After Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, why did he erase the existence of Lü Buwei's other sons? Is Yingzheng really Lü Buwei's only son? Or is there something else going on?
Money is the power of the heart. Who is Ying Zheng's father?
Lü Buwei was arguably the most successful merchant in ancient times, and he used his money and power to control the entire Qin state.
Thanks to Lü Buwei's generous support for Yingzheng, the crown prince eventually ascended to the throne of Qin. Lü Buwei thus became the prime minister of Qin, from a businessman to a powerful tycoon.
However, the two historical books about Ying Zheng's biological father contradict each other: the "Historical Records" says that he was the son of Ying Feiren, while the "Historical Records-Lian Po Lin Xiangru Biography" says that he was born to Lü Buwei.
Why? Ying Zheng is a clever politician, and he knows better than anyone that Ying Yiren must have royal blood in order to legally inherit the throne. Therefore, although it is impossible to find out whether Ying Yiren is his father or not, he will never reveal the truth about his father.
The relationship between Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji is also extremely complicated. Lü Buwei used his own money to sell the beautiful Zhao Ji to the two of them. However, they both gave birth to Yingzheng, who eventually inherited the throne. There are various indications that Yingzheng's father is likely to be Lü Buwei himself.
Why is the relationship between Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji so ambiguous?
Maybe Lü Buwei recommended Zhao Ji only for political purposes, to support Ying Yiren. However, those close to power are often inevitably corrupt. Lü Buwei also gradually lost his way and began to envy Zhao Ji's beauty.
On the other hand, Ying Yiren, who is under house arrest in Zhao State, is very lonely. Zhao Ji's friendship has become her only spiritual support. An intimate relationship was developed between them. In the end, Lü Buwei couldn't control himself and had a relationship with Zhao Ji. This emotional encounter also contributed to the birth of Ying Zheng.
In this way, Ying Zheng inherited Lü Buwei's political talent and Ying Yiren's royal bloodline. This may have been an important reason why he was able to defeat all his opponents, pacify the Six Kingdoms, and establish the Qin Dynasty. However, in the long course of history, the truth has always been difficult to verify. Whether Ying Zheng's father was Lü Buwei or Ying Yiren has been a mystery for hundreds of years.
Second, do successful people have a lot of sinful children? Lü Buwei's secret descendant.
How could Lü Buwei, as a successful businessman and politician, not have other wives and concubines?
After Chang Yu's rebellion, Yingzheng was furious and expelled Lü Buwei from Xianyang and exiled to Shu. His command was:"You and your family go to the Western Regions to enjoy the blessings! "
The so-called"Dependents"Obviously not an employee of the Lu family. This proves that Lü Buwei must have other biological heirs. Otherwise, Ying Zheng would not have assigned these people to Lü Buwei.
Lü Buwei's descendants inherited the Shu Kingdom, and the Western Han Dynasty set up a special Buwei County, which was composed of Lü Buwei's descendants. Lü Buwei had at least two sons, Lü Luan and Lü Hui, with Lü Hui establishing the Later Liang regime through his descendant Lü Guang.
Where did Lü Buwei's other heirs come from?
Perhaps Lü Buwei was so busy helping Ying Yiren that he neglected his own family, and quietly added many heirs to his family.
The private lives of successful people are often hidden from outsiders. However, it can be speculated that after Lü Buwei became famous, he had a group of wives and concubines. It is inevitable that there are illegitimate children hidden in it.
Lü Buwei, on the other hand, focused on intrigue and intrigue and tried to enter the upper class. He may have deliberately allowed his wives and concubines to have children in order to strengthen his power in case of emergency. The children born to these concubines could serve Lü Buwei.
This is why Lü Buwei was still able to put a large number of people after being expelled from Shu"Family"Bring it to Shudi. these"Family"Most likely his secret heirs and their families.
Lü Buwei lived a successful business life through skillful means. It is not difficult for him to leave a legacy that will go down in history. However, Ying Zheng killed and imprisoned all these illegitimate children, and finally made them disappear.
3. The embodiment of the emperor's talents and the revelation of truth.
If Lü Buwei's bloodline is so rich, why are his descendants rarely seen in history?
Just because the Yellow Emperor wants to close**.
Ying Zheng knew that Lü Buwei's other heirs, especially dignitaries like Lü Hui, might threaten his position.
Therefore, he ordered that all records of Lü Buwei's other heirs be erased, and that no trace of them be allowed to appear in the history books.
Not only that, but he also sent Lü Buwei's entire family to Shu, thousands of miles away from the center of power, further weakening Lü Buwei's power.
However, sending and deleting records was not enough to appease Yingzheng. He also launched a book-burning campaign to ban any dissent and build a veritable prison.
Historical"Book burning pit Confucianism", so that a large number of pre-Qin classics turned into ashes. also completely buried the existence of Lü Buwei's descendants.
All written and printed materials about Lü Buwei have been destroyed. No trace of him was found. Ying Zheng ended his worries with this bold action and established a ** empire in the true sense of the word.
But how can historical facts be completely erased? Even if Yingzheng succeeded in burying the deeds of Lü Buwei's descendants, it would not benefit his power in the long run.
iv.The difficulty of distinguishing between good and evil and the multiple powers of the king.
Looking back, we can say that the relationship between Lü Buwei and Ying Zheng is a relationship in which it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and there is no distinction between right and wrong.
On the one hand, Lü Buwei supported the Yingyi people with power and money, which indirectly promoted the unification of the Qin state and achieved great success.
And Lü Buwei tried every means to include Chang Yu in the harem to ensure that his children could inherit the throne and deceive the emperor to usurp the throne.
While consolidating his power, Ying Zheng regarded Lü Buwei as a major trouble, and it was inevitable that he would be short-sighted and suspicious, which led to the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
There are all kinds of indications that Lü Buwei and Yingzheng are not just positive figures. The conflict between them also foreshadowed the rise and fall of the Qin dynasty.
Lü Buwei, in particular, not only helped Yingzheng seize power, but also intended to continue to control the government. Ying Zheng suspected that Lü Buwei was fighting for power and profit, but his ability could not surpass him, so he began to suspect and kill him, and Lü Buwei also died because of it.
Both are masters of political power play. While they take advantage of each other, they also shield and restrain each other. This life-and-death power game led to an extreme lack of trust in the ruling core of the Qin Dynasty and bending the law for personal gain, which eventually led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
There is no real justice in Game of Thrones. The wheels of history are still turning, and all the tricks and calculations will eventually turn to dust.
