The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

Chapter 4 Beauty, Power and Tragedy 4

The animation is very interesting. Emperors of various dynasties couldn't help but smile when they saw it. Even the future scapegoat, little Zhao Zheng, couldn't help laughing.

But then, the voiceover sounded again:

【Since the term "burning books and burying scholars" came into being, it has become the most intolerable thing for scholars in the Central Plains where the teachings of Confucius and Mencius have been prevalent for nearly two thousand years.】
[So, how could His Majesty the First Emperor not be scolded, and how could he not be pulled out and set up as a negative example? ]

[The voice of scholars all over the world: You see, Emperor Ren Shi Huangdi had so many great achievements, but because he did not respect scholars, he ended up dying in the second generation. ]
[You other emperors who unified the world should be careful. Don't learn from Qin Shi Huang, or you will also perish in the second generation. ]

[Now it seems that this is a PUA curse that has lasted for generations, and the targets of PUA are emperors of all dynasties. ]
[Because they have to believe it even if they don’t believe it, and even have to praise it even more. At this time, the truth or falsehood is actually not important. The most important thing is whether it can shock the court and the emperor and the people. ]
【For example, Zhu Chongba, who rose to power in a peasant uprising, was a peasant uprising leader, but he insisted on recognizing the Neo-Confucian master Zhu Xi as his ancestor. Isn't this the reason?】

"Bullshit!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the tea bowl in his hand. His original mood for watching the show was completely gone, and his beard began to tremble.
"Zhu Xi is a piece of shit! I am the emperor, how dare any filthy thing ride on my head and shit? How dare you be so frivolous! Where is my knife, where is my knife! I will cut them open and see what color their hearts are! Is it black or not!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be calm." Seeing that the situation was not good, Empress Ma hurriedly tried to comfort him and gave Zhu Biao a wink.

Zhu Biao understood and immediately advised: "Sons are the emperor's sons, and the people are also the emperor's people. The whole world knows this. Compared with the people, what are scholars? If it weren't for the emperor, the people would not even recognize those two words. But the word 'Son of Heaven' has long been engraved in their hearts."

As soon as Zhu Biao opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger subsided by half. By the time he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already sat down again, but his chest was still heaving.
After the palace servants replaced the dishes for him, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the scroll in the air and sneered, "Biao'er is right. Pass the order to dismiss the person who proposed this and confiscate his property as a warning to others. I wonder if there is anyone else who is so desperate that he wants me to betray my ancestors and flatter the stinky feet of pedantic scholars."

[Ahem, this seems to have gone a bit off topic. Let’s get back to the main topic and continue talking about what happened after Zhao Zheng returned to Qin.]

The camera turned and continued to shoot in the palace. Against the antique background, Lei Xiaomeng's voice sounded again.

[Ganquan Palace was the palace where the Queen Mother of Qin lived. Before that, after Ying Yiren came to power, Zhao Ji lived with Ying Yiren in Zhangtai Palace.]
[However, she lived in Zhangtai Palace for only three years before Ying Yiren passed away, and Zhao Zheng inherited the throne and became King Zheng of Qin. Now, let's go to the side hall at the back. It is said that it was once used as Zhao Ji's bedroom in a certain TV series. ]

[I want to point out that the Qin Palace built in the film and television city only replicates the Xianyang Palace, but many shots involving the Ganquan Palace and the Zhangtai Palace were also shot here. Many times, just changing the name on the computer will make everything OK.]

Ying Yiren, who was looking at the Heavenly Scroll, said: …

[When King Zheng of Qin ascended the throne, he was only thirteen years old and was not yet able to rule the country, so Zhao Ji's power was unprecedentedly expanded. Together with Lü Buwei, who was entrusted by Ying Yiren to take care of the orphan, she controlled all government affairs inside and outside the Qin Dynasty.]

【Speaking of this, Xiao Meng would like to interject again. It seems that Ying Yiren’s trust in Lu Buwei is unprecedented.】
[Even with the previous suspicions and rumors, he was still able to entrust his wife, son and even the country to Lü Buwei. This is indeed true love. ]
【So, Lü Buwei's deal this time can be said to be a huge profit. 】

[But, but, but... no matter how close the relationship between the ruler and his subjects is, how can it be closer than blood relatives? ]
[Although the King of Qin is young, if Zhao Ji and the King are on the same page, and if other members of the Qin royal family who are eyeing the situation add fuel to the fire, wouldn't Lü Buwei's position be in danger?]
【Think about Lü Buwei's predecessor, Shang Yang. Wasn't he torn to pieces by Qin Huiwen, the son of King Qin, after the death of King Qin Xiaogong, who trusted him? 】

【Lv Buwei had to take precautions against the rainy days.】
[The only feasible way at present is to alienate the relationship between Qin Wang Zheng and Zhao Ji, and alienate the relationship between them and the royal family. Only by doing this can Lu Buwei take advantage of the situation and make himself invincible. ]

[However, how to do this? So, as we thought before, Zhao Ji's weakness as an ordinary woman became an important handle for Lu Buwei to achieve his goal. ]

The camera turned again, as if entering the woman's boudoir, which was elegant and luxurious everywhere.

[The customs of the pre-Qin period were open, and even the queen mother of a country could remarry. For example, the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Queen Mother Mi, married the Lord of Yiqiu.]

After saying this, a clip of a TV series was inserted into the screen. [But Queen Mother Mi is not an ordinary person. Not only did she dare to marry Yiqiu Jun, but after she found out that Yiqiu Jun had ulterior motives, she was able to make a decisive decision and set up a plan to get rid of him.]
[But even so, there was still a rift between her and King Zhaoxiang of Qin. ]

[Zhao Ji was just an ordinary woman. Although she had suffered some hardships, it was only due to the circumstances. Even if she reached a high position, she was still like a dodder flower, hoping for someone to take care of her.]
[So at this time, the most notorious lecher in history, Lao Ai, was sent to Zhao Ji by Lü Buwei. ]

[I do not deny Lü Buwei's wisdom and achievements, nor do I deny his ability, but his actions have been proven by history to be a big mistake.]
【Let’s first look at what the history books say. 】

As a bamboo slip in the scroll slowly unfolded, several passages slowly appeared in the "Heavenly Scroll":

【Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Lü Buwei: Lü Buwei promoted Lao Ai and falsely had someone report him for corruption. Buwei also secretly told the Queen Mother: "If you can fake corruption, you can become a member of the Imperial Censorate." The Queen Mother secretly gave generous gifts to the official who was responsible for corruption, falsely accused him, and plucked his beard and eyebrows to become a eunuch, so that he could serve the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother secretly had an affair with him and lost all love for him. She became pregnant, and the Queen Mother was afraid that people would know about it, so she falsely predicted that it was time to retreat and moved to Yong Palace.】

[Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Lü Buwei: In the ninth year of the First Emperor, someone reported that Lao Ai was not actually a eunuch, and that he had been having affairs with the Queen Mother, and had two sons, both of whom he kept secret. He and the Queen Mother planned to "make the son the Queen when the King dies." The King of Qin then sent officials to investigate, and the truth was revealed, and the matter was implicated to the Prime Minister Lü Buwei.]

As an emotionless male voice read these two sentences, Ying Yiren felt a sense of lushness above his head.
He looked coldly at Lu Buwei, who was discussing with him the return of Zhao Ji and her son to Xianyang.
Lü Buwei felt a chill on the back of his neck, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Sir, the words in this demon scroll cannot be trusted. Someone must have framed me. Please judge for yourself."

Ying Yiren suppressed his discomfort and said coldly, "Qin law is strict, but it never punishes innocent people. For now, we should send someone to bring Zhao Ji and her son back as soon as possible."
At this point, he glanced at the main hall door again and frowned, "Father may not be able to hold on for a few more days. Zheng'er should come back earlier so that he can see grandfather again."
"Yes, sir, don't worry. Even if I risk my life this time, I will personally bring my wife and the prince back to Qin." Lu Buwei said gritting his teeth.

At this point he had no way out. Although the contents displayed in this "Heavenly Scroll" had not yet happened and could not be fully trusted, if they were used by someone with ulterior motives, he would have no way out.
Now the only way for him to save his life and avoid losing all his money is by staying with Ying Yiren.
As for what will happen in the future, we can only take it one step at a time. After all, the most important thing right now is to save our lives.
There was also the man named Lao Ai, he always felt that this name sounded familiar. Although Ying Yiren did not mention this person at all, as a minister, some things did not need to be said explicitly, he should also know what he should do.

As soon as Lü Buwei left, Lady Huayang sent someone to invite Ying Yiren to come over. Since his father Ying Zhu had not yet officially ascended the throne, Lady Huayang could not be honored as queen, but she had moved to Zhangtai Palace with King Xiaowen and took charge of all matters related to the queen.

On the way to the Queen's Palace, the original female voice in the "Heavenly Scroll" sounded again.

[Yes, this is what is recorded in history books. It can be said to be a very true historical fact.]
[That is to say, Qin Wang Zheng's most trusted Zhongfu Lü Buwei found a fake eunuch Lao Ai for his mother, the current Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also gave birth to two children with this fake eunuch.]
[Not only was this fake eunuch granted the title of Marquis of Changxin, he even wanted to rebel and have his son become the King of Qin to replace King Zheng of Qin.]

Ying Yiren stumbled while walking on the road, his face turned pale. It was fine if he had read the history books, but now he was speaking them out so blatantly, was he afraid that others would not understand what was in the book?
He gritted his teeth secretly, and for a moment he wished he could call back Lu Buwei immediately and execute him by being torn apart by a chariot.
Finally reason stopped him, and he arrived at the door of the Queen's Palace.

At this moment, a female voice was heard in the air:

[Hey, you are really bold, you even set your sights on our Zulong Emperor. ]
[How did our young emperor respond? ]
[Hehe, although it is not as exciting as Kangxi's capture of Oboi, our Emperor Zulong was no pushover, otherwise how could he have unified the world? ]

[To know what happens next, please listen to the next episode! ]

[The like and comment function has been opened. Welcome everyone to leave a message. You can also raise any opinions. Xiao Meng will definitely work hard to improve it so that everyone can see and hear a different young Qin Shi Huang. 】
【See you in the next episode! 】

Is this the end?
For some reason, Ying Yiren suddenly felt relieved.
At this time, a maid came to lead him: "Madam has been waiting for a long time, young master, please hurry up!"
Ying Yiren immediately perked up and stepped over the threshold of the Queen's Palace.
