand her soft and hard blisters, and was finally pushed forward step by step by her. In 239 BC, Lai Lu was named Changxinhou, with a fief—Shanyangdi, and later a fief—Taiyuan County. There are thousands of servants and a doormanMore than a thousand people have the ability to compete with Lu Buwei, the then prime minister of Qin. Later, Lai Yu intervened in national affairs and began to win over the ministers of the DPRK and China to form a political group. All this is inseparable from Zhao Ji's support for him.

In the third stage, Zhao Ji became the chess piece of Qin Wang Yingzheng.

Actually, after Ying Zheng broke up in the car and killed her two sons, there is no need to use imprisonment to treat her mother, and there is no need to say that she should sever the relationship between mother and child. But Ying Zheng insisted on doing this because he had another purpose: to establish authority among the ministers by punishing his mother, and warning them that the king’s order must not be violated. Even my mother can be placed under house arrest, even less for you. The men are merciful.

(Ying Zheng)


Why did Zhao Ji become a "little white sheep"

Zhao Ji has capital to be used by others, this is the external cause of her being used by others all her life.

Zhao Ji was pretty and beautiful when she was young. From ancient times to the present, beauty has been a natural resource, and it can be used with "beauty tricks". Not only you can use it, but others can also use it. As a result, this beauty trick was used by Lu Buwei, and the object of use was Yingyiren.

After Zhao Ji became the empress dowager, with power and in her hand, more people wanted to use her. But at exactly this time, Lu Buwei gave her the wife. Many people say that Lai Lai uses the feelings that Zhao Ji has nowhere to place. In fact, Lai Lai uses the power in Zhao Ji's hands. Because there is only emotion and no power, the ambitious lady will not necessarily stay with Zhao Ji for a long time!

Zhao Ji still has a big capital, she is the mother of Qin Wang Yingzheng, , which is also an irreplaceable political capital. Therefore, Ying Zheng finally used his mother and imprisoned her, which can express his strongest political language: I can deny the six relatives, and no one should let me down.

Of course, external factors are not decisive, but internal factors are decisive. The internal reason why Zhao Ji was exploited was that she was born without principle. Whether it was given by Lu Buwei to Yingyiren or being held hostage by her maiden, the lack of principle is the main reason that Zhao Ji's fate is controlled by others.

alone, as long as she stands firm in her heart and knows right from wrong, she is not easy to be confused by foreign objects, but Zhao Ji cannot do this. This is a flaw in her character. If you refer to Zhao Ji's predecessor- Qin Xuan empress Miyue, you can better understand Zhao Ji. The Queen Mother Miyue Qin Xuan loves Mr. Yi very much, but her love is based on principles. Her principle is: Qin’s national interest is first, love is second, and if it violates the first, the second can only die. . Therefore, Miyue reluctantly killed King Yiqu.
