Chapter 648: Yingzheng Yu Yingji! Zhao Jiyu Empress Dowager Xuan!
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and asked with a smile: "The Grand Tutor destroyed the Three Jins, and Qin was the only one who was stronger than the Grand Tutor? I hope to hear it carefully!"
Li Si continued: "For the achievements of the world, the king is the first, the empress dowager is the second, and the Qin marquis is the third, and one is not missing."
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up and said, "My mother? Li Si, you said, why is it? I know, you want to say, without the Queen Mother, there will be no one."
Li Si shook his head and said, "How could the merits of the Warring States Period be said to be cause and effect? The merits of the Queen Mother are really in front of him."
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked again: "You said that I am not even a king of six generations. I just pretend that you flatter me. I want to hear why you think that my mother's merit is real."
Li Si said immediately: "The king said it wrong again. It was not Li Si's compliment. The king did not dare to take credit. That was because the king respected the sages, but the sages only hoped that the king would surpass the monarchs of the previous life. How could the king of the later generation be submissive? Under the rule of the king, Qin State was indeed stronger than when he was King Zhaoxiang. This was a real merit. If Qin State fell into the hands of a mediocre king, how could the talents in the world gather in Xianyang? Since this is the case, it can be seen that the king's talent is far better than King Zhaoxiang."
"And, the king and King Zhaoxiang have many similarities, which just proves the great contribution of the Empress Dowager."
Li Si deliberately proposed King Zhaoxiang.
Because King Zhaoxiang was indeed a great contribution to Qin, the six kings were some of the cornerstones and some were the backbones, all of whom were striving for a goal. During the reign of King Zhaoxiang, Qin was once a splendid and famous ministers emerged. The complete turning point of Qin's decline from decline to prosperity was that King Zhaoxiang was the strong spine of Qin!
Ying Zheng finally said seriously: "Let me, listen, where is the real achievements of my mother, and what are the similarities between me and my ancestors."
Li Si restrained the tension in his heart and asked, "Your Majesty, can you tell me that the young master succeeded the throne several times since Duke Xiao Duke!"
When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt very upset. The young master succeeded to the throne, and he inherited the throne in his twentieth year!
Ying Zheng said: "Twice, one of them was the ancestor King Zhaoxiang who succeeded to the throne before he was twenty years old, and the other was me!"
Ying Zheng sat upright and filled the tea in front of him for Li Si.
Li Si then asked, "I dare to ask the king, what is the difference between the general trend in the court when the young master succeeded to the throne twice?"
Ying Zheng continued: "There is no difference."
When King Zhaoxiang succeeded to the throne, his power was not in his own hands. At that time, although he did not have Fan Ju, there were the left prime minister Gan Mao, the right prime minister Chu Liji, and the four nobles of the interest group where Wei Ran was located. In the early days of the throne, Gan Mao was supported by Zhang Yi's prerequisite for the State of Wei, but Zhang Yi secretly helped Sima Cuo take Bashu. Later, there was Wei Ran's confidant Bai Qi rising, countless famous ministers, and Queen Mother Xuan, who was powerful in the world. The situation in the court was complicated and difficult to describe, and it was hard to say.
Li Si continued, "Who is the best king to King Zhaoxiang?"
Ying Zheng was stunned, without thinking about it, and said, "It's too difficult for King Zhaoxiang!"
Li Si smiled and said, "How can you confuse this from the king in one word?"
Ying Zheng said: "The ancestor Empress Dowager Xuan was in power for 42 years, and King Zhaoxiang survived. With power, he was difficult."
Li Si said: "Can you know that King Zhaoxiang has not ruled for 42 years but has survived. What is the reason for each of them?"
Ying Zheng said: "I can't say anything in one sentence. I only know that my ancestors must have been worried about Zen essence day and night."
Li Si bowed and said, "A young master, whoever does not take power, will leave without a mercy, or will feel degenerate, or will be willing to stay away from the center. However, no matter what King Zhaoxiang thinks and what path he will go, he will only have one thought, that is, he believes that the mother of the regent will be able to return the power to him by then. This is the similarity between the king and the king Zhaoxiang. The difference is that the empress dowager is dedicated to being the king and really gives the power to the king without leaving any of it. Is this considered a real merit?"
Li Si continued: "Maybe the king thinks this power is easy, but the king does not know that the public is the most infatuated. Even if it is father, son, mother and son, and take the initiative to bow to the public, there is no one in a thousand. Even if Ming Huiying is just like Queen Mother Xuan, she will be regent until King Zhaoxiang is fifty-seven years old and does not return to his government, how can it be reasonable?"
Li Si immediately bowed to Ganquan Palace and said, "Look at Li Si, the current Empress Dowager is such a hero. If there is no empress dowager's right to bow to him, can Qin State annex the land of the Three Jins today? Is this considered a real merit?"
Ying Zheng was speechless by Li Si's words, and his heart was shocked.
"Public artifacts swallow the most personal relationship, and there is no one in a thousand!"
This is a truth that will never change forever!
Li Si added, saying, "The Empress Dowager does not bow to power, and it is in line with the rituals and laws. No one in the world dares to say that he is greedy. At that time, the Empress Dowager, what is needed in the world, can be obtained in one word. Because the Empress Dowager loves the King, he handed over the power to the King. Does the King know what the minister means in his heart?"
Ying Zheng nodded and sighed and said, "My mother is deeply affectionate and kind to me. When I was in Handan, if it weren't for the protection of my mother, I would have been in danger. To count it, at that time, my mother was not as old as I am today. It was because I owe my mother, it was my fault. Li Si, you have made merits, and you reminded me! I am also worried about my mother's concerns day and night. How to be filial is really unthinkable."
How to be filial?
Li Si didn't dare to say it either.
Li Si continued: "The relationship between the king and King Zhaoxiang is not only here for the Empress Dowager."
Ying Zheng looked at it and immediately said, "Tell me quickly!"
Li Si stroked his beard and continued, "At that time, King Huiwen died suddenly, leaving Empress Dowager Xuan and King Zhaoxiang to depend on each other, just like a great king. The previous king left the King and the Queen Mother to depend on each other, and their fate was like a ruler and similar to silk. But the difference is that Empress Dowager Xuan was born as a noble family, and his younger brother Rang and his four nobles were his right-hand men to help each other, so that he could surround the Qin court. However, the King took power in the second year, which was better than King Zhaoxiang. But behind the King and the Queen Mother, only Qin Hou was at the beginning, he had to spend all his Zen essence and sacrificed his life to protect each other. In terms of foundation, he was not as good as King Zhaoxiang!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If it weren't for the help of the Grand Tutor, I might not have been able to rule the country until today! I will remember the contributions of the Grand Tutor for the rest of my life."
Ying Zheng took power in history for ten years.
Li Si said: "In Li Si's opinion, the biggest difference between the eldest prince and the son and Zhaoxiang is not this! The achievements of the Empress Dowager are hard to describe in one sentence."
Ying Zheng asked, "I'll invite you to speak out."
Li Si said: "King Zhaoxiang is younger than the king, so he has extraordinary things. He does not depress himself, does not avoid it, and does not care about the name of the King of Qin. Although he does not take charge of the rule, he guards the center of the royal city. However, as long as the empress dowager and the powerful ministers discuss with him, they always express their opinions. Any national ceremony and etiquette that should be presided over by the King of Qin will never be used by others. For example, Queen Mother Xuan and the Four Nobles dare not completely be unable to ignore King Zhaoxiang. Therefore, from the beginning, the 'king of the king' gradually came to the 'king of the king' and the king'."
Ying Zheng nodded immediately and felt deeply moved.
Later, Queen Mother Xuan could not avoid King Zhaoxiang's participation in politics, and she did not have the name of being in charge of politics, but she had already begun to decide on government affairs with King Zhaoxiang, which was considered as the mother and son who were united.
Li Si continued: "The King of King Zhaoxiang is also relatively rare in talent, but on the contrary, because the Queen Mother loved the King too much, he turned the "king of the king and the queen mother together to "the king and the queen mother are not determined". This is the blessing of Qin and the virtue of the queen mother."
Ying Zheng asked: "Who wins and who is weak?"
Ying Zheng naturally asked, "The king and the queen will decide whether it is better or worse."
Li Si said: "By the times, the king and ancestors, the queen mother and the queen mother Xuan are all right."
Li Si continued: "Empress Dowager Xuan decided to join forces with King Zhaoxiang. In the end, for the sake of Qin's prosperity, he also committed to marrying the foreign king of Yiqu, and finally made the land of Yiqu thousands of miles into the land of Qin. Therefore, King Zhaoxiang did not blame her, and the Qin people did not blame her. This is the choice of joint decision, and they are open to each other and the world is singing for it. Will the king blame Queen Mother Xuan for marrying King Yiqu today? Which civil and military officials in the court do not praise it? It is not true that the saying, "Life, I want, I want, I sacrifice my life to make righteousness! Queen Mother Xuan's move should be a model for royal women."
Li Si looked at Ying Zheng's face, lowered his head and said, "The king and the queen mother are not determined. The king is stronger than the government affairs. Once the laws are issued, the world is in a heart of respect for virtue. Isn't this the queen mother's contribution? The queen mother succeeds the king and guards the deep palace alone. Although she does not marry, she is in a lonely and widowed room to become the king's majesty. Isn't it the same principle as Queen Mother Xuan chooses King Yiqiu, and sacrifices his life to seek justice? The difference is that this is the king and queen. They all come from time to time. Who wins and who loses, it is difficult to distinguish between the superiors and the inferiors."
Ying Zheng's eyes trembled slightly, and he couldn't tell the difference. He murmured: "The people in the world have no blamed her, and the people in Qin have no blamed her."
