Live vlog, the whole family travels to farm for the first emperor

It can be said that the scenery is truly endless.

But, after all, it is the hero who dies.Lord Xinling still died of illness.

Not long after Jiang Anrao and Ying Zheng chatted this time, another major event happened in Zhao State.

Zhao Guolianpo led troops to attack Fanyang of Wei State. However, just after achieving some results, King Zhao Xiaocheng passed away.

King Zhao Xiaocheng's son Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne and was known as King Zhao Daoxiang in history.Zhao Yan didn't know what he was thinking. He dismissed Lian Po's position first, and then sent Le Cheng to take over Lian Po's army, leaving Lian Po to return to Handan empty-handed.

Such an obvious exclusion made Lian Po immediately angry, and he sent troops to attack Lecheng without saying a word.Le Cheng ran away. Lian Po knew that he and Zhao Yan were at odds with each other, so he simply turned around and defected to Wei.

Lian Po was a famous general in the world. In the past, if any famous general switched to another country, he would be treated with high courtesy, and he might even directly become the chief general of that country and directly conquer the world for it.

However, Lian Po did not gain the trust of King Wei in Zhao State. Even when he went to Wei State, he was never reused.

Lian Po must have been very frustrated, so when King Zhao sent someone to find Lian Po and wanted to invite him back to Zhao, he ate a bushel of rice, ten kilograms of meat, and armor in front of the envoy. Get on your horse to show that you can still use it.

However, the envoy had already been bribed by the people who originally wanted to exclude Lian Po. He went back and told King Zhao: Although General Lian Po is old and good at food, he sat with his ministers, and the three things he had done in a short time were gone.

This means that although Lian Po is old, he can still eat well, but he doesn't have much effort and pooped three times.

After hearing the report, King Zhao felt that Lian Po was old and might not be suitable to lead troops in battles anymore, so he did not use Lian Po again.

Lian Po had no chance to return to Zhao, so he left Wei and went to Chu.However, it was the same when he arrived in Chu State, and he never failed to achieve anything.

At this time, some bad voices began to sound within the Qin State.

It has been four years since King Qin took the throne. Starting from the second year, there have been natural disasters for three consecutive years. In the eyes of the ignorant ancients, this was not a good sign. Some people have even begun to say that the current King of Qin has no virtue, so there are Heaven sent down natural disasters to punish the people of Qin.

In fact, anyone who understands a little bit knows that natural disasters happen from time to time in all countries in the world, but the news flows slowly and they don't know about it.But let’s not talk about whether the people believe it or not. Just saying that someone made such a rumor and spread it is not a good idea.

When Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, there was no pro-government. It can be said that many powers were in the hands of the Queen Mother, Lu Buwei and some important ministers who supported Cheng Xi.

Seeing that the day of pro-government is getting closer, it is obvious that such rumors are aimed at Ying Zheng himself.

Lu Buwei naturally mobilized his own power to quell the rumors immediately.

But, how could the people targeting Ying Zheng forget to take care of him?
Therefore, as the rumors that King Qin's government was condemned by heaven became rampant, another person who was criticized was Lu Buwei.

The construction of Zhengguo Canal was originally proposed by the Koreans. It was a major project coordinated and agreed by the Queen Mother, Yangquan Jun, and Lu Buwei, but it was indeed Lu Buwei who took charge of it.Therefore, this rumor was combined with the previous story about Lu Buwei's words, saying that the reason why Lu Buwei agreed to build Zheng Guo Canal was just like "Lu's Spring and Autumn", but it was all for fame and reputation.

The construction of the Zhengguo Canal was a waste of money and people. I don’t know how many people were exhausted to death during the construction process. For the sake of his own reputation, Lu Buwei did not hesitate to waste national power. He simply wanted to bring down the Qin State!

In addition, Lu Buwei also sold his official position to get a title!One thousand shi of grain can be exchanged for one level of nobility. Isn't this a clear case of using power for personal gain and enriching one's own pockets?
Typical of uneasy good intentions.

Everyone took a look at Lu Buwei’s life, oh!Lu Buwei is not from Qin!He is a guard!Now that Weiguo is a vassal state of Qin, he deliberately wants to bring down Qin. Does he want to restore Weiguo?It's so heartbreaking!
With some people deliberately fanning the flames, there were more and more such rumors, and more and more people believed the rumors. Suddenly, there were many voices opposing Qin Wangzheng and Lu Buwei.

"I thought Lu Buwei could solve it, but I didn't expect that he didn't take out Zheng'er, and instead he was splashed with dirty water."

After Jiang Chiyu heard the news, he told Jiang Anrao about it.

"This is Cheng Xi, or that person is restless and wants to cause something to happen. If these rumors continue to spread, you may not know what they will become in the end."

Sometimes you don't have to worry about things like public opinion wars, but sometimes you really have to find a way to fight back.Jiang Anrao rested for a while in Southwest County, and his mood was relieved. At this time, he could not watch Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei being scolded.

So we set out to dispel the rumors.

The so-called elimination of rumors, of course, does not mean killing all the people who spread the rumors, but finding the source of the rumors and solving the problem fundamentally.

The best thing is another way of saying it, which directly offsets the negative impact of such rumors.Just let the people whom the rumors want to slander re-establish the image of Wei Guangzheng.

Just as Jiang Anrao guessed, while Jiang Anrao was still making preparations, rumors had already spread that when King Zhuang Xiang was still a hostage in Zhao State, Lu Buwei had a close relationship with Zhao Ji, day and night. Enter and leave the Proton Mansion at any time.

It's just that Ying Zheng is not Zi Chu's son at all, but Lu Buwei's son!

If this were in other countries, it would be difficult for Jiang Anrao to say that she had the ability to guide public opinion, but in Qin, she really could!
Mohism was the most popular in Qin, and the conduct of Mohists was well-known.Ten words from others may not be as effective as one sentence from the Mo family!

So it didn't take long for the story about Zheng Guoqu to be changed.

The craftsmen who built Zheng Guo Canal have returned home in fine clothes. With bright smiles and generous rewards, they went home to buy land!

Someone asked, why? Everyone said that repairing the Zhengguo Canal was a dead end. How could you do a good job and still get the money back?

The craftsman kept boasting.

Build a canal?It’s not free of charge, it’s paid for!Taking care of the food!Three meals a day are enough!
oh?You said food is exchanged for a title?There was a disaster that day. Otherwise, what would the victims eat and drink?What shall we eat and drink?This is also so that we don’t go hungry!
As for the construction of Zhengguo Canal, it is a waste of money and people?Hey, your family wants to farm but can’t afford the seed money?Not working hard without sweat?

Once the Zhengguo Canal is repaired, the Guanzhong area will no longer be afraid of natural disasters like drought and floods!After irrigation, there will be thousands of hectares of fertile soil and ten thousand acres of fertile farmland!As a human being, you should take a long-term view!

How many migrant workers were involved in the construction of Zhengguo Canal?How many people are spreading rumors?
Comparing the two sides, it is originally the number of migrant workers that has an advantage. What's more, there is also the inkling of evidence from the merchants and painters everywhere:

Although there have been natural disasters in the past few years, the Zhengguo Canal has been repaired, and next year will definitely be a good year.

Zheng Guoqu will benefit future generations!This must be written into the history books and praised by people for generations to come!
Ordinary people have the mentality of following the crowd. Not many people are really willing to think for themselves. Most of them just follow what others say.

When people say Zheng Guoqu is not good, they feel bad about it. Later, when someone says Zheng Guoqu is good, they smack their lips and say, well, Zheng Guoqu is good.

There are many Mohists operating in the Qin State. They don't need to deliberately promote it. As long as someone hears the rumors and makes a little inquiry, they can hear a very reasonable answer.This is much more powerful than gossip.

The words that slandered Qin Wangzheng and Lu Buwei had been circulating for half a month before they had some effect. A few words from the Mo family spread throughout Qin in three to five days.As for Lu Buwei's reputation, the same is true.

The person who spread the rumors behind his back saw that his efforts were in vain and could only endure the result silently.

But what’s the point of just clarifying rumors?Since Jiang Anrao had already intervened, he wouldn't just let it go.

Soon, the news came out that the Qin king and dignitaries took a bath, changed clothes, fasted for three days, and visited the Wei River to worship the Wei River.

After a major disaster, it was a common practice for kings to offer sacrifices. At first, people didn't take it seriously. After all, ordinary people were not allowed to come near when kings were offering sacrifices, and it was not a lively event.But soon, sensational news came out.

When the King of Qin was offering sacrifices to the Wei River, thick fog suddenly surged on the river. When everyone was surprised, a black dragon emerged from the water, circling and dancing in the air with its fangs and claws.After that, the black dragon came near Ying Zheng and paused three times!

This black dragon is majestic, but it is paying tribute to a human king!

After that, the black dragon jumped into the water again, the waves surged, the black dragon disappeared without a trace, the fog also dispersed, and the sun shone on the earth!

The King of Qin was grateful for Heaven's grace and issued a royal order to call the Wei River "holy water", saying: Qin will prosper with the virtue of water!

Originally, the Qin State was still black, but now, the king's robes and army flags are all black.

This miracle spread quickly throughout Xianyang, and then throughout the world.

The King of Qin's government was famous all over the world with his imperial spirit!
Zou Yan originally established the Five Virtues theory, which originally used the five virtues of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to express the laws of the movement of all things, and it can also be used to explain the rise and fall of all things and historical changes.

According to this theory, the Yellow Emperor gained the virtue of earth, the virtue of wood in the Xia Dynasty, the virtue of gold in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and the virtue of fire in the Zhou Dynasty.Qin had the virtue of water, destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and ended the Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, it was because water defeated fire, which was in accordance with the law of heaven.

From then on, the King of Qin had to perform sacrifices in the same way as the emperor, using the ritual of cattle, horses and sheep, as if he had regarded himself as the emperor.

Any rumors that questioned Qin Wang's politics were automatically silenced at this time.

As for Lu Buwei, after Zheng Guoqu, he once again sent Meng Ao to reorganize the army and set off.Lu Buwei still implemented the strategy of making friends far away and attacking closely. This time, the Qin army's main target was still the three Jin Dynasties.

In the fifth and sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, General Meng Ao led the Qin army to attack Wei and pacified Suanzao, Yanyi, Xuyi, Changping, Yongqiu, Shanyangcheng, etc., a total of twenty cities. Lu Buwei took this area Together with Puyang, which was later acquired, all the areas east of Chenggao were merged into the Dongjun of Qin State.

Dongjun was like a sharp knife, lazily cutting off the connection between Han, Zhao and Wei. Not only did it cut off the connection between Han, Zhao, Wei and Chu, it also made Qin's territory border with Qi for the first time.In this way, it is equivalent to semi-encircling the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

Once the Qin State established a firm foothold in Dongjun, it can be said that it will be even more difficult for the six countries to form a coalition in the future.

For this reason, in the sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Pang Nuan of Zhao State organized another alliance between Zhao, Chu, Wei, Yan and Han.

At first, the joint army was as unfavorable as every previous joint army, and even broke into Hangu Pass. The Qin army did not mount any effective resistance at first. The coalition forces were satisfied and rushed all the way to Wucheng. Once here, the coalition forces again No further progress is allowed.

After that, Lu Buwei began to organize the Qin army to resist.

The coalition forces were defeated almost in one blow, suffering heavy casualties, and finally escaped from Qin's territory in embarrassment.

Lu Buwei finally proved his ability in this military operation. This was also the last chance for the six countries to organize into a joint alliance.

The Qin army has always been called the tiger and wolf division, because the Qin army fought bravely and fiercely against the enemy.However, Lu Buwei asked the army to strictly observe military discipline in addition to killing the enemy, not to harass the people, and to minimize the harm to the people in the occupied areas.At the same time, we do not agree with killing prisoners.

"The unification of the world is in sight. After governing the country, we cannot simply use brutal and vicious names to intimidate the people. We should use both kindness and power to win the people's support. If we can win the support of all the people in the world, the Qin army will naturally be invincible wherever it goes."

When Lu Buwei talked about such a policy, he talked eloquently.

At this time, his reputation was at its peak, and with his words, he considered himself to be a model.

The bad reputation of Qin's army is also quietly changing among various countries.

Those who spread rumors to smear Qin Wangzheng and Lu Buwei are punishable, but even if they know who is behind the scenes, they cannot take action now.However, those people did not expect that a long-planned public opinion war would be resolved so easily.Not only was it unsuccessful, it actually raised the reputations of Qin Wangzheng and Lu Buwei to a higher level!
"Aniang is still awesome! Hahaha! I imagine what the person behind the scenes looked like when he learned that he failed. It makes me laugh even in my dreams!"

Ying Zheng saw Jiang Anrao in the palace and talked to her excitedly.

He is really happy now. The Queen Mother has gone to Yongcheng, and the Qin Palace is now his territory. Jiang Anrao can stay with her as long as he wants, and he doesn't have to look at that woman's face.

Jiang Anrao smiled and had no intention of saying more.

The Black Dragon was indeed a trick on her part, but Lu Buwei's ability to defeat the Hezong Army was his true ability.

"Has anything happened in Yongcheng?"

Jiang Anrao asked.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a gloomy face:
"That woman followed Yongcheng very closely. He had military power in his hands and recruited many people. Now he is really strong. I once heard that when he was drunk, he once quarreled with others and shouted loudly: I am the King of Qin. Fake father! He is really shameless!
Auntie, when I take charge, I will never let him go! "

Jiang Anrao comforted Ying Zheng, but he was also thinking about this matter in his heart.

History books say that Lao Ai and Zhao Ji gave birth to two sons.At first she was not sure who spread the rumors, but then she thought about it, and the rumors that Zhao Ji had an affair with Lu Buwei and suspected that Ying Zheng had a shady background were probably just spread.

He was born into a royal family, and his surname was Ying after all. If Ying Zheng's origin was denied, Ying Zheng would not be the King of Qin. As a member of the royal family, his children would indeed have a chance to inherit the throne.

These are two chapters combined and posted together. I’m still writing, but there’s not enough for one page, so I’ll post them first.I’ll talk about the rest after I finish writing. I’m not sure if I can make it today. You can read it tomorrow.
