Lu Buwei is also a native of Dajia in Yangzhai.Trading cheap and selling expensive, the family is rich.

In the 40th year of King Qin Zhao, the prince died.In the 42nd year of his reign, his second son, An Guojun, was the crown prince.An Guojun has more than twenty sons.An Guojun loved his concubine very much, so he made him his wife and named her Mrs. Huayang.Mrs. Huayang has no children.An Guojun's male name is Zi Chu, and Zi Chu's mother is called Xia Ji, Wuai.Zi Chu is Qin's host to Zhao.Qin Shu attacked Zhao, but Zhao was not very polite to Zi Chu.

Zi Chu, the evil grandson of the Qin Dynasty, is inferior to the princes, and the car is not forgiving, and the house is difficult and unhappy.Lu Buwei visited Handan, saw it and felt sorry for it, saying, "This rare product can be lived in".But he went to see Zi Chu, and said, "I am the door of the eldest son." Zi Chu laughed and said, "Besides the door of the great king, it is my door!" Lu Buwei said: "I don't know, my door treats the door of my son And big." Zi Chu knew the so-called in his heart, so he led and sat down, talking deeply.Lu Buwei said: "The king of Qin is old, and Mr. An has to be the crown prince. I heard that Mrs. An loves Mrs. Huayang, and Mrs. Huayang has no children. Only Mrs. Huayang can establish a suitable heir. Today, there are more than [-] brothers and sons. It is not very fortunate to be in the middle, and he will be a prince for a long time. That is to say, the great king is dead, and the king of An Guo is established as the king, so the son will hardly compete with the eldest son and the other sons who are in front of him for the crown prince." Zi Chu said: "Yes. What is it?" Lu Buwei said: "My son is poor, and guests are here, so there is no way to make offerings to relatives and guests. Although Buwei is poor, please use a thousand pieces of gold as your son to travel west. It is suitable for the king of An and Mrs. Huayang to establish a son. Heir." Zi Chu Nai paused and said: "It must be like the king's policy, please share with Qin the king."

Lu Buwei gave Zichu [-] gold for the purpose of making guests, and then used [-] gold to buy strange things to play with. He traveled westward to Qin Dynasty and asked to see Mrs. Huayang and his sisters.Because of his son Chu Xianzhi, he gathered guests from all over the world, and often said, "Chu also regards his wife as the sky, and weeps and thinks about the prince and his wife day and night."Madam is overjoyed.Buwei asked his sister to say to his wife: "I heard that those who use sex to serve others will love to relax when their looks fade. Today, my wife is a prince. She loves her so much and has no children. Don't use this time to tie yourself up among the sages. Filial piety, stand up and think it is suitable for the son, and the husband will respect it when the husband is a hundred years old. After the husband is a hundred years old, the son of the son will be the king, and will not lose power. After the color fades and the love is relaxed, even if you want to say something, can you still get it? Today's son Chu Xian knows that he is also a middle-aged man, and the next time is not suitable, and his mother is unlucky, so she attaches herself to his wife. I think it is suitable, but my wife will actually favor Qin in the world." Mrs. Huayang thought so, and among the crown princes, she calmly said that Chu's quality is better than that of Zhao.Weeping because of tears, he said: "The concubine is fortunate to be able to serve as a harem, but unfortunately has no children. I hope that my son Chu will be considered a suitable heir to entrust my concubine." An Guojun promised it, and he carved a jade talisman with his wife, making an appointment as a suitable heir.An Guojun and his wife asked Lu Buwei to teach him because they donated generously to their son Chu, and Zi Chu's reputation became more prosperous among the princes.
