Live broadcast of the old ancestor gossip: Feeding the black moonlight to Qin Shi Huang
Chapter 6: End of the Year War
Ying Si's voice became colder and colder.
If Zhou Jia heard this, she would definitely look at Mi Bazi who was beside Ying Si with her gossipy eyes.
"After dealing with Lao Ai and his rebellious brother Cheng Jiao, Ying Zheng completed the first step of ruling the country. The second step was naturally Lü Buwei, who had always controlled the government. So, in 237 BC, Lü Buwei was dismissed by Ying Zheng. At this time, Ying Zheng truly had all the power in his own hands.
Then, Ying Zheng issued the "Order of Expulsion" to expel all the people from the six kingdoms. At this time, a stubborn young man came into Ying Zheng's sight. Li Si's "Order of Expulsion" dispelled Ying Zheng's idea of dispersing all the talents from the six kingdoms, and he continued to use the talented people from the six kingdoms who were willing to stay in Qin.
Zhou Jia suddenly became excited when she said this, twisted her body and said:
"Speaking of this, I want to complain. They are all emperors. The emperors after you look at Qin Shi Huang and then look at you. The first emperor was able to bend and stretch without fear of being slapped in the face, but the emperors after you are so arrogant. They say that the emperor's words are not a joke and the imperial decree cannot be taken back. It is true that the emperor's words cannot be changed every day, but have most of your emperors really issued any decrees that are beneficial to the people? Not necessarily."
The emperors who were listening to the story attentively were suddenly called out: …
After mocking the emperors, Zhou Jia cleared his throat and began to harass the nobles of the six kingdoms. The smile on his face became more and more charming and unbridled. He almost jumped up from his chair in excitement, rubbing his hands and saying, "Then it will be the time of unification that everyone loves to see. Tremble, six kingdoms!"
Kings of the Six Nations: Thank you, we don’t want to listen.
Unfortunately, the sky curtain was controlled by Zhou Jia, so no matter how much they didn't want to listen, they had to prick up their ears and listen carefully.
“In the seventeenth year of King Zheng of Qin, that is, 230 BC, he destroyed Han;
In the 228th year of King Zheng of Qin, that is, BC, Zhao was destroyed;
In the 225nd year of Qin Wangzheng's reign, that is, BC, Wei was destroyed;
In the 223th year of Qin Wangzheng, that is, BC, he destroyed Chu;
In the 222th year of King Qin's reign, that is, in BC, he conquered Yan;
In the 221th year of King Zheng of Qin, that is, in BC, he destroyed Qi.
By 221 BC, all six kingdoms were destroyed, and Ying Zheng, the young king of Qin, finally realized the long-cherished wish of the Qin monarchs to unify the world.
"Great! Hahaha, great! You are indeed my good great-grandson!" Ying Ji laughed loudly towards the sky, very happy. Ying Zhu and Ying Yiren also smiled happily, with smiles in their eyes.
The successive kings of Qin were all very happy, which naturally formed a sharp contrast with them, and the nobles of the six countries that were destroyed were naturally in sharp contrast.
Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, listened to his attacks one by one and said angrily, "What does it matter if I unify the world? At the latest one day I will step into Xianyang and take the head of this tyrant!"
The strategist Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu had the same idea, but Zhang Liang was more interested in assassinating Ying Zheng in secret rather than confronting him head-on.
At the same time, Han Fei, who was in Han State or being escorted to Qin State, closed his eyes with complicated feelings when he listened to what Ying Zheng did.
South Korea is doomed after all.
The founder of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, had the same complicated feelings as him. He had guessed from the fragmentary remarks of these people in later generations that the situation of the Zhou Dynasty might not be good in its later years, and that Ying Zheng, who unified the world, should have replaced their Zhou Dynasty.
"Ugh."
Jifa sighed deeply.
He had just founded the Zhou Dynasty, and now he was told that the Zhou Dynasty was finally destroyed. It really made people feel complicated.
King Xiao of Zhou, the eighth monarch of Zhou Dynasty after Ji Fa, had the founding monarch of Qin, Qin Fuzi, brought to his front when he learned about Qin Ying Zheng. Unlike the monarchs of Qin in later generations who were happy about beautiful women, Qin Fuzi was very nervous. He was naturally happy that a descendant of a horse breeder could become the one who unified the world, but now he was just a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty. It would be too easy for King Xiao of Zhou to kill him.
King Xiao of Zhou looked at Qin Fuzi below without saying a word. He really wanted to kill Qin Fuzi at the beginning. No one could accept that his kingdom was plundered by others. However, a cold voice in his mind stopped his thoughts and did not allow him to attack Qin Fuzi. It only told him to make a choice after the end.
"He has a good descendant."
King Xiao of Zhou said this without knowing how to calm down his anger. Qin Fuzi was ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
King Xiao of Zhou was about to say something but was interrupted by Zhou Jia.
"Clap~"
Zhou Jia suddenly snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
"Ancestors, here comes the easy question. May I ask, what system did Ying Zheng establish after unifying the country? Why did he proclaim himself that? Just a gentle reminder, His Majesty has already told you about it. I have also said a lot about it."
People in Qin and after could immediately answer that it was the imperial system, and Ying Zheng proclaimed himself the first emperor.
Before the Qin Dynasty, anyone with a little bit of common sense would think about it and remember that Ying Zheng had made a comment before, with the prefix "First Emperor". With a little speculation, they could guess that it should be the imperial system.
To be fair, the system will wait until everyone has finished answering before displaying their answers on the screen.
However, it was different from what Zhou Jia thought. She thought most people would be able to answer Emperor and First Emperor, but she didn't expect that the most common answer was Emperor and Qin Shi Huang.
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng felt helpless as he looked at the countless comments about Qin Shihuang.
He didn't even know that he was calling himself Qin Shi Huang.
Zhou Jia laughed when she saw the answer.
"Oh my god, most people are wrong about this. Ying Zheng did establish the imperial system, but he proclaimed himself the First Emperor, not Qin Shi Huang. It's just that later generations generally call him Qin Shi Huang. Don't confuse the name we give him with the title he gave himself.
To put it simply, the reason why Ying Zheng named himself the First Emperor was because he did not like later generations to give posthumous titles to their predecessors. If they did a good job, it was fine, but if they did not do a good job... King Zhou of Shang was a good example, so he abolished the posthumous title and once said: "If I am the First Emperor, the later generations will count me, the Second, Third, and Ten Thousand Generations, and the title will be passed down endlessly."
So according to his opinion, the emperors who succeeded the Qin Dynasty also did not have posthumous titles, but were only called Qin Ershi and Qin Sanshi...
As for the title of Qin Shi Huang, it comes from the "Records of the Grand Historian" written by Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty. The chapter about Qin Shi Huang is "The Book of Qin Shi Huang", so the title of Qin Shi Huang has been used since then. By the way, remember the name Sima Qian, some of you will often interact with him. "
Chinese
Sima Qian, who had just been castrated and imprisoned, was startled when he heard the three words "Sima Qian" and felt hope in his heart.
Sima Qian, is it him? But why the Western Han Dynasty?
If it's really him...
Sima Qian's eyes lit up. Didn't that mean that he had finally fulfilled his father's wish?
As strange as him was Emperor Liu Che. After hearing Sima Qian's name, he immediately took him out of prison and had him guarded and treated.
秦
When Ying Zheng heard the Chinese characters, he immediately looked up. He did not forget that Zhou Jia had mentioned in his previous letter to him that Liu Ji, the head of the Si Shui Pavilion, later changed his name to Liu Bang and founded the Han Dynasty. He also mentioned Liu Che, who was not sure how many generations younger than Liu Bang he was, but he always mentioned him together with him.
"Western Han Dynasty? Is there another Eastern Han Dynasty?" Ying Zheng said.
