At the end of the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin
The enthronement ceremony of Qin Wangzheng officially began.
Because of Lu Buwei's new policy, the new King of Qin did not have to wait for a year before ascending the throne. Instead, he completed his accession first and then continued to observe filial piety. The enthronement ceremony of Qin was no different from that of other countries in the Central Plains. After the death of the king,
After that, all the ministers wore white clothes, white robes, and no crowns to show their respect for the late king. At this time, the warriors would go to various places in the city gate to strengthen the security in various places.
The enthronement ceremony of this period was preceded by mourning and then by celebration. The funeral was held first to express condolences to the late king. Therefore, the ministers and warriors who participated in the enthroning ceremony had to take baths, have meals, make ice dishes, take a small meal, and hold a large meal.
After collecting etiquette and other etiquette, the prince, princes, lords, princes, officials, clan children, women, etc. held a crying ceremony. The so-called crying ceremony means crying loudly to express one's sadness.
Zhao Kuo was also in the crying team. What was embarrassing was that he was still at the front, second only to the prince, and next to him was Chenglong. Zhao Kuo heard the people behind him crying loudly,
The little guy next to him was also crying. Even Ying Zheng was wiping his tears constantly, but Zhao Kuo couldn't cry. Of course he was sad and sad when the stranger passed away, but he really
There was no way to cry like everyone else, so he could only lower his head to express his respect for the deceased.
After the crying ceremony, the crown prince's enthronement ceremony officially began. The prime minister stood up and read out the policy document. This policy document was very long and boring, making people drowsy after listening to it.
It was unclear, and people without any level of education might not be able to understand it. Zhao Kuo understood it, and the whole content of the policy was to praise the late king and talk about the late king's merits.
At this time, the officials still wanted to cry. The louder the cry, the better. Even Lu Buwei, who was reading out the policy, was reading intermittently. However, Lu Buwei seemed to be really crying. Because Zhao Kuo was sitting close,
So he clearly saw Lu Buwei's tears. Lu Buwei's tears kept falling. He didn't cry, but he just couldn't stop his tears. Maybe he thought of the young man in Handan City who made his eyes light up.
people.
Perhaps I remembered that promise again, that I will govern Qin with you.
Lu Buwei read very slowly and solemnly, and finished reading all the merits and virtues of King Zhuang Xiang. The policy text was written by Lu Buwei. After reading out the merits and virtues of the late king, Lu Buwei began to introduce the legal blood line of King Qin's succession to the throne.
Sex, in fact, in Zhao Kuo's opinion, this is just a matter of one sentence. Prince Zheng is the eldest son of King Zhuang Xiang. It is just such a sentence, but Lu Buwei said it in a very complicated way.
From Zhao Ji to King Qin's side, the time she was pregnant, the time she gave birth to Zhao Zheng, etc., the legitimacy of the blood relationship will be mentioned in the policy documents, and Zong Zheng will constantly compare to ensure the person who ascends the throne.
It is the blood of the royal family. From this point of view, the argument that King Qin's life experience is doubtful in later generations may not be tenable. After describing the legitimacy of the prince's bloodline, Cewen began to praise the prince's moral character and talents.
That's right, this is to describe the rationality of the prince's accession to the throne from the aspect of talent. One is legality and the other is rationality. After describing these two aspects, Cewen began to exhort the prince, that is, to persuade the prince.
After ascending the throne, he must learn from his ancestors, revitalize the country, and have moral character. After admonishing for a period of time, he finally finished reading the policy article.
Immediately, the prime minister began to invite the prince to succeed the throne, and the officials stood up and bowed again. An official came with the royal seal of King Qin and presented it to the prince. The prime minister invited the prince to succeed the throne, and appointed Zhao Ji as the queen mother. The memorial ended.
After that, the officials were about to leave, and Zhao Kuo also left with them. The officials left to change their clothes. They had to take off their mourning clothes and change into auspicious clothes, and then hold the ceremony again.
By this time, it is time for the enthronement ceremony to change from mournful to auspicious.
The next step is that the new king ascends the throne. The Crown Prince's Government officially becomes the King of Qin's Government. The ministers pay their respects, and then the King of Qin orders the pardon of some criminals. Of course, Han Fei is still very angry. Except for the Kingdom of Chu, all the kings of other countries who have ascended the throne have
Han Fei likes to pardon criminals, but Han Fei hates this very much. He feels that pardoning criminals is not a good way to show the king's kindness, but it shows the king's stupidity.
The enthronement ceremony ended quickly, and Ying Zheng officially became the King of Qin.
Of course, there were many problems immediately. The biggest problem was that Ying Zheng wanted to leave Zhao Kuo and Yi, and go to live in the palace. When Ying Zheng learned the news, he was very reluctant and refused at all.
Lu Buwei reluctantly left Zhao Kuo behind, hoping that Wu Chengjun could help him convince King Qin. King Qin was a little angry. He looked at the eunuch order next to him and said angrily: "Who said the king must live in the palace? I don't know.
If I have never personally governed, why should I go to the palace?!"
The eunuch stood beside him and said helplessly: "Your Majesty... As the king of Qin, how can you live in Lord Wu Cheng's mansion? This is against etiquette! You must live in the palace...
You want to learn how to handle government affairs in the palace..." Ying Zheng was still very angry, and he added: "Then I will build another courtyard in the palace and move my family in!"
"How can this be possible... This is absolutely not possible!" The eunuch Ling's eyes widened, and he was a little at a loss. At this moment, Lu Buwei came with Zhao Kuo. Lu Buwei saluted King Qin, and King Qin
But he saluted his father, and the scene suddenly seemed a little strange. Lu Buwei cleared his throat, looked at the eunuch order in front of him, and motioned for him to leave, then looked at Ying Zheng with a smile, and asked: "Who is the king?"
What are your orders?"
Zhao Zheng looked at his father, with some fear in his eyes. He didn't dare to yell like he just did. He said in a low voice: "I...I don't want to move out, I want to stay in my original place."
At home...I don’t have a pro-government, so what should I do if I live in the palace?" King Qin said, and looked at his father again. Zhao Kuo frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. In fact, the situation at home was similar.
Because after he ascended the throne, King Qin would move to the palace, and Zhao Kuo accidentally told them this. As a result, Yi started crying. She was reluctant to let her son go to the palace, but she was afraid that she would
She didn't dare to complain to Zhao Kuo because she was delaying her business, but she could only cry secretly. Naturally, Zhao's mother was also like this. After hearing this, she stopped talking to Zhao Kuo. She had a straight face and refused to look at him again.
One glance.
And the boy Zhao Kang has been crying, asking Zhao Kuo to find a way to keep his brother. Zhao Kuo doesn't know what to do. However, the child will grow up sooner or later, and he can't keep him by his side for the rest of his life.
, Lu Buwei looked at the two people in front of him, and then he said: "Your Majesty, you can't stay in Wu Chengjun's courtyard all the time. This is wrong. However, you can learn how to govern the country from Wu Chengjun, and live in the palace the rest of the time.
inside..."
Lu Buwei came up with a compromise. Zhao Kuo thought for a moment and then agreed. His father and the prime minister both agreed, so the King of Qin naturally did not refuse.
Lu Buwei left soon. After the enthronement ceremony was completed, the country began to operate normally again, and Lu Buwei had to deal with a lot of things. Zhao Zheng had a lot to say to Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo
But he asked him to study with Lu Buwei, and then went home. Qin Wangzheng reluctantly followed the prime minister. Lu Buwei first responded to the memorials from various places. He read very quickly. Some areas needed relief, and some areas needed relief.
Officials need ordnance in some places.
Lu Buwei dealt with these things quickly, while Zhao Zheng sat aside and did not disturb him, focusing on watching him deal with it.
At the same time, Lu Buwei was still busy with digging channels... It turned out that Zheng Guo followed Zhao Kuo to Qin State, and then he prepared to start digging canals in the internal areas of Qin State, and his proposal was also approved by Zhao Xiang
The king agreed. From then on, Qin State has been digging canals in the North and other areas. Because of the previous war, Qin State recruited a lot of soldiers, causing the project to be interrupted. This made Zheng Guo very angry.
This petition requested further excavation.
Now, Lu Buwei naturally wants to continue his project. The amount of internal construction projects in the Qin State is not too low now. In addition to the canals, there are also the Qin King’s mausoleum projects, as well as infrastructure in various places, and even the Qin State’s construction projects in the north.
To expand, the Qin State carried out effective expansion on the northern grasslands by continuously establishing cities and adding post stations. These all consume manpower and material resources, so Lu Buwei really had a lot to deal with.
Fortunately, the Qin State has enough manpower, that is, criminals. Most of the criminals in the Qin State are sent to carry out these projects, and the local people of the Qin State are also assigned to take charge of these projects every year.
In addition to these projects, there is also the most important thing, which is the reform of the internal system of the Qin State. As early as when King Zhuang Xiang just ascended the throne, Lu Buwei had already started to reform the system. Of course, the most important thing to change was the military merit system.
After Meng Ao was defeated by Lord Xinling, many people began to question whether Lu Buwei's changes were good or bad. Fortunately, Zhao Kuo successfully defeated the enemy again, proving that there was no problem with the system.
Now that Lu Buwei has great power, he naturally wants to change the Qin State according to his own ideas. In the Qin State, the only one who can influence his decision-making is Zhao Kuo, but now Zhao Kuo is on his side.
Zhao Kuo supported his reform, which was the best news for Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei tried his best to shift the focus of the military system from war to production.
After two full years, Lu Buwei's policy can finally continue to advance. The military merit system has been developed in the Qin State for many years. It is not easy for Lu Buwei to change it. This requires a step-by-step approach.
In the process, Lu Buwei originally set a twenty-year strategy for himself, changing the military merit system over twenty years, and slowly focusing the Qin State's title on production.
However, the sudden death of King Qin made Lu Buwei a little anxious. King Qin Zhuangxiang was much younger than him. He was very afraid that he would not have twenty years, so he needed to speed up his pace. Today, Qin State,
In fact, since he was in charge, Lu Buwei no longer cared about anything else and began to speed up the completion of his strategy. At the same time, Wang Jian destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Buwei was nominally the head coach, but the matters of fighting were left to Wang Jian.
After Wang Jian successfully destroyed the Duke of Zhou, Lu Buwei did not destroy his sacrifices. Instead, he moved them outside Xianyang and allowed them to perform sacrifices to worship their ancestors. Lu Buwei is very busy every day.
At this time, there were often reports in the palace that the Queen Mother was hosting banquets or even going out in disguise. These news gave Lu Buwei a great headache.
If he wanted to get rid of Zhao Ji, it would not be difficult. What was difficult was how he should face King Qin.
After all, she was the biological mother of King Qin. So, Lu Buwei found the best way to contain Zhao Ji. Lu Buwei went to visit a woman, Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang was the wife of King Xiaowen and was also the wife of Zhuang Xiang.
The king respected her as the queen mother. She is still in the palace. When Lu Buwei went to visit her, the old lady was very happy because Ying Zheng was not close to her, and no one came to visit her after the death of Wei Ren.
.
Lu Buwei deliberately got close to Mrs. Huayang and intended to make Mrs. Huayang the master of the palace.
Mrs. Huayang had the upper hand over Zhao Ji in terms of status and qualifications. After receiving Lu Buwei's support and instruction, Mrs. Huayang kept an eye on Zhao Ji. When Zhao Ji was about to go out again, Mrs. Huayang
Suddenly, Zhao Ji came and reprimanded her severely, asking her to go back and think about her mistakes. Such a blow was very effective. Zhao Ji finally realized that she did not have absolute power in the palace.
And Ying Zheng rarely stayed in the palace. Even when he was in the palace, he was indifferent to his mother's cries.
Lu Buwei actually had another person who could help him, and that was Cheng Xi's mother, but Lu Buwei did not go to her because he was worried that this would cause dissatisfaction with the King of Qin. Under such circumstances, the Qin State gradually
After restoring internal stability, the granary in Huashan was destroyed, which still put a lot of pressure on the Qin State. Fortunately, the officials of the Qin State, under the leadership of Lu Buwei, successfully restored all this.
At this moment, the internal conflicts among the coalition forces also broke out. King Wei once again sent soldiers to attack Chu State, and Yan State, after successfully allying with Qi State, also asked Zhao State to return the land that had been taken away by him before.
.At this time, an envoy from Qin State arrived at Wei State.
The envoy came to see the King of Wei, but when the King of Wei received the envoy.
The messenger asked in surprise: "What? Has Lord Xinling not ascended the throne yet?"
