A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 104 The Zhou Dynasty fell and the young King Qin
The capital of Zhao State, Handan, Zhujia Lane

In a merchant's mansion, a middle-aged wealthy businessman walked into the backyard and said to a young and beautiful woman who was playing with her children: "Daughter, the Qin army has retreated, Qin and Zhao have signed a peace treaty, and you are safe."

The woman hugged the child and said, "Father, how can it be so good! Even if Qin and Zhao signed a peace treaty, Zheng'er and I still can't go to Qin, and I don't know if the foreigners have succeeded."

The middle-aged wealthy businessman comforted him: "Don't worry too much, daughter. With Brother Wei's help, the stranger will be safe and sound."

The capital of Qin State, Xianyang, is the mansion of An Guojun.

Ying Yiren was anxiously waiting for the summons of Mrs. Huayang. Lu Buwei next to him was also very anxious. Whether he could soar into the sky depended on today. Then he looked at the nervous Ying Yiren next to him and suppressed his heart. He was so worried that he comforted Ying Yiren and said, "Young Master, there is no need to be worried. I have already arranged everything!"

Ying Yiren looked at Lu Buwei and said, "Sir, Yiren will never forget your kindness. If I really become the king, I will definitely seal a land and build a country for you!"

Lu Buwei didn't say anything after hearing this, but just helped Ying Yiren tidy up the Chu costume he was wearing to see if there was anything wrong.

Soon, a concierge came to the two of them and said that his wife had summoned him, please follow him. Ying Yiren breathed a sigh of relief and followed the concierge alone, while Lu Buwei was waiting at the door. But Lu Buwei has no dissatisfaction, because he knows that after today, he will definitely become the one inside.

As soon as Ying Yiren entered the door, he saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting on the main seat, wearing the unique five-color costume of Chu State. When he reached the designated place, Ying Yiren immediately bowed, knelt down and said:

"The foreigner pays homage to his mother. When the foreigner was a hostage in Handan, he often felt lonely, so he cried day and night and missed his father and his wife. Today he finally sees his mother's face. The foreigner has no regrets in this life!"

Mrs. Huayang has been in Qin all year round, and all she has seen are clothes of a single color, either black or white. Now when she saw Ying Yiren's Chu country costumes, she couldn't help but feel warm and moved. She immediately felt Ying Yi's feelings. People’s good intentions moved me and I said:

"Please wake up, stranger. I am very touched that you can think of me all the time. Today, you came to see me in Chu clothes regardless of the eyes of others. This is enough to prove that you have me in your heart. It just so happens that I have no heirs. I see Stranger, you not only respect me, but also please me very much. I want to adopt you as my adopted son, what do you think?"

Ying Yiren knew it was done as soon as he heard it, so he just stood up and bowed again: "My mother did not adopt the alien because she was despicable. What an honor it is to the alien! The alien must treat my mother as my biological mother. , if a foreigner succeeds to the throne in the future, he will definitely make his mother the queen mother."

After saying that, he bowed deeply: "Ying Yiren pays homage to mother!"

Mrs. Huayang was very happy to hear that Ying Yiren would ensure her position as queen. She smiled and said, "My son, get up! Then follow me to visit your father!" After saying that, he stood up and walked outside. Follow respectfully.

After meeting Prince An Guojun, An Guojun declared Ying Yiren as his heir on the spot according to the jade talisman he and Mrs. Huayang carved, and also changed Ying Yiren's name to Zi Chu. In this way, a bastard who was held as a hostage in the State of Zhao became the noble heir to the throne of the State of Qin.

Lu Buwei, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw Ying Zichu come out with a smile on his face, and knew that the matter was successful, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Later, Lord An Guo and Mrs. Huayang gave Zi Chu generous gifts and asked Lu Buwei to be his teacher. As a result, Zi Chu's reputation gradually spread and became more and more popular among the princes.

Five hundred and sixteenth year of the Bai Kingdom

General Qin led 200,000 Qin troops to attack South Korea, captured Yangcheng and Fushu, and beheaded 40,000 people. The border of Qin is getting closer to Xinzheng, the capital of Han, and South Korea has completely become a small country. If South Korea had not had sharp weapons and was good at defending the city, South Korea would have been subjugated by Qin this time.

Just when the Qin army was about to attack Xinzheng City, the king of Western Zhou listened to the king of Chu and summoned the six countries to send troops to attack Qin in the name of the Emperor of Zhou. He betrayed Qin and led the world's elite soldiers to attack Qin from Yique Mountain. He wanted to use Qin was cut off when it attacked Yangcheng. However, none of the six countries cooperated, and in the end there were only hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from Chu.

Fortunately, the Qin State sent another 200,000 troops to rescue in time, and defeated the hundreds of thousands of "world" elite soldiers who came down from Yique Mountain. But it also interrupted Qin's progress in conquering South Korea. Later, in order to retaliate against the king of Western Zhou, Qin sent generals to attack Western Zhou.

After the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty escaped, he came back to apologize in person, kowtowed and begged to be punished, and expressed his willingness to dedicate his entire territory of 36 cities and 30,000 households. The King of Qin accepted the donation from the king of Western Zhou and released him back to Luoyi, the capital of Zhou.

In the same year, Qin tore up the peace treaty and attacked Zhao from Pi Lao, seizing more than 20 counties in succession and killing 90,000 people.

Five hundred and seventeenth year of the Bai Kingdom

The people of the Western Zhou City fled eastward to avoid the rule of Qin, and the nine tripods, the treasures of the Zhou Dynasty, which were placed in the Western Zhou City, were sent to the Qin State. The Zhou Dynasty could basically be declared destroyed.

Five hundred and eighteen years of the Bai Kingdom

The King of Qin relied on the Nine Cauldrons to demand submission from all the princes in the world. The Qin State took the Bai State's Zhongmou City as an excuse for the late arrival of the Bai State's envoys. The King of Han came to the court and expressed his willingness to hand over all the Korean power and completely obey the orders of Qin.

At this point, all the princes in the world served Qin as ministers.

In the 519th year of the Bai Kingdom, King Zhaoxiang of Qin held a ceremony to worship the Emperor of Heaven in the southern suburbs of Yong County. All countries sent envoys to attend.

Five hundred and twenty years of the Bai Kingdom

Fall:

King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, and Prince An Guojun succeeded to the throne as King Xiaowen of Qin. Ying Zichu was established as the prince of Qin.

Five hundred and twenty-one years of the Bai Kingdom

When King Xiaowen of Qin first came to the throne, he pardoned sinners, rewarded the heroes of the previous king, treated relatives of the clan favorably, and at the same time opened the gardens to the people so that they could make a living. King Xiaowen also followed the usual practice of observing mourning for King Zhaoxiang of Qin for one year. On October 11th, King Xiaowen's mourning period expired and he officially succeeded to the throne.

Three days later, on Xinchou Day, King Qin Xiaowen died suddenly, and his son, Prince Chu, succeeded him as King Zhuangxiang of Qin.

Five hundred and twenty-two years of the Bai Kingdom
King Qin Zhuangxiang's mourning period expired and he officially succeeded to the throne. The first order of succession was to appoint Lu Buwei as prime minister and title him Marquis Wenxin.

The capital of Zhao is Handan, Zhujiaxiang.

A ten-year-old handsome boy was walking on the street. Suddenly a stone flew over and hit the boy on the head. Soon a stream of blood flowed from the boy's head, and the dark red blood reflected the boy's white face.

"Qin Gou, you won't die a good death, go to hell!" "Qin Gou, get out of Handan, get out of the State of Zhao" "Go back to your country, the State of Zhao does not welcome you"

Those who said these words were all children whose relatives had died at the hands of the Qin army. One child in particular looked at the young man very angry because his father died in the Battle of Handan seven years ago.

He walked up to the young man, looked at the young man and almost roared: "My father died in the Battle of Handan seven years ago, in the hands of your Qin army. Do you know how I came here in the past seven years? ?do you know?"

The boy was the child that Ying Zichu gave birth to in Handan, named Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng looked at his peers across from him calmly and said expressionlessly: "Are you done? Can you get out of the way?"

The two of them faced off like this until the blood on Zhao Zheng's head dripped down his chin and onto the ground, splashing a circle of dust. Zhao Zheng looked at the young man opposite and said, "Are you ready to let me die here? My father has become the prince of Qin. If I die, more people will die in Zhao Guo. Are you ready to pull dozens of people?" Are the people from the city buried with me?"

The pupils of the young man opposite him shrank for a while, and he really wanted to kill Zhao Zheng on the spot, but when he thought of the Qin army, he couldn't help but be afraid. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned away, letting Zhao Zheng go.

Zhao Zheng slowly walked past the boy, walked to the other children surrounding him, and said, "Where are you?"

The children left a way out for Zhao Zheng, who walked out calmly. Every time a child passed by, everyone who dared to look at Zhao Zheng lowered their heads. Upon seeing this, Zhao Zheng sneered and went home without looking back.

The child who just confronted Zhao Zheng was very angry, but he could only face the object next to him, furiously output and swear an oath: "I, Zhao Jia, are incompatible with you!"

When Zhao Zheng returned home, he saw things being packed at home. His mother, Zhao Ji, was giving instructions. He stepped forward happily when he saw Zhao Zheng, but when he saw the blood on Zhao Zheng's face, his expression changed instantly, but he did not speak and just remained silent. He wiped the blood stains for Zhao Zheng, but while wiping, he suddenly hugged Zhao Zheng and cried, and said while crying:
"Zheng'er, don't be afraid anymore. Your father has sent someone to pick us up. We will never be bullied again. When we return to Qin, you will be the most noble person. No one will dare to bully you anymore!"

After Zhao Zheng heard this, he knew the reason why he packed his things at home and was going back to Qin. Zhao Zheng thought to himself, what is Qin like?

In the same year, in order to have good relations with Qin, Zhao State returned the crown prince, Mrs. Zhao Ji of Chu, and son Zhao Zheng to Qin. At this time, the State of Zhao did not know that Prince Chu had become the King of Qin.

September
Zhao Zheng and his party entered Xianyang
In the same year, the King of Qin used the excuse that the Lord of Eastern Zhou and the princes were plotting to attack Qin. The State of Qin sent Prime Minister Lu Buwei to punish the Lord of Eastern Zhou and completely annex the Kingdom of Eastern Zhou. However, the Qin State did not cut off the sacrifices of the Zhou Dynasty, and rewarded the land of Yangren to the Lord of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and asked him to offer sacrifices to his ancestors. Since then, the Zhou Dynasty was completely destroyed.

In the same year, Qin sent Meng Ao to attack South Korea, and South Korea ceded Chenggao and Gongyi.

Five hundred and twenty-three years of the Bai Kingdom
The King of Qin sent Meng Ao to attack Zhao and capture Jinyang.

Five hundred and twenty-four years of the Bai Kingdom
Meng Ao attacked Gaodu and Jiyi of Bai Kingdom and captured both places. Then he went to attack Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng of Zhao State, and captured thirty-seven cities. Almost half of the land west of the Taihang Mountains in Zhao State was lost.

April
Wang Hao attacked Shangdang. The State of Qin began to set up Taiyuan County in Jinyang. General Yuan Yi of the Bai Kingdom led the armies of Bai, Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Chu to defeat Meng Ao's 200,000 troops outside the river. The Qin army retreated and stopped attacking.

Bingwu day in May,
King Zhuangxiang of Qin died, and his son Yingzheng succeeded to the throne. Yingzheng was thirteen years old when he succeeded. Because of his young age, Yingzheng was asked to respect Lu Buwei as his second father, and Lu Buwei controlled all the national affairs of Qin.
