Before crossing the Great Qin Empire, Zhang Jiashi did not know Zhao Ji's actual deeds, but he had also heard of an allusion, which happened to be Zhao Ji's strange goods as one of the protagonists. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Nature.2

Strange goods are a historical allusion.

There is a sentence recorded in the "Historical Records: The Biography of Lü Buweilie": "Lü Buwei Jia Handan, seeing (Zichu) and taking pity on him, said: 'This strange commodity can be lived. ’”

But this is not necessarily very closely related to Zhao Ji.

Because Zhao Ji knew Ying Yiren after Lü Buwei decided to fund Zichu:

Lü Buwei, a big businessman from Yangzhai, often appeared on the streets of Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Often come and go, buy, buy and sell. He has already made a lot of money on hand, and it can be said that his family has ten thousand gold.

On this day, Lü Buwei was walking on the street when suddenly a person came across the street and caught his attention. I saw that the man was like Fu powder, and his lips were painted with Zhu, although he was ordinary, he did not lose the spirit of a nobleman at all. Lü Buwei couldn't help but be secretly surprised. When the man had walked by, he asked a nearby peddler, "Who is the one who walked by?"

He is......

It turned out that it was a hostage left by Qin in Zhao State, named Yiren, who was the son of An Guojun, the son of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. An Guojun has more than 2o children, but all of them are not the main house, after Mrs. Huayang, they were all born to those concubines. Indifferent has a mother named Natsuji. Xia Ji was not favored and died early, so when the two countries exchanged hostages with the Qin Zhao Michi Alliance, the stranger came to Handan, the capital of Zhao. After the Yiren came to Handan, because the Qin State continued to attack the Zhao State, the King of Zhao became angry with him, detained him on the Congtai, and was guarded by the doctor Gongsun Qian day and night. He lived a boring and tasteless life without a car, a wife, food and alcohol, and was depressed and unhappy all day long......

After listening to the peddler's introduction, Lu Buwei pondered for a moment and then laughed heartily and said: Haha, he is really muttering. This strange commodity can be hoarded first, and then it can be made a big deal. Hahahaha!

Lü Buwei first befriended Gongsun Qian, who guarded the aliens, with a lot of money, and then became acquainted with the aliens. Once, he drank with Gongsun Qian and Yiren. When he was half drunk, taking the opportunity of Gongsun Qian to go to the toilet, Lü Buwei asked the stranger: King Qin is already old. Prince An Guojun loves Mrs. Huayang, but she has no son. There are more than 2o of your brothers, and none of them have been favored so far. Why don't you take this time to return to the Qin State, go to Mrs. Huayang, and ask to be her son. In this way, you may have the hope of establishing a reserve in the future!

Yiren replied with tears in his eyes: Why don't I hope that this can be done? Alas! I am in another country, and I hate that there is no way to get out! Lü Buwei said: This is easy to do. I can try to get you home!

The stranger said: If you can save me from returning to China, if you can get glory and wealth in the future, you and I will share it!

In order to get the stranger to return to China, Lü Buwei came to Xianyang, Kyoto, in the Qin State.

Soon, Lü Buwei found out that Mrs. Huayang had a sister who was also in Xianyang City. In order to meet Mrs. Huayang, Lü Buwei managed to meet Mrs. Huayang's sister first. After meeting, he first played with Zhao Guo's gold and jade treasure with him from time to time, and won her favor, and then he talked in detail about how virtuous Yiren was, how he missed his homeland, how he wanted to recognize Mrs. Huayang as his biological mother, and how he planned to be filial to Mrs. Huayang in the future. His words deeply moved Mrs. Huayang's sister.

A day later, Mrs. Huayang's sister went to see Mrs. Huayang. She restated what Lü Buwei had said to her. Mrs. Huayang was overjoyed, and immediately, she expressed her willingness to take strangers back to China and keep them by her side.

Speaking of Mrs. Huayang, this is only the first step. At that time, Qin Jun was still the king of Qin Zhaoxiang. If the alien can return to China, he must nod. However, because of the alliance between Michi, King Qin Zhaoxiang was teased by Lin Xiangru and hated Zhao Guo in his heart, so he didn't regard the return of the alien to China as a thing at all.

What should I do? Lü Buwei bothered again.

Later, he learned that the queen's younger brother, Yang Quanjun, was also in Xianyang. He wanted to persuade the queen through Yang Quanjun, and then persuade King Zhaoxiang through the queen. So, he bought a passage with a lot of money to meet Yang Quanjun. Lü Buwei said to Yang Quanjun: You are a high-ranking official and enjoy great wealth. But can you, a high-ranking official, a generous man, and a wealthy man last long? Naturally, there are queens and kings to protect you now. However, the king and queen are very old, once the landslide and the crown prince is the heir, will the prince continue to protect you? Why don't you try to extradite Wang Sun Yiren, who remained in Zhao today, back to China, and let him be the son of An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang? If you do that, An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang will be grateful to you. In that case, won't your high-ranking officials, wealthy and wealthy have someone to protect you? Lu Buwei's plan is exactly what Yang Quanjun wants. On the same day, he went to the queen and told Lü Buwei what he had said. The queen went to see King Zhaoxiang, and she said Yang Quanjun's words again.

Finally, King Qin Zhaoxiang expressed his willingness to take strangers back to China, and Lü Buwei packed his bags and went back to Handan.

Lü Buwei spent a lot of money and energy, and it seems that the time for the aliens to return to China is coming. But at this moment, Lu Buwei hesitated. He used his brain and thought non-stop. He thought: Yiren returns to China and succeeds to the throne in the future, and the biggest thing for him is to benefit from a Qin king. How can it last for a long time? In the future, how can Yiren landslide or abdicate, how can it benefit from the next generation of Qin kings?

......

At this time, Zhao Ji appeared and became another strange investment for Lu Buwei.

It is said that Lü Buwei selected a beautiful woman from the handan princesses, she is smart and charming, this is Zhao Ji. Lü Buwei told her that she would be able to become a princess like this, and Zhao Ji readily agreed. Lü Buwei dedicated her to a stranger, and later, Zhao Ji gave birth to a baby boy named Zheng, that is, Yingzheng.

Under the influence of Mrs. Huayang, Yiren returned to Qin with Zhao Ji and was made the prince. King Zhaoxiang soon died of illness, and the heir of Anguojun, that is, King Qin Xiaowen, became the prince as a matter of course, but he was still one step away from the throne, and Lü Buwei couldn't wait, he discussed with Zhao Ji and charmed King Qin Xiaowen with wine, King Qin Xiaowen lived a life of spending all day long, and soon died because of excessive greed!

Yiren finally ascended to the throne, that is, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang. Mrs. Huayang is the queen mother, Yingzheng is the crown prince, Lü Buwei is the prime minister, Feng Wenxin is the marquis, and there are 100,000 households. As the national strength of the Qin State became stronger and stronger, Lü Buwei's achievements were high, and Yiren knew that he was shrewd and abnormal, and gradually became vigilant against him.

And Lü Buwei also noticed something, how could he be restrained and killed? So he secretly discussed with Zhao Ji to get rid of the stranger, establish Yingzheng as the king, and let Zhao Ji become the queen mother. So Zhao Ji offered his favor night and night, and did everything he could to make strangers greedy and addicted, and soon he was weakened, and he returned to the West at the age of 36.

King Zhuang Xiang died, and Yingzheng ascended to the throne of the monarch at the age of thirteen.

Zhao Ji is the queen mother, respects Lü Buwei as the middle father, and entrusts him with all state affairs. Although Ying Zheng is young, he has the ambition and fighting spirit to rule the world, he knows that Lü Buwei is his biggest obstacle, and Lü Buwei also knows that Ying Zheng is not an idle person, and the two are secretly competing.

But the disaster finally came to Zhao Ji, she was young and widowed, unwilling to be lonely, and had an old relationship with Lü Buwei, so the two came and went in secret, and Lü Buwei often went in and out of the palace at will. But he was also afraid that Ying Zheng would know about it, and someone like Zhao Ji would have an accident sooner or later if he didn't know the inspection, and he couldn't help but restrain himself.

Later, Lü Buwei found a person named Chang Yu, who couldn't do anything else, but had abnormal abilities in the matter of the house.

According to Lü Buwei's biography, it was possible to turn the paulownia wheel with **, and Lü Buwei introduced Chang Yu to Zhao Ji, the mother of Qin King Yingzheng, so that he had an affair with Zhao Ji, and Lü Buwei also forged the proof that Chang Yu had been castrated. After that, Chang Yu entered the harem as a eunuch, and had sexual pleasure with the Queen Mother, and finally the Queen Mother Qin became pregnant.

In the wild history, it is recorded that the Empress Dowager Qin is not inferior to Wu Zetian, and once made her concubine travel together for 5 days when the two stayed in the carriage and did not think about eating and drinking without leaving home to enjoy the pleasure of **, the Empress Dowager Qin's lingering voice lasted for 5 days, and even the soldiers of her entourage could not hold back and sighed: "The color of women, the things of tigers and wolves are very difficult to fill; ”

When the Empress Dowager Qin came out of the carriage, her face was radiant and she seemed to be rejuvenated, while Chang Yu, who was beside her, had a haggard face and a thin and pale figure, which couldn't help but surprise the soldiers.

The queen mother was afraid that she would be widowed and pregnant, so she pretended to occupy a hexagram, and it was advisable to move to the palace to avoid disasters. Empress Dowager Qin obtained the consent of Ying Zheng and moved to Yongxian County with the fake eunuch Chang Yu, and had two sons in the Yongxian Palace, and Chang Yu also called himself the "false father" of King Qin. Chang Yu served the Empress Dowager Qin all day long, and the rewards were unusually rich, and everything in Yongcheng was decided by Chang Yu. There are thousands of servants waiting for Chang Yu, and there are more than 1,000 guests who go to Chang Yu to seek official positions. Chang Yu was named the Marquis of Changxin. Shanyang is its residence, and Hexi and Taiyuan counties are its fields.

In the ninth year of the first emperor, someone told Chang Yu that he was a fake eunuch, had an affair with the queen mother, had two sons, and conspired with the queen mother: "The king is the queen, and the son is the queen." ”

Ying Zheng was twenty-two years old at the time, and when he heard the news, he was furious, and immediately sent someone to investigate. After Chang Yu was named the Marquis of Changxin, he got Taiyuan County in Hexi as the country. He indulged in the palace, carriages, horses, clothes, and gardens, and lived a prosperous princely life, how could he suddenly lose it?

So, Chang Yu took the preemptive position, taking advantage of the beautiful April of the wind and sunshine, Yingzheng stayed in Yongcheng Qinian Palace to perform a crown ceremony, steal the imperial seal of the King of Qin and the queen mother's seal, and transfer the county guards, official guards and officials to attack the Qinian Palace. Ying Zheng ordered Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun to lead the Xianyang soldiers to quell the rebellion, and the two armies fought in Xianyang. The king of Qin ordered: "All those who have military merits will be rewarded by the lord, and those who participate in the war will also be rewarded by the knight." Hundreds of rebels were killed, Chang Yu's army was defeated, and he fled with his dead friends.

The king of Qin issued an edict to the whole country: "Those who capture the concubine alive will be given one million, and those who kill the concubine will be given five hundred thousand yuan." "Chang Yu and his dead friends were wiped out, and King Yingzheng of Qin split Chang Yu and exterminated his three clans. Twenty of Chang Yu's sworn party guards, including Wei Quan, Nei Shi Shi, Zuo Ge Quan, and Zhong Dafu Ling Qi, followed Chang Yu's guests, and those who committed minor crimes were those who served in the temple - ghost salaries; and more than 4,000 people who committed serious crimes were relocated to Shu and relocated to Shu for three years. The two sons of the Queen Mother and Chang Yu were all culled together.

The Queen Mother expelled from Xianyang, moved to Gongyang Palace outside the city, severed the mother-son relationship, never saw each other again, and explicitly ordered the courtiers to dare to advise the Queen Mother, "kill and kill, and tribulus terrestris on her back". As a result, twenty-seven ministers were brutally executed and their bodies hung on the palace walls.

......

And there is a theory that Zhao Ji was actually killed at this time, and Zhao Ji, who died three or four years later, was just a stand-in that the First Emperor found from the palace maids.

And Lü Buwei was also implicated in this incident:

The king of Qin wanted to kill Lü Buwei of Xiangguo, but because he had a great merit in serving the former king, and there were many guest debaters who interceded for him, the king of Qin could not bear to punish Lü Buwei.

In October 237 BC, Lü Buwei was dismissed from his post as prime minister. It was not until Mao Jiao, a Qi person, persuaded the king of Qin, that the king of Qin went to Yongdi to meet the Empress Dowager Zhao and make her return to Xianyang, but sent Lü Buwei out of the capital and to the fiefdom of Henan.

After another year or so, there was an endless stream of guests and envoys from various vassal states who came to greet Lü Buwei.

The king of Qin was afraid that he would rebel, so he wrote to Lü Buwei and said: "What credit do you have to the Qin State? The Qin State has sealed you in Henan and eats 100,000 households. What is your blood relationship with King Qin? You and your family have all moved to Shu to live!"

Lü Buwei thought that he had been gradually persecuted, and was afraid that he would be killed in the future, so he committed suicide by drinking dove wine. Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, whom the King of Qin hated, had died, so he let the Chang Yu men who had migrated to Shu return to the capital.

......

According to Zhang Jiashi's understanding, it was impossible for the First Emperor at that time not to know the matter between Zhao Ji and Chang Yu, because even in terms of power, he was still subject to Lü Buwei, but with the support of the generals Wang Qian, Meng Wu and others, and the Wenchen, there was also the support of the Changping Jun brothers, so it can be said that the First Emperor at that time already had the foundation to compete with Lü Buwei's forces.

But why did the First Emperor choose an opportunity to give Chang Yu a difficulty, Zhang Jiashi thought that this was the first emperor's belief that if Chang Yu was punished without teaching, then the investment of the talented people of the six countries of the Kwantung region would undoubtedly have a great negative impact.

Even within the Qin state, some forces loyal to the Qin royal family would have a lot of criticism about the first emperor at that time.

And with the help of Wang Qian, Chang Wenjun and others, the First Emperor has actually received the support of the Qin army, plus the First Emperor was holding the tiger talisman at that time, it is not difficult to mobilize the elite of the Qin army in the Lantian camp.

Under such a circumstance, the First Emperor went to Yongdu without any scruples, and strategized in the Dazheng Palace, successfully defeated the rebellion of the Chang Yu group, and eradicated Chang Yu in one fell swoop, Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei were several leaders of forces who could threaten the rule of the First Emperor, and finally completely took charge of the Qin Dynasty and took the most important step towards the Qin State sweeping.

But I am afraid that what the Chang Wenjun brothers did not expect is that in the future, they will actually choose between the motherland and loyalty with the king they once served and the country they served for them in the future.
