Did you know that Qin Shihuang 's father a foreigner once served as a "proton", which means a hostage; so how did he escape? How did Yi Ren reach the pinnacle of power when his grandpa didn't care for his grandma and everyone didn't like him? Lu Buwei How did such an extremely human minister achieve the position of prime minister?
Let’s sort out the relationship first: Qin Shihuang’s father was called Yiren, Yiren’s father was An Guojun, and An Guojun’s father was King Qin Zhaoxiang.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a very popular political behavior was to exchange hostages to gain the trust of the other party, thereby achieving the political purpose of combining vertical and horizontal . During the 56 years of King Qin Zhaoxiang's reign, he exchanged hostages between his prince and the state of Wei. Unexpectedly, the prince died later. So King Qin Zhaoxiang passed the title of prince to King An Guo.
An Guojun, who was already 38 years old at this time, was naturally overjoyed, but seeing his father, King Qin Zhaoxiang, so active, he didn't know when he would be able to survive his father and take over the power.
So in that era when entertainment activities were extremely scarce, An Guojun could only spend more energy on women.
Historical records record that An Guojun had many children, including more than 20 sons alone. This proud report card, in an imperial family where the fertility rate has always been low, will definitely put future emperors to shame.
Yiren is one of these more than 20 sons, and his fate is also unfortunate.
Because although the emperor’s family is only based on the father’s dignity, the more important thing is that the son is valued by the mother, or you are the eldest son. Only in this way can you be taken seriously.
But unfortunately, the non-eldest son's alien mother is named Xia Ji, and she is one of the least favored.
Therefore, Yiren also has self-awareness and does not care about the throne. He only wants wealth and happiness for a lifetime.
But things went against his wishes, and he was ill-fated and once again embarked on a road of narrow escape. His grandfather, King Qin Zhaoxiang, decided to sign an alliance with the Kingdom of Zhao. According to the "international" practice at the time, the two countries of the alliance had to exchange hostages to show trust.
This stranger, whose mother is not favored and who is not the eldest son, is the best choice. Why is it said that there is a narrow escape from death? The son of King Qin Zhaoxiang, who is also his uncle, is a living example. He was still the prince, so he died in a foreign country.
The pressure on the stranger who was sent to Handan, Zhao State, was very great. In life, because he was not favored by the Zhao State, he was repeatedly ignored, and it was a problem to eat and sleep; mentally, I don't know when Qin and Zhao will go to war, and he will definitely be the best candidate to sacrifice the flag.
It is said that there is no end to the road. When Yiren was at his most desperate, he met the first "noble man" in his life, Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei, a native of Wei State Puyang , was a businessman with a keen sense of politics. He is very familiar with the politics of various countries, especially the struggle for power in the palace of the prince. It was also thanks to his political acumen that he made a fortune in business in South Korea. For such a smart man, his ambitions naturally don't stop there. For him, his ideal in life is to break away from the business class and reach an official career.
At this time, he looked at the ragged and extremely depressed stranger, and he was so excited and happy that he secretly thought that the opportunity had come!
He said to the foreigner: "I have a plan to help you escape from this place, return to Qin Kingdom and ascend to the throne."
The foreigner felt absurd and said: "I just want to have a mouth to eat."
Lu Buwei laughed and continued: "According to my opinion, King Qin is very old, and your father An Guojun will ascend the throne in the near future. And An Guojun's favorite is Mrs. Huayang .It's just that Mrs. Huayang has no heirs. As long as you can gain her trust, there's no need to worry about success. "
Yiren said dejectedly after hearing this: "It's just my more than 20 brothers, can't they see it? Even if they can't see the mystery, I can't contact Mrs. Huayang and flatter her."
After hearing this, Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Whether your brother can see the mystery or not, it's worth a try. As for the interview, Mrs. Huayang has gained trust. As long as you are willing, I will do it. "
The first thing Lu Buwei met was Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yangquanjun.
As soon as they met, he went straight to the point and said: "My lord, do you know that a disaster is coming?"
Yangquanjun was naturally furious when he heard this and hurriedly called for help. Get out.
Lu Buwei continued: "With all due respect, your Excellency has done nothing for the Qin State, but now you have power over the government and the public, and the ministers are looking at you with suspicion. It all depends on Mrs. Huayang's merits. If she is no longer favored, how will you deal with yourself? "
Lord Yangquan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He hurriedly drank and retreated. Please go into the inner palace and kowtow to ask for advice.
Lu Buwei said: "Jun An Guo will be the king of Qin soon. I heard that he intends to make Zi Xi the heir apparent. If then, he will take charge. The one in the harem is not Mrs. Huayang. This is the worst case scenario. So you should make plans early. "
Mr. Yangquan hurriedly asked about the countermeasures. Lu Buwei was secretly happy and said: "How about letting Mrs. Huayang choose the virtuous ones among An Guojun's sons and adopt them as adopted sons. In this way, Mrs. Huayang will have an heir. He can be favored; secondly, he can fully assist him to establish himself as the crown prince and win the throne; thus killing two birds with one stone, he can ensure that the king will be worry-free forever! "
Yangquan Jun was busy asking who was suitable to adopt as his adopted son?
"I heard from time to time in Handan the city that ministers praised the young master for being a stranger, virtuous, polite, and a gentleman. I visited him out of curiosity. What's even more rare is that every time he talks about Qin Guo and his wife, he sheds tears of sadness, and his filial piety is commendable. If my wife can adopt her as an adopted son and be established as a prince in the future, wouldn't it be entirely up to my wife and the prince to take charge of the affairs of the government and the public? "
Mr. Yangquan was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately acted according to the plan and contacted all parties. Mrs. Huayang was indeed troubled by the issue of heirs, and she immediately agreed after hearing this. From then on, the stranger changed his name to "Chu" or " Zi Chu ", with Lu Buwei's careful teaching and Mrs. Huayang's support, Yangquan Hou finally ascended to the throne smoothly with the strong support of the court. He was King Qin Zhuangxiang.
