Qin Shihuang's introduction on the historical stage of China, up and down for five thousand years, has passed many people in a hurry. Qin Shihuang is the man who left a heavy footprint on this historical stage. He took the baton of unifying the six countries from his father, Wang Xiang, Qin Zhuang, and worked hard, and finally came to the end, establishing an unprecedented unified Qin Empire.
Qin Shihuang established the first unified multi-ethnic autocratic and centralized feudal country in China, which set a new milestone in the long history of China's development and made great achievements. However, Qin Shihuang imposed exorbitant taxes, forcing farmers to pay taxes according to two-thirds of the harvest, and had to bear heavy long-distance services. More than 2 million people were recruited to repair the Epang Palace, the mausoleum and build the Great Wall. The tyranny of Qin Shihuang buried the consequences of his demise.
The bizarre life story of Qin Shihuang At the end of the Warring States Period, the struggle between countries was extremely fierce. Qin was one of the Seven Heroes at that time. Qin Zhaowang, the great grandfather of Qin Shihuang, listened to Fan Ju? Far attack near attack? Strategically, the goal of the attack is first to target neighboring countries South Korea and Wei, and unite Zhao, who is far away. According to the practice at that time, the two countries exchanged hostages to show their sincerity. Qin sent Qin Shihuang's father to see Zhao, not the grandson of the son of the prince (Qin Shihuang's grandfather). Zi Chu's mother, The Last Month Of Summer, is not favored by Ann Guo Jun, while Zi Chu is in the middle of more than 20 sons of Ann Guo Jun, not the eldest son, so her status is very low. She chose him when she chose the hostage, so he was sent to Zhao and survived as a hostage.
At that time, Lv Buwei, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhai, passed by Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and met a man who was good at speculating and profiting. When he met Zi Chu, he felt it? Strange goods can live? I used him to earn fame and fortune, so I fell in love with him. Zi Chu felt lonely in a foreign country. Now someone cares so much about himself, which not only makes him grateful, but also makes them become good friends.
Lv Buwei decided to try his best to make Zi Chu not only return to Qin, but also occupy an important position in Qin. Therefore, he made a series of elaborate plans. He was familiar with the inside story of Qin State, and knew that although Ann loved Mrs. Huayang the most, Mrs. Huayang had no son, so he made up his mind to let Mrs. Huayang take her stepson Chu as his own son. Then, after Prince Ann Guo Jun ascended the throne, Zi Chu, as a prince, will certainly make countless money by using special political capital.
So Lv Buwei took her daughter out and made friends with Zi Chu. He himself went to Qin with a lot of rare treasures. When he arrived in Qin, he first found Mrs. Huayang's sister. Lv Buwei showed his eloquence, saying that Zi Chu was wise, smart, made friends all over the world, and ambitious. Although I am in a foreign land, I miss Ann Guo Jun and Mrs Huayang every day, and sometimes I burst into tears. Lv Buwei also persuaded Mrs. Huayang's sister to lobby Mrs. Huayang to adopt one of her sons as soon as possible, so that she can be a Chu Jun. Otherwise, what can we rely on when she is old and faded? Now being held hostage by Zhao, I miss the Prince and his wife day and night. Why not seize this opportunity to make Zichu his heir? Chu will be grateful in this way, and his wife will have a lifetime of support. Why not?
Although deeply loved by the prince, childless has always been the concern of Mrs. Huayang. After some lobbying by her sister, Mrs Huayang readily agreed to Lv Buwei's request, so she persuaded him to make Zi Chu his successor with the love of a Guo Junren.
Since then, Zi Chu's situation and status have changed greatly: Ann Guo Jun and Mrs Huayang gave Zi Chu enough money and asked Lv Buwei to be his teacher to help Zi Chu.
Since then, the friendship between Lv Buwei and Zi Chu has deepened. Together, they look forward to the day when Zi Chu returns to China to become a prince, and prepares to succeed to the throne in the future.
Lv Buwei is a visionary. At this time, he has already begun to prepare for the future relying on Zi Chu to make great achievements in the State of Qin. First of all, he spared no expense to buy Evonne, a famous geisha in Handan, as his concubine. After she became pregnant, Lv Buwei said to her: I want to go to Qin to seek the world. Now he is Zhao's hostage, and he is not married. I want to give you to him, because he will definitely return to Qin, and he will definitely reign. After his death, our son will be regarded as the son of Zi Chu and inherit the throne. So isn't the world of Qin State ours? Evonne agreed.
So Lv Buwei deliberately created an opportunity for Zi Chu to meet Evonne. When Zi Chu saw Zhao Ji, he was immediately fascinated by Evonne's elegance and style, and Lv Buwei seized the opportunity? Generous? Quietly give away the beauty, but hide the fact that the beauty is pregnant with a child. Grateful immediately said, if one day for the king of Qin, will be with * * * riches and honour.
After Zi Chu got Zhao Ji, he and Evonne saved for a rainy day. Eight months later, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son, and so did Zi Chu? Your own? The first son was named Zheng because the child was born on the first day of the first lunar month. Later renamed Zheng, because he was born in Zhao, so he called it.
Three years later, when Qin and Zhao were at odds and Handan was besieged, Zhao tried to kill Qin when he was besieged. So, he bought off the guarding city officials with a lot of money, which made him escape from Handan and return to Qin. Zhao Zheng and his mother escaped the fatal disaster under the cover of their grandmother's house.
When Zi Chu returned to Qin State to meet Mrs. Huayang, she cried and told her feelings of parting for many years. Because Mrs Huayang was originally a Chu woman, Zi Chu deliberately changed to wear Chu clothes. Mrs Huayang was very excited and said to Chu. I am a native of Chu, you can bend my mind, and I am willing to raise you as my son. ? So Zi Chu worshiped Mrs Huayang, the crown princess who was only three years older than him and had no children, as his mother. From then on, I greet you in the morning and evening, and I am very diligent.
Six years later, in 2 15 BC, Zhao Xiang, king of Qin, died and Guo Jun ascended the throne. This is King Xiaowen of Qin, Mrs Huayang is the queen, and Zi Chu is the prince. At this time, the relationship between Qin and Zhao was restored to the former friendly state, and Qin Shihuang and his mother were able to return to Qin. Emperor Xiaowen of Qin reigned for a short time. He first mourned for his father for a year, and died only three days after he officially ascended the throne. So he acceded to the throne as the king of Qin, that is, the king of Qin Zhuang, the wife of Huayang as the queen mother of Huayang, the biological mother as the queen mother of Xia, the queen and the heir. At this time, Zhao Zheng returned to the State of Qin, so he changed his name to Ying Zheng. Zi Chu didn't break his original promise. He not only made himself prime minister, but also made him an official, eating 100 thousand households in Luoyang, Henan Province, and having tens of thousands of children. Lv Buwei finally realized his long-cherished wish through speculation.
Zi Chu was exhausted by Xue Jing because of his chaotic life in the palace. He died of a stroke four years after he ascended the throne, at the age of 36. So in 247 BC, Ying Zheng, who had just turned 13 years old, ascended the throne of the king of Qin. Because of her youth, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji listened to politics and appointed Lv Buwei to handle state affairs. Guan zhong? .
Qin Shihuang worked hard to swallow the six countries.
