The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 709 0017, the new king ascended the throne
King Qin Zhuang is dead, of course we can't hide this matter.He called the eunuch who was waiting at the door, and the eunuch came in and was startled.Then he hurriedly reported the matter to the Empress Dowager Huayang, and then to the senior officials in the court.The death of a monarch is a big event, especially at this juncture of the Seven Kingdoms War.

Zhao Zichu had no chance to get in touch with major military and political affairs, so naturally he didn't know what kind of threat Qin was facing now.Chu State has always been an ally with Qin State, but the other countries have always been dissatisfied with Qin State.Now Qin's economic development is getting better and better, and the number of troops is increasing. They deeply feel the threat from Qin.

Before Qin could trouble them, several countries united against Qin.They divided into several groups and launched surprise attacks on different places in Qin State.

Sneak attack is a shameful act, especially at this juncture.It can be said that there are internal and external troubles. King Qin Zhuang passed away. It stands to reason that the prince should keep his filial piety for the former emperor.

However, due to special matters, the Qin State at this time cannot be left alone for a day. With the unanimous consent of all the officials, Qin State decided to let the new king succeed in advance.

For Qin Zhuang Wang Zhao Zichu, death is a relief.

When the new king succeeded, Qin had already entered the next stage.

In the first year of King Qin, Zhao Zheng succeeded to the throne and became the king of Qin.All the envoys from the six countries came to congratulate and sent many good things to Qin Wang Zhao Zheng.

Some families rejoice and others hate each other, and some people will not be happy.She was the empress dowager before, so she was in control of all affairs of the state of Qin, but now she is the empress dowager, and the power has been taken away from her.

There is no suspense about Zhao Zheng succeeding to the throne, but Zhao Zheng was only 13 years old when he succeeded. It stands to reason that a 13-year-old child cannot control power.The Zhao family with the surname of Ying was led by Lord Shang, and Lu Buwei assisted in the court, so the power of Qin finally fell into the hands of Zhao Ji, who was the queen mother.

In terms of emotion and reason, Zhao Ji, the queen mother, is the most suitable candidate.Zhao Zheng is her only son, and whoever wants to harm him, Zhao Ji will not harm him.Handing over the power of Qin to Zhao Ji is basically like handing over to Lu Buwei.

Zhao Ji is a womanly family, although the Queen Mother Huayang is also a womanly family, but after all, she has come to the present step by step.In the past, she was the favorite concubine of An Guojun, then the Crown Princess of Qin State, then the Queen of Qin State, and finally the Queen Mother of Qin State.Zhao Ji reached the sky in one step, skipping most of the links.

Naturally, the envoys from the six countries came not only to send congratulatory gifts, each envoy had a mission.Before leaving, their monarchs have explained, and they must say a few words to the new monarch of Qin.The purpose is to let them have a look at how capable the new monarch of Qin is. Although a few words can't find out everything, they can find out the truth.

Zhao Zheng received the envoys of the six countries one by one, and talked with the envoys of Qi and Zhao for the longest time.Because among the Seven Kingdoms, apart from Qin, Zhao and Qi are the strongest, and they can be said to be the strongest enemies of Qin.

He spoke clearly and logically, no matter what the envoys asked, Zhao Zheng was able to answer them fluently.This meeting gave the envoys of the six countries a lot of insight. After returning, the six countries accelerated the pace of development at the same time.A few years ago, Qin State slowed down the pace of development and growth, but now with such a monarch, the future of Qin State is limitless.

According to the practice of the Qin State, before the monarch has performed the crowning ceremony, a certain minister will handle all the trivial matters in the court.Now that the power is in Zhao Ji's hands, she will naturally hand over the affairs of the court to Lu Buwei.

Zhao Ji asked Zhao Zheng to recognize Lu Buwei as his second father, and Lu Buwei had full authority to manage all military and political affairs of Qin State.Unlike the Empress Dowager Huayang, Zhao Ji didn't have such big ambitions.Although the Queen Mother Royal Seal is still the highest symbol of power in Qin, she directly gave the Queen Mother Royal Seal to Lu Buwei.

Zhao Gao is the only caring person around Zhao Zheng, and he can only complain to Zhao Gao if he has something on his mind.However, Zhao Gao has changed a lot in the past two years. Before that, he had been reporting Zhao Zheng's whereabouts to Lu Buwei.Since Zhao Zheng taught him a lesson, he is now Zhao Zheng's most trustworthy confidant.

Lu Buwei couldn't get the slightest trace of Zhao Zheng's whereabouts from Zhao Gao's mouth, and he was almost mad by Zhao Gao's intentional inducement several times.But Zhao Zheng knew that he couldn't do without Lu Buwei at this time, so he would never turn his back on Lu Buwei.

The Empress Dowager Huayang was dissatisfied, so he arranged for Zhao Xiongqi to lead the army at the border.Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei will still give this face. Although this matter was raised above the court, Zhao Zheng has no decision-making power at all.

This is also the first time that Zhao Zheng has experienced the difficulties of King Zhuang of Qin. He listened to the reports of all kinds of work from the ministers, but he did not have the decision-making power to make any decisions in his hands.

Especially in the first few days when he succeeded to the throne, all the envoys from the six countries lived in Xianyang, and they would always find various reasons to meet Zhao Zheng.No matter what proposals they have, Zhao Zhengjun has no right to respond in person.In a word, this matter is of great importance, and we will notify you after discussion.

Even if it is going out to hunt in the palace, Zhao Zheng has no right to decide.Lu Buwei had to nod his head, and the Queen Mother's imperial seal would be the only way to let him go, otherwise even the guards guarding the gate of the king's city would not listen to King Qin Zhao Zheng's words.

After succeeding to the throne, Zhao Zheng only needs to do three things every day, eat, sleep and go to court.What to eat is decided by the imperial dining room, when to sleep is decided by Zhao Ji, and everything that is played in the court is decided by Lu Buwei.

In the second year of King Qin, Zhao Zheng, who had been the king of Qin for a year, was bored. He had had enough of his current life.There is no fun in three o'clock and one line every day, and he even thinks that if he continues like this, he will get depression sooner or later.

Now that the right to govern Qin is no longer in his hands, and he has read books for so many years, he now hopes to go out to see the great rivers and mountains of Qin, or go out to see the world.

As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people.

This idea has been in Zhao Zheng's mind for several months, and he has been carefully planning every step in the past few months.Starting from leaving Xianyang, where to start from where to rest, and then pass there from there.He had planned all of this properly, and then he decided to tell his father Lu Buwei and his mother Zhao Ji about it.

There are still six years to go before the coronation ceremony, Zhao Zheng doesn't want to waste these six years in the deep palace compound.His future goal is the whole world, so he should take advantage of this moment to use his own feet to measure the world that will surely belong to Daqin.

Calling Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei together, Zhao Zheng told them the matter in a serious manner.He was fully prepared, so he expected that the two would definitely oppose it.

Zhao Zheng asked Zhao Ji, if he didn't leave Xianyang, would he have the right to handle the government in the future?

Zhao Ji's answer is very simple, after you have performed the crowning ceremony, all the affairs of Qin will naturally be handled by you, it is absolutely impossible before that.

Zhao Zheng asked Lu Buwei again, if he didn't leave Xianyang, would he be able to make a promise in the court in the future?

Lu Buwei's answer was similar to that of Zhao Ji. Now that Zhao Zheng is young, he will return all the power after Zhao Zheng's coronation ceremony.
