Lu Buwei left.

The last prime minister of Qin left.

Many people say that Qin was able to complete the unification of the country. This is because Qin has produced wise monarchs for several generations. Of course, this is certain. If it weren't for the wise monarchs, Shang Yang might have been looking for kings who could reuse him everywhere, perhaps Fan Ju was still hiding in the dark and licking his wounds, and Lu Buwei was still busy doing his own business. However, the prime ministers who have been running around for the unification of the Qin State over the years have also made an indelible contribution.

Starting from Baili Xi, Chuliji, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Wei Ran, Fan Ju, Lu Buwei... None of these prime ministers are mediocre. The famous prime minister Bailixi who was exchanged for a piece of sheepskin, to Chuliji, who created the word "think tank", Shang Yang, who reformed the powerful, Zhang Yi, who joined forces with each other, Gan Mao, who overly pacified Shu, Wei Ran, who fought south and north, Fan Ju, who attacked far and near, and finally, Lu Buwei, who seemed to have no achievements.

However, Lu Buwei, who was responsible for the final project, has made indelible achievements in both official history and the current timeline, and can be ranked alongside those prime ministers... All countries have not produced virtuous prime ministers, but they are not as frequent as Qin. Basically, there is one in every era and it is not interrupted. Even during the transition period between the two virtuous prime ministers, people like Cai Ze were completed, which is very terrifying.

The death of Lu Buwei seemed to declare the loneliness of an old era. Perhaps, the old era had not yet completely left, and his last shadow was still shrouded in the sky of Qin, shaking. The emperor came to mourn Lu Buwei himself. Although Lu Buwei had hurt the current emperor in some things, the emperor did not hold grudges. He made more contributions than Lu Buwei's fault.

Lu Buwei died at an old age and was not suffering from illness. This is already considered a happy funeral.

Lu Buwei's sudden departure also made Zhao Kuo awaken. He didn't have much time left, and he should complete what he wanted to do as soon as possible. Now Zhao Kuo is only concerned about the Western Regions. Now it is the best opportunity to open up the Western Regions. Zhao Kuo didn't know whether the road to the Western Regions would be cut off. He vaguely remembered that a heroic lord from the Xiongnu unified the grassland and controlled the Western Regions, making the Han Dynasty's road to the Western Regions very difficult.

Unfortunately, Zhao Kuo couldn't remember the accurate news about the hero. He seemed to be about the same age as Liu Bang. Liu Bang was in his twenties, so the hero should have come to his prime, and might have served as the leader of the Huns. However, the Huns suffered such failures before, and Zhao Kuo didn't know whether the hero was still alive... When talking about the matter on the grassland, Zhao Kuo's first thought was to rape.

"Who is the Khan of the Huns now?"

"Touman Shanyu." said seriously.

"Is that one who was defeated by Li Mu?"

"yes."

"Do you know his age?"

"Well... I'm about thirty or forty years old."

Zhao Kuo frowned. He felt that this Touman was not the hero in history. He asked again: "How many children do he have?"

Looking at Zhao Kuo in front of him, he felt a little uneasy. Did the eldest father know? He pondered for a moment and said, "He has four children, the oldest one is just ten years old..."

"It's quite late for this guy to get married..."

"How, however, how do you know so clearly?"

"I have been in the Hun tribe."

Zhao Kuo nodded and did not continue to ask questions. For the sake of the Western Regions, Zhao Kuo called Gan Luo to his side again. Gan Luo was very willing to go on a mission, but the language problem made him unable to complete the instructions. It was not difficult to find translators who knew the two languages. However, it was difficult to find translators who could accurately complete the translation and ensure the smooth progress of diplomatic work. Zhao Kuo still felt that Gan Luo was the best candidate for missions outside the Great Wall.

Gan Luo is intelligent and courageous. When he was a teenager, he dared to go to Zhao State to face the king of a country... When he grew up, he talked freely to Zhao Kuo without any restraint. This is the most basic quality of being a diplomat. Zhao Kuo frowned and said seriously: "Wen Xinhou once said that there was an old friend's son in the north and was proficient in many languages. If you want this person to be invited back, when he comes, you will let him teach you or serve as a translator."

Gan Luo nodded and agreed to Zhao Kuo.

"I will learn as soon as possible and go to convince the Yuezhi King."

During this period, another major event happened. The new king of Donghu seemed to have contact with the two princes of North Korea. The two sides engaged in trade and had military assistance. After learning about this, Li Mu from Liaodong immediately summoned soldiers from all over the north to ambush the soldiers of Donghu. The two sides fought in the Korean area outside Liaodong. Li Mu first defeated the cavalry responsible for escorting Donghu and captured their caravans. Then he set up an ambush to attack Donghu's pursuers, annihilated more than 40,000 Donghu soldiers in one battle.

The newly promoted Donghu King was furious and kept summoning troops from all over the country, as if he wanted to attack the northern region. Li Mu was not afraid and prepared to defend himself and wanted to attack Donghu. However, after waiting for a long time, Donghu did not come to attack. The Donghu King's offensive intention turned out to be just a fog. He took advantage of Li Mu's defensive deployment and sent a caravan to complete trade with North Korea again, and then withdrew from the border area and was unwilling to border with Li Mu.

Li Mu summoned his soldiers to build cities outside the border, and his impetuousness was enough. Such actions could not seduce the King of Donghu. No matter what Li Mu did, the King of Donghu was just unwilling to come.

The emperor was very happy and did not forget to reward Li Mu and the soldiers from the north. With Li Mu in the north, Donghu even protects himself became a problem. Li Mu did not just passively like other generals. He was a meat-eating border general, and he would attack from time to time to prevent the enemy from having the chance to become stronger. Such a border general is rare. After all, most generals are passively defending, and as long as the enemy does not attack, they will not take the initiative.

Li Mu's control of the fighter jets made it difficult for Donghu to have a chance to become strong. Li Mu would even send cavalry to plunder the Donghu tribe, bring these people back to Liaodong, enrich their internal household registration, and weaken Donghu's strength... This made the status of both sides suddenly change, and Donghu began to find ways to resist Li Mu's robbery. If their population was enough, maybe they would have to build the Great Wall to resist Li Mu...

This is why Zhao Kuo valued Li Mu. In the position of guarding the border, no one can do better than Li Mu, and Zhao Kuo can't do it. The most important responsibility of the general is to surround the territory. From this perspective, Li Mu is probably the best general of this era. The war in the southwest is still going on, and Zhao Kang does not seem to be going to fight, but rather to develop the southwest. He built Ling Canal in the southwest, opened up arable land, and encouraged immigrants... constantly compressing the enemy's range of activities.

Many tribes in Baiyue could not stand such a life of escape and began to surrender. Zhao Kang was still very good at these surrendered Baiyue people, allowing them to live in their homeland without pursuing them for their resistance... It can be seen that Zhao Kang learned a lot from his father, but the life of the Baiyue army became increasingly sad.

In Qin, various systems were constantly being improved and implemented, and officials from all over the country began to become sufficient. Li Si, a practical person, did not like to put forward too many ideas. He just passively completed the orders, which was in disguise and synchronized with the inaction and governance in Huang-Lao's thoughts. All regions began to get out of the destruction suffered during the war and slowly developed. Among them, the fastest development was Qi.

Qi did not experience the destruction of the war, and Qin cleared away the corrupt officials in Qi. After the industry, commerce and farming in Qi began to develop rapidly without the influence of chaos, it became a treasure land of Qin alongside the Guanzhong region. Zhao Kuo gave up his excessive interference in Qin's government affairs, which is also an important prerequisite for the development of various places. They can finally be busy with their own affairs with peace of mind and ignore other things.

The main affairs of Qin State were handled by Li Si and Han Fei. Although the two often quarreled, they could do everything they could when they cooperated.

Everything was moving in a good direction. The emperor who couldn't sit still began to think about building large-scale water conservancy projects on both sides of the river (Yellow River) to solve the problem of river flooding. The gray-haired Zheng State is said to be running into the palace again. I don't know how he negotiated with the emperor. However, these things were not what Zhao Kuo cares about. Zhao Kuo believes that the current emperor and his ministers will do it well.

Sitting in the mansion, Zhao Kuo was holding books in his handwritten books, and the books were all written on them. The books were all conversations with Lu Buwei. In front of him, there was a young minor official. The minor official lowered his head and felt very frightened. There were not many people who could remain calm in front of Zhao Kuo. This book was specially given to Zhao Kuo by the minor official. The minor official was an official who served Lu Buwei in the past. Every time Zhao Kuo came to chat with Lu Buwei, he would take out paper and pen to record it.

Now that Lu Buwei has left, the minor official is going to go somewhere else. Before leaving, he wants to give this book to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at this book seriously. It was full of memories. It was about him and Lu Buwei. The little official wrote very detailedly, and he did not miss a single word. His shorthand ability was almost comparable to Han Fei. Moreover, he did not add any of his own understanding. He copied it completely according to the chat records of the two people. Even some of the jokes of the two were written in truth. His handwriting was very good. Zhao Kuo realized that the little official was also a good talent.

Zhao Kuo put down the books in his hand and asked with a smile: "What name do you call it?"

The little official was a little excited, and he hurriedly leaned over and bowed, saying, "I am from Zhao, the grandson of Zhao Anyang Jun... called Gao." Zhao Kuo was stunned, Zhao Anyang Jun? He thought seriously for a moment and remembered who this person was. Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang was the crown prince of Zhao Wuling King. When King Wuling deposed Zhao Zhang and asked Zhao Helai to be King Zhao, it later triggered a rebellion. Anyang Jun was killed and King Wuling was starved to death.

This Anyang Junzhang also has two younger brothers, one is Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and the other is Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.

It seems that this minor official is still Zhao Kuo's relative, although he is a distant relative... Relative, Zhao Kuo smiled and was about to ask something, but suddenly, he was stunned... What was he saying just now? Gao? Zhao Gao? Although Zhao Kuo didn't understand history very well, Zhao Gao still knew that the culprit of the demise of Qin State, together with Li Si, had committed an edict to kill Prince Fusu... At that moment, Zhao Kuo's face gradually became dull.

Seeing Zhao Kuo's face gradually becoming dull from a smile, Zhao Gao was confused and just looked at him in a daze.

"Zhao Gao?"

"Marquis Wucheng..." Zhao Gao lowered his head and waited for his orders. Zhao Kuo frowned and asked quietly: "Are you the descendant of Anyang Jun?" Zhao Gao nodded and said: "When my eldest father was killed, my father was also expelled, so he came to Qin and served as a minor official... Later, because his father helped Chunpingjun assassinate General Meng Ao, he was executed, and his mother was taken to the Hidden Palace, where I was born..."

Zhao Kuo was already sure that this was the Zhao Gao in history... Zhao Gao in history has many statements, some thought he was a eunuch, some thought he was born in the Hidden Palace, some thought he was a royal family of the Zhao State, and some thought he was the Qin State Office. Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, looked at the evil guy in front of him, and asked again: "Then how did you serve as an official?"

"The emperor ascended the throne and was amnesty for the sinners... I have studied since I was a child and knew the law. I passed the assessment and served as a minor official..." Zhao Gao said seriously, and could see that he was a little excited. After all, he had experienced a lot of experience from being able to reach this level since a sinner. Today, he could meet the Marquis of Wu Cheng, whom he admired the most, and he also told Zhao Kuo all the words buried in his heart.

You can see the hidden officials of Qin as prisons and welfare homes. The criminal law of Qin is very harsh, and he cuts his nose and ears at any time. Of course, this is the former criminal law. After experiencing such criminal law, these criminals cannot come out to meet people because they look terrifying and will suffer a lot of insults. Therefore, the Qin State established such an institution to accept those "terrifying" criminals. In addition, disabled people and deformed people must be accepted.

There is the monster gathering place, and Zhao Gao was born there. It can be seen that his mother suffered inhuman torture and became a terrible monster. After giving birth to him, her mother gave birth to several other children at the Hidden Official. They were not the same father and mother as Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao was very good to these brothers... Zhao Gao met many officials tortured into monsters at the monster gathering place. Most of these people entered because of corruption, frame-up and other behaviors.

From the mouths of these people who had corrupt and illegal noses cut off, Zhao Gao learned the law, from those who had their hands cut off due to calculation errors, from those who had their knees cut off for no reason due to sitting, from those monsters tortured by harsh laws, and from those abandoned deformed people, Zhao Gao learned a lot... Zhao Kuo could not imagine how miserable the childhood of the stinger in front of him was.

He lives by a group of "monsters", but Zhao Gao doesn't think so. He smiled. His childhood was very happy and very happy. After leaving the Hidden Official, he encountered many terrible monsters. The truly terrible monsters were outside the Hidden Official, and the ones in Hidden Official were just the tortured.
