Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 57
In the end, Xiang Shaolong suggested that it should be carried out step by step, and the reform should be carried out in positions that have little relationship with Lu Buwei first, so as not to affect Lu Buwei's interests.

After some bargaining with Lu Buwei, Guan Zhongxie was named captain, only one step away from the general, officially entered the ranks of officers, and Meng Ao took orders in front of the tent.Li Si was appointed as Ting Wei, in charge of judicial trials across the country, equivalent to the president of the Supreme Court.And Xiang Shaolong began to personally perform the duties of the Left Prime Minister, and went to court to participate in and discuss state affairs every day, and he was no longer leisurely as before.

240 BC was an eventful year. Not long after the death of King Zhuang Xiang, General Meng Ao died of illness.

At this time in the Qin Army, Xiang Shaolong's position is supernatural, and he is gradually turning to civil service, Duke Mo is getting old, Xu Xian and Du Bi can be called the big bosses, but Wang Jian is the one who came after him, and he is likely to take over Meng Ao's scepter With a posture, he became the Optimus Prime in the army and shocked the nations.Like Huanjuan and Yang Duanhe, they are upstarts in the army, closely following the prince, and will also be the pillars of the Qin army in the future.

The old generals are withdrawing from the stage of history, Du Bi's voice in the army has greatly increased, and the rumors that the prince is Lu Buwei's illegitimate son have never stopped.

Xu Xian kept silent on the rumors, Du Bi became more and more rampant, colluded with wealthy businessman Pu Hu, and Qiu Risheng, the owner of Xianyang Samurai Hotel, and his power rose sharply.

The others didn't express their thoughts on the rumors, but Chu Jun became more and more impatient, so he asked Xiang Shaolong to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, Xiang Shaolong is not worried about Cheng Jiao's ability to succeed, and he has not succeeded in history, no matter from which aspect, he has no chance, far less than Lu Buwei's threat.However, the prince is extremely sensitive to his own background, and he always draws his sword to face each other if he disagrees with him.

Xiang Shaolong persuaded: "Chujun, in fact, you don't have to care about Chengjiao. The only one who is really powerful in the court is Du Bi who is helping him. Although Pu Hu is rich, he is still a businessman. In two more years, the prince They will be able to take charge of the government, and they will not be able to make any waves at all, stability is the most important thing now."

The Crown Prince said with a sullen face, "The three east counties are close to the state of Zhao, and the people's hearts are unstable. They use the three east counties as a base to expand their power and collude with Zhao general Pang Nuan. Sooner or later, it will be a big disaster."

Xiang Shaolong glanced at Chu Jun in surprise, he didn't expect Chu Jun to know them so well, it seems that Chu Jun had long wanted to get rid of them, and had already placed eyeliner around them.

When it comes to intrigue and political struggle, Xiang Shaolong is really not good at it, far inferior to Lu Buwei, Du Bi and others, let alone the future Shi Huangdi.

Xiang Shaolong asked: "What does Chu Jun want to do?"

The Crown Prince said: "Force them to rebel as soon as possible, and destroy them directly."

Xiang Shaolong looked at the ruthless look on Chu Jun's face, and knew that the Chu Jun had made up his mind and wanted to get it done once and for all, even if there was a loss.

Xiang Shaolong could only choose to support, and said: "Then force them to lead the army to attack Zhao, and we will lead the army to follow, and if there is any abnormality, we will kill it immediately."

The Crown Prince waved his hand and said: "If there is any change, we will destroy them, and report them for rebellion when we come back."

Xiang Shaolong was startled, and sighed secretly: "I am far behind, whether I become a jiao or not, I will die."

This decree was issued very smoothly, and Zhu Ji was also obsessed with the rumors, and agreed with the prince's strategy very much.

Puhu recruited soldiers and horses in Tunliu to build weapons. Cheng Jiao was only 17 years old, and Du Bi took him to Tunliu and rebelled immediately.

It's a pity that Xiang Shaolong's [-] troops arrived shortly thereafter, without giving them a chance to breathe, and put down this rebellion with a crushing momentum.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Jiao fled to Zhao country without hesitation at all.Du Bi and Puhu were defeated and killed, Cheng Jiao's subordinates were all killed, and the people who stayed in the village were exiled to Lintao. ("Historical Records of Qin Shihuang Benji" records: General Bi died, and the soldiers left Puji to rebel. He died and killed his corpse. "Bi" refers to the general who crusaded Chengjiao, and "Puji" refers to the soldiers left in the village. Du Bihe Puhu is a character in the original work.)
After Cheng Jiao surrendered to Zhao, he was granted Rao by King Zhao.The Crown Prince was furious and wanted to send troops to attack Zhao.

Xiang Shaolong persuaded him, and said: "Li Mu is still there, and the loss of cutting Zhao at this time is too great. If Cheng Jiao stays in Zhao, we have a reason to send troops at any time. Li Mu will be killed in Zhao sooner or later. Just use Cheng Jiao as an excuse to destroy Zhao Guo in one fell swoop."

The Crown Prince finally followed Xiang Shaolong's advice.Once Cheng Jiao left, there was no one who could compete with the Crown Prince for the throne, which made the Crown Prince heave a sigh of relief.

Relying on his love for Zhu Ji, Lu Buwei constantly demanded power from the Queen Mother.Although Zhu Ji was warned by King Zhuang Xiang that she could not fully trust Lu Buwei, she still inevitably gave Lu Buwei a lot of support.

Zhu Ji was dissolute by nature and couldn't bear the loneliness in the palace, so she wanted to rekindle her old relationship with Lu Buwei.But Lu Buwei is old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to satisfy the Queen Mother's desire, and secondly, he is afraid that the prince will find out, and he dare not mess up the harem.

Can't help sighing: "It would be great if Lao Ai hadn't been eunuched by Xiang Shaolong, this is the place where she can use her skills."

Fortunately, there are a lot of men in the world. Without Lao Ai, I just need to find another man.

Lu Buwei finally gave the queen mother a fake eunuch so that he could escape.

Zhu Ji was also worried that the prince had grown up, and was afraid of being discovered by the prince, so she took her face to Yongdu, far away from Xianyang, and lived her own life.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the news about the queen mother raising a handsome boy still spread.But Chu Jun didn't mention or complain about this to anyone this time, including Xiang Shaolong, as if he didn't know.

And Zhu Ji was afraid that the prince would make trouble for her, so she agreed smoothly to the decrees proposed by the prince.

Lu Buwei spread his "Lu Shi Chunqiu" all over the world by means of printing, which made him famous for a while, and he looked like the No. 1 in Qin State, but he didn't know that this made the prince hate him even more.

Xiang Shaolong sits in Xianyang, is diligent in political affairs, and at the same time holds the military power tightly to protect the prince.

Time has quietly come to 238 BC, which is the year when the Crown Prince is preparing to take charge of the government.

Before the crown prince could be in charge, it was first reported that the king of Chu died of illness and was given the posthumous title of King Kaolie.On the way to the funeral, Mr. Chunshen was killed by Li Yuan and his whole family.Li Yuan's sister's child was established as the new king of Chu.

Zhao Mu was the first to react. Once Jun Shenjun died, no one could control Zhao Mu anymore.

Zhao Mu has been thinking about Xiang Shaolong's suggestion to replace King Zhao all these years, but because he is concerned about Chunshen Lord Huang Xie's control over him, even though Zhao Guoquan is in power, he has never dared to act rashly.Now that Jun Shen is gone, he can no longer suppress his ambition.

Zhao Mu and Xiang Shaolong had discussed this issue a long time ago, even as long as Li Mu was around, it would be very difficult for him to usurp the throne, so he enticed Guo Kai to slander Zhao Wangjin, accusing Li Mu of treason.

Zhao Wang wanted to recruit women into the palace, but was strongly opposed by Li Mu, but with the support of Zhao Mu and Guo Kai, he was established as queen, who was later the queen of Zhao Mourning.

Queen Zhao is a very powerful woman. She conspired to design Prince Jia, the former queen's son, so that King Zhao deposed him and made her son the crown prince.She has always hated Li Mu.

Under the attack from inside and outside, King Zhao believed Li Mu's rebellion and killed Li Mu.

As soon as Li Mu died, Zhao Mu immediately launched a coup, killed King Zhao, and made himself king.

It's a pity that Zhao Mu overestimated his own dominance.The clan general Zhao Cong, the great general Sima Shang, and the Qi general Yan gathered together to serve the king.

Pang Nuan was old and unable to participate in the chaos, so Zhao Mu sent Le Cheng and Hu Zhe to quell the chaos.

Zhao Guo became a mess.Yan Wangxi was dizzy again, and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he sent veteran Ju Xin to attack Zhao.

Zhao Mu was under the enemy's back, he didn't know what he was thinking, he actually asked Xiang Shaolong for help, did he think he had a friendship with Xiang Shaolong?Perhaps it was because Xiang Shaolong felt that it was better to fall into the hands of Zhao Cong or Yan Wangxi, even if it lured wolves into the house, he would not hesitate to do so.

Hearing Xiang Shaolong's report, the Crown Prince asked Xiang Shaolong for advice.

Xiang Shaolong said: "The crown prince will be in charge soon. The most important thing right now is the crown prince's coronation ceremony. You can prepare for battle. After the crowning ceremony, you will be in control and there will be no constraints. When the time comes, you will swear to the Northern Expedition, and the overall situation will be determined."

The Crown Prince was overjoyed. After the Northern Expedition took office, the credit for the destruction of the country would be completely on his own head, and he said, "Okay, let's hold the most grand military parade again, so that all countries can see the military might of our Great Qin. It also keeps them from acting rashly.”

Ever since watching the military parade of the Red Detachment of Women, the Crown Prince has always wanted to hold a military parade for the entire army, and he has long been planning the military parade when he is in power.

On the eve of taking office, the crown prince recalled Wang Jian, and Xiang Shaolong followed closely, leading an army to the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng for the coronation.

Chu Jun finally became the real King of Qin.A grand military parade made the envoys from all over the world shudder.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan witnessed the strength of the Qin army, and secretly scolded King Yan for being confused. At this time, he should join forces to fight against Qin. Yan and Zhao have been fighting continuously for many years, and internal friction will only benefit Qin.He hurriedly wrote to Yan Wangxi, expressing the need to strike and unite.

The first thing Qin Wangzheng did after taking office was not to send troops, but to secretly execute the face of the queen mother and imprison the queen mother in Yongcheng.

From the appearance of the empress dowager to the death, Qin Wangzheng never mentioned it to anyone, as if he had never appeared.

In history, the ending of Lai Ai is doomed. No matter whether he is rebellious or not, not everyone can be Qin Shihuang's stepfather.And even if this face only wants to live a stable life and doesn't want power, he is still a death penalty.

The war is not something that can be stopped just by saying that it stops. Before Yan Wangxi received the letter from Prince Dan, the Qin army had already set off.

This time Xiang Shaolong did not go to the expedition, he was stationed in Xianyang, not only to control the overall situation, but also to prevent changes in Xianyang.

The commander-in-chief was Wang Jian, and the vanguard was led by Huanjuan and Yang Duanhe. The young generals Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi went out with the army.

Xiang Shaolong took over the mobile unit led by Huan Jue to defend King Qin.

As soon as the Qin army entered Zhao territory, they first got into fire with the troops of Zhao Cong and Sima Shang.

Yan Wangxi learned that Qin sent troops, and received advice from Prince Dan, so he made a decisive decision and immediately withdrew the troops.

Zhao Mu lost the Yan State's attack, and immediately returned to the army to attack Zhao Cong with the Qin army.
