Great sorrow, great joy and great sorrow, this is probably the state of the Qin people in the past few years.

One year and three days after King Zhaoxiang's death, the new King of Qin also left. An Guojun only served as the king for three days... He only saw the ministers once, and even many appointments had not been issued, so he hurriedly left. The ministers were not surprised. An Guojun's physical condition had always been very bad, especially after King Zhaoxiang's death, he was on the sickbed all year round and could not get up. The ministers even thought that he might not be able to survive the filial piety period.

The joy brought by the original victory disappeared so quickly.

When Zhao Kuo heard this bad news, he couldn't believe it. He died three days after ascending the throne. He didn't know what An Guojun was like in history, but he remembered that the Emperor of Eternal Ascension ascended the throne at a young age. So it seems that Yiren couldn't hold on for too long? Unlike the sadness of the Qin people, Zhao Kuo's disciples and their families seemed much calmer. They were not Qin people and did not have such strong feelings for the King of Qin.

An Guojun had never visited Zhao Kuo because of his health. To these people, An Guojun was just a stranger. Even Zhao Zheng did not have much grief on his face, and he seemed not very willing to cry. He had no feelings for this great father... When Zhao Kuo took him to mourn the king, he lowered his head and said nothing, which was completely different from the other young men who cried into tears and were out of place.

Yi Ren cried very sadly. Zhao Kuo didn't think it was a disguise. He was really sad... And the ministers who did not dare to get too close to Yi Ren were also surrounded by him at this moment, because after the death of the King of Qin, Yi Ren would become the king of Qin. Whether it was the ministers, nobles like Yangquanjun, or brothers of Yi Ren, the eyes of Yi Ren became much more respectful when they looked at Yi Ren.

The brothers who were originally hostile to him were now holding him and calling him brothers, crying in a mess.

The funeral was still very simple. Zhao Kuo also understood why Shang Yang, a Legalist, proposed a festival burial like Mozhe. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of the situation like An Guojun. If several kings died in a short period of time, and they had to mobilize many troops every time, and the people of the whole country had to be mobilized, it would be the biggest disaster for a country. Zhao Kuo still had some respect for An Guojun.

Unlike his father, An Guojun is more humane than King Zhaoxiang. He has his own doting concubines and he also likes to call his children and grandchildren to his side. King Zhaoxiang is a pure king. He only has the only way to govern the country. King Zhaoxiang can sacrifice his family for Qin, but An Guojun probably won't do this. During the year he actually ruled Qin, he also did a lot of things.

Qin is a very lucky country.

After Qin Xian Gong Zhao Lian ascended the throne, he carried out reforms in Qin. He abolished the death of people and moved the capital to Liyang, expanded the commercial activities of Qin, established household registration, promoted the county system, and recovered Hexi, defeated Han and Wei... and made the people of the world discover that Qin had quite a potential. After him, Qin Xiaogong Yingquliang, who succeeded him, he relied on Shang Yang to carry out reforms, established county administration, and opened up the country. While strengthening centralization, he continued to increase agricultural production.

To the outside world, Qin and Chu married each other and made a contract with Han, and joined forces with Qi, Zhao attacked the capital of Wei, Anyi, and expanded the land to the east of Luoshui.

It made the people of the world discover that Qin State is quite strong.

After him, King Huiwen of Qin, Ying Si, killed Shang Yang, did not abolish his reforms. He called himself the King of Qin and became the first king of Qin. During his reign, Wen had Zhang Yi, Lianheng in the six kingdoms, Wu had Gongsun Yan, Chulizi, Sima Cuo, who fought in the north to Yiqu, pacified Bashu in the west, went out of Hangu in the east, and went south to Shangyu... and began a crazy expansion path, which made the people of the world discover why the Qin State was so strong??

After him, King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, was tall and strong, and Kong Wu was warlike. He set up prime ministers internally, formed a alliance with Wei Kingdom externally, and joined forces with Yue to control Chu. In military terms, he attacked Yiyang, set up Sanchuan, pacified Shu chaos, and changed the borders, built fields and laws, cleared rivers, built dikes and bridges... Although he had only been a king for four years, what he had done in the past four years exceeded the achievements of the monarchs of other countries for more than ten years... He made the people of the world realize that if they were united, they could not defeat the tyrannical Qin.

And after that, King Zhaoxiang, there is no need to say anything more. Fan Ju in the left hand and Bai Qi in the right hand made the coalition forces of various countries scream, calling Qin invincible!

And An Guojun, who had just passed away, ascended the throne for three days... but he was not mediocre. If he was in better health... he was probably also a wise king. As for Yiren, Zhao Kuo didn't know how he performed in history. However, judging from his daily behavior, he was definitely a qualified king. Ying Zheng after him... Well... Qin State has produced wise kings from Duke Xian to now, which is a bit too bullying.

In the feudal era, the talents of a king could largely determine the rise and fall of a country. Looking at the king who lost his country, he was not very talented. Even if he wanted to implement some policies that were good, he was too hasty. He did not think about feasibility at all, and could not see the situation among the people, nor could he hear the advice of his ministers, which eventually led to the demise of the country. Such a king was not a wise ruler.

After seeing off the King of Qin, Zhao Kuo took Zheng home and sat in the carriage. Ge was still saying: "That strange man is going to be the King of Qin? When he was in Zhao, he was so down and out. No one in the entire Zhao nobles, except you, would be willing to pay attention to him. Now he is going to be the King of Qin..." Ge's words were quite a bit too crazy about this era, but Zhao Kuo ignored him.

Ge said again: "When Lu Buwei took out all his wealth to support him, he probably saw that he might be the king... This merchant is amazing, I am afraid that he will become the most favored minister of Qin in the future... But I don't like him very much. Every time I see him, I feel like a profiteer in Handan City, thinking about how to cheat my money..."

"Duke Ge... It is a serious crime to slander the prime minister and the king in Qin State..." Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke.

Ge said angrily: "This is not good at Qin State. Everything you do is a serious crime. That day I repaired the car in the courtyard, but the village chief even punished me with a shield. What does it have to do with him? Even this is illegal! Political! If you succeed to the throne in the future, remember to issue a law! It is innocent to repair your own carriage in the mansion!"

"Ahem..." Zhao Kuo cleared his throat, and Ge did not continue to say anything.

Zhao Zheng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

When they just returned home, they saw a big head poking out of the door, looking around, Ge glanced at it, and immediately said with a sneer: "Isn't this the chief official Shi Baishi, the official's official in the Prime Minister's Office, Di? Why are you here?" Di walked out with a smile. Ge stopped the carriage, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Zheng also got out of the carriage. Zhao Zheng hurried to Di. After Di and Zhao Kuo met, they bent down and secretly gave Zheng something.

While pulling the carriage into the courtyard, Ge said, "I don't know you are coming, and I have not made any preparations. Why didn't you bring your accompanying warriors, retainers, guests, etc." Di looked at him disdainfully, and then said, "I'm here to see you, a commoner. Is it necessary to bring these with you? There is not even a title!"

"Ha, just your title is high. I heard you were helping him guard the door in Lu Buwei's mansion?"

"How come you are not dead, you are old thief?"

The two started arguing again. Zhao Kuo had already gotten used to it and walked over directly from the two of them. He didn't bother to pay attention to these two people. In the courtyard, fortunately, Zhao Fu, Li Yu and others were around, and they were talking about something. When they saw Zhao Kuo coming, they stood up immediately. Zhao Kuo was very happy. Since they arrived in Qin, they have all gone to various places to serve as officials, and Li Yu has even become a county magistrate and have a chance to rise further.

They haven't been together for a long time.

It turned out that they were all taking leave to mourn the King of Qin this time, and the main purpose was to see Zhao Kuo. Zhao Zheng was naturally very happy to see these people. Everyone sat together and chatted. Ge and Di came in the last time. Ge pushed Xun away, then sat in his seat, looked at him again, and said, "All of them were thieves, why did you become a pavilion chief? Di can even get into the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Fortunately, he was not angry, just smiled and said, "I don't know Dido."

Di nodded and said, "But, I have read a lot of books recently."

"Oh, I don't know that there is such a great scholar hidden by my side, Di Zi, who is so respectful."

There was another familiar quarrel. Li Yu sat next to Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "The canal that Mr. Zheng wants to build is in Fuping. He still remembers me. He was very happy after meeting him. He is busy building the canal now... He is out all day long, eating rough food and not sleeping well. He is a very persistent person..." Zhao Kuo nodded from time to time, and then said: "You have to send someone to take good care of him..."

Zhao Fu stayed by Zhao Kuo's side and didn't go anywhere. At this moment, he just listened to them chat with peace of mind. Zhao Fu was a little old now, no longer as strong and powerful as he used to, and he spoke less. He just listened to them chat quietly on weekdays.

"Where is Ming? Why didn't Ming come?"

Di suddenly turned around and said, "I went to Wei State Ming, Oh, it was the Prime Minister who sent him... He is the deputy envoy..."

"Why, Qin sent an envoy to Wei State? What is this to do?"

Di immediately became energetic, looked at them, and whispered: "I tell Er Sanzi, but Er Sanzi should not tell others about this...this matter..." Zhao Kuo immediately scolded loudly: "Di! You can't say much! You are an official of Qin now, so you must obey the laws of Qin!" Di was helpless and did not continue to say it, and the others knew the importance of it, and did not force them to ask, directly shifting the topic.

They chatted for a long time, and Zhao Fu prepared the meal again and everyone enjoyed it. They were all very happy. They enjoyed such a life. Speaking of which, having titles like now and being officials in various places is not the life they want. At this moment, it was as if they were still in Handan, and they started chatting happily. Li Yu reminded them many times that the King of Qin had just passed away. Logically speaking, it was impossible to gather or joke.

These people stayed until evening before leaving one after another.

Zhao Kuo said goodbye reluctantly. Di hugged Kang and pecked him several times on his face before he let him go, and the last one left here. Zhao Zheng also stood at the door with his father and said goodbye to them one by one. They were also sighing. Before they knew it, Zhao Zheng became so big that he could no longer tease him like before. Fortunately, there was Kang. Kang looked at the fruits in his arms and smiled foolishly.

Zhao Zheng smiled and looked at him, and he immediately ran away with the fruit in his arms.

This made Zhao Zheng very angry and shouted: "I won't steal your food! Why are you running away!"

The two brothers always quarrel. Zhao Kang is too young and he can't quarrel. But he knows how to anger his brother, ruin the castle he had finally built, paint on his bamboo slips, and quarrel with his brother at night and then pee on his bed... These practices always make Zhao Zheng furious. On several occasions, he vowed to cut off relations with Zhao Kang, but when the little guy kissed his face with shamelessness, the vow disappeared without a trace.

The good news is that Yi is pregnant again.

This year, Zhao Zheng was nine years old and Zhao Kang was three years old... Zhao Kang didn't know why his parents, eldest mother and others were so happy, and he didn't know why his father picked up his mother and cheered. Zhao Zheng looked much more worried. Before Zhao Kang was born, he was so expecting that his mother would give birth to a younger brother for him as soon as possible, but now, when Zhao Kang grew up, this sense of expectation has also disappeared.

Zhao Zheng was always worried that Zhao Kang alone would be annoying enough. If he had another one, what would he do?

He could only think in the better direction. Maybe his mother would give birth to a child who was not as naughty as Zhao Kang, or maybe his mother would give birth to a sister for him, so she would not be as angry as Zhao Kang... right?

Just when Zhao Kuo was happy that he was about to have a third child, Xunzi came to his mansion.

It was Li Si who helped him come. Xunzi first congratulated Zhao Kuo, and then he expressed his intention to leave Qin.

"Why?"

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised. Xunzi was already very old. At such an old age, where did he want to go after leaving Qin?

Xunzi smiled and said, "In Qin State, I can't eat this food even if I face Gongsun Long all day..." Zhao Kuo chuckled. Xunzi was obviously joking. Although he looked down on famous masters and Gongsun Long, their relationship was still very good. Xunzi became serious and said, "I am very old. I want to go to various places to see them, collect more outstanding disciples, and inherit my knowledge..."

"My poem was passed on to Mao Heng."

"The Book of Changes was passed on to Li Si."

"But no one can inherit "Music", "Rites", and "Spring and Autumn"..."

"I have to find a suitable disciple and let them continue to carry forward my theory... Otherwise, when I die, my theory will be buried with me..."
