When Hou heard about it, he sent people to call Cai Ze.When Cai Ze enters, he bows to Yinghou, but Yinghou is not happy; when he sees him, he is arrogant.Ying Hou Yinrang said: "Is it true that Zichang declared that he will be my representative to Qin?" Confrontation: "Yes." Ying Hou said: "Please hear what he said." Cai Ze said: "Wow! He Jun sees It’s too late. Husband’s order of four seasons, the successful ones go. My wife has strong siblings, clever ears and eyes, and a holy heart, isn’t it what a scholar wants?” Yinghou said: “Yes.” Cai Ze said: “Zhiren Bingyi, do the way and give virtue to the world, the world cherishes joy and respect, and is willing to be a king, so don't you think about the time of wisdom?" Yinghou said: "Yes." Cai Zefu said: "Wealth and glory are manifested, all things are rational, and all things have their own place; life and longevity Long, it lasts for a lifetime without being injured; the world inherits its rule, keeps its karma, spreads it endlessly, its name is pure and true, and it will flow for thousands of generations. Good deeds?" Ying Hou said: "Yes." Cai Ze said: "If Qin is a merchant, Chu is Wu Qi, and Yue is a great official, his death is also willing."

Ying Hou knew that Cai Zezhi wanted to imprison himself and said, "Why not? Husband and grandson martingale are filial dukes. They are extremely selfless. They believe in rewards and punishments to rule them. , deceived the old friend, captured the son of Wei, died as a general of Qin Qin, defeated the enemy army, and drove the land thousands of miles. If righteousness does not seek to discredit, there must be an uncle who will strengthen the country and will not shy away from disaster. The doctor will do things more than the king, the master will be free from embarrassment and humiliation, and he will be loyal but not understand. Although the master is dead, he will do his best and never leave. Arrogance. If these three sons, the righteousness is the utmost, and the loyalty is also. Therefore, the gentleman kills himself to become famous, and the righteousness lies. Although the body dies, there is no regret, so why not?"

Cai Ze said: "The Lord, the sage, and the ministers are virtuous, and the world is blessed; the ruler is wise and the ministers are loyal, and the country is blessed; the father is kind and the son is filial, and the husband is faithful and the wife is chaste, and the family is blessed. When Wu survived, filial piety was born and the state of Jin was in chaos. There are loyal ministers and filial sons, and the country is in chaos. Why? The ignorant lord and virtuous father listen to it. Therefore, the whole world has a ruler who humiliates his father and pities his ministers. After a husband dies, he can establish loyalty. Fame is due to the lack of benevolence of the micro, the lack of saintliness of Confucius, and the lack of greatness of Guan Zhong." So Ying Hou called him good.

Cai Zede was young, because he said: "Shang Jun, Wu Qi, Dafu Zhong, if they are ministers, they are loyal and dedicated, so they are willing to do so. Hong Yao is the king of Wen, and the Duke of Zhou assists the king. Isn't he also loyal? As a monarch and minister In terms of it, Shangjun, Wu Qi, and Dafu are different, which one would you like to compare with Hongyao and Zhou Gongzai?" Yinghou said: "Shangjun, Wu Qi, and Dafu are not as good." Cai Ze said: "The lord of the monarch, Benevolent and loyal, do not bully the old, who is it with Qin Xiaogong, Chu Mourning King, and Yue King?" Ying Hou said: "I don't know how." Cai Ze said: "The Lord is loyal and loyal, but Qin Xiao, King Yue, and Yue Mourning of the Chu Dynasty. The king is the main one, who is chaotic, overwhelmed by troubles, and afflicted by hardships. The land is vast, the valley is cultivated, the country is rich, the family is full, and the ruler is strong. But the king's salary is expensive and prosperous, and the wealth of the private family is more than that of the three sons, but the body does not retreat, and the thief is in danger for the king. There is a saying, "The sun will shift, and the moon will lose." Advancing and retreating, gaining and shrinking, and changing are the common ways of a sage. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi united nine feudal lords, governed the world, and went to the meeting of Kuiqiu. He had the look of arrogance. Ling Qi, Jin, then killed the country. Xia Yu and Tai Shi Qi horrified the three armies, but they died of mediocrity. This is not as good as the reason. Husbands and merchants are filial. Qianmo teaches the people to cultivate and fight. It is because the army moves to expand the land, and the army rests to make the country rich. Therefore, Qin is invincible in the world and establishes the prestige of the princes. The achievements have been made, so they are split by chariots. Chu is thousands of miles away, with millions of armors, and Bai Qi leads Tens of thousands of troops fought against Chu, raised Yan and Ying in the first battle, and burned Yiling in the second battle. The people, bleeding into rivers, boiled like thunder, made Qin Yedi. After that, Zhao and Chu were frightened and subdued. Those who dared not attack Qin for more than [-] years would rise in vain. Those who were subdued were more than [-] cities. The meritorious service has been accomplished, and I bestowed death on Du You. Wu Qi mourned for Chu, dismissed the incompetent, useless, and unscrupulous officials. It is a custom of the Chu state to attack Yang Yue in the south, and join Chen and Cai in the north. Breaking the horizontality and scattered followers, so that the scholars who speak fast have nothing to say. The meritorious service has been completed, and the soldiers are dismembered. The doctor planted grass for the king of Yue, opened up land and planted valleys, and led the people from all directions. Wu, success in hegemony. Goujian eventually killed them. The four sons, who succeeded but did not leave, are the disasters. This is called the one who believes but cannot lie, and goes but cannot reverse. Fan Li knows that he transcends the world and grows up to be Tao Mr. Zhu. Are you the only one who doesn’t watch the blog? Either you want to make a big investment, or you want to divide the merits. This is all well known by you. Now that you are in the Qin Dynasty, you can’t count on the lap mat. Some people don’t go out of the corridor temple, sit and control the princes, and benefit. The three rivers are suitable for Yang with their reality; they will cut off the dangers of sheep's intestines, plug the mouth of Taihang, and cut off the roads of Fan and Zhongxing. This is also the time for Qin to divide the merits! If you don’t retreat, then Shang Jun, Bai Gong, Wu Qi, and Da Fu are the same. Why don’t you return to the prime minister at this time, and let the sages teach it, there must be the integrity of Boyi; For Yinghou, the world calls him lonely, but he has the longevity of Qiao and Song. Which one will end in disaster! Where does the king live?" Yinghou said Shan.Naiyan came in and sat down as the guest.

A few days later, when he entered the court, he said to King Qin Zhao: "There is a new guest, Cai Ze, who came from Shandong. Language, talk about it, and worship as a guest.Yinghou thanked him for his illness, please return to the prime minister.Zhao Wang forced Yinghou, and Yinghou was called Benedict, because he was exempted from the prime minister.Zhao Wangxin said Cai Ze's plan, so he worshiped as Qin Xiang, and took over the Zhou family in the east.Cai Zexiang was the king of Qin for a few months. People might hate him and fear punishment.Lived in Qin for more than ten years, King Zhao, King Xiaowen, and King Zhuangxiang.The first emperor died.He was Qin's envoy to Yan, and Yan envoyed Prince Dan to Qin for three years.

Lu Buwei helps the son and another man return to Qin
"Historical Records: Biography of Lu Buwei"

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.

Then he went to see Zi Chu, and said: "I can belong to the door of the eldest son." !" Lu Buwei said: "You don't know, but my door is as big as your door." Zi Chu knew what was going on, so he led and sat down, talking deeply.Lu Buwei said: "The king of Qin is old, and Mr. An is 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 can I do?" Lu Buwei said: "My son is poor, and the guests are here, so there is no way to make offerings to relatives and guests. Although Buwei is poor, please use a thousand gold as your son to travel west, serve the king of An and Mrs. Huayang, and establish a son as a suitable heir "Zi Chu Nai nodded and said: "It must be like the king's policy, please share the Qin State with 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 was fortunate to be able to serve as a harem, but unfortunately she had no children. The original son, Chu Li, thought he was a suitable heir to entrust the 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.

Lu Buwei and the concubines of Handan are very fond of dancers and live with them, knowing that they are pregnant.Zi Chu has never been Wei Yin, he said it when he saw it, because it is his life, please.Lu Buwei was furious, Nianye had already ruined his family and became his son Chu, and wanted to catch a strange one, so he offered his concubine.Ji concealed her pregnancy, and when she reached her maturity, she gave birth to a son.Zi Chu then made Ji his wife.

In the 50th year of King Qin Zhao, Wang Yu besieged Handan, and Zhao wanted to kill his son Chu in a hurry.Zi Chu conspired with Lv Buwei to give six hundred catties of gold to the guards and officials, so that they could get rid of it.He died and went to the Qin army, so he returned.Zhao wanted to kill Zi Chu's wife.Mrs. Zi Chu, the daughter of Zhao Hao's family, had to hide, so the mother and son survived.

Lord Yangquan avoided the banquet, please hear what he said.Buwei said: "The king is old, the queen has no sons, and the sons have the business of inheriting the country, and they are assisted by the scholars. One day the king's mountains collapse, the son stands, and the soldiers use the warehouses. The queen's door will definitely produce basil. The son is different from others. The material is also abandoned in Zhao, without a mother inside, leading the west to look, and wishing to return. The queen sincerely asks to establish it. It is a son who has no country but a king who has no son but has a son." Yangquan Lord said: " Of course." Talking about the queen, the queen invited Zhao and returned.

Zhao Weizhi sent, Bu Wei said Zhao said: "The son is a different person, Qin's favorite son, there is no mother in the middle, the queen wants to take it, but the son.

There is no master to teach you, and you are not used to reciting." The king stopped.It is to stay.He said: "Your Majesty tried to steer chariots in Zhao. Many of Zhao's heroes are well-known. Now the king is rebelling against the country, and everyone looks to the west. The king has no one to save him. I am afraid that all of them will have resentment. Make the frontier close early and open late." Wang thought it was true, and he was very talented.The queen persuaded him to stand up.Wang Nai summoned the prime minister and ordered him to say: "The son of a widow is like Chu."
