Qin Shi Huang was the son of King Zhuangxiang or the son of L Buwei

In the forty-eighth year of King Zhao of Qin (259 BC), Ying Zheng was born in Zhao State. Judging from the lineage of the monarch of Qin, his father was Chu (i.e., Yiren, who was later established as King Zhuangxiang) of Qin, who was hostage to Zhao at that time. "Historical Records 6 1 Qin Benji" says; "King Zhuang Xiang died, Zi Zhengli, for the first emperor of Qin.

However, "Historical Records 6 1 The Biography of Lü Buwei" records a legendary story of Ying Zhengshi being the son of Lü Buwei, saying that Lü Buwei first lived with a Zhao Ji who could sing and dance, and after knowing that Zhao Ji was pregnant, he asked Zhao Ji to seduce Zi Chu. Soon Zichu fell in love with Zhao Ji, and Lü Buwei dedicated Zhao Ji to Zichu. Zhao Ji gave birth to Yingzheng after being full-term, and Zi Chu then made Zhao Ji his wife.

Zichu returned to China to inherit the throne, and passed the throne to Zizheng after his death. This statement was accepted by Ban Gu, so the Book of Han called Ying Zheng Lu Zheng. Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty doubted the authenticity of this account in the Biography of Lü Buweilie and put forward two reasons:

First, in order to keep himself rich and prosperous for a long time, Lü Buwei deliberately fabricated the story that he was the father of Qin Shi Huang; The second is that Lü Buwei's disciples scolded Qin Shi Huang as an illegitimate child to vent their anger and fabricated this theory. Guo Moruo's "Ten Criticisms" also doubted that Lü Buwei was the biological father of Qin Wangzheng, and pointed out three doubts: first, only the "Historical Records" was not included in the "National Policy", and there was no other circumstantial evidence; Second, the story of He Chun Shenjun and the female ring is like a stereotyped article, with a large plot category**; Third, "The Biography of Lü Buweilie" also has the saying that "the daughter of Mrs. Zichu Zhao Hao", which obviously contradicts the above story.

Guo Zhikun's "The Biography of Qin Shi Huang" made-for-tat criticism of Guo Moruo's three questions. He thinks, first, that many of the records in the "Historical Records" are not contained in the "Warring States Policy", and there is no circumstantial evidence, so the authenticity of the "Historical Records" is still maintained; Second, the story of Chun Shenjun and the female ring is from "Warring States Policy 6 1 Chu Ce". The stories contained in the "Records of the Historians" are similar to this, which does not negate the authenticity of the records in the "Records of the Historians", but only shows that this method of struggle was used by many political figures at that time; Third, there is no contradiction.

Sima Qian said that Lü Buwei took "Handan Zhuji is a good dancer" and dedicated it to Zichu, and this "Ji" is "Zhao Hao's daughter", which makes perfect sense. Guo Zhikun further cited Ban Gu's statement that Qin Shi Huang was "Lü Zheng". Pei Si's "Historical Records Collection Explanation":

Lü Zheng, the first emperor's name and government, is Lü Buwei Xingji has a sacrifice to give birth to the first emperor, so Yun Lü Zheng. Guo Zhikun also pointed out: "Saying that Qin Shi Huang was an illegitimate child does not affect his great image of unifying China."

For example, Confucius and Jesus were illegitimate children, but this does not damage their image. Even so, the issue of Qin Shi Huang's biological father may continue to be debated. Satisfied.

"King Yingzheng's biological father must be King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Lu Buwei doesn't dare, and it can't be Yingzheng's father, there is no doubt about it.

His father should be Lü Buwei, and he also hated Lü Buwei because of this incident, and even killed the other party. Qin Shi Huang thought his blood was very dirty.

I think it should be Lü Buwei, because Lü Buwei did have a relationship with Qin Shihuang's mother Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji also admitted this matter.

Speaking of Qin Shi Huang's life experience, there are some twists and turns. Qin Shi Huang was born in the Warring States Period, when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States fought for many years, and the people were struggling to survive. As the careful management of several generations of Qin's ancestors, it has become the most powerful country among the Seven Kingdoms, which has created favorable conditions for Qin Shi Huang to unify the world in the future

Zi Chu is the grandson of King Qin Zhao and the son of the crown prince An Guojun. An Guojun has more than 20 sons, and Zichu is in the middle. Zichu's mother was not favored, and he was not the eldest son, so he was sent to Zhao and became a down-and-out son whose father did not hurt and his mother did not love.

At this time, Lü Buwei appeared, he made a fortune by war, did business to Zhao State, and inadvertently met Zichu. Lü Buwei traveled to and from various countries, and he was very familiar with the political situation of various countries, and he knew the inside story of the Qin State officials very well. He knew that An Guojun's favorite Mrs. Huayang had no children, so he sent Mrs. Huayang's sister with gold and silver, and asked her to lobby Mrs. Huayang to make Zi Chu the heir

After Lü Buwei obtained the right to inherit the throne for Zi Chu, he returned to Handan, drank and had fun with Zi Chu all day long, made friends with the world's heroes, and waited for Zi Chu's turn to sit on the throne of Qin. also found a beautiful girl who can sing and dance for Zichu to live with, as the history says"Zhao Ji. In the first month of the forty-eighth year of King Qin Zhao (259 BC), Zhao Ji gave birth to a son after 13 months of pregnancy, which was the later unification of the world.

Regarding his life experience, there are still people who have caught it"Zhao Ji. "Pregnant for too long to make an article, thinking that Ying Zheng is not Zichu's son, but Lu Buwei's own flesh and blood, but this is a wild history after all, and it is ,.. not to believe it

The first statement: Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei, a native of Puyang, the late Warring States period. Originally a big businessman, he met Qin Gongzi Yiren who was qualitated in Zhao in Handan, the capital of Zhao, and thought that "strange goods can live", because he entered Qin to lobby Mrs. Huayang, and set up Yiren as the prince. King Xiang of Qin Zhuang succeeded to the throne, appointed as the prime minister, and sealed the letter of the marquis.

King Xiang of Qin Zhuang died, and King Zheng of Qin succeeded to the throne at a young age, succeeding Xiangguo, known as the "middle father". Ying Zheng was thirteen years old and ascended the throne as the king of Qin.

Although Lü Buwei was a very successful businessman, he deeply felt that the social status of merchants was too low, and in the era of turmoil, Zhao was too weak compared to Qin, and he germinated the ambition to go to Qin to enter politics. Lü Buwei was far-sighted and used the hostages of the Qin State to win against the aliens and set up a plan to enter the Qin State.

Zhao Ji is a prostitute in Handan, she was born a sinking fish and a goose, and she is very moving. Lü Buwei did not hesitate to buy her as a concubine. A few months later, Zhao Ji became pregnant.

Lü Buwei told Zhao Ji: "I plan to seek the Qin State, so I will marry you, and when you have a pregnancy, I will sacrifice it to a stranger." Yiren is now hostage to Zhao and has no wife.

If the son is a man, the alien will be established as the heir, and after the death of the alien, the son will inevitably ascend the throne, and you and I will take the world of Qin by this! ”

The second version: King Xiang of Qinzhuang.

Ying Zheng was born in the 48th year of King Zhao of Qin. King Qin Zhao is Yingzheng's great-grandfather, and there is also his grandfather King Qin Xiaowen and his father King Qin Zhuang Xiang, that is, his son Chu. Zi Chu was only one of the many grandsons of King Qin Zhao who was abandoned at that time, and it was almost impossible to inherit the throne, and it was inconceivable that Lü Buwei bet the treasure on him, let alone Zi Chu's successor?

King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang happened to be very short-lived, one reigned only one year and the other only three years, so Yingzheng ascended to the throne early. If Lü Buwei could foresee this coincidence, he would really be a god.

From a scientific point of view, it is even more problematic to say that Lü Buwei was the biological father of Qin Shi Huang. Obviously, Ying Zheng was born a year after Zhao Ji married Zi Chu, and later generations have the bizarre legend of being 12 months pregnant in order to say that Ying Zheng is the son of Lu Buwei. The average human gestation time from the date of conception is less than 9 months, only 266 days.

Because the ancients did not know the time of conception of women, they had the inaccurate saying "ten months of pregnancy". If you are really pregnant for 10 months, it is quite dangerous for the fetus, let alone 12 months of pregnancy.

Based on medical common sense, we can conclude that Qin Shi Huang could not have been the son of Lü Buwei. Although the statement that Lü Buwei is the biological father of Qin Shi Huang is not found in other historical materials such as the "Warring States Policy", and was first put forward in the "Historical Records", the reason why current historians do not dare to deny or even affirm this statement is because they believe in Sima Qian and think that Taishi Gong will not write nonsense.
