Chapter 10 Lü Bùwéi, Qin Dynasty, Yǐng Yìrén

    This game's original logic should be a family development game that emphasizes farming.

    Zhao Ping'an quickly sorted out his thoughts, "But for some reason, it suddenly turned into a game system for ancient and modern dialogue."

    He opened his computer and tried to search for "Huaxia History" this game, but found that--

    It was met with a barrage of abuse.

    "What garbage game, still doing a purely text-based game?"

    "How can a game like this deserve such widespread promotion? A waste of garbage, copying history can be done by just writing a trash game, feels even worse than Yuan Shen."

    "Single-plot and simple mainline, this small family cultivation game I can play for a whole day on the free version of WeChat Mini Program and earn cash, while this one costs five yuan to purchase outright?"

    "……”

    "That means, the ability to communicate with reality seems to only belong to me?"

    Zhao Ping'an stared at the game reviews on the computer screen, feeling somewhat strange, but--

    Heaven bestows great responsibilities upon those who are people; let's not worry about that for now. Let's dive in!

    The original plan had already made it impossible to escape.

    The progress speed of history in the main storyline interface here is getting faster and faster:

    [Year 247 BC, King Zhuangxiang of the Qin Dynasty passed away at the age of thirty-five. Ying Zheng ascended to the throne at the young age of thirteen.]

    [Due to Ying Zheng's young age, the actual power of government was held by the Prime Minister Lv Buwei.]

    [Under Lv Buwei's rule, he continued to implement the policies of King Zhuangxiang of the Qin Dynasty and started to cultivate his own power.]

    [He felt it was time for the rare goods he possessed to start generating value for himself.]

    [The Qin king was young, and Li Si was just a scholar. At most, he had the support of the Zhao family.]

    [Not surprising, Li Si is ultimately a person who can't make it.]

    [In 246 BC, Lv Buwei compiled the "Spring and Autumn of the Lv Family," reflecting the essence of the eclectic school, blending the thoughts of all schools of thought, providing theoretical support for the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and preparing a program for his own seizure of power.]

    [Over these years, Li Si has been using your teachings to educate the Qin King Zheng, and since childhood, Zheng has had a very deep impression of the character "Zhao Zi"]

    [In 242 BC, in order to get rid of his affair with Empress Zhao and avoid trouble due to the increasing age of King Zheng, Lv Buwei recommended Mouai to Empress Zhao.]

    [Mouai was originally a person with special abilities, who was taken in as a guest by Lv Buwei and deliberately made known to Empress Zhao about Mouai's abilities to pique her interest.]

    "Special abilities, the game AI's speech is quite polite..."

    Zhao Ping'an complains that this special ability is just the wheel technique, which can use the bottom of a person to turn the bottom of a carriage...

    "But, I'm quite curious to see what Mouai actually looks like."

    "After all..."

    Who won't be curious about what the world's first soft-riding man looks like?

    [The Empress Dowager has a taste for the pleasures of the flesh and gladly accepts.]

    [Lv Buwei ordered Mouai to pretend to undergo castration as an eunuch, allowing him to enter the palace and engage in a clandestine affair with Empress Zhao.]

    [The two fell deeply in love, and Empress Zhao had a very deep affection for Mouai. She was bestowed the title of Changxin Marquis.]

    [Mouai's influence in the palace gradually grew, with thousands of household attendants and over a thousand guests at his home.]

    [He privately referred to himself as "Fake Father of the Qin King"]

    [As King Zheng grew up, he always sensed that Mouai's identity was amiss but had no evidence.]

    [The Qin King is about to come of age.]

    [One day, Mouai was drunk and got into a dispute with others, shouting "I am the fake father of the Qin King! Dare to offend me!"]

    [Such incidents have occurred multiple times.]

    [In the end, he was betrayed by someone who was too nosy.]

    [King Zheng Zheng learned about this and summoned Li Si to discuss it.]

    [After discussing it, they decided to directly kill Mouai during the Qin king's coronation ceremony that year, labeling him a traitor.]

    [At that time, Lv Buwei had already sensed that the timing was not right, but due to his greed, he did not want to leave.]

    [King Zheng Zheng was preparing to solve the problem of Mouai at the coronation ceremony.]

    [Mouai's spy learned about this and reported to Mouai, who was alerted.]

    [In the ninth year of King Zheng's reign, upon learning that Mouai was aware of the secret being leaked, King Zheng Zheng summoned Li Si for a private conversation between the two.]

    The modeling and animation of the scene began to output, presenting the secret meeting between King Zheng and Li Si:

    ……

    Qin Palace.

    Li Si and King Zheng Zheng sat facing each other, with the flickering light on the table casting a faint glow.

    King Zheng Zheng's brow furrowed with worry, "Mouai has at least a thousand retainers guarding him, and he has also bribed hundreds of soldiers."

    "Should we just declare war on him directly?"

    "After all, at present, there are still many forces on our side in the court and among the people, Lv Buwei..."

    Li Si shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it cannot be done."

    "It would indeed be too impulsive."

    "After all, it's still hard to say which side Lv Buwei is really on."

    "What should we do then?"

    King Zheng Zheng asked.

    At this time, King Zheng Zheng had already demonstrated extraordinary talents in politics and military affairs.

    But...

    In terms of court politics, it is obvious that Li Si and Lv Buwei, who have experienced the adoption controversy twenty years ago, have more experience.

    In these twenty years, Li Si has never asked his Zhao teacher:

    He wants to stand alone. He prefers to rely on himself.

    But at this moment, he was also confused.

    The two people remained silent, both of them knowing that the fate of such a vast and powerful Qin Empire now rests in their hands.

    Li Si thought for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment for me, Your Majesty."

    "I want to consult with my teacher."

    King Zheng Zheng asked with confusion, "Master's master?"

    He had no idea who Li Si's teacher was all along, "Who is it?"

    "Xunzi, or Han Feizi, or perhaps the mysterious Guiguzi?"

    King Zheng Zheng quickly listed out several famous names.

    Li Si shook his head and said, "None of them."

    "My teacher is Zhao Zi."

    "Zhao Zi?"

    King Zheng Zheng was shocked and asked, "Master's master is Zhao Zi?"

    "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

    Li Si wondered, "Your Majesty, although Zhao Zi is now famous throughout the world with a certain divine medicine, how could it cause such excitement in you?"

    King Zheng Zheng trembled and said, "Zhao Zi, today, among all the military strategists in the world, his name is the most respected."

    Among the strategists in the world, there are many famous names, all saved by Zhao Zi!"

    "If I could get such a talent, wouldn't that be..."

    He certainly knows Zhao Zi's name.

    Zhao Zi, the teachings and moral principles that Li Si has been imparting to him are all from Zhao Zi's philosophy.

    However...

    He had never imagined that Zhao Zi would be his grandfather!

    King Zheng Zheng naturally wanted to have Zhao Zi:

    Such a medical genius, who is already a talent beyond compare, has always been a great aspiration of his.

    And it turns out he's a Legalist, and Li Si's teacher!

    Li Si still shook his head and said, "Let's not do that anyway."

    "Zhao teacher is already hard to find, and he values freedom. He should not be willing to do so."

    After speaking, he bowed and said, "The subject is excused. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

    After leaving the grand hall, he thought for a moment and summoned the small plank, asking:

    ["Zhao Teacher, I have some doubts. Please clarify them for me."]

    After many years, Li Si's speech had matured significantly.
