After the great reshuffle in the palace, Ying Zheng finally took control of the power of the court after Lu Buwei's death. With the death of Zhao Ji, Chu Ji gradually became in danger and did not dare to get involved in worldly affairs every day, even though Lord Changping thought about it several times.
Want to have a relationship with her again, but the lessons from the past are still in front of her. Chu Ji only wants to spend the rest of her life peacefully. For the rest, she does not want to get into trouble again. If she dies unexpectedly, it will not be worth the loss. Therefore, the Chu family's forces gradually fall apart, and Ying Zheng ascends the throne.
In the eleventh year after he ascended the throne, he began to master the majesty and power of the king.
Unconsciously in history, what was supposed to happen a few years later happened several years earlier. Li Mu, who was originally guarding the capital, had an incident here and returned to his fiefdom of Handan with his trusted subordinates. He is now
Handan City had to be built first in order to help Yingzheng in the future. What's more, he had planned to kill Lao Ai, which was why he stayed in Xianyang for so long. Otherwise, since there was no war in Qin, he should have returned to his fiefdom and built Handan City first.
He regained his former self. Ying Zheng specially hosted a banquet for him. Li Mu was also moved by this. He didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he was even more grateful for Ying Zheng's trust.
At this time, it was already the tenth year of King Qin. Rong Di used thousands of fine war horses to exchange the captive soldiers of Rong Di. On the surface, this exchange between Rong Di and Qin seemed to be a happy one, but only Ying Zheng
Only then did he realize how much advantage he had taken. The good horses presented by the tribes of Rongdi were at least about seven feet tall, and three hundred of them were mares. These horses were not only of excellent blood, but also all fat.
Fat and strong, with just a thousand of them, even if the Rong and Di tribes gathered together, it would be extremely painful. In comparison, Ying Zheng felt that some Rong and Di soldiers who had been beaten by Li Mu in exchange for these
Even if you have money, you can't buy a good horse. It can be said to be an extremely cost-effective deal. In addition, these days, it feels very good to hold power for the first time and hold the power of life and death in your hands. Even if Ying Zheng is in a good mood,
Although he is reserved, he can't help but smile from time to time.
The Rongdi people regard horses as the basis for their survival, and they are as precious as eyeballs. If they have to exchange for the lives of these soldiers, it is impossible to come up with thousands of them at once, and all of them are more than seven feet tall.
Judging by modern calculations, these horses are all 1.76 meters tall. We also know what method Li Si used to persuade the Rongdi people. Ying Zheng didn't ask, but he could
To accomplish this, and to do it so beautifully, is a testament to his ability.
Ying Zheng is already twenty-three years old. Due to the deaths of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, almost all the affairs of the Qin State are in his hands. Although he may not be able to do things as he pleases, it is only a matter of time. The Qin State will be firmly under control.
In his own hands, Ying Zheng, who had been here for twenty-three years during the Warring States Period, was truly relieved!
He was born in these troubled times, and he has been on tenterhooks from the beginning. If he hadn't seen the opportunity early several times, adapted to the situation, and endured it all the way after returning to Qin, he successively eliminated Xia Ji and others, and used Lao Ai to disintegrate the Lu family's influence.
, I'm afraid if he was careless, the grass on his grave would have grown as tall as a man at this time. Without the threat of the Lu family, the eager eyes of all forces, and without the fingers of Zhao Ji and the Lu family from the side.
With his feet and fingers moving, Ying Zheng could really appreciate the intoxicating feeling of a king holding the power of the world and the power of all living beings. No wonder the Lu family was so reluctant to let go of this power.
But precisely because this power was hard-won, Ying Zheng became even more vigilant. He also used canonization to eliminate some of the remaining forces of the Lu family, and raised Li Si and others to several levels. Without leaving a trace, Lu Buwei's previous forces were almost eliminated.
With the roots uprooted and the death of the leader, the power of the Lu family was now at an end. Many courtiers in the Qin State knew clearly that the king had ruled out dissidents and appointed close associates, but they all dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
In the past, there were few ministers of the Qin State who were not bribed by Lu or Lao Ai. Now that both of them are dead, these people will naturally not be able to make trouble again. Lu's era is finally over!
Just when Ying Zheng took control of the government and stabilized the situation, Zheng Guo, who was originally building the Zheng Guo Canal in the Qin State, was exposed. Some people claimed that this person was a spy sent by South Korea! This topic came out as soon as he said it
, everyone couldn't help but think of Lu Buwei's words about expelling people from other countries a few days ago. Now that the Lu family is dead, but because of the Zhengguo incident, there are still some people who are unwilling to lose power and bring up the old talk again.
It was stabbed in the Lanchi Palace. When Ying Zheng heard about this, he couldn't help but lament the inevitability of history. He originally thought that he had suppressed the issue of expelling diners from all over the world. Since Lu Buwei died again, no one would bring it up again. Who would
It was expected that at this turning point, what was supposed to happen happened.
Ying Zheng knew very well whether Zheng Guo was a Jian, not to mention that the Zheng Guo Canal was mostly completed at this time. Many people in the Qin State also enjoyed the huge benefits brought by this canal.
It is obvious that the people behind the situation are being used by others. Ying Zheng immediately summoned Li Si, Wei Zhe and others to discuss countermeasures. When people came to use them, Fang hated Shao. He originally thought that he had received a lot of power from the Lu family, but only then did Ying Zheng find out.
He still lacks a lot of talents under his command, and he already knows everything about Zheng Guo. When he met with Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo once said this personally. He also knew in his heart that although Zheng Guo's construction of the canal was a strategy of the King of Han, this was not the case.
The plan is obviously beneficial to the Qin State. The method he used at the beginning was not to waste the people and money, but to use labor instead of labor, or to use taxes instead of labor. If the guilty person is willing to do something, he will naturally be released. If the ordinary common people are willing to do something,
Therefore, the Qin State was extremely happy with his order. Over the years, most of the canal was completed without spending a single coin from the treasury. It was expected that it would be completed in a few years. From then on, the Qin State enjoyed
Tens of millions of years of benefits, but at this moment, someone couldn't help but jump out!
A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes. Zheng Guo was an unparalleled genius in water conservancy. If the Zheng Guo Canal was built, it would benefit thousands of people for thousands of years. However, some people dared to do something about it.
Disturbance. The construction of Zheng Guo Canal was the first time he actually issued an order. The people behind it intended to make things difficult for Zheng Guo, but in fact they wanted to slap him in the face!
Li Si saw Ying Zheng's cold face and trembled. He didn't even dare to say anything. He quickly looked at the old man Wei Che beside him. Wei Zhe looked up at the sky, pretending not to see Li Si.
, Wang Jian and others are military generals. Naturally, they cannot make suggestions on this matter, and they should not speak. The reason why they were called here is because Yingzheng is used to calling people over for discussion when something happens. Li Si saw that he was
He was actually isolated and helpless, with no one to talk to him. He couldn't help cursing in his heart. He was extremely slippery, but he couldn't get any advantage in front of Ying Zheng, Wei Zhe and others. Ying Zheng was just fine. He was the king and he was superior.
It was natural for him to follow him, but this old Wei leader was as slippery as a loach and could not get his hands on him at all. He despised Wei Che in his heart for a while, and then he said bravely: "If your Majesty has an order, just give it, my lord.
I am willing to share your worries for the king!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ying Zheng's eyes turned over fiercely, and his eyelids twitched twice. He suppressed the trembling of his legs, straightened his back even more, and looked like he was loyal. Ying Zheng
Seeing him as if facing a formidable enemy, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Li Qing is so smart, how can he know what Zheng is thinking at this moment?" He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his tone was always cold. Li Si's heart trembled, who was the king thinking?
Do you dare to guess randomly? I'm afraid that if you keep guessing, not only will you fail to guess, but you will also lose your life. He thought about it but couldn't come up with a perfect answer. Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't mean to ask him to answer. Although this matter seemed
It was difficult, but if he stepped forward forcefully to suppress the matter, it would not be difficult. Wei Zhe was like a mirror in his heart, but it was difficult for anyone to persuade Ying Zheng to endure this tone, so he pretended to be deaf.
Dumb, let yourself speak.
The affairs of the State of Zheng were obviously something that was secretly carried out by the people of the Six Kingdoms. Once the Canal of the State of Zheng was built, the Qin State could imagine that its agriculture would be even more developed. A rich country would make its people strong. If the people were strong, its military would naturally be stronger. Now there is no one in the country who is not afraid of the Qin State.
Yes, if he is allowed to become stronger, everyone is obviously just waiting to die. But Ying Zheng is clear about the situation at this time. With Qin's military strength, it will definitely be effortless to attack any country, but if it is Wei, Chu and other countries
Let's work together to fight against the Qin State. At this time, the Qin State has just eradicated the Lu family, Ying Zheng has just come to power, and the people's hearts are still a little unstable, but they are definitely no match for the Six Kingdoms.
Because of this, even though Ying Zheng knew that someone was behind Zheng Guo's affairs, he was just furious, but did not say how to solve it for a while. Li Si was also a cunning person, knowing Ying Zheng's intention, but deliberately showing his loyalty
, but did not mention a word about how to solve the Zheng Guoqu matter, which made Ying Zheng glare at him again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the king lost his temper in such an upright manner. With Ying Zheng's character, Meng Ao and others also knew that he regarded himself and others as his confidants, and generally would not hide his thoughts in front of everyone. If he got angry, it would prove that
This matter is nothing more than loud thunder and light rain. If he still endures it, he will seem to be in a better mood and smile more gently, but in fact it proves that he is extremely angry in his heart. Seeing that his face is cold and his tone is bad, Wei
Zhe knew that Ying Zheng had already figured it out, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked aside at Li Si, who had a pale face, beads of sweat on his forehead, and an expression as if he was surviving a disaster. He quickly stepped forward and spoke righteously: "
Your Majesty, in my opinion, Li Tingwei is right about this matter. Why don't you put up with this bad breath for the time being?" Li Si exposed that Lu Buwei had been promoted to the first rank of the nobility, was granted the title of Tingwei, and was temporarily in charge of prison and other matters.
As soon as he said this, Li Si ignored his elders and glared at him angrily! When had he told Ying Zheng to take a breath first? The king was young and energetic, and he was not heartless, so how could he say this?
What are you talking about? Wei Zhe, an old man who seems to be a good man, is actually very bad. He slapped a dirty bowl on himself without saying a word. Such an act of openly and justly framed him, yet he didn't even blush or breathe. It's really shameful.
Li Si was resigned to this.
Old God Wei Zhe was there and turned a blind eye to Li Si's dissatisfied look. Instead, he gave him a comforting look. The two small actions in private made the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curl up, but he didn't say anything to express it. He only listened to Wei Che's words again.
Then he said: "In matters here, justice is the rule of the people. Even if there are dirty villains behind the scenes who are spreading rumors and causing trouble, the king is now at the time to establish his power. He might as well kill a few people with ulterior motives to convince others!" Wei Zhe said.
I really hate the person behind this. He is not very proficient in water conservancy and specializes in water conservancy, but he sees the benefits of the canal built by Zheng Guo. At least in the past few years, he has enjoyed the benefits of Zheng Guo's canal.
, Needless to say, it is convenient to get water and drink, and farming crops is many times more efficient than before, and the harvest will naturally increase. This is a good way to benefit the country and the people, but there is a villain behind it who refuses to stop!
Speaking of this, Wei Che's tone brought out a bit of murderous intent! Everyone shuddered in excitement. Seeing the normally compassionate Wei Che showing murderous intent, the seriousness and integrity on his usually face suddenly seemed to be sharpened.
Then the sharp sword gave off a bit of cold air, as if he had always looked away, but he had looked at the wrong person! A slight smile appeared at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, his eyes were bright, and there was approval in his eyes. He and
Wei Zhe's ideas are very different. Although Qin is in his hands now, Lu Buwei has accumulated power for a long time. Even though he has committed suicide in fear of crime, there are still old troops loyal to him in Qin. They are probably still nostalgic for the glory of the past when Lu was in power.
, deliberately wanted to cause unhappiness for him, if Ying Zheng wanted to control the overall situation as quickly as possible, the only feasible way was to use thunderous means to shock everyone and kill the chicken to show the dogs. He was worried that he could not find a way, but someone
The handle was given to him. If he didn't make good use of it, how could he deserve the kindness of the person who was plotting behind his back this time?
Now that the words have been spoken, there is nothing that everyone present does not understand. Even Li Si secretly cursed himself for being stupid. Jiang is still too old. Such a good opportunity was dismissed by Wei Zhe.
Yes, he just took the risk but didn't get any benefits. He became more wary of the old man Wei Zhe. After discussing for a while, everyone was about to disperse. Meng Ao hesitated and paused for a moment before turning back.
He said: "Your Majesty, there are several generals under my command who want to ask your Majesty for a good horse, but I don't know..." Meng Ao was a little embarrassed when he said this. In fact, he himself was also greedy for these horses.
Quite obviously, as a soldier, his only biggest hobby is horses, armor or weapons. They are all life-saving things. As a general, he has become attached to these things and will accompany them almost for a lifetime. If you choose a good one, you will naturally benefit from it.
Infinite, Meng Ao is also a good horse, so he spoke with some hesitation. If his subordinates can mount these horses, it will be enough to build a cavalry team. He is confident that even if he conquers the world in the future, he will never do it.
Buried these horses!
Wang Jian twitched the corner of his mouth and saw that Meng Ao was deliberately acting uneasy. It was not the first time that the two of them had met. He didn't know what he was thinking. But this time, even he looked at the horses that were exchanged from Rong Di with envy.
, the king promised him that he could form a team of soldiers loyal to him. Wang Jian also wanted to contribute to Yingzheng in the future, so naturally he set his sights on the horses this time, but he has always been used to pretending to be honest and honest, and
Seeing that Meng Ao looked reckless on the outside, but in fact he was very thoughtful. He said this deliberately, and people could see that he meant it. Even if the king knew that he meant it, he would not argue with him! Wang Jian's eyes flashed.
He turned around and immediately looked disappointed, staring at Meng Ao.
Ying Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and did not agree immediately. He thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Natural selection leaves three hundred good horses to be rewarded to those who have made great achievements. The rest of the horses will naturally be obtained by those who are capable!"
The meaning is very obvious. Only capable people can own good horses. From the perspective of soldiers, those who are capable are the ones who worship the strong. People who have no ability are naturally not worthy of owning these good horses. It is very fair.
Ying Zheng's answer couldn't be more satisfying. Meng Ao and Meng Ao were refreshed and clasped their fists. They were both satisfied with the result and said nothing. Wei Zhe, on the other hand, hesitated: "Your Majesty, these horses are really rare. Can we
Keep some for breeding purposes?" War horses are so rare. If Rong Di hadn't taken advantage of Rong Di's capture this time and took the opportunity to knock Rong Di off, I'm afraid it would be really difficult to get these thousand good horses over seven feet tall.
Got it.
The excitement of Meng Ao and others suddenly stagnated before they thought of this continuation problem. Even though they were itching for these good horses for a while, Wang Jian and Wang Jian both knew that if they only wanted to be quick and the breeding of these horses would be stopped,
, it will be detrimental to Qin in the future, so he raised his head and stared at Ying Zheng again.
Ying Zheng knew that Wei Che was worried, but he had his own plan, so he smiled and shook his head: "Zheng knew well. If Rong Di can hand over the horse matter once, he can naturally hand it over a second time, not to mention Qin Guobei
Facing the Huns, the barbarians lack everything except war horses!" Wei Zhe saw that he was full of confidence, but he knew in his heart that the Huns were cruel and ruthless. Due to their geographical location close to the Qin State, they would always send troops every year.
When sao harassed Qin's border defenses, they had to snatch some women and children back every time, not to mention some food. When the Qin people mentioned the Xiongnu, they gnashed their teeth with hatred. These people regarded the horses as if they were alive.
Important, I’m afraid it’s impossible to impress these people with easy food!
Wei Zhe wanted to give some words to persuade him, but he thought that Ying Zheng was not a really impulsive person. Thinking about it, he could say this, so he naturally had something to rely on. This king was always cautious in his actions and calculated accurately.
, If I were not confident in my heart, I would never say such nonsense, so the hesitation in my heart disappeared in a few moments, and a look of relief appeared on his face: "The king has his own groove in his heart, and I don't say much.
If this is the case, our great Qin will sweep the world and it will be just around the corner."
