Chapter 15 Section 5 From Merchant to Prime Minister

Let's say that a different person has Zhao Ji, who loves Zhao Ji day by day and is lucky by night, and loves his family very much.Zhao Ji became pregnant soon, and after ten months, a baby boy was born.The stranger was overjoyed, and named the baby boy Yingzheng, and made Zhao Ji his wife. Being robbed of his love by a foreigner, Lu Buwei naturally felt humiliated in his heart. However, a little intolerance will lead to chaos and big plans. For the sake of power and wealth in the future, Lu Buwei endured it. never happened. When Yingzheng was three years old, Yiren's grandfather, King Qin Zhao, sent General Wang Ji to attack the State of Zhao.Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops went all the way to the city of Handan.Once the capital Handan is broken, it means the demise of Zhao State.The king of Zhao was terrified and wanted to kill another person in order to avenge the state of Qin.Fortunately, Lu Buwei had a lot of friends, got this information in advance, and hurriedly negotiated with others to escape.In the midst of chaos, Yiren lost his mind and let Lu Buwei make arrangements.

Time was running out, and Lu Buwei didn't care about the lives of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, so he disguised himself with a different person and came to the west gate of Handan overnight.As long as they can get out of the city, the Qin army is under the city, which is enough to save their lives.The gatekeeper dismissed the request of the two to leave the city. Unless there was a warrant from King Zhao, even a bird would not be able to fly out of the city. To be or not to be depends only on the distance of a door. To deal with the stubborn gatekeepers, Lu Buwei only used one weapon, and it was also the most effective weapon-money!

How much did Lu Buwei pay for the road?Six hundred catties of gold! You know, Lu Buwei paid tribute to Mrs. Huayang only five hundred catties of gold.Is it necessary to spend so much money on a mere gatekeeper?As everyone knows, this is exactly Lu Buwei's usual style. If you don't make a move, it's fine. Once you make a move, you can't refuse it. You are only allowed to say that you don't know money, but you are not allowed to say that you don't want it. So the gatekeeper opened the door, and Lu Buwei and Yiren escaped.As soon as the two entered the Qin camp, Wang Ji saw that they were Wang Sunyi, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he immediately sent troops to escort them back to Xianyang.After returning to Xianyang, Yiren went to meet his father An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang.Lu Buwei knew that Mrs. Huayang was from Chu, so he specially asked the stranger to wear Chu costumes to please Mrs. Huayang.It worked.

Although Mrs. Huayang has established Yiren as her direct heir, this is the first time she has seen Yiren himself.At first sight, she saw that the stranger was handsome and dressed in the clothes of her home country, so she was overjoyed, and ordered the stranger to change her name to Zichu to show her favor. (In order to unify the writing, it will still be called Yiren in the future.) With Mrs. Huayang's favor, Yiren's status in the Qin royal family has been completely established. All he has to do now is to wait.When his grandfather King Qin Zhao dies, and then his father An Guojun dies, then the throne of King Qin will be his.

Besides, the escape of Lu Buwei and Yiren made it difficult for the mother and son Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng.When Lu Buwei and Yiren were enjoying the wealth and honor in Xianyang, the mother and son had to hide in Tibet all day long, depending on each other, for fear of being arrested and beheaded by Zhao Guo.During the period, there were many miserable pains, which cannot be listed in detail. Later, Lord Xinling, the son of the Wei State, stole the talisman to rescue Zhao, and defeated the Qin army at the city of Handan. Wang Yu was defeated and withdrew to the Qin State.As the relationship between Qin and Zhao gradually eased, the situation of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng gradually improved.Although Zhao Guo no longer had the idea of ​​killing them, he still took them as hostages and took care of them.

At that time, Prince Dan of Yan State was also a hostage in Zhao State.Prince Dan and Ying Zheng are about the same age, and the two children often play together.One day, the two children had an argument, and Prince Dan laughed at Ying Zheng as a bastard in a panic.Ying Zheng burst into tears, and asked his mother, Zhao Ji, if he was a descendant of the Ying family. Poor Zhao Ji was abandoned by two men one after another. If it wasn't for Ying Zheng, she wouldn't be as strong as she is now.Zhao Ji ordered Yingzheng to kneel down, and said sharply, "You are only allowed to ask this question once, and Grandmother will only answer this once. You are a descendant of the Ying family, of royal blood. One day, you will become the king of Qin." "Ying Zheng's eyes flickered, and he said, "When I become the King of Qin, I will definitely kill all the Zhao people who bullied my mother." Zhao Ji thought that what Ying Zheng said was just a child's angry words, but even so, she Still greatly moved, bowed his head and shed tears.

Ying Zheng asked again, Yan Dan said that his father will take him back to Jicheng in three years, when will Father come to take us back to Xianyang?Zhao Ji held Xiao Yingzheng in her arms, smiled sadly, and murmured, "It will come, it will come soon." However, this wait is six years.When Yingzheng was nine years old, King Qin Zhao, who had reigned for fifty-six years, finally passed away. Prince An Guojun finally made it through and sat on the throne of King Qin as King Xiaowen. Mrs. Huayang became the queen. , the foreigner also naturally became the prince. In view of the fact that Yiren has become the successor of Qin State, in order to build a good relationship with the future King Qin, Zhao Guo is also happy to make a favor and send Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng back to Qin State to reunite their family.

An Guojun had just finished his enthronement ceremony, and two days later he suddenly cried out.A different person succeeded to the throne as King Zhuang Xiang, respected Mrs. Huayang as Queen Mother Huayang, and his biological mother Xia Ji as Queen Mother Xia. Lu Buwei also ascended to the sky in one step, and became the prime minister of Qin State under one person and above ten thousand people. Marquis Wenxin lived in Luoyang, Henan Province, with 100,000 households.The state power of the Qin State is in the hands of Lu Buwei alone.
