The Crown Prince who is pregnant with Ji, the giant merchant Qiao Guan shi. Ten years of wealth and nobility with light overturning, strange goods to the disaster is even more strange.
If you want to say that the most successful person in business from ancient times to the present is undoubtedly Lü Buwei, who helped support him when the stranger was most depressed, and helped him successfully ascend to the throne, and Lü Buwei was also worshipped as a Xiangguo, thus his power was overthrown to the world.
Moreover, he dedicated his favorite concubine to the yiren and gave birth to the first emperor of the qin dynasty, so since ancient times people have been very interested in his real relationship with Zhao Ji and Qin Shi Huang.
After Yingzheng ascended to the throne, Lü Buwei was even honored as the Middle Father, and the number of disciples was as many as 3,000.
But for what reason was the famous minister of power in the government and the opposition expelled by the government? Was Lü Buwei's suicide really because of a letter from YingZheng?
At the end of the Warring States period, the princes of the world were constantly fighting wars, and countries had the habit of exchanging protons between countries to gain trust. The inhuman is the proton sent by the Qin State to the Zhao State, and generally the life of other protons is relatively good, but the Inhuman is not like this.
At that time, the strength of the State of Qin was relatively strong, and during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, it attacked the State of Zhao many times, and the Battle of Changping killed more than 400,000 people of the State of Zhao. It can be said that the hatred between Qin and Zhao is very deep, and the identity of the alien is not very important.
The Yiren was only a son of An Guojun, and there were more than twenty sons of An Guojun, so the treatment of the Yiren in the Zhao Kingdom could be imagined. Not only are there no courtesies, but sometimes even the basic needs of life are a bit difficult.
At this moment, a person who changed the fate of the inhumans appeared, he was a generation of strange people Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei was only a businessman at that time, and the status of the merchant in that era was very low, the merchants, farmers, industrialists and merchants, merchants ranked last, but Lü Buwei was not an ordinary businessman.
Lü Buwei had been traveling from one country to another since the beginning of his business, taking advantage of the price difference between different goods in various countries to make high profits, and he had also accumulated a huge wealth.
Just when the yiren was suffering in Handan, Lü Buwei came to Handan to do business, and he found the yiren by chance, although the life of the yiren was very sad at that time, But Lü Buwei still saw the extraordinary arrogance of the yiren.
Lü Buwei asked his friend who this young man was, and the friend told him that this was a proton sent by the Qin State, and at this moment a bold idea came to Lü Buwei's mind.
How much profit would it be to invest the inhuman as a piece of goods?
With this idea, he immediately went back to consult with his father, and the "Warring States Policy" also recorded the dialogue between Lü Buwei's father and son, which roughly expressed the meaning that Lü Buwei asked how much profit he could get from the establishment of a country, and his father only answered countless answers.
After receiving his father's reply, Lü Buwei was determined to start investing in the stranger, and he went directly to visit and had such a conversation.
Lü Buwei said to the infidel: I can help you expand your reputation, but the infidel laughed and said: You first take care of yourself and then help me. Lü Buwei said: I will not grow until you grow. Only then did the stranger understand Lü Buwei's intentions.
Lü Buwei analyzed the current situation in front of the yiren, the king of Qin was now old, and the yiren's father could succeed to the throne at any time. The infidel was not of high status, and now he is still in an enemy country, and if Qin and Zhao start to fight, the infidel will not be able to save his life.
After hearing this, the stranger was also very flustered, and immediately asked Lü Buwei if he had any countermeasures, and said that he would obey Lü Buwei's plan.
At this moment, Lü Buwei also came up with his long-planned plan, saying that he could help the yiren to return to the Qin Kingdom safely and ascend the throne.
He first took out a part of the money to let the strangers make a large number of guests to make a name for himself, and then he bought a large number of gifts to go to the Qin Kingdom to lobby.
After Lü Buwei arrived in the Qin Kingdom, he went to meet Yang Quanjun, and Yang Quanjun's sister was the very favored Lady Huayang.
Lady Huayang had no heirs under her knees, and Lü Buwei said that if the King of Qin was replaced in the future, then Lady Huayang would definitely lose her current glory and wealth, but it was better to let Lady Huayang help the other person to ascend to the throne, so that she would also have a dependency.
After hearing this, Yang Quanjun felt that it was very reasonable in his heart, so he took Lü Buwei into the palace to meet Lady Huayang. After hearing this, Lady Huayang also approved of this practice, and began to blow the wind in an guojun's pillow, saying that she wanted yiren to become her heir.
An Guojun paid more and more attention to the Yiren because of his favor for Lady Huayang, and ordered the people to send many treasures to the Yiren, and the Yiren also used Lü Buwei's money to make a large number of friends with the magnates in the Zhao Kingdom at this time.
Since then, the strangers have gradually become known to the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.
The relationship between Lü Buwei and the yiren also became familiar, and the two often drank together, and once the yiwei saw a beautiful singer ji while enjoying the song and dance at Lü Buwei's house.
This Ge Ji is the famous Zhao Ji in history, and is also the birth mother of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng. Yiren could be said to have fallen in love with Zhao Ji at first sight, so he proposed to Lü Buwei the idea of giving Zhao Ji to him, but Lü Buwei was very angry when he heard it.
Zhao Ji was already Lü Buwei's concubine at that time, and Lü Buwei was also very fond of her, and at this moment, it was naturally unwilling to give Zhao Ji to her.
But Lü Buwei thought that he had already invested so much in the yiren, and if he refused at this moment, it would be too worthless to cause the relationship between the two to deteriorate, so he dedicated Zhao Ji to the yiren.
After yiren got Zhao Ji, the two soon had a son and named him Zheng, which was Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, and Yiren also made Zhao Ji his wife.
However, since ancient times, there have been two different theories about the identity of Qin Shi Huang, one is that Lü Buwei was pregnant before he sacrificed Zhao Ji to the Yiren, and the other is that Yingzheng was born of the Yiren and Zhao Ji. Including Sima Qian's "Records of History", there are also these two statements.
As the reputation of the Yiren grew, An Guojun and Lady Huayang, who were far away in the Qin Kingdom, also began to pay attention to the son of the Yiren. They asked King Zhao to release the strangers to return to China, but King Zhao did not agree, and Lü Buwei once again played his role.
Lü Buwei persuaded King Zhao that if there was really a war between Qin and Zhao, it would not make much sense to detain a stranger, after all, An Guojun still had so many sons. It is better to let the stranger return to China, and he will remember Zhao Guo's kindness in the future.
King Zhao thought that there was some truth in it, so he planned to send the stranger back to China, but at this time war broke out.
The Zhao state was defeated in the Battle of Changping, but the Zhao state did not cede the land as agreed, and the angry King Qin Zhao sent an army to attack the Zhao state again. Zhao Guo wanted to kill the Inhumans under this circumstance, and upon learning of the situation, the Inhumans immediately consulted with Lü Buwei on what to do.
After discussion, the two decided to bribe the officials guarding the city gates, so that the infidels could escape from Handan and escape the scourge of killing.
However, Zhao Ji and Yin Zheng stayed in Handan, and Zhao Guo hit the idea on these two people again, and with the help of Zhao Ji's family, the two escaped the disaster, otherwise there would be no later Qin Shi Huang to unify the Six Kingdoms.
After fleeing back to qin, the strangers went down to meet Lady Huayang at The suggestion of Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei was very thoughtful in his preparations before doing things.
In order to let the yiren gain the favor of Lady Huayang, he specially let the yiren wear the clothes of the Chu state into the palace, because the lady of Huayang was a Chu national, so the good feelings for the yiren suddenly rose sharply, and immediately recognized the yiren as his son and changed his name to "Chu".
In 251 BC, An Guojun succeeded to the throne and made his son Chu crown prince at the suggestion of Lady Huayang. An Guojun died of illness within a few days of succeeding to the throne, so Zi Chu ascended the throne as King Xiang of Qinzhuang.
After Zi Chu ascended the throne, in order to thank Lü Buwei for his help, he became the chancellor of the Qin state and was given the title of Marquis of Wenxin, and even rewarded 100,000 households in Luoyang.
Lü Buwei's investment also finally paid off, and as his father said, he received countless returns. Lü Buwei's successful transformation from a merchant to a Minister of Qin can be described as a power in the world, which also shows the uniqueness of his vision.
Zi Chu also died only three years after succeeding to the throne, and Yin Zheng also ascended the throne. At that time, Yingzheng was still young, and it can be said that all the people in the Qin state were controlled by Lü Buwei alone, and Yingzheng also honored Lü Buwei as "Zhongfu" to show respect.
At this time, Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei also began to rekindle their old feelings, and the two often met privately in the palace. However, as Yingzheng grew older and began to gradually consolidate the power in his hands, Lü Buwei was afraid that his affair with Zhao Ji would be revealed, so he came up with a way.
Lü Buwei found a man named Yan Yi and accepted him as his doorman. Lü Buwei often let Yan Yi show her face at the banquet when she held banquets at her home to attract Zhao Ji's attention.
And Yan Yi's reputation gradually came out of people's mouths, and Zhao Ji was very concerned about Yan Yi after hearing about it, and wanted to include him in the palace but was suffering from no way. Lü Buwei felt that the opportunity had arrived, and he had an idea for Zhao Ji.
Lü Buwei suggested that she could pretend to be an eunuch by the palace torture, so that she could enter the palace smoothly. After hearing this, Zhao Ji bought the officials who had been sentenced to death, and asked them not to torture Concubine Yi, and at the same time, they also pulled off all of Yan Yi's beards to avoid being seen.
In this way, Yan Yi became a false eunuch and successfully entered Zhao Ji's palace, and soon gained Zhao Ji's love and trust. Zhao Ji and Yan Yi were together fornicated night and night, and it wasn't long before Zhao Ji couldn't do without Yan Yi, and all the big and small affairs were also entrusted to Yan Yi to take care of.
Then Zhao Ji actually became pregnant with Yan Yi's child, but Zhao Ji was also afraid of being found out that she was pregnant. As her stomach grew larger, Zhao Ji came up with a way.
She lied that she wanted to live in a different environment, so she took Yan Yi to Yongcheng. In Yongcheng, the two were even more unscrupulous and gave birth to two sons.
And Yan Yi's power was also growing, and he was even named the Marquis of Changxin, with thousands of disciples and servants. Yan Yi began to compete with Lü Buwei, but the good times did not last long.
This person is a villain who has achieved success, and there is no city government. After drinking, he arrogantly said that he was Yingzheng's false father, and someone quickly told Yingzheng about it, and Yingzheng could not bear this insult.
After investigating, he found that Yan Yi had not been sentenced to the palace and had two children with Zhao Ji. When Yan Yi learned that the matter was exposed, he actually stole the seal and launched a rebellion, but he was doomed to failure.
After his defeat, he was sentenced to death by Yingzheng and his three clans were destroyed, while his and Zhao Ji's two sons were also thrown to death.
However, the matter of Concubine Yi did not end here, and after investigation, Yin Zheng found that Concubine Yi was actually sent to the palace by Lü Buwei, so Lü Buwei was naturally implicated.
Lü Buwei was deposed by Yingzheng and expelled from Xianyang and returned to the Luoyang fiefdom. After returning to the fiefdom, Lü Buwei also made a big mistake.
He still opened the door of the house to receive guests, and the people who came to visit his house were still in an endless stream, and every day was a song and dance feast.
These circumstances were also known to Yingzheng, who originally wanted to kill Lü Buwei but was dissuaded, and now Lü Buwei still did not restrain himself, which made Yingzheng very angry. What happened next was the last straw that crushed the camel.
Lü Buwei had been the minister of the Qin State for more than ten years, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who had befriended him were also innumerable. After his dismissal, there were still a large number of emissaries from the Six Kingdoms who came to visit.
This made Yin Zheng very worried, because Lü Buwei knew the national strength of the Qin state very well, and he clearly knew where the weakness of the Qin state was. If these things were known to the Six Kingdoms, then the Qin Kingdom would be plunged into a place of perdition.
So Yin Zheng wrote a letter to Lü Buwei, and Lü Buwei also committed suicide by poison after reading this letter.
What merit did Jun he owe to Qin? Qin Fengjun Henan, eating 100,000 households. Why is Jun he pro-Qin? Known as the middle father. He and his family moved to Shu!
Just these few crosses, Lü Buwei had already seen from them that Yingzheng had a heart to kill him, and he knew that even if he arrived in Shudi, he would not be able to live, so it was better to commit suicide now to save his family, so he drank poisonous wine and killed himself.
Lü Buwei changed from a businessman to a country minister, it can be said that his vision and wrist are very unique, and his dragon skills have brought him countless glory and wealth for more than ten years.
The king and the chancellor have been opposed to each other since ancient times, and regardless of their identity, everything he does is ultimately unable to escape the fate of being killed.
