I have a space station

After reading the letter, Lord Yangquan no longer hesitated.

He immediately took him to see his sister, who was also the elder sister of Lady Huayang.

Lü Buwei used the same method and successfully persuaded her.

This was a win-win strategy, and no one would refuse it. So, Lord Yangquan and his sister decisively arranged for Lü Buwei to meet Lady Huayang.

Thus, Lü Buwei, a prominent figure of his time, successfully pried open the door to the political center of Qin with a letter and a large amount of gold and silver.

......

After returning to Zhao, in order to strengthen his control over Yiren, Lü Buwei deliberately arranged for a beautiful woman to perform a dance at a banquet.

"Excellent! Excellent! Lü Buwei, does this woman have a name? What is her name?"

Yiren was attracted by the woman's exquisite figure and graceful dance, and his heart was moved.

Moreover, having gained the initial approval of Lady Huayang, he became a little arrogant. In front of Lü Buwei, he became presumptuous and wild.

Lü Buwei didn't know her name, so he just made one up:

"Zhao Ji."

Meaning a dancer from the Zhao kingdom.

"Zhao Ji! Good! Good! The person is beautiful, and the name is beautiful too!"

Yiren couldn't help but clap his hands.

Lü Buwei knew that he had taken a fancy to her and pretended to be unhappy on the surface.

"Does the prince like her?"

"Yes! This woman has a graceful figure and a light dance. I like her very much!"

Yiren hurriedly picked up his wine glass to express his feelings.

"To be honest, I also admire Zhao Ji's beauty very much! I originally wanted to take her as a concubine. But since the prince likes her, I will reluctantly part with her and give her to you!"

Lü Buwei pretended to be embarrassed, but in reality, he just didn't want Yiren to be suspicious.

But this Zhao Ji was no ordinary person. On the surface, she was just a dancer with an ordinary identity, but in reality, she was the Holy Maiden of the Zoroastrianism.

Even Lü Buwei himself didn't know this.

In the same year, Zhao Ji gave birth to a son for Yiren.

And this child was the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, who would later unify the six kingdoms.

In 257 BC, it was the last year of the Battle of Handan.

With the help of Wei and Chu, the Zhao army defeated the Qin army and won the victory, but their national strength was greatly reduced.

The King of Zhao ordered the execution of Yiren, the Qin hostage.

With the secret help of the Zoroastrianism, Lü Buwei took Yiren and fled Zhao, returning to Qin.

Because Yiren had no foundation in Qin at this time, and his relationship with Lady Huayang and her son had not been fully established.

Therefore, Zhao Ji and the two-year-old Ying Zheng were temporarily left in Zhao.

Qin, Xianyang, the residence of Lord Yangquan.

Under the arrangement of Lord Yangquan, Lady Huayang and Yiren were able to meet.

"Mother!" Yiren said nothing after seeing Lady Huayang and bowed his head.

Lady Huayang burst into tears when she heard this "Mother."

She didn't expect that one day she would have her own son.

With a son, she would have a stronger backing in the palace.

"My son! Get up quickly!"

Lady Huayang went up to help him up herself.

"Thank you, Mother!"

"My son, why are you wearing Chu clothes?"

Lady Huayang carefully looked at her son, whom she was meeting for the first time, and asked curiously when she saw him wearing Chu clothes.

This was arranged by Lü Buwei in advance.

Lady Huayang was born into a noble family in Chu and was related to the Queen Mother Xuan (Mi Bazi), the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

"Mother, you are from Chu, so naturally, I am also from Chu," Yiren replied.

"Woo woo woo~, good! Good! Good!"

Lady Huayang burst into tears.

Having such a considerate and sensible son, she couldn't wait to give him her whole heart.

"The name Yiren is not good. From today on, you will be called Zichu!" Lady Huayang said.

"Thank you, Mother, for giving me a name!" Yiren did not object.

The recognition of Yiren and his mother meant that Lü Buwei's plan had achieved a phased victory.

After that, with the strong promotion of Lady Huayang, Yiren went from being a nobody to a child who was especially cared for by Lord Anguo.

At first, Lord Anguo examined Yiren's homework and found it difficult for him to answer. Lady Huayang explained from the side, using the excuse that Yiren had grown up alone in Zhao and no one had taken care of him.

Because Lord Anguo himself had been a hostage in Zhao when he was young, he felt deeply about this and no longer made things difficult for him.

However, this incident still aroused Lü Buwei's vigilance.

Yiren was greedy for money and lustful, and he had no knowledge. No matter how hard outsiders tried, it would be difficult to push him up. In order to create more opportunities for Yiren, Lü Buwei, with the cooperation of the Zoroastrianism, launched multiple attacks on Lord Anguo.

Of course, each time it was just enough to make a point.

One day, multiple assassins appeared in Lord Anguo's mansion. After investigation, it was found that they came from Zhao.

Yiren took the opportunity to advise that Lord Anguo had not contacted his old acquaintances in Zhao since he succeeded the crown prince. After so many years, they must hate him. He volunteered to be responsible for maintaining the security of the mansion.

Since then, Yiren finally gained the approval of Lord Anguo.
