Leaving the palace.

Zichu placed his palace for handling government affairs in the palace of the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood on both sides in an orderly manner, waiting for Zichu's arrival.

Ying Zheng, who was over eleven years old, was five feet three inches tall (159), a head taller than ordinary people.

Ying Zheng was on a platform under the throne, where Fan Ju had sat before.

It was here that Fan Xiang proposed a long-distance and close-range attack; Bai Qibai will attack the land of the Three Jins.

On the main hall below, on the right is the civil official headed by Prime Minister Lü Buwei, and on the left is the military general headed by Wang Yi and Meng Fu.

The hour has come.

Outside the palace, the chamberlain shouted, "The king has arrived." ”

Zi Chu sat on the throne with the throne of King Qin, and the ministers below bowed their hands and said, "Meet the king." ”

Zi Chu: "The ministers are exempt from courtesy. ”

The chamberlain shouted, "No courtesy." ”

"King Xie."

Zichu: "Zhongqing took a seat. ”

The chamberlain chanted Zi Chu's words, and the voice echoed throughout the hall.

The two sides of the hall that have been arranged have been arranged with bookcases and seats.

Every official knows where he or she is.

On the civil official side, the prime minister and the imperial historian are ranked among the three dukes, naturally at the forefront, below the two are the civil officials of Shangqing and Jiuqing, and below are the doctors, the guards of Xianyang City and the officials in Xianyang City, all the way to the door.

Because there is no one to serve as a lieutenant on the side of the generals, there are two generals at the front, Wang Di and Meng Fu, and below the two generals are General Wei, Lang Zhongling, and Wei Wei, and below is the general of all parties.

Zi Chu looked at the ministers below and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Then some ministers stood up and began to solve the ritual questions, and then debated and answered them one by one.

It is not so easy to decide the government affairs of the entire Qin State, and most of the proposals are pressed down at the moment, waiting for another review and dialectic, and they can only be implemented after they can be passed.

Zichu's understanding of government affairs is still not proficient enough, so many ritual questions will be suppressed and wait for the second round of justification.

At this time, Yingzheng stood up and said, "Tell my father, my son has something to do." ”

Zichu looked at Yingzheng and said, "Zheng'er, say it." ”

Ying Zheng stood in the middle, saluted with a salute in his hand and said, "Father, the Qin State has been fighting for many years, resulting in zero in the people, and the sons think that since the father has ascended the throne, why not govern the world and Bude the people." ”

"So that the people of Qin can remember the benevolence of their father, and at the same time recuperate for three years, saving strength for the opportunity of the future expedition."

As soon as Ying Zheng's words fell, the entire hall quieted down, governing the world and Bude to the people. Stop the war and save strength.

Is this really what a child can think of?

Of course, Zichu also thought of this problem, but what Ying Zheng said was what he thought, he came from the people, and naturally knew that the current strength of the Qin State was not enough to continue the war, otherwise the Qin State might be dragged down.

Zi Chu looked at Ying Zheng's clean eyes, and everywhere he was slowly confident and firm.

Zi Chu nodded and asked Ying Zheng to sit down, then looked at the ministers and said, "What do you think of the prince's proposal." ”

The ministers' eyes flickered, everyone was looking at Ying Zheng, they couldn't imagine that this young child in a high position had such a good brain, not only saw the hidden dangers of the Qin State, but also proposed to change.

Since King Zhaoxiang set the tone of the war for eastward expansion, the entire Zhaoxiang Dynasty has been constantly fighting, if it were not for An Guojun to stabilize the rear and ensure the supply of household registration in the rear of Qin, Qin would have been defeated long ago.

Meng Fu stood up and said, "My lord, the old city thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. ”

Zi Chu looked at Meng Yu and said, "Aiqing, talk about it." ”

Meng Fu said, "Great King, during the period of King Zhaoxiang, the general trend of the Qin State was to conquer various countries, the domestic farmland was uncultivated, the women and children in the family were unsupported, and the children died seriously halfway, and the war continued to continue, and there was a danger of insufficient manpower in the country. ”

Zichu nodded, he had seen such a scene, and he knew that what Meng Fu said was reality.

Zichu: "Is there anything else Aiqing would like to add?" ”

On the other side, Dr. Zhisu also stood up and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zi Chu nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Since the war in the Qin State, the basic taxes on agriculture and mulberry in the country have been heavier than one year, which has long made the people miserable. ”

"As the prince said, the king governs the world, and Bude can not only alleviate the current situation in the country, but also let the king's reputation spread throughout the Qin country, so that the people of the Qin country know that the king is a benevolent monarch sent by heaven, and his name is enough to record the annals of history and spread through the ages."

Ying Zheng kept this guy firmly in mind, good guy, he can still name a few flowers when he speaks.

Zi Chu looked at the other party and nodded.

Zi Chu monitored for a week, and he said, "In this case, Lu Xiang, you agree on a suitable plan, and after passing it, it will govern the world and the people." ”

Lu Buwei stood up and saluted, "Only." ”

Then Zi Chu said, "Scatter the dynasty." ”

The chamberlain shouted "Scatter the dynasty." ”

The ministers stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to the king." ”

Zichu returned to the apse and asked the chamberlain to summon Yingzheng over.

On the way to Huayang Palace, Ying Zheng was intercepted by the chamberlain and taken to the apse of the palace.

The chamberlain stood outside the door, "The king, the prince has arrived." ”

Naturally, there were also chamberlains inside, who transmitted the sound outside the door to Zichu's ears.

The door opened, and the waiter who was serving by his side appeared in front of Yingzheng.

The chamberlain saluted and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”

Ying Zheng walked past the attendant who bowed and retreated, and walked towards Zi Chu, who was sitting behind the bookcase in the main hall.

Standing a foot away in front of the bookcase, "Son, see father." ”

Zichu: "Zheng'er, get up." ”

Ying Zheng: "Thank you, the king." ”

Zichu asked the chamberlain to move the table and table, "Let's eat here with my father." ”

Ying Zheng: "My son, thank you father." ”

Zichu left the bookcase full of bamboo slips, walked to Yingzheng's side and ordered, "Set the meal." ”

The maid brought the food to the table, and then waited for the waiter to taste it before the two began to pick up the chopsticks and start moving.

Zichu looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Zheng'er may be drinking." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Back to my father, the teacher taught Zheng'er not to drink alcohol when he was young, which hurt his body and morale. ”

Zi Chu nodded, and then asked the waiter to remove the wine from the table and bring the tea again.

Zi Chu looked at Ying Zheng, who was chewing carefully, and there was nothing to find fault with in terms of etiquette.

The maid cleaned up all the wreckage, and Zi Chu looked at Ying Zheng, who was kneeling on the seat.

"Above the court in the morning is your true thoughts."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Back to my father, the main thing is that the sons are taught by the teacher's side, and the teacher analyzes the current situation of the Qin State, so that the sons can know the current affairs and the real situation of the Qin State." ”

"After that, Erchen asked the teacher how to reconcile?"

"Under the guidance of the teacher, the son came to such a conclusion, so he put it forward in the court."

Zichu's eyes were shining, it seemed that Zheng'er's teacher saw the general trend of the world very clearly! There are also a lot of talents.

As far as he knew, his father had originally intended this Yan Yan to teach him, but unfortunately he died before he had time, otherwise this Yan Yan would have already been his teacher.

Zi Chu looked at Ying Zheng, ten years old is the age of playfulness, but he has already had a unique view of the world under the teaching of that person, from this point of view, Yan Yan must have great talent.

Zi Chu's eyes wandered back and forth on Ying Zheng's body, and after he accepted Yan Yan's teaching to Ying Zheng, the more he looked at Ying Zheng, the more he could see Yan Yan's terrible place.

As far as he knew, Yan Yan basically acted back and forth between the apse of Huayang Palace and a simple teahouse in Xianyang City, and there was no source of external information, but he was able to see the truth behind it through what he saw along the way, and such a popularity was definitely not small.

Zichu: "Zheng'er, what kind of official did you say would make your teacher so that he could repay him for saving you and your mother's concubine." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "Zheng'er doesn't know, answer with courtesy." ”

"The grace of saving lives is as great as the sky, not to mention that the teacher also has the grace of teaching Zheng'er, and the grace of escorting the mother concubine."

"In this way, no matter what Zheng'er says, it will seem to be biased in favor of the teacher, so Zheng'er has no answer."

Zichu nodded to show that he understood.

Zichu looked at the time and said, "Okay, my father is going to deal with government affairs, Zheng'er go back." ”

Ying Zheng stood up and saluted, "Son, say goodbye to his father." ”

Zi Chu looked at Ying Zheng's back, and after he left the main hall, he said, "What is the result of the investigation of Yan Yan." ”

A figure appeared in the main hall, "Back to the king." ”

"According to the continuous investigation over the past year, Prince Yan has not been anywhere except for Huayang Palace, Chiffon Teahouse, and Liu Yang Mansion, and the people he has contacted have been to no one except the king, the prince, and the queen."

"According to us, all the information that Yan Yan has about the outside world comes from the crown prince and queen's conversations with him and what he saw along the way."

Zichu nodded and asked him to step back.

Zi Chu picked up a roll of bamboo slips and opened it, but his mind was not on it, the face of the yin owl that he didn't see much appeared in his mind, and the vague hanging triangular eyes appeared in his mind for the first time.

It was a pair of eyes like the two fierce tigers around him, making him like a tiger hidden in the dark, ready to strike a fatal blow to the enemy.

Zichu put down the bamboo slip, he knew what Lü Buwei had taken him out of Zhao State for, so he satisfied Lü Buwei's desire and let him sit in the high position of prime minister of Qin State.

The Qin State has two phases, one left and one right.

Now that the right minister is on hold, the left minister Lu Buwei is equivalent to one person occupying the post of prime minister.

Zichu was worried that Lu Buwei would repay his favors for personal gain.

Zi Chu looked at the map of the Qin State hanging behind him, from the original remote location, to now swallowing Bashu, Qianzhong and Yingdu of the Chu State, Luoyi, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and beating the Wei State as a vassal....

These are the results of the peaceful war, but as Ying Zheng said, the Qin State has begun to have a tendency of internal friction, and it is necessary to stop the loss in time.

And Lü Buwei is a businessman after all, he can't see such a situation, Lü Buwei can only see the benefits of the gains, and then use the businessman's intuition to make bets.

And the Qin State does not need a businessman, what is needed is a real talent.

Obviously, Ying Zheng's teacher Yan Yan is the best candidate.

When Zichu thought of this, his heart suddenly became much more relaxed.

He looked at the official position of the Qin State, if he wanted to be able to fight against the prime minister without getting out of control, and the official position should be as high as possible without real power, there were only those false positions.

Ying Zheng returned to Huayang Palace.

Huayang Palace has been used as the prince palace of Qin since its construction, and Yingzheng, who was made the crown prince, naturally moved here.

The Liu Yang Mansion where Zichu lived outside the Xianyang Palace was naturally rewarded to Yan Yan, and Xue Ji opened a chiffon teahouse in Xianyang in addition to the dance hall and restaurant, which was where she lived for a long time.

Ying Zheng found Yan Yan, and the two tigers beside him who were taller than Ying Zheng smelled the familiar smell, looked up at Ying Zheng, and then lay lazily beside Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was still sitting cross-legged on the seat, with a tea table in front of him, with a pot or two cups on it.

Ying Zheng sat opposite Yan Yan, "Sister Xue has been here." ”

Yan Yan looked at Ying Zheng calmly, "What did your father say?" ”

"As the teacher said, my father was very concerned when he heard it, and ordered Prime Minister Lu Buwei to list a detailed process."

Yan Yan nodded and said, "Merchant Lu Buwei, give him enough conditions, and he will make the most suitable choice." ”

Ying Zheng" Prime Minister Lu Buwei is in a high position as a businessman, and he can't see through the general trend of the world, and he is just a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate anyone, since Lu Buwei can bet on your father with all his strength when he is disgraced and down, he must also have a certain understanding of the current situation in the world, as long as he is not blinded by power, then he will be a good person to govern the country." ”

Ying Zheng asked, "Teacher, why is this?" ”

Yan Yan said, "When a businessman lives for profit, when he has enough chips in his hand and can know a certain general trend of the world, then in order to pursue the interests of steady profit and no loss, the businessman will bet all the chips in his hand and then wait for the harvest." ”

Yan Yan looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Such a person is very easy to control and kill. ”

Ying Zheng "As long as he tells him the value of this commodity and the truth behind it, the businessman who is blinded by interests will take a risk and then give it a go." ”

"Just put a trivial piece of information in it to mislead him, and when he enters the huge net of compilation, he can catch it all."

Yan Yan nodded.

Ying Zheng: "My father seems to be intending to let the teacher enter the court of the Qin State. ”

Yan Yan said: "This is nature. ”

"What a dynasty is most afraid of is that the minister is strong and the king is weak, Lü Buwei has placed a heavy bet on your father, and what he is waiting for is the arrival of this moment."

"Your father is naturally afraid that Lü Buwei will repay him with kindness, and naturally needs someone to contain him, and he can't let Lü Buwei feel his defense, so I naturally became a shackle in the hands of your father to contain Lü Buwei."

Ying Zheng nodded.

Yan Yan looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Remember, being a king is about balance. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and saluted, "Xiao Zheng remembered." ”

The next day.

The chamberlain in charge of Zi Chu's will in the palace appeared in Huayang Palace.

"The King's Decree."

Ying Zheng and Yan Yan bowed and saluted.

"Nian Yanyan rescued the queen and the prince from Zhao, escorted the queen and the prince back to Qin, and taught the prince to be meritorious."

"Feng Yanyan is the young master of the crown prince, and he is given the title of five doctors."

Yan Yan led the order and saluted, "Thank you, King." ”
