"You're not asleep, are you?" Ying Zheng pushed Ju Zizhou, who was sleeping beside him, and asked.

"Don't be afraid." In the darkness, Ju Zizhou replied softly: "At least tonight, that group of rangers will not come again." ”

"I'm not sleepy right now...... You're not sleepy, are you?" Ying Zheng asked.

"If you're not sleepy, go to bed early, you might have to go tomorrow." Ju Zizhou said.

"But I can't sleep." Ying Zheng said.

In a room with a strong smell of blood, he couldn't sleep.

"Ugh." Ju Zizhou sighed, got up in the dark and lit the oil lamp.

A light like a bean, under the dim candle flame, Ying Zheng watched Ju Zizhou sitting beside him with an iron sword in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally had some sense of security in his heart.

"Those rangers are really hateful!" Ying Zheng said angrily: "In the future, I will become the king of Qin, and I will plan to kill all the rangers!" ”

Ju Zizhou glanced at Yingzheng, the nine-year-old child's face was small and delicate, his face was full of resentment and fear, which was really pitiful.

At this time, it was 251 AD, and Ying Zheng was nine years old at the time, and he had just embarked on the road, preparing to return to Qin from Zhao.

However, since the Battle of Changping eleven years ago, there has been an indelible blood feud between Zhao and Qin - that is, a blood feud between 400,000 Zhao soldiers who were killed by the pit.

Eleven years is not enough for all the parents and friends who died, nor is it enough for people to forget the blood feud of their loved ones being killed.

The Zhao people were extremely resentful of the Qin people at this time, and they hated every Qin person in their field of vision, especially a young, incapable and illustrious Qin person.

Obviously, Yingzheng is this Qin person.

Ying Zheng's father was the son of Qin and the future king of Qin, Qin Yiren.

Killing the alien in Xianyang is as difficult as a sky for the rangers of Zhao State; But killing Yingzheng in Handan is very simple.

In the past, he didn't kill because Yingzheng's mother Zhao Ji's maiden Zhao family had a strong power in Handan, and now that he has broken away from Handan, he has walked out of the protection of the Zhao family.

So the attack came naturally, and even Yingzheng was not surprised at all.

——Half an hour ago, two big men came with swords in the night, and then they used their lives to verify the performance of Ju Zizhou's homemade iron crossbow.

"Zizhou, you say...... I really...... Can you be the King of Qin? Ying Zheng asked suddenly, and her beautiful little face was stunned at this time: "I have never seen my father...... Surely he wouldn't have pampered me much...... It is impossible for an unfavored son to become the king of Qin......"

Ying Zheng's consideration also makes some sense.

When he was a child, Qin Yiren returned to Qin with the help of Lu Buwei, and the father and son had not seen each other for many years.

Therefore, even if Qin Yiren is about to succeed to the throne of King Qin now, it is not very likely that Yingzheng will return to Qin and become the crown prince.

Ju Zizhou thought for a while and asked, "Yingzheng, what do you think...... What are the necessary conditions to become the king of Qin? ”

"Father's favor." Ying Zheng replied.

He was a little unsure.

Ju Zizhou smiled and patted Ying Zheng's head gently, and the eyes of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old man burst out with wisdom that did not match his age: "King Qin's personal likes and dislikes never matter!" ”

"What?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Ju Zizhou smiled and further explained: "King Qin's personal likes and dislikes can't affect the overall situation of the Qin State, let alone your being the next King of Qin!"

As a visitor from later generations, although Ju Zizhou does not know much about history, he can be sure of one thing - Ying Zheng will become the king of Qin.

Even, he will not only become the king of Qin, but also become the first emperor of Qin who will be famous for the ages!

When Ying Zheng heard Ju Zizhou's words, he was very puzzled and dazed, he couldn't tell whether Ju Zizhou was comforting himself with lies.

Ju Zizhou saw Yingzheng's expression, and was overjoyed: I finally waited for the opportunity!

"Ying Zheng, do you know where King Qin's power comes from?"

Ying Zheng subconsciously replied: "Because of the surname given by birth, he is born noble!" ”

Giving a surname by birth is the truth of the way of the world today.

Although the etiquette collapsed, the bloodline nobles are still the controllers of this world, and the winning surname of the Qin royal family is passed down from Yin Shang.

Ju Zizhou replied contemptuously: "Wrong! ”

"Wrong?" Ying Zheng was a little puzzled: "Why?" ”

"In this world, whoever has the big fist will talk and count! Whoever speaks counts, has power! It has nothing to do with blood! ”

"The reason why King Zhao wants to let your mother and son go back to Qin is because the military strength of Qin is much stronger than Zhao!"

"That'...... The power of the King of Qin came from the military strength of the Qin State? Ying Zheng asked.

"Still not right!" Ju Zizhou asked, "With the power of one husband, how can the King of Qin make the thousands of tigers and wolves of the Qin State obey him?" Could it be that King Qin's fist was bigger than all the people in the Qin State combined? ”

"This can't be ......" Although Ying Zheng didn't know how big his father's fist was, he knew very well that in this world, no one could subdue a country, the kidney-deficient King Zhao of Zhao couldn't do it, and of course the Qin King of Qin couldn't.

"Why is that?" After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said: "Because King Qin has a thousand-time wealth? ”

"That's not right!" Ju Zizhou said: "Since the King of Qin does not have the personal strength to suppress the Qin people, why don't the Qin people unite to rob the King of Qin of all the thousand-times wealth, but sell their lives for him in exchange for a little wealth from him?" ”

"Eleven years ago, Bai Qi subdued the world by force, why, couldn't he lead the Qin people to rebel and become the king of Qin himself?"

"Is this ......" Ying Zheng was asked for a moment.

yes, why?

Based on Yingzheng's life experience, he feels that the conclusion that whoever has the biggest fist counts should be correct.

But why is King Qin's fist small but still supreme?

Ying Zheng didn't understand.

So he set his eyes on Ju Zizhou: "Why? ”

Ju Zizhou smiled: "Because the relationship is like this!" Because the Qin people recognized the existence of their relationship, the Qin king was supreme, while the ordinary Qin people could only bow down and exchange their lives for a little wealth rewarded by the Qin king. ”

"Relationship?" Ying Zheng was even more puzzled.

"Why did your mother willingly leave you delicious mutton? Because you are in a mother-child relationship, if you are not in a mother-child relationship. It's the relationship between an ordinary woman and a child, so will your mother still leave the lamb to you? ”

"No!" Ying Zheng shook his head.

"Why did your grandfather take such a risk to hide you and your mother in his house? For your grandfather and your mother were father and daughter. If the relationship between them is not that of father and daughter, but of an ordinary relationship between an old man and a woman, will he still hide you? ”

"No, it won't." Ying Zheng shook his head.

"Why would your husband be willing to spend time and effort teaching you "poems" and "books"?" Ju Zizhou asked.

"Because...... Master-apprentice relationship? Ying Zheng's eyes were bright.

"Why are the Zhao people hostile to you?" Ju Zizhou asked again.

"Qin-Zhao relationship!" Ying Zheng was thoughtful.

"King Zhao is weak, why do the strong people of Zhao want to see him bow down?"

"Relationship between the monarch and the minister!" Ying Zheng didn't think twice.

"Then why, your father can be the king of Qin?"

"Because the Qin people recognize the relationship between them as kings and ministers!" Ying Zheng replied immediately.

"If you want to become the King of Qin, what do you only need to do?"

"Let the Qin people recognize the relationship between me and them!" Ying Zheng's eyes widened.

His mind was completely drawn to the word "relationship."

Everything we saw in the past seemed to have a silk thread called "relationship" between them.

Because of this thread, parents love their children, so the strong obey the weak, so strangers are friendly to each other, so people who don't know each other can share the same bowl of wine......

The world is reconstructed in front of my eyes, the wind and thunder are stirring in my ears, and all the fog seems to be able to be lifted at will.

A voice came from the dark sky: "This is the ...... Relations! ”
