"Suffice it to say, my great-grandfather is much stronger than me."

There was a little peace in Ying Zheng's voice, this was the first time Chen Ke heard Ying Zheng's words speak in a calm, even somewhat humble tone.

But while Chen Ke felt surprised, he also felt a little normal.

Who is Ying Zheng's great-grandfather?

King Qin Zhaoxiang.

Among all the monarchs of the Qin State, if one of the greatest Qin kings is to be evaluated, then King Qin Zhaoxiang will not be weaker than anyone even if he does not determine the champion.

Of course –

The reason why the champion is not determined is not because King Zhaoxiang is not strong enough.

The main reason is that King Zhaoxiang has a problem that all the superiors, all kings, or all emperors have.

He became very suspicious in his later years.

Those who are familiar with history, or those who have studied junior high school history, know that there are several prerequisites for Qin to be able to dominate the world.

One was the social environment at the time, the people of the Seven Kingdoms were already disgusted with war, and they wanted peace and unity.

The second is that the Shang Dynasty Reform Law provided a strong enough backing for the Qin State, making the Qin State the most powerful of the Seven Kingdoms.

The third is Ying Zheng's own eloquence and strategy, making good use of talents, and the aftermath of the sixth emperor of Qin in the past.

The fourth is the Battle of Changping, so that among several countries in the east, the most capable and the only one that can compete with Great Qin, and the Zhao State, which has always blocked Great Qin's western letter to Guguan, has completely lost the ability to block Great Qin in this battle.

Wu Anjun used the lives of 400,000 soldiers and civilians of Zhao State to pave a road to unification for Great Qin.

However, Bai Qi did not get a good death after the Battle of Changping, and was finally given death.

This is something that everyone knows.

A few people know more things, such as that the cause of Bai Qi's death is actually Fan Ju's scheme.

In short, Fan Ju was trusted by King Zhuang Xiang, but this person was very small-minded, and after Bai Qi made great achievements, Fan Ju began to worry about his position in the heart of King Qin Zhaoxiang, so he planned a divisive plan.

In the end, under this divisive plan, Yingji died in vain.

A few people can understand one thing in this divisive scheme, that is, Bai Qi's death is not actually to blame Fan Ju, but to blame Yingji.

Why?

Because what killed Bai Qi was not Fan Ju's discordant plan, but Yingji's suspicion.

Without Fan Ju, there will be Liu Ju, Wang Ju, and Li Ju, as long as Yingji's heart does not have absolute trust in Bai Qi, then after he killed the 400,000 soldiers and civilians of Zhao State and made monstrous contributions, he will definitely not have any way to live.

It is precisely because of this that Yingji cannot determine the champion among all the Qin kings.

Of course –

Among them, there is also the reason why Yingzheng is really too awesome.

Looking at the clarity and thinking in Chen Ke's eyes, Ying Zheng just shook his head and smiled: "Presumably Chen Ke boy, you also know my great-father." ”

"That's it."

"Do you know what happened to Great Qin after my great-grandfather died?"

Chen Ke nodded, he had already guessed what Ying Zheng wanted to say.

"If the minister is not mistaken, after the collapse of King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen succeeded to the throne, but not long after the succession, he collapsed again."

"After that, His Majesty's father, King Zhuangxiang, succeeded to the throne."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Then do you know why King Xiaowen, that is, my eldest father, collapsed so quickly?" ”

Chen Ke lowered his head, he didn't know what Ying Zheng meant by saying this at this time, but he lowered his head and said at the same time: "Chen Dou dared to guess, probably because of some disputes in Qin at that time. ”

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and sneered: "You kid, you know everything, but you like to pretend to be stupid about everything." ”

"Obviously there are speculations about everything, why bother so much?"

"Isn't that a joke?"

He looked at Chen Ke with a lonely expression: "Let's talk about it, let me listen to it, and see how much of your kid's guess is correct." ”

Chen Ke said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister's is just a guess. ”

He measured the words in his mind, and this is what he said: "In fact, it is nothing more than external and internal troubles." ”

Chen Ke sighed leisurely in his heart, in fact, when King Zhaoxiang died, the situation of the Qin State was very similar to that of the First Emperor when he died.

First of all, King Zhaoxiang was definitely one of the greatest monarchs of the Warring States period.

His greatness lies in two.

One, he is patient and wise.

Two, he lived a long time.

The first point is important, but in the face of the second point, it is not important at all.

King Zhaoxiang was in power at the age of twenty-two in 304 BC and died in 251 BC, and only when he died did he relinquish his power.

He reigned for fifty-six years.

Taking the old enemy of the Qin State Zhao State as an example, at the same time as the King of Zhaoxiang was in power, the King of Zhao was the strongest of the Zhao kings in the past dynasties, that is, King Wuling of Zhao reigned.

In 299 BC, the fifth year of the reign of King Zhaoxiang, the state of Zhao changed its king and became King Huiwen of Zhao.

That is, the king of Zhao assisted by Lin Xiangru.

In 266 BC, King Zhao Huiwen collapsed after thirty-three years on the throne, and was succeeded by King Zhao Huiwen's son King Zhao Xiaocheng in the same year.

At this time, the state of Qin was still ruled by King Zhaoxiang, who was King Zhaoxiang of Qin for forty-one years.

In 251 BC, King Zhaoxiang of Qin collapsed; And only six years later, King Zhao Xiaocheng collapsed.

One monarch of the Qin State almost survived the three monarchs of the Zhao State.

And this is still the case when King Zhao is relatively slow to change, and in the same case, Wei and Qi have already changed four monarchs.

In the feudal society of ancient times, the change of monarch was a great thing, and he would cause internal turmoil, and it would be a great upheaval.

Because the alternation of kings often represents the replacement of the old and new groups.

The replacement of old and new interest groups has always been a matter of darkness and a dog's brain.

When other countries changed their monarchs and the country began to turmoil, Qin developed its own strength in an orderly manner and gradually expanded its power under the pressure of King Zhaoxiang.

In the middle and even slightly late period of King Zhaoxiang, the Qin State already had the momentum and scene of swallowing the six kingdoms.

The helpless point is that Cheng also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and the debts owed by the Qin State because of the long life of King Zhaoxiang were repaid in the later period of King Zhaoxiang because of suspicion.

The most time to pay back is when King Zhaoxiang died.

As mentioned earlier, King Zhaoxiang reigned for a long time, which could stabilize the domestic situation while allowing the old interest groups to expand and expand without limit.

It has even swelled, expanded to the point that even the next monarch cannot contain it.

This is why King Hyowen died so quickly.

Ying Zheng said in a quiet, cold tone: "I have been in power for too long. ”

"My great-grandfather reigned for fifty-six years."

"And now, if you don't change the era name, it will be the first emperor for thirty years."

"I've been on the throne for thirty years."

"What's more, I'm still in good health, and I may be able to live another twenty years."

"This also means that I have been in power for the same time as my great-grandfather."

He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Do you understand what I mean?" ”
