Chapter four hundred and eighty fourth one emperor through the ages
"What you need to do now is to please your grandmother, Queen Mother Xia, and show more filial piety to your father, and then make friends with Marquis Lu Buwei of Wenxin." Chu Fei said.
Ying Zheng frowned. It was okay with his father, but Empress Dowager Xia and Lu Buwei were not easy to win over.
He grew up in the State of Zhao, and did not return to the State of Qin with his mother until he was eight years old. Therefore, he had no relationship with his grandmother. As for Lu Buwei, he was the hero who single-handedly assisted his father to become the King of Qin, and he would not take him seriously as a child.
inside.
Chu Fei smiled and said, "The Queen Mother Xia is your father's biological mother, but your father has to recognize Huayang as his aunt because of his position as King of Qin. There is naturally a gap in the Queen Mother Xia's heart, and she must not be able to deal with Huayang. You
You only need to explain the powerful relationship to her. If Huayang's niece is made the queen, then Huayang will not take her seriously, and she will lose her glory sooner or later. And Lu Buwei and your mother have an old relationship, as long as your mother persuades her
Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei will definitely help you occupy your position in the court and assist you.
Although your father is in his prime, it is not a bad thing to make plans early. Lu Buwei started as a businessman, and he understands this truth better. If you want to be rich for a long time, you should take a longer-term view, and your first step is to get this
With the support of two people, you will become the crown prince and confirm your status as the next generation of King Qin."
Subsequently, Ying Zheng followed the method given to him by Chu Fei and quickly persuaded the Queen Mother Xia and Lu Buwei. With their support, Ying Zheng finally became the crown prince of Qin.
Although the Queen Mother of Huayang wanted to support Cheng Yu to become the crown prince, the only power she had in the court was her younger brother Yangquan Jun. In addition, Zichu was now the King of Qin and was no longer restricted by Huayang, so he naturally wanted to establish the throne.
His eldest son became the crown prince.
Huayang plans to go bankrupt and is very angry, but now there is nothing that can be done.
Because he relied on Zichu, his adopted son, and even Zichu no longer wanted to listen to her, so she had no right to speak.
Three years later, Zi Chu died of illness, and 13-year-old Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne of Qin. The political power of the Qin Dynasty fell under the control of Prime Minister Lu Buwei.
Naturally, Ying Zheng did not want to be the king of Qin in name only, but now most of the people in the court were Lu Buwei's people. It would be very difficult to overthrow Lu Buwei!
Therefore, Ying Zheng could only ask his teacher Chu Fei to help him make suggestions.
After the last incident, Ying Zheng obeyed Chu Fei's words and came to Chu Fei whenever he encountered trouble, so he simply treated him as a teacher.
Facing Ying Zheng's question, Chu Fei just smiled softly and said, "Why bother about this? You are the king and he is the minister. Even if he is in power now, it is only a temporary matter. You only need to wait until you take charge."
Take back the power immediately, and without you taking action, there will naturally be people who oppose him. The so-called embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest. If you allow him to indulge in extravagance and indulgence, when the time comes, he will surely become corrupt, and then he will perish."
So Ying Zheng waited for ten years. Under the advice of the ministers of the court, Ying Zheng dismissed Lu Buwei from his post and exiled him to Bashu.
But in the past ten years, Lu Buwei had eradicated dissidents, and many people hated him. Naturally, it was impossible to let him go like this, so he once again advised the King of Qin. Only then did Ying Zheng have to stab Lu Buwei to death. From then on, Ying Zheng finally gained power.
With it in hand, he began his great cause of conquering the emperor through the ages.
Later, with the help of his teacher Chu Fei, Ying Zheng successively destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi, ending more than five hundred years of division and reunifying China.
After unifying the six kingdoms, Ying Zheng no longer called himself king, but used the word "emperor" that Chu Fei had told him more than ten years ago. He was the first emperor of China, the first emperor, and subsequently
Two, three, and thousands of lives.
After more than 500 years of division, China was divided into many countries, and different languages and characters were formed. Even the currency measurements were different. Therefore, the first thing Ying Zheng did after unifying the six countries was to combine all the characters.
, language, and measures were all unified. In order to strengthen the connection across the country, Chidao was built extending in all directions, so that the entire country was under the control of Ying Zheng.
Of course, these were all suggestions given to him by Chu Fei. Ying Zheng felt that his teacher was a wise man from heaven, sent by heaven to help him complete his great cause of eternity.
Naturally, the Six Kingdoms were not willing to let their country be destroyed like this, but as long as Qin Shihuang was alive, these people would not dare to rebel even if they wanted to restore the country.
In this way, the unified Qin Dynasty flourished under the governance of Qin Shihuang and became the most powerful country in the world at that time.
At this time, Ying Zheng was in high spirits, because he had accomplished something that had never been done before, and was destined to be famous throughout the ages and become the greatest emperor in history.
Originally, everything was going to develop in a good direction. After Qin Shihuang, the pioneering king, the Great Qin Empire could last for hundreds of years as long as it cultivated the people and implemented benevolent government. Unfortunately, everything seemed to have been determined.
As the saying goes, people's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. Greed often grows unknowingly. As one's position rises, people's desires become greater.
The lifespan of ancient people was generally short, and the forty-nine-year-old Ying Zheng ushered in his twilight years. As he suffered from illness and lost energy and blood, Ying Zheng knew that his end had come.
But for some reason, his teacher is still as young as he was when he was a teenager. More than thirty years have passed and there is no sign of aging at all, while he looks more like an old man.
"Teacher, I have something that I don't understand. Why, after so many years, have you remained as youthful as ever, while I have aged beyond recognition?" On this day, Ying Zheng asked his teacher truthfully.
Chu Fei smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Ying Zheng would ask him this question sooner or later, so he said: "That's because I am a practitioner."
"Practitioner?" Ying Zheng was slightly startled and didn't understand.
"Teacher, what is a practitioner?"
"The so-called practitioners are people who have reached a higher state than the current stage through a method and a long period of practice." Chu Fei explained.
"Will this allow me to stay as young as you, teacher?" Ying Zheng asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
"Teacher, can you teach me how to practice?" Ying Zheng said.
"Cultivation requires a state of mind without desires, which is no longer suitable for you. Moreover, you have lost your vitality and blood and are about to die, so even practice has no effect. Your mission is to complete the great cause of unification through the ages, and the Great Qin Dynasty also died because of your death.
It will last forever." By saying this, Chu Fei was telling Ying Zheng that he would not teach him the method of cultivation, and that under his protection, Da Qin would be passed down through the ages.
However, at this time, Ying Zheng could no longer understand Chu Fei's thoughts. He just felt that since you have a way to restore my youth, why don't you teach it to me? I want to rule my empire forever.
Therefore, it is really difficult for a person to be wise and powerful throughout his life, because as he gets older, people's thinking will become extremely slow, and power will erode people's body and mind, and their ideas will no longer be as pure as before.
That's human nature.
For the first time, Ying Zheng felt resentful towards his teacher.
