Chapter 173 The Heart of Auntie, the Death of Huang Xie!
Leaving the palace, Lao Ai was covered in sweat.
The intention of the King of Qin is very obvious. The King of Qin allows the Queen Mother Zhao to have a lover, but does not allow the lover to have too much power or even endanger the interests of the Qin State. If it is for Yi Qujun, he can only die; if it is for Wei Chouhu, he can live a rich life.
.
But he was a little unwilling to give up his official position and become Wei Chou's husband.
"The King of Qin is in charge, so he cannot tolerate me, Lao Ai!" Lao Ai said in her heart.
Soon, we arrived at Lu Buwei’s home.
"Prime Minister, the King of Qin has reached the age of personal administration. As the saying goes, one dynasty is the emperor and one courtier. The Prime Minister of the Qin State has never had a happy ending. Shang Yang's reform was successful, but King Huiwen of Qin ascended the throne, and was divided by chariots, and the three tribes were annihilated; King Wu of Qin ascended the throne, Zhang Yi
He was forced to flee; Wei Ran made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, but he was dismissed from office; Fan Ju made great contributions, but he was dismissed from office and returned to his fiefdom!"
Lao Ai said: "King Qin, if you want to attack us, please make plans in advance!"
Lu Buwei was silent, and after a long time he said: "In the past, I was just a humble businessman, bowing my head everywhere, but later I assisted the King of Qin and reached my current status. The Prime Minister of the Qin State has a higher status than the kings of the Six Kingdoms. Wherever my order comes, the Six Kingdoms will
The king of the country is se se!"
"The one who is afraid is not me, but the Prime Minister of Qin!"
"I have been the Prime Minister of Qin for twenty years, and I am already satisfied! Even if I die tomorrow, it will be enough! If the King of Qin wants to take action against us, I will resign and go back to my fiefdom!"
The Qin State mobilized fifty soldiers just to get the Tiger Talisman. It was very difficult to rebel in the Qin State, and there was almost no possibility of victory.
If the King of Qin took action, he would have no choice but to accept his fate. The worst result would be to kill himself. Bai Qi committed suicide, but the Bai family was saved. The King of Qin took pity on Bai Qi's achievements and would take care of the Bai family. But if he rebelled, he would kill the Nine Clan.
He can still clearly understand the gains and losses.
"Before Fan Ju entered Qin, all the power of the Qin State was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Four Nobles. If the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Four Nobles had acted first and killed King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and established a child as the King of Qin, they would have been able to continue to control the State of Qin. However,
Empress Dowager Xuan and the four nobles hesitated, and as a result, Empress Dowager Xuan returned to the harem and was not allowed to participate in politics. The four nobles were expelled back to their fiefdoms and were not allowed to enter Xianyang..."
Lao Ai said: "If we strike first to gain strength, kill Ying Zheng and raise a young boy to be the king, we can control the Qin State, and there will be no Tian family to replace Qi!"
Lu Buwei sneered and said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, regicide was acceptable, but now it is not; in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Tian family replaced Qi, but now it is not allowed. You... just do it yourself!"
Times have changed. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was easy to kill a king and destroy a country. The system was loose. Three families were divided into Jin and the Tian family succeeded Qi. But now, many ways to kill kings and various methods of rebellion have been blocked.
No one successfully rebelled.
It seemed at first that the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Four Nobles had great power, and they had ousted King Zhaoxiang of Qin. They regained power with the help of Fan Ju. But in fact, this was not the case. All these powers came from the King of Qin. The King of Qin could give power to him with a word, and could remove him from power with a word.
.
Empress Dowager Xuan and the Four Nobles have the most noble status and great power because of the support of King Qin. Once they lose the support of King Qin, they are nothing. They seem to be prominent, but if they rebel, no one will follow them, and their loyal younger brothers will turn against them instantly.
Come to attack and kill them to gain merit.
If Lao Ai can retire peacefully and for the sake of Empress Zhao, she will not lose her wealth and honor, so she can be the ugly husband of Wei; but if she is forced to commit suicide, then there is nothing else to blame.
…………
Lao Ai left, somewhat unwillingly, but also helpless.
The King of Qin was in charge and wanted to take action against Lu Buwei, possibly dismissing him from office. Lu Buwei also noticed something strange. Marrying the princess of Chu and using his relatives from the Chu family was the prelude.
Lu Buwei understood all this, but he had no intention of resisting and would give in to the end.
But Lao Ai was unwilling to accept it.
With the help of Empress Dowager Zhao, it is not difficult to be an ugly husband of Wei, but I am unwilling to do so.
At this time, a retainer came forward and said: "A big event happened in Chu State. Xiong Han ascended the throne and became king. Li Yuan killed Chunshen Lord Huang Xie and monopolized the government. He joined forces with Queen Mother Li Yanyan to take control of Chu State!"
Lao Ai said: "Chunshen Jun Huang Xie was also a genius of his generation, but he died in the hands of a villain like Li Yuan. How ridiculous!"
Among the four great princes of the Warring States Period, the other three were all born into the royal family. Only Huang Xie was born in an ordinary way, but he had outstanding talents. Under the leadership of Huang Xie, the Chu army went north to rescue the Zhao State, and they jointly attacked the Qin State. It can be said that Qin
The country's great enemy.
But now he is dead!
Thinking about Chun Shenjun's death, and thinking about Li Yuan, Lao Ai's ambition was growing: Li Yuan did it, why can't I do it.
Lu Buwei is similar to Huang Xie, and Lao Ai is similar to Li Yuan. Li Yuan killed Huang Xie and joined forces with the Queen Mother Li Yanyan to control the Chu State; if he killed Lu Buwei and joined forces with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, he might not be able to control the Qin State
…………
"Huang Xie is dead!"
After learning the news of Huang Xie's death, Liu Xiu sighed with complicated thoughts.
Among the six kingdoms in the world, the only great enemies that can prevent the unification of Qin are Zhao and Chu.
The Chu State is more terrifying than the Zhao State.
Because of the incomplete reforms of the Chu State, its mobilization ability was not as good as that of the Qin State, and its overall warfare was not as good as that of the Qin State. However, the people of Chu were strong, and those who had the right will obey, and those who had no right would rebel first. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the main force was the Chu people when they rebelled against Qin. Chen defeated Wu Guang and was the leader of Chu.
Chinese people, Liu Bang is from the Chu State, Xiao He is from the Chu State, and Han Xin is from the Chu State.
The so-called Chu-Han struggle for hegemony was actually a group of Chu people fighting.
When Wang Jian destroyed Zhao, he used 300,000 troops; but when Wang Jian destroyed Chu, he used 600,000 soldiers.
Chu State is very difficult to defeat!
At this moment, he married the Chu princess as his queen, and also wooed the Chu relatives. Is this not for the sake of reconciliation and paralyzing the Chu country? He would even make the son of the Chu princess a prince to ease the resistance of the Chu people.
But now, King Kaolie of Chu is dead, and Huang Xie is also dead, which is a good thing for Qin.
Both of them are resolute anti-Qin faction, and Li Yuan must be a pro-Qin faction. When Qin destroys Zhao, Chu will not send troops to rescue, and Qin can safely destroy the five countries.
"It's a pity that Huang Xie, a great man of his generation, died in the hands of such a mouse!"
Liu Xiu sighed.
"If I were to dominate the world, I would definitely build a temple to worship Huang Xie!"
Qianlong praised Yuan Chonghuan in order to rectify people's hearts; and he sacrificed Huang Xie in order to rectify people's hearts.
"Lao Ai, I hope you will be wiser... don't do stupid things!" Liu Xiu said, "It is not easy to become a prince, it must be rare!"
Is it difficult to become a marquis in Qin? It’s very difficult!
Starting from Qin Xiaogong, "Historical Records" clearly records that there are only a handful of people who have been granted the title of prince, only seven of them: Shang Yang, Wei Ran, Fan Sui, Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, Wang Jian, and Wang Ben.
Lord Wu An, Bai Qi, is so awesome, but he is only Lord Wu An, not Marquis Wu An.
Lao Ai was granted the title of Marquis because of his military merits, but Empress Dowager Zhao also opened the back door, so he acquiesced.
