[Qin] Qin Shi

For some reason, Wang Jian didn't follow Ying Yiren's request to bring Zhao Zheng back to Xianyang.But he also did not obey Lu Buwei's intention to bring Zhao Zheng back to Hangu Pass, but gave the right to choose to Zhao Zheng, who in his opinion was far below the age of independence: "So, it's up to you to make the decision. "

Having seen too many self-assertive adults, Zhao Zheng was quite surprised that such an outlier as Wang Jian suddenly appeared.The young man looked at Wang Jian inquiringly, but he got a perfunctory answer from him: "So when they asked, Jian had a perfect reason to get double the bounty without working."

Is it just perfunctory for the bounty?

No matter what choice he makes, he can use the excuse of 'this is the decision of the ward' when the employer asks, but is it really just for the bounty?Looking at Wang Jian who looked cynical on the surface, Zhao Zheng could not help but think of the Zhao soldier who was let go by the other party, and always felt that he was being used as an 'excuse' just because the other party wanted to watch a good show.

It was the first time Zhao Zheng met such a bad person at such an age, and he made a decision between his expectations for Xianyang's father and Lu Buwei who couldn't get rid of him for the time being: "Go to Hangu Pass and find Zhongfu." At the same time as he made his decision, Zhao Zheng also revised his address for Lu Buwei.

It's not a respect from the heart, but it's a must for living.Living in Zhao for so many years has taught Zhao Zheng that if he wants to pretend, he must deceive everyone from the beginning, even himself.

In order to live a better life in Zhao Guo, he could not fight back when facing those princes and grandchildren of Zhao Guo, and now he can show his trust and dependence on those who can protect him before obtaining new guarantees.The only difference is that the humiliation back then won him a pleasant surprise, and now the guarantee he can get in the future is to always miss his biological father.

Blood relationship is always more indestructible than the friendship between people, right?

"Oh?" Wang Jian is naturally okay, "Is that the decision?" He looked at Zhao Zheng, who was not as tall as him, with interest, and the joke and expectation on his face were undisguised, "You must know that if you decide to write Guguan, then after I get there, I’m just an ordinary guard~”

"But you have to go to Xianyang with me," Zhao Zhengcai refused to jump into the hole Wang Jian dug with malicious intentions, "You don't want to part with my father's bounty, and you don't want to part with the official position of five hundred masters." So even this way You are just an ordinary guard, and you will still go with you.And after arriving in Xianyang, it will be easy to find you again.

Hearing what Zhao Zhengyan meant, Wang Jian pursed his lips, feeling that the little boy in front of him was not as cute as he imagined: "All right, Hangu Pass is Hangu Pass." Of course he didn't care, he wanted to accompany this little boy If the son goes to Xianyang, even if he does not accompany him to Xianyang...

How could it be possible, his own son is still in the hands of Lu Buwei/Ying Yiren.

Those roundabout inquiries before were just curious about how this proton, who has been in a different place, would choose when he showed his trust and determination.

As for judging—

"You are more suitable to be king than son Cheng Qiao." Wang Jian commented casually after helping Zhao Zheng onto the horse.

Such words are naturally a compliment. For a child who has always longed for approval, a Zhao Zheng who has always looked forward to and yearns for his own clan, and wants to become a master that no one can humiliate and no one can bully, it should be a kind of affirmation.

But Zhao Zheng, who is careful, couldn't stop paying attention to the hidden content in Wang Jian's words: "Master Cheng Qiao?" When he was still in Handan, he accidentally heard Lu Buwei talking to his mother about his great-grandfather's serious illness, so he knew it too. His great-grandfather is the current King of Qin, and his grandfather is the sure next King of Qin.

Then he is qualified to compete with him on the same stage and become the person who became the No. 30 fourth generation king of Qin after his father, and who can be called the son-his father's son.

"You don't know who Cheng Qiao is?" Wang Jian looked at Zhao Zheng differently, with a look of surprise on his face, "Are you serious? You don't know that your father remarried in Qin Dynasty and had a lifetime. child's matter?"

……

"Are you kidding, you really don't know?!" Wang Jian's excellent night vision ability allowed him to observe Zhao Zheng's rather ugly face clearly, and it was quite embarrassing to realize that he seemed to have pierced some important secret. "Perhaps it's because your father had to make compromises because of the form?"

Thinking that the little guy in front of him was only a few years older than his own son, Wang Jian subconsciously found an excuse for this young man who had been looking forward to his father's love until just now: "His new wife is the princess of Chu State, after all, she is Huayang. Madame is a matchmaker for your father. I mean, maybe your son, Mr. Chu, has his own reasons?"

He himself did not believe what he said. Before he left, the King of Qin was seriously ill, and it had been a long time since he had entrusted all affairs of the Qin State to his son Chu (Ying Yiren).No matter whether he married the current wife because of true love or because of circumstances, it was a kind of deception and delay for Zhao Ji Yu Gongzizheng, who took Zhao Guo's place as a hostage.

Especially when the night is dark and the wind is high, and there are pursuers fleeing back to Qin in embarrassment behind them.

"But look, didn't he send me to protect you as soon as he heard that Lu Buwei was going to take your mother and son back to Qin?" Wang Jian touched the back of his neck, trying to ease the embarrassing situation between the two of them. "If you're more optimistic, he actually still cares about you."

"He has a lot of opportunities to ask me to come, doesn't he?" Zhao Zheng, who was appeased, pressed his thin lips tightly, and he couldn't tell whether it was bitterness or loss, "He left his wife (wife and children) and returned to Qin for so many years. Have you had no chance for many years? Have you never thought about the situation my mother and I will have?"

Zhao Zheng thought of Yan Dan who was a few years older than himself and was in Zhao Guo as a hostage. He remembered his joy when he told himself that he would be taken back to his country by King Yan, and remembered the time when they were hostages at the same time. The little boy who followed him thought of the prince and grandson of Zhao Guogong who played with him (Yan Dan).

Turning back time by his side, he seems to have returned to the time when he was still bullied and excluded a few years ago, and he had not yet met the proud and free little friend who lived outside Handan City, walking alone.He stood in a corner of the academy, watching Yan Dan, who was also a proton, speaking Handan dialect like a Zhao native.

"I don't know," Zhao Zheng looked blankly at the dark jungle in the distance, like a traveler walking in the mist, unable to discern his way forward, "I never knew that I was not the only one." No one would tell a proton These things, whether they are clan or national things, and the people who might tell him about them don't know his identity.

He thought he was special enough, because when Zhao State hated Qin the most, he replaced his father as a hostage in Zhao State.He thought he was unique enough because he was his father's first, ever and only child.He thought he was important enough, so important that when he heard that Wang Jian was sent by his father, he felt joy and elation in his heart.

But now a pot of cold water is pouring on his head. His father has other children, his great-grandfather has other grandsons, and Qin has other heirs.

It turns out that he is not the only one for anyone.

Yu Baishu is not the irreplaceable one, nor is his own biological father the only one, and even the Qin he misses is not the only one——

——Maybe only his mother Zhao Ji, maybe only for Zhao Ji, he is the only one.

It's like a person against the current holding on to the straw in the torrent, like a person drifting in the vast ocean holding on to the driftwood in the ups and downs.The days when he and his mother struggled to survive in Handan of Zhao State flashed before Zhao Zheng one after another, and the days when he was bullied outside and could only find peace at home flashed back in his memory one after another.

He and his mother...

...he and his mother.

The people in the dark saw the dawn, and the unwillingness and grievances in their hearts gradually faded away, and the hope and greed for the future rose gradually. Zhao Zheng's hand tightly grasped the rein, his fingers were almost exactly like the palm of his hand, but his face But it is completely different from the mood: "Then, we should go."

For the first time, he found that faking his own smile was not as difficult as he thought.

Ah Shu was right, Zhao Zheng bent his eyes to cover the lonely look in his eyes, Ah Shu was always right.

If no one likes a child who loses his temper, will his grandfather like him when he laughs, when he becomes the obedient one?Will Mrs. Huayang like him?Will the sons and grandsons of Qin State like him?Will the Qin clan like him?

Will he like him more than Cheng Qiao?Would love him more than his father?

If everyone is moving forward for profit, if everyone is moving for profit, then when he has more things to use, when he has enough exciting benefits in his hands, then those things he cannot get, It will be in his hands.

If he is not the most important one now: "A strong man," Zhao Zheng looked back at Wang Jian with a smile, "If I can promise you more in the future, will you help me?"

Ah Shu is right, if there are wolves before and tigers behind, then why not give up feeding the wolves before throwing themselves at the tigers.Since being empty-handed is also doomed to leave without anything else, maybe after leaving something behind, you can take some unexpected things with you behind you.

On this dark cloud-shrouded night, the sound of breathing was covered by the rustling of leaves, and even the sound of horseshoes merged into the boundless darkness, and someone who was holding the rein unconsciously clenched his hand.

The young man who always claimed to be smart realized that he made too many mistakes because of ignorance tonight.Those were not fatal, they could even be regarded as minor mistakes, accumulated little by little, and finally became an ant nest that collapsed at this moment.

In the past, his smooth journey through the Six Kingdoms had worn away his innate care and prudence, and made him arrogant and ignorant. Everything is in his calculation: "What can you promise me?"

If he had known the heart of meritorious deeds that had been buried all along, on such an ordinary night, because the little prince Qin was about to make a move, Wang Jian swore that he would never be so reckless.He will not be reckless to let Zhao soldiers go because he wants to watch the excitement, he will not be reckless to tell his own small thoughts because he wants to get double benefits, and he will not be reckless to let him alone on the horse and expose himself to them. don't care.

Now is not a good time.

He took advantage of Lu Buwei, took advantage of Ying Zichu, and even let go of an enemy because of bad taste. After being caught by the party, he was bewitched by the restless heart he almost forgot— —

——Now is not a good time.

But damn it, he just couldn't control himself.

"What do you want?" Wang Jian's breathing was still calm, but Zhao Zheng heard the beating of his heart like a thunderous drum behind him, "When I become King Qin, what do you want?"

"What if I want the position of Marquis Che?" The man's hoarse voice seemed to cover up his abnormality, "Can you give it?"

After the reform of Shangyang, the Qin Dynasty abolished the old system of nobles and nobles, and changed it to the system of [-] ranks of military merit.

One official, two superiors, three hairpins, four not changing, five officials, six officials, seven officials, eight officials, nine and five officials, ten left elders, eleven right elders, twelve left watchmen , The thirteenth middle watch, the fourteenth right watch, the fifteenth young master, the sixteenth grand master, the seventeenth four-car concubine chief, the eighteenth concubine chief, the nineteenth Guanneihou, and the twenty Chehouhou.

Wang Jian opened his mouth wide and claimed the position of the highest marquis of the Qin State, his ambition was clearly revealed.But Ying Zheng laughed. Although he didn't know much about Qin's legal system, he knew that it was different from the hereditary lords of the other six countries. Since Shang Yang, if the people of Qin wanted to climb up the ranks, they had to fight for titles.

Now mentioning the position of marquis, Wang Jian's ambition is clearly revealed.

Zhao Zheng saw something very similar to Bai Shu in Wang Jian's body, which was very similar to what he saw in his little friend Bai Shu.At this moment, he couldn't describe exactly what it was, but this similarity made him clearly realize that after screwing up his relationship with Bai Shu, he knew better how to get along with this kind of people.

Zhao Zheng has heard his mother mention the story of Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren's "this rare product can live in" countless times, and he has also heard Lu Buwei talk about the prosperity of Qin State countless times.Since Lu Buwei was able to send his father away with six hundred gold back then, and now he can send away their mother and son with a hundred gold, since Ying Yiren can grant Lu Buwei with great power and Wang Jian with military power...

...so why couldn't he?

Those who bullied his mother and son, those who laughed at his mother and son, those who stood by him, and those who made trouble for him, he would not let go of any of them.

But before that, he will become the king of Qin.

"If I become king," the young man swore to himself in the dark night, "I want to wipe out the six kingdoms! I want this entire world to be Qin's territory! I want my voice to be the only one in this universe! I want to The people of Kyushu all bow their heads when they see me! I want this land to still belong to Qin after thousands of years.”

He wants the world to kneel down for a name.

He wants the world to tremble because of his name.

He wants the world to have only one supreme name——Ying Zheng
