Qin Ying looked Shun up and down, but she couldn't remember who he was. Shun addressed Zichu as his father, and showed a look of disdain towards Lady Zhao and Ying Zheng. Naturally, it was not Ying Zheng.
Could it be that he was the child of the woman Zichu married when he returned to Qin? There were very few historical records of the Pre-Qin period, and they were all tampered with. It was simply unbelievable.
"Young Master, you still haven't guessed who I am?”Shun glanced at him and asked confidently.
However, Qin Ying's answer disappointed him.""I can't remember."
He wasn't deliberately belittling Shun, but he really couldn't recall that the halo of the one emperor from the ancient times had covered all the members of the Ying royal family. Even if he was slightly famous, how could he be compared to Ying Zheng?
Shun smiled bitterly." I didn't expect that after Ying Zheng became the King of Qin, the world would forget the descendants of the royal family."”He was too lazy to look at Qin Ying. He looked up at the starry sky and said faintly,""After Lu Buwei took power, in order to consolidate his position, he did not hesitate to let the world curse the Qin Dynasty for being heartless and unjust.
The notorious King Zichu was scolded by the vassals and died in depression. However, Lu Buwei forcefully supported Zhao Zheng to become the King of Qin. This would not have brought disaster to the Ying Royal Family, but unexpectedly…
Zhao Zheng was still young, and Lady Zhao was the one who held the reins of power behind the curtain. She had handed the power to Lu Buwei, allowing him to dominate the court. Moreover, she had an affair with him. All the officials in the court looked askance at him, but none of them dared to speak out in fear of his power.
As Zhao Zheng was older, Lu Buwei had begun to fear rumors and gossip. As for Lady Zhao, she was a lecherous woman who liked men, and Lu Buwei had actually come up with a wicked plan to offer the savage Lao Ai.
Lao Ai was gifted, and he had sex with Lady Zhao every day. Lady Zhao had always agreed to his requests, and all the courtiers had joined Lao Ai. Lao Ai was even more arrogant and despotic. He was conferred the title of Marquis Changxin, and he even dared to call himself the fake father of the King of Qin. Lu Buwei was afraid of Lady Zhao's power, so he had another plan.
On the day when Zhao Zheng was twenty-two years old, he had returned the state affairs to him. He had long been unwilling to be humiliated. He was ordered by Lord Chang Ping to exterminate Lao Ai's rebellion and send Lu Buwei to Luoyang. Let him stay away from the government.
Zhao Zheng monopolized power and won over the Ying royal family. My brother Chengjiao was conferred the title of Lord Chang An, and I was conferred the title of Lord Yong.”
"Isn't this good? Why do you hate Zhao Zheng so much?”Qin Ying asked suspiciously.
"If that's all, my brother and I don't have much to ask for." Shun sighed. However, Zhao Zheng could not let go of the hatred of being humiliated by the King of Zhao back then, so he asked his brother to lead the army to attack Zhao for revenge.
Just as my elder brother was about to attack Zhao, he received a letter from a mysterious man, saying that Ying Zheng was the son of Lu Buwei and Lady Zhao. My elder brother was very suspicious. At this time, news came from Xianyang that my mother, Lady Han, had died suddenly in the palace.
Only then did his brother understand that Zhao Zheng was trying to take over his position. He was worried that his identity would be exposed and his throne would be stripped away by the Ying royal family. Therefore, he used the humiliation that the State of Zhao had given them to get rid of his brother, Cheng Jiao, who was the biggest threat to him.”
"Cheng Jiao can threaten Zhao Zheng's throne.”Qin Ying curled his lips in disdain and said," Qin Shi!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. Right now, Ying Zheng was just a King of Qin, not the First Emperor who ruled the world."Zhao Zheng is Zichu's son after all, what is Cheng Jiao to him? It's just a side branch of the Ying Clan."
"You don't understand." Shun was stunned.
"Understand what?" Qin Ying glanced at him.
"The late king of Zichu returned to Xianyang and married the princess of Han Country as his wife. My brother and I were the children of Empress Dowager Han. When Zhao Zheng returned, he was nine years old, my brother was six, and I was still in swaddling clothes.
If Lu Buwei had not brought Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng back, his brother Cheng Jiao would have been the Crown Prince of Great Qin.”Shun said coldly.
"Hold on, let me think. This relationship is a little messy." Qin Ying rolled over and got up. She sat opposite him and asked with a serious expression,""Mister Shun and Cheng Jiao are Zhao Zheng's brothers.”
"This one is not ashamed to be his brother. Zhao Zheng is merely a bastard child born from Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji's affair, while my brother Cheng Jiao and this one are the true Ying royal family.”Shun said disdainfully.
"May I know Mister Shun's real name?" Qin Ying seemed to have guessed something, but she was still suspicious.
"My surname is Zhao Shan Ying." "It's precisely because I'm a member of the Ying royal family that I ended up like this." Shun sighed and said sadly.”
"Why is that? It's not Mister Shun who wants to take back the throne.”Qin Ying said in surprise.
"Yes, at that time, I didn't know Zhao Zheng's true identity and treated him as my brother. I didn't expect you to acknowledge a thief as your brother." Shun's expression became even more sorrowful." My elder brother, Cheng Jiao, has stationed his troops. His subordinates are all brave warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty. He was going to send his troops back to Xianyang, but he didn't expect his deputy general Meng Wu to be Zhao Zheng's confidant. The Tiger Tally is also in his hands.
His brother's plan to return to attack Xianyang was discovered by him. He led the army to surround his brother, General Fan Yuqi, in Tunliu. At that time, only 300 men of sacrifice were left by his brother's side.”
Qin Ying was shocked when she heard this. There were only a few strokes in the history of this story, and it was obscure. She did not expect the real situation to be so complicated and strange.
"Luckily, there were many rumors in the army. Meng Wu didn't dare to kill the Ying royal family, so my brother and Fan Yuqi led 300 men of sacrifice to fight to the death and fled to Zhao.”"But Zhao Zheng refused to let the matter rest. He not only ordered Wang Jian and Meng Wu to attack Zhao." He even ordered the Yin Yang School and the Network Assassins to sneak into the State of Zhao and kill his brother. General Fan Yuqi did not know what to do.
In the imperial court, he also issued an edict to the Ying family that Wen could not go to court to be an official, and Wu could not enter the army to be a general. Because I am the direct descendant of the late King Zichu, I was sent to the Yin-Yang School and my memories were erased.”
Qin Ying looked at Shun in a daze. Her delicate face looked particularly ferocious under the moonlight. He didn't expect him to be that unlucky Qin San Shi.
But thinking about it, it made sense. The First Emperor died on the Eastern Patrol Road, and Huhai and Zhao Gao forged the imperial edict to steal the throne. It was precisely because the throne was not clear that after Huhai became the emperor, he began to slaughter his blood relatives. Seventeen brothers and more than twenty princesses were all killed by him.
It was because Zhao Ying was not a threat to his throne that he was spared from death. Later on, Huhai was killed by Zhao Gao and became the Qin Emperor. However, this Qin III was not a good person. When Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he actually brought the Emperor and Empress to surrender.
