Chapter 1 Above the court, there are enemies in every eye!
In the eighth year of the reign of King Qin, Xianyang Palace, the main hall.
The twenty-one-year-old Ying Zheng has grown to a height of 1.85 meters, with thick and strong arms, and he feels that he is powerful when he sees it, and his narrow eyes contain indifference, wisdom and pride, and he looks at the ministers in the audience with a detached attitude.
It's just that his strong muscles are covered by a red-tattooed crown dress on a black background, and the kingly spirit contained in his eyes is also hidden by the green ignorance on his face.
Before the crown was really added to his head, Ying Zheng tried his best to restrain his strength and aggressiveness, and used the acting skills he exercised between life and death to perform a clear and stupid appearance.
On the same high platform, one zhang away from the left side of Yingzheng.
Xiangbang Lu Buwei sat upright on the soft couch, looking at Ying Zheng with lowered eyes, as if there were wisps of silk threads in his eyes, and he was manipulating Ying Zheng's marionette: "Your Majesty, give an order." β
After Ying Zheng was silent for a few breaths, he sighed and shook his head: "Father Zhong, Chang'an Jun is still young and inexperienced, how can he be able to command the army?" β
"Let him lead the army to attack Zhao, my Great Qin will be defeated, and I don't know how many Great Qin good sons and daughters will die in vain!"
"Widow, how can you bear it?"
And Ying Zheng's words seem to have given some people courage.
Han Cang, the official of Zhisu, bowed his hand and admonished in a deep voice: "Please advise!" β
"Chang'an Jun is good at words, but he doesn't know the art of battle formation, and he has never even set foot on the battlefield!"
"Chang'anjun doesn't know soldiers!"
"This time, my Great Qin sent troops to attack Zhao, not only to expand the territory, but also to avenge the revenge of the Five Kingdoms against Qin two years ago, and my Great Qin needs a hearty victory!"
"According to Weichen's opinion, Chang'anjun is incapable of carrying such a burden."
"Weichen advised, when the general Wang Jian is invited to be the main general, Chang'an Jun can be the deputy general to coerce him!"
Ying Zheng hurriedly nodded: "Father Zhong, the widow thinks that Han Shangqing's words are reasonable. β
"How many generals I have in Great Qin, when will it be Chang'anjun's turn to take command and go on the expedition?"
Chang Yu stepped forward and refuted loudly: "Han Shangqing is also a big mistake!" β
"All fierce generals have their first time in battle."
"Chang'an Jun is sixteen years old, and he has the merit of expanding the land for hundreds of miles, he is really a great talent in the world, why does Han Shangqing say that Chang'an Jun does not know soldiers?"
"Han Shangqing said this, if it is spread out, I am afraid that it will not make the world think that Chang'an Jun is cowardly!"
Han Cang hurriedly made up for it: "This official has no intention of Chang'an Jun to fight. β
"It's just that this battle is very important, and I, Da Qinhe, should use the veteran who has been in battle for a long time to seek a big victory, not use Chang'anjun, who has never been on the battlefield!"
When Han Cang began to argue, his already small initiative had been completely lost.
Chang Yu smiled, didn't even pay attention to Han Cang's search, but bowed to Ying Zheng and said in a deep voice:
"As the son of the previous king, Chang'an Jun may become the head of the royal family in the future, and he should take on the responsibility of fighting for Daqin."
"As for the king's worries? Ling Yi Cheng will be the deputy general of Chang'anjun, and it can be solved. β
"Weichen recommended General Fan Yuzhi as a deputy general."
"The minister thinks that there is Chang'an Jun, a young talent, who is in charge, and Fan Yu, who is old and serious, as a deputy general, and the king is worry-free!"
With the words of Chang Yu falling, a group of courtiers came out to advise:
"The king is benevolent, but as a king, he should also know people and make good use of them, this battle is dominated by Chang'an Jun, and he will be a big victory!"
"Didn't Wang Shangmo suppress Chang'anjun, so he didn't want Chang'anjun to take command of the expedition?"
"The minister admonishes again, please Chang'an Jun to take command of Zhao!"
Bursts of sound converged into a strong sense of oppression and attacked Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng's hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, and the nails were deeply sunken into the flesh.
He knew that under this general trend, he was powerless to return to heaven!
The ministers asked him to give the order to give him face.
But if he doesn't accept this face, LΓΌ Buwei can 'replace' him and give orders!
Ying Zheng was even more reluctant to agree, so he could only confront with silence.
Lu Buwei glanced at Ying Zheng deeply, and then looked at Ying Cheng, who was sitting in the first column under the high platform: "The ministers are all talking about whether Chang'anjun is in command and fighting Zhao, why does Chang'anjun not say a word?" β
The words attracted the attention of all the courtiers to fall on Ying Chengcheng.
Facing a pair of scrutinizing eyes, Ying Chengcheng sighed in his heart.
No one knows that he is a traverser, and he is also a traverser who wears a womb.
Knowing that after coming to Daqin, Ying Chengcheng felt that with his knowledge from later generations, he would definitely be able to crush this group of ancients!
But the reality has given Ying Chengcheng a series of big fights!
The intensity of the internal struggle in Daqin today can be called terrifying.
Even Yingzheng, who will become the first emperor of the ages in the future, is like a puppet in the powerless and powerless present, and is vied by all forces.
He is powerless, powerless, and even has no name and righteousness, why should he fight with this group of old foxes?
Even if Ying Chengcheng knew very well that Lu Buwei's advice that seemed to give him military merits was actually for his life.
What can he do?!
Ying Chengcheng could only get up and give up his hand and respond in a low voice:
"Trembling, almost afraid to speak."
Lu Buwei smiled heartily: "Chang'anjun is too humble!" This is not the posture that my good Qin man should have! β
Seeing that Ying Chengcheng did not take the initiative to ask for battle, leaving him with dignity, Lu Buwei had no intention of saying much, and directly ordered in a deep voice:
"Pass the king's order!"
"With Chang'an Jun Ying Cheng Cheng as the main general, Fan Yu as the deputy general, send 100,000 troops to attack Zhao!"
"Hurry up and make no mistakes!"
Chang Yu and other courtiers immediately surrendered their hands and shouted:
"King Shengming!"
Ying Zheng's heart was bitter.
Shengming?
This is not an order of the widow at all!
After Li Si engraved the royal order on the bamboo slips, LΓΌ Buwei looked at Ying Chengcheng: "Chang'an Jun Yingcheng Chengcheng, still don't accept the order?" β
Ying Chengcheng took the bamboo slip handed by Li Si with seven points of trepidation and three points of expectation, and shouted loudly:
"Minister, Ying Cheng, Respect the Order!"
Lu Buwei bowed his head with satisfaction: "Very good!" β
Daqin and others will not convene the ministers to open a great court meeting, and the purpose of today's great court meeting is to use the statements of hundreds of officials to force Yingzheng to submit.
Now that Ying Zheng has been silenced and Ying Cheng has succumbed, there is no need for this court discussion to continue.
When the ministers retreated, Ying Zheng staggered and stood up: "Father Zhong, the widow is unwell, so he will retire first." β
"Chang'anjun, come to support the widow."
LΓΌ Buwei gently advised: "The king will go by himself, but please remember the Wen book, today the king should read "Go to Private"! β
Ying Zheng paused, didn't answer, just let Ying Cheng support himself and walked to the apse.
All the way to the imperial study, Ying Zheng suddenly ordered:
"The widow wants to deal with the recital, so let's disperse."
Dozens of eunuchs who came along the way all looked embarrassed:
"Returning to the king, serving the king with you is the decree of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and we dare not disobey it."
"While the king was dealing with the recital, we stood at the door, and never looked at it."
"The king of all hopes is considerate of the ministers and others."
Ying Zheng laughed at himself in his heart.
Let the king be considerate of his vassals and allow his vassals to put the will of the queen mother above the will of the king.
Isn't that a big joke!
But for these eunuchs, it was so natural.
How sad it is!
Just before Ying Zheng was about to reprimand further, Ying Cheng took the lead and asked:
"Meng Shilang, the king's order is about to be issued, can you hear it?"
The squire Meng Tian immediately turned sideways and stopped at the door of the imperial study, his eyes swept over the eunuchs, and he scolded in a deep voice:
"The king's order has been issued, and the four seas are from it."
"Don't wait yet, get back quickly!"
The eunuchs were still reluctant to give up, but Meng Tian had already closed the door of the imperial study, and personally led the attendants to block the door.
Letting the squire and the eunuch argue outside the door, Ying Zheng walked to the corner of the imperial study, opened a wine bottle, scooped up two thick wines, and Ying Zheng handed one of them to Ying Chengcheng.
First, he drank half a jue by himself, and then Ying Zheng sighed softly:
"If you have the power to fight, can the king be happy?"
Ying Chengcheng also took a sip of wine, shook his head and laughed at himself: "Got the right to fight? β
"It's almost the same with the axe on the neck!"
"What's the gratification?"
Ying Zheng's eyes were relieved: "Brother Wang is really sober. β
"This time I ordered Brother Wang to take command of Zhao, although it seems to be a courtier's advice, but it is actually the meaning of the middle father, and the queen mother of the two palaces also has a lot of help."
"These people won't be so kind to you."
"And what they are willing to let you control an army of 100,000 must be very great!"
After a pause, Ying Zheng closed his eyes, and his voice became more helpless:
"What they want, it's your life!"
Ying Chengcheng's attitude was quite calm: "I know." β
"Since the collapse of the Empress Dowager Xia, the foolish brother has been the target of everyone in this court."
"I don't know how many people want the foolish brother to die quickly."
"They can endure until after the Empress Dowager Xia is buried, which is beyond the expectations of the foolish brother."
The first king Yingyiren only had two sons in his life, namely Ying Chengcheng and Ying Zheng.
During Ying Zheng's time in Zhao State, almost everyone felt that Ying Zheng would never come back in his life.
The 'only' son of Ying Yiren, Ying Chengcheng, is the natural successor of King Qin.
For Ying Chengcheng at that time, he only needed to wait for Ying Yiren to die peacefully, and he could successfully become the prince.
But what Ying Chengcheng thinks about himself doesn't matter at all!
At that time, Ying Yiren's titular mother, the Empress Dowager Huayang, sat firmly in the top spot of the harem, but Ying Yiren's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Xia, was ready to experience the taste of the master of the harem.
In order to gain an advantage, the Empress Dowager Xia encircled Ying Chengchan's biological mother, Mrs. Han, and then took the reward after Ying Chengchan's accession to the throne as the future expectation, and took Mrs. Han's maternal power as the basic plate, gathered a large number of talents, and quickly formed a Korean foreign relative force in the court, and tried to attack the Empress Dowager Huayang.
And just when the Korean relatives rolled up their sleeves and worked hard, Lu Buwei actually returned to China with Yingzheng!
There is only one throne, but Empress Dowager Xia and Lu Buwei both want to push their puppets to sit on that throne.
It's a never-ending struggle!
Now that the Empress Dowager Xia has passed away, and the Korean relatives led by the Empress Dowager Xia have no leader, how can LΓΌ Buwei let go of the opportunity to fall into the well?
This is a battle for the throne!
Ying Cheng Chan will not die for a day, and Lu Buwei will not be at ease for a day!
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Cheng with a painful heart, and sighed to himself: "It's the foolish brother who is sorry for you." β
"If it weren't for the stupid brother's delay in grasping power, how could he have forced you into such a desperate situation!"
After drinking the wine, Ying Zheng sincerely promised: "Brother Wang, the widow will try his best to delay time." β
"You take advantage of this time to get married quickly."
"When my brother and daughter-in-law give birth to an heir, my brother should treat him like a parent and son, and always stay by his side to raise him!"
Leaving a bloodline inheritance for Ying Cheng Chan is the only thing Ying Zheng can do for Ying Cheng Chan.
Ying Chengcheng also drank all the wine, and looked up at the dome of the black hall with a smile: "The kindness of the eldest brother, the foolish brother understands it." β
"The undercurrent in this Xianyang City is turbulent, and the foolish brother is difficult to use even if he has all kinds of skills."
"And now they want to kill me by letting me lead the army to attack Zhao?"
"Heh~"
"Have they ever heard that the tiger is returning to the mountain?"
