Qin Shihuang is the first emperor of our Chinese feudal unity. He unified China for the first time and has a very important position in our Chinese history. But for two thousand years, what has been unclear is the question of Qin Shihuang's life experience.
Descendants are not sure whether Qin Shihuang is an illegitimate child, so now TV series all insinuate Qin Shihuang as the son of Lu Buwei . Why is the question of Qin Shihuang being an illegitimate child still circulated and is still uncertain?
This is mainly because Sima Qian 's " histories " written by contains contradictory statements that confuse us later generations.
The earliest record in history that Qin Shihuang was an illegitimate child is Sima Qian’s "Historical Records. The Biography of Lu Buwei". In this biography of Lu Buwei, it is said that King Qin Zhuangxiang ( Zichu) was in Lu Buwei’s home as a proton at that time in the biography of Lu Buwei. While drinking, I fell in love with Lu Buwei’s concubine Zhao Ji, so he begged Lu Buwei to give Zhao Ji to him, and Zhao Ji was pregnant at the time, so Lu Buwei wanted to live with Zichu's strange goods and did not want to invest, so he sent Zhao Ji. give him. This is the source of Qin Shihuang's illegitimate child, which is circulated to this day by posterity.
However, Sima Qian recorded Qin Shihuang as the son of King Qin Zhuangxiang in " Shiji. Qin Shihuang Benji" and "Shiji. Chu Family". He was born in the State of Zhao. It was when King Qin Zhuangxiang was a proton in Zhao State, he fell in love with Lu Buwei. Zhao Ji married her, and later gave birth to him, named Zheng, also called Zhao Zheng. Here, Sima Qian thought that Qin Shihuang was not an illegitimate child.
So is Qin Shihuang an illegitimate child? In fact, it can be analyzed from two aspects. The first is scientific argumentation. According to the "Historical Records" record, Zhao Ji "born Zizheng at the most important period", and this "major period" is now generally considered to be ten or twelve months. It is deduced from time that Qin Shihuang would not be Lu Buwei's son. Of course, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji have an affair during this period.But this is unlikely. Lu Buwei is a big business, and it is unlikely to take this risk. Secondly, from the legal point of view, Qin State Since Shangyang Reform , the law is very strict. Even the original Qin Huiwen Wang was punished for breaking the law when he was the prince, and Qin State also has detailed regulations on the inheritance law. . Qin law stipulates that if the child born is not the biological child of the parents, then the child has no inheritance rights, and the parents will also be punished by Qin law. Therefore, Lu Buwei would not risk breaking Qin’s law to invest in Prince Chu of Qin Zhuangxiang. He didn’t have to do it. He didn’t know that Zhao Ji would definitely give birth to a son. Even Zi Chu was just a proton at the time. Lu Buwei invested in him to rely on him in the future Gain benefits in Qin, instead of investing in your own illegitimate children or daughters.
So why is there a rumor that Qin Shihuang is an illegitimate child?
is mainly due to two reasons. On the one hand, it may be the work of Lu Buwei’s disciples. Lu Buwei had three thousand disciples. After Lu Buwei was forced to kill by Qin Shihuang, his disciples felt the kindness of Lu Buwei and hated Qin Shihuang, and then fabricated that Qin Shihuang was Lu Buwei’s illegitimate son, pour dirty water on Qin Shihuang, and embarrass Qin Shihuang. Eternal. On the other hand, the descendants of the Six Kingdoms may discredit Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang annihilated the Six Kingdoms and ruled the world. When the descendants of the Six Kingdoms refused to accept it, they vented their personal anger and discredited Qin Shihuang and proclaimed that he was the son of Lu Buwei, because Lu Buwei was a native of the country and was also a native of the Six Kingdoms. , In this way, the Six Kingdoms first destroyed the Qin Kingdom.
In any case, Qin Shihuang was an emperor through the ages, he realized the unification of China for the first time, and he has made great achievements, and his life experience should be treated in a correct and reasonable way.
