Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

After this gunpowder experiment, the ministers of the State of Qin had a deeper understanding of the power of gunpowder, and at the same time became more confident that they could win the other six countries.

Ah Zheng ordered the craftsmen to step up production, striving to put the gunpowder on the battlefield as soon as possible.

And in the Proton Mansion in Xianyang City, Yan Dan also heard the loud noise from Shanglin Garden on the day the gunpowder was released.Through the spies of Yan State lurking in Qin State, he knew that Qin State had developed a powerful artifact.This kind of thing must never be used by the Qin State on the battlefield, and a way must be found to stop them.Looks like it's time for a second plan.

On the other hand, Ah Zheng was very satisfied with the result.In addition, he also received good news from the border.General Meng Ao attacked Wei, and now he has captured twenty cities.

And Gan Luo, who had been away from Xianyang for half a year, finally received news from Zhao Guo.

Gan Luo negotiated with Zhao Wang and sent Yandan back to Yan State, and Zhao Guogong dedicated the five cities in Hejian to Qin State.

A mere Yandan, of course, is not as important as the five cities of Zhao State. When Ah Zheng and Lu Buwei heard the news, they immediately agreed.It's just that Ah Zheng is a little puzzled. King Zhao exchanged five cities of Zhao State for Yan Dan to return to Yan State. How could he think it was strange? Could it be that this year's King Zhao is as mentally ill as before?

He couldn't figure it out, so he threw this matter aside, because there was one more important thing for him at this time.

That was his 17th birthday.

To judge whether a person is an adult in Qin State, the first thing to look at is his height.He is considered an adult if he is six feet tall and at least 15 years old.At the age of 17, this person will be officially included in the household registration, officially registered with the government, and become a fully and truly adult.

But such an important birthday, neither Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji, nor the Queen Mother Huayang, nor the Queen Mother Xia mentioned it in Qin Palace.

However, these three people discussed the matter of Ah Zheng's queen together.The Empress Dowager Huayang, as a daughter of Chu, of course hoped that Ah Zheng would marry the concubine of Chu. She sent news to Ah Zheng that if Ah Zheng married a daughter of Chu, all Chu people who were officials in Qin would do their best to serve him.

And Zhao Ji hoped that Ah Zheng could marry the noble daughter of Qin State to further consolidate her position in Qin State.

The Empress Dowager Xia didn't help each other, she just watched the Empress Dowager Huayang arguing with Zhao Ji.

Azheng was very bored with these arguments among the three. Now that he is the king of Qin, does he need a woman to help him maintain his power and status?

The birthday was the Great Court Meeting. After reporting the recent political affairs and expressing birthday blessings to A Zheng, the ministers of the court left quickly, as if they were afraid that A Zheng would ask Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji to return to power.

Lin Ju was deeply puzzled by this: "Zai Zai——No, Ah Zheng, you are obviously the king of Qin, why don't they turn to you but to Lu Buwei?"

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "Naturally, in their hearts, Lu Buwei is more powerful than me, the King of Qin."

Lin Ju sighed inwardly, and comforted Ah Zheng: "Cub, don't say such frustrating words, today is your birthday, let's go to celebrate your birthday. Happy birthday, Zai Zai."

Ah Zheng sighed helplessly, and Ah Ju began to call him a baby again naturally. When will he grow up in Ah Ju's heart?

Just like every time Lin Ju celebrated Ah Zheng's birthday before, Ah Zheng retreated from the crowd. Lin Ju prepared a cake for Zai Zai and lit candles: "Okay, Zai Zai, let's blow out the candles now."

Ah Zheng blew out the candle according to his words.

Lin Ju: "Cub, what wish did you make for this birthday?"

Ah Zheng smiled and said, "It's still the same as before, I want to meet Ah Ju."

Lin Ju had to be moved by Zai Zai's persistence, but felt helpless because they would never meet in this life: "Zai Zai, I have prepared a special gift for you this time. "

"What is it?"

"Will-will-is a book called "Encyclopedia of Metal Smelting of All Colors", which can help the artisans of Zai Zai to forge more sophisticated weapons. I think you should like it, Zai Zai."

"Well, I like it very much, thank you Aju."

Ah Zheng's birthday was spent in a happy atmosphere, and the winter of this year was coming soon.

This winter, the weather seemed to be extremely cold, and the frontline attack on the Wei State had gradually stopped. Ah Zheng had ordered people to prepare urgently for the frontline soldiers to keep out the cold, but there was still news that soldiers froze to death.

On the night of the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, this night, the city of Xianyang was resounded by thunder that roared all night.

The next day, Ah Zheng urgently ordered Tai Bu to make a divination on this matter.

The results of tortoiseshell and yarrow show that winter thunder is a bad omen.

Ah Zheng remained silent with a sullen face, so Tai Bu could only kneel quietly aside.

After a while, Ah Zheng summoned Lu Buwei, and continued to ask him about the preparations for the front line to keep out the cold.

Lu Buwei said: "The people in the clothing workshop have been rushing to make it overnight, but now the price of clothing materials in the city has risen sharply, I hope the king will wait patiently for a while."

Ah Zheng had no choice but to wave his hands and let everyone go down.

Lin Ju said to Ah Zheng: "Cub, your judgment is not wrong. Thunder in winter is indeed a sign before the arrival of extremely severe cold weather."

Ah Zheng nodded and remained silent.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Taking advantage of the severe winter, the Qin army was insufficiently equipped to keep out the cold. South Korea, Wei, Zhao, Wei, and Chu formed a coalition to attack Qin.

Due to the fierce offensive of the Five Kingdoms, and taking advantage of the attack on Qin's weak borders, Meng Ao was shot by Liu Shi and was seriously injured. General Meng Wu fought and retreated in order to prevent Qin from suffering greater losses. The country lost Shouling.

Facing such a critical moment, Ah Zheng urgently held a court meeting and asked everyone present: "Who is willing to lead the army to fight against the enemy?"

For a while, there was no sound at all.

The military generals of the Qin State in the early years were old, sick, and dead, but now the younger generation has not been tempered, and the generals who are capable of leading troops in the court for a while have reached the point where they are not enough.

Ah Zheng asked again: "Who is willing to lead the army to fight against the enemy?"

Still no answer.

Suddenly, a voice came from beside him: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army."

Ah Zheng found the source of the voice, and it was Wang Jian, the Imperial Army who had been by his side all along.Although Ah Zheng called Wang Jian to his side these years, he was only used to replace Meng Tian who was on the expedition to help him with some affairs.As for Wang Jian's ability to lead troops, Ah Zheng had no idea.

Ah Zheng was a little hesitant, he didn't know whether he should send Wang Jian there, but there was really no one available in the court.

Lu Buwei saw the stunned young man who had been following Ah Zheng suddenly jump out, and felt that this was a good opportunity to suppress Ah Zheng's prestige, so he simply suggested: "Your Majesty, since this young general Wang is willing to lead the army, you can let him Let's go. After all, there are still Meng Ao and General Meng Wu at the border, so nothing serious will happen."
