The news spread in Qin made all countries a little happy.

The King of Qin is finally going to die?

This Qin King spent four or five generations of kings in other countries. Now the monarchs in various places are much smaller than him. Like the King of Yan, they are about the same age as his grandson. The Qin King's rule was too long, and the rule time of the former Duke Xiao, Huiwen, and Wu were not as much as that of him. This Qin King was famous, respected by all countries, and even feared him.

Qin's crushing attitude towards the countries appeared during his rule. He was not qualified to succeed the throne. At that time, King Wu of Qin and the strong man Meng Shuo competed with the Longwen Red Ding in the Taimiao of the Zhou royal family in Luoyang. Unfortunately, his shin was broken and he died. King Wu suddenly died and had no son, and had a dispute over the issue of his successor. Queen Xuan wanted to establish Gongzi Fu, and competed with Gongzi Zhuang, whom Empress Huiwen wanted to establish, and received the support of the think tank Chun Liji.

However, King Wuling of Zhao insisted on embracing Prince Ji, who was a hostage in Yan State, as the King of Qin. Perhaps because this Prince Ji, who was a hostage in Yan State, was very ordinary, or perhaps he deliberately wanted to disrupt the internal situation of Qin State. Qin was still under some pressure in the face of the powerful Zhao State who had just experienced military reforms. In the end, he had no choice but to support Prince Zhao Ji, as the King of Qin, which was a compromise between the two sides.

When this young man just succeeded to the throne, he seemed a little immature. He returned the occupied land to South Korea, Chu and other countries many times to establish alliances with them. The full strength within the country was also concentrated in the hands of the powerful and powerful. The King of Qin did not have much real power. Changes started with a young man with the pseudonym Zhang Lu. Since this young man appeared beside the King of Qin, the King of Qin began his glorious life.

With the distance and attacked nearby, the land of Qin was continuously expanded, and defeated various countries many times in military affairs, which forced all countries to unite against Qin. Politically, he governed the rear, and the Bashu area became the granary of Qin, and the Guanzhong area became more peaceful and rich. The Hu people in the border areas surrendered and became an inseparable part of Qin. Even Xunzi expressed his high recognition of Qin's political affairs.

Now, this king, who is like a tiger and wolf, is just lying on the bed, moaning in pain, and his whole body becomes weaker and weaker.

Sure enough, only time is the most powerful murderer, and no one can resist it. Even a god of killing like Bai Qi or a wise monarch like Qin Wang must succumb to its power and lower his head helplessly.

Although the King of Qin was weak, he did not delay the country's affairs. He lay on the bed. The King of Qin ordered everyone: Let King An take care of state affairs on his behalf and let the ministers assist him. King An of Qin had been the crown prince for many years and finally ushered in the time to take charge of his own decision. However, King An of Guo was not happy. He was very worried about his father. He was worried every day and would go to see King Qin sooner or later.

His actions not only did not make the King of Qin happy, but instead made the King of Qin curse: I asked you to govern the country! What do you do when you come to the palace every day? Are you in a hurry to be the king?!

An Guojun took over the Qin King to deal with state affairs, and An Guojun completed a major event and followed the advice of Zheng State to build a canal in the Guanzhong area. After obtaining An Guojun's permission, the ministers began to get busy, and a large amount of supplies were transferred to the Guanzhong area. People from all over the country also mobilized them. Zheng State was personally responsible for the construction. Qin State did not stop developing because of the Qin King's serious illness.

When Zhao Kuo came to visit King Qin, the King of Qin asked Zhao Kuo to sit beside him and started chatting with him.

The King of Qin, lying on the bed, became a gentle old man, no longer had the domineering spirit he used to, and began to talk to Zhao Kuo about the future of Qin. "Wu Chengjun... do you know what is the most important thing for being a king?" The King of Qin asked with a smile.

Zhao Kuo thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably about hiring people."

"You are right. The monarch must know how to employ people, but there is also one very important thing... that is the descendants."

"You once said that a mediocre king can destroy the efforts of generations of kings... In fact, you are right... I have understood this very early, so I have given birth to many children and spent my time teaching them. I have invited many talented people to teach their children until they become adults... I personally teach them the principles of being kings and treat them harshly..."

"My children are afraid of me, but they don't love me."

"It is their blessing to be born in the king's family, so they have to bear the corresponding responsibilities... When An Guojun was young, he was naughty and he hated him the most. At the worst, he hung him up and beat him with a whip... Finally, he grew up to be a qualified successor. Even if he was not as good as me, he would not ruin my efforts... I also asked my son to teach his children like me..."

The King of Qin grinned and said, "Teaching qualified heirs is what the king should do."

Zhao Kuoshen agreed, he nodded and said, "You are right... It's true."

"I am not worried about the future of Qin. An Guojun and Gongzi Yiren are all qualified kings. Zheng grows up by your side, so I don't have to worry even more... He will definitely be a kind and wise king... And you are still very young, I hope that you can teach his son and his grandson for him..." The King of Qin smiled and coughed again. Zhao Kuo hurried forward and wanted to call a doctor, but the King of Qin shook his head.

“No need…”

"You said, can Qin State accomplish a king's world?"

"able."

"I want to see politics..."

Zhao Kuo left the palace and returned home. He called Zhao Zheng and ordered Ge to take him to the palace. Although Zhao Zheng didn't know why his father asked him to go to the palace, he still didn't ask too much, and Zhao Kuo did not follow him and stayed here. Now, Zhao Kuo is taking his disciples to study a proposition, that is, the issue of breeding and cultivation. Zhao Kuo cooperated with the farmers to build 500 acres of experimental fields in Xianyang.

There are millet and wheat breeding, seed selection, domestication of wild plants, and the combination of wild plants and edible plants.

Zhao Kuo was not familiar with agricultural knowledge, but he knew genetics, and he also knew that humans had long domesticated nature. All the fruits and crops eaten by humans in later generations were actually domesticated. What Zhao Kuo was different from others was that he knew the taste of these things in later generations, such as apples, and apples from this era, were called sausages. This thing was used by the nobles as sachets and could not be eaten at all.

For example, when wild wheat in this era matures, the stems that keep the wheat shafts together will be crushed, so that the seeds can disperse and without a shell, they will germinate quickly. However, this natural and beneficial vulnerability is not suitable for humans, because wheat cannot be harvested and can only be picked up from the ground... This also requires artificial domestication. It can be said that the people of this era cannot eat enough, and it is not entirely because of war.

Because he does not domesticate wild plants at all, there are too few things to eat.

Zhao Kuo had a meal of wheat and almost sprayed it out. It was too unpalatable. There had been stone mills in this era, but the wheat was not delicious.

Zhao Zheng walked into the palace, and a warrior brought him to the King of Qin. Zhao Zheng looked at the old man on the bed, for some reason, but felt a little sad. He leaned over to salute the old man, and then knelt obediently. The King of Qin ordered the warrior to support him and sit up, and then looked at Zheng in front of him with a smile. He waved his hand and the warriors left. Only him and Zhao Zheng were left here.

"Zheng...do you know who you are?"

The King of Qin asked.

Zhao Zheng said seriously: "I am Ma Fuzi."

The King of Qin laughed, and he said again, "I want to tell you a story." Zhao Zheng did not reply, and the King of Qin said, "At the beginning, Qin wanted to attack Chu. In order to avoid going to war with Zhao, he sent a proton to Zhao to improve his relationship with Zhao... This proton married a wife in Zhao and made many friends. When Qin was preparing to attack Zhao, the proton was preparing to escape back to Qin..."

"But his wife was pregnant and he could not take them away, so he could only give her wife to his friends and let him take care of her... Later, his child was born in Zhao State... The proton called Zhao Yiren, his wife was Zhao Ji, his friend was Wu Chengjun, and his son was you." The King of Qin said seriously.

Zhao Zheng was silent and looked at the King of Qin calmly.

"I've known it a long time ago."

"Oh?" The King of Qin was a little surprised. He looked at the calm child in front of him. He did not cry, did not make excuses, nor was he sad. Zhao Zheng said calmly: "Mr. Xun told me about this long ago. He said: The responsibility of parents is not just for childbirth, but more importantly for raising and teaching. When my father in Qin gave birth to me, I should be grateful for his kindness, but I don't love him. He did not fulfill his duties, and I don't have to fulfill his duties as a son."

"My father in Zhao State treated me as his son. Whether it was the eldest mother, mother, Gong Ge, Gong Di, Gong Xing, and my senior brothers, they treated me as their family... They taught me a lot, but they did not teach me to betray their family." Zhao Zheng said calmly.

The face of the King of Qin became a little ugly, and he asked gloomy: "Then you should know that if you don't recognize your father in Qin, you will not be able to inherit the throne, right?"

"Oh? Will you recognize an outsider as your father because of the throne?" Zhao Zheng asked back.

The King of Qin sneered and said, "I will..."

"Why?"

"Because I want everyone to remember my name, so that later generations dare not forget to worship, and enemies dare not face me, and let everyone bow their heads in front of me! This is something that only the king can do!" The King of Qin said, and asked again: "Do you want to get the throne?"

"Of course I want... If I want to surpass my father, I have to be the king and establish a great cause that no one can compare with. You, your ancestors, and even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors... This is what I should do."

The King of Qin sneered and said, "Then you need to recognize Yi Ren as your father, otherwise you will not be able to get the throne! Not to mention anything beyond the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

"I will not admit it, but the throne must be mine. Unless you kill me here, you will be with the cowards who are beaten and cry by me and will only complain to their parents? Can they stop me? I can just take a sharp sword and kill them."

The King of Qin widened his eyes and said, "That man can only kill you."

"You can't stop me either. If you kill me, father, senior brother, Xun Gong, everyone will betray you. They will leave Qin and become enemies of Qin. All the achievements you have established will fail... Unless you kill them all, Qin will be not far from destruction. This is why I dare to talk to you like this." Zhao Zheng said seriously.

"Are there any more?"

"You want to be the king of the world... Among my peers, I am the most suitable successor. Not only will you not be angry, but you will also be very happy."

The King of Qin was stunned. He looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him and asked, "How old are you?"

"It's exactly eight years old."

"This is something that an eight-year-old can say? Who taught you?"

"It's what I thought of."

The King of Qin was shocked and could not speak. This time he called Zhao Zhenglai. He originally wanted to teach him something that Xunzi and others could not teach, that is, how to become a monarch, but now it seems that this child still needs to be taught? How did Zhao Kuo teach this? The King of Qin suddenly burst into laughter. He looked very happy. He narrowed his eyes and said playfully: "The monarchs of the six kingdoms will set up banquets to celebrate my death!"

"But they won't understand that their real nightmare is coming!"

The King of Qin smiled, looked at Zhao Zheng again, and said with some disgust: "Okay, go back and tell the warriors outside to call An Guojun and Yiren in!" Zhao Zheng stood up, leaned over to salute the King of Qin, and then walked out of the hall. The King of Qin watched him leave, but the shock in his heart was hard to hide. Inexplicably, he was a little angry. Why are children now so precocious?

I prepared the teaching for several days, but I couldn't say a word!

Soon, An Guojun and Yiren also came here.

The King of Qin's face was a good look, much better than the previous few days, which made An Guojun very happy. He knelt in front of his father, his hands trembling slightly. The King of Qin also felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at the white-haired son in front of him. He looked at the Yiren beside him and then he seriously reminded: "You must make Zhao Zheng the crown prince and let him inherit your position. If you can't let him inherit your position, then kill him."

Yi Ren widened his eyes and killed him??

"Although Zheng didn't grow up next to me, he is my son. How can I..."

"Then make him the heir!" the King of Qin roared.

Yiren nodded quickly and agreed to this matter. The King of Qin then asked Yiren to leave here, just looking at An Guojun.

"Zhu...I can't do it anymore...I can't hold on anymore...I'm going to leave it to you."

"Father~~", An Guojun suddenly started crying. He walked to the side of the King of Qin with a crutch, buried his head in his father's arms, and cried loudly. The King of Qin wanted to scold him, but when he buried his head in his arms, the King of Qin could not say anything. He stretched out his hand, gently stroked An Guojun's back, and coaxed: "Stop crying... stop crying..."

Just like fifty years ago, the King of Qin held his newborn child, gently stroked his back, and coaxed him.
