It's a pity that Xia Tong is not there, and he can't find anyone to ask about the year.

Lü Buwei may know, but Lü Buwei definitely doesn't dare to say it.

Lin Zhen left regretfully, and Qin Wangzheng glared at Lin Zhen's back.

Obviously, he was well aware that Uncle Lin was trying to see him laugh.

He began to hesitate to choose between being scolded by his uncle and revenge in the dream realm.

But he hadn't hesitated yet, and what Prince Yan had done made him not need to hesitate.

After Prince Dan returned to China, his fear of Qin and the King of Qin was deeply rooted in his bones, and he still did what he did in the dream of Qin Wangzheng - he secretly recruited strong men and tried to assassinate Qin Wangzheng. King Yan actually secretly supported it.

Prince Dan was very well covered, Lin Zhen and Cai Ze kept staring at Prince Dan, and only then did they find clues.

Qin Wangzheng was stunned. Yan Wang is also involved?

Also. Prince Dan's actions in Yan Kingdom, how could King Yan not know? What's more, whether it is to dedicate the city or to send an envoy, it must be agreed by King Yan. King Yan must also be one of the masterminds. After the matter was revealed, he put all the blame on his son, pretending to know nothing, and used the head of Prince Dan to calm his anger.

From forcing Le Yi away, to constantly finding the wrong time to attack Zhao Guo, and then trying to assassinate himself, the Yan Kings of the past dynasties were very stupid.

Not to mention the strict defense of Qin's defense, although Da Yingzheng was indeed accidentally assassinated due to negligence, according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible to send an assassin who has never had an assassination record to go deep into the palace of the Qin King to assassinate him.

Even if the retreat of 10,000 steps is successful, the Qin State will only lose a Qin king, and it will soon be able to elect a new Qin king.

There may be chaos in the Qin State for a while, but with the strength of the Qin State, it will not leave an opportunity for other countries to take advantage of, but only delay the offensive.

After that, no matter which new Qin king succeeds to the throne, the first thing must be to attack the Yan State to take revenge.

Yan Kingdom is outside the Central Plains, if you are obedient enough, it is likely to be able to stay until the end, and the Yan King lineage may also be able to get a good death.

When they assassinated the King of Qin, they were fighting with the Qin State and went to exterminate the clan.

Lin Zhen and Cai Ze were in a very strange mood. They always felt that Zheng'er had already guessed that King Yan and Prince Dan were going to assassinate him, so they were angry in advance.

It must be an illusion.

How can anyone take revenge in advance for something that didn't happen in the future?

But it's hard not to think there.

Because Qin Wangzheng practiced his sword more frequently after learning about Prince Dan's actions, he seemed to be overly excited when he looked at it.

Since he succeeded to the throne, Qin Wangzheng has been busy with government affairs and rarely travels.

Now he even pushed aside government affairs, organized people to go hunting in Lishan, and personally competed with strong men who hunted fierce beasts.

Watching Qin Wangzheng knock down the strong men elected by the nobles one after another, Lin Zhen and Cai Ze put their hands in their sleeves and whispered to each other.

Lin Zhen: "Zheng'er is full of energy." ”

Cai Ze: "Zheng'er is very strong. Do we still need to sneak weapons into court? ”

The courtiers of the Qin State were not allowed to bring weapons when they entered the palace to meet the King of Qin, and only a few courtiers who were deeply trusted by the King of Qin had the honor of carrying swords to the court. Lin Zhen and Cai Ze had the honor of bringing a sword to the court during the reign of King Qin Renwen, but they were usually too lazy to bring it.

Zhu Xiang had already won the honor of bringing a sword into the palace during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, but it was useless for him to bring it, so he never brought it. The honor of being able to take away King Qin's little lamb at any time is much more powerful than the honor of bringing a sword.

Lin Zhen: "I don't think I need it. Zheng'er is better than the two of us, and he is worthy of being a student taught by Li Mu himself. ”

Cai Ze: "Then do you want to tell Zhu Xiang secretly?" ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "When Zhu Xiang hears that Zheng'er has been assassinated, he will definitely rush back with Xue Ji in a hurry." If Zheng'er can hide it from his husband and wife, let's let Zheng'er go this time. ”

Cai Ze raised his eyebrows: "I bet he can't hide it." ”

Lin Zhen's laughter was super loud.

Qin Wang Zhenggang won a strong man, and he couldn't think of it with disdain.

Those strong men raised by nobles are very different from the real strong men in the army, and they let them win with one hand.

Hearing Lin Zhen's laughter, he glared back in displeasure.

Uncle Lin is definitely playing some bad idea!

Zhao Gao noticed the displeasing color of King Qin, and thought thoughtfully.

Chapter 254: Zhao Gao is looking for a shortcut

Zhao Gao is very good at figuring out people's minds.

He grew up in the court and knew a lot about the tricks and tricks of the court.

Although he had not had the opportunity to meet King Qin before, the palace people who were constantly being cleaned up made him aware of King Qin's suspicion and cruelty.

After following Qin Wangzheng's side, Zhao Gao quickly adapted to the work of the chamberlain, which made Qin Wangzheng very satisfied.

But Zhao Gao didn't want to be just an internal servant.

There are two kinds of eunuchs in the palace of the Qin king, and most of the eunuchs who serve the concubines in the harem are castrated temple people. Zhao Gao was very worried that he would fall out of favor and was sent by King Qin to serve his concubines in the harem.

He is a nobleman with a name and surname, and he can go back hundreds of years and be able to connect with King Zhao. Going back a few hundred years, he is even the same sect as the King of Qin!

Zhao Gao thought that he was no worse than the ministers in the court, but he was a little unlucky. The position where those doctors in the court of the Qin State stood was where he should go.

He is now just a small chamberlain, and he still has too far to think about what he has a great future.

Zhao Gao knew that the most important thing he should do now was to improve himself, read books, practice calligraphy and martial arts, and show his talent in front of King Qin, and then King Qin would give himself a chance.

But only in terms of talent, it is difficult for him to compare with the previous dynasty's doctors.

Zhao Gao didn't want to survive, he wanted to get ahead quickly, and he wanted to take shortcuts.

The best shortcut is naturally to flatter King Qin, stand in line in time, and help King Qin when he hesitates. If it can be done, the king of Qin will regard him as a confidant, and his future will be smooth.

Is it easier to become a confidant than to hate a person together and bring down a person together?

The King of Qin was both young and ambitious. The former king's ministers restrained him everywhere, and often regarded himself as the elder of King Qin, and had no respect for King Qin, and King Qin must have complaints in his heart.

The king is a man of man, and will not allow anyone to be above them.

A mere doctor dares to call himself an elder of King Qin, isn't this the way to die?

Zhao Gao didn't know how Changping Jun and King Qin got along. Although he was in the palace, the place where Changpingjun appeared before was not something he dared to think.

He only saw how Xiangguo Lin Zhen and King Qin got along.

Lin Zhen's respect for the King of Qin was only in front of people, and the queen was very contemptuous and rude, and he even regarded King Qin as a child.

Zhao Gao once went to live in another village with the king of Qin, and Lin Zhen came uninvited and went into the wine cellar.

King Qin angrily rushed to reprimand, Lin Zhen actually spread his clothes, exposed his chest, climbed to the tree and laughed at King Qin's fat legs and short legs.

King Qin looked down at his long legs, and was silent with anger.

Zhao Gao thought that Lin Zhen insulted King Qin like this, at least he was dismissed. Who knew that Prime Minister Cai Ze and Xiangguo Lin Zhen were in the same breath, and they actually fooled him with the sentence "Lin Qing drank and mistook King Qin for when he was young", and King Qin couldn't give Lin Zhen any punishment.

It can be seen from this how ruthlessly Qin Wangzheng was suppressed by Lin Zhen and Cai Ze.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gao had already seen Lin Zhen's miserable death.

Whoever makes the King of Qin endure will be doubly burned by the anger of the King of Qin after he takes power.

Zhao Gao was very excited. He thought he had found a shortcut to becoming King Qin's confidant.

It's just that he's very cautious. Even if he was sure that Lin Zhen would die, he would not jump out early, so as not to be abandoned by King Qin, who was forbearing.

While continuing to observe the relationship between King Qin and Lin Zhen and Cai Ze, he said something dissatisfied with Lin Zhen when Lin Zhen bullied King Qin, so that King Qin gradually discovered his loyalty.

Zhao Gao is now looking at Lin Zhen's eyes very enthusiastically. In his opinion, Lin Zhen is the stepping stone for him to step to a high place.

People with big ambitions also have a big gambling nature, who would have thought that a small palace slave would dare to plot against the country?

It is precisely because they all look down on themselves that they can play with them in the palm of their hands. Zhao Gao's heart fluttered.

Lin Zhen really didn't notice Zhao Gao's malice towards him.

Qin Wangzheng didn't notice it either. When he was angry, it was normal for the people waiting next to him to echo a few words, and he didn't think about what Zhao Gao was looking forward to.

When the hunt was over, Zhao Gao pretended to sigh unintentionally, and Xiang Guo Lin Zhen and Prime Minister Cai Ze watched King Qin's victory over the wrestlers with sneering faces and whispering, it must be that the wrestlers are not strong enough.

Qin Wangzheng immediately became vigilant, and retreated from thinking alone, as if he didn't know who to write the secret edict to.

Zhao Gao looked at the flickering candle shadow on the window, and a dark smile appeared on his face.

can change from a palace slave to an internal servant, Zhao Gao's skin is naturally quite outstanding. Even if he usually has a somewhat flattering look, it is difficult for people to feel disgusted.

But now the gloomy look on his face ruined his good appearance, like some ghost in human skin.

Qin Wangzheng didn't know anything about it.

He was completely unaware that Zhao Gao was deepening his dislike for Lin Zhen and Cai Ze in a roundabout way. Now he is writing a letter to the two elders, reiterating the elders' promise to him that he will never complain to his uncle and aunt.

"They must be laughing secretly, how proud I am now, and how much trouble I will be when my uncle and aunt reprimand me." Qin Wangzheng gritted his teeth, "It seems that I still give them too few official duties!" ”

……

Zhu Xiang didn't know that another historical celebrity had been promoted by his family's side.

After the autumn harvest, Zhu Xiang did not rest. He came to the edge of the Yellow River and took advantage of the dry season to dredge the Yellow River waterway and strengthen the Yellow River embankment.

The middle stream of the Yellow River flows through the Loess Plateau, where the soil is relatively loose, and the lower reaches pass through the gentle North China Plain, where there are few tributaries in the middle and lower reaches, and sediment is easy to silt.

In the pre-Qin period, the Loess Plateau was rich in forest resources, and soil erosion was not serious.

However, at the end of the Warring States Period, with the promotion of iron tools and cattle farming, the vegetation of the Loess Plateau was gradually destroyed; The Seven Kingdoms belong to different basins of the Yellow River, and often destroy the Yellow River dikes for war, causing the Yellow River to overflow and allowing more sediment to enter the Yellow River's channel. In addition, the weather has been abnormal in recent years, and the temperature in the north has gradually decreased, and the rainfall has decreased.

Zhu Xiang was worried that something would go wrong with the Yellow River.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Yellow River is not a big problem now, it is mostly a hidden danger, and it is relatively easy to deal with it.

The Zhao people happened to be short of food, and the Qin State temporarily stopped fighting, and the granaries were full. Zhu Xiang repaired the Yellow River with work relief, and dug a few more ponds and tributaries to store water for irrigation, which can also leave the experience of governing the Yellow River for future generations.

Zhu Xiang originally didn't know much about water conservancy. He controlled the water with Li Bing in Shu County, and consulted with Zheng Guo in Wu County, and now he is half a water conservancy expert.

Coupled with his scientific knowledge of soil erosion in later generations, it was more than enough to control the Yellow River, which had not yet become an above-ground river.

The biggest difficulty in the pre-Qin management of the Yellow River was the lack of political unity along the Yellow River basin. Now that the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is owned by the Qin State, most of the troubles have been solved.

As long as Zhu Xiang wanted to do things, the power given to him by the kings of Qin in previous dynasties was almost equivalent to that of the monarch's agent. Therefore, he only handed Qin Wangzheng a document of "I want to repair the Yellow River embankment", and set off with his entourage with his luggage, and he cut first and then played, without worrying that he would mobilize so much money and food, and King Qin would not agree.

He rode a horse along the Yellow River, presided over the repairs of the original Yellow River embankments by the officials along the river, and personally drew a map of the terrain and waters along the Yellow River, preparing for the systematic management of the Yellow River after the unification of the Qin State.
