Daqin: Confucianism, Law, and Taoism

Walking in the Xianyang Palace, looking at this palace group that is probably the most magnificent in this era, Huan Weiyi also looked a little emotional and reminiscing.

This was his home in this life, and for the fourteen years before he went to school, he had lived in the Xianyang Palace, and except for some necessary time, he had hardly left this deep palace compound.

After thinking about it, Huan Wei followed Gai Nie and came to the front of Zhangtai Palace.

"Lord, the king is already waiting."

Gai Nie stood in front of the steps of the Zhangtai Palace and said with his hands.

Without coming to his senses, he nodded, walked two steps quickly up the steps, and stepped into the Zhangtai Palace.

Huan Zheng, who was reviewing the recital on the case, raised his head, and after seeing Huan Wei, he looked pleased, put down the pen in his hand, and quickly got up and came to the front of the case.

Seeing Huan Zheng, Huan Wei also quickened his steps forward, smiled, and saluted: "... Brother Chen, meet Brother Wang! "

Huan Zheng quickly stopped Huan Wei and helped him up, "... The third brother should be polite, hurry up and let the loneliness see! "

Immediately, he took a step back, looked Huan Wei up and down, and said, "... I haven't seen it for four years, and the third brother has changed a lot, especially his height, and he has grown a lot taller. "

When Huan Wei was nine years old, King Zhuangxiang died, and at the age of thirteen, he succeeded to the throne.

King Zhuangxiang was a rare king of Qin with very few heirs, only three brothers, and in the year he died, the eldest was only thirteen years old and still a child.

The so-called eldest brother is like a father, and Yu Zheng, who inherited the throne at the age of thirteen, takes great care of his two younger brothers, which is mainly due to his miserable childhood, and does not want to see his brother as well.

Before the age of nine, Huan Zheng and Zhao Ji's orphaned and widowed mother lived in the country of Zhao, and Qin Zhao had a big feud, you can imagine how painful Huan Zheng's life was when he was a child, and there were no siblings.

After returning to China, he really lived the life of the son of the Qin State and had his own brother.

At that time, Lü Buwei was already in power, and it was almost a certainty that he would become the king of Qin.

The disadvantage is that at that time, Huan Wei and Cheng Yu did not have a chance, but the advantage was that there was no prince dispute within the royal family, so the three brothers had always been harmonious.

Ying Zheng can be described as extremely lacking in love since childhood, and the only thing he has is Zhao Ji's maternal love.

After his succession, he was suppressed by Lü Buwei and lived to hold back, but as the king of Qin, he could not complain to outsiders, and the only objects of complaint were his two younger brothers.

When Huan Zheng looked at Huan Wei, Huan Wei was also looking at this later emperor of the ages.

At this time, Ying Zheng was just in his early twenties, his expression was restrained and calm, and he had the temperament of being a king.

Later history books recorded that the first emperor was cruel, not to mention whether the records in those books had the intention of slandering the image, anyway, only in the memory of Huan Wei, Brother Zheng was very good to him and Cheng Yu.

People's character is created by life experience, and in Yingwei's view, Ying Zheng may indeed become a ruthless emperor.

But the main turning point should be Zhao Ji's betrayal.

When a mother, especially a mother who has depended on her since childhood, betrays herself, it is unimaginable how much the government as a son will be hit.

I am afraid that since then, Ying Zheng has completely closed his heart, becoming a loner, only knowing how to use power and tricks, and only the heart of the emperor, no longer human.

However, Huan Wei felt that now that he had himself, he could not let Ying Zheng become the cruel emperor who had no humanity again.

The so-called companion king is like a companion tiger, that kind of ruthless emperor, even if he does not consider his own safety, if he faces that kind of emperor, it is estimated that he will think about how to replace it.

Therefore, it is best to maintain this situation of harmony and brotherhood.

Just let Brother Zheng honestly be his stamping tool in Xianyang Palace, to have a headache for those national policies, as a younger brother, I will reluctantly go around to enjoy myself, isn't it beautiful?

Huan Wei didn't think about these things, and said with a smile in his mouth: "... Brother Wang is no different from four years ago, but there is more sadness in his expression. "

This is also a euphemistic way to point out the current predicament of the government.

As for the situation of harmony and harmony for a lifetime, it is actually very easy to achieve.

One is not to let Yingzheng feel that everyone has betrayed him and make him feel that he is the enemy of the world.

The second is that the two sides are in the right position with each other, so that suspicion will not arise.

For Ying Wei, who is proficient in the art of the Legalist, this matter is not difficult.

How could Huan Zheng not hear the meaning of Huan Wei's words, he touched his brows, as if he was looking to see if they were really sad.

He laughed, shook his head, and asked, "... The third brother has been working hard all the way, and he hasn't used lunch yet, right? "

Huan Wei replied, "... Not really. "

"The third brother has worked hard all the way, and he should have gone to rest first, but Lonely and the third brother have not seen each other for several years, and even miss it, so the third brother will accompany Lonely to eat together."

In front of others, Ying Zheng calls himself a widow, but in front of his only brother now, he doesn't want to be too rusty.

After speaking, he did not give Huan Wei a chance to refuse, and Huan Zheng waved his hand and asked the eunuch who served with him to temporarily take away the bamboo Jane on the case table, and then he took Huan Wei's hand and came to another dining case table.

In the pre-Qin meal, everyone did not sit at a table, but each person had a small table, on which various exquisite dishes were placed according to the system.

Ying Zheng is a person who hates red tape extremely much, he pursues efficiency, so there is no rule of silence, and the brothers chat while eating.

The main thing is that Huan Wei said, and Huan Zheng listened, talking about some things that Huan Wei himself had studied in the past four years, and what he had seen and heard in the Little Sage Zhuang.

Ying Zheng did not say his life, he is the king of Qin, some things cannot be said, followed by the fact that Ying Zheng has been in Xianyang Palace for the past four years, and there is nothing to say.

It can be seen that being a diligent king is not so comfortable, at least there is no freedom to win.

While chatting, the two talked about the assassination of Huan Wei in the Wei Kingdom this time.

Before he could speak, Huan Zheng clapped his hands and signaled everyone else in the hall to go down, even Gai Nie, who was trusted by him.

No matter how much he trusts Gai Nie, in the eyes of Ying Zheng, he is an outsider, and there are some things he can't listen to, only his own people can. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

"Third brother, this time you encountered an assassination in the Wei Kingdom, do you have an eyebrow about the identity of the assassin?"

Ying Zheng asked with a deep face.

Huan Wei naturally did not hide anything, and directly complained: "... It was the one who killed me! "

"If it weren't for the fact that Brother Chen had already discovered the clues and made preparations in advance, I am afraid that the person who came to see Brother Wang now would be a corpse."

Ying Zheng's face was gloomy and more ugly, he suppressed his voice and cursed in a low voice: "... Lu Buwei, that traitor, didn't he have to kill all the widow's brothers! "

In front of outsiders, Ying Zheng naturally couldn't scold like this, and even when he opened his mouth, he had to shout the title of Zhong Father, which made him shameful.

Only in front of Huan Wei did he dare to say so.

If it were in the past, Ying Zheng would still have some suspicions, fearing that Huan Wei would not get together with Lu Buwei to threaten his throne.

But now he completely lost that idea, and the moment Lu Buwei assassinated Huan Wei, Huan Zheng knew that Huan Wei was already his most trustworthy person and his most important younger brother.

In fact, after knowing that Lu Buwei actually wanted to kill Huan Wei, Huan Zheng also felt a sense of relief.

Except for the kind of person who is truly disconnected, no one wants to fight his family, but the position of the government makes him have to think about this.

Lu Buwei's behavior made the two brothers no longer have a gap and could trust each other, and from this point of view, they had to thank Lu Buwei.

Hearing Huan Zheng say this, Huan Wei's eyes flickered, he held the wine glass and whispered: "... The second brother's rebellion may be strange. "

Since there is no gap between the brothers, Huan Wei naturally speaks freely.

Ying Zheng nodded slowly, "... Gu knew, but he chose to defect. "

"If he is just a rebellion, for the sake of so many brothers, the loneliness can also spare him the death penalty."

"But on the other hand, he chose to go to the Zhao Kingdom, and in order to explain to the entire Qin Kingdom, he had to be sentenced to death."

Ying Zheng's words seemed indifferent, but Huan Wei could still see a touch of pain in Ying Zheng's eyes, after all, it was his younger brother who grew up with him since he was a child.

"The third brother has been in the Little Sage Village of the Qi Kingdom, but he must have heard that rumor."

Yingzheng was calm when he said the rumor.

Huan Wei nodded slowly: "... Brother Chen knew, but this rumor must be nonsense. "

Saying this, Huan Wei looked at the appearance of Huan Zheng in front of him, after all, they were all born of a father, and the two looked at least six points alike.

Unless he was also born by Lu Buwei, how can this rumor be seen and how false.

Huan Zheng could also see that Huan Wei meant that he was comparing the looks of the two sides, which made him laugh.

In this Xianyang Palace, as the King of Qin, he must always maintain his majesty, and there is nowhere to vent many bitter things in his heart.

Whether it was the eunuchs around him, Zhang Han, who had been following him, or Gai Nie, who was loyal, he could not say anything to them.

After holding it for a long time, although I am used to it, it is also uncomfortable, and it is easy to have psychological problems.

The best person to confide in itself is his mother Zhao Ji.

But the relationship between Ying Zheng and his mother is very stiff now, because Ying Zheng doesn't understand at all why his mother would help Lu Buwei instead of helping him!

Although Zhao Ji was indeed Lu Buwei's concubine at the beginning, she would rather help her old friend than her own son, which is simply incomprehensible, and it can only be said that the woman's brain is sick!

As for his wives and concubines, they are just tools for political marriage, and Ying Zheng has lofty ambitions, let alone have feelings for them.

Even because of his mother (the good king's), he instinctively felt rejected by women, and it was enough to be a fertility tool.

So now that he sees his younger brother, a trustworthy younger brother, Ying Zheng can finally say the words he held in his heart.

"Although we all understand that this is nonsense, but we can't stop what the people below think, it's easy for people's hearts to float."

"This rumor was initially unknown to both Gu and Cheng Yu, but Lu Buwei's eyes were all over Xianyang, and he first knew that it was Lu Buwei's request that Cheng Yu attack the Zhao Kingdom later."

Ying Zheng slowly said the situation of the court at that time.

Huan Wei thought about it and replied, "... If my expectations are correct, Brother Wang, you should have wanted to refuse at first. "

"I understand the second brother's temperament, unless his temperament has changed greatly in the past four years, I don't think the second brother has the ability to lead troops to fight."

"With Brother Wang's intelligence, you should be able to see that this should be Lu Buwei's desire for the second brother to die."

Huan Zheng sighed lightly and said, "... The third brother has been huijie since he was a child, and outsiders don't know, but Gu and Cheng Yu know about it. "

"Just like you have been studying in the Little Sage Village of the Qi Kingdom in the past four years, the books you have written make Lonely Yi read every night."

Ying Zheng, who was saying this, glanced at Huan Wei, and his eyes were burning.

The burning eyes startled Huan Wei, and he quickly took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.

Although my book was written to fish you, but Brother Zheng, your eyes are too dangerous, younger brother, I am not interested in men, and I am not as good as Longyang, let alone Longyangjun!

Muttering like this, Huan Wei tugged on his cuffs, hoping that Brother Zheng would not break my sleeves! .
