Video Clip: Top 10 Women in Power

This was indeed a very suspenseful question at the time, because An Guojun had more than [-] sons.

According to the usual practice, An Guojun should choose his prince among the sons born to his most favored wife, but the most favored wife Huayang is just barren.

Under such circumstances, the more than 20 sons born to Mr. An's other concubines all had extravagant hopes and secretly competed.

But in this open and secret struggle, Yiren seems to be a vulnerable group. He is in the middle of the brother rankings, neither forward nor backward.

Generally speaking, the eldest is often valued, the younger is favored, and the middle is ignored.

He was not favored in the country, had no personal connections, and now he has been detained in a foreign country for a long time, acting as a hostage in the country of Zhao. The foreigner does not seem to have any advantages, and he himself feels that it is impossible.

However, Lu Buwei's expression and Lu Buwei's words made Yiren feel that there was a lot to say, and his attitude suddenly softened, and he pretended to be heart-to-heart.

Lu Buwei went on to say: "On the surface, you don't seem to have any advantages, but this can also be your advantage, because no one will guard against you right now. If no one is guarding against you, you will have fewer opponents, and you can take advantage of others." Prepare, take advantage of it. I have already helped you find the best entry point."

This entry point is Mrs. Huayang—the wife of Huayang who has no fertility but is favored by Mr. An.

Mrs. Huayang is favored, so her words will have weight; and she has no children, her words will make people feel objective and fair.

Therefore, Lu Buwei said that if a foreigner intends to compete for the position of the prince, he, Lu Buwei, is willing to give all he has to build a relationship with Mrs. Huayang, and go west to Qin to lobby for the foreigner.

In just a few words, Lu Buwei explained clearly his steps, methods, and means of action.

Yiren was overjoyed, and immediately promised: "If this matter can be accomplished, I am willing to share half of Qin's land with you."

Thus, Lu Buwei started a series of famous operations.

He started to operate the most thrilling big business since he was in business, and started to run a big business that shocked the past and the present.

He spent a lot of money on Yiren, and let Yiren make friends in Handan to establish a good external image-this is called "peripheral warfare."

At the same time, Lu Buwei brought his gold ten thousand taels and headed for the capital of Qin State.

But how to get close to Mrs. Huayang?
Lu Buwei fixed his eyes on Mrs. Huayang's sister.

Mrs. Huayang and her sister have a deep relationship, and they almost obey her sister's words.

It is ingenious to choose such a character to implement his plan.

Lu Buwei went all out and took out two rare and rare gifts in the world, one for Mrs. Huayang's sister, and one for Mrs. Huayang.

Lu Buwei successfully recruited Mrs. Huayang's sister with three moves and two moves, making her his voice.

When Mrs. Huayang's sister, who received property from others, gave her a rare gift, of course she took the opportunity to praise the talents of the other person, especially highlighting the filial piety and loyalty of the other person to Mrs. Huayang.

After identifying the breakthrough point of Mrs. Huayang's sister, he warned Mrs. Huayang through the mouth of Mrs. Huayang's sister: "The favor obtained by relying on beauty, once the beauty disappears, the favor will also disappear. Right now, Mrs. Huayang gets His love has reached the extreme, but because he has no son, if he does not cultivate a talented man among the concubine sons when his power reaches its peak, and decides to be his son-in-law. Impossible. If you want to leave a way out for yourself, I suggest you pay attention to Yiren.

Because among the princes, Yiren is the most talented, but there is no backer right now, if Madam can give him a hand and let Yiren, who was originally impossible, become the prince, how could Yiren not be grateful and repay his kindness?

Now you can be the backer of the stranger, but in the future the stranger can be your backer. If this is true, the status of the wife will be no worries. "

This passage is sensible and reasonable, and every sentence hits Mrs. Zhonghuayang's weakness. There is no reason why she should not be moved.

That's right, in the harem of the Qin Kingdom, where the wind and waves are high and the waves are rough, Mrs. Huayang, who does not have a son and a half, has no guarantee of her status. She may lose everything she owns at any time.

Things developed as Lu Buwei expected, and the lowly and hopeless alien finally won out and became the legal heir of the future Qin State.

Lu Buwei is carrying out a terrifying conspiracy. He wants to push the stranger to the forefront of Qin's political arena.

In the process of implementing this plan, it is inevitable that Lu Buwei and Yiren will meet frequently, so it is inevitable that Yiren will often go to Lu Buwei's house.It is reasonable for Yiren to meet Lu Buwei's concubine Zhao Ji inadvertently.

This encounter gave birth to a historical case.

Maybe it's because Zhao Ji is too beautiful, maybe it's because aliens are so rare and weird.

In any case, the scene at that time was that the stranger fell in love with Zhao Ji at first sight, fell in love at first sight, and sighed as a heavenly man.

He immediately made an unexpected move: toasted Lu Buwei very graciously.

Then, he made an unexpected request, brazenly asking Lu Buwei to transfer the girl, Zhao Ji, to himself.

The stranger's request not only made Lu Buwei a little angry, but also made Lu Buwei a little embarrassed. Who is willing to hand over his concubine to others?

But Lu Buwei thought about it later, he almost broke his family and worked so hard to pack the stranger, for what?
Isn't it for the huge profits in the future?
Now that it is close to success, how can it be because a woman offends another person that he feels unhappy? If so, wouldn't the cooked duck fly away again?

Perhaps, Lu Buwei's attitude recorded in "Historical Records" is reasonable: his concubine is asked by another person, give it, I can't bear it;

In the dilemma, Lu Buwei made a decision to "offer his concubine", even though she was pregnant.

Because there are many women in the world, but Yiren is the only one.

"Ji Zibu is pregnant", that is, she voluntarily chose to hide the fact that she was pregnant from another person.No one knows why Zhao Ji did this.

The act of "hiding her pregnancy" shows that Zhao Ji is a girl who is more careful, decisive, and responsible.

Because of her "self-concealed pregnancy", she successfully became the prince of Qin.

In this way, when it was time to give birth, Zhao Ji gave birth to a boy.

Because the boy was born in the first lunar month, he was named "Zheng".

Because the surname of the royal family of Qin State was Ying, the boy's full name was "Ying Zheng".

And because he was born in the country of Zhao, this boy is sometimes called "Zhao Zheng".

After giving birth to a boy, Zhao Ji's status suddenly improved a lot, and she was registered as his wife by a different person.

It turned out to be the concubine of the merchant Lu Buwei, but now she is the official wife of the prince Yiren. There is naturally a big difference between the two.

However, at that time, no one thought that Ying Zheng, who was born in Zhao, would later become the emperor of the ages——Qin Shihuang.

For a long time, Sima Qian's account has been accepted by history and no one has raised any objections.

In the Ming Dynasty, the situation changed, and some people began to cautiously doubt Sima Qian's account.

For example, Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty believed that Qin Shihuang was an illegitimate son, which probably came from Lu Buwei's disciples or the survivors of the six kingdoms destroyed by Qin.

It is "the one who does good things in the Warring States Period".

Liang Yusheng of the Qing Dynasty believed that the reason why Sima Qian wrote "Ji Zi concealed her pregnancy, and gave birth to Zizheng in the Daji period" was to "don't dislike the Ming Dynasty", indicating that the legend was not reliable.

It should not be considered that Sima Qian took this incident as a historical fact, but that he actually had reservations about whether Qin Shihuang was an illegitimate child.

From the Ming Dynasty to today, scholars mainly deny that Qin Shihuang was an illegitimate child from the following aspects.

One is gossip, thinking that Qin Shihuang's illegitimate son was made up by people in the Warring States Period because they were bored after dinner;
The second is conspiracy theory, which believes that some people create public opinion for the purpose of some kind of political struggle;
The third is the theory of smearing or venting anger, thinking that the descendants of the six countries who were destroyed, for the sake of spiritual victory, fabricated the lie that Qin Shihuang was the illegitimate son of Lu Buwei.The fourth is the theory of isolated evidence, which believes that the life experience of Qin Shihuang recorded in "Historical Records" is not found in other historical books.
