The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 708 0016, Puppet Chu
King Zhuang of Qin, who heard this, was so angry that he spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then ordered someone to recruit Lu Buwei.This time, King Qin Zhuang did not lie on the bed, but leaned on the pillar and waited quietly for Lu Buwei to arrive.

Lu Buwei knew the reason, so he prepared for the worst.When he came to find King Qinzhuang for the second time, he brought nearly a hundred guards with him.Seal up all the palaces of King Qinzhuang, and no one can enter without his order, and those who violate the order will be punished.

King Qin Zhuang said: "Bringing so many people to the king's bedroom, it seems that you already know why the king is looking for you?"

Lu Buwei said: "Your Majesty, I want to ask you a question. After you answer my question, I will answer everything you ask truthfully."

King Qin Zhuang signaled Lu Buwei to continue, and Lu Buwei said, "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"

If it was half an hour ago, Qin Zhuangwang would not hesitate to say the word "believe".Because everything he owns now is inseparable from the person in front of him.He is not an ungrateful person, let alone tear down bridges.

King Qin Zhuang said: "Whether I believe you or not depends on how you treat me. If you have not done anything wrong to me, I will definitely believe you."

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Then you can ask."

King Zhuang of Qin said, "was Zhao Ji your woman before?"

Lu Buwei said, "No!"

King Zhuang of Qin said, "Whose child is Zheng'er?"

Lu Buwei said: "Your!"

King Qin Zhuang said: "Then do you know what the Empress Dowager Huayang said to this king just now?"

Lu Buwei said, "I know!"

The calmer Lu Buwei is, the more it proves that he has been prepared.It was also the first time King Zhuang of Qin had encountered such a thing, and he was in a state of disarray now.Previously, he consulted Lu Buwei about everything, but he never thought that one day he would question Lu Buwei.

Seeing that King Qinzhuang was silent, Lu Buwei said, "Your Majesty, whose son do you want Zhao Zheng to be?"

King Qin Zhuang: "..."

Lu Buwei said: "Your Majesty, do you remember what I reminded you earlier?"

King Qin Zhuang: "..."

Lu Buwei said: "If the king doesn't believe it, you can drag the minister out now. But I hope the king knows that the last thing you should do now is to doubt the identity of Zhao Zheng's mother and son."

King Qin Zhuang snorted coldly and said, "Don't I even have the right to know the truth?"

Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "What truth does your majesty want to know? I can tell you right now."

King Qin Zhuang said: "Then tell me now, was Zhao Ji your woman before? Was Zhao Zheng my son?"

Lu Buwei said: "I have saved Zhao Ji before, so she wants to agree with her body, but I have never touched Zhao Ji, that's the truth. As for Zhao Zheng, I don't know that the king wants Zhao Zheng to be yours." Son or wish he wasn't your son?"

Lu Buwei's words stunned King Qin Zhuang, and it took him a long time to react, and then continued to entangle in this matter.The answer given by Lu Buwei is very simple. If the king of Qinzhuang made Zhao Zheng the prince of Qin, then Zhao Zheng was the son of Zhao Zichu, the king of Qinzhuang.If King Qinzhuang did not make Zhao Zheng the prince, then Zhao Zheng would not be his son.

King Qin Zhuang who heard this was so angry that he was already dying of illness, and now King Qin Zhuang had only one breath left.He had already ordered someone to revise the edict, changing the original registration of Zhao Zheng to the registration of Zhao Xiongqi as the prince.But Lu Buwei took out another edict and asked King Qin Zhuang to stamp it on the spot.

King Zhuang of Qin was not forced, because he had the right to refuse, but he could not let the next king of Qin make the same mistakes.He has lived a life that would be worse than death in the past few years, so he knows what it's like to be a puppet best.

After stamping the imperial edict to enshrine the eldest son Zhao Zheng as the crown prince, King Qin Zhuang made the last request.He asked Lu Buwei to call Zhao Zheng over, saying that he was waiting for him in the main hall.

The main hall of the palace is the place where King Qin Zhuang goes to court to discuss matters every day.There is a dragon chair there, and there is no one in the world who does not like that chair.When Zhao Zheng came to the main hall, King Qin Zhuang was sitting on that chair.

The dying King Zhuang of Qin waved his hand at Zhao Zheng, signaling Zhao Zheng to sit directly on that chair.The dragon chair was so big that two people would not feel crowded, but King Qin Zhuang offered to give up his seat to Zhao Zheng, walked to the middle of the main hall and looked back at the dragon chair.

Well, although Zhao Zheng was only 12 years old at this time, he already looked like an emperor.Sitting on the dragon chair is very harmonious, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhao Zheng was sitting on the dragon chair, and King Qin Zhuang was staggering in the distance. When Zhao Zheng rushed over, King Qin Zhuang had already fallen heavily to the ground.He still hadn't finished speaking, so he used his last bit of strength to speak.

All the monarchs of the Qin Kingdom had great ambitions, but it was a pity that their ambitions were not paid off, and many generations of monarchs regretted it for life.Now that it has been passed down to Zhao Zichu's generation, he thinks he is sorry for the ancestors of Qin.Because he has been in power for more than three years, but he has never done a good thing for Qin.

He has no right to do things, and no one listens to him.The so-called more than enough heart but not enough energy is nothing more than that, but now he can finally rest assured.

He found a good successor for Qin, and he also gave an explanation to the ancestors.If it was out of selfishness, he would actually prefer Zhao Xiongqi.Because he doesn't like Zhao Zheng's son from the bottom of his heart, maybe because Zhao Xiongqi has a shadow of him when he was young.

This kid Zhao Zheng has always kept his word, and this kid is resourceful, so he will definitely be able to bear this burden in the future.The ambition of the Qin State came to Zhao Zheng, and the greatest wish of King Zhuang of Qin was that Zhao Zheng could fulfill the wishes of the ancestors of the Qin State.Destroy the six countries and unify the Central Plains, and the world will be peaceful from then on.

Zhao Zheng promised King Zhuang of Qin that he would not only destroy the six kingdoms and unify the Central Plains, but also annex the northern Huns and southern Baiyue, achieving a feat that is unprecedented and impossible for anyone to come.

With Zhao Zheng's promise, King Qin Zhuang can indeed go with peace of mind.But before he died, he took Zhao Zheng's hand and begged him to promise himself one thing.

Not to mention one thing, Zhao Zheng would agree even after three years.But he had already guessed what King Qinzhuang was thinking, otherwise he would not have promised King Qinzhuang that he would do it himself.

If he doesn't want anything to happen in the future, he, Zhao Zheng, will not attack Zhao Xiongqi.Even if Zhao Xiongqi committed a heinous crime, he, Zhao Zheng, would spare him a life.

This is what King Zhuang of Qin wanted, and it was also a promise Zhao Zheng gave him.Even at the last second, King Qin Zhuang was still worried about Zhao Xiongqi.

King Qin Zhuang slowly closed his eyes and lay down on the ground of the main hall as if asleep.Zhao Zheng didn't call anyone, since he returned to Qin.Everything was for the dragon chair in front of him, and now he really did it.Although he was very sad when King Qin Zhuang died, he was more happy for King Qin Zhuang.

Having been a puppet monarch for three years, he must have accumulated a lot of grievances and difficulties in his heart.But he never mentioned it to anyone, because he is the king, he can't pour these bitterness to anyone.

For King Qin Zhuang, death is the best relief.He died once and for all, and he has been the king of Qin for three years, which is much better than that short-lived ghost of An Guojun.
