Volume I Chapter 1 Shu land shocking changes
In the 40th year of King Zhaoge of Qin, the Prince of Qin died. In the 42nd year of King Zhaoge, the second son of King Zhaoge, An Guojun, was appointed as the Crown Prince. An Guojun had more than 20 children. His beloved wife was appointed as the first wife and was given the name Lady Huayang. Lady Huayang had no children at her side. An Guojun had a son named Zi Chu, who was the middle son in the line, whose mother was Xia Ji and was not favored. Zi Chu was living in Zhao as a hostage of Qin. Because Qin repeatedly attacked Zhao, Zhao was also very rude to Zi Chu.
As a member of the common princes, Zi Chu lived in Zhao as a hostage, but he was not well-off and had to live on a tight budget. Once, Lu Bu Wei went to Handan, the capital of Zhao, on business, and seeing this situation, he was greatly impressed and said, "This is a rare treasure that can be accumulated!" So he went to beg to see Zi Chu and said to him, "I can make you rich in the world and noble as the son of heaven." When Zi Chu heard this, he laughed and said, "You'd better make yourself rich first, and then make me rich." Lu Bu Wei said, "You don't know, but my wealth will be realized only after you are rich." Zi Chu knew what Lu Bu Wei was referring to, so he talked to him and said a lot of words from his heart.
Lu Bu Wei said, "The king of Qin is old, and An Guojun is now the prince. I heard that An Guojun loves Lady Huayang the most, and she has no children, so only Lady Huayang can be the successor. You have more than 20 brothers, and you are the middle of the line, and you have been a hostage to the vassals for a long time, so how can you be valued by King An. In this way, even if King Zhaoge dies and King An is crowned king of Qin, you will not be able to compete with your eldest brother and the princes for the throne." Zi Chu was deeply impressed and said, "Then, in your opinion, what should be done?" Lu Bu Wei said, "You are not rich, and you are living here, so you have no money to give to your friends and relatives, and you can't invite guests. Although I am not rich, I would like to use a thousand pieces of gold to lobby the Qin court for Duke Xi, so that King An and Lady Hua Yang will make him their successor." When Zi Chu heard this, he knelt down and said, "If your plan really comes true, I would like to share the state of Qin with you equally."
Lobbying the Qin Court
So Lu Bu Wei gave 500 jins of gold to Zi Chu for his daily expenses and for the needs of his guests and wise men. He also said, "Lady Huayang is the spiritual support of my son Chu, and I think of my father and his wife day and night." Lady Huayang was very happy when she heard that. Lu Bu Wei asked his sister to say to Lady Hua Yang, "I have heard that those who are favored by their beauty will no longer be favored when they are old and decrepit, but now you serve Prince An Guojun, if you let her choose a successor at this time, you will be favored while An Guojun is on the throne, and after An Guojun is a hundred years old, the son he proposes will never lose his favor! If you don't prepare for the afterlife when you are lucky, when you are in love, you may want to make a suggestion, but will An Guojun still be so obedient? Among the sons, Zi Chu is the most virtuous and filial, but he knows that he is the middle in rank, and according to the law, the second son is not allowed to be the heir, and his mother is not favored by him, so he wants to follow your wife. If you can make Zi Chu your heir, you will be favored by Qin for the rest of your life.
After hearing this, Lady Hua Yang felt the same way. Once, when she was serving the king of An, Lady Hua Yang spoke of Zi Chu calmly, praising him as the most virtuous and filial of all the princes, even though he was a hostage in Zhao, and he was praised by everyone from Zhao. Then she cried, "I have been wrongly loved by the king to serve him, but unfortunately I have no son at all. Seeing that the wife was so sad for the sake of the country, An Guojun agreed. In order to prevent future changes, he and his wife engraved a jade talisman to establish Zi Chu as the heir. They asked Lu Bu Wei to be Zi Chu's teacher and serve him at all times. Zi Chu's reputation among the vassals was thus greatly enhanced.
Step by step
Among the concubines he had married in Handan, Lu Bu Wei was living with a beautiful woman who could sing and dance well and was pregnant. One day, Zi Chu and Lu Bu Wei were drinking together and Zi Chu fell in love at first sight with his concubine. When he was in the middle of the drink, Zi Chu got up to toast Bu Wei and asked him to give him the beautiful concubine. Lu Bu Wei was furious at hearing this, but when he thought that he had already lost his family's money for Zi Chu and wanted to catch a big fish with this oddity, he reluctantly agreed. She did not tell Zi Chu about her pregnancy, but when she was in labor, she gave birth to Zi Zheng. Zi Chu made this Ji his wife.
In the 50th year of King Zhaoge of Qin, he sent his general Wang Jian to besiege Handan. In an emergency, Zhao wanted to kill Zi Chu, but Zi Chu and Lu Bu Wei negotiated and bribed the guards with 600 pounds of gold to escape. The Zhao state wanted to kill Zi Chu's wife and son, but Zi Chu's wife was the daughter of a powerful family in Zhao state and was able to hide, so the mother and son survived. In the 56th year of King Zhao of Qin, King Zhao died and Prince An Guojun was made king, Lady Hua Yang was the queen and Zi Chu was the crown prince, Zhao also sent Lady Zi Chu and her son Zheng back to Qin.
Reign of the King
King An Guojun died a year after his reign as king, and was named King Xiaowen posthumously. Prince Zichu was crowned in his stead and was named King Xiang. King Xiang's mother, Queen Huayang, was named Empress Dowager Huayang, and his birth mother, Xia Ji, was honored as Empress Dowager Xia. In the first year of King Xiang, Lu Buwei was made prime minister and was named Marquis of Wenxin, and given 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan Province.
The Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals
At that time, Wei had Lord Xinling, Chu had Lord Chunshen, Zhao had Lord Pingping, and Qi had Lord Mengchang, all of whom were courteous and liked to make friends with guests. Lu Bu Wei, who was a strong Qin ruler, was not as good as these four, so he recruited wise men from all over the world and gave them generous gifts, so much so that he had 3,000 guests. At that time, there were many people among the vassals who could speak well, such as Xunzi, whose books were all over the world. Lv Buwei let his guests write down what they saw and heard, put together, classified as the great success of all things ancient and modern, so the name of the "Lv's Spring and Autumn", also put this book in Xianyang city gate, and offer a reward of a thousand gold to invite the vassal travelers who can add or subtract a word, a reward of a thousand gold.
***Harem
Qin Shi Huang grew up, but the Empress Dowager lusted for more. The first time I saw him, I was afraid that he would be in trouble, so I secretly found a "big yin" poison, and took him under the door, so that he would want to have s*x, and let the poison in the "yin" hanging tung wheel walking, deliberately let the Empress Dowager hear, so as to lure the Empress Dowager. When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was really tempted. Then Lu Bu Wei offered Poison to the Empress Dowager, and had Poison falsely accused of being guilty and subjected to corruption, and Lu Bu Wei secretly said to the Empress Dowager, "I can have the corruption fraudulently applied so that I can be in the palace often." The Empress Dowager then bribed the officials who were in charge of the punishment with heavy money, so that they could not impose corrupt punishment, but only remove their beards to serve as eunuchs. Then he had to serve the Empress Dowager. After the Empress Dowager had an affair with him, she liked him very much. Soon she became pregnant, and because she was afraid that others would find out, she lied about the result of divination when she avoided leaving the palace. So she moved her palace to Yong. He was very generously rewarded and listened to Poison in all matters, with a thousand servants and more than a thousand guests.
What happened in the east
In the ninth year of Qin Shi Huang, someone reported that Poison was not a eunuch, but often had an affair with the Empress Dowager, and had two sons, both of whom were hidden away. He plotted with the Empress Dowager and said, "After the death of the king, he will make his illegitimate son the king." So the king of Qin put all the people involved in the case in prison and tortured them, but they all found out the truth, and the minister Lu Bu Wei was also involved. In the ninth month of that year, the three clans of Poison were beheaded, the two illegitimate sons of the Queen Mother were killed, and the Queen Mother was moved to Yong. The family members of Poison were also lost and sent to Shu. The king of Qin wanted to execute Xiangguo, but because of his great service to the previous king and the lobbying of his guests, the king of Qin did not want to punish him.
In the tenth month of the tenth year of the Qin dynasty, Lu Buwei was removed from his post as minister. The King of Qin sent the Empress Dowager back to Xianyang from Yong and let Lu Buwei return to his fief in Henan.
Suicide by drinking hemlock
At the end of the year, ambassadors and guests from all the vassal states met at the road to see Lu Bu Wei. The king of Qin, fearing that he was plotting against him, gave him a letter saying, "Sir, what merit have you done for Qin? Qin has granted you a salary of 100,000 households in Henan province. What is your kinship with Qin, sir? And the name is Zhong father. So Lu Bu Wei and his family were ordered to move to Shu..."
The king is the holder of the supreme power, nine hundred and ninety-nine is the number of heaven, not a man can have, the son of heaven is the son of heaven, on behalf of heaven to order the world, so the son of heaven for nine to five supreme.
Looking at the poison in his hand, Lu Buwei suddenly felt like laughing, he is not afraid of death, but just like this death, he felt very reluctant.
The lightning and thunder outside, the sky also seems to know his failure, are roaring madly.
Outside are all the people of the King of Qin, his own defeat, has become an ironclad fact.
"Good boy, worthy of my Lu Bu Wei's son"
As soon as he tilted his head and drank the poisoned wine given by the King of Qin, just at this time, a lightning bolt cut through the sky instantly penetrated the house and struck Lu Bu Wei who had just drunk the poisoned wine.
In an instant, he felt that the sky was spinning and his last consciousness was secretly thinking: "Am I going to leave the world like this? Is it possible that the imperial power that was within my reach is just gone? No, no, no, I am not willing! Why is God so unjust? Why is God so unjust? The earth is unkind, and all things are ruminants.
I wanted to roar out again, but it was too late, he found himself unable to speak, only to think.
The illusion of the illusion of death ~ ~ Lu Bu Wei felt the soul left the body, floating by a strange thought attracted, can not help but think: "Could it be, almost to the nine ghosts region? Suddenly, he felt a bright light in the darkness came to him, followed by no consciousness at all ~~"
