Empress Dowager Xuan was the prototype of Mi Yue in a TV series. She was a powerful woman like Empress Dowager Lu of the Han Dynasty, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and Empress Dowager Liao of the Liao Kingdom.
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Xuan had a male escort like Concubine Zhao. However, Concubine Zhao was inferior to Empress Dowager Xuan in every other aspect except for the male escort.
Back then, Empress Dowager Xuan herself was an expert of the Great Grandmaster. Although she was a Grandmaster of the Chu Country, when King Zhaoxiang of Qin ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xuan ruled as the Empress Dowager. During her reign, she attacked and destroyed the Yiqu Country, eliminating the great disaster in the west of the Qin Country in one fell swoop. Other than that, she also made many other contributions.
Empress Dowager Xuan had only adopted a male escort after her husband, King Huiwen, died, and she had done so openly. But who dared to say anything against her?
The Great Qin Imperial Clan pretended not to see it. Although King Zhaoxiang had some objections, that was all.
Because compared to Empress Dowager Xuan's contribution, her actions of raising a male escort were too insignificant.
At this moment, the one standing behind Ying Zheng on the right was Empress Dowager Huayang, the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Xuan, and on the left behind him was Lady Zhao.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang was also a member of the royal family of Chu State and was the leader of this generation's relatives.
The two of them looked at Lao Ai, who was tied up, with different expressions. Empress Dowager Hua Yang had a relieved look on her face, while Lady Zhao's face was extremely ugly. She had already ruined Lao Ai's child, but now, she had to watch the father of the child in her stomach being torn apart and killed.
On the side of the Great Qin Imperial Clan, Cheng Jiao was standing at the front, and he was also Ying Zheng's younger brother. Ying Zheng looked over and saw a fawning look in Cheng Jiao's eyes, but he immediately lowered his head to show his respect.
Ying Zheng sneered in his heart. If he followed the course of history, he would order Cheng Jiao to lead his army to attack the State of Zhao two years later. Cheng Jiao would rebel brazenly, and Ying Zheng would kill a large number of old Qin generals who followed him.
After that, he put the Guandong generals, led by Meng Tian, in an even more important position to command the army. As a result, the old Qin people and the king were extremely close and never returned. They were suspicious of each other.
After Great Qin unified the six countries, there were no longer any old Qin generals or civil officials in the royal court. The Chu faction controlled the government, while the Guandong faction generals led the army.
Later on, when the Great Qin Empire was in turmoil, the old Qin people watched coldly and did not help, causing the Great Qin Empire to be destroyed.
Ying Zheng then turned to look at Lord Changping, the leader of the imperial court of Chu State. His surname was Mi, and his surname was Xiong. His name was Qi, and he was the son of King Kaolie of Chu State. His mother was the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin State.
Speaking of which, Lord Changping was Ying Zheng's uncle. During the reign of King Zhuang Xiang of Qin, he was trusted and put in an important position. Later on, when Lu Buwei was removed from the position of Prime Minister, it was Lord Changping who took over the position.
Later on, he rebelled against Qin in Ying and Chen. Lord Changping was appointed as the King of Chu by Xiang Yan (Xiang Yu's grandfather) and led the Chu army to resist Qin. Of course, he was defeated by Wang Jian and Meng Wu in the end and died.
Ying Zheng sighed in his heart. In the entire Imperial Court of Qin State, including Lao Ai who was tied up, there were actually three leaders of the rebellion. The Qin State, which looked extremely powerful on the outside, actually looked like it was in a precarious situation in Ying Zheng's eyes.
"Zheng 'er, why did you call this widow over and gather so many officials and imperial clan members?”Old Empress Hua Yang was the first to ask.
Ying Zheng slightly turned his body and said," Grandma, someone broke into my bedroom yesterday, and spread my will, asking me to make him a marquis. After he was discovered, he immediately assassinated the king and killed him. Today, I have gathered everyone here to deal with this person, as a warning to others."”
Old Lady Hua Yang glanced at Lady Zhao and said lightly,""It seems that you are referring to Lao Ai, Zheng 'er.”
Zhao Ji lowered her head slightly, her face was gloomy, as if she was out of sight and out of mind.
Ying Zheng turned around and looked at Lu Buwei,""Minister Lyu, according to the laws of Qin, what kind of contribution is required to be conferred the title of Marquis? Is Lao Ai's contribution enough to make him a marquis?"
" According to the Great Qin's twenty ranks of military merits and titles system," Lu Buwei said calmly," Lao Ai cannot even be conferred as a duke.”
Great Qin had a 20-rank military merit title system, and Dukes were the lowest rank, while the highest rank was Marquis.
Ever since Shang Yang had established the rank 20 military titles, only three people had been conferred the title of Marquis. They were Shang Yang, Wei Ran, and Fan Sui. These three people had all contributed greatly to the war and were thus conferred the title of Marquis.
Right, Lu Buwei was also conferred the title of Marquis.
Lao Ai looked anxious, his eyes filled with a pleading look, and his mouth was screaming," Ah! Ah!", hoping that Lady Zhao would save him. However, his tongue had been cut off, so he could not utter a single word.
"This person even claimed to be my fake father, damaging my reputation and embarrassing the Great Qin Imperial Clan. Should I kill him?”
"He deserves to be killed!" Cheng Jiao walked out and said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said," Ever since the reform of Lord Shang, the strength of the Great Qin Empire has greatly increased. The soldiers have fought bravely and fearlessly, and have helped the Great Qin Empire to seize more than a thousand miles of fertile land.”
"The foundation of all this is nothing more than the military merit system. This is what the soldiers rely on. Soldiers fight bloody battles on the battlefield. Even so, few people are conferred the title of Marquis. If one day, someone can be conferred the title of Marquis without relying on the military merit system, how can the soldiers not be disappointed?”
"This is destroying Great Qin's foundation! It was simply a heinous crime! Too many to count!"
Wang Jian and Meng Ao glared at Lao Ai and shouted angrily,""He deserves to be killed!"
"He deserves to be killed!"
"He deserves to be killed!"
Many of the military officials agreed. Half of them were acting, and the other half were sincere.
Looking at Lao Ai who was gradually losing all hope, Ying Zheng said indifferently,""Lao Ai, if you want to be conferred the title of Marquis without making any contributions, you are destroying the foundation of Great Qin. According to the laws of Great Qin, you should be killed by a chariot!”
"You barged into my bedroom and tried to assassinate me when you couldn't get what you wanted.”
"With so many crimes added up, Minister Lu, what crime should you commit?”
Lu Buwei's eyelids twitched violently as he suppressed the throbbing in his heart.""Exterminate three clans! He died from a car crack!"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"Execution!"
Lu Buwei shouted, and the ten executioners immediately stepped forward.
