The rebellion started by Changxin Hou Lao Ai, the favored minister of the King of Qin and the Queen Mother, who called himself the "false father" of the current King of Qin, was quelled by Qin King Yingzheng, Changping Jun and others in just a few days, and did not harm the Qin State at all. vitality.
Twenty of Lao Ai's best partisans, including Wei Jie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Ge Jie, and Zhongda Fu Ling Qi, followed Lao Ai's guests and sacrificed their lives. Those who committed minor crimes were paid by those who served in the ancestral temple; those who committed serious crimes were paid by ghosts. More than four thousand people seized the title and moved to Shu, where they served for three years. The two sons born to Lao Ai and Queen Mother Zhao Ji were also put into sacks and beaten to death. The three clans of Lao Ai were also all killed.
Although Zhao Ji was unaware of Lao Ai's bold behavior, after all, it all started because of her indulgence, and Ying Zheng punished her by imprisoning her in Yongcheng.
Afterwards, Ying Zheng severed the relationship between mother and son and never saw each other again. He also explicitly ordered the courtiers to "slaughter and kill anyone who dares to advise the Queen Mother on her affairs." Twenty-seven ministers who came to remonstrate were brutally executed because of this incident, and their corpses were hung on the palace walls for public display. Until the twenty-eighth remonstrator Mao Jiao persuaded King Qin Yingzheng to take his mother Zhao Ji back to Xianyang on the grounds that "the King of Qin wants to unify the world, he must put filial piety first", and Zhao Ji was finally able to enjoy his old age in peace.
As for the net that Lao Ai was responsible for commanding, Ying Zheng showed the courage of a heroic leader. On the grounds that these people were only deceived by Lao Ai, he only dealt with a handful of Lao Ai's confidants and his die-hard loyalists. He pardoned the remaining killers of Luo Sheng and allowed them to serve their crimes.
Lu Buwei, who introduced Lao Ai into the palace, would not be so lucky. His ambiguous attitude during the Lao Ai Rebellion destined that Ying Zheng, who was now in power, would not reuse him again.
When Ying Zheng entered the palace, he convened the ministers for the first time. After dealing with the Lao Ai rebellion, the first thing he did was to announce that Lu Xiangguo had assisted the late emperor for many years and supported him until he was in charge. It was a hard work and it was time to take care of himself. It’s been a long time.
Ying Zheng decided to remove him from the position of prime minister, and gave him a large sum of money to return to his fiefdom of Henan, where he was granted the title of Marquis Wenxin. His position was transferred to Lord Changping. Regarding this, all the important ministers involved expressed their opinions: Wang Shengming, Lu Xiangguo , no, Marquis of Wenxin Lu Buwei's position is going well.
After handling these matters, Ying Zheng began to reward the heroes who had suppressed the Lao'ai rebellion. Among them, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen received the most generous rewards.
Lord Changping replaced Lu Buwei as the prime minister, and would later assist the King of Qin in winning the government and wiping out Lu Buwei's remaining power in the Qing Dynasty.
Chang Wenjun was awarded a title for his meritorious service in participating in the suppression of the rebellion.
Gai Nie, Li Si, Meng Tian and others who accompanied him all the way were all rewarded, and it was no problem to be promoted to a higher position.
Next, there is the reward from Prince Han for killing the leader of the thieves, Lao Ai. Some well-informed ministers in Xianyang City have already received the news. In addition, Prince Han has no intention of hiding it. His identity is that he should have died in the net. The important ministers of the Qin State knew that Chang'an Jun was killed before the early dynasty.
It's just that I don't know how King Qin plans to arrange it, so no one raised it. By the time the people who put down the rebellion had all received rewards, the critical moment of the court meeting finally came. What reward would Prince Han have for Cheng Qi?
Lord Changping, who had long been in contact with Ying Zheng, was the first to stand up and propose that capable people like Prince Han should be given fiefs and titles to the Qin State for joining the Qin State and for their achievements in suppressing rebellions. This shows the Qin State's love for talents in the world.
Qin Wangzheng immediately said that the words of the Prime Minister were very popular among the people, but he didn't know where he should be granted and what title he should be given.
The new court official Li Si immediately gave a suggestion. There were many fiefdoms in Guanzhong and it was no longer suitable to grant them. It was better to turn the land with a radius of a hundred miles in Bajun and close to Baiyue into a fiefdom for Prince Han.
As for the title, it is simpler. It can be said that the highest title in the Qin State's twenty-level military merit title system is Chehou.
The name of Chehou was later changed to Tonghou to avoid the taboo of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and later to Liehou.
Because South Korea still exists now and is one of the Seven Kingdoms. Prince Han used to be a man of the world and had no taboos. But now that he has joined the Qin Kingdom, he can no longer do so.
If you need to avoid taboos, you might as well adopt a homophonic pronunciation and change "Han" to "Han" to become "Han Hou". That's it.
After hearing what Li Si said, King Qin was overjoyed and decided to adopt Li Si's suggestion. Lord Changping, who had just taken over the post of prime minister, also said that this was a great kindness and agreed.
Seeing Lord Changping's statement, the ministers who had made it this far understood that the King of Qin had probably already privately discussed with Lord Changping, Li Si and others on how to reward him.
But this is fine, Cheng Qi will not return to the court, and it is naturally best to compete with everyone for the power left by Lu Buwei's departure.
And after all, he is the young son of the late king. Even though he is apparently dead, he cannot be treated lightly. Being granted a remote place shows that he will not return to the court again. It is good for both parties and there will be no objections.
At this point, the reward for Prince Han has been finalized and changed to "Marquis of Han", and he will soon go to the fiefdom to surrender.
When Cheng Qi received the royal decree, he couldn't help but be surprised that he was granted the title of Marquis of the Han Dynasty. He had to know that he had reached an agreement with Ying Zheng and that after the world was unified, he would be granted the title of Prince of the Han Dynasty.
When the time comes, you will be renamed "King of Han". What do you want Liu Bang to do next? Genius 78 ⒎8
However, Cheng Qi then figured out that since he had come to this world and joined the Qin State, he would not sit back and watch the Qin State die after two generations as it had in history.
A group of peasant rebels, including Liu Bang, were destined to perish.
The next step is to return to his own fiefdom and hide for a while as planned.
More than a year later, Cheng Qi, who was running his own fiefdom, received news of the incarnation. Lu Buwei, who had been dismissed from his position as prime minister, still did not know how to restrain himself after returning to his fiefdom. There was an endless stream of guests and envoys from various vassal states, and there were still thousands of guests. Ying Zheng, who wanted to let him go, was very disgusted.
He wrote to Lu Buwei and said: "What contribution have you made to the Qin State? The Qin State granted you a seat in Henan, with a settlement of 100,000 households. What blood relationship do you have to the King of Qin? You are called Zhongfu. You and your family members all moved to Shu. Go and live in the land!" Knowing that he was about to be demoted to Shu, his decades of hard work and achievements were declared bankrupt, and his family was about to be exiled to Shu County. Instead of dying of old age inactive or being ordered to die in the future, it was better to end it on his own. faster.
After serving in government for many years, he built the Zhengguo Canal, laid the material foundation for the unification of the world for the Qin State, compiled Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals and other masterpieces that "prepared everything in the world for ancient and modern affairs", and became a new explorer of the theory of feudal unification. Lu Buwei was exiled On the way to Shu County, he committed suicide by drinking poison.
After his death, the King of Qin issued a decree to pardon Lu Buwei's family and a group of retainers, allowing him to return to Xianyang to live.
