The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[In the last episode, we talked about how Lü Buwei presented the eunuch Lao Ai to Zhao Ji in order to alienate the relationship between Zhao Ji and the King of Qin and the royal family.]
[This tactic of sowing discord was successful, because after having Lao Ai, Zhao Ji no longer cared about state affairs, and was no longer so attentive to her son. She even abandoned Qin Wang Zheng and ran away with Lao Ai to the Juyong Palace in the suburbs to live a "small life" behind closed doors.]
【And Lu Buwei also took the opportunity to take control of the power and became the person who had the final say in the court. 】

[Lü Buwei was indeed very talented and handled government affairs in an orderly manner, but no matter how capable he was, he was only a prime minister, and sooner or later the power would have to be returned to the true master of the Qin Dynasty.]
[But the taste of power is too delicious. Once you reach the peak of power, who would be willing to step down? So he began to make things difficult for the King of Qin to rule the country.]

[As for Zhao Ji, although she didn't care about the King of Qin ruling the country personally, there was someone who cared about it, and that was her bedmate Lao Ai. So he also whispered in Zhao Ji's ear. ]
[Therefore, the two closest people to the King of Qin became the biggest obstacles to his personal rule.]

At this moment, a silhouette of a little black man wearing a crown appeared on the scroll, and below the silhouette, on the left and right there were the silhouettes of a little man wearing a prime minister's hat and a woman in palace dress.
The two little men, one on each side, tightly grasped the hands of the black little man's silhouette, preventing him from breaking free, and it was obvious that they were restraining him.

King Xiaowen of Qin was in good spirits today. He even stood up and ate a little more breakfast.
Although the matter of the Heavenly Scroll occurred when he was in an intermittent coma, Madam Huayang also mentioned the relevant contents of the Heavenly Scroll to him when he was conscious.
Of course, it is selective. For example, the story of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world is briefly mentioned, and the focus is on the story of Zhao Ji.

However, the Heavenly Scroll was not seen by Lady Huayang alone. He also heard about Qin Shi Huang's actions from other palace servants. How could he not be excited?
However, no matter how excited he was, he decided to wait until he met his Zheng'er before deciding what to do.
However, the grandfather and grandson had just met and had not said a few words when the Heavenly Scroll was unfolded again, and these words were heard.

While the animated image was appearing, Ying Zhu looked at his children and grandchildren and found that Ying Yiren looked nervous, but his grandson still looked calm. Ying Zhu was curious and asked, "Zheng'er, the Qin King Zheng mentioned in the scroll is you."
Zhao Zheng remained calm: "My grandson doesn't know."
"I don't know?" Ying Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then who are Lü Buwei and Zhao Ji talking about? You don't know either?"

Zhao Zheng said solemnly, "I only know that my mother and I suffered a lot in Handan, and were insulted by the people of Zhao, and even implicated her relatives in Handan; I only know that my mother raised me since I was a child, protected me well, and tried every means to protect me from the murderous hands of the people of Zhao; I also know that my mother was looking forward to reuniting with my father and returning to our hometown of Daqin."

At this point, he paused and continued: "As for Lü Buwei, I know that he helped my father return to the Qin Dynasty and to my grandfather, and he has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty."
"As for me, I am only my father's son and my grandfather's grandson. I am the grandson of the King of Qin. In order to make my Qin unified and last for thousands of generations, I can do anything."

"As for the rest." After saying this, Zhao Zheng paused and bowed respectfully to King Xiaowen of Qin. "My grandson really doesn't know what Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei will look like in a few years, and I don't even know what I will look like. Since it didn't happen, why should I let my delusional heart bind myself?"

Zhao Zheng's answer was perfect. Even Ying Yiren, who had been frowning just now, breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed a little.
However, although Ying Zhu was satisfied with Zhao Zheng's answer, he did not seem to want to let it go. Instead, he twisted his beard, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "What you said makes some sense, but I still want to test you. If you really encounter the situation described in the heavenly scroll, what will you do?"

As soon as Ying Zhu finished asking the question, the black man in the scroll disappeared, and the woman's voice sounded again. The conversation was interrupted, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren looked at the scroll again.

[Lao Ai was just a servant of Lu Buwei in his early years. If there was any merit, it was that he served as their driver when they took Ying Yiren back to Qin State, and he made some contributions when they shook off the pursuing soldiers of Zhao State.]
[But, no matter what, he was just a driver, or to put it bluntly, a rickshaw driver. Such a person, once he gained power, actually hooked up with the queen mother of the time and even let her bear two children for him. It can be said that he was already extremely arrogant.]

[He was no longer satisfied with being the Queen Mother's secret lover, and wanted to stand in the front and in the sun.]
[So he began to cultivate his own confidants, and even asked the Queen Mother to confer him the title of Marquis of Changxin. Relying on the Queen Mother, he did all kinds of bad things, and even had the potential to compete with Lu Buwei.]
[Not only that, he no longer respected the royal family and nobles of the Qin Dynasty. When he went out, he was even more extravagant than many nobles, and he had more than a thousand servants under his command.]

【As the saying goes, if you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy. Lao Ai, a eunuch, was so arrogant that he must have offended many people. Therefore, his relationship with the queen mother could no longer be concealed, and soon someone told King Zheng of Qin about the two of them.】
[If you were Qin Wangzheng, what would you do? ]

As some film and television materials were cut into the Tianjuan, several images of Lao Ai appeared in the Tianjuan, and words and dialogues expressing Lao Ai's arrogance were also intercepted.
Bullying men and women, whipping the empress dowager, humiliating royal family members, and even making the arrogant statement that "when the king dies, his son will be the queen", were all portrayed in the lines.
As a result, even Ying Yiren's chest began to rise and fall rapidly in anger.
Ying Zhu narrowed his eyes, slowly shifted his gaze from Tian Juan to his grandson, and looked at him quietly: "What do you think?"
He actually combined the question raised by the Heavenly Scroll with the question he had just asked.
Ying Yiren's heart, which had been half relieved, rose to his throat again, and he looked at his son nervously. Zhao Zheng did not seem to be affected by the content of the heavenly scroll, and he had already answered Ying Zhu's question, so he said: "If my grandson encountered this situation, he would neither kill them all indiscriminately nor let them cause trouble for the sake of gratitude. The first thing my grandson would do is to take back the kingship..."
"But what if they don't want to?" Ying Zhu asked again.
"Then divide and conquer." Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed. "Since there are three forces, they will always need me. I can take this opportunity to make them give up their power."

Before Ying Zhu could reply whether Zhao Zheng's answer was correct, the film and television materials in the Heavenly Scroll had finished playing, and Lei Xiaomeng's voice sounded again.

[If it were me, I would rush to Juyong Palace to question Zhao Ji as soon as I heard the news, and then secretly execute Lao Ai before the situation escalated further.]
[But I can only say that this is the worst way to deal with this matter. ]
[King Zheng of Qin was not an ordinary person. Although he was also sad and felt betrayed by his loved ones, he calmed down immediately and analyzed the pros and cons of the matter thoroughly.]

[At present, his most important task is to rule the country first. If he cannot rule the country, he will not be able to mobilize the army smoothly, and he will be restricted in doing anything. ]
【So, he suppressed his anger and made a plan. 】

Hearing this, Ying Zhu nodded slightly and looked at Zhao Zheng, but saw that he swallowed the words he was about to say. He also looked at Tian Juan, but he was frowning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiaomeng's voice sounded again.

What was King Zheng's plan? First, he pretended not to know about the relationship between Lao Ai and Zhao Ji, but secretly contacted the Qin royal family and instigated discord between Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, letting them confront each other and expose each other's shortcomings.
[He took advantage of this opportunity to gradually seize power in the struggle between the two, and deliberately provoked Lao Ai to do something even crazier, even wanting to rebel.]

[However, when Lao Ai and his servants set up an ambush and wanted to assassinate Qin Wang Zheng during his coming-of-age ceremony, he was captured by the soldiers brought by Qin Wang Zheng instead.]
[Not only that, he also interrogated Lao Ai on the spot and let Lu Buwei watch, publicly announcing the sinister intentions of Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. Not only did he completely expose Lao Ai's ambitions, but he also publicly hit Lu Buwei's arrogance and prestige. ]

[So, Lü Buwei was so ashamed that he resigned from his position as prime minister on the spot and was imprisoned.]
【Lao Ai, who overestimated his own capabilities, was sentenced to being torn apart by chariots. The two sons he had with Zhao Ji were executed by the King of Qin. Zhao Ji was placed under house arrest by King Zheng of Qin in an abandoned palace outside Xianyang until her death.】

As the voice was spoken, the camera gradually pulled away from a dark and gloomy palace room and expanded to the panoramic view of the entire Xianyang Palace. The setting sun shone on the eaves of the Xianyang Palace gate like blood, like a sigh from across the air.

Ying Zhu naturally didn't pay much attention to the rendering techniques of the camera, but smiled slightly and asked Zhao Zheng again: "Zheng'er, is this your plan?"
Zhao Zheng was lost in thought, but he came to his senses immediately after hearing his grandfather's words: "The laws of our Great Qin never punish innocent people. Since we are going to punish them, we must also announce their crimes to the world so that we can punish them according to the law. This will convince the people and their relatives."

"It seems that you have not wasted these years in Handan, and you are very familiar with the laws of our Great Qin." Ying Zhu nodded.
"My mother asked me to read these books," Zhao Zheng said immediately. "My mother said that I would come back to assist my grandfather and father. Learning more about the laws of the Qin Dynasty will be useful sooner or later.

When he mentioned Zhao Ji, Ying Zhu's eyes flickered: "Your mother also returned to Qin with you, why didn't she come to see me?"
Ying Zhu asked the question even though he knew the answer, just to see how Zhao Zheng would answer.
