Chapter 226: The Zhou Chamber Returns to Qin and the Six Kingdoms Decline
"So Lü Buwei wants to go out in person to protect the bloodline of the Zhou royal family? You really make this story come true when you say that! ”
"Aside from the fact that Liu Bang is an orphan of the Zhou royal family, there is hardly any reason to explain why the Lu Guild would marry his daughter to an old rascal. Any other explanation is quite unreasonable. If you compare Taizu, you will know that Taizu is also self-made, and his talent is roughly better than Liu Bang, at least Taizu is quite good at both generals and generals. But this is such a Taizu, but the wife he married is just the adopted daughter of his top boss, is it too pitiful compared to Liu Bang, who looks like a toad eating swan meat on the surface? ”
Bai was most convinced by Hua Xue's statement, because as a mother, she felt that she could best understand Lu Gong's thoughts. She felt that if she was asked to marry Xiaobai to an old rascal, it would be better to kill her. But if the hooligan is just an outward manifestation, it is actually a royal orphan with quite a connotation, and she can't be too relieved to marry Xiaobai.
No one asked Lü Buwei why he didn't directly let go of the Zhou royal family, but secretly preserved the royal bloodline, and everyone knew that Lü Buwei did not have so much influence in the Qin military, and this kind of order would be rejected as a disorderly order, and even he himself would be implicated.
As for what is recorded in the history books, the so-called "Qin does not stop worshipping, giving Zhou Jun with Yang people, and worshipping him", Li Yu probably believed it back then. It's just the sorrow of "Poppy Beauty" and the hatred of "Crying in the Dark Night", Li Yu wrote it too clearly, and the talented women remember it too well. Zhao Kuangyin, who is known as Kuanren, is not credible in this regard, let alone the name of the tyrannical Qin that shocked the Qin Shi Huang through the ages? What Qin left behind for the Zhou royal family may be branches of branches, or even fake.
Hua Xue continued: "What makes Lü Buwei unusual is that he has three thousand disciples. During the Warring States Period, it was not uncommon to raise doormen. However, there were only five people who were able to attract 3,000 visitors, of which the quality was quite high: the Fourth Prince of the Warring States Period and Lü Buwei. The other four are all from the royal families of various countries, only Lü Buwei, although he is also from the Lu family of the Qi State, but Lü Qi has been destroyed for more than a hundred decades, how can there be so many talent reserves? ”
"You're not right, Chunshenjun Huang Xie is not from the Chu royal family."
Hua Xue said with a smug expression waiting for you to ask: "Huang Xie is just not on the surface." He is ten out of ten the illegitimate son of the king of Chu. ”
"Which book says it?"
"It's not an account, it's an inference. But this inference is 10% credible. ”
You have to believe it! How can there be a 10% inference?
"Huang Xie's background record is blank, and there is obviously something wrong with it. I was curious at the time, so I carefully studied Huang Xie's life, and then I found a big problem: Xiong Wan, the king of Chu Kaolie, is really good to Huang Xie and really trusts him, and from the bottom of my heart, I feel that Huang Xie should have a share of the country of Chu. Regarding Huang Xie's monopoly of power, he has never engaged in any checks and balances. ”
"No, isn't there a Li Yuan? Isn't it Li Yuan, who was cultivated by King Kaolie, to balance with Huang Xie? ”
"Quite the opposite. It was Huang Xie who cultivated trust in Li Yuan. Li Yuan was originally Huang Xie's protégé. ”
"Even if all that proves anything?"
These don't prove anything, the key is in the back: Xiong Wan has no children, Huang Xie dedicated his pregnant wife to Xiong Wan, and Xiong Wan accepted it without saying a word. Not only that, the whole Chu State knew that the child was Huang Xie's son, but no one questioned his ascension to the throne and reigned for ten years, except that the people of Chu knew that Huang Xie was actually Xiong Wan's brother, what other explanation was there? ”
When you think about it, it's true. If there is any other explanation for pure trust, it is clear that such a thing as a step-son inheriting the throne is done within the royal family and between brothers. Between Huang Xie and Xiong Wan, it was just that it was not easy to publicize Huang Xie's illegitimate child, so he replaced the baby with a pregnant woman, just to cover it up.
"Among the Lu family's disciples, the most famous is Li Si. Compared with the four sons of the Warring States Period, Lü Buwei's attitude towards Li Si is quite strange. ”
"What's weird?"
"The fourth prince treats talented doormen as guests, keeps them at home, and contributes to themselves. The only one who was recommended to the king was Li Yuan, who didn't seem to be talented, but was just a beautiful sister, and together with her sister, Huang Xie gave Xiong Wan as a dowry. But after Lü Buwei discovered Li Si's talent, he did not stay at home as a guest, but recommended it to King Qin. Isn't that strange? ”
"Lu Buwei is dedicated to the public?" After asking tentatively, Liu Ru also knew that this was impossible, and shook his head to listen to Hua Xue continue.
"There is only one explanation, Lü Buwei can't trust Li Si. Lü Buwei has a big secret among the doormen in his own house, and ordinary people can't find this kind of secret, so Lü Buwei is relieved of those people, but Li Si is too smart, Lü Buwei is afraid that he will find something, so he has to send him away quickly. ”
"Can't you kill your mouth?" Bian Min didn't suppress his curiosity.
"Someone like Li Si, when you know that he has discovered your secret, maybe he has already thought of how to protect himself from being killed by you. This kind of risk is really unnecessary. ”
"Are you saying that the core of Lü Buwei's disciples is the loyalty of the Zhou royal family, and the other idle ones are just to hide people's eyes?" Liu guessed.
"Exactly. The quality of Lu Buwei's doormen is not a rooster and a dog thief, and there are occasionally a few talents like the cunning rabbit three caves. If you look at "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", you will find that there are hundreds of schools of thought, and the doctrine of any one of them has a lot of attainments in it. However, in the practice of hands-on ability, Lu Buwei and these doormen are actually not very clever. Why? Because the Zhou royal family has been raising scholars for 800 years, because there is no real power, scholars are everywhere, but there are very few people who really have experience in governance. Those who have experience in governing also have names and surnames, and they are targeted by the Qin State and may not survive. On the contrary, these scholars, who delved into knowledge, did not have a good reputation, but they all preserved. "Lü's Spring and Autumn" is a collection of the essence of the 800 years of knowledge of the Zhou royal family, and it is not something that someone can compile by gathering some guests at will. ”
Bian Min didn't care about this: "Shouldn't Lu Buwei be hostile to the Qin State?" Why did you recommend a talent like Li Si to King Qin? Rivals? ”
This involves the overall strategy after Lü Buwei: Lü Buwei preserves and even strengthens the national strength of Qin in order to defeat Qi; On the one hand, cholera was carried out by the Qin royal family to avenge the revenge of the Zhou royal family. Speaking of which, it is time to talk about another person. Just imagine, if Chang Yu is also the blood of the Zhou royal family, if Chang Yu's son can usurp power successfully, will he also avenge the Zhou royal family? Even if she can't, Zhao Ji is also the wife of another person, although this method is not glamorous, how can you say it, it can also relieve the hatred a little, right? ”
