Since Ying Zheng came to this world, he has been thinking about a question: Why did Ying Zheng's empire end?

The best answer to this question is undoubtedly the passage Gai Nie said to Weizhuang more than thirty years later:

Ying Zheng and his empire will fail.

Because he is just a person but does things that are beyond humanity.

He is just a person, and this huge empire exists because of him, but only he can do it.

He will die because he is just one person and no one can survive.

His empire was born and destroyed by him.

Ying Zheng knew that in the trajectory he should have, Emperor Qin Shi had no opponent, and he had only one opponent, that was himself.

Time is the most deadly thing for the First Emperor. If the First Emperor could live twenty years more, even ten years would be the ending of his empire. However, God did not give him this time, and only lived twelve years after he established his own empire.

Twelve years were too short, and that was only two-thirds of the time. Such time was not enough to convince the hearts of the people of the six countries. Twelve years made the people of the six countries still remember that they were from the six countries. Their bodies had never been old and their national hatreds had never been destroyed.

In this mysterious world, what will the First Emperor die? Disease, aging? Or fate?

If it was just disease and aging, Ying Zheng was not worried. He had enough ability to solve this problem, but what if it was a fate?

Destiny? A very mysterious word. If it were in the previous life, Ying Zheng could laugh it off, but in this world, he had to treat it seriously.

So Ying Zheng was trying to change, such as controlling Qin State earlier, rather than waiting until ten years later to take power, and launching a war to destroy the seven kingdoms earlier, so he also had more time to complete the last step of conquering the world.

But how to break the existing historical trajectory? Ying Zheng saw hope in Zhao Ji.

Because Ying Zheng has already seen that Zhao Ji likes power, but she just likes the luxury that power brings her, not anything else.

This is a woman who likes to enjoy and is not very smart and is more afraid of loneliness. She is also a person who holds one-third of the power of Qin. The Qin King Tiger Talisman is in her hands, and half of the net is still in her hands.

It is much easier to take over these powers from Zhao Ji than to take back power from Lu Buwei or Empress Dowager Huayang, because Zhao Ji's demand seemed too low in Ying Zheng's opinion.

"Zheng'er, things seem to be a little bad." Zhao Ji came in a hurry.

"Is it about Cheng Jia?" Ying Zheng said with his arms holding Zhao Ji.

"How do you know?" Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment. You must know that she received the news like this because of a hidden thread from a net, but Ying Zheng has been staying with him and has not seen anyone else.

"Because I had already agreed with Zhongfu about this matter before," Ying Zheng explained.

"I agreed? Zheng'er, what are the ideas you and Lu Buwei?" Zhao Ji was a little annoyed. If it were only Ying Zheng, she would suspect that Ying Zheng had been deceived, but there was Lu Buwei. He was a person who took one step and looked at three steps. It was impossible for him to know the power of it. The situation in front of him seemed that only he didn't know.

"The reason why the position of the military supervisor is important is that he represents me, the King of Qin. If I were also in Hangu Pass, what would happen to Cheng Qi, the military supervisor?" Ying Zheng helped Zhao Ji sit down and sent the palace maids in the hall back and said.

"Zheng'er is going to Hangu Pass? It's the battlefield. Are you crazy?" Zhao Ji said anxiously.

"I'm not crazy. I can understand the idea of ​​Cheng Huan trying to interfere in the military, because I think so too." Ying Zheng replied.

"No, this thing is absolutely not possible." Zhao Ji's attitude was extremely firm. She had no interest in what the King of Qin should do. She only knew what her son should not do.

"If Zheng'er really wants to gain military power as soon as possible, I can hand over the tiger talisman that your father left with me now, but don't mention the matters of Hangu Pass." Zhao Ji slowed down, hoping to dispel his son's thoughts that should not exist.

"If I don't go, it will really give Cheng Jia a chance." Ying Zheng saw Zhao Ji's changes in his eyes and felt a little touched. Zhao Ji was indeed a good mother at this time.

Zhao Ji was confused for a moment, as if she had made some decision, and angrily said, "Then I'll just treat it as a bargain. I'll admit it because I'll admit it, Zheng'er, you must accept it too."

Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard the word "dog" from Zhao Ji. After all, this kind of behavior similar to a shrew cursing act happens to people with a identities like Zhao Ji. This abnormality will produce a strong sense of contrast, which makes people feel funny.

So Ying Zheng laughed.

Ying Zheng's laughter made Zhao Ji realize his mistake, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and then he became angry, "Why are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

"No, it's not funny at all." Ying Zheng denied.

"Then you still laugh."

"Mother, I'm not laughing at the place where you think I'm laughing, I just remembered the past." Ying Zheng held back his smile and said.

"What did you think of?" Zhao Ji's tone was relieved by Ying Zheng's soft memories.

"Ten years ago when I was in Handan, my mother went out to lend me money to leave me alone at home. But because I went to my neighbor's house to play, I was stolen by the thief. At that time, I was anxious because the food was cut off at home and was afraid of being beaten by my mother, so I kept crying. In order to prevent me from crying, my mother said and acted as a cheap dog." Ying Zheng recalled.

Zhao Ji was brought back to long-lasting memories by Ying Zheng's words, but on the surface there was no change at all. She just said lightly: "You were so young at that time, and you still remember these things."

"Mother, some things are hard to forget because they are engraved in their bones." Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Ji's eyes suddenly turned red. She hated the years of life in Handan, but she liked the memories very much.

"Don't think that if you say this, I will agree to you going to Hangu Pass. If you are really worried about the problem of becoming a clever, at most I will regret it. Without my tiger talisman, neither Empress Dowager Huayang nor Lu Buwei would want to mobilize an army above 100,000." Zhao Ji turned her head and stopped looking at Ying Zheng.

"Mother, I'm already old, and since I've already sat in that position, I can't escape some things." Ying Zheng said.

"I can help you. Your father will give you three points of power in the court before his death, just to ask me to help you." Zhao Ji persuaded.

"I know, but I also know that, mother, you don't like those intrigues."

"I know what you mean. Don't you mean that I'm stupid and can't beat the Empress Dowager Huayang and the others?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"If possible, I hope you can be happy forever and never think about the things that you hate." Ying Zheng seemed to have not heard Zhao Ji's words and continued.

"Mother, I know what you want to protect me, but Mother, I also want to protect you. Besides, some things are going to take the first step, and what is in front of me is an excellent opportunity."

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng, and all kinds of thoughts collided with each other, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

He may have really grown up. Zhao Ji thought to himself.

“What opportunity?”

"The opportunity to conquer the morale of the army, mother, only the King of Qin who truly gains the morale of the army is the king of a country, not just a cold tiger talisman." Ying Zheng explained.

"But the front line is still too dangerous. Do you know that it is Xinlingjun and his five-nation coalition of five countries. I can understand that you want to subdue the morale of the army, but do you know how to defeat the enemy? If you go, the winner and loss of this war will be linked to you. If you lose, you should understand the pros and cons of it." Zhao Ji said worriedly.

"I will go to Hangu Pass at a proper time. In order to create this opportunity, my father and I are already in action."

"Isn't your father's counter-espionage plan unworkable?" Zhao Ji heard Ying Zheng's words, how could he not know what he meant.

"It's not that it doesn't work, it's just that the heat has not arrived. I have added the last handful and the strongest fire. If this fire continues, it will be almost done." Ying Zheng said.

"What if the expected goal is still not achieved?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Then I will never go to Hangu Pass in advance."

"Okay, I'll listen to you for a while. If everything is really as you planned, I'll hand you the tiger talisman." Zhao Ji slapped the table and was extremely proud.

"No, it's better for the tiger talisman to be in your hands. In my hands, many people will not sleep well." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

It is true that I am trying to seize power, but it cannot seem too much. If Empress Dowager Huayang and Lu Buwei notice the crisis at the same time, then I may be caught.

"What do you mean? I always feel like there is something in my words." Zhao Ji thought about it, but couldn't think of one, so she could only smile.
