Introduction:
Mi Yue worked hard all her life, relying on wisdom and determination, and finally ascended to the throne of power. However, power is often like a poison, and it is difficult to extricate itself after it is contaminated. When she was old, Mi Yue, who had been seizing power for a long time, was taken advantage of by her son Yingji and the strategist Fan Ju when a move failed, and suffered a devastating blow. What's going on? How did Mi Yue fall from the peak and be pinched by her own son? Let's take it slowly.
After the death of King Yingsi of Qin Zhaoxiang, his concubine Miyue took her 13-year-old son Yingji away and lived in Yan Kingdom as a hostage for 7 years. Who would have thought that this pair of wanderers would be able to turn evil into good fortune, Yingji's uncle Yingdang launched a coup d'état in Qin, and Miyue and Yingji were rescued and returned to Xianyang.
After that, Mi Yue listened to the government and became the de facto ruler of the Qin State. Although Yingji ascended the throne as king, she was young and helpless, and Miyue covered the sky with one hand and became the core of Qin's power. Her younger brother Wei Ran guarded Sanchuan County, and his soldiers and horses were no less than those of the royal family. Another younger brother, Yuan Chong, was in charge of the country's finances, as if he were the minister of the Qin state.
Miyue's cronies Yuan Xuan, Sui Xuchen and others were in charge of the frontier and the army. In the entire Qin State, the power was almost firmly controlled by the Miyue family. Even though Yingji is an adult, Miyue still has no intention of giving in and continues to hold power for 36 years.
Under the control of Mi Yue, the national strength of the Qin State was unprecedentedly strong. Fan Ju, a generation of advisers, was originally a Wei man, but was seriously injured by someone who was beaten and seriously injured due to a disaster, and finally defected to the Qin State. Mi Yue was far-sighted, regardless of previous suspicions, and appointed him as the minister of state. Fan Ju eliminated party strife internally and annexed the six countries externally, laying a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin Dynasty.
As the years passed, Miyue's power gradually rusted. In 269 BC, Wei Ran sent his subordinate general Hu Shen to lead 100,000 Qin troops to the state of Zhao, intending to destroy this old enemy in one fell swoop. However, the invincible famous general Zhao Hao of the Zhao army went out and set up an ambush in Yinqing Valley, beating Miyue's cadre Hu to the ground.
This vanguard division was almost completely annihilated by the Zhao army, and only 20,000 people were left to flee back to the Qin realm. The news of the defeat exploded in Xianyang City like thunder, and Miyue and the other clansmen were suddenly at a loss. They thought that this army was fierce, how could they expect to suffer such a heavy blow?
The whole Qin State was in an uproar, and the criticism of the government and the opposition was higher and higher. Why was such a mediocre hand as Hu Hurt entrusted with a heavy responsibility? Mi Yue and her family's power is so high, and they are so careless. The people even scolded Wei Ran for not doubting the use of people, causing the country to repeat the mistakes of the past.
There are many crises, and Mi Yue and Hou Hou and others know that they are at a loss. Originally, they relied on their domineering wrists to subdue the ministers, and at this time they no longer had the capital to convince the public. The dissatisfaction of the government and the opposition against them has reached the point of boiling, and even the important ministers in the court have begun to push the young King Yingji to regain the royal power.
The situation was at stake, and Mi Yue and the Marquis had to bend their knees. For the time being, they had no choice but to hand over the power of the army to Bai Qi, a famous general who had always turned against each other. Who knew that Bai Qi took the opportunity to make a blockbuster and started the battle of Qixia that shook the past and the present, and hit the main force of Zhao State. Since then, Bai Qi has become famous and has become the god of war of the Qin army.
The battle of the lower part of the city raised my Qin Wei, and Mi Yue thought that she was in a crisis. Unexpectedly, this was the beginning of the collapse of her power. Hu's defeat discredited him, and the king's power was eroded. Since then, Yingji is no longer Miyue's warm pot, and the contradiction between the two has been brewing for a long time...
In order to restore royal power, he saw his mother as the biggest obstacle.
Yingji has been on the throne since she was 18 years old, and her mother Miyue began to act as the national government. At first, Mi Yue only handled the chores on behalf of her immature son, but once the power was in her hands, it was like a poison, which made people want to stop. 36 years have passed, Yingji is already middle-aged, Miyue is still doing her own thing, and the old habits are difficult to change.
Yingji was furious when she saw her mother's shameless hegemony. As an orthodox monarch, he was not only deprived of his title and wealth, but he could not even guarantee his life. Under Miyue's high-pressure rule, he is just a living target, and he may be swept away by his mother at any time.
So, Yingji made a desperate bet and secretly began to accumulate strength. The first is to hijack the prime minister around him and cut off Miyue's power channels. At that time, Wu Anjun, the prime minister of the Qin State, was old and sick, but it was the Miyue party that was actually in charge of political affairs. Yingji tried his best to finally control Wu Anjun and make him obey his command.
After Yingji held Wu Anjun hostage, it was logical to control the military power of the Qin army. He remained silent, laid his own eyes and ears in the army, and secretly crossed Chen Cang. He is still on the surface of Miyue's mother-son relationship, but secretly he gradually hollows out his mother's foundation.
After a few more years, Yingji's son Xunaifu already has considerable military and political power. Mi Yue was ignorant and ignorant, and she was unaware of her son's meticulous layout. The crisis is about to erupt, but Miyue is unaware of it, still immersed in the boundless carnival of power...
Fan Ju persuaded Yingji to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and wiped them all out.
Fan Ju suffered a lot since he was a child, and finally took refuge in the Qin State. Mi Yue was far-sighted and thoughtful, and seeing that he was strategic, she promoted him to the prime minister of Qin. And now, Fan Ju has become a key adviser to overthrow Miyue's power.
Fan Ju saw that Mi Yue's power was for a while, even if Yingji was named the monarch, she was completely hollowed out by her mother. He is well aware that this kind of encroachment on the country's capital must not be tolerated. So Fan Ju secretly took Yingji and persuaded him to go all out and wipe out Miyue.
Fan Ju first ordered Yingji to take down the generals who held military power first. So Yingji found that Miyue's cadre Hu was injured and lost, and took the opportunity to make him righteous. Then, he rebelled against Miyue's henchman Bai Qi and made him submit to the royal family.
With military power, Fan Ju led Yingji to control the wealth. Back then, Miyue's younger brother Marquis controlled the treasury money and grain, and now Yingji captured him alive, completely cutting off Miyue's financial resources.
After the military power and financial power were gone, Fan Ju made another suggestion to ask Yingji to strike first and kill Miyue and the rest of the party with one tongue. Yingji then captured Mi Yue, Huayangjun and others in one fell swoop, and all of them were imprisoned in the palace.
In the end, Fan Ju suggested that Yingji should make a decision immediately and kill Mi Yue and others for the "crime of cruelty". Although Mi Yue begged for her siblings, Ying Ji was hard-hearted, and at the instigation of Fan Ju, she killed Mi Yue and her henchmen, clearing the last obstacle to the royal family.
Mi Yue died unjustly, although her qi was exhausted, her past exploits were really not small. It was she who completed the unification of the Qin State and gave birth to a generation of Ming monarchs. It's a pity that her last madness actually buried her power with her own hands...
Since then, the monarchy has no longer been sidelined, and the power has been centralized.
The fall of Miyue marked a new era in the transition of the Qin state from the old aristocratic regime to the imperial autocracy. Yingji seized power in one fell swoop and created a centralized ruling model in the Qin Dynasty.
Before Zhu Miyue, Yingji had cleared out the cronies of the Mi Group, such as Suihou, Bai Qi, Hu Shu and others. At Fan Ju's suggestion, he quelled the possible counterattack of the princes of the clan and wiped out the remnants of Miyue's henchmen.
In this way, Yingji completely eradicated the tyrannical power territory of Miyue in the past. He personally acted as the government of the government, abolished the former monarchy's mound, and completely controlled the power of the country.
There was no longer a decentralization of power, and Yingji monopolized the military and political power of the country and became the true supreme ruler of Qin. Unlike in the past, Miyue monopolized everything, he clearly established an absolute monarchy and divided power among the promising ministers.
For example, Fan Ju was raised as prime minister, Bai Qi became a general, Zhao Gao was in charge of criminal law, etc., they all became Yingji's cadres and personal celebrities. Different from Miyue's paternalistic style, Yingji adopts an authoritarian and centralized approach, with strict checks and balances on the power of her subordinates.
He drastically implemented reforms, from the central to the local, reforming the political system of the Qin state. The old system was abolished, the counties of the six countries were included in the territory, and local officials were directly appointed by the central government. At the same time, Yingji also built a large number of buildings, such as the Qin Tomb and the Afang Palace.
Miyue's former abuse of power no longer exists, and the imperial power has been greatly concentrated. Today's Qin State has been reduced to a world where Yingji alone holds power, paving the way for the glorious peak of the Qin Dynasty...
