Chapter 23: Qin Shi Huang

Chapter 23: The Twenty-Third Qin Shi Huang (End)
[Mixed cut of Ying Zheng's life - <The 259th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, BC> Ying Zheng was born in Handan, the capital of Zhao State. His father Ying Yiren (later renamed Zichu) was a hostage of Prince Zhao, and his mother was Zhao Ji.

<The 259th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, BC> After the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao refused to abide by the agreement to cede territory, so the Qin army attacked Zhao, captured Wu'an and Taiyuan of Zhao, and attacked Handan.

<The 257th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, BC> Three years after the Battle of Handan, Zhao wanted to kill Ying Yiren, and Lü Buwei fled to Qin with him. Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng were left in Zhao and were hidden by their mother's family, thus escaping the disaster.

<The 56th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin·9 years old> King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, Ying Zhu ascended the throne and made Ying Zichu the crown prince. The State of Zhao sent Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng back to Qin.

<The first year of King Xiaowen of Qin, aged ten> Ying Zhu died suddenly three days after he officially ascended the throne. He was posthumously named "Xiaowen". Ying Zichu ascended the throne and made Ying Zheng the crown prince and Zhao Ji the queen.

<In the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, aged 13> Ying Zichu died and was posthumously named "Zhuangxiang". Ying Zheng ascended the throne and appointed Lü Buwei as prime minister, honoring him with the title "Zhongfu".】

Yingji: Why did this day go by so slowly? It was as if I met his great-grandson.

Ying Zhu, who was once again reminded that he would die in two days, could not be happy at all.

Lu Buwei, who once again has a sense of existence, will soon pass away. He decided to write books in peace from now on.

When Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng recalled the days when his mother took him to hide and survive when he was young, his eyes were filled with complexity.

[<The first year of King Zheng of Qin, aged 14> The King of Han intended to weaken Qin, so he sent Zheng Guo into Qin to build a canal.

<The sixth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged 19> The five countries of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan attacked Qin, but were repelled by Qin.

When Ying Zheng was young, Queen Mother Zhao Ji had an affair with Lu Buwei. Later, Lu Buwei was worried that the affair would be exposed, so he presented Lao Ai to Zhao Ji.

<The eighth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged 21> The king’s younger brother Cheng Jiao rebelled against Qin in Tunliu, and Lao Ai was granted the title of Marquis of Changxin and took over the power of state affairs.

<In the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged 22> He was crowned and took charge of government, suppressing the rebellion of Lao Ai.

<In the tenth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged twenty-three> Prime Minister Lü Buwei was dismissed and ordered to move to his fiefdom, Luoyang.

<The tenth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged twenty-three>Due to the incidents involving Zheng Guo, Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai, an order to expel foreigners was issued.

<The tenth year of King Zheng of Qin, aged twenty-three> He adopted Li Si's "Letter of Remonstrance Against Expelling Foreigners", revoked the order to expel foreigners, and re-employed foreign officials from the six countries.

<In the tenth year of Qin Wang Zheng, when he was twenty-three years old> Wei Liao came to Qin to offer advice. 】

[Qin Shi Huang, who was stabbed in the back throughout his life, was a beautiful, strong and miserable person.]
[A beautiful, strong, tragic, and counterattacking male protagonist.]
[Likes from the spirited old Qin people!]

A true Qin person: People from later generations, you have good vision.

[<The seventeenth year of King Zheng of Qin·30 years old> Nei Shi Teng led his army to destroy Han, captured King An of Han, and established Yingchuan County in the former territory of Han.

<The 18th year of King Zheng of Qin, 31 years old>Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe and Jiang Wei divided their troops into three groups and attacked the State of Zhao.

<The 19th year of King Zheng of Qin, 32 years old> Wang Jian used a counter-espionage strategy to eliminate Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, and went straight to Handan, capturing King Qian of Zhao. Prince Jia fled to Dai and proclaimed himself king.

<The 20th year of King Zheng of Qin, 33 years old> Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to Qin to assassinate him, but failed. Then Wang Jian and Xin Sheng led their troops to attack Yan.

<The 21st year of King Zheng of Qin, 34 years old> Wang Jian conquered the Yan capital Jicheng, and King Xi of Yan fled to Liaodong. Li Xin led his troops to pursue him, and King Xi of Yan killed Prince Dan and asked for peace.

<In the 21st year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, aged 34> He did not accept Wang Jian's plan to destroy Chu with 600,000 troops, and ordered Li Xin to lead an army of 200,000 to destroy Chu. As a result, Wang Jian claimed to be ill and returned home.

<The 22nd year of King Zheng of Qin, 35 years old> Wang Ben led the water to flood the Wei capital Daliang, King Jia of Wei surrendered, and the State of Wei was destroyed.

<In the 23rd year of the reign of King Zheng of Qin, when he was 36 years old> Because Li Xin suffered a great defeat in his campaign against Chu, he went to Pingyang in person and strongly requested Wang Jian to be the general in the campaign against Chu.

<The 24th year of King Zheng of Qin, 37 years old> Wang Jian defeated the Chu army and captured the King of Chu. The Chu general Xiang Yan supported the new King of Chu in Huainan, but was later defeated and the Chu State was destroyed.

<The 25th year of King Zheng of Qin, 38 years old> Wang Ben and Li Xin led troops to capture Liaodong, captured King Xi of Yan, and the State of Yan was destroyed. They returned and conquered Dai, captured King Jia of Dai, and the State of Zhao was destroyed.

<The 26th year of King Zheng of Qin, 39 years old> Wang Ben and Li Xin led their troops to attack Qi, King Jian of Qi surrendered, and the State of Qi was destroyed.

<The 221th year of the reign of Qin Shi Huang, BC>The first unified dynasty in history, Qin, was established. 】[The King of Qin walked around the pillar! ]
[The king carries the sword! The king carries the sword!]
Ying Zheng's eyes went dark. Why did they keep emphasizing his dark history?

Liu Bang laughed every time he saw it, "The king carries a sword! Hahahaha..."

There was also a smile on Li Shimin's lips.

[<Creating the title of “Emperor”> The title was taken from the “Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors” and was called “Emperor”.

<Reform of official system>Implementing the bureaucratic system of "Three Dukes and Nine Ministers".

<Abolish the feudal system and implement the county system> Divide the country into thirty-six counties, and set up governors, lieutenants, and supervisors.

<Building the Great Wall, the Qin Straight Road, and the Lingqu Canal> formed a military system that could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.

"The First Emperor is the only emperor in the history of the world... Whether he is a saint or a devil is not something that can be easily judged." - Li Zhi, "Book Collection"

[All dynasties follow the Qin Dynasty's political system!]
[The first person to unify the country.]
[The instructor also commented: Qin Shi Huang was a good emperor. Qin Shi Huang was much greater than Confucius.]

Ying Zheng murmured, "All the generations have followed the Qin laws..."

He was naturally happy that the system he established could last for a thousand years, but he was even more eager for the Qin Dynasty to last for thousands of years.

Li Zhi laughed out loud, it turned out that people in later generations still knew him!
[Episode 1 - Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng has ended. The host of the next episode has not been revealed yet. You can guess. See you next time.]

……

The sky curtain disappeared temporarily, and Qin Chao quickly became busy.

Zhao Gao has been executed, and so has Hu Hai. Death is easy, but living is difficult.

The First Emperor directly ordered Hu Hai to be demoted to a commoner, and had the unconscious Hu Hai sent to Meng Tian to build the Great Wall, so that he would be out of sight and out of mind.

As for what his children were going to do when they swarmed out from under his sight, he simply turned a blind eye and did nothing about it.

There are also Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Liang...

Ying Zheng ordered: "Meng Yi, take your men to investigate."

Meng Yi: "Yes."

Your Majesty means to take them alive. The people mentioned by Tianmu are definitely not ordinary people in history. Take them back to Xianyang first.

I’m afraid that some of them changed their names later, so the probability of finding them will be very low.

Finally, the First Emperor's gaze fell on Li Si, who had been kneeling on the ground.

Coldly: "Get up, I will spare your life for now."

Li Si and his ministers understood what was not said.

Forget about wealth and glory. Li Si can only work hard to survive. Once the First Emperor dies, Li Si will surely die as well.

Wang Ben and others shook their heads and asked, why bother?

Li Si's son married a princess, and his daughters married princes. Any one of them would be better than Hu Hai, right?

Emperors of all dynasties: I will definitely be talking about you in the next issue!
