After getting rid of Wang Yan, Ying Zheng showed his royal seal and showed his identity as the lord of Qin. With the support of Meng Tian, who had a high prestige in the army, he formally took control of the army stationed in Wusui.
With a large army on his side, Ying Zheng, who was protected, passed a secret edict to the two brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun. Historically, it was Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun who assisted Ying Zheng in quelling the Lao Ai Rebellion. As a result, they were awarded titles, but Qin Shili It is only mentioned that Lord Changping played an important role in quelling the Lao'ai Rebellion, but as his brother, Changwen Lord should also have participated, and ordered them to lead troops to Xianyang to quell the Lao'ai Rebellion.
Speaking of Lord Changping, we have to mention the division of power in the Qin court.
During the Warring States Period, there were many conquests among the seven kingdoms. However, due to interest relationships, there were many intermarriages among the royal families of various countries, and most of the people who accompanied the princesses in marriage were unfavored princes in the country.
The princess gave birth to an heir for the monarch, so she was not destined for the throne, but because she was of the monarch's blood, she became a force of her own.
After multiple generations of intermarriage, a force that can influence the court will naturally form.
This move also caused each country to have a powerful representative of foreign relatives composed of the other six countries.
Although the Qin State accepts talents from various countries, after hundreds of years of marriage with various countries, the most powerful ones in the country are already the foreign relatives from various countries.
For example, the mother of Cheng Qi, who was replaced by the protagonist, is the daughter of the current King of Han. The eldest princess of South Korea can't find any information about Cheng Qi's mother. She only said that she was the daughter of King Han Henghui. Based on her age, she should be the eldest daughter. . , Cheng Qi is the representative of Korean relatives in the Qin court. 7·8·中文··七八
Therefore, according to seniority, the protagonist should call Han Fei his uncle.
Ying Zheng's mother, the Queen Mother Qin, and Lao Ai were both from Zhao, and were representatives of Zhao's foreign relatives.
Lord Changping was the most powerful representative of Chu's foreign relatives in Qin.
Everyone says that "Qin and Jin are good", but in fact the relationship between Qin and Chu is even closer. They have been married since the Spring and Autumn Period, which has lasted for eighteen generations.
The most famous among them is the mother of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Empress Dowager Xuan Mi Bazi, also known as Mi Yue, the queen of King Qin Xiaowen, the wife of Huayang who adopted Yingzheng's father, King Qin Zhuangxiang, as her adopted son. The surname is Mi, Xiong.
Changping Jun's life experience is even more extraordinary. He is the son of Xiong Yuan, King of Chu Kaolie.
At that time, Xiong Yuan, the crown prince of Chu State, was held hostage by Qin State. Later, he married the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and gave birth to his eldest son Changping Jun and his second son Changwen Jun.
At that time, Mrs. Huayang, who was still the wife of King Qin Xiaowen of Anguo, as a member of the Chu royal family, took good care of the prince from his homeland.
Later, after Xiong Yuan left Qin, Changping Jun and his family were able to survive in Qin under the care of Mrs. Huayang.
After the death of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen ascended the throne as King of Qin, and Mrs. Huayang became Queen.
But King Xiaowen of Qin only reigned for three days and died. The adopted son Zi Chu succeeded to the throne as King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and respected Mrs. Huayang as the Queen Mother. Subsequently, with the support of the Queen Mother Huayang, Lord Changping gradually entered the Qin government.
In order to win over the powerful foreign relatives of Chu, Ying Zheng even married the daughter of Lord Changping as his queen.
Therefore, Fusu should call Lord Changping his grandfather. Of course, the above are all speculations by historians, and there is no conclusion yet.
Now we just need to wait for the food and grass to be ready and the surrounding soldiers and horses to gather, then we can march straight to Xianyang, join forces with Lord Changping, and put down the rebellion launched by Lao Ai in one fell swoop.
On the eve of the army's departure, inside the royal tent, Ying Zheng seemed to be waiting for someone to come.
After a gust of breeze, a person appeared in the big tent.
It was Cheng Qi who came from Xinzheng to settle the grudge with Xuanjian.
The first thing Ying Zheng said when they met was, "It seems that Xuan Jian is dead, and you have got back what belongs to you." But he noticed the jasper ring on Cheng Qi's hand.
"Indeed, I narrowly escaped death back then. If I hadn't had another chance encounter, I would have really died in the trap. Now I have finally avenged my great revenge, and I won't go back to hiding for the past three years."
"I had a quick farewell in Xinzheng City before, but I haven't told you yet about Ziying's condition in Xianyang?"
The Ziying that Ying Zheng mentioned was his young son who stayed in Xianyang before he was besieged and killed by Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. He was also the so-called "third generation of Qin" in later history.
"With you here, I don't have to worry, right? Brother Wang."
"Back then, I fell into a trap and was falsely accused of being a traitor to the Qin State. Everyone in the mansion, except Ziying, was punished for treason. But the people who framed me back then were sealed instead. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to pay tribute to them. A liquidation." After saying this, Cheng Qi's deep resentment seemed to be aroused, and a strong murderous aura spread in the air.
Ying Zheng, who was talking to him, couldn't help but secretly wonder, what has Cheng Qi experienced in these three years? It just became what it is today.
In order to prevent his revenge from going too far and killing a lot of people, which would cause violent turmoil in the Qin State, he said: "What happened back then was complicated. There was not only Lao Ai, but there were people behind him."
Cheng Qi interrupted: "Of course I know that there are shadows of Lu Buwei and even the Queen Mother of Qin behind him. As the only prince of the late king, I naturally became a thorn in their side. Otherwise, with just one letter that day An unfounded letter is not enough to convict me, the young son of the late king of the Ming Dynasty, and the younger brother of the current king."
"and you"
"I am of the same bloodline as the former king, so I will not disturb the Qin Kingdom. I am going back this time just to kill the culprit."
"Are you the culprit? It turns out you had a plan for a long time. But I don't know what your plans will be after you go back and wipe out Lao Ai this time?"
"Cheng Qi has died long ago, and his name has been erased from the Qin clan's annals. Let him continue to exist as a dead person. Only the name of Prince Han remains in the world."
"Then after the Lao'ai Rebellion ends, where do you want to be rewarded?" Understanding Cheng Qi's meaning, Ying Zheng no longer had any worries, so he directly asked him what reward he wanted.
"I want a hundred miles of land in Shu, close to Baiyue, as a fiefdom."
"Is it just that simple?" It's not that Cheng Qi's requirements are too high, but rather too low.
A hundred miles of land may seem like a lot, but it depends on where it is placed. If it is placed in the densely populated Central Plains and Guanzhong areas, it can completely become a country within a country.
However, although Bashu in the Qin Dynasty had fertile land due to Li Bing's construction of Dujiangyan, the population was sparse and the output was not as rich as that of later generations. There are still many places that are smog-stricken and should not be approached by strangers.
In addition, the inner mountains are surrounded by mountains and transportation is inconvenient. Only the plains in Shu County are suitable for human habitation.
The Qin State now mainly relies on the output of the development of the eight hundred miles of fertile land in Guanzhong to dominate the world.
Didn’t you see that the land of Bashu and the land of Jiangnan became a province with a large population through the development of successive dynasties in later generations, especially during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The land of a hundred miles close to Baiyue that Cheng Qi sought was even sparsely populated. Qin had not yet established a favorable political power there, so it was a buffer zone to prevent the Baiyue people.
