"Brother Wang, when did you become so mysterious?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.
"To be honest, I want to use Brother Wang's coronation ceremony to lure Wei Wuji to Qin. The time has come."
"It's a good idea to use the name of the enthronement ceremony. We are inviting six countries to attend the ceremony, especially people from the Zhao Kingdom. I really want to meet them."
Ying Zheng had suffered a lot in Zhao State, so he had no good impression of Zhao State at all, and he had a deep hatred for the son of a powerful man who had bullied him in Zhao State and the powerful people behind him.
After Qin destroyed Zhao, all those people met a miserable end.
A mere proton became the First Emperor who ruled the world. Ying Zheng can also be said to be the template for male protagonists in Shuangwen. He is qualified to shout out the phrase "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty"!
"Brother Wang, don't worry. Sooner or later, those people in Zhao will look good." Cheng Qiao stretched out his hand and patted Ying Zheng's shoulder gently.
Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "This matter was already discussed by my father when he was still here. Just go ahead and do it according to your ideas. If you need anything, let me know."
"good."
"Brother Wang, do you want me to find someone to deal with those people in Zhao Kingdom?"
"No, when the army breaks through HD, I will go to HD personally."
"Okay, I believe that day won't be too far away."
"Yeah, it won't be too far away, but I still hope that day comes soon."
"Brother Wang, you have to work hard. Although the rule of the Qin State is that you take office after being crowned at the age of twenty, but if Brother Wang performs well and wins the approval of the courtiers, it will not be a problem to take office in advance."
"That's right. I will try my best to take charge of my brother's duties as soon as possible."
…
Historically, including in anime, the reason why Lu Buwei was able to control the Qin government and become a powerful official, calling himself Ying Zheng Zhongfu, and even Ying Zheng was also called Zhongfu, was the full support of Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
Since Ying Zheng was young and did not personally take charge of the government, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji could be said to listen to the government behind the curtain. However, Zhao Ji's temperament was simply impatient with the complicated government affairs, and even if she was patient, she could not handle the government affairs by herself.
Because of the special relationship with Lu Buwei, and out of trust in Lu Buwei, he gave up all the power to handle government affairs, and almost everything he reported was accurate.
This made it easier for Lu Buwei to eliminate dissidents, and he didn't have to worry about backlash, because even if the matter came to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji would not help her relatives.
Of course, Lu Buwei did not dare to go too far. He had to use a handle or create a handle to exclude dissidents. He could not just casually dismiss people who did not deal with him.
In the palace, there are also Queen Mother Xia and Queen Mother Huayang who check and balance Zhao Ji.
Although these two are not qualified to listen to politics behind the curtain, after all, they are Ying Zheng's grandmothers, not mothers. They cannot interfere in everything, but there is still no problem in intervening in some things.
For example, the Queen Mother Huayang wants to find an official position for her admired relatives from Chu, the future Lord Changping, and Lord Changwen. How can Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji not give her face?
I will definitely give it, and the official position arranged cannot be too bad, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the Queen Mother Huayang. The Queen Mother Xia still feels the same way.
Especially intervening in accounting matters is more open and aboveboard, and can even be used to lose Zhao Ji's face and teach Zhao Ji a lesson.
Therefore, after the death of Queen Mother Xia, Ying Zheng's biological grandmother, Zhao Ji became even more arrogant.
Those who are close are dear, so the Queen Mother Xia is more afraid of Zhao Ji than the Queen Mother Huayang. Historically, the Queen Mother Xia did not support Ying Zheng, but the funeral specifications after the death of the Queen Mother Xia were approved by Ying Zheng, the highest six emperors of the emperor.
All in all, without Zhao Ji's full support, Lu Buwei would not have the conditions to become a powerful minister.
This world is even more like this. Because Ying Zichu lived for two or three more years, the personnel structure of the courtiers was more complete and stable, and he made slight adjustments before his death.
As long as Lu Buwei is not given the opportunity to seduce Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei will never be able to become a powerful minister.
They are all outstanding people in high positions. If there is no one in the upper position to stand up, it will be very difficult to pull down one person, let alone a group of people.
It is impossible for Cheng Qiao to give Lu Buwei a chance to hook up with Zhao Ji, whether it is for personal reasons or government affairs.
Once he became aware of Lu Buwei's thoughts, Cheng Qiao would personally enter the Prime Minister's Mansion at night and talk to Lu Buwei about his life and ideals.
After Yinhuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he became increasingly important and took charge of part of the defense of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Even without this internal support, Cheng Qiao doesn't think that the Prime Minister's Mansion can stop him from infiltrating. So Taoism, Yin-Yang classics, Taoism, and Yin-Yang techniques are not in vain. There are many ways to infiltrate.
Cheng Qiao estimated that Lu Buwei was causing trouble in the palace and controlling the government, so the prostitution incident would probably not happen.
This is undoubtedly a good thing. If internal friction is controlled within a certain range, Qin will be stronger in the future.
The losses caused by the Laodu Rebellion to the Qin State were not light. Fortunately, Lu Buwei did not rebel. Otherwise, the Qin State would have been seriously damaged by the continuous and violent internal strife, which would have had an irreversible negative impact on the unification process.
Ying Zheng will not trust anyone anymore and become a true loner.
This is a tragedy.
…
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to discuss with Brother Wang."
Cheng Qiao had just stood up when he suddenly thought about the academy and quickly sat down again.
"You just have to make the decision yourself."
Ying Zheng waved his hand lightly, thinking it was something similar to Wei Wuji's or something smaller. He didn't want his brother to vent his anger on him, which would endanger his friendship.
"I can't make the decision. This matter is not a private matter, but a matter of national politics."
"Um?"
"Let us know if you have any good ideas."
"Brother Wang, don't we have new papermaking and printing technologies? I think..."
Cheng Qiao started from the beginning, saying that the inspiration of the Academy came from papermaking and printing, and talked about it from beginning to end.
"Elementary School Palace, Middle School Palace, University Palace?"
"Military families are given priority, and Lao Qin people are given priority."
As Ying Zheng listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, until he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Brother Wang should know the importance of military affiliation."
"Old Qin people, our Qin State has neglected them in recent years."
"They have paid too much for Qin, but received too little. If this continues, there will be big problems."
"Benefits must be provided to make the people of Old Qin feel that their efforts are worth it. In this way, they will always be the strongest foundation of Great Qin!"
History proves that the old Qin people abandoned the Qin State.
The people of the New Qin Dynasty were also impoverished and exhausted physically and mentally due to the continuous big moves of the Qin Dynasty. After Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others entered Hanzhong, they ate pots of pulp to welcome the king!
This is voting with your feet and looking forward to new life.
The so-called Old Qin people refer to the descendants of the Qin people who lived in the horse-raising period with relatively pure blood.
The reason why it is called Lao Qin is because the Qin State is pro-military and its territory is expanding. Lao Qin was originally a self-proclaimed name for the people in the original land of Qin State, and it was a very proud title.
This method of address also makes the coverage of Lao Qin people wider and wider.
In contrast, the people of Xin Qin were probably people who had occupied the land for less than fifty years. In this era, fifty years is one generation.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he recalled the relevant classics he had read in his mind, and found that the Qin State had really not given benefits to the old Qin people for a long time, but had been asking for them for a long time.
"Actually, it's not just the people of the old Qin Dynasty, but also the people of the new Qin Dynasty who need to be win over."
"There are so many people in the Six Kingdoms. After Qin unifies the world in the future, both the old Qin people and the new Qin people will be the foundation for Qin to rule the world."
"My foundation is not stable, and if there is any disturbance, something will happen."
After Ying Zheng thought carefully, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang's words make sense."
"Of the original academy students, the majority were military students and people from the old Qin Dynasty, while people from the new Qin Dynasty accounted for the smaller part."
"When I take charge, I will also treat the new and old Qin people well."
Cheng Qiao suddenly wanted to say, "Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day." He held the words in his mouth again. Originally, he, the prince, had great ambitions and wished that one generation could do everything for the next generation.
?
He originally wanted to persuade Ying Zheng to slow down his pace in the future, but he said this, so he was not slapping himself in the face. He only needed to be half a step ahead. If he took too big a step, he would easily lose his temper!
"Brother Wang is good at listening to advice and accepting advice, and he has the demeanor of a heroic leader."
"Stop flattering and keep talking." Cheng Qiao nudged Cheng Qiao and scolded with a smile.
Cheng Qiao nodded and continued to explain his general idea. It was a quite huge plan. He wanted to spread the academy all over the Qin Kingdom and the world. It involved all aspects and involved too many things.
"Okay, once it's done, it will be the foundation of Qin for all eternity!"
After listening, Ying Zheng was so excited that he slapped his thigh and said with a smile on his face.
"I just have this general idea, but the actual implementation is very troublesome and cumbersome."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must do it!" Ying Zheng clenched his fists and said with determination on his face.
"Yes, we must do it."
"This requires a lot of talents. I just don't have the temperament to do practical things, nor do I have the ability. I will just be responsible for the general direction in the future."
"I think you want to be lazy, right?" Ying Zheng glanced sideways at Cheng Qiao and said angrily.
"Hey, it's just a very small part of the reason."
"By the way, when the academy is established in the future, you, Brother Wang, must personally serve as the grand liberator for the highest academy."
"There is no need to handle specific matters personally. Specific matters will be handled by the deputy of the Academy."
"But you must put your name on it. From now on, those students will be regarded as disciples of the Emperor. When the time comes, Brother Wang, you will also be considered to be famous all over the world."
Cheng Qiao suggested with a serious face.
"Hahaha……"
Although Ying Zheng is young and mature, he has not grown up yet, and he can't help but laugh out loud when he thinks of the beauty.
The sound spread so far that the maids and maids in the neighboring palace were awakened and couldn't help but look at each other. What are they talking about, and they are actually laughing in the spiritual palace?
Everyone was very curious, and their hearts were like cats clawing at each other.
After laughing for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to laugh in such a place. He quickly shut up and the hall fell into silence.
After a few breaths, Ying Zheng suddenly whispered: "If you want to be lazy, there is no way. You will be the right priest of the academy."
"Just take it as it is, don't you still have Zuo Jijiu? Just let him work as a coolie."
"There are so many evil ideas, that's all. He who works hard can govern others, it's up to you."
