"No, your father will come to pick us up!" Zhao Ji said with tears in her eyes.
Liu Xiuben wanted to continue his venomous remarks, but seeing how sad Zhao Ji was, he might as well forget it!
The more I understand this era, the more I understand the importance of bloodline.
After the Qin State, there were no aristocrats; before the Qin State, there were no aristocrats.
What is nobility?
Nobility is heritage and bloodline.
Many nobles can trace their bloodlines back hundreds of years, to the Yin, Shang, and Western Zhou dynasties.
The King of Qin could proudly say that they were the descendants of evil and the horsemen of the King of Zhou. Starting from scholar-bureaucrats, their titles were continuously upgraded to the present kings. The family has a history of 800 years.
The king of Chu can also proudly say that their ancestors were only viscounts in a small feudal country fifty miles away under Jingshan Mountain. They were able to defeat Zhou, and their titles continued to rise. Now that they have kings and titles, the family has a history of at least more than a thousand years.
.
Every noble can tell the history of the family's prosperity, the origin of the family, and the pride of the family. This is what makes a noble.
The essence of nobility is bloodline.
Three of the four great princes of the Warring States Period were of royal blood.
As Chen Sheng said, princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind!
It was at the end of the Qin Dynasty that all the nobles in the world were wiped out by Qin Shihuang. There were no nobles in China, so Chen Sheng could make such nonsense. But in fact, Chen Sheng was not a poor man, but also a descendant of Chen Guogong.
Zhao Ji was born on the side of Zhao Guogong's family, but she has been out of the fifth server for a long time and is no longer as noble as Zi Chu.
At this moment, Zi Chu is marrying a Korean princess, but in order to curry favor with the Queen Mother of Huayang, he must also marry a daughter of Chu State to maintain the relationship between Chu State and Qin State... From this point of view, they are a bit mysterious.
At this sad moment, good news came.
"Congratulations, sister, the young master is a stranger... No, the young master Chu is already in Qin. He has established a firm foothold and sent people to greet you mother and son!" At this time, a handsome man walked in and said respectfully: "Sister, you can finally guard Yun Kai.
!”
"Really..." Zhao Ji, who was originally in tears, was stunned.
Soon after, Zhao Ji and Liu Xiu boarded the carriage and headed for Qin.
Before leaving, the families who had not dealt with her mother's family in the past, as well as King Zhao, etc., sent gifts one after another, and seemed to be more happy than Zhao Ji.
Marriage is a barometer of relationship. Being close to that country means marrying with that country.
Now that Zi Chu has taken Zhao Ji back, it is a trend of easing the relationship between Qin and Zhao, and Zhao can finally breathe.
The carriage rattled, and we took a boat halfway. We set off in March and arrived in Xianyang in May, where we met Zi Chu again, who is also my father in this life.
"Zheng'er, call me father!"
Zi Chu stepped forward, hugged his son, and said close to him.
Liu Xiu was silent and couldn't scream.
But Zichu was still close to Zhao Ji and was very kind to him.
The wife of chaff must not be abandoned.
Returning to Qin State, Zichu has been married for five years. He has already married the princess of Zhao State, as well as women from Qi State, Wei State, Yan State, Chu State and other countries. There are more than a dozen of them in succession. Although they are not princesses, they are still
A close branch of the royal family. Compared with them, Zhao Ji's identity does not have an advantage.
Those women gave birth to children one after another.
At this moment, Zichu had eight daughters and seven sons, and Ying Zheng was just one of them.
The only good thing is that the oldest one is only three years old; the others are still babies and are still nursing.
Eight-year-old Ying Zheng has an age advantage.
Soon after, Liu Xiu met King Zhaoxiang of Qin, a seasoned and mature emperor who was over seventy years old. He had been King of Qin for more than fifty years. He had tortured the prince to death, and now the prince still showed signs of being tortured to death.
Looking at the King of Qin, I thought of Kangxi in history and what the prince said, how could there be a prince who had been a prince for forty years!
Youth and long life are the biggest advantages.
This King of Qin had his mother, Queen Mother Xuan, to death, Wei Ran to death, and Prime Minister Fan Ju to death, and he is still alive now.
"I want to live a long life, survive the death of my great-grandfather King Qin Zhaoxiang, survive the death of my grandfather An Guojun, survive the death of my father and son Chu, and survive these three before I can become the King of Qin!" Liu Xiu thought, and then became speechless. According to this model, he at least
You can only become the King of Qin when you are in your fifties. There are too many people in front of you.
However, good luck soon arrived.
Two years later, the long-lived King Qin Zhaoxiang passed away.
Grandfather An Guojun finally became the King of Qin at the age of fifty-two.
There was no time to rejoice, no time to celebrate, he had only been King of Qin for three days and he died.
Then, his father, Zi Chu, became the king of Qin; Liu Xiu, who was only ten years old, became the prince.
Three years later, Zichu also died.
Thirteen-year-old Liu Xiu ascended the throne and became King of Qin.
"I became the King of Qin at the age of thirteen, which is a bit early..." Liu Xiu was speechless. He didn't know if this was good luck or bad luck. It can be said to be good luck, because he became the emperor at the age of thirteen, which was earlier than he expected.
for thirty years.
But from another perspective, it was bad luck that a thirteen-year-old child became the emperor.
He is young and has no majesty, and his throne is unstable.
Fortunately, before his death, Qin King Ying Chu left him a stable team, including the Chu family relatives represented by the Queen Mother Huayang, Zhao Ji, the Zhao family relatives represented by Lu Buwei, and the generals of the Qin State, etc. The three factions restricted each other.
restrain each other.
In balance, sit firmly on the throne.
Next, he would wear Chu clothes and speak Chu language, go to the Queen Mother of Huayang, act cute and innocent, and gain the approval of the Queen Mother of Huayang; and in front of Zhao Ji, he would play the role of a filial son and a good boy.
Baby.
Only with the support of these two relatives can he secure the throne.
At the same time, there were generals from Qin's clan to suppress these two factions.
In the separation of powers, secure the throne.
Waiting to grow up, when he is twenty-one years old, he will be crowned and then take charge of his own affairs.
…………
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Xiu turned eighteen!
In these years, Lu Buwei came to power and still adopted the policy of establishing close ties and attacking far away. In five years, he attacked Wei four times, South Korea three times, and Zhao once. North of the Yellow River, all Shangdang County in Han was occupied, and Taiyuan County was rebuilt (from the Yellow River in the west to Shanxi Fan in the north).
It borders Yan and Zhao in the east and Shangdang County in the south), cutting off the communication between Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han, and strategically creating a situation of flanking encirclement of Zhao, Wei and Han.
During the crisis of the Six Nations, the alliance took shape.
Zhao, Han, Wei, Chu, and Yan formed a coalition and jointly elected Zhao General Pang Nuan as their commander to attack Qin.
Pang Nuan said: "The army attacking Qin has repeatedly attacked westward, but was blocked at Hangu Pass. It is better to detour to Puban, cross the river south, and then reach Hangu Pass to take Xianyang by surprise!"
Sure enough, unexpectedly, the Five Nations Allied Forces branched out of Puban and made smooth progress, marching to the end of the country less than 70 miles away from Xianyang.
Xianyang was shocked, and Liu Xiu was also shocked.
"When King Wu conquered Zhou, he attacked Muye with a blitzkrieg, which was less than eighty miles away from Chaoge. He defeated King Zhou and destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties. During the Song Dynasty, he also conducted a blitzkrieg to Youyun, defeated the elite of the Jin army, conquered Zhongdu, and opened up the Jin Dynasty.
The prelude to the destruction of the country! But now, others are playing blitzkrieg with me!"
Liu Xiu was shocked and stunned.
In the past, he tried blitzkrieg and attacked the enemy; but now, the enemy blitzkrieg attacked him.
Unhappy retribution!
However, he is Ying Zheng, not King Zhou, nor the emperor of Jin Kingdom.
The main force of the Shang Dynasty marched eastward, and Chaoge was empty, and it was only a second-line force; the main force of the Jin Kingdom was on the front line, and the central capital was empty, and it was only a second-line force. The Shang Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, etc. were all internally unstable. But Xianyang was different, Xianyang had elites from the Qin State
.
"This time, there is no way we can swallow up the armies of the five countries!"
