Was Qin Shi Huang the son of L Buwei or the son of Zichu Yiren ?

According to the Historical Records, Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, was originally a wealthy man in Puyang, Henan, and was a well-known businessman. But he was not satisfied with this status and life with thousands of furniture, he was ambitious, and coveted the royal power. So, Lü Buwei packed up and went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and carefully planned a big conspiracy to pass on the idea of Yiren, the grandson of King Qin, who was being a hostage in Zhao State, to Mrs. Huayang, who was being favored, and in an instant, Yiren was made his heir and renamed Zichu.

Soon, state affairs changed. King Qin Zhao and King Xiaowen died one after another, and Zi Chu ascended to the throne in a dignified manner, and Lü Buwei was named prime minister. After that, Lü Buwei dedicated his beloved Ji Zhao Ji to Zi Chu, gave birth to Ying Zheng, and was named the queen, but Zi Chu died after only three years of reign, so his son Ying Zheng naturally inherited the throne, which was later Qin Shi Huang.

Lü Buwei thought that Yingzheng was his own son, and asked Yingzheng to call himself the "middle father", and he was in charge of national political affairs, becoming a big man under one person, above ten thousand people, leaning towards the government and the opposition, and covering the sky with one hand, Lü Buwei's secret plan in Handan was realized. The reasons for the assertion that Lü Buwei and Qin Shi Huang had a father-son relationship are: First, this can show that Qin Shi Huang is not the descendant of the Qin royal family, and those who oppose Qin Shi Huang have found a good reason for rebellion.

Second, Lü Buwei adopted a strategy to defeat the political struggle of the Marquis of Changxin, in an attempt to gain the support of Qin Shi Huang and strengthen his own fighting strength through the affection of his father and son. Third, to solve the hatred of Qin and the destruction of the Six Kingdoms. Lü Buwei, a man of the "Six Kingdoms", did not move a single soldier, and used stratagem to put his son on the throne of Qin and seize his country, so the anger of destroying the country could be eliminated.

Fourth, most of the sources after the Han Dynasty believe that Yingzheng was the son of Lü Buwei, which seeks a historical basis for the Han to replace Qin, and their logic is that the inner palace of the Qin king is so filthy, how to govern a country well, so it is natural that Qin will die quickly. Later generations also believed that the above legend could not be established. First, from the perspective of Zichu, even if there is a conspiracy by Lü Buwei, the possibility of its realization is very slim.

Because when King Qin Zhao was on the throne, he may not necessarily pass the throne to Zichu, let alone imagine Zichu's future son. Second, considering Qin Shi Huang's date of birth, if Zhao Ji was pregnant before entering the palace, Qin Shi Huang would definitely be born before the deadline, and Zi Chu would not be unaware of this. It can be seen that Qin Shi Huang's biological father should be Zi Chu, not Lü Buwei.

Third, judging from Zhao Ji's background, there are also a lot of articles. "Historical Records: The First Emperor of Qin" records that after Qin destroyed Zhao, the king of Qin came to Handan in person and killed all those who had grudges with the queen mother's family of Qin. Since Zhao Ji was born in a wealthy family, how could she first be Lu Buwei's concubine, and then be sacrificed as the wife of another person?

In this way, there will be no story of Zhao Ji being pregnant with Lu Buwei's child in her belly and then marrying to another person. The mystery of life experience can only be left to future generations to speculate, and the idiom "strange goods can live" has been passed down to the world.

This issue is being discussed in the historiography circles, and the question is whether the queen was conceived by Lü Buwei or by Yiren.

In fact, when this question is asked, it is undoubtedly doubtful that Qin Shi Huang is the son of King Xiang (Zi Chu) of Qin Zhuang or the son of Lü Buwei? Qin Shi Huang succeeded Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang and ascended the throne as the crown prince, Qin Shi Huang's mother Zhao Ji used to be Lü Buwei's love concubine, and later dedicated to Zi Chu and was named queen, and later Qin Shi Huang's son is still controversial.

I'm only doing analysis, there are two kinds.

Why do people think that Qin Shi Huang was the son of Lü Buwei?

1. In this way, the later opponents of the tyrannical Qin rule found a reason to believe that Qin Shi Huang was not the descendant of the Qin dynasty.

2. It was Lü Buwei's strategy, Lü Buwei had been having a political struggle with Changxinhou, trying to gain the support of Qin Shi Huang and increase his political power with the love of father and son. (Lü Buwei asked Qin Shi Huang to call himself "middle father").

3. In order to understand the hatred of Qin to destroy the Six Kingdoms, Lü Buwei used a strategy to let his son seize the Qin State and balance his heart, which is obviously insufficient.

4. Many sources after the Han Dynasty show that Qin Shi Huang was the son of Lü Buwei, and they thought that the palace of the Qin Dynasty was so filthy, how could it cure a country and win people's hearts.

There are also many people who think that Qin Shi Huang is the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, and has nothing to do with Lü Buwei?

1. From the perspective of King Xiang (Zichu) of Qin Zhuang, although Lü Buwei is smart, the possibility of this conspiracy being realized is too low, does Lü Buwei know that King Qin Zhao will pass on the throne to Zichu? I wouldn't have thought that Zi Chu's future "son Qin Shi Huang" would be able to ascend the throne.

2. Judging from Qin Shi Huang's date of birth, if Zhao Ji was pregnant before entering the palace, Qin Shi Huang would definitely give birth in advance, do you think Zi Chu is a fool? This is important and the strongest evidence.

3, Zhao Ji's background is also very well-written, "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that after the Zhao State was destroyed, Qin Shi Huang personally went to Handan and killed all the grudges with the Qin Queen Mother's family, Zhao Ji was born in a wealthy family, it is impossible to be Lu Buwei's love Ji first, and then be dedicated to Zi Chu as a wife, so there is no more Zhao Ji is pregnant and then married to Zi Chu!

So I personally believe that Qin Shi Huang is the son of King Xiang (Zi Chu) of Qin Zhuang, and the same is true of historical records, no matter what his life experience is, but the idiom "strange goods can live" has been passed down to this day.

The Great Qin Empire said that it was Zichu's son, but Lü Buwei always thought it was his son.

There is no way to correct the historical problem, what others say is not necessarily right, and there may be a bigger secret to come.
