Chapter 1 Take power and unify the world
In 247 BC, King Xiang of Qin Zhuang died, and Yingzheng, who was only thirteen years old, was taken back to Qin to ascend the throne as king, called King of Qin. At this time, LΓΌ Buwei was the prime minister, sealed 100,000 households, called Wenxin Marquis, and was good at power, and when Yingzheng ascended the throne, due to his youth, the national affairs were controlled by Xiangbang LΓΌ Buwei, and respected LΓΌ Buwei as the middle father.
LΓΌ Buwei not only controlled the imperial court, but also had an affair with the Queen Mother (Zhao Ji), and his own guest Chang Yu pretended to be corrupted, and only plucked out his beard and eyebrows and offered them to the Queen Mother for her lewd pleasure. Later, seeing that Qin Wangzheng was getting older, they were afraid that he would find out, so they lied to him that the feng shui of the queen mother's bedroom was not good, and he should move out of here. King Qin Zhengxin thought it was true, so they moved to the palace in Yongxian County, and as a result, the Queen Mother gave birth to two illegitimate sons, and the fake eunuch Chang Yu also regarded himself as the fake father of King Qin, and was named Changxin Hou with the help of the Queen Mother, and received Shanyang, Taiyuan and other places, and collected his own henchmen. 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 LΓΌ Buwei.
Chang Yu got the right, the status was inevitably villainous, offended the ministers of the court, the minister secretly found an opportunity to tell the relationship between Chang Yu and the Queen Mother to the King of Qin, the King of Qin was very angry when he learned about it, Chang Yu panicked, and prepared to rebel.
In 238 B.C., the Qin Dynasty held a crown ceremony in the Yongcheng Qinian Palace. Chang Yu used the imperial seal of the king of Qin and the seal of the empress dowager to launch a rebellion and attack the palace of Qinian. Qin Wangzheng had already arranged 3,000 elite soldiers in the Qinian Palace to defeat the rebels. Chang Yu turned to Xianyang Palace, where there was already an army, Chang Yu fled alone, and was arrested not long after. The prince of Qin will tear the car apart and expose the corpse to the public; and imprisoned his mother Zhao Ji in Yongcheng's Mingyang Palace; fell to death the two illegitimate children born to Chang Yu and the Queen Mother. The following year, the Qin Dynasty dismissed LΓΌ Buwei from his post and exiled LΓΌ Buwei to Bashu. LΓΌ Buwei knew that his relationship with the King of Qin was irretrievable, and committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.
After King Yingzheng of Qin took power, he appointed Wei Yi and Li Si and others to actively implement the strategy of unification and began his hegemony of unifying the six countries.
After the 26th year of the reign of King Qin and the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the title of king was not enough to show his business, but he was called the emperor and was the first emperor of Qin. And continue to implement the Legalist policy of Shang Yang since the reform of filial piety, strengthen the absolute monarchy, weaken the power of the old aristocracy, and promote the nobles who have risen from military merits.
Qin Shi Huang 35 years Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng established Afang Palace, watching the palace of the eyes built little by little, Yingzheng's eyes through the unpredictable look, but still a little people who know Yingzheng's past know that Afang Palace, Afang, the beautiful and kind medicine picker Afang, in line with the benevolence of the doctor to help the world and save people, would rather sacrifice personal happiness and life in exchange for the eternal peace and health of countless Li people and society and hanged himself Afang, although it has passed away, but it remains in the heart of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng.
Outside Xianyang City, a carriage went slowly, there was an old man and a beautiful woman sitting on the car, when passing through a bamboo forest, suddenly a group of thieves killed the coachman, and pulled the old man off the car, and the woman who was traveling with him was also rudely dragged off the carriage, and the thieves looted all the money.
"Father." The woman was scared and pulled the old man beside her and called.
"Don't be afraid, Jiang'er." The old man trembled his hands and comforted the woman beside him, but he knew in his heart that this time it might be more than lucky, but he didn't expect that he wanted to take his daughter to Daqin to live, but he met a thief on the road, looking at the greedy eyes of these thieves, the old man's heart has begun to slowly cool down.
"Big brother, all the money is here." The bandit said as he handed it to the leader with his baggage.
The bandit leader looked at the burden in front of him, walked up to the old man, kicked the old man, and said fiercely: "Just this money, waste Lao Tzu's time." β
"Father." The woman picked up the old man who fell to the ground in a panic, and asked in a trembling voice worriedly, "How are you?" β
The old man gave the woman a calm look, signaled that he was fine, coughed a few times and said: "We are here to make a living in Daqin, these are already all our savings, please let us go after taking the money." β
"Let you go." The thief seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed loudly: "Although you don't have any money, but seeing that you are good-looking, I can consider taking you back to the cottage to be a lady of the village." β
After speaking, a group of bandits surrounded him, and the old man protected the woman behind him in a panic, and begged: "Ladies and gentlemen, please let us go." β
However, how can the thieves be the ones who will listen to you, the woman saw that the hands of those thieves were about to be placed on her body, so she pulled the hairpin from her head in a panic, and scratched the arm of a thief with a random wave, and the thief slapped it in annoyance, and roared angrily: "Slut, dare to scratch me." β
Where could the woman stand the slap of the bandit, and instantly a big palm print appeared on her face, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, but she still held the hairpin in her hand, and the eyes in her eyes were firm, as if as long as the next second before the bandit, she waved the hairpin in her hand and stabbed it.
"Yes, it tastes good, I like it." The bandit leader looked at the woman and said with a smile: "The old one is killed, and the woman is brought back to the cottage." β
"No, don't." Watching the bandits draw their knives and face each other, the woman panicked and protected the old man in her arms.
Just as the knife was about to fall, a stone knocked down on the bandit's head, and the bandit hugged his head and shouted, "Which one is dead?" Get out of here. β
"Is there something going on here?" A man dressed in white slowly walked out of the bamboo forest and said with a smile.
"Is that what you beat?" The thief raised the knife in his hand and roared at the man in white.
"yes." The man in white waved the slingshot in his hand and said with a smile: "It's quite accurate to hit the next." β
"You're looking for death." The bandit heard the knife swinging angrily and slashed at the man in white.
I saw the man in white motionless looking at the bandit who was cutting towards him, with a smile on his face, and when the bandit was about to cut himself, the man in white slowly turned to the side, kicked out a leg behind him, and kicked the thief out of a foot away.
The thieves who fell to the ground were motionless, and when the thieves saw this situation, they immediately took precautions, and the man in white smiled and said to the man in black who came out: "This kind of rude thing, it seems that you still do it." β
"Huh." The man in black listened to the man in white's words, smiled helplessly, and said, "What's the use of you with thin arms and legs?" β
The man in white was not annoyed when he heard this, and still said with a smile: "I can't compare with you, I don't dare to make a move if I don't see you there?" β
"You expected me to make a move?" The man in black said.
"Of course, if you don't make a move, are you still you?" The man in white said with a smug face, as if he had settled the character of the man in the black shadow.
Looking at the two people chatting in front of them, the vigilant bandits were annoyed, this is not to take them in their eyes, looking at the number of people on both sides, the bandits instantly had confidence, and said angrily: "Who are you, if you don't want to die, get out of here." β
"Forget it." Hearing the shouts of the bandits, the man in white stepped aside and said, "You'd better clean them up first." β
The man in black didn't say anything, but stepped forward and said, "Let's shoot." β
Looking at the bandits who didn't take themselves seriously, they were angry, raised their knives and cut them, only to see that the man in black was not panicked, and knocked all the bandits to the ground in three or two strokes, and the bandits looked at the man in black in front of them in horror, as if they were like a god of war, and fled in panic.
Looking at the bandits who fled in the wilderness, the man in white walked out with a smile on his face and said, "It seems that you still have a lot of time to go back." β
"I didn't expect that there were bandits outside Xianyang City, it was my negligence." The man in black said with a frown.
Seeing that the crisis was lifted, the woman helped the old man and slowly walked to the man in white and the man in black. β
After speaking, the old man and the woman knelt down, and the man in black hurriedly supported the old man who was about to kneel and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I don't dare to thank you for the kindness of raising your hand." β
"Thank you two sons, otherwise the two of us would have returned here today." The old man said gratefully: "Jiang Er, thank the two sons." β
When the woman heard her father's words, she slowly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Thank you for the rescue of the two sons, and you will definitely repay it in the future." β
"Girl, you're welcome, just raise your hands." The man in white smiled and said, "I don't think you are from Great Qin, but you are looking for someone from Great Qin?" β
"We are from Zhao State, and we are going to come to Daqin to live, but we didn't expect to meet bandits outside Xianyang City and kill the horseman." The old man said with a sad face: "I didn't expect that we would kill a human life. β
"Don't be sad for the elderly, the dead are gone." The man in black comforted.
"yes." The man in white picked up the burden that the bandits had fallen into the wilderness and fled, handed it to the old man and said, "You should keep this burden." β
The old man took the burden and thanked him repeatedly, and the woman helped the old man to stand beside him silently.
The man in white looked at the groom who had fallen to the ground, and said suggestively: "The groom is dead, so let's bury him on the spot, so that he will not be in the wilderness." β
"It's fine." The man in black said in agreement with the old man.
"Let's get started." The man in white looked at the man in black with a smile on his face.
How could the man in black not know the intention of the man in white, and without saying anything, he silently walked to the side and dug a pit.
The old man said worriedly: "Is it okay to be alone with the son?" β
"It's okay." The man helped the old man to the side of the big stone and sat down and said, "He has rough skin and thick meat. Do not worry. β
The man in black was not annoyed when he heard this, but smiled heartily: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, this is a matter of effort for me, you just sit there and wait for a while, and it will be fine immediately." β
When the old man heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, but said to the woman beside him, "Jiang'er, you go and get water for the engongs right away." β
"Yes, father." When the woman heard this, she turned and walked towards the carriage.
The woman quickly took the water back, and the old man handed it to the man in white, and said slowly, "Childe, please." β
The man in white was also polite, took the water and said with a smile: "Thank you, old man." β
"Childe is polite, haven't asked Childe's name yet?" The old man said: "Under the surname Li, the son can call me Li Lao, this is my daughter, her name is Li Jiang." β
"Under the surname Zhao, the name is high." The man in white pointed to the man in black who was digging a pit and said with a smile: "His surname is Meng, and his name is Tian." β
