"he......What did he tell you?"
Zhao Ji stood up and took a few steps forward with an enchanting figure.
She looked at Ying Zheng through the gauze curtain and asked.
Ying Zheng took a gentle breath.
The hands behind his back slowly clenched.
Zhao Ji's reaction was tantamount to telling him that Cheng Yu's incident was related to him.
Otherwise, she should have asked herself if she heard or read wrong!
But she was first concerned about what Cheng Yu said to herself.
Ying Zheng's eyes darkened slightly.
His tone was still calm and he said:"I asked him why he betrayed me and Qin in the first place."
"What did he say?"
Ying Zheng couldn't see Zhao Ji's expression clearly due to the gauze curtain.
But he could hear a bit of chill in her voice.
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed and he said bluntly, neither humble nor arrogant:"He asked me to ask my mother."
"So, you came?"
After hearing this answer, Zhao Ji seemed to be relieved.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.
Ying Zheng said without changing his expression:"Yes, I would like to ask my mother, why did Cheng Yu rebel in the first place?"
Zhao Ji looked at him for a while from behind the gauze curtain.
Suddenly she shook her sleeves and snorted coldly.
She turned around and sat back on the bed.
"Are you here to ask me, or are you here to question me?"
Ying Zheng's attitude and tone made her unhappy. There seemed to be a smell of gunpowder in the palace.
He was not like this before. He was always respectful in front of his mother.
Why did he go out for a trip and seem to have changed when he came back? Personally!
Ying Zheng said calmly:"The queen is too worried, I just want to know the answer."
Zhao Ji shook her head gently.
"You don’t need to ask more about this.
Ying Zheng said forcefully:"Is it because I have no right to know?""
"Mother, don’t forget, I am not only your son, but also the king of Qin!"
Zhao Ji stood up suddenly, and her hazy shoulders could be clearly seen rising and falling.
She seemed to be very angry at Ying Zheng's words.
She almost gritted her teeth and said:"Yes.......Who taught you to talk to your mother like this?"
"Have you learned all these years of etiquette and Confucianism in vain?"
Ying Zheng has never spoken to her like this before.
They were dependent on each other when they were in Handan, and then they returned to Qin after going through all kinds of hardships.
So Ying Zheng has always been filial to her.
What is the reason that makes him do this? Such a big change happened.
In fact, she can only blame herself.
Ying Zheng is now a shadow of a snake.
Especially after knowing that the incident of Cheng Xi is related to 043 Zhao Ji, but she has been hiding it from herself.
The entire Qin State, he There is no one he dares to trust anymore!
Ying Zheng had no intention of compromising and asked again:"I just want to know the answer."
"Is the matter of becoming a dragon related to the mother?"
Zhao Ji rested on the bed with one hand.
She covered her chest with the other hand and stared sideways at Ying Zheng.
There was a hint of helplessness in her voice as she said,"Mother, this is for your own good."
"What I need is the truth."
The corners of Zhao Ji's eyes twitched.
She knew she only realized it now.
This son seems to have really changed!
As Ying Zheng's firm voice fell, the huge palace fell into a brief silence.
Zhao Ji patted her chest and smoothed it a few times. She sighed.
Her face gradually calmed down.
She could tell that if she didn't say it today, Ying Zheng might not let it go.
"Yes, it is indeed related to this palace."
Ying Zheng's face was serious, waiting for Zhao Ji's next words.
Zhao Ji slowly stood up and said slowly:"Cheng Yu has not rebelled."
"What?"
Ying Zheng was shocked, and a flash of shock flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Ji repeated it again, and explained by the way:"Cheng Yu has never rebelled from the beginning to the end. His crime was imposed on him by this palace."
Ying Zheng suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
The fists behind him were clenched white.
No wonder he was so excited when he asked Cheng Xi about it in Zilanxuan!
"Why do you do this?"
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with anger.
Cheng Yu had a deep relationship with him since they were children.
To say that he died because of rebellion was at most just a dissatisfaction in his heart.
But now, he was clearly wronged!
And this person who wronged him actually She was still the mother she trusted most before.
The person she trusted the most killed the person closest to her.
No one could accept this for a moment.
Zhao Ji snorted coldly:"Why?"
"Of course it’s for you, for your throne!"
Cheng Yu is the half-brother of Ying Zheng, and his status is equally noble.
He has great reputation both in the Qin government and in the public.
When he was fifteen years old, he represented Qin as an envoy to South Korea.
He forced South Korea to cut off hundreds of miles of land to enter the country. Dedicated to the State of Qin.
He made great contributions at a young age, so he was canonized as the Lord of Chang'an.
Compared with Ying Zheng, who now has no power in his hands and cannot even speak a word in the court.
His role among officials and the court The influence is even greater.
In addition, his biological mother is from a Korean aristocrat.
If he has second thoughts and causes civil strife, he will definitely not lack supporters.
Moreover, for Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng has gradually become more and more powerful in recent years. There was a tendency to lose control.
If he was ruthless and supported Cheng Xi to take over, it can be said that Ying Zheng had no chance of winning.
So Zhao Ji made the same choice as Lu Buwei.
Nip the threat in the cradle.
Ying Zheng's loss of control has a great impact on Lu Buwei It is a threat to her.
Cheng Yu's reputation is also a threat to her!
Ying Zheng suppressed anger in his eyes and said solemnly:"But Cheng Yu has never had such thoughts!"
"But he has such ability!"
Zhao Ji interrupted him with a soft drink. She looked ruthlessly at Ying Zheng outside the gauze curtain and said word by word:"This is his crime."
Ying Zheng gritted his steel teeth tightly, and the corners of his eyes were shaking uncontrollably.
I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
Zhao Ji calmed down and said softly:"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Lu Buwei I supported Cheng Xi and drove you from the throne. What will happen to our mother and son?"
Suddenly, her tone suddenly became cold. She said in a cold voice:"Zheng'er, remember, those who want to achieve great things can also kill their closest relatives!"
Ying Zheng was shaken all over!
He looked at the hazy figure behind the gauze curtain in shock. He didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long time, he said in a low voice:"Without Cheng Yu, Lu Buwei also took action."
"What did you say?"
Now, it was Zhao Ji's turn to be shocked.
Lu Buwei is now extremely powerful.
But without Cheng Xi, did he kill Ying Zheng because he wanted to become the monarch himself?
Ying Zheng regained his composure and said solemnly:"Mother, do you know why I am the widow? Sneaking away from Xianyang, but letting the border guards escort him back with great fanfare?"
Zhao Ji frowned and asked,"Didn't you discover Wang Ye's rebellious intentions and were worried that something might happen again in the future?"
A cold light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes:"Actually, I was assassinated when I was in South Korea.
Zhao Ji felt nervous and asked quickly:"Have you ever been injured?""
Ying Zheng slowly shook his head.
"Fortunately, I was helped by an expert and escaped unscathed."
Zhao Ji nodded lightly and felt relieved.
"In this case, this person should be rewarded heavily."
Ying Zheng continued:"Wang Ye's rebellious intentions were not noticed by few people, but by the expert who had foreseen the matter in advance."
"It was him who reminded the people that they were in danger."
Zhao Ji had a look of doubt in her eyes.
"What happens first?"
"You mean, he guessed that Wang Yan would murder you?"
Ying Zheng nodded:"Not only that, this person is also considered to be the key to Meng Tian's comeback in Wu Sui's camp."
Zhao Ji frowned tightly, and the look in her eyes changed from doubt to surprise. She asked curiously:"You mean, he has seen through everything a long time ago? Ying
Zheng raised his hand towards Zhao Ji and said seriously:"Yes, I am here because I have something else I want to discuss with my mother.""
Everything in the front was just to know Zhao Ji's attitude and stance.
What was said in the back was the purpose of his coming here this time.
Half an hour later, Ying Zheng walked out of the palace.
He raised his head to face the cold wind and took a deep breath. tone.
Time passed little by little.
One night passed almost in an instant.
The closed door of Xianyang Palace was slowly pushed open.
The door was already filled with orderly civil and military officials.
Lu Buwei stood with his head held high. At the front.
After the palace door opened wide, he stepped into the palace gate with steady steps.
After entering the main hall, the civil and military officials were divided into two sides and sat down. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Not long after, Ying Zheng The figure appeared in front of the officials in the eunuch's sharp voice.
The last Zhao Ji arrived belatedly.
She sat behind the curtain as usual.
Ying Zheng stood in front of the high throne, his eyes changing from civil to military officials. The official glanced over him one by one.
The majestic gaze made people feel fear.
This young monarch seemed to be getting more and more imperial.
Lu Buwei frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
Because he found , Ying Zheng’s eyes did not stay on him.
It was still the same as before, without any change.
Except for a few people, Ying Zheng’s reappearance in the court did not cause much disturbance.
After all, the real decision maker in Qin State is The man behind the gauze curtain and Lu Buwei, the head of the hundred officials.
The court meeting continued as usual.
Officials from various ministries read out their reports in an orderly manner.
It was not until the end of the process that Ying Zheng's sharp eyes lit up.
Slowly Said:"Since you have nothing to say to me, I have something to say."
As soon as these words came out, the officials below suddenly had different expressions.
Over the years, King Qin has almost always been an audience.
To put it nicely, it is called learning how to govern the country.
To put it harshly, he is just a tool man.
Lu Buwei is shrewd. His eyes flashed for a moment, and he coughed slightly.
The officials who were exchanging glances immediately withdrew their gazes and sat upright.
Everything below was clearly seen by Ying Zhengqing.
He said calmly:"I I went on a trip to the palace some time ago, I think you all already know"
"When passing by Wu Sui's military camp, they found that Wang Jue had the intention of treason, so they executed him on the spot and ordered the Yi tribe to"
"Do you ministers have any objections?"
This news has spread to Xianyang a long time ago.
Now no one will say anything if Ying Zheng raises it again.
No one will intercede for Wang Ye.
It is a fact that Wang Ye murdered Ying Zheng. Anyone who dares to intercede is tantamount to going to the same party. Jump in the camp.
No one would do something stupid like this.
"What the king did was reasonable and reasonable, and the ministers had no objections."
Lu Buwei took the lead and finished, followed by a series of responses.
Ying Zheng remained expressionless, and his face did not waver at all.
He continued:"During the promotion process, all those who recommended, sponsored, and approved will be strictly investigated! Do you ministers have any objections?"
After saying this, a faint whisper came from below.
Wang Ye is a veteran of the Qin State.
If the relevant personnel who were promoted along the way are strictly investigated, many people will be involved.
"Ahem."
Suddenly, a slight cough sounded.
The discussion in the venue immediately fell silent.
An official raised the jade plate in his hand and said loudly:"Back to the king, I have objections."
Ying Zheng glanced at him with sharp eyes.
"Accurate performance."
The official walked out of his seat, saluted Ying Zheng and said,"I feel that the king's move is inappropriate."
"Wang Yan joined the army at the age of sixteen, which has been nearly fifty years."
"The promotion process spans too much, and it would be too difficult to screen them all."
"This is one of them"
"Secondly, Wang Ye has always shown a loyal and patriotic image. This thief has been hiding for decades and deceived us for decades."
"Therefore, the officials involved were not aware of his treasonous intentions."
"In the past, promotions were based on rewards based on military merit."
"If they were implicated in this, it would be a bit unkind."
It's not that he has a great sense of fairness.
It's because he took up the position of official promotion.
If you look closely, he was the first to be unlucky.
After saying this, there was a burst of reconsideration.
The promotion of military generals Approval is in the hands of civil servants, so most of these people are from Lu Buwei's faction.
If Ying Zheng purges a group of them for this reason, it will not be said to be very painful.
He, the Prime Minister, always loses face.
"What does Xiangguo think?"
Ying Zheng's palms hidden in the wide sleeves of his robe tightly squeezed the armrests of the throne.
On the surface, he asked calmly.
Lu Buwei raised his hands, knelt down on the seat, straightened his back and said,"I feel that Mr. Zhang is here. What you say makes sense, please ask the king to take back his order."
"Please ask the king to take back his life!"
"Please take back your life, your Majesty!"
With Lu Buwei taking the lead, all the officials suddenly seemed to have a backbone.
Voices of dissuasion echoed one after another in the hall.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and hid the anger in his eyes.
He knew that no matter how angry he was before he had the power, It's all just incompetent roaring!
"In this case, then according to what you said"
"Mr. Zhang, please come back."
The official at the scene calmly bowed again and retreated.
From the beginning to the end, he was not panicked.
As long as Lu Buwei disagreed, Ying Zheng had nothing to do.
Besides, the Queen Mother's attitude was also very clear.
From the beginning to the end , She didn't express her opinion.
That means she didn't agree with King Qin's proposal!
As soon as the official sat down firmly, Ying Zheng looked at the back of the crowd and said:"Meng Tian of Wu Sui Army Camp has done a good job in protecting the troops. I want to promote him to the rank of Zuo Shu." Chief, take over the position of Wang Yan, do you have any objections to this?"
Meng Tian, who was at the back, was shocked. He raised his head in surprise.
He was originally a captain of thousands, and he was a few ranks behind Zuo Shu.
Several generals on the military general's side glanced at each other.
They all agreed.
Meng Tian He is the grandson of Meng Tian, and the Meng family has been in the army for several generations. Although Meng Tian is now older and has retired to the second line, his influence in the army is still there. They would not have a problem with Meng Tian's promotion.
But Lu Buwei did not He narrowed his eyes.
The official next to him immediately understood what he meant.
"I feel this is inappropriate.
Wang Ben behind Wang Jian asked loudly:"What's wrong?""
The relationship between the Meng family and the Wang family has always been good.
Wang Ben is a generation older than Meng Yi and Meng Tian.
Meng Ao and Wang Jian are of the same generation.
Wang Ben and Meng Wu are of the same generation.
So Meng Tian is Wang Ben's nephew.
At this time, I heard that someone wanted to give a gift to his nephew. Of course, Wang Ben would not stand idly by.
This loud shout shocked Zhao Ji behind the curtain!
(Zhao Ji’s character has been greatly changed, and her relationship with Lu Buwei will be explained later.
As The poisonous point of Lu Buwei's lover will be removed, so it is very different from the official history including the original work, so I simply changed the character.
Also, whether it is Lu Buwei here or the Lu Buwei in the original work, since he has sent a snare If Ying Zheng is killed, then the theory that Ying Zheng is the son of him and Zhao Ji is untenable.
Just end it once and for all, and set him and Zhao Ji as opposites)
