The Original Biography of Lv Buwei in Historical Records
Volume 85 Lv Buwei Biography Question 25: Historical Records Author: Sima Qian
Lv Buwei, everybody, Yang Zhai. Dealers are cheap and expensive, and family members are tired.
Qin Zhao ruled for forty years, and the prince died. When he was forty-two, his second son, a Guo Jun, was a prince. A Guo Jun has more than twenty people. Ann likes Ji very much and thinks he is a suitable wife, nicknamed Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no children. Ann Guo Jun's male name is Zi Chu, and Zi Chu's mother is The Last Month Of Summer. No love. Zi Chu is the proton of Qin State in Zhao State. The Qin dynasty attacked Zhao, but Zhao was not very polite.
Chu, the son and grandson of the Qin Dynasty, was superior to the princes. They rode horses in and out without mercy. They are trapped and not proud. Jia Hanhan, seeing it, pitied it and said, "This strange commodity can live in." . But he went to see Zi Chu and said, "I can open the door for my eldest son." Zi Chu smiled and said, "It's the gate of the Great King, the gate of the Great Self!" Lv Buwei said, "I don't know, but my door is very big for my son." Zi Chu knows the so-called, but leads and sits, deep language. Lv Buwei said, "The king of Qin is old, and Guo Jun is a prince. I overheard a Guo Junren who loved Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang had no children, and being able to set a suitable heir was the only one who could listen to Mrs. Huayang. Now there are more than twenty brothers, and the son is in the middle. He was unlucky and became a vassal for a long time. In other words, if Tai Wei and An Li are kings, the sons will compete with the eldest son and other sons for the crown prince in the former. " Zi Chu said, "Of course. Why? " Lv Buwei said, "I am poor, so I am here because I have to dedicate myself to my relatives and friends. Although Wei is not poor, please take your daughter as your son to travel to the west and serve Mrs. An and Huayang, so that your son can become a suitable heir. " Zi Chu nodded and said, "It must be like a monarch's policy. Please rate Qin Guojun. "
Lv Buwei used five hundred gold and Zi Chu as gifts and made guests. After spending 500 gold to buy rare treasures, I went to visit Qin in the Western Heaven, asked for Mrs. Huayang's sister and gave them to Mrs. Huayang. Because of Chu Xianzhi's wise words, princes and guests are all over the world. As the saying goes, "Chu also regards his wife as heaven and cries for the prince and his wife day and night." Madame was overjoyed. No, Wei asked his sister to tell his wife, "I heard that people who care about colored people are lazy." Today, my wife is a prince and she loves her son very much. She doesn't think fleas are suitable for filial piety among philosophers at this time. Her husband respects her. After the husband is 100 years old, the son is king, and she will never lose power. This so-called interest is also eternal. If you don't base yourself on prosperity, that is to say something, can you get it? Now, the son Chu Xian knows that he is a man, but he is not suitable for the second time, and his mother is unlucky. He has been attached to his wife, who really thinks it is appropriate to leave at this time, and her wife is actually spoiled by Qin. "Mrs Huayang thinks so, too, and from the point of view of the prince, she calmly says that she is superior to Zhao, and everyone who comes and goes praises him. Because of tears, he said: "I am fortunate to be a harem, but unfortunately I have no children. I hope my son Li Chu will suit me. "Ann Guo Jun agreed, but he and his wife carved a jade symbol together and thought it was appropriate. Ann Guo Jun and his wife invited Lv Buwei to help them, because they were very kind to Chu, and Zi Chu had a better reputation than the princes.
Lv Buwei, take all the girls in Handan as an example. They dance very well and live very well, knowing that they have a figure. Never drink Wei. When he saw it, he talked about it and invited it as his birthday present. Lv Buwei was very angry and thought that he had broken his family to Zi Chu. He wanted to catch a strange fish, so he offered his concubine. Ji has been hiding from her body, and when she gets her period, she will have a baby. So he married Ji.
Wu Wang ten years, make wai han, anxious, zhao want to kill. Zi Chu and Lv Buwei conspired to give 600 Jin of gold to the guards. The officials removed the gold and died in Qin Jun, so he got it back. Zhao wanted to kill his wife, Chu, and his wife, Zhao's daughter, also went into hiding, so the mother and son actually lived. In the fifty-sixth year of Qin Zhao, Guo Jun was king, Mrs Huayang was queen and Zi Chu was prince. Zhao Yifeng returned to Qin with his wife and son.
One year, the king of Qin became the king of filial piety. Prince Zi Chu took the place of King Zhuang Xiang. Zhuangxiang Wang's mother Huayang is the Empress Dowager Huayang, and her real mother The Last Month Of Summer respects Empress Xia.
In the first year of King Zhuangxiang, Lv Buwei became the prime minister and was named Wen Xin Hou, eating 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan. King Zhuang Xiang ascended the throne for three years, the prince was made king, and Lv Buwei was honored as the prime minister, so-called "Guan Zhong". When the King of Qin was young, the Queen Mother always had an affair with Lv Buwei. No, there are ten thousand people in the Wei family.
Wei Xin, Chu Xin, Zhao Xin and Qi Xin. All the corporal like these guests. Lv Buwei was ashamed of Qiang Qin, but also attracted scholars and met them cordially, with 3,000 diners. At that time, the princes were all eloquent, such as Xun Qing's disciples, who wrote books and made statements that spread all over the world. Lv Buwei made the guests write about eight views, six views, twelve issues and more than 20,000 words. I thought I was preparing everything in the world, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, and my name was Lu Chunqiu. Cloth Xianyang city gate, hanging on it, who can add or subtract a word if the princes and tourists give money.
The first emperor was strong, but the queen mother was immoral. Lv Buwei was afraid that he would be hurt, so she privately asked Laoyi, a big Yin, to think about it, let her give up her family, and sometimes advocate music, let her walk with a bronze wheel of Yin official, let the queen mother smell it and spit it out. When the Queen Mother heard about it, she wanted to keep it for herself. Lv Buwei entered Laoai, and the swindler accused him of corruption. It was not Wei and Yin who said to the Queen Mother, "If you can cheat and corrupt it, you have to take it as an example." The empress dowager was a corrupt official and received a generous gift. She took the rumor and removed the beard of an official, so that she could serve the empress dowager. The queen mother is intimate and affectionate. With her body, the queen mother was afraid of being known and moved to the palace to live in harmony. Lao Ai often follows, which is very generous. Everything depends on ed. There are thousands of children in Lao Ai's family, and all the guests ask an official to give up more than 1000 people in Lao Ai's family.
In the seventh year of the first emperor, Wang Muxia of Zhuangxiang died. Emperor Xiaowen called Huayang Queen and buried Shouling with King Xiaowen. King Zhuang Xiang of the Empress Dowager Xia buried Zhiyang, so the Empress Dowager Xia did not bury Du Dong alone, saying, "Look at my son in the east and my husband in the west. In the next hundred years, there will be thousands of cities next to it. " In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, some people accused Lao Ai of being an unofficial official. They often have an affair with the empress dowager, and they have two children, both of whom have gone into hiding. Ask the queen mother that "the king is king and the son is queen." So the king of Qin went down to the bureaucracy, and he got a real feeling, even the prime minister Lv Buwei. In September, Lao Ai's three clans were killed, and the two sons born to the Queen Mother were moved to Yong. All the old Asherers have moved to Shu without their own homes. The king wants to punish the Prime Minister, because he was the first to serve the maharaja, and the debater was the lobbyist. The king could not bear to bring the law to justice.
In October of the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty, Lv Buwei was relieved of his post as prime minister. Mao Jiaojiao, a Qi man, said that the King of Qin welcomed the Empress Dowager, returned to Xianyang and left Henan.
At the end of the year, the princes and envoys confronted the guests on the road and asked Wen Xinhou. The king of Qin was afraid of the bad weather, so he sent a letter to Wen Xinhou, saying, "What did you do for Qin? Qin Yu eats 100,000 households. Why did you kiss Qin? Known as Guanzhong. He moved with his family! " Lv Buwei violated himself a little, fearing punishment, but died of drinking. Angered by the king of Qin, Lao Ai died, but they all went back to Lao Ai to shed people and moved to Shu.
In the 19th year of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager and was buried with King Zhuang Xiang. Taishi Gong said: It's not as good as old Ai Gui, whose name is Wen Xin Hou. I was told, but I heard. The king of Qin checked it and didn't send it out. The fear of disaster in the suburbs of Yong is a conspiracy with the party to correct the queen mother's seal and send a pawn to the palace against the New Year. The ministers attacked the barbarians, and the barbarians were defeated and left, chasing the good generals and destroying their ancestors. Lv Buwei lacks this ability. What about Confucius' so-called "smell"?

Lv Buwei is a big businessman in Yangzhai. He ran around, buying at low prices and selling at high prices, so he accumulated thousands of dollars of wealth. Forty years after the death of King Qin Zhao (267 BC), the prince died. In the 42nd year of Zhao Haoqi, he asked his second son, a Guo Jun and a prince. A Guo Jun has more than twenty sons. An Guojun has a very favorite concubine named Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no son. Ann Guo Jun has a middle-ranking son named Zi Chu, and Zi Chu's mother named The Last Month Of Summer, who is not favored. Zi Chu was sent to Zhao as a hostage of Qin. Qin attacked Zhao many times, and Zhao did not treat Chu with courtesy.
Zi Chu, the grandson of the Princess of Qin, was taken hostage in Zhao. He doesn't have rich chariots and horses and daily wealth, and he feels embarrassed and dissatisfied. Lv Buwei went to Handan to do business. When he met Zi Chu, he liked Handan very much. He said, "Zi Chu is like a strange commodity, which can be stored in a strange place. In order to sell at a high price. " So he went to visit Zi Chu and said to him, "I can expand your family." Zi Chu smiled and said, "You can form your own family first, and then mine!" Lv Buwei said, "You don't understand, my door will light up only when your door is lit up." Zi Chu knew what Lv Buwei meant, so he sat down and walked further with him. Lv Buwei said, "The king of Qin is old, and Guo Jun is a prince. I heard privately that Ann Guo Jun dotes on Mrs. Huayang very much. Mrs. Huayang has no son, and only Mrs. Huayang can choose a prince. Now you have more than twenty brothers, and you are in the middle. You are not loved by the king of Qin, and have been held hostage by the vassal States for a long time. Even if the king of Qin dies and Ann Guo Jun succeeds, you can't expect to compete with your eldest brother and other brothers who are around the king of Qin in the morning and evening. " Zi Chu said, "Yes, but what should we do?" Lv Buwei said, "You are poor and embarrassed, and you live here as a guest. You can't give anything to your parents or make friends. Although I am not rich now, I am willing to spend my daughter to lobby you to go west to the Qin State and serve Mrs. An and Huayang, so that they can make you a prince. " Zi Chu kowtowed and thanked him and said, "If your plan comes true, I am willing to share the land of Qin with you."
Lv Buwei then took out five hundred gold and gave Zi Chu the expenses for his daily life and making friends. He also took out 500 gold to buy exotic toys and took the west to the state of Qin to lobby. The first time he met Mrs. Huayang's sister, he dedicated everything he brought to Mrs. Huayang. By the way, when talking about Zi Chu's intelligence, he made friends with princes and guests all over the world, and often said, "I, Zi Chu, watched my wife all day and cried day and night, missing the prince and his wife." Madame is very happy. Lv Buwei took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Huayang's sister to persuade Mrs. Huayang to say, "I heard that once a beauty is used to serve others, her goodwill will decrease. Now, madam, you serve the prince. You are favored, but you have no son. If you don't neutral a talented and filial person among the sons of the prince earlier, let him be the heir and treat him like your own son, then your husband will be respected when he is alive, and his son will inherit the throne after his death, and he will not lose power in the end. This is what people say: eternal benefits can be obtained. If you don't set up a foundation when your appearance is beautiful, if you wait until your appearance is exhausted and your love is lost, is it possible to say a word to the prince? Now Zi Chu is virtuous. Knowing that she is in the middle, she can't be the heir in sequence, and her biological mother is not favored, so she will take the initiative to attach herself to her wife. If your wife can really promote him as an heir at this time, then your wife will be honored in Qin. " Mrs Huayang thinks so. At the convenience of the prince, she euphemistically talked about the talent of Zi Chu, who was taken hostage in Zhao State, and everyone who came and went praised him. Then he cried and said, "I am lucky to fill the harem, but unfortunately I don't have a son." I hope I can make Zichu my heir, so that I can have someone to rely on in the future. " Ann Guo Jun agreed, and his wife carved a jade symbol, and decided to let Zichu be the heir. Ann Guo Jun and Mrs Huayang sent many gifts to Zi Chu and asked Lv Buwei to be his teacher. Therefore, Zi Chu became more and more famous among the governors.
Lv Buwei chose a beautiful Handan woman who is good at dancing to live with and knew that she was pregnant. Zi Chu once had a drink with Lv Buwei. After seeing this woman, she liked it very much. She stood up, toasted Lv Buwei, and asked to give her to him. Lv Buwei was very angry, but on second thought, he had spent a lot of money on Zi Chu's property so that he could catch the strange goods, so he gave it to this woman. This woman concealed that she was pregnant. 12 months later, she gave birth to her son Zheng Ming. So Zi Chu married Ji as his wife.
In the 10th year of Qin Zhao Wu Wang (257 BC), Wang Kun was sent to besiege Handan. The situation is very urgent, Zhao wants to kill. Zi Chu conspired with Lv Buwei, took out 600 Jin of gold and gave it to the guarding city officials. They were able to escape, fled to Qin Jun camp and returned home smoothly. Zhao wants to kill his wife and son, and his wife is the daughter of Zhao's rich family, so she can hide, so the mother and son have to survive. In the fifty-sixth year of King Qin Zhao (25 BC1), he died. Prince Ann Guo Jun succeeded to the throne as king, Mrs Huayang as queen and Zi Chu as prince. Zhao also escorted his wife and son back to Qin.
The King of Qin died a year after he ascended the throne, and posthumous title was the filial king. Prince Chu succeeded to the throne, and he is King Zhuang Xiang. Queen Huayang, regarded by King Xiang Zhuang as her mother, is the Queen Huayang, and her biological mother is the Queen Xia. In the first year of King Zhuangxiang (249 BC), he appointed Lv Buwei as Prime Minister, named him Wenxinhou, and took 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan as food cities.
King Zhuang Xiang died three years after he ascended the throne, and Prince Zhao Zheng succeeded to the throne, honoring Lv Buwei as Prime Minister and calling him "Guan Zhong". The King of Qin is still young, and the Queen Mother often has an affair with Lv Buwei. The Lv Buwei family has 10,000 slaves.
At that time, Wei Youxin, Chu Youchun, Zhao Youyou and Qi Youyou. They were all polite and made friends. In this respect, we must strive for a high and low level. I think that Qin is so powerful that it is a shame to be inferior to them, so I also recruited a bachelor of arts and gave them generous treatment. There are as many as 3,000 diners. At that time, talented people from various vassal States came forth in large numbers, such as Xun Qing and his colleagues, who wrote books and made statements, which were popular all over the world. Lv Buwei ordered his diners to write down what they saw and heard, and summarized them into eight views, six theories and twelve dynasties, with a total of more than 200,000 words. I think it contains the facts of the universe through the ages, so it is called Lv Chunqiu. It will be announced in Xianyang city, with a reward of $1,000 hanging on it, inviting tourists from all over the world. Anyone who can add or delete a word will be rewarded with 1000 yuan. Qin Shihuang is getting bigger and bigger, but the queen mother has been promiscuous. Lv Buwei was afraid that things would come out, so he secretly found a man with a particularly big penis-Lao Ai (Luo m: i, brand abbreviation). As a public guest, he let the actors sing and dance for fun from time to time, and ordered Lao Ai to put his penis on a paulownia wheel to make it turn, and tried every means to let the queen mother know about it and use it to seduce her. When the queen mother heard about it, she really wanted to possess him in the dark. Lv Buwei offered Lao Ai, pretending to be condemned for committing the crime of imprisonment. Lv Buwei secretly said to the Queen Mother, "You can make Lao Ai pretend to be imprisoned, and you can get him among the people who work in the palace." The Queen Mother secretly handed many things to the officials who presided over the castration, pretending to punish Ai, pulling out his beard and pretending to be a eunuch, so as to serve the Queen Mother. The queen mother secretly committed adultery with him and loved him very much. Later, the Queen Mother became pregnant. I was afraid that others would know that I pretended to be unlucky and needed a change of environment to escape, so I moved to Yongdi Palace. Lao Ai always follows around and gets very rich rewards. Everything is up to Ed. There are thousands of slaves in Lao Ai's family. As many as 1000 people came to Laoai to seek official positions.
In the seventh year of Qin Shihuang (240 BC), the mother of King Xiang of Zhuang died. Empress Xiaowen was named Queen Huayang and buried with King Xiaowen in Shouling. The son of Empress Xia, King Zhuang Xiang, was buried in Zhiyang, so Empress Xia was buried alone in the east, saying, "You can see my son in the east and my husband in the west. A hundred years later, there will be a city of thousands of households next to it. "
In the ninth year of Qin Shihuang (238 BC), it was said that Lao Ai was actually not a eunuch. He often had an affair with the Queen Mother, and gave birth to two sons, both of whom went into hiding. He also consulted with the queen mother and said, "If the king of Qin dies, he will make this son succeed to the throne." Therefore, Qin Shihuang ordered the judge to investigate the matter and find out all the truth, which involved Premier Lv Buwei. In September this year, he killed all three members of Lao Ai's family, killed two sons born to the Queen Mother, and moved the Queen Mother to live in Yongdi. Laoai's diners were confiscated and moved to Shuzhong. The king of Qin wanted to kill Lv Buwei, the prime minister, but he could not bear to bring him to justice because of his meritorious service to the former king and many intercessors.
In October of the 10th year of Qin Shihuang, Lv Buwei was dismissed as prime minister. When Jiao persuaded the King of Qin, the King of Qin met the Queen Mother harmoniously and made her return to Xianyang, but he sent her out of the capital and went to a fief in Henan.
More than a year later, guests and envoys from various vassal states came to meet Lv Buwei in an endless stream. The king of Qin was afraid that he would launch a rebellion, so he wrote to Lv Buwei and said, "What contribution have you made to the State of Qin? Qin granted you 100,000 households in Henan. What is your blood relationship with the king of Qin? It is called Guanzhong. You and your family are moving to Shu! " When Lv Buwei thought that he had been persecuted gradually and was afraid of being killed in the future, he drank wine and committed suicide. Both Lao Ai, whom the King of Qin hated, died, so all the Lao Ai tourists who migrated to Sichuan returned to Beijing.
In the 19th year of Qin Shihuang (228 BC), the empress dowager died, and posthumous title was the empress dowager. Buried with King Xiang Zhuang in Zhiyang.
Taishi Gong said: Lv Buwei took the old Ai Guixian, and Lv Buwei made him Wen Xin Hou. Lao Ai was reported, and Lao Ai also heard about it. Qin Shihuang inquired about it, but he hasn't revealed it yet. When the king of Qin went to worship the Emperor Yong, Lao Ai was afraid of a catastrophe, so he conspired with his cronies, stole the seal of the Queen Mother, and launched soldiers to revolt in the seven-year palace. The king of Qin mobilized officers and men to attack Lao Ai, but Lao Ai failed to escape. When you get to a good place, cut him. He's cut. Lv Buwei was vilified for this. When Confucius said "smell", he meant people like Lv Buwei!
