Chapter 3 Growth
In a blink of an eye, a few months passed. Although Xiao Fusu, as the eldest son of the King of Qin, enjoyed thousands of favors for a while, being stuck in his cradles all day long was not a very pleasant thing for Fusu, who loved to move. Therefore, when Xiao Fusu, who has always been very "deep", would always be so boring that he would "calm the sky and the earth" and call it "the method of spiritual venting".
But this made the palace maids and eunuchs on duty suffer, because at this time they were often severely punished by the eunuch leaders for their poor care! For a period of time, Fusu even regarded this naughty method as his only pastime and entertainment. But soon, Fusu got tired of this kind of game. After all, the palace maids and eunuchs were both miserable people, and it was a little unbearable to always tease them. So he had to continue to endure the painful life in his cradle!
Fortunately, the babies are sleepy due to growth needs, so Fusu finally survived the first few months of his life and was lucky enough not to become an idiot!
At this time, the seemingly calm Qin political arena was in secret, and it was very dangerous: the prime minister Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, who was headed by the prime minister, who controlled the power of the government, and the royal party, led by the commander Huan Yi, general Meng Ao, Meng Wu and his son, wanted to make the Qin king take power as soon as possible, were fighting to death. The Qin king Ying Zheng, who was temporarily powerless, could only watch the fierce battle coldly! And Li Si, Zhao Gao, and Lao Ai, these three
A poisonous snake also began to appear on the stage of history, but at this time the three of them were still low-ranking and unable to control the political situation. They could only rely on their own masters to seek their greatest interests in this chaos. (Li Si was swaying between the party and the royal party, and was a typical fence-bearer; Zhao Gao was dependent on the king of Qin and was a royal protector; while Lao Ai took the route of the empress dowager and was the mistress of the queen mother of the queen Yu!)
Although Fusu, who knew the current chaos, was anxious for his father Ying Zheng, he could not help at all because he was still gritting his teeth and working hard to take the first step in his life.
When Fusu was finally ten months old, Concubine Zheng was reluctant to let him go and refused to let Xiao Fusu learn to walk! When Fusu was anxious and slowly took the first step in life with her tender calves under the help of her mother, tears of happiness immediately flowed out of Concubine Zheng's eyes. In the ancient society where "mother is noble by her son", Fusu was the only guarantee for her happy life in the future!
Although Fusu had gone through a long road in his previous life, he seemed to have forgotten the ancient proverb of "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry". He was full of curiosity about the outside world and tried hard to walk independently early, but his unscrupulous legs knocked Fusu to the ground again and again, shattering his hopes again and again! During this period of time when he was about to walk, the two words that appeared most frequently in Fusu's heart: depression!
But as time went by, slowly, the smart little Fusu learned to stagger and move at a speed that could surprise people every day. Three or four months later, although Fusu could already walk steadily, what still made him a little depressed was that the group of trepidated palace servants following him did not dare to let him go too far. Every time he was about to step out of the palace gate, he would carry him back, killing his curiosity for the outside world, and furious Fusu was so angry that he grinded his teeth secretly! Although he seemed to have no teeth at this time!
Finally one day, while the night was quiet and the palace servants were already asleep, Xiao Fusu secretly crawled away from the cradle and walked past the small side door to the outside world he had longed for! In the night, countless bright lights illuminated the huge palace as bright as day, allowing Xiao Fusu to fully appreciate the wisdom and power of his ancestors: the city walls like dragons, the palaces like tigers, the green city walls, the white jade stairs, the glazed roof, the majestic beast suppression... All of this, under the lights, looks so magnificent and so dazzling.
Fusu was shocked, and he couldn't help but shout to the sky: "What a great country! What a magnificent momentum! Your son will rule you and lead you to conquer the world!" Looking at this magnificent palace, Fusu's heart was filled with a desire for power!
Xiao Fusu, who was in a turbulent mood, was obsessed with the magnificence of the Qin Palace for a while, and walked forward with his calves. Maybe he was lucky, maybe he was too small, maybe he was walking too remote, in short, the Qin Huben Imperial Guards, who have always been known for their defense, did not find this little troublemaker this time, and let him wander around leisurely!
Slowly, Fusu felt his legs getting heavier and heavier, and the upper and lower eyelids of his eyes began to fight. Fusu knew that it was not good, and knew that his current physical strength and energy were not enough to support him to wander outside for too long, so he immediately decided to return to his mother's bedroom.
However, the poor Fusu immediately discovered a terrible fact: in the maze-like deep palace, this little rookie got lost!!! I don’t know how long I walked around, but I dared to walk in the remote place. I finally fainted. I was knocked down by the Sandman and fell asleep. Fortunately, it was still summer and the weather was hot, otherwise it might have ruined his life!
It doesn't matter if he slept irresponsibly, but the palace was in trouble. When the maids woke up at dawn, they were frightened to find that the eldest son Fusu disappeared, everyone was so scared that they were trembling with a look of earth. The palace servants who dared not hide it immediately reported the matter to Concubine Zheng and Zong Zheng, who was in charge of the royal affairs of the clan. Concubine Zheng, Zong Zheng and others did not dare to disturb the King of Qin, who was still in the pain of losing his mother (the grandmother of King Ying Zheng of Qin), and immediately ordered people to search around Jianzhang Palace!
However, Zheng Fei and others who had nothing to report the terrible news to Ying Zheng, the King of Qin who was about to leave the palace to meet Gongsun Yu privately. The shocked King of Qin was so angry that his eyes almost burst out with fire: It's so outrageous. My only beloved son actually disappeared in this heavily guarded palace!
The furious Ying Zheng immediately mobilized the Hu Ben Army to cooperate with the palace servants in the palace to use a "carpet-style" search to combed the entire palace carefully. An hour later, a team of Hu Ben Army finally found Xiao Fusu, who was biting his fingers and sleeping soundly in a remote alley. The overjoyed Hu Ben Army immediately hugged Xiao Fusu carefully and sent it to the Qin King who was still anxiously waiting for the news.
Seeing that Fusu was basically in good condition, King Qin and Concubine Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial physician who had already served him came forward to diagnose Fusu's pulse! The imperial physician, who was originally a little trembling in his heart, felt relieved after taking the pulse. He carefully put down Fusu's little hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the young master is not seriously injured. He just suffered a little cold. Take some cold medicine and you will be fine if you rest for a day!" Everyone immediately let go of their hearts when they heard this!
Although Ying Zheng was a little puzzled at this time how Xiao Fusu could run so far, the child was ignorant and could not punish him, so only the palace servants on duty were unlucky! Ying Zheng, whose face darkened, immediately ordered: "Come, let everyone on duty be fifty to serve as a warning! After the fight, all the people were assigned to servile servants, and another group of people served Fusu Young Master!" At this time, the palace servants on duty who were originally frightened and kneeling on the steps were secretly relieved: Because according to Qin law, the crime of taking care of the prince was seriously incomplete, and the Qin King Ying Zheng was already showing mercy!
When Ying Zheng's face turned pale and ordered the poor palace servants to beat them, Fusu had already woken up. He watched the palace servants with shock in Concubine Zheng's arms as they were beaten to pieces and howls with ghosts and wolves, and his heart was filled with guilt!
This incident taught Fusu a good first lesson in ancient times, that is: since he was born as the eldest son of the royal family, every word and action should be in line with his identity and etiquette! Otherwise, it will not only bring countless troubles to himself, but will also cause the innocent people around him to pay a heavy price!
With this enlightenment, Fusu immediately became honest and became his good baby in the underground palace. Because he no longer wanted his absurd behavior to cause the palace servants to be cruelly punished. You must know that this time it was a poker, and next time it might be a beheading!
In the winter of the seventh year of King Zheng of Qin, under the secret instruction of King Ying Zheng of Qin, Fengchang, who was in charge of etiquette and Zong Zheng, who was in charge of the royal affairs, jointly submitted a memorial: King Zheng of Qin and Prince Cheng Chuang were both 20 years old and should be ready to perform the ceremony. They also chose the best auspicious day for the ceremony to hold the ceremony at noon on the first day of the first month of next year (the first day of the Lunar New Year). However, the memorial was submitted to the prime minister Lu Buwei, but he was voted back. Lu Buwei, who still held the power of the country, criticized the reason: the Zhou Li man was twenty years old, which was calculated based on the actual age of twenty, not the age of twenty. He even instructed those officials who had been his disciples and were introduced to the court as a doctor, and they quoted the classics and "fighted with reason", so the matter of the ceremony was dismissed. In this way, the first planned power seizure by King Ying Zheng of Qin was then stopped and ended in vain!
Although Ying Zheng was unhappy with the failure of this power seizure, and his anger towards Lu Buwei became more intense, he became more and more profound and humble on the surface, and completely pretended to be the king of powerlessness, which made Lu Buwei feel relieved! However, Ying Zheng secretly joined forces with many royal ministers to prepare for a new round of power seizure, so that he would not have much time to see the poor little Fusu.
Fortunately, although it was very regretful that it was difficult for Xiao Fusu to see that great father often, he did not feel much displeasure for Fusu who gradually integrated into the life of the Qin people. Because he could walk, speak, run or jump, he found that he had many places in the Qin Palace that were worthy of his interest. He was full of curiosity and always liked to take a group of ambush palace servants to wander around the palace every day!
In the spring of the eighth year of King Zheng of Qin, another secret event happened in Qin State: King Ying Zheng, who had just been beaten by Lu Buwei, went out of the palace alone to meet his former lover Gongsun Yu. As a result, the matter was leaked and the incident was discovered by Gongsun Yu's husband, who was also a relative of Qin State. Although the relationship between Ying Zheng and Gongsun Yu was still in a state of affection and ritual, the jealousy was deeply in a cuckolded manner. He secretly gathered a group of outlaws to launch the killing of the king when King Ying Zheng went to meet Gongsun Yu through Shanglinyuan. Perhaps it was because Ying Zheng's fate was great. This was defeated by the assassination operation that was originally prepared by the long-term death of Chang'an Jun Cheng Chuang who was about to be buried beside Ying Zheng. In the chaos, he won his death! It was also considered that Ying Zheng would never stop!
Although Ying Zheng covered up the truth about winning his death afterwards, Ying Zheng, who was full of guilt, still gave up Ying as the doctor and was buried with a grand funeral! Moreover, without any obstacles, Ying Zheng immediately summoned Gongsun Yu, who was still mourning, into the palace and temporarily served as the official in charge of the weaving in the palace, and gave the title "Gongsun Everyone"!
After hearing this, Xiao Fusu smiled bitterly in his heart: Alas, why are men always so stupid for women? Look, another one who killed their lives for women! Also, Dad is the king of a country and the emperor of Wan Cheng, and he is also jealous and fights for women like ordinary men. However, although this incident made Fusu shake his head a little, he also discovered that Ying Zheng was hiding a little deeper and ordinary heart!
In the eighth year of King Zheng of Qin, in the middle of that year, the six cities of Shangdang County originally belonged to Zhao State rebelled again and killed the local leaders sent by Qin. The furious King Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei immediately sent an army of 100,000 to use Chang'an Jun Chengqi as the commander to send troops to quell the rebellion!
But to everyone's surprise, the Shangdang's anti-rebellion war actually had deep inside information: this was the plan of Lu Buwei taking the opportunity to get rid of Chang'an Jun Cheng Chuang, one of the right-hand assistants of King Yingzheng of Qin. After Cheng Chuang's army advanced to Shangdang to suppress the rebellion, Lu Buwei immediately cut off the supply of food and grass from the front-line Qin army, and blocked all news of food shortage on the front, and was ready to use the Zhao people to make Cheng Chuang die!
However, the development of the situation exceeded Lu Buwei's expectations. The Qin army on the front line did not fight to the end as he thought! The food was gone and the assistance was gone. The Qin army, who were extremely angry with Lu Buwei, held Cheng Chuang and Zhao people to make peace with each other under the leadership of the generals Ying He, Ying Yue and others in the army, led the troops to rebel!
Ying Zheng was shocked when he heard his younger brother rebelling against him, but he also keenly realized that this was a good time for him to seize power. The angry Qin King in the court righteously criticized Lu Buwei for concealing the news of the failure on the front line and other faults. With the support of the royal ministers, he first deprived Lu Buwei of his military power, and then used his confidant Meng Wu as a cavalry and shot to separate half of Lu Buwei's power. In this way, the mature Ying Zheng beautifully launched an invisible coup, greatly weakening Lu Buwei's power.
Ying Zheng, who was in power, quickly mobilized 100,000 troops to send troops to Shangdang to quell the rebellion. Ying Zheng, who personally led the army, showed extremely high military talent. Regardless of marching and formation, and designing, they were all in order and outstanding, which gave the generals who followed the army the illusion that they had nothing to do!
Shangdang arrived soon. When he heard Ying Zheng's arrival, Cheng Chuang, who was ashamed, fell from the city and fell down when the rebel generals such as Ying Yue did not pay attention, and were seriously injured and confused. The rebellious Qin army had no head and was pacified by Qin King Ying Zheng within two hours!
Afterwards, Cheng Zheng, who was seriously injured and dying, told Ying Zheng the truth about the incident and died that night. The anger in Ying Zheng, who had a deep relationship with Cheng Zheng, began to burn, and at this moment, Ying Zheng made up his mind to execute Lu Buwei. Ridiculously, Lu Buwei, who directed this farce of "digging his own pit and burying himself" still dreamed of regaining power without fear!
While Ying Zheng, the triumphant victory, brought news of victory, it also gave Lu Buwei a heavy blow again: After Ying Zheng returned in March of the ninth year, he immediately ordered the royal family to hold a ceremony for himself and officially grasped the regime. Then, with lightning speed, the Prime Minister was responsible for administration, the National Guard was responsible for military affairs, and the Ting Wei was responsible for the separation of powers of the criminal law, which greatly weakened Lu Buwei's power. Lu Buwei's future is coming soon!
While witnessing all this, Fusu, who personally experienced the cruelty of the palace political struggle, grew up slowly in the fight between iron and blood, sadly the young death of his uncle Chang'an, who loved his great love for his family! From then on, Fusu began to feel dissatisfied with Lu Buwei, but he knew that Lu Buwei's death was not far away, and he finally felt a little comfort in his heart for the pain of Uncle Sang!
Shortly after the King of Qin Ying Zheng's ceremony, Changxin Hou Lao Ai, who was shameless and claimed to be Ying Zheng's "fake father", heard that the King of Qin was going to attack him, so he rushed to start a rebellion in a hurry. Unfortunately, he could only confused the empress dowager's little face tricks, which was a brilliant opponent of Ying Zheng! Ying Zheng, who had completely obtained military power, quickly used the tiger talisman to mobilize countless Tiger Ben Imperial Guards to curb Lao Ai and win thousands of fox parties in one go. After Lao Ai was captured, Ying Zheng ordered his car to be split and died! The two sons born to him and the empress dowager were executed by Ying Zheng, and the empress dowager was also under house arrest!
In March of the tenth year of King Zheng of Qin, King Yingzheng of Qin, who had collected evidence of Lu Buwei's crimes, made public the crimes of Lu Buwei, and cut off his fiefdom and drove him to Henan. Not long after, he made him slander for the excuse that Lu Buwei still did not repent and made him slap himself! Lu Buwei, who sighed to the sky, could not repay Ying Zheng at all, and could not take action. Lu Buwei, who directed the tragedy of "son killing his father" with one hand, had to smile bitterly and slap himself!
From then on, all the enemies that could be seen in the Ming Dynasty in the Great Qin were cut off by Ying Zheng one by one. The King of Qin had already controlled all the military and political power of the Great Qin. From then on, the Great Qin Empire, a chariot with a full horsepower, began to accumulate strength and move quickly towards the goal of unification of the six countries!
Fusu, who admired his father's cleverness in this series of politics and military struggle, slowly learned the experiences and lessons and accumulated his political wisdom! Because he will be at the helm of the future of the Great Qin Empire, he will never allow the tragedy of the great Qin Empire II to happen again!
Thinking of Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai, Fusu couldn't help but laugh: Just by these three poisonous snakes that overestimate themselves, you want to fight against me who are familiar with history, you are not qualified!
This chapter contains the knowledge points of the Great Qin:
1. The origin of the only true love woman in King Ying Zheng’s life (from official and unofficial history)
2. The military power of Qin is all concentrated in the hands of the King of Qin. Only the King of Qin can mobilize soldiers with the tiger talisman. Anyone who has no tiger talisman can mobilize more than 50 troops without the tiger talisman will die. The tiger talisman is a pair, one is placed in the place of the commander and the other is placed in the place of the King of Qin. Only two tigers can be mobilized when the army is matched with two to one time. Lao Ai's coup failed because he could not get the tiger talisman to mobilize the army! (From the official history)
