<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > lowly born</h1>
Zhao Ji was from a very humble origin and was a prostitute in the city of Handan in the Zhao kingdom.
There is also a saying that it is the daughter of a large family in the Zhao Kingdom. But Xiao Baozi believes that this is not very likely.
After all, Zhao Ji was only Lü Buwei's concubine, if she was the daughter of a rich and noble family, would she only be a merchant's concubine?
(Regarding Zhao Ji's identity, even in the "Biography of Lü Buwei", there are inconsistencies)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > looks great</h1>
What does Zhao Ji look like?
Legend has it that she was born beautiful, a little cherry lips, a clear face, a posture of Yuanna, and everyone who saw her was moved.
The first time Lü Buwei met Zhao Ji, he was fascinated by her and did not hesitate to spend a high price to buy it as a concubine.
The two did not last long, Lü Buwei pondered a major life event - strange goods can be lived.
About the story of strange goods, we talked yesterday, interested friends can poke to see how Lü Buwei, the "middle father" of qin shi huang of →, changed from a businessman to a minister of a country?
Lü Buwei set up a banquet to entertain Qin Yiren and asked the beautiful Zhao Ji to pour wine for him.
Qin Yiren saw Zhao Ji, thought it was a fairy, and begged Lü Buwei to give Zhao Ji to him as his wife.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > a twist of fate</h1>
Qin Yiren's request was right in Lü Buwei's heart.
He pretended to be angry, and then he got off the donkey and gave Zhao Ji to Qin Yiren.
Zhao Ji's fate has since taken a huge turn.
Qin Yiren did not know that at this moment, he was destined to have a hat with color after death.
Zhao Ji was very pampered after becoming related to Qin Yiren, and soon gave birth to a child, which was the future Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng.
It is said that Zhao Ji gave birth to a child in eight months of pregnancy.
Such things as premature birth are very common even in modern times, so Qin Yiren did not feel anything strange.
After this child was born, he not only looked right, but also had teeth at birth, which made Qin Yiren very happy (and did not know what he was happy about).
At that time, there were frequent wars between Qin and Zhao, and Qin Yiren was very unpopular with Zhao Guo, and once reduced his use, and there were even fewer chariots and horses.
Zhao Ji accompanied Qin Yi to spend several years in the Zhao Kingdom.
Three years later, Qin and Zhao went to war again.
King Zhao lost patience, thinking that this proton was of no use in the Zhao Kingdom, and the Qin State was not jealous at all, so he was ready to kill Qin Yiren to vent his anger.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > prison life</h1>
Qin Yiren noticed that Zhao Guo's attitude towards him did not seem right, and immediately fled, all the way back to Qin State.
After Qin Yiren returned to the Chu kingdom, he recognized the crown prince's wife, Lady Huayang, as his mother, and lived a life without worry about food and clothing.
However, Zhao Ji's mother and son were under house arrest and lived a life of under-order imprisonment in the territory of zhao guo, and even their lives were not in their own hands.
At this time, did Zhao Ji not regret that she had agreed to cooperate with Lü Buwei's plan of "strange goods to live in"?
Odd goods can be lived in the plan map
In the fifty-sixth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin (251 BC), King Zhao of Qin died, and the crown prince An Guojun took the throne, and crowned Qin Zichu (who changed his name to Zi Chu) as the crown prince.
The tense relationship between Qin and Zhao was also eased by the new king's succession, and Zhao Guo decided to return Zhao Ji's mother and son to Qin.
After Zhao Ji's mother and son lived as prisoners for six years, they finally ushered in this great good news.
The nine-year-old Yin Zheng set foot on the land of the Qin State for the first time in his life, where he will gradually realize his grand goal of unifying the six kingdoms.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > become queen</h1>
King Xiaowen of Qin was not in good health and indulged in alcohol, and soon died.
Qin Zichu naturally ascended the throne as the King of Qin (Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang).
This prostitute-turned-Zhao Ji flew up the branches and became the queen that everyone envied.
After Qin Zichu took the throne, he carefully governed the Qin state, and the national strength of the Qin state was even higher, but he was wary and jealous of Lü Buwei's shrewd calculations.
After Lü Buwei learned of this, he consulted with Zhao Ji to get rid of Qin Zichu and establish Yingzheng as the new King of Qin.
Zhao Ji may not have a good brain, or Yingzheng is really Lü Buwei's child, in short, she actually agreed to this matter.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > become empress</h1>
Zhao Ji was already extremely beautiful, and she used all her strength to entangle Qin Zichu.
Zi Chu finally could not withstand Zhao Ji's beauty, and indulged in love night and night, but after four years, he was destined to return to the Western Heavens, at the age of only thirty-six.
At the age of thirteen, Yingzheng ascended the throne, and Zhao Ji became the empress dowager of the Imperial Household.
However, Zhao Ji did not have the skills of Wu Zetian and Cixi, and her mind was not on mastering the government of the dynasty, but on indulging in private feelings.
Therefore, Zhao Ji threw all the state affairs to Lü Buwei and named him "Zhongfu", hoping to charm him and get the rekindling of his old love with Lü Buwei.
Before King Xiang of Qin Zhuang was out of the funeral, Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei were mixed up
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > cholera</h1> palace
Lü Buwei was young and he was also the "middle father" of the emperor, so he often went in and out of the inner court.
However, Lü Buwei's age was older after all, and he was dissatisfied with Zhao Ji's desires, and he also had more than enough heart and insufficient strength.
So he recommended a man named Yan Yi (pronounced "brand short") to Zhao Ji.
It was said that Yan Yi was extremely strong in that regard, and Zhao Ji was very satisfied, and sure enough, she no longer pestered Lü Buwei.
Yi Yi
Dressed as a eunuch, she and Zhao Ji have been hanging out day and day ever since.
But it wasn't long before Zhao Ji was pregnant.
In order to conceal this ugly matter, Zhao Ji and Yan Yi made an excuse and went to live in the Yong Palace.
In this way, the two seemed to live a husband and wife life, zhao ji even gave birth to two boys, and Yingzheng did not know.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the change of the palace</h1>
In the eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Ji asked Ying Zheng to make consort Yi the Marquis of Changxin.
The power of Yan Yi began to grow day by day, and at the most, the number of doormen reached thousands, and the number of domestic servants was several thousand.
Yan Yi consulted with Zhao Ji to abolish Ying Zheng and put her children on the throne.
As I said before, Zhao Ji had a bad brain and actually agreed to this matter.
Yan Yi felt that if he wanted to get rid of Yingzheng, he must first get rid of Lü Buwei.
In the ninth year of Qin Shi Huang (238 BC), when Ying Zheng was out, she launched a coup d'état with her doormen and servants to kill Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei was scheming, had long anticipated this, and directly led the soldiers of Xianyang City to fight with Yan Yi.
Naturally, the doorman could not defeat a large number of Qin generals, and in the end, Yan Yi was captured and sentenced to the punishment of car splitting.
Ying Zheng seized this opportunity and pulled Lü Buwei down with him, on the grounds that he had sent a false eunuch to the empress.
Zhao Ji, the prostitute empress, lived all the way to the land of wandering skeletons, but was eventually detained in the Yanyang Palace by her own son Yin Zheng, and wanted to sever the mother-child relationship with him.
The two illegitimate children she gave birth to were also directly executed by Yingzheng.
Yan Yi was sentenced to the punishment of car splitting
Later, some ministers interceded with Yingzheng, saying that in order to unify the six kingdoms, they should first honor filial piety.
Only then did Yin Zheng welcome Zhao Ji from The Yang Palace back to live in Ganquan Palace in Xianyang.
After these changes, Zhao Ji had long been dead, and her power and desire had become a cloud of the past.
She spent her old age lonely at Ganquan Palace.
In the nineteenth year of Qin Shi Huang (228 BC), the prostitute empress dowager who had given her husband a green hat died.
Yingzheng posthumously honored his mother Zhao Ji as "Empress Dowager" and was buried with King Xiang of Qinzhuang.
In this regard, Zhao Ji's wonderful and absurd life came to an end.
