Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is 239 BC, when King Yingzheng of Qin has reached the age of twenty-one and is about to perform the crown salute. The crown ceremony is a kind of Chinese national gift and a coming-of-age ceremony for Chinese men. For the emperor, the crown ceremony had a special significance. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the reigning king died, the heirs could ascend the throne regardless of whether they were old or young, but if they were minors, they could not be pro-government.

According to the weekly system, men perform crown salutes at the age of 20, but the princes of the Son of Heaven salute more early in order to take charge of state affairs as soon as possible. Legend has it that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of twelve, and King Cheng was crowned at the age of fifteen. In ancient times, the crown ceremony was held in the temple, the date was February, and within ten days before the crown, the recipient of the crown had to divinate the auspicious day, and if there was no auspicious day within ten days, the auspicious day of the next ten days was chosen. Then inform relatives and friends about the auspicious day. Three days before the crown ceremony, the guest who presided over the crown ceremony was selected by the Zheng method, and a person who "praised the crown" was selected to assist in the crown ceremony. During the salute, the host (usually the father of the crowned person), the guest and the crowned person wear a ceremonial dress. The first cloth crown was added, the second was awarded the leather ben, and finally the knighthood was awarded. After each crowning, the guests will read the congratulatory message to the crownee. The message of congratulations means: on this beautiful and auspicious day, I will add adult clothes to you; Please give up your children's ambitions and create adult sentiments; Maintain prestige and cultivate virtue; I wish you a long life and great blessings. The recipient then visits his mother.

In 239 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin was 21 years old and was about to become a pro-government, but at this time, a fierce court struggle was set off in the court of Qin.

At the beginning, Lü Buwei not only controlled the imperial court, but also had an affair with the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, and later saw that King Yingzheng of Qin was getting older, afraid of being discovered by him, and wanted to leave the Empress Dowager, and was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be resentful. Therefore, Lü Buwei pretended to be corrupted by his own disciples, and only plucked out his beard and eyebrows and offered them to the Queen Mother.

King Yingzheng of Qin is getting older, and Chang Yu and other ministers take the opportunity to say that the feng shui of the queen mother's bedroom is not good, and they should move out of here. King Yingzheng of Qin allowed them to move to the palace in Yongcheng, and as a result, the empress dowager gave birth to two illegitimate children.

In just a few years, Chang Yu was named the Marquis of Changxin with the help of the Queen Mother, and received Shanyang, Taiyuan and other places, and collected his own party members. Chang Yu operated in Yongcheng for many years and established a huge force, and was a powerful political force in the Qin State second only to Lü Buwei.

Chang Yu, a new powerful political force, has attracted the attention of many parties in the government and the opposition, and Chang Yu has been favored by the Queen Mother, and she is arrogant and lascivious in the palace, and it is inevitable that she will get carried away. Calling himself the "false father" of King Qin.

Chang Yu once drank and played games with the courtiers in the palace, and there was a quarrel. The drunk Chang Yu opened his eyes and shouted loudly to the other party: "My King of Qin's false father, how dare the son of a man be with me!" The meaning of this sentence is: "Lao Tzu is the stepfather of King Qin, who are you, poor ghost?" Dare to fight with me! The person who was scolded by Chang Yu quickly slipped away and reported the matter to King Yingzheng of Qin.

King Yingzheng of Qin sent someone to investigate privately. Many people accused Chang Yu of fornicating with the Queen Mother, having two sons, and conspiring with the Queen Mother: "The king is the queen, and the son is the queen." It means that Chang Yu said to the queen mother, and if the king is dead, let our children succeed to the throne.

At this time of sudden turmoil, King Yingzheng of Qin had a headache and ordered someone to recall Meng Yi to discuss countermeasures.

Xianyang, King Qin's study.

"What does Lü Buwei want to do? If it weren't for his connivance, how could a eunuch gather such a great deal of power in such a short period of time? King Yingzheng of Qin was furious.

"King, I'm afraid Lu Buwei also has a headache at this moment. Originally, he just wanted to take the opportunity to stay away from the entanglement of the Queen Mother, but he didn't want the Queen Mother to fall in love with Chang Yu, a person with ill intentions, and coerce Lü Buwei to be an official and a knight. Meng Yi pointed out the crux of the problem, "In fact, the key is that the king has not yet been in power, as long as the queen mother and Lu Xiangguo approve at the same time, anyone can be crowned as a marquis." ”

"Hmph, when the widow is in power, you must teach Chang Yu a good lesson!" King Yingzheng of Qin was furious, and his eyes became red. Even if Lü Buwei is ambitious, he has super governance ability, and he also loves Yingzheng very much.

But what is Chang Yu? He has arrogated himself as a false father!

"My lord, this person has no shame, and once he has a will, he has no one in his eyes. I've heard that he has recently been heavily populated in Yongcheng, and it's clear that he wants to start a rebellion while the king is crowning. King, don't be on guard! Meng Yi finally couldn't help but suggest. According to historical records, Chang Yu did launch a rebellion. It's just that I don't know if there is a dragon slayer king making trouble in it now, if Chang Yu is well prepared, will King Yingzheng of Qin still survive?

Meng Yi was distressed in his heart: Dragon Slayer, Dragon Slayer, I worked so hard to find you, where are you?

The army of the Qin state, in general, was placed under the strict control of the king of Qin, and in wartime generals were temporarily appointed to command the army, and the Qin state had generals and generals before and after, left and right. The army can be divided into three parts: Beijing division soldiers, local soldiers, and border soldiers. The soldiers of the Beijing division were mainly composed of lang officials, guards and garrison soldiers guarding the Beijing division. The Lang officials were led by Lang Zhongling, and the guards were led by the guard lieutenants, who were responsible for the guards inside and outside the palace. The garrison responsible for guarding the capital was commanded by the commander of Xianyang. Local soldiers are placed in counties and counties, and generally the county and county lieutenants (also known as metropolitan lieutenants) assist the county guards or county commanders to command, maintain local law and order in peacetime, and listen to the central government in wartime. The recruitment of local soldiers needs to be based on the "tiger talisman" of the king of Qin. The border soldiers are mainly responsible for the garrison of the border county, which is led by the border county guard, and has the command of the commander and the commander of the department.

Langguan General Yingliang, Weiwei General Yingjie, and Xianyang Duwei Yinghe are all loyal to Qin Wang Yingzheng, so there is no need to worry.

However, the black-clothed guard secretly guarded that the county lieutenants, county commanders, and county officials of Yongcheng were all bribed by Chang Yu and secretly ambushed 5,000 private soldiers.

And the successive Qin kings need to go to Yongcheng to worship their ancestors for crown salutes and official successions. So Chang Yu's trick is actually very poisonous!

Yongcheng, Qi Nian Palace.

"The widow has prepared 3,000 elite soldiers, will there be any accidents?" King Yingzheng of Qin was a little worried.

"King, if Chang Yu doesn't start a rebellion, how can you have a chance to pull him off the horse with Lü Buwei? After all, there is a queen mother, you don't have a suitable reason, you really can't move him? As for the private soldiers, which minister with a fief did not? Meng Yi asked with a smile. Of course, Meng Yi wisely did not mention the matter of Chang Yu fornicating with the Empress Dowager to give birth to two sons, this matter is a lifelong shame and rebellion for Yingzheng, and he will die if he touches it!

"What if I send someone to inform Changwen Jun Qi Ling and Changping Jun Qi Qi to lead the Xianyang soldiers to quell the rebellion? Will they also have the idea of rebellion? Qin Wang Yingzheng suddenly came up with a new idea.

"Well...... The Chang Wenjun brothers are cunning and cunning, and they will definitely not be fooled. Besides, even if they succeed, who can they support to be the new king? Meng Yi retorted sharply.

"How do you know if you don't try? In case they are hot-headed, the widow can get rid of the relatives surnamed Mi, Lu Buwei, Chang Yu and others by the way, wouldn't it be happy? "King Yingzheng of Qin has a great appetite, and it seems that the heroes of the world are just his own delicious snacks.

In April 238 B.C., Ying Zheng came to Yongcheng Qi Nian Palace to hold a crown ceremony, Chang Yu took advantage of Ying Zheng to stay in Yongcheng at night, stole the imperial seal of the Qin King and the Queen Mother, and transferred tens of thousands of people such as county soldiers, official cavalry guards, sheren and Rong Zhai Jungong to attack Qi Nian Palace.

But the tiger talisman had already been fully owned by King Yingzheng of Qin in a month, so Chang Yu at this moment was still a clown in the eyes of King Yingzheng of Qin.

The tiger talisman is a token of the ancient Chinese emperor's granting of military power to his subjects and the transfer of troops. Copper, tiger-shaped, divided into left and right halves, there are children and mothers can be combined. The right symbol is kept in the center, and the left symbol is in the hands of the generals. If the king sends someone to mobilize the army, he needs to bring the right talisman and hold the talisman to verify the fit, so that the generals can obey the order, and the army does not carry out the marching order of those who hold the emperor's golden talisman, except that the emperor personally comes to the scene to transfer troops. It flourished during the Warring States, Qin, and Han periods. However, there are also many cases in history where there are no tiger talismans and successful troops, and the laws of the Qin State stipulate that when there are more than 50 soldiers, the amulet must be presented. But in case of beacon fire, you don't need to match, you can also use soldiers.

Although the number of rebels was large, Qin Wang Yingzheng had already arranged 3,000 elite soldiers in the Qinian Palace, led by the Qin generals Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son, and easily defeated the rebel soldiers.

The three thousand Qin troops were clearly armored, sharply equipped, and blackened, murderous.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

On the other hand, the rebels were simply equipped and disorganized, and they rushed up to kill only by relying on individual bravery.

After the Qin army fired a flurry of crossbow arrows, the rebel offensive was defused.

Seeing this, Chang Yu was very helpless, so he simply transferred his troops to attack Xianyang Palace, but he didn't expect that there was already an army guarding there.

"This rebel army can't help fighting! I hope that the relatives surnamed Mi will give some strength, otherwise this farce will end prematurely. "King Yingzheng of Qin is a little excited, this is the first time he has directly watched the Qin army fight on the spot, and he doesn't want it to end so soon.

"The king may be disappointed, the strength of the relatives surnamed Mi has been greatly reduced now, where can he dare to have different intentions?" Meng Yi replied with a wry smile.

Yingzheng ordered Changwenjun Mi Ling and Changping Jun Mi Qi to lead the Xianyang soldiers to quell the rebellion, and the two armies fought in Xianyang. The king of Qin ordered: "All those who have military merits will be rewarded by the lord, and those who participate in the war will also be rewarded by the knight." ”

Hundreds of rebels were killed, Chang Yu's army was defeated, and he fled with his dead friends.

King Ying's decree issued to the whole country: "Those who capture the concubine alive will be given one million, and the one who kills the concubine will be given 500,000 yuan." ”

Chang Yu and his dead friends were wiped out, and King Yingzheng of Qin split Chang Yu and wiped out his three clans.

Twenty people, including Chang Yu's Dead Guard Wei Di, Nei Shi Shi, Zuo Ge Ji, and Zhong Dafu Ling Qi, followed Chang Yu's guests and gave up the lesser sin for the salaried person who served in the temple - the ghost salary; More than 4,000 people who committed serious crimes were seized and moved to Shu, and relocated to serve for three years.

The two sons of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and Chang Yu were all culled together. And the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was imprisoned in Yongcheng.

King Yingzheng of Qin clearly cut off the mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother and never see each other again, and explicitly ordered the courtiers to dare to advise the Queen Mother, "kill and kill them, and tribulus terrestris on their backs". As a result, twenty-seven ministers were brutally executed, and their bodies were hung on the palace walls for public display. As for the twenty-eighth minister, Mao Jiao, on the grounds that "if the king of Qin wants to unify the world, he needs to put filial piety first", and moved the king of Qin to take Zhao Ji back to Xianyang. Zhao Ji was finally able to enjoy her old age in peace.
