Chapter 17 If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight
When King Qin Yiren's body was dying, the bedroom of King Qin's palace was filled with sadness. Both Zhao Ji and Concubine Han cried in pain, because they knew that their next fate would not be good.
Listening to the cries of his two wives beside him, King Qin Yiren's face suddenly became rosy, and he became a little more energetic. Then he looked at his closest wife and son, and finally his eyes rested on Ying, who had a tough look on his face.
Political face.
"Okay! Stop crying! Let me be quiet!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After hearing King Qin Yiren's instructions, Zhao Ji and Concubine Han stopped crying, then obediently stood up and left King Qin Yiren's palace.
Looking at Ying Zheng again, King Qin Yiren said, "You all should go out! The prince stays!"
When they arrived in the palace, only Ying Zheng and King Qin Yi Ren, his father and son, were left. Ying Zheng knew that Yi Ren had something to tell him, so he knelt beside Yi Ren's bed and said, "Father, what do you have to say?"
Instead of answering Ying Zheng's question, Yi Ren stretched out his trembling and weak hands and stroked Ying Zheng's face with difficulty. Ying Zheng quickly used his own hands to help Yi Ren's hand stick to his face.
"Zheng'er, do you think I love your brother Chengjiao more?"
"Father..." Ying Zheng didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Maybe Yiren didn't need Ying Zheng to answer this question, so he still said to himself, "Zheng'er, since you were born, I have been back to Xianyang, and then left you mother and son in Handan, the den of tigers and wolves!
After Wu'an Jun Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao surrender troops, your mother and son's life in Handan became even more difficult!"
"Today we, father and son, tell the truth, I had given up hope on you, mother and son.
I think you will definitely be killed by Zhao Guo.
Then I thought of using this as an excuse to attack Zhao."
When Yiren said this, he stopped and looked at Ying Zheng's face. He found that Ying Zheng was not shocked, and Yiren showed a happy smile.
"Zheng'er, do you hate me, my father?"
"I don't hate it! If it were me, I would do the same!"
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, King Qin Yiren became even more satisfied with Ying Zheng, "Haha, good! Very good!
He is truly worthy of being my winning son!"
"Zheng'er, I heard your grandmother say that your ideal is to unify the world?"
"Yes! Father!
Ying Zheng must truly destroy the six kingdoms and then unify the world!"
"Okay! I believe you!
If I hadn't been in such poor health, I would have fulfilled the last wish of this ancestor of the Qin Dynasty!
So Zheng'er, now this ancestor's last wish depends on you!"
"Father, Ying Zheng will definitely not let you down!"
"Well! Father believes in you!
Zheng'er, come closer to me, I want to tell you a big secret."
"Father, tell me!" Ying Zheng approached the stranger in surprise.
"Zheng'er, when we were debating the choice of crown prince some time ago, didn't there suddenly be rumors that you were Lu Buwei's son?"
"ah?"
"Actually, that news was spread by someone else!"
"What?"
Ying Zheng's first feeling was that King Qin Yiren was crazy. In order to prevent himself from becoming the prince, he even did this kind of operation.
"The reason why I do this is because I know that my body is not good enough and Lu Buwei is too ambitious.
If you ascend the throne, you will definitely be ignored by Lu Buwei!"
"In order to prevent Lu Buwei from being filled with desires, and then taking action to take your life.
I had no choice but to take this step."
"It is to make Lu Buwei think that he is your biological father, so that he will do his best to help you!"
"But... this is just a matter of killing a hundred enemies and damaging yourself by eight thousand!
It’s not worth it!” Ying Zheng was still a little hard to understand.
"Haha, Zheng'er, you are still too young!
A real man doesn’t stick to trivial matters, let alone us, the real rulers.”
"We have always known about Lu Buwei's ambition.
Of course, I also understand his mentality of "finding something rare to live in"."
"When he gave your mother Zhao Ji to the widow, the widow guessed that your mother Zhao Ji was pregnant."
"What?"
"Haha, Zheng'er, don't be impatient.
Let me continue talking first!"
"At that time, I force-fed your mother Zhao Ji with abortion pills, and then pretended to have sex every night for Lu Buwei to watch.
This made Lu Buwei mistakenly think that his plan was successful!"
"Then I pretended to dote on Zhao Ji and kept buying supplements for your mother Zhao Ji to please her.
In fact, the real situation is for your mother to get well as soon as possible."
"When your mother Zhao Ji becomes pregnant again, she will have you.
When you were more than a month away from giving birth, I deliberately asked your mother Zhao Ji to do some strenuous movements just to make you born early.
This way Lu Buwei will no longer doubt your identity, and then he can risk his life to help our father and son."
Hearing such an explosive secret, Ying Zheng was really dumbfounded. Although the medical conditions in the Warring States Period were rudimentary, unlike in later generations where caesarean sections were used to control the birth date of the child, there were still ways to achieve this effect.
"But...but, Lu Buwei was just a businessman back then.
Why does your father need such a painstaking design?" Ying Zheng still questioned incomprehensibly.
"Silly boy, I was also an abandoned son of Qin State back then!
The biological mother was just an ordinary mother and son with a low status, and she had no supporters at all in the Qin State.
Otherwise, I would not have shamelessly recognized Mrs. Huayang as my mother, and then changed my name to Zi Chu.
In Handan, which was struggling at that time, the sudden appearance of Lu Buwei was the life-saving straw for everyone!
Lu Buwei's next behavior just proved that my judgment was correct.
He did not disappoint us, father and son, and successfully returned to Qin and became the King of Qin.
It's best to successfully rescue your mother and son from Handan, Zhao State."
Looking at Ying Zheng who was still confused, Qin Wang Yiren suddenly said seriously, "Remember, my son!
To be a great king, one must be a loner.
Just to remind myself all the time not to be emotional!"
"This means that if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!"
After hearing the wise words passed down to later generations, Ying Zheng woke up from the shock, and then looked at King Qin Yiren with a serious face, "Father, Ying Zheng is here to promise you.
When you take complete control of the Qin Empire, Lu Buwei will be buried with you!"
"Zheng'er, are you serious about this?" King Qin Yiren became excited and quickly grabbed Ying Zheng's hands.
As a man, of course he can understand Yiren's hatred for Lu Buwei, not to mention that he is the king of Qin. Then Ying Zheng nodded seriously again.
"Okay! Very good! My father is under the Nine Springs, waiting for the news of your unification of the world and Lu Buwei's body!"
"No! Father! Ying Zheng is preparing to sacrifice Lu Buwei alive!"
"Ah? Zheng'er, do you also hate this Lu Buwei?" Upon hearing Ying Zheng's plan, King Qin Yiren showed a shocked expression.
"Father, Lu Buwei has tarnished the dignity of the Qin royal family and has thoughts that he shouldn't have. Sacrificing Lu Buwei alive is the best punishment for him!"
"Okay! Zheng'er, you can be so clear-headed and guard against Lu Buwei.
I can rest assured now!"
Looking at Qin King Yiren passing away with a smile, Ying Zheng said in a cold and stern voice, "King Zhuangxiang of the Great Qin wins against Yiren, and have a good trip!
