Early the next morning, the ministers all arrived, and when they saw the Imperial Forest Army standing outside the Jinluan Palace, the ministers were very frightened, and the officials who were usually very good with Lü Buwei were even more sweating, afraid that Lü Buwei would involve them.

"Upper Dynasty !!"

"See the king," the ministers shouted in unison.

"Excuse me"

"Great king, the minister is guilty. When Lü Buwei rebelled, the minister did not arrive in time, so that the king was frightened, and the minister deserved to die. Please punish the king. Changxin Hou Nesten said.

"Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself, isn't it okay for the widow to be a widow? Besides, Lu Buwei was obviously premeditated this time, so the widow pardoned you for your innocence. You step aside, the widow has to deal with Lu Buwei's gang of traitors. ”

"Come on, take Lu Buwei to the court. ”

After a while, the guards outside the door brought Lü Buwei from the prison.

"Lü Buwei, you and the former king are good friends, and after the death of your father, you were crowned 'middle father' and 'Wenxin Marquis', and 100,000 households were sealed. The first king attached great importance to you, and the widow also relied on you very much, why did you want to harm me, and even wanted a certain dynasty to usurp the throne, you can be worthy of the trust of the first king in you. Ying Zheng shouted loudly.

"Hmph, the winner is king, and the loser is Kou. You don't have to pity me. I know that the death penalty is inevitable, but I hope you will not embarrass my family in the affection of the past. None of them knew about me, they were innocent. I hope you let them go. Lü Buwei said.

"Okay, the few people will find out the specific things. If they really don't know, the widow will let them go. It can be regarded as repaying your friendship for helping your father. ”

"Someone, pull Lü Buwei and his accomplices out of the noon gate and behead them to show the public. Yan Shangshu, the strict punishment of the Criminal Department, you have to investigate this matter thoroughly, and don't let anyone go. Ying Zheng said solemnly.

"Yes, my lord, Wechen will definitely handle this matter. Torture said coldly.

"Alright, let's all go down and do something. ”

"Retreat from the !!"

After retiring from the dynasty, Ying Zheng came to Kunning Palace to greet Zhao Ji. "See the king", the palace maid of Kunning Palace greeted Ying Zheng when she saw it.

"Excuse me"

"The sons see the queen mother. ”

"Looking at Wang Er's spring face, could it be that something good happened?"

"Hehe, the queen mother is clever, but this time she got rid of Lu Buwei and completely controlled the entire Great Qin, and there will never be anyone who threatens our lives again. ”

Time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now that you are older, there are some things that I don't say you know, so let Lu Buwei's family go. ”

"Knowing the Queen Mother".

"Well, I'm not going to talk about it anymore. However, do you have to consider taking the exam for your marriage, you must know that you are sixteen this year, and you have not yet completed your marriage, which is a bit too undeserved. ”

"Uh......" Ying Zheng was speechless,

"What are you 'uh', now you are also older, but the parents are in charge of the marriage matter, I will pay attention to this matter for you, see if the woman among the ministers is good, and marry her." ”

"Queen Mother, this is too anxious, it's too hasty to get married without even seeing each other. Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Don't be in a hurry, you just listen to me. I'm in charge of this. Zhao Ji replied with a serious face.

Ying Zheng ran away as soon as he saw that he couldn't persuade his mother, Zhao Ji thought Ying Zheng was shy, smiled, and ordered the palace maids around him: "You go to the information of the ministers who have daughters in the court, and I will take a look, as well as their daughters' information, try to be as detailed as possible." ”

"Yes, ma'am"

In the afternoon of the same day, there was news that King Qin was going to choose a parent, which made the ministers who had daughters very excited, and they asked their daughters to behave well in the past two days, maybe they would be selected, so that the family would benefit.

In the afternoon, Ying Zheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the news, but thinking about this era, it is a common phenomenon to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen and have children at the age of fifteen, so he doesn't feel helpless. At this time, Zhao Gao ran in and said to Ying Zheng: "King, Yan Shangshu of the Criminal Department is waiting outside. ”

"Well, let him in. ”

"Xuan ...... Yan Shangshu met !!"

"I've seen the king!"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"The king, when copying Lü Buwei's home, he found a step "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", according to Lü Buwei's confidants' description, this book was compiled collectively by Lü Buwei's subordinate disciples. The main thing is that there is still some kung fu on it that is not very high. After compiling it, Lü Buwei plans to publish this book, so that people in the world who do not have advanced martial arts will be grateful, and in the future, they will probably feel that they have come to defect to Lü Buwei, making his power even greater; second, it can improve Lü Buwei's reputation and influence; and third, it can hit the reputation of the king, so that the people will know Lü Buwei but not the king. It can be seen from this that Lü Buwei's rebellion is clearly exposed. ”

And when Ying Zheng heard "Lü's Spring and Autumn", he thought of what later generations said about him:

['Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" is an ancient encyclopedia-like masterpiece edited by Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, with eight readings, six treatises, and twelve epochs, with a total of more than 200,000 words. "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" is a miscellaneous family (Confucianism, law, Taoism, etc.) work compiled by Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State in the last years of the Warring States Period (around 239 BC), and is also known as Lü Lan. The book is divided into 12 periods, 8 reviews, and 6 treatises, with a total of 12 volumes, 160 articles, and more than 200,000 words. Lü Buwei himself believes that it includes the affairs of all things in heaven and earth throughout the ages, so it is called "Lü's Spring and Autumn".

At that time, the Wei state had Xinling Jun, the Chu state had Chunshen Jun, the Zhao state had Pingyuan Jun, and the Qi State had Meng Weijun, all of them were courteous corporal and made guests. And in this regard, we must compete for high and low. Lü Buwei thought that the Qin State was so powerful, so he also recruited scholars and scholars, and gave them generous treatment, with as many as 3,000 diners under his door. Unlike the fourth prince, Lü Buwei recruited doormen and did not attach much importance to brave men and warriors, but paid great attention to literary talents. It turned out that Lü Buwei had his own opinions. He has always been good at strategy, and he looks down on those simple-minded brave men. Besides, the Qin State is like a cloud, and the military is strong, so there is no need to raise soldiers to be recruited. Another reason is that at that time, many people who were good at arguing wrote books and made speeches, which were widely circulated, not only famous all over the world, but also passed on to future generations and forever recorded in history, which made Lü Buwei's eyes particularly hot. Lü Buwei was originally a businessman, and he was not in a position to write books and speak, but he could use these disciples who were good at dancing and writing to realize his ambitions and aspirations. At that time, there were many talented debaters in the vassal states, like Xun Qing's group, who wrote books and spoke and were popular all over the world.

When everything was ready, Lü Buwei ordered everyone in his subordinates who could write an essay to write down what he had heard, seen, and felt. After the article was handed in, there were all kinds of writings, including the past and the present, the upper and lower directions, all things in heaven and earth, the rise and fall of chaos, the agriculture and industry, the three religions and nine streams, all of which were discussed, and many articles were repeated. Lü Buwei also selected several article masters to screen, classify, and delete these articles, and synthesized them into a book, named "Lü's Spring and Autumn". For the sake of prudence, after the book was written, Lü Buwei asked the doorman to revise it several times until he was really satisfied. Lü Buwei attaches great importance to this book, and he himself thinks that this book, known as "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", is a masterpiece, and boasts that the book is a strange book that encompasses "heaven and earth, all things, ancient and modern". For example, in the "Preface", which is quite a general preface to the book, the discussion of the twelfth century can also be seen: "All those who are in the twelfth era, so the discipline and chaos survive and die, so the people who know the longevity and the bad luck, the heaven of the heavens, the places of the lower trials, and the people of the middle trial, if so, it is necessary to have nothing to hide." ”

In order to keep improving, but also to expand his influence, Lü Buwei also came up with a brilliant way to publicize the book, he asked someone to copy the whole book neatly, hang it at the gate of Xianyang, and claim that if anyone could change a word, he would be rewarded with a thousand gold. When the news spread, people flocked to it, including the travelers and guests of the princes and countries, but none of them were able to change the words on the book. Of course, this does not necessarily prove that "Lü's Spring and Autumn" has reached the level of perfection, but it is likely that people are in awe of Lü Buwei's might, and no one wants to come forward. However, in this way, the sensational effect is huge, and the fame of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" and Lü Buwei spread far and wide in the eastern countries. It is worth mentioning that this masterpiece was made in the Warring States Period, which preserves a lot of ancient posthumous anecdotes and ideological concepts, and has a certain reference value.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" converging the doctrines of various schools of the pre-Qin period, "Confucianism and Mo, and the law of joint names", so it is called "Miscellaneous" in history. Lü Buwei borrowed the hand of a guest to write "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", although he mainly relied on borrowing the light of others to improve his image, but he did a great thing in cultural undertakings, and his contribution was indispensable. ’】

After listening to the harsh punishment, Ying Zheng felt very lucky, if he hadn't killed Lü Buwei early, and when he announced "Lü's Spring and Autumn", it would be much more difficult to kill him again. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said to the severe punishment: "Lu Buwei's heart can be punished, and all his property will be confiscated." And what about his family?"

"Your Majesty, Lü Buwei didn't tell his family all this. His wife didn't mess around either. ”

"That's fine, so keep them, leave them some possessions, so that they can live. You don't have to drive them away."

"Yes!"

"Then kneel down. ”

"The minister retired !!"

The next day, the ministers were relieved, and Lü Buwei's matter was over.

"Upper Dynasty !!"

"See the King"

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat from"

"King Qiyu, the minister has the right to beat"

"Oh, what's the matter with Gao Shangshu. ”

"The king, the country cannot be said to be without a phase, and the minister implores the king to choose the prime minister as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, then you've got the right person. ”

"The minister recommended one person - Li Si, this person has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and the ability to govern the country and the country, but he failed to show his talent because of Lu Buwei's suppression before. ”

"The king, the minister seconded the proposal. Yesterday, the minister went to raid Lu Buwei's house, just talked to him, and he talked extraordinarily and had the talent of a prime minister. ”

"Okay, Xuan Lisi has an audience"

"Xuan, Li Si meets !!"

"Xuan, Li Si meets !!"

..................

"Ministers and Ministers see the king. ”

"Lis, raise your head and let the widow look at you. ”

'The body is dignified and the appearance is dignified. A pair of eyes are like stars in the sky that make people indulge in it, and the eyes shoot the light of wisdom, like the Wenqu stars in the sky. Fairy wind bones, elegant and elegant. That's it. ’

At this time, Li Si was also observing Yingzheng: black and gold deep eyes, handsome and extraordinary face, gestures in Zaidu exuded a natural imperial domineering, and it was difficult to resist the charm of the wild surname, the majestic body, and the courage of ten thousand people.

"Li Si, do you think you can take on the position of prime minister?" asked Ying Zheng indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the minister is confident that he will be a good prime minister and can do better than Lu Buwei. ”

"Well, remember what you said, and if you can't, you should know the fate of the deceitful. ”

"Since then, Li Si has served as prime minister, do you have any objections?"

"The ministers have no intentions!!"

"Retreat from the !!"
