"No, there is a problem with your inference, if this is what you say, why doesn't the Lu family fight for the world by themselves? How can Liu Bang choose this cheap? ”

"It's very simple, Liu Bang's identity is not simple."

"What's not easy? Could it be that he can really be the son of the Red Emperor? ”

"Not really. But he's not just a gangster in the countryside. In any case, Lu Gong marrying his daughter to an old hooligan fifteen years older than her, thinking about it, knows that it is not so simple. ”

"Didn't you say that the Lu Guild would be physiognomy, could you see that Liu Banggui was unspeakable?"

"It's not so much that he sees that Liu Bang is indescribably expensive through physiognomy, but that he knows Liu Bang at all and knows that he is inherently expensive."

The women said they couldn't understand: "How can you call it unspeakably expensive?" ”

"Liu Bang, out of ten percent, ninety percent are orphans of the Zhou royal family."

"How is that possible? How does this matter? ”

"It's a big deal, and you have to listen to me tell them one by one."

Hua Xue took another sip of tea and said: "First of all, Liu Bang was born in the fifty-ninth year of King Zhou Xun, and it was precisely this year that Qin destroyed Zhou Tianzi. The Qin State would not let go of the registered members of the Zhou royal family, but it was easy for the little prince and grandson who had not yet been registered in the temple to be hidden. The Qin army didn't know that there was such an orphan, so naturally they wouldn't care. ”

"Even if there is such a child, this has nothing to do with Lu Buwei, right? How could Lü Buwei know this kid? ”

"At this time, Lu Buwei was still in Zhao State with Ying Yiren, and he really didn't know about it. However, the next thing is related: after Yiren ascended the throne, Bai Lü Buwei was the prime minister, and another branch of the Eastern Zhou royal family, Duke Wen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, conspired with the princes to attack Qin, and Yiren sent Lü Buwei to lead an army to destroy the Duchy of Eastern Zhou. ”

"According to what you say, Lü Buwei and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are the hatred of the country, how can they help the orphans of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to restore?"

"There is a rather strange question in this matter: Qin Guomeng is like a cloud, why would he let Lü Buwei lead the troops? Even if Lü Buwei is a prime minister, he is only politically talented, and it is already an exaggeration to worship the prime minister, isn't it strange to lead the troops? Do you really treat Lu Buwei as too public? ”

All the women were misled by Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Prime Minister Zhuge in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" fighting outside every day, and they didn't think it was strange for Lu Buwei to lead the troops just now, but it was really strange when I thought about it at this time. Phase, giving people the impression that they are clearly civil officials, and it was the same during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Just imagine, Zhao Guo sent troops to prevent Lian Po from commanding the troops, and sent Lin Xiangru to lead the troops, no matter how you look at it, it is not right.

"Obviously, there's something wrong with that."

"Maybe the Inhumans want to regain their military power?"

"Put it away and then release it? Yiren has been in power for three years, and every time he sends troops, he is sent to Mengfu, why is it Lü Buwei who goes this time? ”

"Well, why do you say?"

"Because this time, it was Lü Buwei who took the initiative to ask for it. Lü Buwei had to lead the troops himself, so that it was possible to keep the bloodline of the Zhou royal family endless. ”

"Isn't Lü Buwei a descendant of the Qi Kingdom? Why do you care so much about the Zhou royal family? ”

"To put it mildly, Jiang Qi has never betrayed the Zhou royal family, and the betrayer is Tian Qi. To put it mildly, the Zhou royal family and the Jiang surname Lu are fundamentally family, in-laws. ”

"It's all coerced by the Son of Heaven to order the princes, isn't it a betrayal?"

Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is another way of saying the slogan of "respecting the king" adopted by the Duke of Qi Huan at the suggestion of Guan Zhong.

This statement has clearly been misinterpreted. The word 'coercion' means auxiliary. When Jiang Taigong sealed Qi back then, there was an order he received, asking him to 'coerce the Zhou Room'. The prince of Qi Huan respected the king, just like Cao Cao's 'serving the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate', he never betrayed in his lifetime. ”

"And his descendants?"

"Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, replaced the Han family, and that was because he had always held the power; Since Duke Huan, the State of Qi has no overlord, so naturally there is no betrayal of the Han family. ”

"You make sense, but what's the matter with the in-laws?"

"The queen of King Wu of Zhou, the mother of King Cheng of Zhou, Yi Jiang, is simply the daughter of Prince Jiang. Why do you think Zhou Gongdan is afraid of rumors? He clearly knew that whoever coveted the position of the Son of Heaven would have to bear Jiang Qi's wrath. Although the State of Qi was only a marquis, under the governance of Jiang Taigong, it was actually stronger than the principality. ”

"You're too old, aren't you? In Lü Buwei's era, the eight poles can't be beaten, right? ”

"It's different. If it's just a certain generation of ancestors who are not famous, of course, they are not valued. But Queen Wu is the princess's daughter, which means that the Qi State and the Zhou royal family are blood relatives of the same root. The patriarchal ancestor of the Zhou royal family is surnamed Ji, and the maternal ancestor is surnamed Jiang, which is a proper descendant of Yan and Huang, an orthodox royal family. After the Tian dynasty Qi, it took five full years for the Zhou royal family to recognize the title of Tian. Qi is such a big country, why is the Zhou royal family so sluggish in dealing with it? I am not willing to let the last iron be gone. After that, the descendants of the Lü clan almost certainly lived under the protection of the Zhou royal family until Lü Buwei came out of the mountain. ”

"You say so, then let me ask you, Lu Buwei doesn't honestly assist the Zhou royal family, what kind of business do you go out for?"

"That makes more sense. The Lu family went out to do business, precisely for the sake of the Zhou royal family. ”

"How?"

"Have you ever heard of the allusion to the high level of debt?"

The women nodded, and then shook their heads in unison, they had all heard the word, but they didn't know the source.

"This word comes from the Book of Han, and it is indeed a bit obscure."

"Hanshu" is not a rare place, but it is basically not in the reading list of contemporary women. Especially after having the "Zizhi Tongjian", after reading the "Historical Records", I generally read the "Zizhi Tongjian". The section of "Zizhi Tongjian" is too large, and there are few people who can endure it, so the rest of the history books are even less readable. Unless you are like Guan Yu, you only have a copy of "Spring and Autumn" at home, and you can naturally only read it for decades.

Hua Xue continued to explain: "The high debt is talking about the king of Zhou Tianzi Zhou at that time. In order to be able to send troops to fight, he had to borrow military funds from wealthy households, and his poverty can be imagined. ”

In fact, this story is also mentioned in "The Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", but it is only mentioned, and the idiom is not directly stated, so the women did not think of it.

"Then Lu Buwei is no longer in business and supports strangers, isn't it not doing his job?"

"Because Lü Buwei understands that money alone can't buy the Qi Kingdom, and of course it can't revitalize the Zhou royal family. He helped Yiren ascend the throne, and he did not intend to use the Qin State to enhance the status of the royal family. It's just that I didn't expect that Yiren hadn't ascended the throne yet, and Da Zhou had already died. ”
