Chapter 122: Returning the Body

The land of Shenqi, the capital of Zhongyang.

Zhao Jia looked at the information in his hand, but his eyes showed a look of exhaustion.

These days, Qin Guo's fine work has spread messages everywhere in Zhao State, almost lifting Zhao Jia to the sky.

Qin Guo's move certainly made Zhao Jia's prestige soar, and everyone in Zhao Guo knew the name of Gongzi, and also made many talented people come to Zhao Jia.

There are pros and cons to everything.

As the eldest grandson of the king, Zhao Jia has already achieved great success at a young age, and there are even rumors everywhere that King Zhao wants to pass the throne to Zhao Jia from generation to generation.

King Zhao is old and has not long to live, so he doesn't care if Zhao Jia will threaten his position.

Zhao Yan is different.

He has been the crown prince for so many years, and he has finally come to the end, so it is naturally impossible to watch the throne being taken away by others.

Even if the person who took the throne was Zhao Yan's son, he couldn't.

During this time, Zhao Jia relied on breaking the power of the 100,000 Qin army, and even Zhao Yan did not dare to make any small moves easily.

It's just that Zhao Jia can feel that there are wind and waves in the calm.

This wind and waves are turbulent, not even less than facing the army of the Qin State, and if he is not careful, Zhao Jia will be crushed.

"Childe, Childe, Prince Chu of Qin died violently!"

Just when Zhao Jia was frowning, he suddenly saw Sima Shang running in in a hurry, with a joy on his face that could not be concealed.

"King Qin died violently?"

Zhao Jia raised his head, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhao Jia had long known that Zi Chu had died after only three years of inheriting the throne, so he had long expected Zi Chu's death.

However, when he suddenly heard the news of Zi Chu's death, Zhao Jia still felt a little puzzled in his heart.

According to the news that he heard carefully, although Prince Qin's body is not strong, he is not weak, and now he is thirty-five years old and in the prime of life, so there is no reason to die violently.

In his previous life, there were too many speculations about the violent death of Prince Chu of Qin.

The vast majority of speculations believe that Zichu did not die well, and that there must be an unknown reason for his death.

What do you say?

Historically, in March and April of the third year of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, the prince of Qin Chu also sent Meng Fu to attack Wei, which eventually led to the combination of the five kingdoms to break the Qin army.

In May, Prince Chu of Qin died violently.

In other words, there was only a two-month gap between the time Zichu sent Meng Fu to attack Wei to the death of King Qin.

If Zichu's health is very poor and he has reached the point of dying, it is unlikely that he will send Meng to attack Wei in March and April.

Then Zi Chu's violent death is indeed very funny.

In this era, due to the appearance of Zhao Jia, the battle of Hezong was advanced, and the prince of Qin, Chu, also lived a few months longer than in history.

"What happened in the meantime?"

Zhao Jia's right hand fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, making a 'tuk tuk' sound, but his thoughts drifted far away.

"Is there any news other than this?"

Sima Shang looked at Zhao Jia's calm appearance, but he was secretly surprised.

During this time, although the Qin State did not send troops to attack the land of Shenqi, it sent people to befriend Zhao Jia as much as possible, and even praised Zhao Jia to the sky.

Rao is like this, Sima Shang is still faintly worried in his heart.

But now, the prince of Qin, Chu, died violently, and Yingzheng, who was only thirteen years old, inherited the throne, and the Qin state will be much more peaceful for at least a few years.

These years have been extremely important for both Zhao Guo and Zhao Jia.

Although Sima Shang was puzzled in his heart, he still replied: "The prince of Qin, Chu, died violently, and his son Yingzheng succeeded to the throne, respecting Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei as the middle father, Lü Buwei monopolized power, cut off dissidents in the court, and several Qin nobles were destroyed. ”

Zhao Jia heard Sima Shang's report, but he was silently thinking about it in his heart.

"The prince of Qin, Chu, died violently, Yingzheng was only thirteen years old, and Yingzheng ascended the throne, and Lü Buwei became Yingzheng's middle father, eliminating dissidents and monopolizing power."

"These things come together and seem to be able to evoke reverie."

"Could it be that Ying Zheng is the son of Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji as guessed by later generations, and Zi Chu, who was in the prime of life, got the news and was worried that Lü Buwei, who was killed, would preemptively kill Qin Prince Chu and set up his son Ying Zheng as king?"

"Or is it that Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji's affair was discovered by King Qin, so he made the first move?"

These speculations seem a bit absurd, but when you think about it, it is not impossible.

Zhao Jia got up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and only stopped after a while.

He turned his head to look at Sima Shang, and said in a deep voice: "You choose reliable and meticulous works, bring 10,000 gold into Qin to buy Lü Buwei's political enemies, and make them attack Lü Buwei in the court, and spread messages everywhere in Xianyang City, saying that Lü Buwei and the Empress Dowager of Qin Zhao Ji are in harmony, and the Qin King Yingzheng is actually Lü Buwei's flesh and blood." ”

"Spread a message again, saying that the prince of Qin Chuzi died violently, and it was also because he learned that Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji were having a relationship, and Lü Buwei was worried about being liquidated, so he took the risk of killing King Qin and helping his own flesh and blood to ascend the throne."

After hearing Zhao Jia's words, Sima Shang was immediately dumbfounded, his throat kept rolling, and he secretly swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, which barely stabilized his mind.

It is no wonder that Sima Shang has such a reaction, these news can be roughly divided into three.

First: Lü Buwei had an affair with Zhao Ji, the empress dowager of Qin.

Second: Prince Chu of Qin was secretly killed by Lü Buwei.

Third: The newly established Qin Wang Yingzheng is Lü Buwei's flesh and blood.

The three pieces of news, no matter which one is confirmed to be true, can be regarded as a big scandal, which is enough to disgrace the entire Qin royal family.

Especially the third news, it will shake the entire Qin State clan.

They would definitely not allow someone who did not belong to the bloodline of the Qin State to serve as the king of Qin, and Sima Shang could even predict how much shock it would bring to the Qin State when the news spread in the Qin State.

"Is this all true?"

Sima Shang stared at Zhao Jia and asked cautiously.

"Heavy?"

Zhao Jia didn't say anything, just asked Sima Shang lightly.

Sima Shang was a little stunned at first when he heard this, then gave Zhao Jia a deep salute, and then turned to leave.

Whether these three messages are true or not is not so important.

As long as the news spreads in the Qin State, even if it is all made up by Zhao Jia, it will bring great trouble to Lü Buwei and Yingzheng.

If Lü Buwei is in trouble, he will no longer have the energy to deal with Zhao Guo.

What's more, although Zhao Jia has no definite evidence for these three things, they are not necessarily untargeted.

At the very least, Lü Buwei did have an affair with Zhao Ji, the empress dowager of Qin, and the death of Prince Chu of Qin was indeed a bit strange.

There is no need for very conclusive evidence, as long as the Qin State Sect is suspicious, it is enough to make Lü Buwei recover.

"Lü Buwei, Lü Buwei, if you want to get rid of me with the power of the Zhao Dynasty, then don't blame me for being the same as others and governing others."

Anti-intermittent strategy, but not only Lu Buwei will use it.

"I'd like to see if you can survive this!"

After Zhao Jiamu sent Sima Shang away, he walked to the door and looked into the distance, muttering in a low voice.
