Zi Chu, the mystery of Qin Shihuang's biological father, was cuckolded by Lv Buwei.

Qin Shihuang, the first emperor in China to unify the Qin Dynasty. According to historical records, he has three names. Ying Zheng, the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, was born in the first month, so he was named Zheng. He was a political writer in ancient times, so he wrote politics, so he was named Ying Zheng after all. Zheng, there was a custom of taking the place of birth as the surname in the pre-Qin period. Qin Shihuang was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, in the first month of forty-eight years. Third, how could Qin Shihuang's surname be Lu? This involves the life experience of Qin Shihuang.

According to records, from 0755 to 79000 AD, Ying Zheng's father was taken hostage in Zhao, and Zhao's political speculators took advantage of Qin. For the first time, Lv Buwei lived with a Zhao Ji who can sing and dance. After learning that Xu Huixin was pregnant, he asked Xu Huixin to seduce the king of Qin. Shortly after Zi Chu fell in love with Zhao Ji, Lv Buwei dedicated Xu Huixin to Zi Chu. Xu Huixin gave birth to Ying Zheng at full term, so Zi Chu married Xu Huixin. Later, Zi Chu returned to China to inherit the throne and passed it on to Zizheng after his death. This statement was accepted by Ban Gu, so historical records? The Biography of Lv Buwei is called Zheng directly. Han Shu in Gaoyou, Eastern Han Dynasty. His preface is basically the same as Sima Qian's record: "Wei didn't take Handan Ji, but she had a body. When Chu saw her words, she gave her Ji, entered the Chu Institute, gave birth to a man named Zheng, and married Chu Lizhi." Sima Zhen and Lu Chunqiu in the Tang Dynasty explained this: "The first emperor, Lu Zhengzhe, was famous for ruling the world. Fortunately, he gave birth to a child. When he presented himself to King Xiang of Zhuang, he gave birth to a first emperor. Therefore, Lu Zhengzhe. "

There seems to be some truth in this statement. According to records, "Ji Zang became a son in his prime." The period is the first anniversary. In other words, a year after Zi Chu and Xu Huixin got married, Xu Huixin won. Ten months pregnant, once delivered, according to this calculation, Ying Zheng should be born by Zi Chu. From the Han Dynasty to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, I always believed in Qin Shihuang's illegitimate son, and there was no objection.

Is Qin Shihuang really an illegitimate child? This is an eternal mystery. Due to the age, the facts can't be verified. However, some people began to doubt the authenticity of Historical Records from the motive. Because Sima Qian was brutally castrated in order to eliminate disasters, in his works, cruel officials and tyrants of past dynasties were smeared with bad ink, so it is not excluded that Sima Qian exaggerated because of disgust when recording Qin Shihuang.

In the Ming Dynasty, people began to study historical records. Lv Buwei raised an objection. So he appointed Yin Shou as the son of the Warring States Brave. Sheng, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, also objected that Historical Records came from hearsay rather than textual research, and that Sima Qian had reservations about the account from text analysis. Wang Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty went further. In Historical Records, he put forward two reasons: First, Lv Buwei deliberately fabricated the story that he was the father of Qin Shihuang in order to make a fortune for himself; Second, after Qin destroyed the six countries, the nobles in the first six countries either lost their grain cities or their families were ruined. However, they had no choice but to retaliate against the Qin Dynasty. So in extreme resentment, they spread such remarks attacking Qin Shihuang's life experience: "Qin Shihuang is the illegitimate child of Lv Buwei. This is where the incense of the Qin imperial clan came from. Although the six countries are dead, the State of Qin is also dead. " . In addition, some people questioned the interpretation of "big device". Period, one year, the so-called "big period" refers to the delivery after the expiration of the twelve periods. According to human nature, women find themselves with bodies, usually after one or two months of pregnancy. Since I knew I had a body before I gave it to my wife, according to the law of fertility, how could I be born to her father's age twelve months after I went back? There are cases of delayed delivery during pregnancy, but the delayed delivery in Xu Huixin is too abnormal. Therefore, they think that there is something wrong with the statement in Historical Records.

Guo Moruo also suspected that he was the ancestor of the Qin Dynasty in the Postscript of A.D. He pointed out three doubts. First, only historical records? The Biography of Lv Buwei is not in the top ten critical books, and there is no other circumstantial evidence, which makes people suspicious. It is an important historical material for studying the Warring States period, and Qin is one of the important countries in the Warring States period. Why didn't Qin Xue mention that Lv Buwei cheated his grandson? Only recorded in the historical records of the Western Han Dynasty? Secondly, the story of Qin Shihuang, the story of Chun and Nu Wa, like a rigid printed matter, is a novel with great plot. The story of Shen Jun and Nu Wa is probably like this: There was a man named Li Yuan in Zhao who wanted to betroth his sister Nu Wa to the King of Chu, but he heard that the King of Chu could not have children, fearing that his sister would not be favored for a long time because she had no children. So he consulted with his sister and gave her to Chun Shen Jun first, and then to the King of Chu when she was pregnant. As expected, Chun Shenjun really got Li Yuan's sister pregnant with a child. At this point, when things came to a critical moment, Li Yuan's sister seduced Chun and said, "Today, I know I have a body, but no one else knows. Fortunately, I haven't been a concubine for a long time, and I am a concubine of the king of Chu, and Wang Bixing is a concubine. If my concubine is born in heaven and has a man, then the gentleman is king and Chu can seal the world. Which one is the crime of seeking trouble? " Shen Jun was persuaded, so he gave the ring to the King of Chu and gave birth to a son, later Chu Youwang. This story is very similar to that of Lv Buwei and Xu Huixin. Lao Guo concluded that the story of Lv Buwei and Xu Huixin was probably popular in the early Western Han Dynasty when Lv Hou was in power, and it was fabricated by members of the Lv Group to imitate the story of the goddess of spring and Nu Wa, in order to create public opinion for the system of saying things by Lu. Third, the National Policy records that Qin Shihuang's mother was Geji of Handan, but when she returned to Qin, she said that "Mrs. Zi Chu is the daughter of her family". Ge Ji and her good daughter are too far apart to justify themselves.

However, the historical position of Warring States Policy still makes many scholars refuse to easily doubt the authenticity of the events recorded in it. They think that the arguments of scholars and teacher Guo Moruo in Ming and Qing Dynasties are only speculations about historical facts, and the arguments are insufficient. Although there are contradictions in Sima Qian's narrative, his writing style has always been known for being rigorous and straightforward rather than curious, so his remarks about Lv Buwei and Xu Huixin can't be groundless. Some contemporary scholars have criticized Guo Moruo's three questions, which are as follows: First, many records in Historical Records, Historical Records? There is no record in Biography of Lv Buwei, which is one of the reasons why Historical Records has been praised through the ages. Without circumstantial evidence, the authenticity of historical records can still be maintained. For example, Sima Qian's Warring States Policy describes the lineage of Xia Dynasty in detail. However, Sima Qian was thousands of years away from the Shang Dynasty, and there was basically no empirical evidence in the future. So before the 20th century, many scholars, especially western scholars, doubted the existence of Xia Dynasty. However, the discovery of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins in the early 20th century proved the high accuracy of Sima Qian's records.

Secondly, He's story is similar to that of Chun and Nu Wa, which only shows that this struggle was used by many politicians at that time. Third, the records in Historical Records are not contradictory, but there are similarities. If Zichu really takes a fancy to Lv Buwei's concubine, it will undoubtedly provide Lv Buwei with an opportunity, because once Zi Chu returns to China to succeed to the throne, the child he and Geji are pregnant with may become the emperor. This idea is in line with Lv Buwei's ambition. Lv Buwei is a calm person. He is good at dealing with all kinds of relationships and knows how to use them. He can think that it attracts people to Geji, and he also thinks that the children in Geji's belly can have the hope of giving birth to the country. Therefore, he would try his best to conceal Geji's true identity and create a good family background for Geji, so Zhao Hao's daughter appeared as recorded in Historical Records. In addition, according to common sense analysis, as a prince at that time, Zi Chu always had some ostentation and extravagance when he got married.

In addition, both historical records and historical records recorded the affair with the Queen Mother after Qin proclaimed himself emperor. If Lv Buwei had nothing to do with the Queen Mother before, Lv Buwei would cherish his political life and not have an affair with the Queen Mother. Only when you have something to rely on or have an affair with the queen mother will you risk having an affair with the queen mother. Otherwise, it is hard to understand that a prime minister with a beautiful woman in his backyard risked his life to have an affair with the queen mother.

In a blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed, and the debate about Qin Shihuang's life experience is still unknown. However, no matter whether Xu Huixin is pregnant or married, and whether Ying Zheng really belongs to the royal family, these criticisms cannot conceal his important position and role in the history of China. Perhaps it is precisely because of Qin Shihuang's brilliant and complicated life experience that many TV dramas are "jokes".
