The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 113
"Do you know why your father died young?"

The master's voice suddenly reached his ears, which made Ying Zheng, who was dealing with government affairs, stunned for a moment. Then he showed a look of surprise and looked up into the palace. He saw a divine bird with a green glow on its body, looking at Own.

Hearing the divine bird mention his father, Ying Zheng couldn't help but subconsciously asked: "Why?"

"Without him, overwork will make you sick!"

Bai Zhi shook his head.

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why the divine bird said that.

"Master, I am young and strong. I am no longer in Haishi at this time, so I will be fine!"

Ying Zheng said so.

"It is precisely because you are young that you need enough sleep!"

The reason why Ying Zheng died in his 40s in history was that, apart from his own fondness for taking drugs, the most important reason was that he was too diligent.

As for other things that weaken the body, there are none!
As for women?

There has never been any record in history of Qin Shihuang being addicted to women. Even those who smeared Qin Shihuang in later generations have never accused Ying Zheng of being addicted to women.

From this point of view, Bai Zhi is relatively relieved.

"It's time to rest!"

Bai Zhi urged.

"……only!"

In the end, Ying Zheng obediently put down the documents in his hands and lay down on the bed with the help of the palace maid.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi also left with peace of mind.

……

The new king of Qin succeeded to the throne, and all five kingdoms were in turmoil.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that there is no longer a war between the six countries, and the world has entered a brief period of peace and recuperation.

Early the next morning, in Xianyang Palace, King Qin Yingzheng held a nine-guest ceremony to welcome the Chu envoy to the King of Qin.

This is the first time that the five eastern countries sent envoys to Qin after the new king of Qin came to the throne. Naturally, they should be treated with courtesy.

The Qin Palace is majestic and majestic. There are Qin warriors standing on both sides of the palace road, holding war guns, majestic and solemn.

I saw the envoys of the State of Chu holding festival banners and wearing the costumes of the State of Chu, followed by a group of envoys, striding towards the majestic and huge Xianyang Palace in front.

"Invite the envoy from the State of Chu to come and see you!"

The sound of the visitors singing loudly came, and the Chu State envoy who was waiting under His Majesty Dan stepped forward again and climbed the steps.

"The envoy from Chu State has met King Qin!"

King Qin Yingzheng's face was childish, but his expression was serious, and his small body was already quite majestic. He looked at the Chu envoy below, and next to him sat the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

The King of Qin is young, and the Queen Mother is in charge of the affairs, but she cannot interfere with the King of Qin's decisions.

Below, Lu Buwei was also kneeling behind a specially set table. He was one step higher than other Qin officials and many steps lower than the King of Qin.

Seeing this, the envoy of the Chu State looked at it slightly, then lowered his eyes, but gradually understood the current situation of the Qin State in his heart.

"The Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Lu Buwei, is powerful and may be able to influence the King of Qin's will. Fortunately, he has sent some property to the Prime Minister's residence before..."

The Chu envoy was deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the ceremony was over, King Qin Yingzheng looked at the Chu envoy below and asked loudly: "I wonder why the Chu envoy came here this time?"

"My king heard that the new king of Qin has succeeded to the throne, and specially sent foreign ministers to congratulate the new king of Qin!"

The Chu envoy was respectful, and then said some words of harmony and friendship between Qin and Chu. Then he changed his voice and said again: "My king intends to change the past relations with Qin, and has already withdrawn the troops on the border between Qin and Chu. To show sincerity!”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, King Qin Yingzheng showed a look of surprise on his face. He naturally knew what the Chu envoy said.

Just when I was dealing with government affairs yesterday, I saw the documents sent from the border of Qin and Chu, including military information sent by the border general.

At this time, listening to the words of the envoy of Chu State, it is considered correct.

However, King Qin Yingzheng would not simply think that Chu simply wanted to reconcile with Qin, and there must be other purposes.

Sure enough, I heard the Chu envoy continue to say: "I heard that the new king of Qin is a young man. When I saw him today, he really looked like a king. When the foreign ministers saw him, they couldn't help but feel awe."

"When my king heard this, he admired the King of Qin even more, and even wanted to send his beloved princess to the Kingdom of Qin to make the King of Qin his queen!"

Naturally, everyone likes to hear compliments. Qin Chen in Xianyang Palace smiled immediately when he heard the words of the Chu envoy.

But when the Chu envoys finished speaking, the smiles on their faces gradually faded.

For the new king of the Qin State, the current Qin King Yingzheng, the officials of the Qin State are full of expectations. After all, the king is a disciple of the divine bird.

I would like to think that the former Princess Zhenguo and King Zhaoxiang all learned from the divine bird, so that the Qin State at that time was able to change its once weak state and become the overlord of the world!
During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, Zhao was destroyed in one fell swoop!
Even during the reign of King Zhuang Xiang, he destroyed the State of Zhou and made the whole world respect the State of Qin!

As for the current King of Qin Ying Zheng, they can already see the future. King Qin will lead the State of Qin to destroy the State of Wei, South Korea, Qi... and even the State of Chu!

When the world is truly unified, they, the veterans of the Qin State, will all be heroes. If they are divided into feudal states, they will naturally be rewarded!
But at this time, the Chu State intends to marry the Qin State, perhaps because it really wants to be bound to the Qin State. When the time comes to truly destroy Chu, the King of Qin will throw a taboo weapon.

However, Lu Buwei above did not show any displeasure, and instead smiled.

In a time of great strife, with frequent conflicts between countries, how can one or two women influence the general trend of the world? !

So what if the daughter of Chu is the Queen of Qin?When the time comes to destroy Chu, he will definitely not hesitate.

Lu Buwei is a businessman, and at this time he is the Prime Minister of Qin. Although he is greedy, he knows how to measure.

At this time, after hearing the words of the Chu envoy, he couldn't help but look up at King Qin Yingzheng above.

King Qin Yingzheng frowned slightly and his eyes were a little confused. After all, it was about his future affairs, which affected his normal thoughts many times.

But the Queen Mother Zhao Ji next to him brightened up. Seeing that King Qin Yingzheng had not spoken a word, she asked: "I wonder how old Princess Chu is now?"

"Go back to the Queen Mother, the princess is now ten years old!"

"Ten years old..."

The current King of Qin Yingzheng is only ten and two years old and is not a minor, so there is no need to rush the King of Qin's marriage.

Now what the envoy of Chu State said, Zhao Ji remembered it in her heart.

So she turned to look at King Qin Yingzheng and whispered: "I don't know the government... What is the king's intention?"

At this time, King Qin Yingzheng had also calmed down and began to think about the pros and cons.Although Qin is strong today, if the five countries unite in the future, it may really cost Qin some effort.

The purpose of Chu State is naturally to unite and bind with Qin State, but why did Qin State not think so!

The Qin State had been implementing the strategy of making friends from far away and attacking at close quarters for a long time. Unexpectedly, Chu State would now come to its doorstep and even sent a princess for free.

After a long time, King Qin Yingzheng nodded and said: "Yes!"

When the Chu envoy heard this, he immediately smiled. King Qin nodded, and the matter was confirmed.

Qin and Chu have already made a marriage covenant, and they only need to wait until King Qin comes of age before he can marry the princess of Chu.

When the King of Qin comes to power at the age of 21, it will be time to marry the Princess of Chu!
……

When Bai Zhi heard the news that King Qin had made a marriage contract with Chu State, he was just slightly stunned, and then didn't take it to heart.

"When Ying Zheng comes of age, the Princess of Chu will also..."

In this era, a 15-year-old woman is already married, let alone a [-]-year-old woman.

However, since the princess of Chu is now married to the King of Qin, naturally she cannot be treated like an ordinary woman.

…………

On the second day, the King of Qin sent someone to the Divine Bird Palace to invite the Divine Bird into the palace, and Bai Zhinai entered Zhangtai Palace.

In Zhangtai Palace, King Qin Yingzheng asked Bai Zhi for advice, "Master, after Qin unified the world, should it be divided into feudal states or prefectures and counties?"

Bai Zhi heard Ying Zheng ask this question again, but asked Ying Zheng, "What kind of governance method do you want to implement?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng fell silent, Bai Zhi said, "Actually, haven't you already made a decision in your heart?" Bai Zhi landed on the desk, looked at the political documents handled by Ying Zheng on the desk, and comforted: "It's still a long time before Qin will unify the world. It's too early to think about this. Why not take advantage of this period to accumulate strength and enrich yourself!"

Bai Zhi said this.

The current issues that Ying Zheng is concerned about are really unfounded worries. If according to the original history, it would still be more than twenty years before Qin unified the world.

So, it's too early to tell.

After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng also put down the ink pen in his hand, then looked at the scenery outside the window of Zhangtai Palace and said slowly: "I want to make the king's brother Cheng Jiao the Lord of Chang'an."

"Block it!"

Bai Zhi said casually.Now Ying Zheng feels very attached to Bai Zhi. Although on the one hand he is very independent, on the other hand, he wants to ask his master's opinion from time to time.

Just like now, however, he thought of the Wang Di Chengjiao mentioned by Ying Zheng.

He is also a person who left a mark in history.

Historically, Ying Chengjiao also competed with Ying Zheng for the crown prince position. Because of Lu Buwei's strong support, Ying Zheng stood out and eventually became the king of Qin.

Even so, Ying Zheng did not feel resentment towards this younger brother. Instead, he allowed Ying Chengjiao to lead the troops in battle. It can be seen that Ying Zheng trusted this younger brother.

However, when Ying Chengjiao, Lord of Chang'an, led his troops to attack Zhao, he immediately defected and surrendered to Zhao!
"but……"

History has changed at this time. Bai Zhi doesn't know what the people in history will become like again, but their destiny will definitely change.

Thinking of Ying Zheng's family situation, Zhao Ji is now in her 20s, as beautiful as a flower, and living in the palace...

After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi looked at the pensive Ying Zheng and said: "For the outside world, you have not officially taken charge, so you can leave some small matters to Lu Buwei. With me here, Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister, will not really have all the power in the government."

"So, you have plenty of time. You should keep the same rhythm as you learned from me on weekdays. At the same time, spend more time with your family..."

"……only."

Ying Zheng was a little confused when he heard this, but he still nodded to show his understanding.

Seeing Ying Zheng being so obedient, Bai Zhi was very satisfied, sighed at his training skills, and then disappeared into Zhangtai Palace.

…………

Time passes, years pass.Nine years passed in a flash, and the world ushered in nine years of peace. Merchants from various countries traveled across the country, and hundreds of schools of thought were once again at their peak.

In spring, as the weather gets warmer, people put on lighter clothes, feel the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers in the air, and their mood seems to become more joyful.

Xianyang City of the State of Qin will usher in a very important court meeting today. Gein, after today, the King of Qin will come of age and will truly begin to take charge of the government!
In Xianyang Palace, the ceremony was about to end, but directly above the palace, a sacred bird was seen floating in the air, emitting a green divine light, causing the people below to look up involuntarily.

Naturally, Ying Zheng requested him to come to the Prince of Qin's official ceremony. Bai Zhi was not interested in the matter at all, but he also understood the intention of the administration, so he appeared directly in the sky above Xianyang Palace.

At this time, I saw a young man in his 20s below wearing a crown, surrounded by hundreds of officials, completing the etiquette. In this way, it represented that King Qin Yingzheng was in charge.

In Xianyang Palace, King Qin Yingzheng was sitting on the throne, looking at the ministers below. Although they seemed respectful on the surface, King Qin Yingzheng knew in his heart that they all had their own plans in their hearts.

The closer he came to taking charge, the more serious the struggle among the officials in the court became, especially the struggle between the officials of the Chu family and the officials of the Qin Dynasty.

King Qin Yingzheng saw all this but did nothing.

Once the divine bird asked him why he did nothing. He replied: "As a human being, you have desires in your heart. With desires, you will understand all the actions of the other party. If you lose your desires, as a minister, it would be terrible!"

At this time, I saw a courtier coming out from below and said: "Your Majesty, now that your Majesty is in charge, will you start preparing to marry the Princess of Chu?"

After hearing what the courtier said, King Qin Yingzheng realized that there was something like this.

After such a long time, he was about to forget it!

So, he nodded slightly and said, "I'll leave this matter to you!"

As the political affairs in the court were mentioned one by one by the ministers, and then dealt with by Ying Zheng, at the end, Lu Buwei, who was the prime minister, suddenly came out and bowed respectfully to King Qin Ying Zheng.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Buwei said sincerely: "Back to the king, I feel that I am old and cannot handle state affairs, and I am afraid of delaying political affairs. Therefore, I ask you to take the position of prime minister!"

"Xiangguo? Why is this happening!"

When King Qin Yingzheng heard this, his face showed confusion, and he looked at Lu Buwei below, very puzzled.

But his eyes looked very calm.

Ying Zheng had already guessed the scene before him. At the same time, he understood and was very satisfied with Lu Buwei's behavior.

After holding the position of Prime Minister for more than ten years, even if Lu Buwei does not want to cultivate cronies, there will be people who take the initiative to become Lu Buwei's cronies.

Because there is a divine bird behind King Qin Yingzheng, Lu Buwei dare not have any thoughts. Now that King Qin is in charge, it is the best time to escape. After that, as long as Lu Buwei doesn't do anything disobedient in a hot head, he will be welcomed. That’s overwhelming wealth!
"The prime minister has done nothing for the Qin State. He helped me to manage the Qin State in such an orderly manner. It is really unbearable for me to retreat like this..."

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei, then moved his eyes to look at the ministers below, "In that case, I'm sure..."

Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of Qin, invited Lu Buwei to take the position of Prime Minister. The King of Qin repeatedly asked Lu Buwei to serve as the Prime Minister again. Lu Buwei had made up his mind, and the King of Qin had no choice.

Then Lu Buwei was given a reward of property, servants, beauties, and even food, which can be said to be the courtesy of the King of Qin.

The residence of the Prime Minister has changed its plaque at this time and became the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin.

On the first day after Lu Buwei left to become prime minister, guests came to visit again and again.

Among them, there are many people with ulterior motives. In their words, they all expressed regret and confusion about Lu Buwei's approach of inviting the prime minister to the throne.

Most people even think that this is because Qin Yingzheng is afraid of Lu Buwei and coerces Lu Buwei to do this. At the same time, it is an expression of loyalty. As long as Lu Buwei wants to do something big, he can strongly support him.
After hearing this, the protagonist Lu Buwei sneered in his heart. Is this a big deal?Let yourself seek death!

You have lived enough, but I have not lived enough!
As a businessman who has served as the prime minister of Qin for ten years, how can he know nothing?

In these ten years, the people who rely on themselves and are willing to be their confidants are probably people with ulterior motives.

There are many people from the five eastern countries who are eager to sow discord between the King of Qin and his ministers, thereby causing chaos in the Qin State.

……

Different from the excitement in Wenxinhou Mansion, the Qin Zhangtai Palace seemed particularly peaceful.

Ying Zheng, who had already taken charge of the government, sat in front of the desk, looked at Bai Zhi in front of him, and recounted what happened in Xianyang Palace before.

After hearing this, Bai Zhi was a little surprised, but it was also expected.

How can Lu Buwei be a stupid person who can do such things as make a living?Now that he is able to escape unscathed, one can see his wisdom.

And what Ying Zheng did was also very good.

"What do you want next?"

After talking about pro-government, Bai Zhi looked at King Qin Yingzheng and asked.

Upon hearing the question of the divine bird, King Qin Yingzheng said without concealment: "I want to destroy Wei!"

"Tell me carefully!"

Bai Zhi sat on the table beside him, as if listening.

"Now the State of Zhao is the territory of the State of Qin. In addition, in the Battle of Changping, Princess Zhenguo saved the 40 soldiers of the State of Zhao and brought the State of Zhao back. This is my confidence!"

King Qin Yingzheng first said this.

Speaking of Zhao Guo's return to his heart, Bai Zhi also knew about it.After the Battle of Changping, the soldiers of Zhao State surrendered. As a general, Bai Qi wanted to trap the soldiers of Zhao State and kill them.

However, Princess Xia, the princess of Zhenguo, had another plan and retained 40 Zhao soldiers.

In order to completely bring the land of Zhao State back to its heart, Bai Qi's intention was spread afterwards, and the conduct of the Princess Zhenguo was spread. In contrast, the people of Zhao State were naturally grateful to Qin, and all their hatred was concentrated on Qin. Get up in vain.

After that, the Qin State accepted Zhao Tu as the land of Qin, and it became very smooth. So far, the rebellions of the nobles of the Zhao State in the past were only one or two, and they were quickly put out with the help of the people!
Bai Zhi fell into memories.

Bai Qi even took the initiative to do this in the first place.

Looking back at this time, this person has passed away!

"I have ordered Wang Jian to deploy troops in the land of Zhao. At the same time, I have ordered Meng Wu to deploy troops on the border of Qin and Wei. I only need my order to destroy Wei!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi knew that King Qin Yingzheng had obviously been preparing for a long time to destroy Wei.

This is also the first major thing he will do after taking office!
　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!
