I am not a seventh-generation descendant of Lord Wu'an from the Qin Dynasty.

"Bai Qizi, what are your thoughts on the past events concerning Lord Wu'an and King Zhaoxiang of Qin?"

"It finally came."

From the moment Bai Qi claimed the mantle of Lord Wu'an, he had been thinking about this fatal problem.

Who was right and who was wrong in the death of Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi?

The people of Qin all believed that "Bai Qi died unjustly," and they all felt sorry for him and deeply missed him.

According to later generations, it was simply that King Zhaoxiang of Qin was suspicious and no one could control him.

However, from the perspective of the King of Qin, especially from the viewpoint of King Zheng of Qin, the King of Qin could not be wrong.

Even if the current King Zheng of Qin cannot understand it, the future Qin Shi Huang will surely understand it.

But Qin Shi Huang didn't live long!

This is a deadlock that is bound to explode in the future, and he absolutely cannot agree to it.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

Under the intense gaze of the white-robed King Zheng of Qin, Bai Qi remained expressionless and lowered his head.

"A lovelorn man who can't forget his beloved, a resentful woman who can't have him."

"What the hell?"

King Zheng of Qin originally intended to wait for him to praise his elders, and then go with the flow.

This demonstrates that he will learn from the lessons of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and will appoint Bai Qi, who has already shown the qualities of a supreme general, as a general in the future, so as to achieve mutual trust between the ruler and his ministers.

But is she the white moonlight? A lovesick fool? A resentful woman?

King Zheng of Qin's pupils shifted, and he said in a deep voice, "Bai Qizi is referring to Marquis Rang, Wei Ran."

Bai Qi's voice was calm: "In the 14th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Wei Ran overruled the objections of others and appointed Bai Qi as general."

"In the Battle of Yique, Bai Qi led his army to behead 240,000 soldiers of the combined forces of Han and Wei, and captured the Wei general Gongsun happy."

"He rose to fame after this battle, and was ultimately granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an for his outstanding achievements!"

"Wei Ran was a native of Chu, but during this period, Bai Qi, as a general, led troops to attack Chu three times."

"In the Battle of Yan and Ying, the city was attacked with water, the Chu king's tomb was burned, and hundreds of thousands of Chu people were drowned."

Even so, Wei Ran still highly valued Bai Qi as a general! He treated him as always, like a cherished memory!

King Zheng of Qin fell silent, his mind churning with the secret files of the royal family in the Qin royal treasury.

In the 40th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Prince Shi was assassinated by King Zhaoxiang's assassins in the State of Wei.

In the 41st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin appointed Fan Ju as prime minister and enfeoffed him as Marquis Ying.

In the same year, he drove out the four nobles of Chu, and the following year, Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin passed away.

In September of the same year, Wei Ran died of grief in Tao Yi.

Two years later, Gongzi Kui, one of the four nobles, was killed.

In November of the 50th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin's reign, Qin's attack on Handan failed, and King Zhaoxiang took his anger out on Bai Qi.

Bai Qi, "who was resentful and had much to say," was given a sword by an envoy and ordered to commit suicide.

Even from Ying Zheng's perspective as the King of Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin seemed like a power-hungry, resentful woman in the deep palace, who had lost all sense of family.

When King Zhaoxiang of Qin expelled the four nobles of Chu, even Queen Dowager Xuan of Qin and Lord Wu'an of Qin, whom he regarded as fierce tigers, did not take any action.

But he couldn't think that way, because that was his great-grandfather. Without his series of centralized actions back then, there would be no Qin King's great-grandson, Zheng.

Bai Qi's voice remained unchanged. "On the contrary, King Zhaoxiang of Qin treated Bai Qi differently."

"Use the Marquis of Wu'an when needed, and don't offend the traitor!"

King Zheng of Qin's face darkened, but deep down he couldn't help but admit that this was truly a damn good image.

"Lord Wu'an was a soldier of the Qin state. Marquis Rang appointed him as a general, which means that the Qin state appointed him as a general."

"We will win every battle, conquer every city, be invincible, and break through all who stand in our way! There are royal orders, and there are also personal feelings."

"But when King Zhaoxiang of Qin appointed him as a general, the situation changed."

King Zhaoxiang of Qin said, "Bai Qi, Changping was a territory that Han offered to Qin, but now Zhao has seized it. Go and take it back for me."

Bai Qi vividly recounted the story in rural slang, almost making King Zheng of Qin, who had been living in seclusion in the deep palace, laugh.

Bai Qi spoke frankly, saying, "If Zhao employs Lian Po and holds firm against the enemy, I will be helpless."

"But in King Zhaoxiang of Qin's eyes, it was just, 'You, Bai Qi, are you still thinking about your old flame Wei Ran? He's been dead for years! Can't you forget him? I'm the current one!'"

"The states of Qin and Zhao were locked in a stalemate for three years without a victor."

"King Zhaoxiang of Qin had no choice but to finally believe in Lord Wu'an's strategic vision."

"The Qin state used Yinghou Fanju to carry out a counter-espionage scheme, which led the Zhao state to appoint Zhao Kuo as general in place of Lian Po."

"Qin achieved a great victory, killing over 200,000 Zhao cavalry in battle. However, Qin also suffered heavy losses, and its army was out of food."

Bai Qi's voice gradually deepened, and King Zheng of Qin couldn't help but hold his breath, because the important part was about to begin.

"Bai Qi considered himself a general of Qin, but he did not know the king's thoughts, so he asked King Zhaoxiang of Qin for instructions."

King Zhaoxiang of Qin glanced at him disdainfully and said, "If it were Marquis Rang, what would you have done?"

"Bai Qi thought of the Battle of Yan and Ying and believed that King Zhaoxiang of Qin wanted to destroy Zhao and become emperor."

"So he raised his sword and plotted to bury more than 200,000 surrendered Zhao soldiers alive."

"The people of Zhao are terrified, and the whole country mourns! Lord Wu'an continues to advance his troops, intimidating Handan, intending to annihilate Zhao in one battle, fulfilling his duty as a general."

At this point, Bai Qi suddenly fell silent, clasped his hands together, and bowed to King Zheng of Qin.

King Zheng of Qin, his voice hoarse, continued, "King Zhaoxiang refused, so he asked Yinghou to allow Han to cede Yuanyong and Zhao to cede six cities in exchange for peace. All the troops ceased fighting in the first month."

In September of the same year, Qin attacked Zhao again. Wang Ling, one of the five ministers, failed in his attack on Handan and lost 40,000 soldiers.

"At that time, Bai Qi recovered from his illness. King Zhaoxiang wanted to order Lord Wu'an to attack Handan. Bai Qi said, 'Zhao is difficult to conquer.'"

"King Zhaoxiang appointed General Wang Yi to replace Wang Ling in attacking Handan, but the siege dragged on for a long time without success."

"The State of Chu sent Lord Chunshen and Lord Xinling of Wei with hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Qin, and the Qin army suffered heavy casualties."

"King Zhaoxiang wanted to force Bai Qi to send troops, but Bai Qi claimed to be seriously ill. When Lord Ying pleaded, Bai Qi still refused."

In March, King Zhaoxiang ordered, "Depart immediately and do not linger." Bai Qi, despite being ill, set off. Upon reaching Duyu, King Zhaoxiang sent an envoy with a sword, ordering him to commit suicide!

King Zheng of Qin sighed deeply, bowed his head, and paid homage twice at the tomb of Lord Wu'an. Firstly, to repay his kindness, and secondly, to feel ashamed of his ancestors' sins.

King Zheng of Qin stood up. "Seventh Master Bai, are you recounting the events of Changping today to warn me that, as ruler in the future, I must not arbitrarily suspect the generals who command troops?"

"Yes and no."

Bai Qi decisively switched to the mode of reporting to the emperor and his ministers, his expression solemn: "After Lord Wu'an committed suicide, Qin was defeated by Lord Xinling of Wei and Lord Chunshen of Chu."

"Qin suffered a major defeat, and Zheng Anping surrendered to Zhao. Two years later, Wang Ji was executed for treason."

Fan Ju felt ashamed and gradually lost the favor of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. In the end, he recommended Cai Ze to replace him, and resigned from his post as prime minister due to illness. In the same year, Fan Ju died.

Bai Qi took a deep breath.

"If we follow the order of age, both Your Majesty and I were born after the Battle of Changping."

"We were born at the wrong time; our fates are in the hands of others, and we cannot control them ourselves."

King Zheng of Qin thought of the nine years he had spent as a hostage in the State of Zhao, living in constant fear.

At that time, the orphan in front of him, without parents, was under the shadow of hatred and sharp blades.

As a prince of Qin, he suffered humiliation, but his life and death were no obstacle.

However, his life or death depended on the thief's every thought.

Comparing the two, King Zheng of Qin couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

He misses his mother!

"What Bai Qizi said, I already know completely."

King Zheng of Qin waved his sleeve, bowed his head, and said, "Let bygones be bygones; let us only discuss tomorrow."

Bai Qi rose and bowed, saying, "It is my honor to serve Your Majesty."

King Zheng of Qin smiled slightly, and the young man said playfully, "But I wonder, which of the Seven Princes' white moonlights is she fond of?"

Bai Qi's expression turned slightly embarrassed. "Jun Wuxia, I've had a crush on you for a long time since I was young!"

King Zheng of Qin's smile deepened, for he understood the naive political implications of the young man before him.

King Zheng of Qin turned around and looked at the city of Xianyang.

"I am hampered by two empress dowagers within my court and powerful ministers who control the government. Would Bai Qizi be willing to assist me in restoring order to the court and the world, and in sweeping away the six kingdoms?"

"That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask!"

"Hahaha~, entering Xianyang!"

"Enter Xianyang!"
