In the last issue, we said that the king of Qin was deceived by tired Qin's plan, but unexpectedly sheltered him, making Qin more powerful. But how could the king of Qin listen to a Korean of unknown origin? And how can South Korea's Qin-exhausted strategy be seen through?
This involves the court struggle within the state of Qin, which is a secret not mentioned in the history books. Who is the queen of Qin Shihuang? Then we have to start with the Qin royal family. At that time, there were three queens in the state of Qin, and the most powerful one was Mrs. Huayang, a native of Chu. Another Empress Xia is Ying Zheng's grandmother, a Korean, and the third is Ying Zheng's mother. Yes, she is from Zhao, so the consorts of Qin are Chu, Han and Zhao. In 24 1 year BC, Ying Zheng's half-brother went to North Korea at the height of 15 years old, and then he got the land of Korea by himself. Aren't you a fifteen-year-old middle school student? This matter is an incredible diplomatic achievement now and in the past. In fact, it was the consort of the Korean family, Mrs. Han, the mother of the Korean family, and Empress Xia, the grandmother of Ying Zheng, who lobbied South Korea to gain some benefits now. In the future, when we become big players, we will be happy.
Five years ago, Zheng Guo, a Korean, lobbied the King of Qin to start building the Zheng Guoqu, which was the beginning of the "Weak Qin" plan. This also shows that with the cooperation of Korean consorts, a hopeless ordinary person can meet the King of Qin, who not only believed, but also dug this big project with the power of dumping the country. However, after Xia's death, he also defected from Qin to Zhao, and the influence of Korean consorts in Qin disappeared. Look at Zhao zai's consorts. In 238 BC, Lao Ai, her lover, was killed and committed suicide by taking poison, which meant that Zhao's consorts in Qin were eliminated. And 12 years ago, that is, in 260 BC, Qin slaughtered 400,000 people in the battle of Changping, so even if Zhao's consorts group saw through South Korea's plan of "being tired of Qin", it was logically impossible to reveal the secret.
Finally, there are Chu's consorts. Our last article by Zheng Guoqu laid the groundwork. Historical Records says nothing about Qin Chu's relations. Up to now, we don't know who the empress of Qin Shihuang was. Did someone deliberately hide this history?
During the Northern Song Dynasty, several stone tablets were unearthed in Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province, and Su Dongpo, a local official, felt deeply after reading the inscriptions. Qin Chu was originally a soft-blooded, married for more than a hundred years. In 3 12 BC, Chu and Qi attacked Qin. The angry king Qin Huiwen wrote an article cursing the natural death of the king of Chu. Su Dongpo named these stone tablets "Curse Chu Wen", which can piece together Qin Chu's long-standing marriage relationship.
The protagonist in the TV series "The Legend of Mi Yue" is Mi Yue Mibaz, the Xuan queen of Qin State, a native of Chu State. When Chu attacked South Korea, the South Korean emissary asked Qin for help, saying, "When I was serving the King of Qin, he put his thigh on me, and I felt unable to support it, but he put his whole body on me, and I felt very comfortable. Similarly, you want Qin to save South Korea. If there is not enough food and grass, it is a drop in the bucket, but if there are heavy troops, then my cost is too high. "
Mi Yue spoke with a yellow accent and refused to send troops to help South Korea. After all, Chu is her motherland. Then there was another great man in Chu, that is, Mrs. Huayang. Ying Zheng became the king of Qin because his father, Qin Zhuang, was a hostage of Zhao. In order to return to the state of Qin, he worshipped the childless Mrs. Huayang as his mother. Unfortunately, her husband and adopted son passed away one after another, and Ying Zheng, the eldest grandson who was brought up with one hand, became an important trump card for Mrs. Huayang, and Mrs. Huayang was also upgraded to Queen Mother Huayang in the future.
She was actually the supreme ruler of Qin State before Ying Zheng came to power, and controlled the state affairs of Qin State for 17 years. Another key figure is Chang Pingjun. Chang Pingjun was born to Xiong Yuan, the king of Chu and the princess of Qin. Xiong Yuan used to be a hostage in the State of Qin, but later abandoned his wife and children and fled back to Chu to inherit the throne of Chu. Later people called him King Gao Lie of Chu. Chang Pingjun was adopted by Mrs. Huayang of the Qin Dynasty at an early age, and he was 12 years older than Ying Zheng, who was also adopted. They are naturally childhood playmates in the court of Qin State. After the Lao Ai Rebellion, Chang Pingjun replaced Lv Buwei as the right prime minister and took power for a period of time.
When Qin launched the war to destroy Chu, Chang Pingjun was a Chu after all. He returned to Chu to fight against the Qin banner, and General Xiang Yan named him King of Chu. In the last battle of Wang Jian's destruction of Chu, Chang Pingjun died in Xiang Yan and committed suicide. In this way, we use historical data to analyze the infighting in the court of Qin State, and we have a clear outline. Zhao's consorts were wiped out after Lao Ai's demise, and South Korea's consorts disappeared after Xia's death and after betraying Qin. So only the consorts of Chu are left in the state of Qin. Before Qin destroyed Chu, South Korea and Zhao joined hands to form a United front to prevent Qin from expanding eastward. Even if Zhao knows that Zheng is a spy, it is unlikely to reveal it. In order to reduce the pressure on the motherland, the consorts of Chu attacked the other two factions, thus exposing Zheng as a spy and "disgusted with Qin." Therefore, the plan of the Han-Zhao alliance was destroyed by the Chu people.
As for the queen of Qin Shihuang, who is it? From this logic, we can also analyze that the powerful consorts of Chu dominated the political marriage of Ying Zheng, the king of Qin. Empress Huayang may have arranged for a princess who is also the imperial clan of Chu to be the grandson's daughter-in-law, become the queen of Qin Shihuang, and be the biological mother of Fuxi, the eldest son of the emperor. China's first queen, a woman from Chu State, was not buried in history. It is possible that Qin Shihuang did it on purpose.
The year Queen Huayang died, South Korea was just destroyed by the State of Qin, and then Zhao and Wei also suffered. At this time, Chu did not send troops to help these three countries as before. Like Mi Yue, there is a huge political marriage between Qin Chu. Chu's wishful thinking is probably that the two companies share the world equally, while Qin's idea is that one is dominant. Therefore, it can be reasonably speculated that after the death of Mrs. Huayang, the status of Chu consorts group declined, including Chang Pingjun and the first queen in the group. Later, when Chang Ping rebelled against Qin, Chu consorts were implicated and collapsed. Naturally, the records of Chu consorts were completely erased by the angry Qin Shihuang.
The powerful consorts of Chu are all in Qin, and they have been deeply involved in the palace of Qin for many years. It dominated the politics of Qin State, influenced Qin Chu's diplomacy, changed the territory at the end of the Warring States Period, and even changed the historical trend after more than two thousand years. We learned detective-like evidence collection and logical analysis from Li Kaiyuan's Fan Qin. He used a piece of evidence and clue to explore the face of real history. This writing rule of exploring history makes readers feel happy, and also makes us feel that we should learn from history.
