Chapter 196 Chen Kanzhi asks (continued)

Lao Ai, the lover of Qin Shihuang's mother Zhao Ji, was entrusted by Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei to enter the palace as a fake eunuch. He had an affair with the Queen Mother of Qin Ying Zheng, the mother of Qin Ying Zheng, and had two sons with the Queen Mother, and claimed to be the "fake father" of Qin Ying Zheng. Later, he was sentenced to death by Qin Ying Zheng for launching a rebellion. Five horses were dismembered and killed.

The records of the Grand Historian record: "The First Emperor became stronger and stronger, and the Empress Dowager continued to be lustful. Lu Buwei was afraid that the disaster would affect him, so he privately sought the Dayin man Lao Ai as a sacrificer. At that time, he advocated joy and asked Li Ai to go with his tung wheel. He asked the Empress Dowager to hear about it and eat the Empress Dowager."

The simple general is that Lao Ai's male genitals are very awesome and can turn the wheels. The empress dowager was very moved when she heard this. Then Lu Buwei walked through the back door and did not "cast" and sent him to the harem. Because he was a fake eunuch, he then had a lot of trouble with the empress dowager.

"About Lao Ai, the first question is, why should he be granted a marquis? You must know that after Shang Yang's reform, it was a very serious matter to be granted a marquis in Qin State. Without great military achievements, it is absolutely impossible to be granted a marquis. So why should Lao Ai be granted a marquis?" Chen Kan asked.

"Bai Qi, after nearly twenty years of military career, was able to move the capital of Chu, and was named Wu'an Jun. (The royal family is mostly granted lords, and many relatives, generals and ministers in the foreign country are called marquis. Bai Qi is a member of the royal family, so he is called 'jun'); in addition, when Wang Jian destroyed Chu, he often wrote to King Ying Zheng of Qin, saying that if he really destroyed Chu, he would give him a waiter at that time, which shows that waiting for this title is rare."

"So what is Lao Ai's military merit? Why is he accredited to be a marquis? Is it obvious that this is impossible because of his good relationship with the empress dowager, so Lao Ai must have made great military merits. The question is what is his military merit?"

"..." The students frowned. These questions were not very high-end, they didn't expect them normally. These materials were very sparse and ordinary, and most people could think of them, but they just didn't think about them.

But it is precisely because of this that it seems interesting.

"The second question is that Lao Ai rebelled. We all know that in the end, Lao Ai rebelled for nothing and was then broken into pieces by Ying Zheng's car. Now let's assume that you are Lao Ai. Who is your target when you rebelled?"

"Of course it was King Ying Zheng of Qin and Prime Minister Lu Buwei." There was finally a question that could be answered, and everyone answered.

"That's right, but the problem is that the place of Lao Ai's rebellion was Xianyang, but on that day, it happened to be the day when Ying Zheng was crowned as an adult. Qin King Ying Zheng and Prime Minister Lu Buwei and other ministers were not in Xianyang City. What does Lao Ai's rebellion mean? Is he stupid?"

"This..." Everyone didn't know how to answer, yes, how to explain this? Could it be that he wants to become king, just kidding.

Chen Kan still didn't answer and continued with a smile: "Now let's take a look at Qin Shihuang's eldest son, Prince Fusu, everyone is familiar with this person!"

Fusu, Ying's surname, is named Fusu, often called Prince Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang. Fusu was a politically foresighted figure among the rulers of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang gave him high hopes. He believed that the world was settled and the people were not at peace, and opposed the implementation of severe policies such as burning books and burying scholars. Therefore, he angered Qin Shihuang. Qin Shihuang sent him to Shangjun to supervise Meng Tian's army, assisted Meng Tian in building the Great Wall and resisting the Huns. In the end, Li Si and Zhao Gao committed suicide by committing suicide by placing a false imperial edict.

"First of all, it was his death. Why did Qin Shihuang let him die if he died? It was you. Would you be so obedient? Besides, Meng Tian stopped him at that time and told him not to commit suicide, which means that Meng Tian and Fusu were all the way. He had 300,000 border guards in his hands, so why were he so obedient? As for what Fusu Renwei, do you believe this statement?"

Everyone shook their heads. Even ants were greedy for life, let alone human beings. Besides, there was no theory like "Heaven, Earth, Lord and Master" and "Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues". It was a Confucian thing. In the Qin Dynasty, Confucianism was nothing, let alone Fusu was a royal person.

He is fully capable of taking a try, so why should he commit suicide so obediently? What is the reason behind it?

"The second point is that in China, the first peasant uprising in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising. In order to 'kill the tyrannical Qin', they raised two big banners. One was Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, and Xiang Yu's grandfather. This is easy to understand. He is a general of Chu, but the second person is Fusu. What is the reason?"

"Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are going to destroy Qin. What is this going on if you take out the former crown prince of the Qin Dynasty as a banner? Although Sima Qian gave an explanation, it is too far-fetched and cannot be explained in common sense. Why was Fusu used as a banner to anti-Qin?"

"It seems that this is true..." Some students have read the Records of the Grand Historian and wanted to use Sima Qian's explanation in the Records of the Grand Historian to reason, but after Chen Kan said this, they also felt that Sima Qian's explanation of Fusu's benevolence and righteousness was too far-fetched.

"Also, in the Records of the Grand Historian, there is a man named Cheng Qi, who is Ying Zheng's younger brother. When he was seven years old, he asked South Korea to cede a hundred miles of land to Qin, which was even more powerful than Ganluo, but in the end he treason and surrendered to Zhao. Why is that?"

"Anyway, about Qin Shihuang's life experience, is Qin Shihuang really the son of Lu Buwei? How likely do you think is this?"

Although everyone had basically believed that Qin Shihuang was the son of Lu Buwei, after hearing Chen Kan's question, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not very sure. The only evidence is that it comes from the records of Lu Buwei in "Records of the Grand Historian". However, in the original novel of Qin Shihuang in "Records of the Grand Historian", Qin Shihuang's father was not Lu Buwei.

According to this probability, that is 50%. The reason why Qin Shihuang is set as Lu Buwei's son in film and television works is that this kind of gossip can arouse everyone's interest.

But history is not a subject calculated by probability.

In ancient times, the management of the harem was very strict, which was a kind of focus on blood ties. The possibility of such a child not being a royal family was extremely small.

Of course, this can only be speculation, and there is no real evidence to support it.

"There is another question, which is what is Qin Shihuang's contribution to unification of the world? In Jia Yi's "On the Over Qin Dynasty", it is written that Qin Shihuang was "strengthening the remaining strength for the six generations of generations". In other words, Qin Shihuang was actually a king. Because his ancestors had accumulated well, Qin Shihuang easily unified the world. Is this really the case?"

The students stared at Chen Kan with wide eyes. Chen Kan's problems had successfully attracted their attention.

"Is there any explanation for these questions? Is there a theory or a reason to answer all these questions?"
