It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 544: Spring is coming, managing Lingnan

During the time when Yong'an was detained in the palace, Ren Xiong and Zhao Tuo brought news of victory in Chu.

In that year, Lingnan was divided into three counties. Ying Zheng appointed Ren Xiong as the prefect of Nanhai County, controlling the three counties of Nanhai, Xiang County, and Guilin County in Lingnan. Ren Xiong sent his most trusted general, Zhao Tuo, to lead the army to garrison Nanhai County and serve as the prefect of Longchuan.

The end of the year has arrived, but the climate in the south is very different from that in the northwest, it is humid and hot. After the war, the Qin army, which came from afar, relaxed and the symptoms of acclimatization became particularly obvious.

The South was not yet civilized, and witch doctors were prevalent, so the treatment methods were not always effective.

Ren Xiong was no problem in marching and fighting. When he was in charge of Lingnan, he consulted Wang Jian in Chu for some good strategies.

However, Wang Jian's health was already at the end of his strength, and he had recently heard that his eldest son was involved in an incident in Xianyang. At first, he was just a little angry.

He watched Dun Ruo pass away, Wang Wan die of illness, and Yao Jia be abandoned... power and wealth all flowed away.

He taught his children to be devoted to the emperor and the state of Qin, but to stay away from political struggles. He also told them that the debates of different ideologies in the court were all illusions, disguised as power struggles to pursue personal gain.

But this matter was far beyond his imagination.

This was a tragedy he witnessed when he was young.

It was because of this tragedy that he developed the character of avoiding the limelight and being a well-versed ruler.

In the 260th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin ( BC), Wang Jian was only years old.

King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Yingji, was the son of King Huiwen of Qin and the Queen Dowager Xuan.

He has been on the throne for sixty years, which is too long.

People will make some mistakes in their later years. When a person sits in the position of king for too long, he will forget that human blood has temperature and emotions also have temperature.

The Battle of Changping and the Submission of Shangdang were strategies used by a monarch to seek benefits for his country and himself.

He didn't care how many people died or how many tragedies would result.

He is just a heartless and ungrateful King of Qin.

Therefore, Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an, was demoted to a soldier and executed in Duyou.

When Ying Zheng unified the world, the nobles of the six kingdoms were forcibly suppressed. There will always be dissatisfied people. For the Qin Dynasty, such past events must never be brought up again.

Also, because of Ying Zheng's personal emotions, Zhao was the most severely suppressed state. If this matter was dug up by people with ulterior motives, and if anyone dared to denounce Qin's cunning and deception, it would be another tragedy with rivers of blood flowing.

Would Ying Zheng be a more benevolent king than his great-grandfather?

Wang Jian absolutely did not think so.

The descendants of Ying Zheng will never remember him first as the king of Qin, but as the emperor who possessed the entire world.

How can the emperor's authority be touched by such villains?

Feng Ting, the Feng family should have disappeared completely, but King Zhaoxiang passed away, and two Qin kings died in the following three years... Ying Zheng ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and left many problems to his Qin State.

The Qin Dynasty, however, was different; it gave Ying Zheng time to deal with these matters.

The factional struggle between Princess Yong'an and the eldest son was already quite complex. When Yao Jia was sidelined, he reminded Wang Heng to think things through.

But he never expected that his son would marry a descendant of Feng Ting, which brought the Wang family into the relationship again.

The matter of the Lishan Palace actually affected so many people.

Wang Jian was terrified and struggled to get up from his sickbed, intending to write a letter back to Xianyang.

At this time, Ren Xiong, who had just pacified Lingnan and Baiyue, visited Shouchun.

They were all soldiers, and Ren Xiao was the younger one, so he naturally had more to say than the civil officials. Ren Xiao was lenient with the policies of the military and civilians in Lingnan, but he was clearly not good at dealing with the climate. He was thin and weak from not being used to the local environment, and his movements showed signs of discomfort.

Wang Jian was old, but he managed to talk to him patiently, as if he wanted to teach him all the key points he had learned from his five years of military command and stationing in Chu before he died.

Even Ren Xiao was a little surprised. "General, you are so generous in teaching me... I am deeply grateful."

"Bowei. Your father and generation were born and raised in Qin. You and I are both in the South, but the towns of Lingnan are far away from everyone else and have suffered a lot."

Ren Xiao paused, knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said, "I am grateful for the general's guidance. I am not suffering."

"The vast sea lies beneath Nanjun. In other words, how could it not be the gateway to Qin?"

Wang Jian wanted to give more instructions, but he coughed loudly and the servant was dismissed by him.

"General," he also brought a piece of news from Xianyang to Wang Jian, which was written by Ying Hehua.

"Yong'an?" Wang Jian was slightly surprised. He had been slow to respond. He had originally planned to take her from Daze Township to Shouchun, but she had unexpectedly turned back halfway. He didn't know what had happened in Xianyang, and Wang Jian didn't want to know more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Ren Xiao said, "His Highness said that if the General wishes to return to Xianyang, please read this book first..."

"You've met Yongan."

"During our trip to Vulture Peak in the past," he changed his story, "Your Highness once met me in Kuaiji."

The last time Wang Jian saw her was when his daughter got married to her brother.

Later, Wang Jian was shocked to hear the imperial edict from Changle Palace. He thought it was Ying Zheng's intention to let her come to Chu to be a widow, to let his most intelligent daughter rule Chu. Wang Jian thought this was Ying Zheng's precautions against the Chu nobles and... against him.

But her letters didn't mean that.

It wasn't difficult for Ying Hehua to figure out those things, but the difficult part was that she actually grasped the most crucial point...

Feng Ting.

Probably, because she was the daughter of Ying Zheng, she had the same sharp eyes as her father, the monarch who unified the six kingdoms.

Along with the imperial edict, in addition to the official positions granted by Ying Zheng to Ren Xiong and others, there were also several carts of things brought by the Minister of Agriculture.

——Hybrid rice seeds.

During the time when Ren Xiong went to Shouchun.

Someone is coming from Nanhai County in Lingnan.

Zhao Tuo closed the door and refused to see him.

For three days straight, it was truly strange to see so many garishly dressed people standing at the gate of the Longchuan County government office. Those who didn't know better might have thought they were part of a joint uprising. The powerful Chu Jing clan still had some influence in Nanyue, and they had made some moves to force Zhao Tuo to meet with them.

"Jing, what do you want?"

The Great Wizard smiled and said, "Once the Qin Dynasty is in chaos and Longchuan is in power, we will have a chance."

Zhao Tuo waved his hand and said, "I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. Please go back."

"Are you, Lord Longchuan, just going to sit back and watch Young Master Jia die? Lord Zhao is still trying to survive in Mount Li, so why are you thinking of calling it quits? Is being Lord Longchuan better than being Lord Pingyang?"

Zhao Tuo glared at him and held down his sword. "Don't mention it again!"

Jing Wu said, "It's alright if you've forgotten everything. I remember when you first went south to attack Yue, Tu Sui was defeated and killed. And you? Are you willing to be driven by others? Heh, you're still a Qin man. How can a mere brute like Ren compare to you?" (End of Chapter)
