Thirteen Swords of Qin Shizhi's Desperate Beginning

East Gate of Wusui City, Ten Li Changting Pavilion
In the long pavilion, Ying Zheng was dressed in snow-white clothes, with a handsome face, a resolute expression, and deep eyes. He sat on the stone pier of the pavilion, holding a bamboo book, and waited quietly.

Gai Nie, with his sword Longxiang, stands on the left side of Yingzheng and acts as a personal guard.

Li Si stood on the right side of Yingzheng, looking forward from time to time with a calm expression.

Meng Tian was dressed in armor, young and heroic, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a sword hanging from his waist, and beside him were the elites of the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army, three hundred elites, but with three thousand combat strength.

Li Si asked: "Is it too condescending for the king to go out of the city ten miles to meet him?"

Ying Zheng gently put down the bamboo book, glanced at Li Si with his deep eyes, got up and walked with his hands behind his back, and said, "Mencius said: You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a scholar of the country."

"You treat me like a passerby, and I will repay you as a passerby."

"You treat me like nothing, and I will repay you with hatred."

Ying Zheng said calmly, "Li Si, how do you think Mr. Changqing is better than you?"

Li Si's face was slightly condensed, and then he replied respectfully: "I am ten times better than me, dozens of times. Li Si is far behind!"

Yingzheng nodded and said: "Such a great talent, let alone ten miles out of the city, even a hundred miles or a thousand miles out of the city, the widow will take him into his side."

"Mr. Changqing alone wins a million soldiers."

Li Si, Meng Tian, ​​and Gai Nie all had expressions on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Li Changqing's status in Ying Zheng's heart was so high.

"Report!"

The scouts came on horseback, dismounted three zhang away, and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the news from the scouts ahead, Mr. Changqing has arrived ten miles away."

Ying Zheng said in a loud voice: "Okay, go and reply quickly, the widow will report every mile."

The scout led the order to leave: "Obey!"

"..."

"Report, Mr. Changqing has arrived at Jiuli."

"Report, Mr. Changqing has arrived at eight miles."

"..."

"Report, Mr. Changqing has arrived at Sanli."

"..."

"Report, Mr. Changqing has arrived one mile away."

Ying Zheng looked forward to it, Han Fei and Li Changqing were both geniuses in the world.

Han Fei is a master of legalism, and he can help him rule the world with the rule of law.

However, the forces in Xianyang of the Qin State were intertwined and complicated, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period were constantly in dispute, and the current situation in the world was turbulent.

In a world of great controversy, what he needs more is a conspiracy like Li Changqing.

The ghost plotter is exactly Li Changqing, the peerless counselor who turns his hands into clouds and rains his hands, and the majestic general of a country is also played by him in his hands. He didn't understand why he embarked on the road of conspiracy road.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and said, "Follow me to welcome Mr. Changqing."

Everyone walked forward, and the flag of the Great Qin Black Dragon fluttered in the wind.

One mile, 500 meters, the two sides will meet soon.

Zhang Ma pulled the reins, and the horses and chariots stopped: "Woo!"

"Sir, here we are."

With a swipe, the curtain was lifted, and Li Changqing stepped out.

Ying Zheng walked over dressed in white.

At this moment, dressed in green shirts and white clothes, the two looked at each other from a distance, and they saw the ambition, structure, wisdom, and vision of the man in front of them.

Their eyes saw the world, the seven kingdoms, the entire schools of thought, and the splendid country.

Li Changqing got off the carriage step by step, walked slowly in front of Ying Zheng, clasped his fists in both hands, bowed and saluted: "Young Master Shang!"

Many years later, Yingzheng looked around the world and his courtiers. From then on, only the green shirt called him "Mr. Shang".

Ying Zheng saluted with both hands, and said back, "Mr. Changqing!"

The two stood up and looked at each other with a smile.

This kind of friendship is incomprehensible to outsiders, like a king like a minister, like a friend like yourself.This feeling is very strange, as if they understand and understand the man in front of them better than anyone else.

Ying Zheng invited: "Mr. Changqing, please!"

"Sir Shang, please!"

-

Half an hour later, the Wusui Central Army Camp
In a camp, everyone sat on their knees, because of military regulations, Nongyu was temporarily placed in a separate tent to wait for Li Changqing, and did not participate in the meeting.

Ying Zheng sits in the main seat, with Li Changqing and Gai Nie on the left, and Li Si and Meng Tian on the right.

Ten feet away from the big tent, Meng Tian's confidants and armored soldiers guarded the meeting. The content of the meeting was very confidential, including these cronies and soldiers were not allowed to approach within ten feet (33 meters).

Ying Zheng went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Guan Changqing's plan to eradicate Ji Wuye made me overwhelmed and my eyes widened. This return to Xianyang is full of dangers. I don't know what tricks you can teach me?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Li Changqing with anticipation on their faces.

Yingzheng has been in Yuanyuan for many years, if Gai Nie can solve this situation, why wait for three years?If Ying Zheng can solve this situation, why bother to struggle for several years and fail to repay his ambition?
Li Changqing took out a writing brush from the desk, and with a shock of inner strength, it turned into pieces of the brush, and placed them in a corner of the desk in a mess.

I saw Li Changqing took out a pen holder, put it in the center of the desk, and said: "This is Mr. Shang."

Ying Zheng and the others watched curiously.

Li Changqing took out another piece of pen holder, put it on the desk, and said: "This is Minister Lu of the Qin Kingdom."

"This is the Queen Mother of Qin."

"This is Lai Ai, Hou Xin of Changxin."

"This is Lord Changping, the head of the Chu faction supported by Mrs. Huayang."

Ying Zheng, Gai Nie, Li Si, and Meng Tian stared at the pen on the desk. The forces represented by Ying Zheng were surrounded by all parties, and the situation was dangerous.

Li Changqing asked: "Mr. Shang thinks, among the four political forces, which ones are your sworn enemies? Which ones can be allies? Which ones have no conflict of interest with you?"

"This..." Ying Zheng was slightly taken aback, as wise as he was, he instantly understood what Li Changqing meant.

Li Changqing wanted to divide and characterize the political forces of all parties one by one, and then deal with them one by one.

Yingzheng cheered up and said, "Master, please teach me?"

Li Changqing moved a section of the pen back slightly, and said: "This is the current Empress Dowager. Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is the birth mother of the King, and the Empress Dowager has only one son."

Speaking of this, Li Changqing's expression flickered slightly unnaturally, the Queen Mother Zhao Jiming indeed only had Yingzheng as an heir.But these years, she raised Lao Ai, a fake internal eunuch and real face, and gave birth to two sons in private.

Li Changqing continued: "Therefore, only when Mr. Shang is the king can her position as Queen Mother be stable and she can always enjoy the glory and wealth."

"Therefore, the power of the Empress Dowager will definitely not be your enemy, Mr. Shang. You only need to make a bargaining chip and show goodwill to form an alliance with it. At the worst, it will not turn into a political enemy."

Ying Zheng nodded. He knew his mother very well. As long as she was still the Queen Mother, as long as she could always enjoy the supreme honor and luxurious life, she didn't care about the rest.

Her mother used to have a difficult life in Zhao Guo, but now she is the Queen Mother of Great Qin, enjoying the most.

Afterwards, Li Changqing moved back a section of the pen and said, "The Chu faction supported by Mrs. Huayang is easier to deal with. Although Mrs. Huayang was favored by Lord An back then, she had no heirs."

An Guojun, King Qin Xiaowen, the son of Qin Zhaoxiang King Yingji, the overlord of the Great Qin Dynasty, passed away only three days after succeeding to the throne. He is Yingzheng's grandfather.

Li Changqing said: "At the beginning, when Lu Xiang entered Qin Dynasty, he persuaded Mrs. Huayang to adopt King Qin Zhuangxiang (Qin Yiren), the father of Mr. Shang, as his heir."

"So, according to etiquette, Mrs. Huayang is still Mr. Shang's grandmother."

Li Changqing sighed softly and said: "This man, when he gets old, he cares about family happiness the most and yearns for family affection the most. Mr. Shang can walk around more after returning to Xianyang."

Ying Zheng nodded when he heard the words. When he returned to Xianyang from Zhao State, he often went to greet the Queen Mother Huayang when he was young, but it has gradually faded in recent years.

Li Si asked, "Well, what about Mr. Changping?"

"Ms. Huayang is old and time is running out. The Chu faction in Qin is headed by Lord Changping. To solve the Chu faction, Changping Lord is the main target."

Li Changqing smiled lightly and said, "Master Li's question hits the nail on the head."

Li Si hurriedly waved his hands, shook his head and said, "I dare not call you Master Changqing."

"About this problem, I already have a solution." Li Changqing chuckled with confidence.
