In 235 BC, when Lü Buwei was entertaining guests in his fiefdom, he suddenly received a letter from Qin Shi Huang, in which Qin Shi Huang accused Lü Buwei: "What credit have you done to the Qin state?" The State of Qin sealed you in Henan, eating 100,000 households. What is your blood relationship with the King of Qin? And known as the middle father. You and your family have all moved to Shudi to live! At this time, Lü Buwei understood that the purpose of the boy he had seen since he was a child was not to remove his official position, but to take his own life, and he was afraid of implicating his family, and finally chose to commit suicide.
Who was Qin Shi Huang's biological father? It has always been a historical mystery, some people say that he is Lü Buwei's son, but no matter what the truth is, Qin Shi Huang was raised by Lü Buwei. When Qin Shi Huang was young, he also honored Lü Buwei as "Zhongfu". At the same time, Lü Buwei was also the benefactor of Qin Shi Huang's father And the hero of the Qin State, why would Qin Shi Huang be so desperate when he grew up, and must force Lü Buwei to die?
Lü Buwei is a businessman who pursues "strange goods to live in", he buys low and sells high, hoards the scarce goods on the market, and then sells them after waiting for high prices to make huge profits. Lü Buwei was in the Zhao Kingdom and found the Qin Prince Yiren who was a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom. During the Warring States period, monarchs often sent their unfavored, unimportant sons to other countries as hostages. The future of the inhuman who was a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom was extremely bleak, but Lü Buwei felt that the inhuman was a "strange commodity" that was rare in a thousand years, and he could obtain unpredictable benefits from the inhuman.
Lü Buwei took the initiative to marry the inhumans and also gave the Inhumans a lot of property. Lü Buwei wanted to use his wealth and excellent diplomatic skills to help the yiren inherit the throne of Qin. When the Inhuman succeeds to the throne, he will be rewarded again. During the exchange between the two, the yiren took a fancy to Lü Buwei's concubine. Although Lü Buwei did not give up, in order not to destroy his relationship with the Inhumans, he decided to give Zhao Ji to the Inhumans with a small and broad mind.
After 10 months of following the Yiren, Zhao Ji gave birth to Qin Shi Huang.
A mother, from pregnancy to delivery, takes 10 months. It can be seen that Zhao Ji was pregnant during the period when Lü Buwei gave her to the inhuman, and this child may be either Lü Buwei's or the inhuman. Who was Qin Shi Huang's biological father? It has become a historical mystery.
After Zhao Ji gave birth to Qin Shi Huang, it did not affect the relationship between Yi and Lü Buwei. Lü Buwei went to the state of Qin and persuaded Lady Huayang, the favorite concubine of the Qin king An Guojun, to recognize Yiyi as his son. Lady Huayang had no sons, and after An Guojun's death, she would lose her dependence, and if she recognized Yiren as a son, and Yiren would inherit the Queen of Qin, she would become the empress dowager and continue to enjoy wealth. Lü Buwei successfully persuaded Lady Huayang to recognize the stranger as a son. Subsequently, with the help of Lady Huayang, An Guojun made Yi a prince.
After An Guojun's death, Lü Buwei helped the Yiren escape from the Zhao state and inherit the throne. After Yiren succeeded to the throne, he made Lü Buwei the Marquis and gave him 100,000 households. Three years later, Yiren died and was succeeded by qin shi huang at the age of 13. Qin Shi Huang needed to be 21 years old before he could personally govern, so lü Buwei, the minister of state, presided over the government for him. During this period, Lü Buwei sent troops to seize the lands of Zhou, Zhao, and Wei, and made great contributions to Qin.
After the death of Yiren, Zhao Ji, the mother of Qin Shi Huang, rekindled her old love affair with Lü Buwei. As Qin Shi Huang grew older, Lü Buwei was afraid that his relationship with Zhao Ji would make Qin Shi Huang dissatisfied and bring trouble to himself, so he recommended Concubine Yi to Zhao Ji. After following Zhao Ji, Sheyi was not only made a marquis, but also had great power, raising thousands of guests, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also came to rely on Concubine Yi.
After Yan Yi gained power in his hands, he began to swell, and even called himself the false father of Qin Shi Huang. This made Qin Shi Huang hate Yan Yi to the bone and have the heart to kill him. Yan Yi sensed Qin Shi Huang's hostility towards him and feared that Qin Shi Huang would kill him after he was pro-government, so when Qin Shi Huang was about to take power, he rebelled and prepared to seize power, and Qin Shi Huang had already prepared to defeat Yan Yi and attack his three tribes.
After Qin Shi Huang got rid of Concubine Yi, because Qin Shi Huang was recommended by Lü Buwei to his mother Zhao Ji, this also made Qin Shi Huang angry with Lü Buwei and prepared to kill him. Lü Buwei was a hero of the Qin state, and under the persuasion of his ministers, Qin Shi Huang spared him, but removed him from his official position.
Qin Shi Huang asked Lü Buwei to live in the fiefdom. After Lü Buwei arrived at the fiefdom, many of his disciples followed Lü Buwei to the fiefdom. At the same time, the envoys of the Six Kingdoms often went to see Lü Buwei. Qin Shi Huang was the monarch of the Qin state, and the envoys of the Six Kingdoms went to see Lü Buwei, which made Qin Shi Huang extremely dissatisfied. At that time, there was also news that Lü Buwei wanted to unite with the various countries to rebel, which made Qin Shi Huang uneasy. Qin Shi Huang wrote a letter reprimanding Lü Buwei and asking him to live in Shudi, where the environment was closed and the transportation was inconvenient, thus cutting off Lü Buwei's ties with other places.
Perhaps at that time, Qin Shi Huang did not have the idea of killing Lü Buwei, but Lü Buwei misunderstood qin shi huang's meaning and felt that qin shi huang wanted to put himself to death, so he chose to commit suicide. Lü Buwei was meritorious to the State of Qin, but his power was too great, threatening the throne of Qin Shi Huang. On the side of the bed, it is better to allow others to sleep soundly, which is also the main reason why Qin Shi Huang could not tolerate Lü Buwei and wanted to suppress and force Lü Buwei to die.
