3. Odd goods can be lived
When Lü Buwei returned home, he saw his father and asked, "How many times is the benefit of plowing the land?" The father said, "Ten times." "How many times does Jewel win?" The father said, "A hundredfold." "How many times will you win by establishing the lord and determining the country?" The father said, "There are countless others." Buwei said: "Ploughing the fields and laboring, businessmen and laborers, their benefits are calculated." Now the Qin Emperor's grandson is a strange person with an elegant appearance, and this person will be very noble in the future. Seeing that he is now stuck here, he must not return to the country, and he is willing to bribe Zhao's courtiers with a thousand gold, and ask for help and return to the country in order to become rich, which is also infinitely profitable. The father said, "This matter is not easy. If it does, it can be a prince; If not, the way to break the family is also! Thou shalt consider it. Bu Wei said: "The appearance of a child is a hundred shots." It is expected that the alien will be expensive in the future, and the life of the child should also be developed. This is a very beneficial move, and the father does not need to worry. ”
So Lü Buwei decided to make a political gamble, and he went to lobby Yiren: "I can magnify your court." Yiren smiled and said, "You better magnify your own courtyard first, and then come to magnify my courtyard!" Lü Buwei said: "The king of Qin is old, An Guojun has become the crown prince, the king is determined, and the country is getting stronger. Although An Guojun loves Mrs. Huayang and has no children, if he can establish an heir, he will be the ear of Mrs. Huayang. An Guojun has more than 20 sons, you are a middle son, and you are bound in Zhao, the day is far and the day is sparse, if the king of Qin is sparse, he will set up An Guojun as the king, and the sons will fight for the prince in the front. Rich and noble others get it, you only have the old and dead Zhao country, how can you return to Qin? Yiren was said to be sad by Wei, so he wept and said: "Your words are really golden and jade, and your heartfelt words are also!" But what can be done for now? Bu Wei said: "You are so poor that you can't dedicate yourself to your relatives and make good guests." Although Wei is poor, please break the family as a daughter, travel west with you, and talk about An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang, Chen said that you are loyal and loved. It is expected that An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang will definitely make you their heirs. If you have to return to the Qin State, you will be the prince in the future. How does this work? Yiren Naidun thanked him and said: "My parents have not returned to the province for a long time, and they are depressed all day long, and life is better than death." You can donate money for me, and he will return to the country and see the day again, but when you get the land, the wealth will be with you. You can go quickly, and give you good news. I'm here to look forward to it. ”
Lü Buwei then gave 500 gold to Yiren for daily life and to make friends; took out 500 gold to buy rare playthings, and then led the two henchmen to leave Zhao for Xianyang. This place is fertile for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, there are eight rivers and three rivers, five passes and four stops, the scenery is rich, and the characters are handsome. At that time, the Six Kingdoms took Qinzhong as the first in the world. Now that King Zhao is on the throne, the army is strong and rich, and it is very prosperous.
Buwei went to Xianyang to enter the city and find a secluded shop to rest. Accompanied the servants to the market and secretly visited the relatives of Mrs. Huayang. Some people say that the lady has no relatives, but there is a sister and an aunt who lives in the opposite door of the prince's mansion, and there are more than 100 spare rooms on the street, which are dedicated to living in merchants and merchants, so it is called the imperial aunt's shop. Buwei used the excuse of looking for a house to privately entrust the emperor to convey the imperial aunt. The imperial aunt asked Buwei: "Where is the township?" Bu Wei said: "A certain Yang Zhai is also, surnamed Lu is not Wei, Jia Yu Zhaodi." Living opposite the emperor and grandson, the time comes and goes, and the hearts are trusted. The emperor and grandson often look up to the imperial aunt and Mrs. Huayang are compatriots and close relatives, and they dare to ask for a relay. There are fifty taels of gold outside, and the imperial aunt is the capital of tea and fruit. Then he offered the gold.
The imperial aunt was overjoyed and said: "Although the gift comes from the emperor's grandson, it is actually a hard work." Let's ask how the emperor and grandson live in Zhao? Let's find out. Buwei said: "A certain person lives opposite the Huangsun Mansion, meets all day long, has a very good friendship, and confides in everything." And the emperor and grandson are virtuous and filial, and their appearance is very good, and the world admires their demeanor. He often said: 'I regard the monarch's wife as the sky, and I think day and night, and I cannot return to the province. May you dedicate my letter to the wife of the monarch for her birthday, as you would see the face of my wife.'" Looking up to the imperial aunt to convey that the emperor's grandson is now in Zhao as a year, and he has come thousands of miles away to hope that the imperial aunt will rescue. If the day the emperor and grandson get the land, they will never forget the great virtue. The imperial aunt said: "You can rest in my shop, and I will lead you to see Mrs. tomorrow, and then think about it in the long run." He told the emperor's aunt again: "I heard that those who are sexually affected by lust are declining and love relaxation." Today, Mrs. Huayang is the prince, although she loves but has no children. If you don't raise the virtuous and filial among the sons as your heirs at this time, you are afraid that the prince will be the king in the future, and you will definitely make your son-in-law the prince, and then the lady's door will be born basil, and the people will be old and crippled, although they want to speak, and the prince will not listen. The current emperor's grandson is virtuous, virtuous, benevolent and filial, and admires his wife Riche; And when Mrs. is pampering Youwo, on the day of obedience, if she is willing to give a word to set up a stranger as a heir, then a stranger has no country but a country, and Mrs. has no children but has a son, and the world enjoys Qin Lu, and the imperial aunt has to always keep rich and noble. This so-called word is also for the benefit of eternity. The imperial aunt said: "The words of the foot are very good, I will convey this words to the lady, and save the stranger and return to the country." ”
The next day, the imperial aunt got up early and led Buwei into the palace to see Mrs. Huayang. The imperial aunt entered the house to see the lady first, and the ceremony was finished. The imperial aunt said: "Today, there is a prince and grandson who has always been in Zhao as a hostage, thinking about Mrs. day and night. Today, his henchman Lu Buwei has a book and Lilly, and he has a birthday with the monarch's wife, and now he is waiting outside the palace gate, and he does not dare to advance quickly. The lady said, "Since he is a person sent by the emperor and grandson, he has a book ceremony, and he comes in." "If you don't hear the order, you will bow down and enter the palace with your clothes full. At the end of the ceremony, the book is presented. When the lady opened the gift, it was four pearls and two jade hairpins, and she was very happy. Lü Buwei talked about the intelligence and ability of the Yiren, and the princes and guests he made friends with were all over the world, and often said, "I, Yiren, regard my wife as my own mother, crying day and night and missing the prince and my wife." Buwei then asked Mrs. Huayang's sister to persuade Mrs. Huayang to recognize Yiren as her adopted son.
In the middle of the conversation, the palace people reported: "The monarch returns to the palace." Madame hurriedly dressed to greet her. After the ceremony with the imperial aunt, he presented the stranger's grief and writing. When the monarch finished reading the gift, he opened the book and said:
The unscrupulous male stranger bathed and bowed for the first hundred years, the monarch's father An Guojun, and his mother His Royal Highness Qianqiu, Mrs. Huayang: The man was the supervisor of the army to attack Zhao, the division was defeated and captured, the enemy country was the enemy, and he would die. Fortunately, the envoy Niu Xichi wrote righteousness, eloquently divided, did not dishonor the king's life, Zhao Guo was afraid of submission, detained men as hostages, and used to block the soldiers. Zhao Sui thought that he had a plan, but how could a man survive? Thinking about returning home day and night, hesitating. Looking up to my parents, dreaming of it! Don't forget every step, one meal and three sighs. That is, the heart is entrusted to Lu Hong, and the pearl and jade are offered. This heart is like being on your knees. All grievances cannot be stated. Ten thousand beggars think of loneliness, give rescue early, if they survive, Haotian is extremely reckless. Brave the mercy, no matter how anxious it is.
The monarch read the letter and wept like rain. The lady then said: "The stranger is very virtuous among the sons, and all the visitors are praised by them." The concubine is fortunate to be in the harem, very loved, unfortunately pampered and childless, alone, hanging from each other, although the current joy, I am afraid it will be difficult to end forever. Now I hear the sage of the stranger, and I want to establish myself as a successor, but I don't know what the monarch promises? The lady fell prostrate on the ground, frowning and unable to swallow. The monarch held it with his hand and said: "Madame, save troubles, and the widow agrees." So he and his wife carved a jade talisman and set up a stranger as the heir, and An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang gave a generous gift to the stranger.
Lü Buwei left Qin and returned to Zhao, all the way in the twilight of autumn weather. How so?
Nanmo tourists are still the same, and the east fence yellow chrysanthemum is golden. The west wind is in front of the horse, and the songbird at the bottom of the sycamore leaves. Who is the flag pavilion calling for wine to pour on? Although the wildflowers are bright, they have no intention of going around the stream.
Arrive in Handan in a few days. After entering the city, he first went home to see his father Lu Weng, and informed his father of the section on meeting Qin An Guojun and establishing a successor, and Lu Weng was overjoyed.
When he returned to bed, he saw that his concubine Zhu Ji was tired and lazy, so he asked: "I have only been away from home for more than two months, do you have a personal relationship at home?" Ji said: "The concubine has been raised since she was a child, living in the boudoir, and she doesn't dare to turn out of the middle hall if she has nothing to do, how can she have any personal feelings?" The concubine was favored a month ago, and she was already pregnant, and she felt tired for days, and she didn't have him. Buwei was very happy when he heard this, bowed his head and thought to himself: "My family should be prosperous." Then he went to bed with Ji and said, "Do you want to be a rich woman?" Want to be a royal wife? Ji said: "Why did you say this? Bu Wei said: "Now the Qin King Sun Yiren is hostage in Zhao, I see that he has the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, the watch of the sky, and he will be very noble, I will break a thousand gold for him, and go to Qin to say that his mother Mrs. Huayang and his father An Guojun have carved jade talismans to form an alliance and become a son-in-law." The other day to save the Qin State, after a long time to be established as the king. I want to invite you to meet tomorrow with wine, so that you can meet before the feast. After you serve the wine, if the stranger has nostalgia, you also half-push and half-agree, and fornicate with him, but I feign anger, and you will mourn with the wave, and you will be promised to be a good couple. If he gives birth to a son one day, you will be the empress, and I will be rich and noble, and the world will be the Qin family. Thou hast acted extraordinarily since thou was a child, and thou hast been noble, but after thou hast done so, thou shalt never forget today. Ji said: "The concubine and the king have been in love for several years, and the love is like glue paint, how can you bear it quickly?" Bu Wei said: "I want to be rich and prosperous with you, not because you betray your virtues." The ancients said: 'Those who achieve great things do not act carefully.' 'Though you have succumbed for a while, it is really a plan for eternity, so why not do it?' Ji said: "Out of the king's mouth, the heart of the king, although the concubine obeys the order, the wish of the real monarch is also." "No, Wei is overjoyed, so the plan has been decided.
The next day, Lü Buwei went to bring the stranger in and have a feast. The wine was half-drunk before Zhao Ji made up and persuaded him to drink. The stranger didn't look at it, looking at the flower and the moon, he couldn't help but be dizzy, and he looked lost for a while, peeking at each other. That Zhao Ji also knew how to be funny, turned a pair of autumn waves, and contrasted with him, although Lu Buwei had already instructed him, but Zhao Ji was originally wild, of course he loved the boy. Inhumans are itchy and eager to move. It just so happened that Lu Buwei seemed to be drinking, so he pretended to sleep during the banquet, put his hands on the pillow, and snored slightly. The alien was as bold as the sky, so he went to pull the green sleeves and salivated and begged for mercy. Na Mei Ji was disgusted and happy, half pushed and half agreed, so she sat down with another person. Just as he was about to be fascinating, he was slapped on the seat, and then he said, "What are you doing?" I love my concubine like a flower, although it is not easy to have a daughter, you accept my kindness, and you are teasing? Inhuman hurriedly reviewed. Seeing that there was an angry face in front of Buwei standing up from the seat, he was suddenly frightened. Zhu Ji knelt down and said: "The adult broke the family and became the emperor's grandson in order to become rich, and now the concubine has caused the adult to be angry, both the adult's back and the emperor's grandson, the dilemma is not as good as death!" He drew his sword on the wall and tried to kill himself. Lu Buwei hurriedly hugged and whispered: "You note, let me say a word." You are now dyed by the emperor and grandson, and the emperor and grandson love and give up, and the two love each other seems to be difficult to stop. He sneered and said to Yiren, "I have been friends with you for many years, and I shouldn't be insulted like this, so that if you love me, you can also tell me directly, why be sneaky and do this trick?" When the alien heard this, he turned his surprise into joy, so he kowtowed to Buwei and said: "If you see the benefit, you are grateful, and if you get rich and noble in the future, you will vow to repay it." Bu Wei replied: "You have always made friends, so I will give this Ji to you, but there are two treaties, and you need to rely on me." The alien said: "There is nothing to follow except death." Buwei immediately said two major conditions: "One is that this Ji must be accepted as the main room, and the other is that this Ji has a son and should be established as an heir." Yiren was full of promises, so Buwei helped him up, and then asked Zhao Ji to sit on the side of the Yiren seat, and the three of them drank until the night was yellow, and then called into a light public opinion, so that Zhao Ji accompanied Yiren to get on the car and return to the inn together. At this time, Zhao Ji was pregnant. Beautiful like a flower, streamer like water, Yiren and Zhao Ji are planning day and night, about eight months later, a son was born, born with huge eyes, square forehead and long eyebrows, Lin on his back, born with teeth, and strange appearance. The emperor and grandson were very happy, named Zheng, and sent the surname Zhao. The other person only said that he gave birth to a boy in August, and he must have been born prematurely, but he didn't know that it was a dark fetus planted by the Lu family.
In the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin State sent the general Wang Qi to lead his division to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and King Zhao Xiaocheng wanted to kill Yiren to vent his anger. Yiren conspired with Lü Buwei to take out 600 catties of gold to bribe the officials who defended the city, and then escaped from Zhao and returned to Qin through the Qin army on the expedition.
After coming to Xianyang in a few days, Buwei said: "Mrs. Huayang is a Chu person, and the emperor and grandson are in Chu to see Mrs. According to his words, the stranger changed into Chu clothes to meet the monarch and his wife, and each was sad. Mrs. replied to An Guojun and said: "The concubine is a Chu person, and the emperor's grandson came to see him in Chu clothes, and the true son is also!" Change its name to Zi Chu. The monarch said, "Good! So Zi Chu knelt down and said: "The son was taken captive as a hostage, but fortunately, Lai Buwei accumulated a thousand gold, and took his beloved concubine and son as his wife, broke the family and tried his best to save and return to the country, and the grace of regeneration is rare in ancient and modern times." Fu Wang's re-addition of officials in return to his merits. The monarch summoned Wei to enter and Xie said: "My son is in Zhao, he does not avoid the axe under his feet, rescues and returns to Qin, and the merit of the world is honest for reconstruction." When the lord and his family arrived, they had been given thousands of acres of land and placed in a new house. Tomorrow, I will play my father, and I will be crowned an official and repay virtue. Buwei said: "I have been blessed with small merits, and I have been greatly gracious, how dare I look outside?" After saying goodbye, he returned to his house. Zi Chu, with the Zhu family and Zi Zheng, lived in the palace of Mrs. Huayang.
The next day, An Guojun Zao said: "The courtiers are different, Zhao was captured, and he was confined for a long time, thinking that he was a proton, and my king has always been unable to bear to increase his troops, and he has been a rat taboo." Today, Yang Zhai Dajia Lu Buwei rescued and returned to the country, which is also an immortal achievement. I know that my king should be crowned official. "King Zhao is overjoyed! That is, Xuan Buwei saw the court, and was named the prince and young master, and also the post of the East Palace Inheritance Bureau. Don't bow your head and give thanks. Since then, he has made his career in Qin. Precisely:
Turning home into a national machine like a sea,
The idea of planting seeds and seedlings is deeper.

Buwei is extremely extravagant, raising thousands of children, attracting thousands of diners from all over the world, gold and jade are like mountains, the first is even the clouds, and the treasures are innumerable. He also extended the world's famous people, and all the works that were heard and seen were collected and treatised, called "Lu's Spring and Autumn".
