Chu Country, Shouchun.
King Chu Xiong Wan passed the letter to Chun Shenjun and Huang Xie.
"Qi 'er has sent a letter. The King of Qin has eliminated Lao Ai and dismissed Prime Minister Lu Buwei.”
"Empress Dowager Hua Yang asked me to send Mi Jiang to Xianyang to marry the King of Qin.”
"What do you think?" Xiong Wan asked.
Huang Xie, Lord Chunshen, was one of the four sons of the world.
At the same time, after Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, was assassinated four years ago, he became the only remaining young master.
Back then, it was Huang Xie who had helped him return from the State of Qin and become the King of Chu.
Hence, Xiong Wan trusted Huang Xie very much.
The relationship between the two of them was like that between Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren.
After Huang Xie finished reading the letter from the Lord of Changping, Xiong Qi, his eyes flashed.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Hua Yang's plan is brilliant.”
"The King of Qin has been enduring for eight years. Once he made his move, he created the Black Ice Platform, got rid of Lao Ai, and seized power from Lu Buwei.”
"Looking at all these actions, the current King of Qin is probably even more difficult to deal with than King Zhuang Xiang of Qin.”
"However, now that the Great Qin Imperial Court is vacant, it is time for Lord Chang Ping to exert his strength.”
"If Qin and Chu are connected by marriage, there will be Empress Dowager Huayang and Princess Mi Jiang inside, and the Lord of Changping, Xiong Qi, outside.”
"This plan is extremely beneficial to our Chu Country. Please agree to Empress Dowager Hua Yang's words.”
Huang Xie cupped his hands and said to Lord Chu.
"In that case, we will do as you say and send Princess Mi Jiang to Xianyang without delay.”
……
Ying Zheng did not care about the reactions of the imperial clans of the six dynasties and the Hundred Schools of Thought towards Great Qin.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Ying Zheng immediately gave the order. Wang Jian led fifty thousand armored soldiers, and Meng Wu led fifty thousand Golden Fire Cavalrymen, to guard both sides of the city as they marched towards Yong City.
Lao Ai's forces had almost been wiped out, and Lu Buwei was powerless to turn the tables.
As such, this trip was extremely peaceful and there was not a single ripple.
After that, under Feng Chang's leadership, Ying Zheng offered sacrifices to the previous kings of the Great Qin Empire, officially crowned himself and took charge of the government.
From now on, Ying Zheng was the true ruler of Great Qin.
"I am Ying Zheng."
On the sacrificial altar, Ying Zheng was wearing a Xuan Bird Royal Robe, a flat crown on his head, and the Sword of Duke Mu of Qin on his waist. He looked determined as he gazed at the endless crowd below.
"Ten thousand years for Great Qin, ten thousand years for Great King…"
Below the altar, the officials and the army of 100,000 bowed down in unison. The sound of a tsunami spread in all directions.
As the deafening shouts echoed in his ears, Ying Zheng looked at the endless mountains and rivers, his blood boiling.
"This is my kingdom."
……
After resting in Yong City for a day, the convoy changed direction and returned to Xianyang.
After that, without hesitation, Ying Zheng immediately summoned the three dukes and nine ministers, and issued the king's order after he took over the government.
One was the recruitment order, facing the nine provinces.
The Great Qin Dynasty will set up a recruitment hall in Xianyang City. All the talented people in the nine states can come here.
Regardless of background or past, as long as one had a skill, they could enter the recruitment hall to recommend themselves.
In addition, if anyone could offer a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the King of Qin would worship him as a high minister on the spot, and he would not be stingy with his rewards.
The second is to encourage farming. The foundation of a country lies in farming. The King of Qin encouraged farming. If anyone could create new farm tools and increase the land production, he would pay thousands of gold to the emperor. It was not a problem to promote officials and titles.
Under Ying Zheng's orders, the two Royal Orders were quickly sent to Great Qin and the entire world.
Among them, the intelligence network of the Network played a huge role.
In addition, Ying Zheng carried out a drastic reform in the Imperial Court, removing all of Lu Buwei's duties, splitting the power of the Prime Minister, and re-establishing the Left and Right Prime Ministers.
Appointed Changping Jun as the right prime minister, Yu Shi Da Fu Kui shape as the left prime minister.
Feng Quji, the governor of the censor, reported his meritorious service and was promoted to the rank of censor.
The old Tingwei was old and had a chronic illness. The emperor asked him to retire, and Ying Zheng agreed. Considering his hard work and high achievements, he was promoted to the title of young emperor and returned to his hometown to recuperate.
He was promoted to the rank of Chief Justice.
In addition, Dr. Wang Wan, imperial clan Ying Huan, Ying Yun and other people have been rewarded.
In this way, the entire Great Qin Imperial Court would be completely controlled by Ying Zheng.
Powerful officials like Wei Ran and Lu Buwei would never appear again.
……
The Prime Minister's Residence.
Lu Buwei dismissed many of his henchmen and guards. Only a few, such as Sima Kong, were grateful for Lu Buwei's kindness and were unwilling to leave.
"What a pity."
Lu Buwei sat in front of a pile of bamboo slips, caressing and reading them carefully with a desolate expression.
These were Lu Buwei's Spring and Autumn Annals, a book compiled by the three thousand followers and the essence of the various schools of thought.
It was a pity that such a masterpiece would be buried under the ground with him.
"Lord Marquis, the Great King has arrived."
Sima Kong hurried into the room and reported to Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei's position as Prime Minister had been removed, and he only had the title of Marquis Wenxin.
Therefore, Sima Kong was only called a noble.
"The king is here? Follow me to welcome them."
Lu Buwei nodded, neither happy nor sad. He stood up, tidied his clothes, and took the lead to welcome them.
Lu Buwei had long since prepared for his own fate.
He was not afraid of death.
He could only hope that he would not end up like Lao Ai.
Not long after, Lu Buwei saw Dunruo and Ying Zheng, who had come with his henchmen.
"This subject Lu Buwei welcomes Your Majesty.”
Lu Buwei tidied up his clothes and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng.
"Marquis Wenxin, you don't have to be so polite. I was too bored in the palace, so I came out for a walk. I happened to pass by the Prime Minister's residence and came in to take a look.”Ying Zheng said.
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? There is no place under the heavens that is not the land of the king. It is Lu Buwei's fortune that Your Majesty is able to come here.”
Lu Buwei's expression remained unchanged as he led the way respectfully, bringing Ying Zheng to the room they had just been in.
At this moment, Lu Buwei's few henchmen had arrived and were standing outside the door with Sima Kong.
"Lu Chunqiu?"
Ying Zheng was kneeling on the main seat. He saw the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lü family piled up on the wooden table and picked them up.
"If you want to know the straightness, you must use a yardstick. If you want to know the circumference, you must use rules.”
"You can know people by observing yourself, and you can know the present by observing the past.”
"A foot of wood must have a function, and an inch of jade must have a flaw.”
……
"That's right. This book draws on Yin and Yang, Confucianism, Taoism, the name of the military and agriculture, and other theories of the various schools of thought.”
Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips on the wooden table and praised.
"Your Majesty, do you really think so?”
Surprisingly, Lu Buwei was no longer modest. Instead, he looked at Ying Zheng with bright and expectant eyes.
"Yes."
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and nodded slowly.
"That's good."
Lu Buwei was delighted, and then he kneeled on the ground before Ying Zheng and said,
"I, Lu Buwei, know that I have sinned greatly and that my death is not worthy of pity. However, this book is innocent. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me and hide this book in the palace.”
"If the King allows it, Lu Buwei is willing to die without any resentment.”
"Lord Marquis…"
Outside the door, many of the hanger-ons were overwhelmed with emotions. They knelt in front of the door and shouted in unison,
"Please forgive this book, Your Majesty. We are willing to go to the Yellow Springs with Marquis Wenxin to resolve Your Majesty's hatred.”
[Note: The new book period will be updated with five chapters and ten thousand words every day. In addition, I'm asking for some flowers, evaluation tickets, and all kinds of tickets.]
