Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 94 Surprised Qin State

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry!" Lord Chun Shen saw that the heat was almost over.

"After a while, the widow will probably become a prisoner, and the ending will not be much better than King Zhao Xiaocheng." King Chu Kaorie continued to cover his head, and then hurriedly grabbed Chunshen Jun's shoulder, "What? Do you have facilities?"

Lord Chun Shen was a little speechless, but he still said slowly: "Your Majesty, we only need to use the power of the Chu people in Qin to get rid of him."

"Indeed, Miyue was originally from the state of Chu, but she was not very close to you. They were officials in the state of Qin, how could they consider for us?" Although King Chu Kaolie was moved, he still didn't dare to do it. determined.

Therefore, Mr. Chunshen talked about all the conflicts between the Chu people's group and Ying Zheng. After listening to it, King Chu Kaolie said happily, "Can it be done?"

"Cheng Tianran is the best, but it doesn't matter to us." Chunshen Jun said with a dark smile. His plan was to unite with the Chu people and kill Ying Zheng.Even if it doesn't work, they can simply clean up the relationship, there is no need to worry about Qin's revenge.

In front of the prime minister's gate in Xianyang, Qin State, the road is so wide that it can accommodate four carriages driving side by side.Officials come and go all the time, big and small. Although there are queues waiting, they dare not show the slightest disrespect.

Because this is the residence of Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and he is the celebrity in front of King Qin.

Gang Chengjun, Cai Ze and Lu Buwei have a serious attitude, they are located near the teahouse in the study, every once in a while, they will add desserts or change a little tea.

"Congratulations to Buwei, now it's hard work, and he has become the prime minister of Qin." Cai Ze laughed and said, he had some friendship with Lu Buwei at first, but at that time Lu Buwei was just a well-known businessman, for an official of Cai Ze's level As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing at all.

But now, Lu Buwei has become the prime minister of Qin, even Cai Ze has to curry favor with him.

In the past dynasties, the prime ministers of the state of Qin have never been mediocre, and they all hold great power.

Lu Buwei is no exception.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Lu Buwei first poured a cup of tea for Cai Ze, and then poured a cup for himself.

Both of them are old foxes, after being polite to each other, they got to the point first.

"Recently, there has been one thing in the old man's heart, like a fishbone. If he doesn't say it, the old man will feel very painful. If he says it, he is afraid that the fishbone will hurt others. The truth is that the fishbone is extremely sharp." Cai Ze Said something expressively.

"The fishbone in the throat is not good for your health, so it's better to take it out. As for other things, it's a matter of course." Lu Buwei immediately understood and said with a smile.

"Since this is the case, the old man has made it clear that Cheng Jiao has been learning from the old man one after another recently, asking for advice on the art of war and the way of governing the country. He also slandered in the dark, saying that the crown prince has made two mistakes." Cai Ze drank it unhurriedly. Sipping tea, he secretly thought that this Lu Buwei is indeed a rich man, the quality of this tea is several times higher than his, and I don't know how to get it.

After Lu Buwei heard it, he came to his senses, and felt chills in his heart. Cheng Jiao actually continued to read, it seems that it must be completely removed, otherwise, it will not only become a stumbling block for Ying Zheng, but also for him.

"I wonder what the two mistakes are?" Lu Buwei wanted to know more carefully.

"One is that the crown prince has a close heart to the country of Zhao, because Ying Zheng's mother, Zhao Ji, is from the country of Zhao and has a very close relationship with the people of Zhao." Cai Ze slowly said.

"Ding Tianjun captured King Zhao Xiaocheng alive and killed Lian Po, Le Cheng, Le Yi, and Zhao Sheng. Now the Zhao State is in a state of ups and downs, and he can't wait to copy him. Even if he wants to get close to the Zhao State, the people of the Zhao State will not I agree, but I can get closer to the State of Zhao." Lu Buwei laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it, and he still had a smile on his face.

"The old man also thinks so. Judging from the current situation of the prince, there is no general idea of ​​having an affair with Zhao Guo. But the truth is that Cheng Jiao is just a child of seven or eight years old, and he is doomed to be confused." Cai Ze said to Lu Buwei's words Very approved.

"Gang Cheng Jun is very knowledgeable! Cheng Jiao is a child, and he only speaks occasionally, so there is no need to be serious." Lu Buwei took a sip of tea, and then called the servants in, and changed to a new tea.

"As for the second point, the old man has also heard about it. This boy has a lot of surly nature, and he is domineering and reckless. For example, the prince Fu Guanxue teased the tutor of the prince Fu's house, and even took his maid to live in the valley without permission. She died of her injuries. Ignoring treatment when you are sick...all of this is the most human behavior, let alone the behavior of a young man." After Cai Ze finished the second point, he looked at Lu Buwei, wanting to see what his feedback was.

Lu Buwei laughed lightly, he didn't pay attention to this at all, and said: "Gang Chengjun is useless to pay attention, the prince's ability must have its reasons, as long as he has to do things according to his entrustment, as for other things, don't worry about it." Stop thinking so much."

"In this case, wouldn't he be pampered? Although he is already the prince of Qin, it doesn't mean that he can mess around casually. If this continues, there will be no good seedlings. Isn't it over when he ascends the throne in the future? "Cai Ze said sadly, clearly admiring Ying Zheng very much, and hoped that he could embark on the right path.

"How is the prince now?" Lu Buwei asked intentionally.

"Now the crown prince is gifted with extraordinary talent, powerful enough to shake the six kingdoms. He is a rare talent in this world. Don't be afraid that the prime minister will laugh at him. At the crown prince's age, the old man can't even recite the Analects of Confucius, but the crown prince is already able to lead troops and recruit Talent makes people admire." Cai Ze said with emotion, clearly approving of Ying Zheng's talent.

"Gang Chengjun, the prince is a smart person, much smarter than you and me, and he will not do some stupid things. He has a lot of things, and I have no way to understand them, but they are correct, and they are right. Yes." Lu Buwei looked up slightly, and said slowly, as if he was thinking.

"The prime minister puts so much emphasis on the crown prince, which shows that the crown prince is powerful and irreparable. Such a waste, he must be strict with himself in order to achieve great things through the ages." Cai Ze said meaningfully, but he did not question Ying Zheng leading Qin to sweep the six kingdoms , fighting in the east.

"Gang Chengjun, if you say something unpleasant, I hope you will not get angry." Lu Buwei looked at Gang Chengjun and said, as if waiting for the other party's reply, as long as there was a flash of displeasure in the other party's eyes, Lu Buwei would abandon this topic.

"What did the prime minister say? Harsh words are good for sickness, and harsh advice is good for action. You and I are both working for the state of Qin, so how can you not listen to what you hear because of embarrassment?" Cai Ze obviously smiled, obviously not paying attention to Lu Buwei Say the words of the wind.

"You, I, or other people may not be able to teach him. Even, no one is qualified to teach him. Maybe only those high gods can teach our prince!" Lu Buwei tapped this place with his finger Looking at Cai Ze on the table, without blinking.

"This..." Cai Ze was a little hard to take back. The truth was too ironic for him. Even if it was true, he still didn't admire it.

"He is not an ordinary person, but the holy emperor appointed by the ancestors of the Qin State. What can we teach him? Who can teach him how to capture King Zhao Xiaocheng alive, who can teach him to subdue Li Cunxiao, who can teach him Can you teach him to train such a terrifying warrior?" Lu Buwei asked three times in succession, leaving Cai Ze in silence for a while.

"Indeed, it is impossible to teach the prince. He is the holy emperor. Although he has the most human behavior, he is not an ordinary person, but he is also normal." Cai Ze seemed a little frustrated. Can't teach.

But he knew that Ying Zheng was not an ordinary child, so it was normal.

"According to the old man's speculation, it might as well be that someone is behind it, it should be from Chu." Cai Ze closed the door and said in a low voice.

"Indeed, the Chu people have not given up their thoughts until now, but they are unexpectedly stubborn." Lu Buwei said with emotion. Even the heroic spirits of the Qin kings of the past dynasties have been discovered, and Yingzheng has been appointed as the holy emperor. These Chu people actually continue to read.

"The old man thinks that they are all obsessed with power, so they marry others many times. What should we do?" Cai Ze said with some worry. If the Chu people get into chaos, it may lead to the sharpness of Qin's internal strife and weakened strength.

"There is no need to worry! With the talent of the crown prince, it is impossible to answer these guys. This time, I think they might as well steal the chicken and not lose the rice." Lu Buwei thought of Huayang Jun's death at the time, and his back felt chills.

Since that time, Ying Zheng has never been treated like a child again.

"According to the situation, it is indeed the case. I just hope that there will be no bloodshed at that time. Just a few unilateral blows will be the end of this farce!" Cai Ze has several friends who also belong to the Chu people group. Thinking of Ying Zheng's horror, I couldn't help but mourn for them.

"Hmph! They asked for this. When will it be their Chu people's turn to be unrestrained in the land of our Great Qin?" Lu Buwei snorted coldly, and the arrogance of the prime minister was fully revealed, clearly showing the prestige of killing them this time. .

Even though he was already the prime minister, he was still restricted by those Chu people groups, which made him very unhappy.This time there is such a good opportunity, let them find trouble for Ying Zheng, and they will be bloody when the time comes.

"I have a few old friends, I hope the prime minister can take care of them when the time comes, and I will try my best to persuade them not to interfere with those things." Cai Ze pleaded, adding, "Their status is not high, they are just some simple things. It's just an official job."

"It's easy to say, the friendship between you and me is meaningless." Lu Buwei chuckled, feeling the beauty of authority for the first time.

In the palace of Qin State, Mrs. Huayang brought a large number of officials to the middle of the palace of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.

"My son has seen the queen mother." King Zhuangxiang of Qin hurriedly saluted, even though he didn't like Mrs. Huayang very much in his heart, he still had to do the proper etiquette.Seeing another group of officials behind Mrs. Huayang, my heart immediately came to my senses.

"Your Majesty is meaningless. This time Ai's family came here because they wanted to talk to the Majesty about something." Mrs. Huayang said slowly, but with an ambiguous tone. Anyway, if you agree today, you have to agree. Even if you don't agree, you have to agree.

"The appearance is very windy. It's okay to ask the queen mother to come to the palace and sit down, and then talk about it step by step." King Qin Zhuangxiang hesitated.If Mrs. Huayang is willing to enter the palace, then there is still a chance for negotiation. If she is not willing to enter the palace, then there is no chance for negotiation.

"It's pointless." Mrs. Huayang said coldly, the two of them didn't look like mother and son at all, but like enemies.

"Since this is the case, my son will follow what the queen mother said. I don't know what the queen mother is here for this time? It is a bit surprising for the son to mobilize the crowd." Qin Zhuangxiang King said lightly, it is clear that so many people came to the palace. Not very excited.

"This time, the Ai family came to look for the king, mainly because they want to start the prince's exam, promote the advanced prince, and let him become the new prince." Mrs. Huayang said slowly, but it made Qin Zhuangxiang's heart go cold for a while.

The Great Prince Examination was originally a kind of test conducted by the bright king in order to select a sufficient number of advanced heirs.However, now that he has established himself as the eldest son, there is no talk of a big exam at all.

Mrs. Huayang did this, obviously wanting to deny Yingzheng as the crown prince. Where can King Qin Zhuangxiang negotiate with him? Immediately said: "Mother, Qin already has a crown prince. The ups and downs of Qin are obvious to all. There is no need for a big test."

"But if a more advanced prince can be promoted through the big exam, doesn't the king want a more advanced prince? The Ai family shouldn't talk too much about state affairs, but the Ai family is also qualified to talk about the affairs of the royal family. Yes." Madam Huayang said with a straight face.

"Zheng'er has advanced enough. According to Ba'er's requirements, it is impossible to find a boy who is more advanced than Zheng'er in Qin State. Even among the Seven Kingdoms, it is impossible to find someone who is more advanced than Zheng'er. .” King Zhuangxiang of Qin declined politely.

"Hahaha! The king was laughing. Zheng'er's current achievements are indeed extraordinary, but in the past few hundred years, there have been many talented boys. Is there necessarily a boy who is twice as talented as Zheng'er? " Hua Mrs. Yang simply insisted that there would be a more talented boy, but this was simply not possible.

"Queen mother, there is no need for you to say any more. Since I have established the government and become the prince of Qin, it will not change." King Qin Zhuangxiang hardened once, and simply denied Mrs. Huayang's words.

"Your Majesty, are you serious about such a conclusion?" Mrs. Huayang said bitterly, trying not to burst out.

"Your Majesty, I request you to be able to return to the throne. According to what the Empress Dowager said, the princes of Qin State will be gathered together to conduct a grand examination. Based on the results of the major examination, a more advanced prince will be selected." Immediately, a minister came out and said, He has already made arrangements to come here.

"This..." Qin Zhuangxiang hesitated for a moment, but he flicked his sleeves and said loudly, "I have made up my mind."

"Your Majesty, please return the king to his cage!" All the ministers knelt down, their words full of begging.

"It's pointless to talk about it." King Qin Zhuangxiang stiffened again.

"If the king is unwilling to return to the cage and die, we will kneel here and remonstrate with death until the king can return to the cage and die." All the ministers said in unison, clearly having sufficient understanding of Ying Zichu's determination. Organize.

King Qin Zhuangxiang was so angry that he wanted to kill people, but these ministers actually wanted to admonish him with death, which seemed to be the practice of loyal ministers, but the reality was very green.It's okay to be young and strong, there is no big problem, the problem is that there are a few gray-headed people, and they are high-ranking and powerful.

Not to mention kneeling for a day, I am afraid that these fellows from hometown will pass out for a long time. In addition to the disadvantages, King Qin Zhuangxiang will become the object of ridicule from other countries.

Moreover, these ministers all hold key positions. If they kneel here one after another, King Qin Zhuangxiang will not be able to find anyone to work for a while, and the state of Qin will simply be in chaos, let alone at that time.

If he wins Zichu, he will become a prisoner of Qin.

"Okay, I agree with you." King Zhuangxiang of Qin said angrily, agreeing with Mrs. Huayang's statement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers hurriedly got up.

"Let's go, I'm sleepy." King Qin Zhuangxiang simply left, scolding those ministers all over the heart, the current state of Qin is still controlled by the Chu people, and Lu Buwei needs to work harder, otherwise, really It's too passive.

As soon as the news of the review came out, the entire Qin State was alarmed.

"Isn't Yingzheng the Prince of Qin? Why is there still an investigation?"

"I don't know, but with such a good opportunity, you must not miss Ding Tianjun's demeanor."

"That's right!"

In this way, most of the old Qin people with titles rushed to Xianyang as quickly as possible to enroll in the roster, hoping to get a glimpse of Ding Tianjun.When they arrived in Xianyang, they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw the grandeur of the capital.

At the beginning, Qin State was just a country driven away by Wei State, and it might be destroyed at any time, but today it has grown to such a state, which is really proud.

Above the school grounds,

"The time has come, Mr. Gang Cheng will take care of the princes, from the beginning..."

The minister of rites shouted loudly, and all the old Qin people calmed down, waiting for Gang Chengjun to reveal the next thing.

"This big exam is personally reviewed by the King of Qin. It is hoped that an advanced prince can be selected to become the new Prince of Qin. Except for the princes who did not have enough time to study due to military life, there are ten princes in each. A prince is included." Gang Chengjun revealed loudly that when he saw a handsome young man, he couldn't help but feel agitated, and understood that he was Ding Tianjun Yingzheng.

"You have three chances to answer the questions. If you can't answer the three questions in a row, you will be disqualified and dismissed from the arena. Next, you princes will be invited to enter the arena." Cai Ze said loudly while holding the letter.

The ten young princes were all dressed in black and held bronze swords. They all wore the same attire, but Yingzheng was the most special.When looking at him, there is a kind of emperor's air that other princes don't have.

"Princes, please take your seats!" Cai Ze shouted loudly, made a gesture of invitation, and continued, "Princes must state their names when they answer. If they cannot answer, the officials in charge of writing must Record their names."

"Clear!" The princes shouted in unison, and then sat on the seats, all with serious attitudes and incomparable integrity.

The old Qin people also waited a little bit, looking at the arrogance of the princes, it seemed that there was something extraordinary about them.But a few people with sophisticated eyes quickly recognized the features, and decided that except for Cheng Jiao, no one could compete with Ding Tianjun.

However, what he didn't know was that even Cheng Jiao couldn't compete with Ying Zheng.

"The first question: How many counties and counties are there in the Qin State? How many lands are there? How many gates are there?" Cai Ze said loudly.

After hearing this question, the old Qin people stared at it with wide eyes, and first began to study it in a low voice.

"Is this kind of question actually considered knowledge? It doesn't seem to matter if you know it or not!"

"Indeed, the old man has lived for so many years, and he only remembers a few of them. He really can't remember so many."

"For us, it's probably not knowledge, but for princes, it's something that needs to be kept in mind."

The princes were extremely quiet, as if no one came forward to answer, Cai Ze couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he saw this, "Could it be that no one can answer this question?"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao both wanted to stand up and reply, but they were overtaken by a chubby prince.

The fat prince blushed and said loudly: "How can such questions be regarded as knowledge, the elder father has asked them in the past."

"The king of Qin has already said that even the past problems can be discussed. Common sense doesn't matter whether you have paid attention to it or not. What is really necessary is the degree of tension. Of course, this question has been discussed, but for you princes, it is still a problem. Very nervous." Cai Ze argued and simply moved King Qin out.

"Okay!" The old Qin people shouted in unison, this Cai Ze really is Cao Dou, and he can argue like this.

"I won't." The fat prince whispered, almost crying, if he hadn't been strictly told not to be rude before leaving, he might have run off.

Seeing this situation, the old Qin people were a little disappointed that their prince turned out to be such a wimp.

"Cheng Jiao can answer the question about the territory, but as for the counties and counties, he can't remember clearly." Cheng Jiao immediately stood up, cupped his hands and saluted.

Cai Ze touched his beard and looked at Chengjiao with admiration. Although Chengjiao was collectively used by the Chu people, his talent was really good and he could still answer even when many princes couldn't.

Among the old Qin people, there were some who recognized Cheng Jiao's identity, and immediately praised him.

"I didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be able to answer."

"I really deserve to be the prince of our Great Qin."

"I just don't know what Ding Tianjun will do?"

"If no other prince can answer, then Cheng Jiao will answer." Cai Ze said loudly. It would be too embarrassing if he didn't answer.Now, the only choice is to let Cheng Jiao reply, even if it is only two points, it is a good choice.

If an outsider mentioned that these princes were only seven or eight-year-old children, and so on, they would not be too disrespectful.

However, Cai Ze couldn't help turning his eyes to Yingzheng. Could it be that this Ding Tianjun, who is so powerful in the Seven Kingdoms, can't answer?Is it true that as the crown prince and Taifu said, Yingzheng only knows how to accompany him all day long, and he has no eyes on his elders, criticizing him many times.

Thinking of this, Cai Ze couldn't help but feel dark for a while. He didn't believe that the famous Ying Zheng would do such a thing.

Sure enough, Ying Zheng stood up, bowed his hands and said, "Ying Zheng can answer these questions."

"Good!" Seeing their Ding Tianjun standing up, the old Qin people shouted their compliments one after another, and they were sincerely proud of this Ding Tianjun.

Seeing this, Cheng Jiao couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous. He didn't expect Ying Zheng's prestige among the old Qin people to be so high.

"Do you know the names of the fifteen counties?" Cai Ze couldn't help but feel happy.

"The fifteen counties are: Neishi County, Beidi County, Shang County, Jiuyuan County, Longxi County, Sanchuan County, Hanoi County, Hedong County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Shangyu County, Shu County, Ba County, Nan County , Dongjun. The three counties of 310 are..." Ying Zheng said unhurriedly, looking at everyone at the same level, without the slightest nervousness on his expression.

"Wait a minute!" Cai Ze slapped the case in surprise. He has now changed his name to Ying Zheng as prince, "Can the prince remember more than [-] counties?"

"It's almost the same."

"Okay! You only need to answer all the county names in the entire Neishi County, and you will pass this question!"

"25 counties in Neishi County, counting from the west: Jixian, Chencang, Yongxian, Guoxian, Meixian, Qixian, Meiyang, Yanxian, Haojun, Yunyang, Duxian, Gaoling, Pinyang, Zhiyang , Yueyang, Liyi, Lantian, Shanggui, Zhengxian, Pingshu, Xiagui, Xiayang, Danyang, Taolin, Hangu. 25 counties completed."

The old Qin people were all filled with joy, as if they answered this question themselves, shouting compliments for their Ding Tianjun.

Cai Ze inspected the panicked princes and asked with a smile, "Is there anyone who can repeat it?"

Seeing the princes bowing their heads one after another, they nodded silently, "The first test, Prince Zhao Zheng overwhelms all!"

"Okay!" The old Qin people finally roared.
