"There are immortals in the East China Sea who will live forever!"
After carving these eight words, when Ying Zheng was about to blow out the lamp, he suddenly remembered what the immortal told him before he left.
In order to explore the final truth and meet the 'person' in the immortal's mouth, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo piece in his hand and rubbed it for a long time.
finally,
He used the carving knife again to scrape off the eight words on it and carved another sentence -
"I, the King, want to be the real King of Qin!"
Although Ying Zheng was the King of Qin on the surface at this time, in fact the power of the Qin Dynasty was controlled by Lu Buwei.
Even his mother Zhao Ji committed herself to Lu Buwei!
And he,
He also called Lu Buwei 'Father Zhong' in public!
What a shame!
this moment,
Deep in Ying Zheng's heart, the violent feeling inherited from Zulong suddenly awakened!
…
the next day,
Prime Minister's Mansion!
Lu Buwei looked at the bamboo slices in his hands with joy in his eyes!
but,
Later, he groped again and found the scratched-off layer of marks on it. His brows furrowed again, and he turned to look at the man in black in front of him.
After casually throwing the bamboo pieces into the nearby brazier, he asked casually: "What did the king carve in the first place?"
"have no idea!"
The man in black lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Prime Minister, my subordinates only know that the king carved eight characters at the beginning, but they were not the characters of our Qin country, but the characters used by the Zhao country!"
"My subordinates only recognize two of the characters, namely 'you' and '长', but they don't recognize the others!"
After saying that,
The body of the man in black was trembling even more violently. A large amount of cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. His fingertips even turned white due to being so nervous!
And at this time,
Lu Buwei stroked his mustache and frowned: "Eight words? Eight words!"
But the man in black kneeling there didn't see that when Lu Buwei was talking, he made a gesture of wiping his neck to a guard next to him!
The next second,
The guard raised his knife and killed the man in black with a single click. Blood spurted out on Lu Buwei.
At this time,
Lu Buwei picked up a blank piece of bamboo, carved a few characters, and threw it to an old man next to him.
The old man is a slave of the Lu family.
He used to do business with Lu Buwei in Zhao State, and he was his confidant!
But after the old man took the bamboo slip and looked at it for a while, he said cautiously: "Master, this seems to be the writing of the State of Zhao?"
"Um!"
After Lu Buwei took a sip of water, he asked calmly: "You have stayed in Zhao for most of your life and followed me for twenty years. Do you know what the true story is about?"
After hearing this, the old man immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Master is joking. I don't even know my own name. How can I recognize the words on it?"
"The reason why I know it's written by the State of Zhao is because it looks familiar to me. I know it, but I don't know it!"
"now it's right!"
After hearing this, Lu Buwei put down the water in his hand and said to himself: "Even you, who have lived in Zhao for most of your life, don't know the writing of Zhao, but this guard can!"
"hiss!"
After hearing this, the old man took a deep breath and said in shock with a suspicious tone: "Master, what you mean is... that he is a spy of Zhao State?"
"You don't know if you're a spy or not, but you're not a good person anyway!"
Lu Buwei said, looking at the general on the side, and said coldly: "Since the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao has nothing to worry about, but the thieves are determined to destroy our Qin Dynasty, and even the guards around the King of Qin can insert spies! "
After saying that,
Lu Buwei closed his eyes and said slowly: "Investigate thoroughly, I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The general took the order and left quickly!
To talk about the efficiency of the Qin people, it is truly unparalleled. In just half a day, more than 40 of Ying Zheng's 300 personal guards were killed...
As for the eight characters Ying Zheng carved at the beginning,
Lu Buwei didn't have the time to investigate!
at the same time,
Qin Palace,
Ying Zheng listened to the screams outside with a dark face, clenching his fists so hard that his teeth were about to break!
this moment,
He understood deeply,
His father-in-law, Lu Buwei, was the biggest stumbling block to his unification of the Qin Dynasty!
Especially soon,
Lu Buwei recruited literati from all over the world with great fanfare and wrote "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". In the end, he even came up with the legend of "a word of gold".
This made Ying Zheng's desire to kill Lu Buwei even stronger!
…
Time flies,
Nine years later,
With the help of Queen Mother Zhao Ji, Li Si and others, Ying Zheng held a coronation ceremony for the adult king in Yongcheng, the former capital of Qin Dynasty!
After taking charge of the government and stabilizing his rule, the first thing Ying Zheng did was to kill Lu Buwei!
A generation of Qin Wang Zhongfu,
In the end, he died in the hands of the monarch whom he supported with one hand!
then,
Ying Zheng once again killed Lao Ai, Queen Mother Zhao Ji's right-hand man.
While killing Lao Ai, he unexpectedly discovered that he had two more half-brothers, and his mentality instantly changed drastically.
this moment,
Deep in his heart, Zu Long's violent feelings revived again, and the humanity in his heart was once again burned like fire!
So Ying Zheng was so angry that he threw the two children to death and ordered others to chop them into pieces!
Since then,
Queen Mother Zhao Ji was also placed under house arrest forever!
After removing Lu Buwei and destroying Lao Ai, with the assistance of Li Si and others, Ying Zheng quickly took control of the entire Qin State!
A change in the political power of a small country would naturally not attract the attention of the almighty Emperor of Heaven.
so,
Ying Zheng also escaped unintentionally!
And one night,
He was reading in his study, looking at a bunch of manuscripts written by the Legalists, and at the same time thinking about the way forward, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.
And Ying Zheng's first thought was that someone was trying to harm him!
He immediately cheered up and shouted angrily: "You are so bold and unruly, how dare you harm..."
But before he could finish speaking, a familiar sound of sea waves came to his ears. After the angry shouts suddenly stopped, he began to pay attention to his surroundings.
I have come to the fairy island in my dream again!
Subsequently,
Ying Zheng found that the female fairy whose appearance he had forgotten was looking at him with a smile in front of him, holding a bead as big as a human head in her hand. While he was surprised,
I also had a deep curiosity about that bead, and an inexplicable feeling of closeness!
At this time,
Mother Wudang walked up with a smile and looked at the grown-up Ying Zheng, with a playful expression on her face again, which made Ying Zheng look cold and embarrassed.
Just when he was about to speak, Our Lady of Wudang suddenly smiled and said: "How about the unruly people?"
"The fairy is joking!"
If you should be cowardly, be cowardly.
Ying Zheng dared to kill Lu Buwei, behead Lao Ai, and kill his younger brother, but now he doesn't want to act wild in front of the Holy Mother.
because,
He wants to find out the secret of immortality!
At this time,
Our Lady of Wudang also saw through Ying Zheng's thoughts, waved her hand and threw the Ancestral Dragon Pearl to Ying Zheng, pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "Hold it and go up, there is the answer you want on it!"
After saying that,
Mother Wudang looked at Ying Zheng who suddenly stopped looking at her, and a very dangerous thought came to her mind, but she was unaware of it...
