Zhang Ji was eloquent, and Ying Zheng was stunned as he listened to each word.
Since ancient times, rulers of all ages have resorted to killing to stop rumors.
Regardless of whether this is a rumor or the truth, as long as people know the consequences of spreading it, they will not spread the rumor openly, but it will still be recorded in the history books.
However, Zhang Ji's method was somewhat unique, directly targeting the culprit of the rumor spread to make him lose his trust.
The words of untrustworthy people will naturally not be adopted by anyone. This is true for nobles and even more so for common people.
As for Zhang Ji's plan to let Luo Wang spread rumors about his abdication and even involving Zhao Ji and Queen Mother Huayang, what does that mean?
Rumors are just rumors after all.
Ying Zheng, who wanted to understand the secret, clasped his hands and laughed, then grabbed Zhang Ji's hand and praised: "Sir, you have a wonderful idea, I admire you!"
However, Zhao Ji on the side looked a little unkindly.
Zhao Ji has a little intelligence, but no big vision.
You can see the immediate gains and losses, but you can't see the long-term benefits.
Zhang Ji's plan just now was a clever one in Ying Zheng's eyes. Maybe he, Zhao Ji, Queen Mother Huayang and others would fall into rumors in a short period of time, but it would only take half a month for Lao Ai's poisonous plan to be revealed. Bankruptcy could even provide Ying Zheng with a reasonable excuse to take down Lao Ai.
Lao Ai's retainer was captured by Luo Wen, and Lao Ai could still quibble. After all, Luo Wen's reputation was there, and someone might be able to find an excuse to say that Luo Wen had convicted Lao Ai of unwarranted charges. But if the common people captured Lao Ai's retainer If you file a report, then no matter how much sophistry Lao Ai makes, you can't excuse Lao Ai.
Could it be that simple and innocent people would wrong you?
Even though in this era, the lives of the people are not as good as grass, but the people's heart is still a powerful weapon.
Mohist thought is inseparable from universal love, Confucian thought is inseparable from "people" and "benevolence", and Legalism's rule of law is ultimately based on the use of people's hearts. The theories of hundreds of schools of thought in the world cannot be separated from the common people. The largest class.
In addition, these rumors deliberately spread by Zhang Ji also involved the Queen Mother Huayang of the Chu family and many other dignitaries. Even if they saw that this was Zhang Ji's strategy, they had to stand up and antagonize Lao Ai.
This was Zhang Ji's conspiracy, otherwise they would have admitted that the rumors related to them were not rumors but facts.
Pulling the Chu faction and other factions into trouble is another wonderful feature of Zhang Ji's strategy
Moreover, Ying Zheng previously wanted to legitimately resolve Lao Ai without causing a military disaster, also because he took into account the public sentiment and rumors.
If Lao Ai is executed with the support of the common people and the powerful people of various factions, there will be no public support or rumors, and the world will only praise Ying Zheng.
It was obviously a good strategy of rogue against rogue, but in Zhao Ji's ears, all she could hear was "spreading rumors that the Queen Mother is about to marry Lu Xiangbang".
"Sir, this is a wonderful idea."
Zhao Ji said something nonchalantly, her face no longer had the same smile as before.
She was not a fool, and she could understand how clever Zhang Ji's plan was, but she just felt uncomfortable.
After all, Zhao Ji comes from an ordinary wealthy family and has been a dancer for many years. In HD, in order to raise Ying Zheng, she had to work like ordinary people for food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if she put on a noble phoenix robe, she became the leader of the world. Even the most noble woman can still find it difficult to conceal the femininity in her heart. This is why the Empress Dowager Huayang, who is Ying Zichu's aunt, doesn't like Zhao Ji.
Moreover, Zhao Ji's biggest character trait is her clear distinction between love and hate.
For someone who has a clear distinction between love and hate, never try to reason with her.
She may understand the truth better than you, but like a willful girlfriend, she is generally unwilling to compromise.
And for this kind of person who has a clear distinction between love and hate, especially someone as extreme as Zhao Ji, her temperament can be summed up in one sentence.
Those who love want to live, those who hate want to die.
For those who care about themselves and those who care about themselves, Zhao Ji will pay corresponding rewards. But for those whom she hates, Zhao Ji will also wish for them to die quickly.
Although Lu Buwei was not someone Zhao Ji wanted to die, he was still someone Zhao Ji hated.
After all, Lu Buwei once abandoned her and gave her to Ying Zichu, and then fled back to Qin with Ying Zichu, abandoning her again. Although it was Lu Buwei who personally joined HD in the end and killed everyone in the Zhao court, it was difficult to change the fact that he abandoned Zhao Ji twice.
Therefore, Zhao Ji really couldn't listen to these rumors involving her and Lu Buwei. But the plan was Zhang Ji's after all, and the people he helped included not only himself, but also his son, who had gone through all kinds of hardships to conceive and give birth to him in ten months.
Zhao Ji reached out her hand and tried to touch Ying Zheng's head. When she reached out, she found that the child she watched growing up was already much taller than herself. Although Ying Zheng took the initiative to lower his head and let Zhao Ji touch him, he was no longer the child he once was, shouting "Mom" and "Mom" and following behind him with a runny nose.
He is the King of Qin, an adult who has reached the age of double ten and can be crowned and govern.
Zhao Ji suddenly felt that her eyes were a little sore. She rubbed her sore eyes and looked at Ying Zheng's increasingly angular face, and couldn't help but smile softly.
This is all for Zheng'er.
Seeing Zhao Ji's red eyes and soft smile, Ying Zheng wondered: "What's wrong with mother?"
Zhao Ji shook her head lightly and said softly: "No, I just feel that my Zheng'er has grown up and it's time to become the real king of Qin."
"Zheng'er, after some time, I will be crowned and take charge."
Before Ying Zheng could react, Zhao Ji continued: "The princes and kings do not have to follow the ancient etiquette, and they will be crowned again when they reach the double decade. King Wen was crowned at the age of twelve, and he was crowned at the age of fifteen. My Zheng'er has not only already At twenty years old, you are already a qualified king who can take on the responsibility of the country and country passed down by your ancestors."
"The characters created in ancient times have the same character as "Jade King". The character "王" has three horizontal lines and one vertical line. The three horizontal lines represent heaven, earth and people, and the one vertical line represents the connection between heaven, earth and people. He is called king."
"Mother believes that my Zheng'er will become the most outstanding king in the history of Qin."
After saying that, Zhao Ji handed over the two tokens left to her by Ying Zichu to Ying Zheng. A look of relief appeared on Zhao Ji's pretty face after handing over her power.
At least she was worthy of Ying Zichu in raising her son.
And it's time for her to pursue her own happiness.
Immediately, Zhao Ji looked around, looking for Zhang Ji's figure, but found that Zhang Ji had disappeared into the Liuying Hall at some point.
Huh, want to escape?
She was willing to endure the rumors for half a month for her son, but that didn't mean she would let the person who proposed this plan go.
After leaving the palace door, Zhao Ji looked at the figure in black who was looking at her not far away, stretched out her pink tongue and gently licked her dry red lips.
I don't know if it was the first time I spoke so many words in one go, or if it was for some other reason that my throat felt dry and thirsty.
Looking at the handsome young man, Zhao Ji crossed her slender index fingers to make a cross.
Tonight, don’t get out of bed without ten times!
