Ying Zheng attached great importance to the "Policy of Destroying the Six Kingdoms" given by Li Si, and after Li Si left, he studied it carefully, and did not delay during the meal.

This book first analyzes the situation of the seven countries in detail, and then analyzes the geographical environment, humanistic characteristics, composition of officials, and the combat strength and distribution of the armed forces of each country one by one.

Although it is only a general description and not as accurate and detailed as the statistics of his own country, it is also extremely valuable information.

After that, he talked about the analysis of war and destruction with Li Si, but it was much more detailed. It also summarizes some unnecessary wars from a historical point of view, and also points out the mistakes or failures of some monarchs or generals in history.

Li Si also expounded on the importance of sharpening a sword in ten years, and introduced how to classify the preparations that should be made, how to develop production, and cultivate plastic talents in all aspects.

Finally, Li Si also designed some siege equipment, as well as farming tools and grain vehicles.

Ying Zheng was very interested in some weapons, and he dipped his fingers in water on the table and drew some graphics.

Ying Zheng read it very seriously, and before he knew it, it was late at night.

Ying Zheng has a good habit of reading a good book, and he will sort out his views in detail for annotation. He didn't feel tired at all, but felt refreshed all over. His heart seemed to be no longer hesitating, and he was full of confidence and determination for the great cause of the future. He felt that the predicament he was facing was nothing at all.

It's a strength that fills him with confidence and bravery.

When I woke up in the morning, it was already dawn.

As soon as Ying Zheng finished breakfast, Zhao Gao bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangbang, please see you." ”

"He's long overdue, please." Ying Zheng tidied up his clothes.

Lu Buwei was of medium stature, slightly fat, rich and noble, and richly dressed, and followed Zhao Gao into the study with a steady pace.

"The old minister pays a visit to the king."

Although he is the middle father, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be missing, and Lu Buwei bowed down.

"The middle father is exempt." Ying Zheng hurriedly said, "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to salute." ”

"Your Majesty." Lu Buwei got up and said, "The old minister came here this time to discuss with the king. ”

"Yesterday the queen mother called the widow and said a few things." Ying Zheng guessed the purpose of Lu Buwei's coming, "What the middle father wants to say is the few things that the queen mother said, right?" ”

"Yes, the king must have heard the queen mother talk about it." Lu Buwei didn't turn around, and said bluntly, "The old minister wants to postpone the king's crown ceremony for a period of time, I don't know what the king wants?" ”

"The widow has thought about it, although the widow is an adult, but after all, he has too little experience, and he still has little experience in the affairs of the DPRK and China. It is better to postpone the crown ceremony according to the wishes of the middle father and the queen mother. Ying Zheng said lightly.

Lu Buwei thought that Ying Zheng would quarrel, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to react like this, and looked at Ying Zheng with an unbelievable expression.

Ying Zheng continued: "As for the matter of choosing a concubine, the widow thinks it's good to be casual. Welcome, some details of the marriage, there is Lao Zhong's father. ”

"Does the king really think so?" Lu Buwei was surprised to see that Yingzheng agreed so happily.

"Of course the widow thinks so, Father-in-law." Ying Zheng said, "Although the widow is an adult, he relied too much on his middle father before, so he can't share the government for his middle father now, which makes his middle father work so hard." In the future, the widow will redouble his efforts to share his worries and shoulder his responsibilities. ”

Ying Zheng's words were said like a child, but with hints, how could Lü Buwei not understand the meaning.

"It is the duty of the old minister to share the worries of the king." There was a smile on the corner of Lu Buwei's mouth, "For the sake of Daqin's country, the old minister will not hesitate even if he is broken." ”

"The mind of the middle father, how can the widow not know." Ying Zheng also smiled and said, "It is not only Daqin who wants the middle father to work, but the world." ”

“！！” Hearing these words coming out of Ying Zheng's mouth, Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing

"Hahaha...... The king really has ambitions. Lu Buwei said with a smile.

This smile was quite sincere, and it seemed that Lü Buwei's joy came from the heart.

"I hope that God will let the old minister live a few more years and see the king realize this grand cause!" Lu Buwei said.

"This is indeed the wish and goal of the widow's life." Ying Zheng said, "I don't know what is the greatest wish of the middle father in this life? ”

"The king's wish is the wish of the minister." Lu Buwei said.

"Middle father, there are no outsiders here, and the widow wants to hear what he has to say." Ying Zheng said as he motioned for the servants to stand down, and asked Lü Buwei to sit down face-to-face.

Lü Buwei also relaxed and said: "Lao Chen was originally a merchant of Zhao State, although he had some family property, his status was not high. When I was young, I was very good friends with your father and the king, and I was like a brother. ”

"I've heard my father mention this matter a few times before." Ying Zheng said.

Lü Buwei nodded and continued: "Back then, the old minister did everything he could to help your father return to the Qin Kingdom, and he also became the crown prince. When your father ascended the throne, he appointed his ministers to be prime ministers. The two of us wanted to show our strength and ambitions. Why, your father died young. Before he died, he entrusted you to the old minister, and passed it on to you, and also entrusted the old minister to assist the king as much as I could. ”

"Because the king was young and feared being victimized by traitors, the old ministers did not dare to hand over the royal power to the king. Any danger, offending any magnates, are also borne by the old ministers. ”

Therefore, the old minister lives for the king, and the king's wish is the wish of the old minister, and the king's ambition is the old minister's ambition. This is the old minister's heartfelt words, and there is nothing untrue. ”

"Haha." Listening to Lu Buwei's story, Ying Zheng laughed.

"That's very good. Then let's work together to realize the wishes and goals of the widows, the kings, and the ancestors. Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, if you want to dominate the world, you can't just have ideas." After speaking, Lü Buwei took out a scroll from his arms.

The title of this book is "The Six National Policies of War", which was written by Li Si, a disciple of Xunzi. Yesterday, Li Si came to the residence of the old minister to visit the old minister and presented this book, saying that it was his life's work. The old minister had read this book through and felt that it was indeed beneficial to the battle situation that he might face in the future, so he dedicated it to the king. Lü Buwei said.

"Oh? Show it to the widow. Ying Zheng's face was calm, he took the book, and secretly sighed at Li Si's good move.

A book that was no longer important to him helped Li Si enter the Lu Mansion, gain Lü Buwei's trust, and test Lü Buwei's thoughts.

Ying Zheng thought in his heart: "If he hides and doesn't reveal it, then his mind will be another matter, and it seems that he will have to try it." ”

Lü Buwei said: "The old minister appreciates Li Si's talent and has temporarily left him in the mansion. And Lao Chen thought that since the king was an adult, he should have a bachelor of the same age and outstanding talent to accompany the king to study, so it was better to let Li Si accompany him to study, okay? ”

"It's been seven years since the middle father taught the widow to read, why did he suddenly change to someone else?" Ying Zheng asked deliberately.

"The king is an adult, and in terms of etiquette, there is no one to teach the king, and he can only be accompanied by someone to study." Lü Buwei said, "Li Si is talented, it's better to let him try it first, if the king is not satisfied, the old minister will replace someone else." ”

"The middle father is saying that the widow chooses another person to accompany him to study because the widow is already an adult, right?" Ying Zheng asked softly.

"Exactly." Lü Buwei replied.

"What does the middle father mean is that the widow is actually an adult, but he has not performed the crown ceremony, and the others are no different from adults, right?" Ying Zheng asked a little childishly.

"That's right, Your Majesty." Lu Buwei said.

Ying Zheng asked: "The ancestor worship ceremony and the spring hunting activity are held normally?" ”

"Naturally, it is held normally." Lu Buwei said.

Ying Zheng's voice was a little low and said: "Ancestor worship, the spring hunt is held normally, but the crown ceremony is not held, and it is not possible to do it in the etiquette, and I also ask the middle father for advice." ”

Lu Buwei shook his head and sighed: "Naturally, the ceremony should be held together. But the crown ceremony is not unheld, it is just delayed. However, worshipping ancestors is the top priority of the royal family, but it cannot be postponed, so the old minister feels that it is not impossible to have a time interval. ”

"Okay." Ying Zheng said, "Since the middle father thinks it is appropriate, then it is arranged like this." ”

Lü Buwei arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured about everything." ”

"Then since the middle father may no longer teach the widow in the future, the widow still has a question that he wants to ask the middle father." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Lu Buwei said.

"Does the middle father know ...... 'Jiuding'?" Ying Zheng asked with a confused expression.

"What the king asked, but 'Huaxia Jiuding'?" Lu Buwei was very surprised, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to suddenly ask this, and his voice raised a little.

"Yes, it's 'Huaxia Jiuding'." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "I heard that Jiuding is in the Qin State, and it was the middle father who destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty and brought it back." ”

"Indeed, my lord." Lu Buwei paused and said, "Just last year, Lao Chen led his troops to the expedition, and at that time, there were fewer enemies and more enemies, so he had no choice but to use a plan to detour to the Great Zhou, take the capital of Zhou, dismiss the Zhou royal family, and rob Jiuding. The destruction of the Great Zhou is a major event in the world, and all countries know it. However, all countries also know that the Great Zhou Qi has been exhausted, and it is only a question of whose hands it will be destroyed. The nations refused to do this nominal disloyalty, so the Zhou royal family lasted for another hundred years. This move of the old minister conformed to the thoughts of various countries, so no one sent troops to make trouble. However, Jiuding is different, Jiuding symbolizes the land of Kyushu, represents the power of the emperor, and all countries want to take it. Therefore, the matter of robbing Jiuding was hidden by the old ministers, and only a few people knew about it. Now that the king has heard about it, it is likely that the news has leaked out, and there may be another war soon. ”

"Where is Jiuding now?" Ying Zheng asked.

"In the old minister's mansion, the old minister is afraid that other places are not safe, so he hides in the underground palace, and wants to hand it over to the king after the crown salute, since the king knows the situation, then the king sees, how should Jiuding be disposed of?" Lü Buwei asked.

"It's better not to make a noise, just leave it with you. Another day is free, and the widow goes to observe and open his eyes. Ying Zheng said solemnly.

Lu Buwei nodded.

Ying Zheng's face was slightly cold, looked at Lu Buwei, and said: "The widow thought that the middle father would have some other great intentions, so he hid Jiuding. ”

Lü Buwei raised his head suddenly, his face frightened and angry.
