But it is said that when King Xiang of Qin Zhuang died, Zhao Ji was only about thirty years old, and she suddenly suffered a great death and became a widow. After a few months of empty guarding, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, but fortunately, Lu Buwei was an old love, and he was happy to seduce him again and continue the former alliance. Lu Buwei is also affectionate, so he regrouped with her and turned the phoenix upside down. Gong Ecai is the queen mother's confidant, and she is tight-lipped. Qin Wangzheng was still a teenager after all, and he didn't know the scene, so the two of them secretly corresponded and were still similar to the couple.

A few years have passed, Qin Wangzheng has been weakened, and Buwei is getting old. The Empress Dowager often called, but Wei was inevitably worried, so she recommended the virtuous to replace herself. It happened that there was a prodigal son, Chang Yu, who was not called to give up, and first said to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was really happy. On the one hand, Lü Buwei made people accuse Chang Yu of being guilty and should be punished by the palace, and on the other hand, he bribed the torturer to pull out his bearded eyebrows, and did not cut the power, pretending to be a eunuch to serve the queen mother. If the Queen Mother is unsupportable, she will be able to pay attention to me at dusk. When the Empress Dowager Xia died of illness, Chang Yu had a secret discussion with the Empress Dowager, and lied that the palace was not conducive to the queen mother, and she should move to avoid trouble. Qin Wangzheng didn't know that there was fraud, so he asked his mother to migrate to Yonggong, and of course Chang Yu went. From then on, the mother and son do not have to scruple about leaving, one asks for a man, and then asks for a man, the queen mother regards it as ordinary, and seals Chang Yu as the Marquis of Changxin, eats Shanyang, and then adds the title of Taiyuan County. All the palace carriages, horses, clothes and garden galloping hunting and other situations are presided over by Chang Yu, who is really happy.

But it was said that Yingzheng called Prime Minister Lü Buwei the "middle father". The middle father, equivalent to the uncle, the Zhan Dynasty people use "uncle, Zhong, uncle, Ji" as the ranking between brothers, the uncle is the eldest and the middle is the second。。。。。。 Although the Qin state lost its monarch one after another, its military and economic strength was still very strong, and it constantly waged wars against the six coexisting states, and won victories one after another.

Among the 6 kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Wei, Yan, Han, and Zhao, Korea was the most afraid of Qin. As early as the reign of Yingzheng's father, King Zhuang Xiang, Qin and Han fought several times, and South Korea was defeated repeatedly, ceding Chenggao to Qin, and offering the party, and Korea's territory became smaller and smaller. Later, it was the five-nation alliance led by Xin Lingjun, the prince of Wei, with the participation of Korea, that defeated Qin once. As the saying goes, persimmons are pinched softly, and Qin Guo recorded this account on South Korea's head, and often threatened to make this breath on South Korea's head. Korean monarchs and ministers discussed good strategies to resist Qin all day long, but they couldn't think of a good way.

One day, Zheng Guo, an official in charge of water conservancy in South Korea, said to King Han: You don't need to fight against Qiang Qin without a single soldier. Zheng Guo's clever plan convinced King Han.

A few days later, official arrest documents were posted in various parts of South Korea, saying that Zheng Guo, a South Korean hydraulic engineer, had secretly conspired with the enemy country and plotted against him.

At the same time that Zheng Guo was being hunted everywhere in Korea, Zheng Guo came to Qin and asked the king of Qin for permission to take refuge in Qin.

Zheng Guo said to the king of Qin: "Thanks to the grace of the king's containment, the minister is willing to repay the king with his small skills in controlling the water." Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, if the water resources can be solved, Qiang Qin is just around the corner for the king of the world! ”

Zheng Guo's plan was to dig a canal to divert water from the Jing River to Luoshui, and the canal passed through Guanzhong, and the 800 miles of fertile land could be irrigated. The project will take 200,000 migrant workers and three years.

The king of Qin agreed to Zheng's water conservancy plan, and Qin invested a lot of manpower, material, and financial resources in the project. The project lasted for a year, and the Qin State spent the special funds for the expansion of the armament war, and the military salary was also transferred to the water control site, and the original plan of the Qin State to attack South Korea had to be shelved.

Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, did not approve of this water conservancy project, because the king of Qin enthusiastically supported it, so he did not dare to say anything. The project lasted for a year, and the cost of Qin was too great, and Lü Buwei became suspicious of Zheng Guo and sent someone to investigate secretly, only to learn that Zheng Guo was sent to Qin by Korea. It turned out that Zheng Guo's plan was to use this water conservancy project to drag down Qin first, so that it would not have the financial and material resources to attack Korea. In the end, Zheng Guo let this project fail again, and consumed the national strength of Qin, and then Korea and the Kwantung countries attacked Qin to strengthen Qin to death.

After Zheng Guo was captured by Lü Buwei, he confessed to his mission. Lü Buwei told the King of Qin about this, and the King of Qin said that he would interrogate Zheng Guo personally.

Lü Buwei released Zheng Guo before the King of Qin. The king of Qin immediately asked someone to untie Zheng Guo, and after Zheng Guo sat down, he said to him: "Sir is a courtier of Korea, and it is right to be loyal to King Han." Mr. was entrusted by the king of Han, valued the affairs of the king of Han, and did not hesitate to risk his life, such a spirit, Yingzheng admired very much. Now that Mr. has committed a capital crime against my Qin State, it can be said that he has repaid King Han with his life. But I don't kill Mr., Mr.'s current life has nothing to do with King Han, I beg Mr. to treat me like King Han in the future, and Yingzheng will never treat Mr. badly. ”

Zheng Guo listened to King Qin's words, and immediately knelt on the ground and said to King Qin: "Zheng Guo knows that South Korea's strength is exhausted, and all measures will only help Korea survive, and it will definitely not change the trend of strengthening King Qin's world. Now that the king doesn't kill me, the rest of my life belongs to the king, and I will definitely die to serve the king! ”

The king of Qin picked up Zheng Guo and said to him: "In the future, when the canal is completed, it will be named after Mr. Zheng Guoqu." ”

After Zheng Guo left, Lü Buwei said to the King of Qin: "The king is too lenient to Zheng Guo like this, I'm afraid it can't be justified in terms of law, right?" ”

The king of Qin said: "We have spent countless manpower and financial resources on the canal to kill Zheng Guo, and Qin State has not yet had a person who understands water conservancy to replace him. As a result, our time, financial resources, and manpower were all wasted. I don't kill Zheng Guo, let him build the canal, so that Guanzhong can solve the problem of water shortage forever, which is the solid foundation of Wang Tianxia. ”

Lü Buwei said: "The king sees far-reaching more than me. I'm just afraid of Zheng Guo。。。。。。 ”

King Qin said: "King Han only has the grace of Yu Lu to Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo will work for King Han, I have the grace of Zheng Guo's life, and Yu Lu far exceeds that of South Korea, Zheng Guo will definitely not fail me." ”

Later, it turned out that the King of Qin's handling of Zheng Guo was wise, and in less than three years, the canal was built, and the water of the Jing River flowed through the fertile fields of Guanzhong, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan was a fertile soil, which became the granary of the Qin State, laying a material foundation for the Qin State to unify China. The King of Qin did not break his promise and named the canal "Zhengguo Canal".

When the king of Qin grew up, he was born with a bee nose and long eyes, and a falcon chest and a jackal. He has a great vision in life and a very spicy approach. He is scheming, decisive, and has his own ideas for doing things. He eliminated his younger brother and some ministers who wanted to rebel, consolidated his power, and temporarily eased the contradictions within the Qin state, but greater contradictions still lurked.

The first is the contradiction between the Queen Mother and Ying Zheng. The Queen Mother is the mother of King Qin, Ying Zheng was only 13 years old when he ascended the throne, the Queen Mother often intervened in court politics, many people who wanted to be officials curryed favor with the Queen Mother, and the people recommended by the Queen Mother, King Qin always accepted, and a strong Queen Mother force was formed in the court. The representative of the Queen Mother's power is the great eunuch Chang Yu.

However, he said that he had to be the marquis of Changxin, and his authority was growing, and he conspired with the queen mother in private, planning to make his illegitimate son the heir king after the death of King Qin.

Chang Yu is very happy and often smugs. One day, he was drunk with your ministers, so they quarreled with each other, quarreled loudly, and said: "I am the false father of the king of Qin, how dare you fight with me?" Do you have no eyes and no knowledge of superiority? When the nobles heard this, they reported to the King of Qin. King Qin's reign has exceeded the crown and blood is strong, and when he suddenly heard this ugly thing, he couldn't help but be angry, and immediately decided to lead troops to arrest him.

According to the tradition of the Qin State at that time, a person had to hold a coming-of-age ceremony at the latest when he was 20 years old. But when Chang said that he was Ying Zheng's stepfather, Ying Zheng was already 21 years old and had not yet held a coming-of-age ceremony. If you can't hold a coming-of-age ceremony, you can't be pro-government, and if you win the government, you're still a stamp king, which is an unreasonable phenomenon. The only reason is that neither Lü Buwei nor Zhao Ji (in fact, it is Chang Poison) does not want Ying Zheng to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, or rather, he does not want Ying Zheng to be pro-government.

However, after the outbreak of the poisonous stepfather incident, everything was broken. Chang Poison and his cronies discussed: "It's not realistic to kill Ying Zheng in Xianyang, but you can lure Ying Zheng out of Xianyang City and then kill him." But how to win the government out of Xianyang City? Pig brains thought of a coming-of-age ceremony. He discussed with Zhao Ji and asked Ying Zheng to go to Yongdu (south of Shaanxi Fengqi, the old capital of Qin) to hold a coming-of-age ceremony according to tradition. As soon as Ying Zheng left, they staged a coup d'état in Xianyang, first stabilizing the capital Xianyang, and then attacking Yongdu and killing Ying Zheng.

This plan is feasible because Zhao Ji has a seal in his hand that can mobilize the capital Weicheng troops, but it must be used at the same time as the seal of Win Zheng. is a master of cheating, and he can completely forge the seal of winning politics, which is not a problem. The problem is, what if you don't go to Yongdu? This is very likely, because Ying Zheng already knows about his scandal. Who would be so stupid as to take a risk knowing that there is danger? Especially Win Zheng, not only is he not stupid, but he also has superhuman wisdom.

But after thinking about it, Chang Poison felt that this was not a problem, because he was not fighting alone, and his mistress Zhao Ji. Cho Ji came in handy, and she summoned Win Zheng in the name of her mother. She kindly said to Ying Zheng: "You are not too young, go to Yongdu and hurry up for the coming-of-age ceremony, come back to the government." Ying Zheng was ecstatic, but he never showed it, but said: "My health has always been bad, pro-government is a burden for me, or just like before, you and my middle father can govern."

Zhao Ji put on a straight face and said: "You are shirking your responsibility, as a king, you must fulfill the obligations of the king, not just enjoy happiness." Ying Zheng still disagreed, and the concubine was behind the curtain, holding the curtain with her hands, and she was sweating anxiously. Zhao Ji knew that her lover was sweating, and she felt sorry for her lover, so she took out the majesty she had never had before and said to Ying Zheng: "This is an order, you must go, hurry up and pack up, go."

Ying Zheng faked a few tears, stood up, walked to his mother's side, held the hand of the old lady who was about to kill him, and said: "Then I will go, you must be cautious in case of trouble, take care of your body." This sentence is a pun, but Zhao Ji was fascinated by the poison and didn't listen to it at all.

After Ying Zheng left Zhao Ji, he immediately went to find Lü Buwei. He knew very well that Chang Poison was nothing at all, but once Lu Buwei and Chang Poison united, then things would be in trouble. So he had to stabilize Lü Buwei so that he couldn't unite with him. Lü Buwei greeted Ying Zheng in his Xiangguo Mansion, and Ying Zheng pretended to be distressed and said: "The queen mother asked me to go to Yongdu to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, this is to let me be pro-government, for so many years, you and the queen mother have been in power very well, just continue."

Lu Buwei was worried about the poisoning, and when he heard what Yu Zheng said, he was even more worried. With his wisdom, where can he not hear the voice of politics? He hurriedly got up from his chair and congratulated Ying Zheng: "I didn't expect that the king has become an adult, in fact, this coming-of-age ceremony should have been held a long time ago, and I strongly support you." Ying Zheng also stood up and said, "Oh, Father Zhong, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do enough after I get into power, and I hope you will support me a lot." Lü Buwei was very frightened, he was a little dazed by Win Zheng, and said, "If you have something to say, the king, just say it."

Ying Zheng felt that it was not interesting to go around any longer, so he said bluntly: "After I leave, Xianyang City will be taken care of by the middle father, if someone has a non-dividing trip, the middle father can manage it, and if he can't manage it, don't mix it up." Lu Buwei pretended to be surprised and said, "What is the king's words, Xianyang City is very peaceful." Win Zheng smiled and said, "Father Zhong, you see, you let me have something to say, and when I do, you are sloppy again." Lu Buwei took a deep breath, stood up straight, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be on your side and wait for you to come back from Yongdu." Ying Zheng said: "Very good, then I'll go." ”

The king should have the demeanor of a king, after Ying Zheng found out about his mother Zhao Ji, he didn't have any expression, he already had the maturity that an emperor should have, and he responded calmly, he didn't lose his wrong judgment, quiet and a little scary, but it made the opponent a little frightened, and in desperation, he could only force Ying Zheng out of Xianyang, ready to assassinate, Ying Zheng is such a smart person, secretly arrange everything, both to regain power and get rid of those who plot against him.

Unexpectedly, the matter was leaked. After Chang Yu got the news, he decided to strike first, and he chose to attack King Qin on the day of King Qin's coronation.

In April 238 BC, the 21-year-old King of Qin held a coronation ceremony, and from then on, Prime Minister Lü Buwei was required to surrender all power to the King of Qin, and the Empress Dowager was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.

On this day, the king of Qin first went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors, and then worshiped the queen mother, and the queen mother put a crown on the king of Qin and put on a sword, which means that in the future, Yingzheng will be in charge of the power of the Qin country.

Immediately after the coronation ceremony, the King of Qin returned to his palace and was just about to fall asleep when it was reported that someone in the Empress Dowager's palace asked to see him. King Qin has placed secret agents in the palace of the Queen Mother, and now there must be something important to ask for a meeting late at night.

The visitor told the King of Qin that Chang Yu was gathering guards and distributing weapons to the diners under his door. Then he led his men and horses to surround the palace where the king of Qin lived.

King Qin stood on the platform and questioned Chang Yu. Chang Yu said: "There is a thief in the palace, and he came to arrest him at the behest of the queen mother. ”

King Qin sneered and pointed at Chang Yu and said, "There is indeed a thief in the palace, and the thief is you!" ”

When the army led by Chang Yu heard King Qin say this, there was a small commotion. Chang Yu took out the edict of the Queen Mother and said to everyone: "I am ordered to catch the thief, and the edict of the Queen Mother is here!" "Chang Yu is a close confidant of the Queen Mother, and the jade seal has always been kept by him, so it is certainly not difficult to make a fake edict.

Chang Yu led people to rush into the palace gate, and the King of Qin shouted: "The bounty for capturing Chang Yu alive is one million, and the bounty for killing Chang Yu is 500,000!" ”

When someone in the team heard that there was such a heavy reward, they immediately turned against Chang Yu and started a fierce battle with Chang Yu's cronies. At this time, the Qin soldiers had already received an order from the King of Qin to rush to the rescue. The rabble led by Chang Yu could not resist the well-trained army, and they were defeated one after another. Chang Yu himself was also captured alive and was torn apart from the east gate after interrogation. Chang Yu's entire family was also killed, and the two illegitimate sons with the Queen Mother were also killed. The Queen Mother was driven to Yanyang Palace, and sent officials to restrain her and not allow her freedom. Even the Chang Yu diners who did not participate in the matter were exiled to Bashu.

After the King of Qin quelled Chang Yu's rebellion, Prime Minister Lü Buwei was dismissed from Xiangguo, removed from the title of "Middle Father", left Kyoto, and returned to the fiefdom of Luoyang to retire.

The ministers of Qin and others discussed with each other, blaming the king of Qin for betraying his mother's ingratitude, which was too much, so there were a few fierce officials who went up to the court and asked the king of Qin to welcome back the queen mother. Qin Wangzheng was originally a mean and unkind person, and when he read the admonition, he became more and more angry, and even ordered the execution of the admonition, and showed the court, and those who dared to admonish died. There are also a few who are not afraid of death and go to the deaf again, but they end up begging for hardship and separating their heads. A total of 27 people have been killed, at this time Mao Jiao said to the king of Qin, "If you want to take the world, you must respect filial piety", and the king of Qin released his mother and let her act as a figure who can make the king of Qin filial.

After Lü Buwei returned to the fiefdom of Luoyang, he stayed at home and wanted to spend his old age here. Unexpectedly, one day the King of Qin sent someone to send a letter, which read: "What merit did Jun and Qin Yan have to seal the country of Henan and eat 100,000 households?" Who is the relationship between Jun and Qin, and they are called the middle father? Now you can lead your family to migrate to Shuzhong quickly, and you don't have to stay! ”

Lu Buwei couldn't help but cry when he read the letter. I thought I was your father! You still ask me who I belong to? Where is there no heaven and earth? How can I have you without me? I wanted to write a defense book, but I thought that the father and son system were ambiguous, and I didn't say it clearly, if Tang stood out, it would lead to a quick death. After thinking about it, he felt that it was to show that he was his own father, and King Qin would not admit it, let alone do a paternity test with him! That night, Lü Buwei drank wine and was killed. Precisely:

Let you use all kinds of tricks,

In the end, it was still a failure.

After Lü Buwei's death, the king of Qin issued another holy decree: all officials who participated in Lü Buwei's funeral were dismissed from their posts and exiled. Officials who did not attend the funeral, but had a close relationship with Lü Buwei during his lifetime, retained their official positions and went into exile. Lü Buwei's descendants will never be allowed to enter the court as officials.

After the king of Qin stabilized the interior, he immediately began to use troops against the six countries of Kwantung to realize his grand plan of unifying the world.

Ying Zheng was born in Zhao State, and he was very good with Yan Prince Dan when he was a teenager, but Prince Dan took away his first love (笤笤, the daughter of King Zhao, the first beauty of Zhao Kingdom). When Yingzheng was established as the king of Qin, Prince Dan of Yan went to Qin as a hostage again. The King of Qin treated Prince Dan of Yan very unfriendly, so Prince Dan of Yan fled to his country. After returning, he sought an assassin to assassinate Yingzheng, but where did he find this assassin?

Later, everyone knew that Prince Yan Dan chose Jing Ke.

When Prince Yan Dan first got Jing Ke, he was very happy, a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on five days, and he was considerate of Jing Ke and should do everything. Once Jing Ke felt that a singer's hand was very good-looking, and accidentally praised it, and that night Prince Yan sent the singer's hand over.

The singer's hand was sent over, what about the singer, of course she fainted in pain, Jing Ke likes the hand of a living person, what do you mean by cutting it off? So Prince Yan Dan is also a bastard!

When the Qin army approached the southern border of the Yan Kingdom, Prince Dan hurriedly went to Jing Ke and said, "The Qin soldiers will cross the Yishui sooner or later to attack the Yan Kingdom, although I want to serve like this all the time, but how can I do it?"

Jing Ke heard his words, this was urging me! Actually, it's not that I don't want to go, but I have to have a chance to get close to King Qin!

However, the opportunity was created, and Jing Ke thought of an idea: "Take Fan Yuzhi's head and the map of the place where the governor of Yan Kingdom is a gift, and the King of Qin will definitely receive me, and I will have a chance to start!"

"Really," Prince Dan shook Jing Ke's hand, "If this matter is done, I will be willing to hand over the Yan Kingdom to you!" But General Fan Yuzhi came to me from the Qin State, and I can't betray him!"

Jing Ke didn't say anything when he heard it.

Prince Dan found a helper for Jing Ke - Qin Wuyang, Qin Wuyang is a descendant of Qin Kai, a famous general of Yan State, who dared to kill people at the age of thirteen, and ordinary people did not dare to look at him squarely.

In the blink of an eye, five months passed, and Prince Dan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and went to urge Jing Ke again, Jing Ke was unhappy, he said: "I'm waiting for a friend, and I don't mean not to go at all." Qin Wuyang, I'm afraid I can't do it, since the master must act immediately, then okay!"

So Jing Ke came to Fan Yuqi's residence and said to him, "I'm going to Qin to kill the King of Qin, and I want to borrow Your Excellency's head, is it okay?"

Fan Yuzhi said politely when he heard this: "King Qin should be killed, and my head brother can use it." After speaking, he wiped his neck with a sword, and the incision was still neat.

When Prince Dan heard the news, he couldn't help but cry when he lay down on the corpse, and after crying, he put Fan Yuzhi's head into a box, and gave Jing Ke the "Mrs. Xu Dagger" specially bought in advance. Mrs. Xu's dagger was already sharp, and the prince even asked people to burn the dagger red and dip it in venom, no matter who touched a little bit, they would immediately bleed to death.

In the early winter season, there is a solemn atmosphere, the yellow leaves are full of ponds, the withered grass is all over the sky, and the cold Yishui River is cold. Prince Dan wore white clothes to see off Jing Ke, and Jing Ke looked up to the sky and roared:

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold,

The strong man is gone, and he will never return!"

After singing, Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang carried Fan Yuzhi's head and the map of Du Kang's place, and the map contained Mrs. Xu's dagger in the map, and drove in the direction of Qin, never looking back.

The later story is familiar to everyone, and the success is a failure!

Jing Ke was reluctant to act, according to his own words, to wait for an assistant. But Prince Dan couldn't wait. So, who is Jing Ke waiting for?

Unfortunately, more than 2,000 years have passed, and there is no evidence to prove the existence of this person.

Later generations speculated that this person may be Jing Ke's good friend Gao Yuanli. After Jing Ke's defeat, Gao Yanli was bent on avenging him, and it happened that Qin Shi Huang heard that he was skilled in building and building, so he summoned Gao Yuanli. Someone told Qin Shi Huang, "This person is a good friend of Jing Ke." But Qin Shi Huang wanted to listen to Gao Yuanli's music, but also worried about his personal safety, so Kaoru blinded him and let him build again.

After Gao gradually lost his sight, Qin Shi Huang thought that it was too peaceful. But Lao Gao was very persistent, he put the lead into the building, and when he entered the palace and approached Qin Shi Huang, he raised the building to attack.

It's a pity that a blind man is always a blind man, and if he misses a blow, he will never have a second chance.

Qin Shi Huang killed Gao Yuanli and never dared to approach the Six Kingdoms again for the rest of his life, and the person Jing Ke was waiting for was not Gao Yuanli, it was really a mystery through the ages! Later generations have poems that sigh:

Yan Dan is good at raising soldiers, and aims to repay Qin.

Recruit centurions, and get Jingqing in the twilight of the year.

The gentleman died as a confidant, and he lifted his sword out of Yanjing.

The male finger is dangerous, and the fierce air is full of long tassels.

I know that I will not return, and I will have a name for the future.

When to board the car, fly into the Qin Court.

It is more than 10,000 miles and more than 1,000 cities.

In the past, there were no people, and today the water is still cold.

Later, Qin Shi Huang destroyed Han in 17 years, Zhao in 19 years, Wei in 22 years, Chu in 24 years, Yan in 25 years, and Qi in 26 years, and the world was unified.

King Qin sat in the palace one day, remembering that the name of the Son of Heaven has been different since ancient times. For example, the three emperors are called emperors, the five emperors are called emperors, and the three dynasties of Xia and Shang are all called kings. Qin was originally a prince, but in the Warring States Period, he was called king with all countries, and the name of the king is no longer surprising. Historians often say that the fortunes of the world have ups and downs, the king is not as good as the emperor, and the emperor is not as good as the emperor. Now that the world is unified, if you don't take advantage of this time to change to a very noble title, how can it mean that it has been successfully passed on to future generations? The mind has been decided, and nothing has happened overnight.

In the morning of the next day, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in His Majesty, and the King of Qin sat in the Jinluan Treasure Palace, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the incense of the imperial furnace was around. The ministers have finished worshipping and dancing, and Wendong and Wuxi are separated on both sides. The civil officials include Prime Minister Wang Xuan, Imperial Historian Feng Zai, and Imperial Lieutenant Li Si. The generals include Meng Tian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li. All of them are neatly dressed, and the swords are sonorous, which is really the atmosphere of the new dynasty. When the king of Qin saw that the division of the ministers had been decided, he discussed the matter of changing the number. Prime Minister Wang Juan said: "Although the three emperors and five emperors are the co-masters of the world, the land they actually occupy is only a thousand miles away. Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, those who call the 'kings' have truly owned the world, and their great achievements can last for seven or eight hundred years. Therefore, it is best to say that the title of 'king' is best. Ying Zheng listened but didn't think so. He said: "The 700 years of the Shang Dynasty and the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty are nothing, what I want is a dynasty that will be passed down forever." At this time, Li Si spoke, and he said, "Now the four seas are in the pocket of His Majesty, which has never happened before. His Majesty's exploits are naturally beyond the reach of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. In ancient times, there were emperors, emperors of the earth, and emperors of Thailand, and the emperor of Thailand was the most noble, and the ministers thought that His Majesty could be called the emperor of Thailand. Ying Zheng nodded again and again after hearing this: "In my opinion, there is still not much difference between the 'Thai Emperor'." It is better to go to 'Thailand' to stay 'emperor', adopt the ancient 'emperor' name, and call 'emperor', which means "virtue and three emperors, merit over five emperors". ”

After the King of Qin finished speaking, he thought: The law is done by the Duke of this week, and after the death of mortals, they will act according to their lives, and add their nicknames. Those who are good will be rebuked, and those who are wicked will be rebuked. Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you will not be criticized after your death, and you can see that King You and King Li of the Zhou Dynasty are examples. No one dares to speak of it when I am alive; When he dies, he will be praised and degraded. Who cares about right and wrong after death? I'm in charge! Because of his determination to abolish the law, the next edict said:

I have heard that the ancients have a name but no name; When the ancients died, they were determined by their life and conduct. In this way, the son can discuss the father, and the minister can discuss the king, which is very meaningless, and I will not take it. Therefore, from now on, the law is removed. I am the first emperor, and the descendants of later generations are counted according to the number, from the second, third and even ten thousand generations, and the inheritance is endless.

Later generations read this edict and saw that the first emperor wanted to pass on the country to all generations. Who knew that the second would die, and they all laughed at his stupidity.
