Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 197
Xianyang Palace.

The eunuch Xiao Ding hurried in from outside.

Qin Wangzheng put down the letter in his hand, and asked strangely: "Why is it in such a hurry?"

Xiao Ding moved to Qin Wangzheng's side, and whispered: "The Empress Dowager called Taibu into the palace today, saying that she has been restless recently, and ordered Taibu to calculate whether there is something wrong with the Feng Shui in the palace."

Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows: "Since that Lai Ai entered the palace, hasn't she become much more stable, why did she come up with something else?"

Xiao Ding said: "The Empress Dowager is too fond of that Lai Ai, is it wrong to continue like this?"

Qin Wangzheng sighed suddenly: "Forget it, she is my mother after all, as long as my father passed away so early, as long as they didn't go too far, it's fine. Tell those people in the palace to shut up and stop spreading gossip. I don’t want to hear people outside the palace talking about the Queen Mother.”

Xiao Ding hurried out to do errands again.

After a while, Xiao Ding hurried back again.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is going to live in the Li Palace in Yong County."

"What did Tai Bu say?"

"Tai Bu said there is no problem with Feng Shui in the palace, but the Empress Dowager still feels restless and wants to move to the Li Palace in Yong County."

Qin Wangzheng pondered for a while and shook his head: "Tell Xiang Lu about this matter and let him decide. He got that Lai Ai into the palace. I really want to see his expression when he hears about it."

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and Lai Ai moved to Li Palace in Yong County smoothly.Their journey to death has just begun.

Ying Zheng thought about one thing wrong, Lu Buwei wanted Zhao Ji and Lao Ai to leave Xianyang far away.

Soon after, at the urging of Lai Ai, Zhao Ji wrote to ask for a seal for Lai Ai.

Lu Buwei directly approved, and granted Lao Ai a long letter, and made Shanyang, Taiyuan and other places his residence.

Zhao Ji loved and trusted Lai Ai to the extreme, and left all the big and small affairs of Li Palace to Lai Ai to be the master.Lai Ai monopolized power and changed the name of Taiyuan County in Hexi to "Lao Ai Country".

Lai Ai has been operating in Yong County for many years, established a huge force, and gradually became a powerful political force in Qin State, second only to Lu Buwei.

The incident in Yong County reached Yingzheng's ears, but he kept it secret and pretended not to know in front of everyone.It's just that he was depressed, so he often visited Lin Xiaoxiao's Kunlun.Hu Zigui had already lived in Kunlun Temple, so he discussed state affairs with Yingzheng there.

Under the locust tree in Kunlun, Huzigui and Yingzheng are playing chess.

"Lu Buwei's "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" has been completed."

"I've read it, and it's okay to write."

"Lu Buwei ordered someone to write it on a piece of cloth and hang it on the city gate of Xianyang. He also gave a reward of one thousand catties. If someone can add or delete a word, he will get a thousand gold."

"Sir, do you want the thousand gold?"

"I tried, but I can't do it. "Balan, Liulun, and Twelve Ji" are indeed a masterpiece."

"Most of the celebrities who defected to Qin are concentrated under his tent. If they can't produce a good book together, I, Da Qin, will not talk about unifying the world."

Lin Xiaoxiao walked over with a fruit plate.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Lu Buwei's "Lu Shi Chun Qiu"."

"Oh, a word is worth a fortune."

"Everyone in the world has prejudices. No matter how well this "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" is written, people still can't forget that he is a businessman, and the upper gentry will still not accept the Lu family."

""Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" combines the theories of various schools and schools. It is worth reading. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing new, but it is interesting to read it carefully."

"What is Shannv's opinion?"

"It's not a high opinion, just a little opinion. Lu Buwei was a prime minister in Qin, and a businessman when he came out of Qin. All his glory is due to Qin.

This "Lushi Chunqiu" was not written by him, but was written by many celebrities under his auspices.How can such a book be perfected by his Lu family?Moreover, most of the content in the book is a synthesis of other schools of thought, which is beyond words. "

"What does Shannv mean?"

"I think the name "Lushi Chunqiu" is not suitable for this book, and it should be renamed."

"What do Shannu think it should be called?"

"Qin will eventually unify the world, why not call it "Great Qin Preview"."

"Great Qin preview."

Lin Xiaoxiao winked at Ying Zheng: "Xiao Zheng went to tell Lu Buwei, isn't he Zhong's father, and asked him to give you this book as a gift to wish you unification of the world in the future."

Ying Zheng looked hesitant.

Lin Xiaoxiao patted his forehead: "Xiaozheng, don't be used by them all the time, you have to learn to use them. A king doesn't have to do everything himself, as long as he learns to let his ministers and workers develop their own skills. Ability."

I have to admit that Lu Buwei is very good at making money, knows how to win people's hearts, and even more how to build momentum.If Qin Shihuang unified the world with Lu Buwei behind him to help win people's hearts, Shihuang's reputation would not be as bad as it was later.

"Xiaozheng," Lin Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the cat that can catch mice is a good cat. A king should stand on a higher ground and look down on his subjects. Lu Buwei is in the business of managing contacts and He is indeed capable of building momentum, you might as well use him to build momentum for you and Qin."

After what Lin Xiaoxiao said, Ying Zheng had an idea in his mind.A few days later, he found an opportunity to have a talk with Lu Buwei.

Lu Buweixiu's "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" is to increase the popularity of himself and the Lu family.Now that Ying Zheng is going to cut off his husband, he must not be so happy.But Yingzheng talked about his second father, and Lu Buwei couldn't refuse.

A few days later, Lu Buwei hosted a banquet for tourists from all over the world.During the banquet, he confided to everyone the original intention of compiling "Lu Shi Chun Qiu", and said that he would dedicate " Lu Shi Chun Qiu" to the King of Qin.

The next day, King Qin received "Lu Shi Chunqiu" from Lu Buwei. On the spot, Long Yan was overjoyed and changed the name to "Da Qin Preview" with a wave of his hand.

Therefore, there is no "Lu Shi Chunqiu" in this world, only "Da Qin Preview".

Qin Wangzheng was eight years old, and Yingzheng was 20 years old.

Zhao Guo invaded the border of Qin State, and General Meng Ao was trapped in Yaoshan.

Lu Buwei discussed with his ministers to send Chang'an Jun Chengxu and Fan Yuqi to attack Zhao.Fan Yuqi was at odds with Lu Buwei and deliberately slandered Lord Chang'an.

"Qin Wangzheng is not the former king's own son. The Lu family is trying to steal the Qin state. Now Meng Ao's army is trapped, and the Qin state has no time to come to help. The only son of the late king is Chang'an Lord. I am willing to follow Chang'an Lord to oppose Qin Wangzheng and the Lu family. .”

What Fan Yuqi said hit Cheng Xi's heart, and the two hit it off immediately.

So Fan Yuqi drafted a call to action and spread it around.

Most of the local officials and gentry in the state of Qin had heard that Zhao Ji was originally a concubine of Lu Buwei and was given to King Zhuang Xiang. When they saw the suspicion that Zhao Ji was pregnant at the wrong time in the letter, they felt that the matter might be true.It's just that those people were afraid of Lu Buwei and didn't take action but just waited and watched.

Zhang Tang, the war supervisor, knew that Lord Chang'an was rebelling against Qin, so he rushed back to Xianyang Xingye and brought back a letter of appeal.

Ying Zheng was very angry after reading the call to action.Fortunately, he was not dizzy, so he immediately summoned Lu Buwei.

After some discussion, Lu Buwei agreed to send general Wang Jian to lead [-] troops to attack Chang'an Jun Chengyu.At the same time, Lu Buwei also blocked the news of Xianyang City to prevent the spread of the call to action in the city.

That night, Lin Xiaoxiao was playing chess with Hu Zigui in the courtyard under the moonlight, when Ying Zheng broke in suddenly.

Huzi Gui wondered, "Why did your Majesty come here so late?"

Ying Zheng said, "Sir, I have something I want to talk to Shan Nu alone."

Hu Zigui looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who nodded to him.

Beard back.Only Lin Xiaoxiao and Ying Zheng were left under the tree.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked Ying Zheng to sit down, and took out a plate of pastries and goat's milk from the warehouse.

Seeing Ying Zheng's hesitant expression, Lin Xiaoxiao poured him a cup of goat's milk and stuffed it into his hand, then asked, "What happened?"

Ying Zheng took a sip of goat's milk, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth, and he suddenly felt hungry.He was so angry today that he couldn't even eat dinner.I really want to eat right now.

Therefore, Ying Zheng took another piece of pastry and ate it, and then said: "Shannv, Chang'an Jun Cheng has turned his back."

"Oh." Lin Xiaoxiao responded lightly, and took a sip of the goat's milk.

Yingzheng was a little annoyed: "Why is Shannv's reaction so flat? Isn't it good enough for me to treat Chengyu? Every time Lu Buwei troubles him, I always stand by Chengyu's side, but now he has turned against me."

"You said that Lu Buwei was always making trouble for him. His rebellion against Qin must not be because of you, but because of Lu Buwei."

"Yes..." Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, took out a call to action from his arms and threw it on the chessboard.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared, but didn't go to take the petition.

Ying Zheng was immediately discouraged, picked up the call to action again, and handed both hands to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao took the call to action with both hands, and began to read it.

Good guy.This rumor actually started to spread from here.Hey, Ying Zheng really has a lot to bear.

Lin Xiaoxiao folded the call to action and put it on the chessboard.

"Is that why you're angry?"

Ying Zheng hummed, still looking angry.

"They betrayed the Qin State, and they always have to find a reason. It's not this, it will be something else."

"But."

"Do you want to ask me if what I said in the proclamation is true?"

"The mountain girl knows?"

"I am a girl from Kunlun Mountains. I know the world, the past and the future."

"That?"

"There is nothing that cannot be said. Your biological father's surname is Ying Ming, and so is King Qin Zhuangxiang."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaozheng, there is no problem with your origin, the problem is whether your heart has been shaken by them."

"I"

"You are Qin Wang Yingzheng, you were born to unify the world, and you lived for the peace of the people. Your parents, brothers, sisters and children, they have not shouldered your responsibilities."

"Mountain girl, me."

"Whether it's Cheng Yu or Fan Yuqi, no matter what those people say, the purpose is to shake your heart. Maybe someone will betray you in the future, you have to make your heart stronger. You have to stand taller than them Go higher and look farther.

A hundred years later, who will care about your parents and brothers.In the history books, you are the one who leaves your name.They are just a sentence that you have passed along in your life journey.

The absurd things they do will cause them to be spurned and ridiculed by people, which will further highlight the difference between you and them.You are you and they are them.The first emperor who wants to unify the world is you, not them. "

Ying Zheng's expression froze: "The mountain girl knows her mother"

"I know. She is your mother, but she is also a woman. She is not a competent mother, she is just a woman. You can be angry with her, be cruel to her, and punish her. But don't forget, you are King Qin. You are an example for the people of the world, and an example for the emperors through the ages."

Ying Zheng was meditating while eating the pastry.After a long time, it seemed that he had figured it out.

"I understand. As King Qin, I will be a filial and good son. Use her badness to set off my goodness. The more she is sorry for me, the better I will be to her. Confess her and hold her high Yes. Let her suffer inwardly and repent of her mistakes forever."

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and couldn't help laughing.

Ying Zheng finally changed from tyrannical to black-bellied.

A tyrannical emperor will bring misfortune to the people.A black-bellied emperor will bring pressure to the ministers.As a qualified emperor, it is better to choose a black belly.

The next day, Ying Zheng personally wrote an edict of guilt.

In the Edict of Guilt, Yingzheng didn't mention Fan Yuqi's proclamation at all, but recounted the deep brotherly love between him and Lord Chang'an.He bluntly said that he did not fulfill his elder brother's responsibilities, and he didn't even know that his younger brother was wronged.Ying Zheng said that Lord Chang'an had grievances, so he could go home and tell him that he would severely punish those who bullied Lord Chang'an.As for Fan Yuqi, Yingzheng didn't mention a word.

Ying Zheng ordered Wang Jian to show this edict of guilt to Lord Chang'an for review, and at the same time ordered Wang Jian to privately send a sentence to Lord Chang'an: "As long as Lord Chang'an kills Fan Yuqi, I will ignore Lord Chang'an's fault this time."

Half a month later, the good news came.Lord Chang'an beheaded Fan Yuqi and bound himself in front of Wang Jian's formation.

Thus, the rebellion of Lord Chang'an against Qin came to an end.

Afterwards, Lord Chang'an pleaded guilty and asked Ying Zheng to forgive him.Ying Zheng hugged him with a distressed look, and the two brothers just hugged each other and cried.

Mr. Chang'an is exempt from death, but hard to live.After discussing with the ministers, Lu Buwei demoted him to the border, which was tantamount to exile.But Ying Zheng disagreed, and finally changed it to Zhicheng, which is not far from Yongcheng.Yingzheng didn't seize the title of Lord Chang'an, but just asked him to go to Zhuicheng to reflect.

As for who the person who wronged Mr. Chang'an was, Mr. Chang'an didn't say, and Ying Zheng didn't ask either.

In the ninth year of Qin Wangzheng, Yingzheng was about to turn 21, and the court had to negotiate a crowning ceremony for him.

According to the rules, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji should return to Xianyang to attend the coronation ceremony of King Qin Yingzheng.But Zhao Ji refused to come to Xianyang because she was ill.

Ying Zheng expressed his understanding, and said to the ministers: "It's not convenient for the queen mother to go. As a son of man, I will go there in person."

Therefore, after discussion, the ministers decided to change Yingzheng's crowning ceremony to Yongcheng.

Zhao Ji felt very happy when she heard about it, and felt that Ying Zheng's son was very filial.Lai Ai was also very useful after listening to it, and felt that one word of hers could influence Qin Wang's crown ceremony.

Lao Ai became more and more arrogant. When she quarreled with a nobleman while drinking, she even called herself the "false father" of King Qin.The nobleman ran to Xianyang that night, met Ying Zheng through his relationship, and told him about it.

Ying Zheng was very angry, but not that angry.After appeasing the nobles, he wrote a letter to Queen Mother Zhao Ji himself.

In the letter, Ying Zheng greeted Zhao Ji, saying that he had heard some rumors. He said that he didn't believe it at all, and then looked forward to seeing mother and son again.
