The first empress dowager in history, Qin Shihuang's biological mother Zhao Ji, a strong woman who has mastered her own destiny

Qin Shihuang wiped out the six countries and completed the first reunification in Chinese history. In addition to the efforts of the ancestors of the Qin State and the ministers of civil and military affairs, it is also thanks to the businessman Lu Buwei. When it comes to Lu Buwei, I have to talk about Qin Shihuang’s Mother Zhao Ji, this woman can be said to be a legend. The story between her and a few lovers can only be described as wonderful, and it also played a very important role in the direction of Qin.

Zhao Ji is a native of Handan, Zhao, from the Zhao clan, whose name is unknown. After her death, she was revered as the empress dowager by her son Ying Zheng. She is an unprecedented title. The historical record says that Zhao Ji It is the daughter of Zhao Guo's wealthy family, and Zhao Ji is said to be a dancing girl. The contradiction makes it impossible for future generations to verify. But the important thing is that Zhao Ji is indeed Lu Buwei's concubine, which allowed her to enter the royal family of Qin in the future.

There is a well-known idiom "Original goods can live", it is said that Lu Buwei is very good at doing business, his father had a conversation with him, probably means investing in royal descendants is the most profitable, and At that time, the son of King Qin Guoan, who was also the father of Ying Zheng. Later, King Qin Zhuangxiang Ying was a hostage in Zhao State. After the Battle of Changping, Zhao State resented Qin State deeply and was in Zhao State’s win. The stranger's situation is so embarrassing that his life is so embarrassing that Lu Buwei decides to invest in the stranger and has repeatedly helped him to tide over the difficulties.

Ying Yiren saw the beautiful Zhao Ji at Lu Buwei's house, and liked it very much. Lu Buwei readily gave Zhao Ji to the stranger. Later, Zhao Ji gave birth to Qin Wangying in Zhao Guo Politics. In 257 BC, when King Qin Zhaoxiang attacked Handan, the State of Zhao wanted to kill the foreigner. Lu Buwei spent a lot of money and the foreigner escaped from Handan and followed the Qin army to Xianyang. At this time, Zhao Ji and the three-year-old Ying Zheng Staying in the country of Zhao, facing life threats many times, after the mother and child did not have any protection, what kind of hardships and dangers took to survive is no longer known. It can be said that Zhao Ji played a decisive role in history.

When Lu Buwei was in Zhao State, he had already opened up the relationship with Qin State. He bought Mrs. Hua Yang’s sister and brother, and asked Mrs. Hua Yang to accept the foreigner as his son, making the foreigner the first on the throne. Heir, Zhao Ji and Yingzheng mother and son were able to return to Qin. After King Zhaoxiang Qin and King Xiaowen passed away, Ying Yiren became King of Qin and Zhao Ji was named queen. Yingyi talents served as King Qin for three years before he died. At the age of 13 Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, and Zhao Ji became the queen mother.

After countless life and death tests, Zhao Ji finally lived a stable life. Without obstacles, Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, who is a Xiangguo, rekindled their old love. As Ying Zheng grew up, Lu Buwei realized that his relationship with Zhao Ji would be a hidden danger, so he cut off his lover relationship with Zhao Ji, and at the same time recommended 嫪毐 to Zhao Ji. According to legend, this 嫪毐 was in the house. The ability to go up is abnormal. The Shiji "The Biographies of Lu Buwei" records that Lai Lu can use a penis to turn her wheels. The lonely Zhao Ji is very fond of Lai.

Zhao Ji found a reason to live in Yongcheng in order to have unbridled lewd pleasures with her. Later, under the influence of Zhao Ji, her power continued to grow and she was also named a long letter. Hou, Zhao Ji actually gave him two sons. In 238 BC, the triumphant woman conspired, Ying Zheng soon put down the rebellion, and then the woman was split in a car, and the two sons of Zhao Ji were also killed. Ying Zheng's deteriorating expressly severed Zhao Ji's relationship with Zhao Ji. After the ministers' persuasion, Ying Zheng took her back to Xianyang, and Zhao Ji finally died. In 228 BC, Zhao Ji died. Yingzheng pursued her as the empress dowager and buried Zhiyang together with Qin Zhuangxiang King Ying.

I have to say that Zhao Ji is indeed a ruthless woman. In the crisis-ridden country of Zhao, she has survived all kinds of hardships. In the ancient times where the loyalty of women was especially valued, she was the mother of Qin. She arbitrarily provoked Gangchang, which seemed to be a challenge to the humble society of men and women. Fortunately, the mother and son had cleared their previous suspicions. Under her protection, Yingzheng also accomplished the feat of destroying the Six Nations.
