For a time, the power of Qin Guomi's relatives was greatly nervous, lest his powerful position be challenged.

The young Meng Yi had long listened to his father, General Meng Wu, analyze the domestic situation in Qin, and also understood why Lü Buwei was able to control the state affairs of Qin for more than ten years after Yingzheng ascended the throne.

At present, there are five major forces within the Qin State: the Ying clan, the relatives surnamed Mi, the military nouveau riche, the meritorious family, and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The first major force is the Ying clan, and the surname "Ying" is one of the eight surnames in ancient China (Jiang, Ji, Yao, Ying, Ji, Fei, Pregnancy, and Concubine). In that year, Yingkai saved Zhou Yougong, and was named a prince by King Zhou Ping, who was the Duke of Qin Xianggong and became the founder of the Qin State. After more than 30 generations and more than 600 years of inheritance, especially the accumulation of Ming monarchs such as Mu Gongying Renhao, Xiaogong Yingquliang, and Zhaoxiang Wang Yingze, Yingqin's power is growing day by day. Among them, Qin Mugong (Ying Renhao, the seventh grandson of Xianggong) made a small country develop into a large country in Xirong because of its emphasis on talents. Subsequently, Qin Xiaogong (Yingqu Liang, the fourteenth grandson of Mu Gong) reused the Shang seedling reform method, strengthened the centralization of power, rewarded farming and warfare, and became the first power of the Warring States. King Zhaoxiang (Yingji, the grandson of Xiaogong) complied with the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty and took the Jiuding treasures, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Great Qin Empire.

Just after many years of rectification by Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji, the power of the Ying clan has been greatly restricted, resulting in a sharp increase in the strength of relatives surnamed Mi.

The second major force is the relatives surnamed Mi, whose relatives originated from the intermarriage of Qin and Chu dynasties, so some relatives with the surname Mi have been reused, such as the Chu relatives led by the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan.

In addition to Qin Xuan's Empress Dowager Miyue, the most famous is this Mrs. Huayang.

Mrs. Huayang was born in Chu and was favored by the prince of Qin, An Guojun, but she had no son, and later under the promotion of Lü Buwei, she accepted another person as her heir. When Yiren succeeded to the throne as king, he was respected as the queen mother. Qin and Chu intermarried for generations, and most of the relatives of the ancestors of Chu were officials in Qin and enjoyed glory and wealth.

The Empress Dowager of Qin, Mrs. Huayang, heard that Zhao Ji had been a concubine of Lü Buwei, so she had deep doubts about the identity and bloodline of the eldest son Zhao Zheng, and in order to make the second son Cheng Jiao, who was related to her, the prince, the prince, regarded Zhao Ji's mother and son as enemies, and she wanted to get rid of them quickly. And Mrs. Huayang's two brothers, Changping Jun Qi and Changwen Jun Qiling, hope that their daughter Chu Ji can become the queen, and at the same time let her grandson Cheng Jiao become the prince of Qin.

The third major force is the new upstart of military merit, among which the Montessori father and son and the Wang father and son are the most popular.

The fourth major force is the meritorious family, which has experienced severe blows from several generations of Qin kings, and its power has been greatly reduced, and its influence on the military and government has been greatly weakened. But the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and with the inextricable relationship with the Ying clan, these meritorious clans are slowly regaining their strength. Among them, Feng Quji's brothers, Zhao Tuo, and Ren Huan are the leaders.

The fifth major force is the hundred schools of thought, among which Confucianism and Legalism are the most favored. Since the high-level leaders of the Qin State had decided to dominate the world with their abundant national strength, they attached great importance to these schools. And these schools already had the strength to influence the direction of the Qin dynasty. Lü Buwei, as a representative of the miscellaneous family, rose in the court of the Qin State.

At this time, the two teenagers are discussing the power struggle like adults.

Because the young Meng Yi and Wang's eldest son Yingzheng have experienced life and death, the relationship is very good. Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, has a lot of things that he has been discussing with the young Meng Yi.

"How do I become the crown prince of Qin? After all, only with the identity of the crown prince of Qin can I have my own power as soon as possible, and finally be able to take revenge. Wang's eldest son, Ying Zheng, stared at the young Meng Yi with his eyes and asked earnestly.

"Revenge?" The young Meng Yi's curiosity suddenly soared.

"Yes, revenge!" Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, gritted his teeth and said.

A piece of the past, a painstaking and unforgettable past finally surfaced......

"I, Yingzheng, swear not to take revenge in this life, and swear not to be a man!" A scarred, captured teenager roared.

Not far from him, a weak woman was being crushed and insulted by a gorgeously dressed man, and a group of guards around her were shouting foul language.

The weak woman was so coercive that she didn't dare to scold, for fear of killing herself and the young man, so she could only beg for mercy in a low voice.

Nine-year-old Wang Sun Yingzheng, the son of the current crown prince of Qin, has been under house arrest by the Zhao royal family for many years since he was born.

Qin and Zhao have been at odds for many years, especially in the Battle of Changping, when Zhao was killed by 400,000 soldiers. So this hapless proton is even more unpopular.

Just now, the maid of the young Wang Sun Yingzheng, the moving, gentle and lovely maid Su Er, was insulted by Zhao Yan, the prince of Zhao State, and was still in front of Yingzheng.

Although the young Wang Sun Yingzheng was held down by a soldier of Zhao Guo, he still kept scolding in his mouth.

"Don't tie him to a pillar, bring him here! If he refuses to watch the play, force him to watch with his eyes wide open! Zhao Yan, the crown prince of Zhao Kingdom, said with a wicked smile on his face, as if he was doing a great good deed.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not down! the little! ”

The young Wang Sun Yingzheng was angry and hot-headed, and he even roared angrily, "I, Yingzheng, swear not to avenge this in this life, and swear not to be a man!" ”

As soon as the words were finished, the young Wang Sun Yingzheng heard a sneer.

"Hmph, it's just a proton, this prince pinched you to death like an ant." Zhao Yan, the crown prince of Zhao State, opened his mouth and said with a cruel smile.

"That's it, that's it...... An ant can be blessed to watch the majestic scene of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is really a great honor for you kid. The accompanying attendant Guo Kai, a white-faced bearded attendant with a wicked smile, immediately kept flattering on the side.

Zhao Yan, the crown prince of Zhao State, just indulged in some indulgence, but still refused to give up.

Guo Kai, the attendant on the side, was naturally good at observing words and feelings, and hurriedly whispered in his ear.

"Okay, good idea, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together."

"Come, this little slut will be rewarded to you. If she's alive before dawn tomorrow, watch out for your heads. Zhao Yan, the crown prince of Zhao State, left this order, and then left with a heartfelt laugh.

Guo Kai, the accompanying attendant, naturally did not want to share the woman with a group of inferior soldiers, so he also brushed his sleeves away.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, for the reward!"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, this little slut will not survive tonight."

……

As soon as she heard that she was about to suffer an even more tragic fate, the maid Su'er was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

"Please spare me."

"Don't you have any sisters? Have mercy on me. ”

"Brute, let me go. You brutes don't die well!"

……

That night, the poor thirteen-year-old maid Su Er was humiliated by the soldiers of Zhao State in turn, and was finally tortured and killed!

"Stop, you brutes, I'm going to kill you all!"

"Ah, Su'er, I'm sorry for you! I will avenge you! ”

After speaking, the sad and indignant young man Wang Sun Yingzheng took advantage of the moment when the soldiers of Zhao Guo on the left were sleepy and bit off the other party's ear. Finally, the escaped young man Wang Sun Yingzheng rushed over to take revenge by the sword, but was kicked out by the soldiers of Zhao who were screaming in pain and hit the wall pillar.

"It's not good, someone died, Qin Guo's proton is dead! ……”

"Hurry up and report to your lordship! Hurry up and report to your lordship! ……”

Suddenly, in the middle of the night, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the Proton Mansion.
