My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 127 Ying Chengyu has tormented Zhao Ji so much that she can’t stand it anymore!
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "My mother is fine, thank you so much!"

Knowing that Ying Cheng was fine, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved, and rationality fully occupied his brain again.

Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang have been fighting against Zhao Ji to get Ying Zheng to Yongcheng as soon as possible, but Zhao Ji has always resisted resolutely.

The reason is very simple. Yongcheng is where the Qin Ancestral Temple is located, not Zhao Ji's hometown.

Zhao Ji arrived at Yongcheng in advance to cultivate Yongcheng.

But the time that Zhao Ji arrived in Yongcheng was too short to completely consolidate Yongcheng into her basic base.

If Ying Zheng goes there for one day every night, Zhao Ji will be able to gain one more day to make plans, and the chance of winning will be higher.

However, today, Lao Ai asked Huang Jie to take the initiative and ask Ying Zheng to rush to Yongcheng as soon as possible?

Obviously, something different happened here!

It is difficult for Ying Zheng to make a decision before he is sure what the change is.

But if he didn't express his position and immediately went to visit Zhao Ji instead of asking questions, it would violate Lu Buwei's filial piety requirements for Ying Zheng.

After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng turned his eyes to Feng Quji.

Feng Quji understood immediately, stood up and asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"

"Both the Yongshou Palace and the Dazheng Palace were set on fire by thieves?"

"how can that be!"

"How could the Dazheng Palace and Yongshou Palace catch fire at the same time?"

Huang Jie reiterated: "It's all thieves who set the fire!"

Feng Quji frowned: "Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed are far apart."

"Even if there are thieves setting fires, can these thieves set fires in two places six miles apart at the same time?"

"Huang Weiwei, what on earth is going on?!"

All the courtiers looked stunned.

Most of the courtiers were just shocked that Dazheng Palace and Yongshou Palace were on fire. This was a big deal!

But Feng Quji's words reminded these courtiers.

Not right!

The palaces during the Qin Dynasty were not relatively concentrated like those in later dynasties, but rather scattered.

Because Yongcheng did not build a city wall for more than two hundred years when it was first built, the location of the palaces was more arbitrary and could only be basically divided into three palace groups.

The palace complex headed by Dazheng Palace is located one mile north of Yongcheng River. It is the old town of Yongcheng but has a beautiful scenery. It is mainly for the residence of nobles who do not participate in politics.

The palace complex headed by Yonggong Temple is located in the center of Yongcheng. It is the main administrative and work palace complex of Yongcheng and is used by kings or nobles to live during working days.

The palace complex headed by Qinian Palace is located on the outskirts of Yongcheng, adjacent to the tombs of many ancestors. Not far away is the Qinhuang Temple where Qin Wengong worshiped the heavens. It was used by the kings to carry out major sacrificial activities and excursions such as praying for good harvests, praying for grains, and offering sacrifices to heaven. Residence for hunting, outing and other leisure activities.

The distance between Dazheng Palace and Yong Temple is six miles!

Unless the entire Yongcheng was on fire, how could Dazheng Palace and Yongshou Temple catch fire at the same time? !
For a time, the officials were furious:
"Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed caught fire at the same time. How could this be the work of thieves? I'm afraid the enemy troops invaded Yongcheng!"

"Huang Weiwei, are you sure he is really a thief?"

"What does the magistrate of Yongcheng do for food? That there are so many thieves in the city!"

"This is strange, there must be something wrong! Please summon the Yongcheng County Magistrate to Xianyang for questioning!"

Huang Jie glared back even more angrily: "You ask me, how do I know?!"

"As a guard, I am responsible for reporting reports from all the subjects. Now I am just reporting to Yongcheng."

"If you are dissatisfied, go to Yongcheng with the king and question the officials in Yongcheng. Why are you venting your anger on me?"

Feng Quji also pressed down his right hand to stop his subordinates from spraying wildly, and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Huang Weiwei, has the thief been caught?"

Huang Jie was silent for two seconds, but he had to shake his head: "According to Yongcheng's report, the culprit has not been caught yet."

Feng Quji asked: "Is there anyone who even doubts you?"

Huang Jie shook his head again: "Yongcheng did not report this matter."

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth couldn't help but turn up a few degrees.

Didn't catch the thief?
This is already very unreasonable.

Being able to set fire to two palaces that were far apart at the same time shows that the arsonist must have a large number of manpower.

Unless all the thousands of defenders in Yongcheng rebelled, how could they not catch even a single thief?
If there are no living ones, there should be some dead ones!

As for those who have no doubts?
Do you really not have it or do you dare not have it?
Who else but Ying Chengyu could set fire to the Dazheng Palace in Yongcheng!

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid Ying Chengyu has already tortured Zhao Ji so much that she can't stand it anymore!

The existence of Ying Chengyu made it impossible for Zhao Ji to continue to consolidate her power in Yongcheng, and even caused Zhao Ji's control over Yongcheng to regress.

That's why Zhao Ji had to ask Ying Zheng to go to Yongcheng as soon as possible!

In this case, why did I let down my brother Wang's efforts?
Ying Zheng shook his index finger from side to side.

Feng Quji, who had been observing Ying Zheng out of the corner of his eye, immediately shouted: "Two palaces were burned but the culprits were not caught. We don't even know where it was done."

"This fully shows that Yongcheng is in chaos, the Yongcheng defenders have done nothing, and the Yongcheng guards are lazy!"

"Now the thieves are lurking on the side, and everyone in Yongcheng is derelict in their duties."

"But Huang Weiwei invited the king to come to Yongcheng?"

"Is this how Huang Weiwei behaves as a minister?"

Huang Jie hurriedly said: "Although..."

Before Huang Jie could finish speaking, Feng Qu stepped forward, grabbed Huang Jie's lapel and shouted angrily: "Wei Weiji, what are you thinking about!"

Ying Zheng finally spoke: "Feng Tingwei, let go!"

"The palace where my mother lives was burned down by fire. She must be extremely frightened. How can I feel at ease?"

"Even if Huang Weiwei hadn't said this, I still intend to go to Yongcheng to see my mother."

Feng Quji quickly let go of Huang Jie and shouted in a anxious voice: "Your Majesty, you can't do that!"

"Your Majesty is the King of Qin, how can you tread lightly on dangerous ground?"

Li Si, Zhao Gao and other ministers also handed over their hands: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"This..." Ying Zheng looked confused: "Father Zhong, how should I choose between filial piety and safety?"

If the city wasn't deep enough, Lu Buwei's eyes would fly to the sky!

Lu Buwei felt very sad because Ying Zheng did not read "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".

Ying Zheng read "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" deeply and Lu Buwei felt even more uncomfortable.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" does not discuss the choice between filial piety and safety, but it believes that the personal safety of the king is the most important thing!

If a king cannot ensure his own safety while shouldering the responsibility of the world, then he is not qualified to be a king!

You have already decided that it is not safe for you to go to Yongcheng, how can you tell the truth?
Does it mean that you are not worthy of being the King of Qin if you cannot do both?

Lu Buwei could only hand it over: "A saint thinks deeply about the world, and nothing is more valuable than life."

"I agree with Feng Tingwei's words. Your Majesty, please think again!"

Ying Zheng sighed with emotion: "How come even Father Zhong said this!"

"That's the widow's mother!"

After a moment of hesitation, Ying Zheng finally shook his head bitterly: "In that case, I will listen to Father Zhong's words." Feng Quji and other courtiers overjoyed and handed over their hands: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Huang Jie sighed in his heart.

Ying Zheng was unwilling to go to Yongcheng quickly, and the second plan failed again.

In this case, we can only choose the next option!

Huang Jie bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "I also think what Prime Minister Lu said is true!"

"Yongcheng is in turmoil, how can the king go there easily?"

"I request the king's order to mobilize troops from the Longxi camp to Yongcheng to thoroughly investigate the thief who set the fire!"

Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "There is a thief who intends to kill the Queen Mother. I feel deeply guilty that I cannot go there in person because of my own safety. How can I pass on the Queen Mother's safety to others?"

"I think we can send the palace doctor to Yongcheng first to help catch the thief. What do you think, Father Zhong?"

Lu Buwei pondered for a moment, then turned to ask: "Since the Yongcheng defenders have nothing to do against the thief who set the fire, I guess the doctor alone can't do anything."

"I think we can mobilize [-] elite soldiers from the Xianyang camp, and then allocate [-] men under the command of Chang Shangqing to go to Yongcheng to thoroughly investigate the traitors."

"What does your majesty think?"

Huang Jie's eyelids jumped: "I thought that if I sent troops into the city, I would disturb the head of Guizhou and even attack the Queen Mother!"

"The strategy of sending troops into the city is not appropriate!"

Huang Jie didn't care about being slapped in the face and changed his tune directly.

He originally wanted to mobilize generals close to Lao Ai to enter the city, but in the end he attracted Chang Yun and three thousand Xianyang soldiers?

If these soldiers and horses really entered the city, what a slap in the face!

After several 'discussions' with Huang Jie, Lu Buwei finally gave the order in a deep voice: "Pass the king's order!"

"Your Majesty ordered Changyun to lead three hundred of his lieutenants to Xianyang to thoroughly investigate the thief who set the fire!"

Chang Yun stepped out of the queue and held up his hands: "Wei!"

After the court meeting, Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng returned to the imperial study together.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Buwei bowed his hands to Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blessing."

Ying Zheng quickly helped Lu Buwei up with both hands: "Father Zhong, why is this?"

Lu Buwei said seriously: "Without the support of the King, the "New District Interim Law" would be stillborn today."

"It was the king who gave this law the opportunity to continue to be perfected and shaped!"

Ying Zheng said warmly: "What Father Zhong did was for the Qin Dynasty, so I should help you with all my strength!"

"After I receive the report of the "Interim Law" from the ministers, I will also forward it to Father Zhong, who will watch it."

As he spoke, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "It's a pity that I haven't personally taken charge yet, so I can't give more help to Father Zhong."

Lu Buwei smiled warmly: "That's enough."

What makes Lu Buwei most gratified is not that Ying Zheng helped him control the field today, but that Ying Zheng was willing to support him in implementing the "Interim Law".

This is a powerful proof of Ying Zheng’s generosity and kindness!
It's a pity that Ying Zheng supported the new district interim law implemented by Ying Chengxuan instead of the leniency and probation implemented by Lu Buwei.

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei felt a little sad again.

Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Lu Buwei began to deal with today's memorial, while Ying Zheng sat next to Lu Buwei and watched the government.

Time passed little by little.

Meng Tian paced back and forth anxiously outside the door.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, Meng Tian found an opportunity to approach Ying Zheng and whispered: "Chang'an Lord ordered his family to send a secret message quickly."

Ying Zheng said decisively: "Submit!"

Picking up the bamboo slips from Meng Tian's hand, Ying Zheng cut open the mud seal with a knife, unfolded the bamboo slips and scanned them quickly.

[My actions are excessive. Lao Ai may endure it or become furious. I cannot judge. I am scared. (﹏) Big brother, help me! 】

When he first saw the emoji carved with a knife, Ying Zheng almost couldn't help laughing.

Brother Wang is still so childish, using so many pens just to carve out an expression?
But after reading the entire text and looking at the flame symbol in the corner of the bamboo slip, Ying Zheng couldn't laugh anymore.

Ying Chengyu gave very little useful information, but it was enough for Yingzheng to judge that Ying Chengyu had indeed set the fire, but the result was beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation, and had even touched Lao Ai's bottom line!
Now that the check and balance between Ying Chengyu and Lao Aui has been broken, Ying Chengyu doesn't know whether Lao Aui will continue to endure or get rid of Lao Aui at all costs!

What did Brother Wang do to make Lao Ai so angry?
How much effort and sweat did Brother Wang put in to do those things?
Was Brother Wang injured when he set his mother on fire?
For a moment, Ying Zheng was filled with heartache and worry.

"Your Majesty?" Sensing the change in Ying Zheng's expression, Lu Buwei put down his chopsticks and asked with concern: "But something happened?"

Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips and spoke in a deep voice: "I heard that my mother's palace was burned down, and I was extremely worried."

"I can't help but wonder, was the queen mother injured? Was she frightened?"

Ying Zheng sighed softly: "I think we should go to Yongcheng to visit our mother!"

Lu Buwei shook his head: "It is great that the king has such a heart."

"Chang Shangqing acts prudently. When Chang Shangqing arrives in Yongcheng, he will clear out the Yongcheng thieves. Then it will not be too late for the king to go to Yongcheng."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I can't wait any longer!"

"Every time I think about my mother being in a sea of ​​fire, I lose my appetite and become even more confused and unable to act."

"Only when I see with my own eyes that my mother is safe can I rest assured!"

At first, Lu Buwei thought that Ying Zheng was acting anxious for him to satisfy Lu Buwei's filial piety requirements for Ying Zheng.

But seeing Ying Zheng's request again, Lu Buwei felt something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "But I think that since Yongcheng is in turmoil, how can the king, the king of Qin, step into dangerous places?"

"No matter how important filial piety is, it is not more important than the king's safety!"

Lu Buwei threw the questions that Ying Zheng had thrown at him during the court meeting back to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng said seriously: "I know that Yongcheng is dangerous, but so what?"

"Yongcheng is the ancestral land of my great Qin, and nineteen Qin kings are buried here!"

"When I arrive in Yongcheng in person, my ancestors will protect me!"

"Furthermore, I am the king of Great Qin, and Yongcheng is my territory of Great Qin. How can I feel afraid just because I am walking in my territory?!"

Lu Buwei was speechless for a moment.

You have really finished all the nice things to say.

Could it be that Ying Zheng is really worried about Zhao Ji and wants to see her?
Do not make jokes!
Looking at the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng put aside, Lu Buwei asked in a deep voice: "But it's the letter from Lord Chang'an?"

Ying Zheng didn't answer, but it was enough for Lu Buwei to make a judgment.

Lu Buwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just because of a letter from Ying Chengxuan, Your Majesty, you changed your plans and even withdrew your order?

Your Majesty, please pamper him!
Lu Buwei bowed his hands sourly: "In that case, I will order Chang Shangqing to set off immediately, so that the king can set off as soon as possible."

Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei with burning eyes: "I want to set off tomorrow, how about it?"

Lu Buwei became even more sour.

Set off tomorrow?
Your Majesty, do you know how much preparation you have to do for this truth?

You can dote on Lord Chang'an, but why is it the real person who suffers?
However, facing such a determined Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei could only bow his hand and salute: "Wei!"
