Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 218 Zhao Ji
Qin Wang Zheng had a son.
There is no longer any reason that can stop him from taking power personally.

Or,

He finally stopped hiding behind the scenes and watching his relatives and prime minister fighting each other, but stood up and took control of the invincible sword himself.

Zhao Ji was very dissatisfied with this.

In addition to the fact that her son had a son, which raised her generation, and reminded Zhao Ji of her aging and her fading beauty,
Zhao Ji was even more unhappy, because the King of Qin would justifiably take away power from her.

Anyway, in Zhao Ji's eyes,
The power has always been in your hands and should be yours.

If it was three years ago,

Zhao Ji may not have had much reaction to this.

but now,
She couldn't tolerate this happening!

Because she has more things to protect and cherish, rather than Ying Zheng’s eldest son who brought her endless pain since his birth!
"You are the child's mother. We, father and son, are relying on you!"

Lao Ai was holding a child in his arms, and at the same time he did not forget to hold Zhao Ji, who was pregnant again, in his arms.

Zhao Ji now,

I'm almost forty years old.

But with Lao Ai's extraordinary talent,
At her age, she still gave birth to two children for him.

Although she was old, Zhao Ji was able to conceive and give birth smoothly without suffering too much pain or injury.

This made her already limited brain more convinced:
Ying Zheng was born to torture himself!

It was clearly still childbirth, but it was Lao Ai's offspring, and it didn't hurt at all!

It means hanging out with people, and when you are pregnant, you need to avoid people.

When Zhao Ji thought about her secret relationship with her lover over the past few years, she felt very distressed for Lao Ai.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

She stroked Lao Ai's handsome face and felt that this man had given so much for her. He was much more sincere than Ying Zichu who threw herself in Handan for power!

What man in the world,

Are you willing to pluck out your beard and disguise yourself as a eunuch just to stay by my side?
Therefore,
To make up for this sincerity,

Zhao Ji was willing to bear a child for him.
He was willing to find all kinds of reasons to live in a palace outside the city of Xianyang, just to make himself and Lao Ai's lives easier and more open.

At least in the palace outside the city,
She is the absolute master here.
She had the right to live with Lao Ai as a couple.

"For you, everything I do is worth it!"

Lao Ai excitedly held her hand and uttered countless love words to Zhao Ji.

The two-year-old child didn't understand anything and just giggled at his parents.

For a while,
The family of three is full of happiness.

And a month later,
This little family that is unknown to the public is going to have one more person.

For this,

Lu Buwei, who knew the secret and could even be regarded as the "instigator", was just sweating and anxious at home.

"idiot!"

"How can there be such an idiot in the world!"

How pitiful God is,

When Lu Buwei sent Lao Ai in to entertain Zhao Ji, he really just wanted to appease this woman and prevent her from using her amazing wisdom recklessly!
In today’s world,

There is nothing wrong with a nobleman keeping some male lovers.

The Queen Mother Xuan had

Madam Huayang had,

It wouldn’t be a big problem if a few Zhao Jis came.

Even the fact that she bore a child for Lao Ai was not a big problem because there was the example of Queen Dowager Xuan.

The issue is,
Zhao Ji’s favor for Lao Ai was really too much!
At the beginning of the year,
Zhao Ji insisted that the King of Qin confer the title of Marquis of Changxin on Lao Ai, who had not made any military achievements, and grant him a fiefdom.

The King of Qin agreed.

then,

Lao Ai happily built a palace on his own fiefdom, called it a "country", enjoyed the treatment of a prince, and recruited many retainers.

For this,

The King of Qin pretended not to know.

He is a very filial child.
He had always let his mother go. But his mother was obsessed with "true love" and her child was about to be born. How could the King of Qin not stand up and support the family?
Since last year,

That is when the queen announced her pregnancy.
The King of Qin began to spread his wings and show his edge.

He gained the loyalty of the Meng family and the support of many nobles who had accumulated a lot of wealth and power through the Western Trade Route.

Meng Ao of the Montessori School,
He was originally from Qi, but fled to Qin during the reign of King Zhao and became a senior minister.

Meng Ao's son Meng Wu came to Qin with his father and asked Wu'an Jun for advice on military strategies and tactics, so he had a connection with the black households.

As for the relationship between Hei and the King of Qin,

Needless to say!

With the help of the black households, King Zheng of Qin secretly won them over a few years after he ascended the throne.

The King of Qin knew better than anyone else.
The source of power lies in violence!

As long as he controlled the army, he could control the Qin State, which was founded on agriculture and warfare.

Therefore, he did not care about Lu Buwei and Lao Ai's frantic recruitment of retainers, and even allowed them to do so in order to consume the stubborn and conservative forces within Qin and facilitate his future governance.

Lü Buwei responded to this.
Although I don't know much about him, I know that the King of Qin is actually a very intelligent person.

You are strong,
When you are strong, there will be changes!

So in the past few years,
Lu Buwei did not cling to power, but secretly transferred it back to the hands of the King of Qin, and immersed himself in recruiting followers and writing books.

In fear for life,

Lu Buwei, a shrewd businessman, decisively chose to give up power.

But he still didn't want to give up other things.

In this world,
In the minds of the gentlemen of the Xia Dynasty,
The best pursuit of man,

It should be "leave a name in history"!
But once you lose power, how can you preserve your status and reputation?

Write a book!

Write a book hard!
To this end, Lu Buwei even spent all his family wealth to show his love for writing.

"Lüshi Chunqiu" was quickly formed during this period.

Lu Buwei also felt that

I have no money.
No power,
I have already set my attitude right.

With his contributions in assisting the previous king, there will be absolutely no problem for him to have a decent retirement.

result,

Zhao Ji found "true love" in playing with men.
Lao Ai was praised so highly that the situation got out of control.

Lu Buwei heard that the envoys of the Three Jins had been contacting Lao Ai in private, hoping to influence the state of Qin by bribing him, the "upstart" of Qin.

Lao Ai accepted all offers of money and was happy to collect them.

At this time,
The eldest son of the King of Qin was born.

What kind of changes can a child bring to a country?

for men,

The birth of his own bloodline means that he has become a father, which means that he must take on greater responsibilities and provide an excellent growth environment for his offspring.

Even if you have many children, some of them you love and some you don't, you still have to do this.

After all, many people naturally think:
I have worked so hard for so long,
How can you not let your descendants inherit your position?
For a country,
If a monarch can give birth to offspring, it means that he is in good health, which is a great guarantee for the stability of the ancestral temple and the country.

Those who originally supported the monarch will support him even more.

Those who were originally wavering will also turn to him.

When the cry of Prince Fusu's birth rang out in the Xianyang Palace, many things changed.

Lü Buwei knew:
The King of Qin's future actions will surely become more urgent.

But Zhao Ji,

But Lao Ai!

This is Lu Buwei's stain!
Who would have known that Zhao Ji, who even despised Ying Zichu, would fall in love with a lowly guy who came from a common family and even performed on the street?

No,

This woman must have been stabbed in the brain and gone crazy!
Lü Buwei thought with hatred,

Then he could only force himself to think about what actions he should take to sever ties with this "couple" and show his loyalty to the King of Qin.
