I have a space station

In the same year, Ying Zheng sent a stern letter of reprimand to Lu Buwei, saying: "What abilities do you have? What contributions have you made to the Qin state? Why do you enjoy the income from ten thousand households? What blood relation do you have with me that you dare to call yourself Zhongfu (second father)?"

At the same time, he also ordered in the letter that their family be moved to the Shu region.

However, the personal guard who delivered the letter secretly told him:

"The King is very dissatisfied with you spreading rumors and calling yourself Zhongfu. If you don't want to implicate your family, end your own life."

Lu Buwei knew that his death was near and that there was no way to survive. So, in unwillingness, he committed suicide by poison.

After Lu Buwei's funeral, Ying Zheng issued another order:

For those retainers and family members who attended the mourning, all those from foreign countries would be expelled. If they were Qin citizens with a salary of six hundred piculs or more, their ranks would be stripped and they would be moved to Fangling; those with five hundred piculs or less, or those who did not attend the mourning, would also be moved to Fangling, but their ranks would not be stripped.

From now on, anyone like Lao Ai and Lu Buwei who participates in heretical cults will have their property confiscated and will be permanently barred from holding office.

This announcement demonstrated Ying Zheng's determination to stand against the Zoroastrianism.

In the same year, King Ying Zheng of Qin launched attacks on the states of Han and Zhao, initiating the steps to unify the six kingdoms.

Han was defeated, ceded territory, and pledged allegiance, also sending Han Feizi as an envoy to Qin.

Ying Zheng admired Han Feizi's talent and demanded that the King of Han allow him to stay in Qin to serve.

The King of Han did not dare to disagree.

Not long after, the battle to attack Zhao also achieved victory, and 100,000 Zhao soldiers were beheaded.

These Zhao soldiers were very similar to those in the Battle of Changping, and were also covered in blood纹 (blood patterns).

Qin Lao told him that these people had all been infected.

Currently, except for the Qin state, which had completely eliminated the Zoroastrianism, almost all other states had been controlled.

233 BC.

Han Feizi was ostracized by Li Si and others, and was falsely accused of using his power to seek benefits for the Han state.

Han Feizi was originally a member of the Han royal family, and Ying Zheng believed it to be true, so he imprisoned him. Not long after, he was killed in prison.

In the same year, the Qin general Fan Yuqi was defeated and captured in the war with Zhao, and was controlled by the Zoroastrianism.

In order to create the illusion of a defeated escape, he was sent to Han and returned to Qin via Han.

Ying Zheng learned that Fan Yuqi had escaped and returned, and ordered his arrest.

As a result, the controlled Fan Yuqi not only was not caught, but also rescued Crown Prince Dan of Yan and helped him escape from Qin.

Ying Zheng was furious and immediately ordered the execution of Fan Yuqi's entire family.

After Crown Prince Dan of Yan fled back, he was determined to seek revenge. However, the Yan state was weak and had no strength to avenge itself.

The tutor of Crown Prince Dan, Ju Wu, advised him to hide Fan Yuqi and not to think about seeking revenge against Qin. When the time was right, they should unite the forces of the five kingdoms to attack Qin together. Only in this way could they hope to succeed in their revenge.

However, Crown Prince Dan had been imprisoned in Qin for so many years, and how could he swallow such a deep hatred?

Seeing that he insisted on not listening, Ju Wu told him that there was a very skilled person in Yan, named Tian Guang. If all else failed, he could ask him to help assassinate the King of Qin.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan met Tian Guang and adopted a very humble posture. He also told him that Fan Yuqi was a Qin general who had come to Yan because of him. But Yan would not accept him and was going to send him to the Xiongnu.

He told Tian Guang that Fan Yuqi had been kind to him, and he could not bear to let him fend for himself. So he decided to assassinate Ying Zheng and asked for his help.

Tian Guang was moved by Crown Prince Dan of Yan's humble attitude and his loyalty to his friend, but he did not agree to his request.

He told Crown Prince Dan of Yan that he was old. If he went to assassinate Ying Zheng, he was afraid that he would not succeed. Not only would he not succeed, but he might also implicate the Yan state.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan was very disappointed when he heard his answer.

Tian Guang couldn't bear it, so he recommended his fellow disciple: Jing Ke.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan was overjoyed.

After Tian Guang told Jing Ke about the matter, Jing Ke hesitated.

He knew the power of the Qin state, and he also knew that Ying Zheng was surrounded by countless experts. Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult to assassinate him.

Tian Guang told him that if Ying Zheng did not die, the Yan state would be annexed by the Qin state sooner or later. In order to cut off his retreat, Tian Guang drew his sword and committed suicide in front of him.

Seeing this situation, Jing Ke had no other choice, so he went to see Crown Prince Dan of Yan.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan cried bitterly after learning of Tian Guang's death. He also told Jing Ke that Tian Guang had committed suicide because he did not want to reveal the secret.

Jing Ke was greatly touched and immediately expressed his willingness to assassinate the King of Qin for him.

In the same year, a strange stone was discovered in Mount Li, south of the Qin King's Mausoleum.

Anyone who touched the stone would become incredibly strong.

The first person to discover this stone was a soldier named Wang Jian.

When Ying Zheng learned of this, he ordered him to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers without weapons, and he did not lose ground.
