I think the reason why Lu Buwei is called a strange man is probably because of the following reasons. There is no conclusion on how many concubines he has. Specifically:
1. A rare place to live, excellent politics. Home
As we all know, Lu Buwei’s exclusive idiom is that rare things can be lived in, so we all know that Lu Buwei is an expert in venture capital, a planner who can operate systematically and turn a down-and-out prince into a powerful Qin Jun. At the same time, Lu Buwei also fully obtained the power to be the king. And among these, looking at the history of the country, it seems that there are not many wealthy businessmen with such opportunities and abilities. Therefore, he is said to be a national-level politician who has successfully transformed. It's really not too much.
At the same time, during his administration, he made concrete contributions to the development of Qin in many aspects such as maintaining stability, opening up borders, and building construction. The "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" edited under his leadership is one of the few ancient books with distinctive personal characteristics that people can read today. And in terms of horizontal comparison, there were not many politicians in the world at that time who had Lu Buwei's experience! So in summary, Lu Buwei is not an expert, what is he?
2. The number of concubines cannot be determined
Lü Buwei’s personal life, because of its distant history, there are very few records about his concubines. few. It would be great to know that a powerful prime minister like Lu Buwei could be written into official history with a positive image, not to mention the concubines who had no status in the feudal era and still carried the label of Lu Buwei. How can it be recorded in history. You must know that there are no records of Qin Shihuang’s wives!
But we can try to guess, that is, although Lu Buwei had many concubines, the records are vague. But what is certain is that he must have a certain number of concubines. You must know that Qin Wangzheng's mother was once a personal and versatile singer that he raised! As a powerful minister, how could he not have concubines by his side? You must know that political marriage, the king's wooing, and his own desires, etc., will not make Lu Buwei's favorite concubines less.
What's more, it is said that there are books recording that Lu Buwei has more than two sons, which means that Lu Buwei has at least one wife, and he may not have any, or he may have more than one concubine!
