Qin Yue Mingshi

At the end of the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty declined, seven heroes competed for hegemony, wars continued, and the people of the world were displaced. The Qin Kingdom in Guanzhong has gone through several generations of kings who have worked hard to govern. Shang Yang's reforms are profound, and the national power is far ahead of the six countries. The trend of going east to annex the six countries and unify the world is irresistible. At that time, the land of Kyushu was filled with turbulent undercurrents, aristocratic families were intertwined, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms cherished their homeland, assassins and rangers roamed the world, the confrontations of power and intrigue in the court were thrilling at every step, and the conquests and killings outside the battlefield never stopped. The bright moon of the cold Qin Dynasty hangs high in the night sky of Xianyang, witnessing the struggle of princes for hegemony, the change of dynasties, the gathering and separation of people's hearts, and the separation of life and death. Ying Zhao, a young man from the Qin Kingdom, grew up in a deep palace. He saw the coldness and cruelty of the palace, witnessed the feuding of the clan, the power of foreign relatives, and the checks and balances of powerful ministers against the king. He cared about the people of the world at a young age, and did not want the Qin Dynasty to rely solely on killing to gain a foothold. He longed to stabilize the world with benevolence and end a century of war. He was smart and tolerant, good at both civil and military affairs, and was well versed in the intrigues of the people, but disdainful of scheming. As King Qin Yingzheng gradually eliminated Lu Buwei and Lao Ai's rebellious parties, and consolidated the royal power and took charge of the government, he worked step by step, secretly assisting the king in reorganizing the government, strictly enforcing laws, sorting out the administration, appeasing the people in Guanzhong, recruiting talents from the six countries, and building confidence for Qin's eastward campaign. The six kingdoms were declining day by day. Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi were successively attacked by the Qin army and their capitals were captured. The motherland was destroyed, and the sons of the clan, loyal ministers, chivalrous ladies, and ladies from famous families fled in all directions. Some people swore to fight to the death against Qin and used assassinations, conspiracies, and rebellions to prevent the unification of Qin; some people recognized the general trend of the troubled times, put aside their obsession with their homeland, and submitted to Qin.
