Lu Buwei has three thousand disciples, countless younger brothers inside and outside the court, and the six kingdoms are full of friends. Even if Lu Buwei joins the army and divides the river with Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, it seems not difficult to turn Luoyang into a country in the country. A hero like Lu Buwei

Characters, why don’t you resist and commit suicide obediently when you see a letter...

That's because Lu Buwei saw the helplessness behind this letter!

Now when we mention the "Shang Yang Reform", we will think of the two fundamentals of the power of Qin, "military merits and titles" and "farming and war" national policy. These two core strategies have completely stimulated the bloodiness of the Qin people and greatly improved the national strength of Qin.

.

But everyone usually ignores a very important core in the reform, that is, "monarchy autocracy". "Shang Yang's reform" strengthens the authority of the monarch in terms of system and thought. It unified the power that originally belonged to the nobles and gave it to the monarch in a unified manner.

, created the ancient monarchical and authoritarian social pattern.

It is precisely because the "Shang Yang Reform" redefined the social order and made the royal power of Qin unprecedentedly powerful. The most powerful prime minister of Qin was not Lu Buwei, but Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang who had been in charge of the state for 41 years.

His power in Qin State was far greater than that in Lu Buwei. Behind him was his powerful sister, Queen Mother Xuan, and his brothers and nephews, who were extremely powerful, even more than the king. However, in the end, he was expelled from Xianyang because he lost the trust of King Zhao of Qin and moved to Xianyang.

The fiefdom outside the pass has gone.

Therefore, in the commanding heights of Qin's King's possession of power, a royal edict could basically overshadow the voices of all ministers. Lu Buwei was the prime minister of Qin for more than ten years, and he relied on the trust of the King of Qin. Once he lost his trust, he

It's nothing, and it's easy for the King of Qin to deal with him.

Secondly, the power of the Qin royal family is still very large. Although Lu Buwei has controlled the government in Qin for more than ten years, Qin has an ancient tradition. Even the "Shang Yang Reform" has not changed, which is the influence of the clan on the army.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, Lu Liji and Gongzi Hua were both leaders in the army. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, there were still success among the clans, and Ying Cheng and others served as chief generals in the army.

In addition, after Lu Buwei was dismissed from prime minister, the purpose of the Korean Zheng State in the Qin State to build canals was exposed. King Ying Zheng of Qin issued the "Order of Exiting Guests" under the influence of the Qin State nobles.

These aspects fully reflect a reality, that is, the influence of the royal family and nobles in the court and the opposition cannot be ignored. However, an outsider like Lu Buwei, who has been in charge of the government for so many years, has long been dissatisfied with the royal family.

So when Lao Ai rebellion occurred and King Ying Zheng of Qin wanted to get rid of Lu Buwei, this huge Qin royal family and noble forces immediately became the strong backing of the King of Qin. Coupled with the military power behind them, Lu Buwei wanted to rebel almost.

It is impossible to succeed, because the only power that Lu Buwei can mobilize in his hands is the three thousand disciples under his command. To put it more, the Qin State was extremely powerful and the other six countries were breathless, and Lu Buwei was among the six countries.

The famous one is very good. He may have been able to get support from other six countries when he rebelled, but even so, Lu Buwei's hope of success was very slim, because at this time, Qin had beaten up all the neighbors around him, even if there were other people around him.

A country sent troops to attack Qin, and it was difficult to shake the Qin army. Lu Buwei had feelings for Qin. In terms of emotion, he was loyal to Qin. He would not succeed in rebelling, but would only make Qin weaker. Merchants value profit.

Fake, a smart businessman is more interested in win-win situations. If he opposes him, he will not have any benefit, but will suffer both losses. This is something he doesn't want to see. No profit can get up early, and no profit can be done. Lu Buwei will not do anything without profit.

If you want to kill the minister, you don’t have to say it very clearly. If you punish a few words of punishment, you will understand it. King Goujian of Yue killed Wenzhong and gave Wenzhong a sword. Wenzhong understood it and raised his sword to commit suicide; King Zhaoxiang of Qin

When killing Bai Qi, he also gave Bai Qi a sword. Bai Qi understood and raised his sword to commit suicide.

Before becoming an official, Lu Buwei was a businessman. Although the status of the businessman was the lowest at that time, he still had a strong sense of self-esteem, otherwise there would not be some things that happened during his later period of office. During his administration,

Qi, Wei, Zhao and Chu each had a talented man, collectively known as the Four Princes. Because there was no name in it, Lu Buwei recruited many disciples and invited him to make money and fame.

From this incident, we can see that Lu Buwei is a very good person and wants to use culture to reshape his image and completely get rid of his former businessman status. He has his own pride and self-esteem.

It was not his wish to let him go to Shu like a dog that was a loser to survive for the rest of his life, and it was not what he wanted to let him rebel. No matter what victory or defeat, he was known as a traitor, how could he feel, who had always praised the fourth son of the Warring States Period.

Lu Buwei always knew that Ying Zheng actually didn't have that much hatred for him. After all, he had helped him successfully survive the struggle in the palace. Over the years, he sheltered Ying Zheng from the wind and rain, and he had no credit.

Working hard, I also know that Ying Zheng just wants to take back the power in his hands. However, if he has been alive,

It has always been a threat to Ying Zheng. To the extent of his power, it is no longer measured by the level of official positions. His connections, his reputation, and his potential influence are by no means comparable to official positions, as mentioned above.

If Lu Buwei is willing, he can serve as prime minister in the other six countries at will. If Lu Buwei is willing, he can remotely accuse the court of making his own voice through others. If he is willing to raise his arms, countless disciples from the Qin State responded and gathered together.

It is not difficult for thousands of people to be under his command. There is a saying that only dead people can keep secrets. The same applies to the present. What Ying Zheng wants is not only to regain the power in his hands. His existence is a threat to Ying Zheng for one day.

, It is also a threat to the Qin royal family. If it continues, no matter whether he goes to Shudu or not, Qin will not let him go easily. Even Ying Zheng's next move may threaten his family and descendants.

.In order for his family to live a good life in the future, Lu Buwei had no choice but to commit suicide.

So Lu Buwei chose to commit suicide by drinking poison. His voluntary suicide was actually sending a signal to Ying Zheng, telling Ying Zheng that I know I am not dead, you can't sleep or eat, and now I will die to fulfill your life. I hope you can forgive me in the past.

My family. Ying Zheng has given enough kindness to Lu Buwei. The reason why Lu Buwei committed suicide was due to the consciousness and pride of a smart man. In fact, this is true. After Lu Buwei's death, the King of Qin not only did not make things difficult for his family, but also
