Don’t beat around the bush and tell the answer directly. Qin Shihuang’s mother, Zhao Ji, was both talented and beautiful. She was born into a wealthy family, had a dissolute nature, and was widowed at a young age. When Qin Shihuang was young, she had an affair with Lu Buwei for many years. Later, Lu Buwei retreated bravely and found her. With Lao Ai as his companion, Lao Ai was obsessed with power and wanted to launch a coup, but was thwarted by the royal thunder. As for the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, the King of Qin was very angry. He wanted to sever the relationship between mother and son, but fortunately there were ministers Focusing on the great cause of unifying the world, he dissuaded him in time and was able to enjoy his old age.

Memoirs of Qin Shihuang’s mother Zhao Ji
(There are processed elements, please discuss rationally)
From a person who was regarded as How far is the distance between a humble woman who trades goods and a queen mother who dominates the world in a powerful empire?
I may be able to give you an answer in this life.
01 The time when I was a concubine at Lu Buwei’s house
Back then, Lu Buwei, this damn ghost, told me every night that he was acquiring a set of wealth that was unique in the world. If this deal was completed, , it will be difficult for anyone in future generations to surpass him. At that time, I was skeptical and had no doubts about his ability to make money. It is really unimaginable how much energy is needed to do a big deal that is unprecedented and unprecedented.

I heard him say a few days ago that he had befriended a young master of the Qin State. The man was in extremely miserable condition. He used the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed. We had Pearl Jade White Jade Soup (don't we just order dough and vegetable leaves). Even so, he just had one meal without finishing. I really don’t see anything noble about him. The only thing worth mentioning is that he has the blood of Qin’s royal family, but he is also a marginal member of the royal family. Otherwise, how could Qin do this? Send him to Zhao to die?

More than half a month has passed since that night when he said that he would go to Qin State to do business tomorrow. His departure made people feel panicked and they could only wait for it sooner. When he comes back, whether he brings a gift or not is less important. The key is to test whether his temper has subsided.
Finally, a month later, he came back. He was in a hurry and spoke with high spirits. It is estimated that the big business he mentioned has made promising progress. The sun is setting in the west, and the lanterns in Lu's house have just begun to light up. The aroma of various dishes has been lingering in the front yard and backyard for a long time. The girls who usually serve are all busy. The jars of wine brought in from the backyard at noon have been built in the warehouse. When we got to the hill, I only remembered what Buwei told me in the morning. When he gave me a high-five, I dressed up and danced to cheer him up.
02 The turning point of fate
During the dinner, Buwei only talked to a young man, but that young man’s eyes were always on me. Appreciation is a blessing, but in the current situation, it seems that I have become a commodity for exchange (my father married me to Buwei in order to do big business). Sure enough, the young master said: "Lu Qing, I really like the dancing girl Shen Yuluoyan. Why don't you give her to me?" Buwei stayed on the spot, not knowing that he was confused by the sudden and excessive request. Still have other thoughts. Within a short time, I had changed ownership, and that night, I became the concubine of the Young Master of the State of Qin.
After October, my first child was born. According to the child’s father, this child will be a talented person who will inherit the great achievements of the future.
At that time (259 BC), the Changping War between Qin and Zhao had just ended. It was heard that Zhao had lost hundreds of thousands of troops in Changping, and the whole country was furious. The country's protons are in dire straits. After two years of life being worse than death, Qin came to attack Handan again. Our family was facing a disaster and the situation was extremely urgent. At the critical moment, Buwei spent a lot of money to rescue the child's father and return to Qin.
It’s a pity that we, the two of us, have to avoid living in my parents’ house. The married girl has thrown away the water. Even if they gave us life, now they are like a homeless dog living under someone else’s roof. If he wasn't worried about the child in front of him, he might have died long ago.
Everything is for the sake of the child. The six years in Zhao Guoguan were longer than a lifetime. I heard that the child’s great-grandfather, King Qin Zhaoxiang, passed away, King An succeeded to the throne, and the child’s father was established as the prince. I seemed to see it again. A glimmer of hope. This year, my son Ying Zheng is 13 years old. An endless string of convoys and soldiers winding from Handan of Zhao State to Qin State. Who would have thought that the mother and son sitting in the luxurious chariot at this moment were still eating simple meals the night before? Things happened so fast, everything was different in an instant. Who could have imagined that this woman who was being praised into the clouds by thousands of people at this moment was just a dancer in the house of a speculator in Zhao State a few years ago. Time is also fate, and in this life with an uncertain future, how many unknowns are still waiting for me.
03 Three Days from Crown Princess to Queen
I never expected that my child’s grandfather would leave in Hexi after only three days of reigning, while I only spent three days. She suddenly transformed from a crown princess to a queen. It seemed that sadness was not popular in the royal family. Three days later, all the ministers bowed their heads and expressed their joy and congratulations, and thousands of people admired her. A woman who had been traded for benefits by her father looked far away from the window of the Hua Palace. Her fate was changing and things were unpredictable. Her thoughts were racing and she was filled with emotions for a while.
My husband, Ying Yiren, has passed away after only three years in office. My miserable life has been full of misery and sentimentality. A young woman in her prime years became a queen mother in the blink of an eye.
Lü Buwei is indeed shrewd. His investment many years ago was indeed shocking. An unknown businessman came to the rescue when the royal family was in trouble. Today, he is made Prime Minister and lives in Luoyang. With 100,000 households, the return on this business is more than tens of millions of times.
04 The dissolute empress dowager
Since God is not kind to her, what is the use of my loving temperament? It is better to be dissolute and live a happy life. Lu Buwei is the father-in-law of my child. Let’s meet There are naturally many opportunities. I am the Queen Mother, and he is a minister. He does not care about many worldly constraints and indulges himself day by day.
My son is getting older and may have heard some rumors. Bu Wei has been visiting less recently, which makes the palace feel lonely. What should I do? When I have an unhappy day and feel depressed all over, I think about it like looking at the clouds during a drought or looking at the rain with dry seedlings, which makes people anxious to wait.
Finally the wait came, and he brought me Lao Ai, who played and sang every night, and had endless fun. It was so wonderful...
Later, Lao Ai borrowed the queen's privileges and obtained the title. Countless profits, being granted the title of Marquis of Honesty, being poor and suddenly getting rich, it is easy to forget one's past. One time, he drank and had fun with the ministers, lost the game, and yelled at others: "Do you know who I am? I am the stepfather of King Yingzheng of Qin. In the future, If he dies, the world belongs to the child born to me and the Queen Mother."
This matter soon reached Ying Zheng's ears, and King Qin was furious: "How dare you create such an ant-like insect for our royal family. Sexy news, how dare you speak so brazenly, and have the intention of usurpation, I want to see how many heads he has to chop off!"
05 The tragic upstart in power
238 B.C. In that year, Ying Zheng went to Yongcheng to hold a crowning ceremony. Lao Ai ordered the Queen Mother to steal the military talisman and send troops to attack Qinian Palace with the intention of rebelling. How can you, a man who rose to power with a woman, defeat the tiger and wolf divisions of the Qin Empire? The rebellion was quickly put down, and Lao Ai was torn apart by a chariot and died. All the disciples who followed him in the uprising, who shouted happily and could fight vigorously, were released to do hard work for three years.
As a queen mother who was addicted to male sex and brought shame to the royal family, Ying Zheng told the world that she would sever the relationship between mother and child. Ministers who dared to come to plead for her would not get any good results and would be beheaded. , but the ministers who were still stubborn continued to visit him, and Ying Zheng killed 27 of them in a row. The scene was extremely cruel. The twenty-eighth person who came to the audience had just a little bit of brains. He took the great cause of unifying the world as his guide and followed the temptations. Finally, the King of Qin relented and allowed the Queen Mother, who had brought shame to the royal family, to return to Xianyang to retire.
As for Lu Buwei, although he helped the late emperor with merit, it could not stop the king from wanting to kill you. In the end, the King of Qin only gave him 30 words (the causes and consequences of Lu Buwei’s birth and his death). After accepting the king's order, he drank poison and died.
As the mother of Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji was born in troubled times. As a commodity that can be exchanged at will, she wanders between rights and is born to be sad. She was unfortunate but lucky in her life. She came from a commoner, but she became a queen mother; she became a widow, but she secretly enjoyed herself, which made her happy and humiliated the imperial power.
