A rich merchant in the state of Han, named Lü Buwei, met Master Yiren (公子異人). Lü Buwei's manipulation helped Yiren become King Zhuangxiang of Qin.[4] At the time, King Zhuangxiang of Qin was a prince of blood Qin, who took residence in the court of Zhao as a hostage to guarantee an armistice between the two states.[13]
According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Zhao Zheng, first emperor, was born in 259 BC as the eldest son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.[2][14] King Zhaoxiang of Qin saw a concubine belonging to Lü Buwei, and she bore the first emperor.[14] At birth, he was given the personal name Zheng (政).[14] Because Zheng was born in Handan, capital of the enemystate of Zhao (趙), he had the name Zhao Zheng.[14] Zhao Zheng's ancestors are said to have come from Gansu province.
