"Meet the King of Chu!"

Ziying said respectfully.

Xiang Yu put down the bamboo slips and looked at the Former Qin King carefully, who was also the Qin Sanshi in history.

Ziying is forty-two years old and is already an old man. She is of great generation. She is the elder of Qin Shihuang. Her father is King Xiaowen of Qin and her mother is a palace maid. She was born in a concubine.

When King Zhao of Qin passed away, he was only a few years old, a few years younger than Emperor Qin Shihuang.

King Xiaowen of Qin died after three days of succession; King Zhuangxiang of Qin died after three years of reign; then Qin Shihuang succeeded to the throne and annexed the world.

In the long history, Ziying, as a branch of the royal family, was responsible for some sacrifices because of her high seniority.

When Qin Ershi killed his brothers and sisters, Ziying advised him, but it turned out to be useless.

In the end, Qin II was killed by Zhao Gao.

Ziying was the King of Qin and killed Zhao Gao and regained power. Unfortunately, everything came too late.

In the Battle of Lantian, the Qin army fought against the Pei Gong army, but the Qin army was defeated and Ziying surrendered.

"Ziying, how are you doing lately?" Xiang Yu asked.

Ziying said: "Thank you, the king, for preserving the Qin Dynasty's ancestral temple and keeping his heirs!"

A desperate sacrifice is a more terrifying thing than destroying a country or destroying a family.

Therefore, it is important to preserve the ancestral temple and preserve the tombs of ancestors.

The brutal Qing Dynasty also buried Chongzhen with great burial and protected the tombs of emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Xiang Yu said, "I have something to do with it. At that time, Pei Gong entered Wuguan, and there were only more than 20,000 troops and horses, but there were still lack of training and incomplete equipment. But in Xianyang, there were more than 100,000 craftsmen behind him. As for the elite Qin army stationed in Xianyang, there were as many as 100,000!"

"During the Lantian War, 100,000 Qin troops fought against 20,000 Pei Gong's army. Why did the Qin army lose? Even if the Qin army was defeated, Xianyang was tall and had enough food and supplies, so it was not difficult to defend Xianyang. At that time, the Qin army in Longxi and the Qin army in Hanzhong all came to rescue, and the Pei Gong's army would face the danger of the destruction of the entire army!"

The main force of the Qin army, although under the leadership of Zhang Han and Wang Li, went north to attack Zhao State and fought in Julu.

But there are also 100,000 elite troops left in Xianyang, so stealing the house is not that easy.

Ziying said: "There are about 200,000 Qin troops left in Xianyang, scattered everywhere, and about 100,000 in Xianyang; there are also 100,000 in Bashu, and about 100,000 in Longxi... Pei Gong led his army to kill Wuguan and arrived in Lantian, less than a hundred miles from Xianyang."

"At that time, the Qin army had the advantage when 100,000 Qin troops fought against Pei Gong and 20,000. Unfortunately, Pei Gong issued three rules, saying that he would abolish the harsh policies of the Qin Dynasty... Just a moment of confrontation, there was a mutiny between the Qin army, the entire army collapsed, and Lantian was defeated!"

"Everyone in the world rebelled, but the reign of Zhong has not rebelled yet, but the old Qin people no longer want to fight..."

Ziying sighed.

Xiang Yu was silent.

People are in chaos and the team is difficult to lead.

Ziying continued: "At that time, a minister persuaded me to retreat to Longxi, which was the old place of the old Qin people, but I made a comeback, but I refused because the people were in chaos... I went out of the city to surrender to Pei Gong!"

Xiang Yu silently said: "Why did Qin II die!"

Ziying said: "This is all the fault of the First Emperor! The First Emperor succeeded to the throne, but at that time the situation was stable. There was a prime minister faction of Prime Minister Lu Buwei, a foreign relative from Chu, such as the Empress Dowager Huayang, Changwenjun, and Changpingjun, as well as the power of Qin Duke. The three factions confronted each other and had their own concerns. The First Emperor could wait calmly until he was in charge of the rule!"

"After taking power, he used the Qin Dynasty office and Lu Buwei to destroy the forces of Zhao Ji and Lao Ai; and he also used the forces of foreign relatives and public office to destroy the forces of Lu Buwei to take over the power!"

"But when the second emperor ascended the throne, there was no relative to rely on, but he had to eliminate the Prime Minister's and the Public Office in advance. After these two major forces were destroyed, the second emperor was unprecedentedly isolated and could only rely on Zhao Gao. As a result, Zhao Gao's power became larger, resulting in the second emperor being murdered!"

Ziying tells the story, telling the story of the struggles in the Qin Dynasty.

Xiang Yu became interested.

Ziying continued: "The Qin Dynasty has the power of the office, the prime minister, the foreign relatives, and the three forces are mutually restrained. The King of Qin relies on controlling these three forces to control Qin."

"Maybe at some point, some forces will grow stronger and narrow the power of the Qin King, but there are two other forces that cannot be restrained and even usurped the throne. With the separation of three powers, the Qin Kings of all generations have been overstand and accepted power. But after the First Emperor, everything changed."

"The forces of the Queen of Qin, Queen Mother of Qin and other relatives were mostly from Chu State. Even the Queen of Qin Shihuang was also the princess of Chu State. However, with the battle to destroy Chu, the relatives were attacked.

Especially the rebellion of Changpingjun (some of which were like joining the Fruit Party in 1949), which completely destroyed the relatives of the Chu clan.”

"The First Emperor has never made a queen, which has led to no external relatives. Only the prime minister and the public office have led to the political instability."

"Qin Shihuang was swaying from side to side when choosing heirs, and he valued Fusu very much, otherwise he would not have let him control the Great Wall Corps; but he also let Hu Hai beside him and trained carefully, and he was also the heir."

"This gave many ministers and wrong signals. Some ministers stood on Fusu's side; some stood on Hu Hai's side, aggravated political instability.

After Hu Hai took office, he began to purge the Fusu faction, and many ministers were affected."

"Originally, Zhao Gao was a prime minister faction, but he took advantage of the turbulence of the situation and purged many giants of the prime minister faction, purged the office faction, and completely lost control of the situation.

Purify the corresponding factions and hold power without any mistakes.

King Zhao of Qin did this, Qin Shihuang did this, and Hu Hai did this without any mistake. However, after the faction was cleaned up, the mistake was not in power, but instead it was undermined, which caused turmoil."

Ziying sighed.

Xiang Yu understood something.

Only when the power of the court is balanced can the throne be won; the power of the court is unbalanced, the throne is unstable, and may even be killed.

However, it is also related to some people's big moves.

King Zhao of Qin was a rich generation who worked hard to start a business and laid a big foundation; King Zhao of Qin was a rich second generation who had a rich family background, but could squander, do big things, and do a lot of things that were spent on his fortune, because his family background was rich, he would not be defeated in a short time.

Qin Ershi was a rich third generation. He took over the mess of the rich second generation, but he had no capital to continue spending money with big money. He had to be thrifty in order to maintain the situation.

But Qin Ershi still had to continue to lose his fortune and continue to make big moves, so he lost all his property and the company went bankrupt.

Xiang Yu said again: "Hu Hai sent someone to Fusu to commit suicide... If Fusu did not commit suicide at that time, he would directly raise an army and lead the Great Wall Corps to the south and clear the emperor's side, it would be impossible for him to take away the throne?"

Ziying said: "At that time, Hu Hai had already taken control of the Xianyang Imperial Army and asked the guards to use the tiger talisman to take over the Great Wall Corps. Fusu and Meng Tian only had a few direct troops following him!"

"If Fusu commits suicide, he can still protect his subordinates' lives; if Fusu rebels, the Great Wall Corps will take action to kill Fusu, Meng Tian and others...they have no choice!"

Whether it is Fusu or Meng Tian, ​​they are just generals, not warlords, and have limited control over the army... As long as the emperor gives the order, the military power can be seized.

They have no chance!
