My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 160 Father Zhong is old and no longer useful. It’s time to retire!

Xiong Xia said loudly: "Evils are certainly terrifying, but what is even more terrifying are traitors!"

"Even if Lao Ai is willing to be the slave of evil spirits, she is unable to become the eunuch of Nangong."

"It was only through Xiangbang's recommendation that Lao Ai could seize the high position!"

"What are you doing?" Xiong Xia said harshly: "Control the Queen Mother!"

"At that time, evil spirits were harassing the Queen Mother in Ganquan Palace, while Lao Ai and Xiang Bang controlled the Queen Mother outside."

"How can the Queen Mother say and do whatever she wants? We should regard them as evil spirits and treacherous ministers!"

"I believe that the Queen Mother has not done anything unethical. Please take back the order!"

By choosing to launch an attack during a banquet, could the Chu family's relatives just want to eradicate the Lao'ai family?

No, that is the benefit they are destined to get through the war, and they are in no rush to cash it in.

Lao Ai and his subordinates are no longer enough to be treated as a serious meal, they are just an introduction.

Zhao Ji is also just an introduction.

Xiong Xia hopes that Zhao Ji will be willing to be used by them on the condition that Zhao Ji is not imprisoned, and his sword is pointed at Lu Buwei!
However, facing Xiong Xia's plan, Zhao Ji just shook her head in boredom: "Ha~ That's it?"

Xiong Xia was fighting for her pardon, but Zhao Ji continued to walk out of the palace without even looking at Xiong Xia.

Xiong Xia looked stunned and immediately asked: "Where is the Queen Mother going?"

"Won't the Queen Mother explain herself?"

"Those crimes were not committed by the Queen Mother. Why should the Queen Mother be imprisoned in Huiyang Palace for crimes committed by others?"

Ying Zheng also stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Does the Queen Mother have anything to explain?"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng hoped to see Zhao Ji follow the steps given by Xiong Xia and put all the blame on Lao Ai, Lu Buwei and Yaoxie.

This is not because Ying Zheng hopes to return Zhao Ji's freedom.

But the former Ying Zheng was controlled by Zhao Ji with power, and had to be forced by the power in Zhao Ji's hands to do things that he didn't want to do at all, and hurt the people he loved deeply.

But today, the status has been reversed!

Ying Zheng wanted to see Zhao Ji forced by power just like him before, and taste what Ying Zheng felt like before!

Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Zhao Ji stopped and turned around slowly.

Looking up at the most familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the high platform, Zhao Ji bowed and said in a deep voice:
"Gu, plead guilty!"

"I admit that I have lost my virtue, so I should go to Huanyang Palace as soon as possible."

Xiong Xia looked stunned: "Queen Mother, you!"

Zhao Ji made a decision that was beyond the expectations of Chu family relatives.

She would rather imprison herself in Huanyang Palace than blame Lu Buwei?

But according to the report sent back by the internal affairs department, Zhao Ji has no feelings for Lu Buwei for a long time!
Why did Zhao Ji do this for Lu Buwei?

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Zhao Ji's mouth: "Do you think what you give to me is what I want?"

"No one can give you what I want!"

Imprisoning yourself in the Huiyang Palace may be a very severe punishment for others.

But for Zhao Ji, compared with the emptiness of her spirit and body, being imprisoned in Huiyang Palace is nothing!
What if you send me a handsome, heroic and high-spirited man like Xiu'er, and he just shakes off all the bad things that Lu Buwei once did?
Can the prisoner be released from prison?
What a shit!
In this case, it is better to seek peace of mind!

Gu will never show any sign of a loser in front of Gu's children!
Even if your mother gets old and loses her power, she will always be your mother. How can you admit defeat to your son?
Looking at Zhao Ji striding away, Ying Zheng clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists and murmured angrily: "Queen Mother, just as a biological mother, do you want to suppress others for the rest of your life!"

"Even if you made such a big mistake and almost caused my death, you still don't want to say sorry to me?"

Zhao Ji is waiting for Ying Zheng’s apology.

Ying Zheng is even waiting for Zhao Ji's apology!
But neither party thinks they are wrong, and they can never wait for the other party's apology.

We can only wait for the other party to retaliate more and more fiercely, making the conflict more intense!
Zhao Ji's departure plunged Qinian Palace into silence for dozens of breaths.

After a long while, Xiong Xia adjusted his mentality and thinking, and handed over again: "I will remonstrate again!"

"If the prime minister is not Wei, it is Lao Ai who is the leader. If Lao Ai conspires to rebel, then the prime minister is not Wei and he should be the one to sit down!"

"According to my investigation, Xiangbang Buwei received widespread bribes and committed many violations of the law while he was in power."

"Everything has been included in the list and is being displayed outside the palace, waiting for the king's summons."

"I beg you to order me to kill Prime Minister Buwei!"

When Zhao Ji was unwilling to help, Xiong Xia could only roll up his sleeves and help himself.

But as the person who was advised to be executed by Xiong Xia, Lu Buwei seemed not to have heard Xiong Xia's words. He still sat silently behind the desk, holding a knife in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, and his recording movements were more diligent than the historian not far away.

This set of actions made Xiong Xia unable to deal with it again.

First Zhao Ji, and then Lu Buwei, how come they don't play according to the routine?
Are there any normal people in this court?

Upon seeing this, Chang Yun sighed softly and stepped out of the queue to yell: "Absurd!"

"In the past, Zheng Anping led [-] troops to defect to Zhao State, and Prime Minister Fan Ju was not guilty."

"Prime Minister Lu has served as the Prime Minister of our Great Qin for twelve years, helping our Great Qin to seize more than [-] cities, and add three additional counties of Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dongjun."

"In the past, Zheng Anping led [-] troops to defect to Zhao, resulting in a major defeat in the Battle of Handan, and the prime minister, Ju Shang, was pardoned."

"Prime Minister Lu has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. His contribution is no less than that of Prime Minister Bangju. Why should he be imprisoned to death because of Lao Ai's rebellion?"

Chang Yun faced Ying Zheng and held up his hands and shouted: "I beg your Majesty to forgive Prime Minister Lu for his crime of consecutive sittings!"

Behind Chang Yun, nearly [-]% of the officials came out and handed over their hands: "I second the proposal!"

Xiong Qi waved his hand: "What Mr. Chang said is quite biased."

"In the past, Zheng Anping rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy. Prime Minister Bangju knew nothing about it, so he was pardoned from death."

"But does Prime Minister Lu really know nothing about Lao Ai's intention to cause chaos?"

Xiong Qi stood up and held up his hands: "Your Majesty, I believe that Prime Minister Lu interfered in Nangong affairs and promoted Lao Ai to be the eunuch of Nangong out of evil intentions!"

"Please, Your Majesty, investigate this matter carefully!"

Chang Yun said loudly: "Prime Minister Lu is devoted to protecting the king, how can he have the intention to do harm to the king?"

"When Lao Ai was in trouble, Prime Minister Lu immediately summoned his Hakka servants to assist the king."

"Prime Minister Lu had three thousand followers, but after this battle there were only more than [-] people left. Isn't this enough to prove Prime Minister Lu's loyalty!"

Xiong Qi said unceremoniously: "This just proves Prime Minister Lu's dereliction of duty!"

"If Prime Minister Lu had fulfilled his duties faithfully, how could the battle in Qinian Palace have happened?"

When Xiong Qi and Chang Yun expressed their respective attitudes, it marked another escalation of the war.

Nearly [-]% of the courtiers in the court came out one after another, each arguing endlessly.

But Lu Buwei, who was one of the key points of the incident, was still sitting quietly behind the desk.

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Does Father Zhong have anything to refute?"

Lu Buwei replied without raising his head: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

What are you waiting for?
What else do you have that you haven’t inspired yet?
Ying Zheng's voice became a little louder: "The important events of the country cannot wait!"

Lu Buwei speeded up his writing, and after hastily writing the last few words, he blew off the bamboo shavings on the bamboo slips, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you still keep the copy of Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals that I gave you?"

At this moment, Lu Buwei no longer looked like the powerful minister he used to be.

Instead, it was like an old father in his [-]s and [-]s who had no pension, no ability to work, and was sick, carefully asking his son if he still kept the exercise book he had given him.Ying Zheng didn't know why, but he still nodded: "Still in the imperial study room."

Lu Buwei smiled happily: "In this way, I feel relieved!"

"This is part of the content that I have added and changed based on what I thought today. Please take a look at it at your leisure."

While speaking, Lu Buwei handed out a bamboo slip with both hands.

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slips and frowned slightly: "Father Zhong has been writing endlessly with a knife and pen. Was he adding to and revising "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"?"

Lu Buwei nodded lightly: "If there are any mistakes or omissions, you should add them and correct them as soon as possible."

Immediately, Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng sincerely: "Someone will definitely criticize the "New District Interim Law" in the future."

"But no matter how much they say, they can't compete with the facts!"

"I invite the king to go to Yingchuan County in person to see the changes this law has brought to the lives of the leaders of Guizhou."

Ying Zheng's frown deepened: "Father Zhong, the matter discussed here is not the "New District Interim Law"."

"But we are discussing Father Zhong's crime!"

"Mr. Changping reported to Father Zhong that he recommended traitors, neglected duties, and neglected supervision. Can Father Zhong plead guilty?"

Lu Buwei nodded lightly: "I know, I know."

Taking a breath, Lu Buwei, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up.

In an instant, the whole place was silent.

Everyone looked at Lu Buwei, waiting for Lu Buwei's self-defense.

Facing both realizations, Lu Buwei walked down the stairs step by step, and finally stood in the square.

Turning around, Lu Buwei faced Ying Zheng and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, Buwei, plead guilty!"

Looking down at Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng felt a sense of joy in his heart.

In the past, Ying Zheng had to raise his head to talk to Lu Buwei.

Now, it was finally Lu Buwei's turn to raise his head and talk to Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng spoke in a deep voice: "Xiangbang Buwei recommended a traitor to be the eunuch of Nangong. If the minister neglects his duty and neglects his duties, he shall be punished with a seat in jail!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"If you don't want to be the prime minister, you won't be punished by the title of Marquis Wei Wenxin!"

"Depose Lu Buwei from the position of Prime Minister and demote him to a commoner!"

Ying Zheng has taken charge, and this court no longer needs Lu Buwei's assistance!
Lu Buwei bowed deeply, cupped his hands and bowed: "Wei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Buwei took off his Marquis crown with the same hands that had just crowned Ying Zheng four times!
There was an uproar.

"Prime Minister Lu, no!"

"Even if you bear the crime of being imprisoned by Lao Ai, you should never bear such a heavy punishment based on your contribution of more than ten years!"

"Your Majesty, by punishing Prime Minister Lu like this, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of the people of Qin?"

The relatives of the Chu family all shouted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"

Chang Yun and other ministers of Lu Buwei were very excited.

They simply could not understand why Lu Buwei chose to resign so decisively.

Only Lu Buwei knew that this was his best chance to quit the court.

The conflict between Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng has long been clear, and Ying Zheng's unwillingness to accept Lu Buwei's manipulation is also very obvious.

If Lu Buwei continues to remain in the position of prime minister, it seems that he can retain power, but the conflict with Ying Zheng will only become deeper and deeper. Every additional day he stays in the court will make Lu Buwei further away from his political opinions. , and may even cause Ying Zheng's rebellious psychology.

This is harmful rather than beneficial to Lu Buwei’s political demands!

And if Ying Zheng really makes up his mind to expel Lu Buwei from the court, how long can Lu Buwei's remaining forces be able to stop him?
In this case, it would be better to finally make a decent exit.

After looking at Ying Zheng for the last time, Lu Buwei placed the marquis crown on the ground, raised his hands and saluted again: "I only wish that the Qin Dynasty will last forever!"

The eternal power passed down from generation to generation ended his political career on his own.

Chang Yun couldn't understand and looked at Lu Buwei's desolate back in disbelief.

But in the end, Chang Yun still handed over his hand and shouted: "Congratulations to Prime Minister Lu!"

Jiang Zan and more than [-] direct relatives also raised their hands and shouted:

"Farewell to Prime Minister Lu!"

However, there were only about twenty people shouting, which was completely incomparable to the hundreds of people protesting for Lu Buwei just now.

People take tea to cool down, but that's it.

Lao Ai, who was bound by the tortoise shell, laughed out loud: "Lu Buwei, you also have today, you also have today!"

"What did I say when I talked to you in the past?"

"Assisting me is your only chance. With Ying Zheng's caliber, there is no way he can let you die a good death!"

"impossible!"

"Ying Zheng will remove you from your official position today, and Ying Zheng will definitely kill you in the future!"

Seeing Lu Buwei's misfortune, Lao Ai was even happier than if he had been pardoned.

What’s even more worrying is that what Lao Ai said may very well come true!

Chang Yun yelled angrily: "You traitor, how dare you act so boldly?"

"If you hadn't conspired to rebel, why would Xiangbang be like this?"

Jiang Zan gripped the hilt of his sword, stared at Lao Ai, and shouted angrily: "That's his mother! I wish I could chop him into mincemeat!"

However, these words were not threatening to Lao Ai.

He is already dying, so what else is there to be afraid of?

Lao Ai smiled even happier, and even rolled on the ground happily, banging her head against the ground: "Hahahaha~"

"When you led the army to rescue Qinian Palace, did you ever think that you would be here today?"

"If you don't mind your own business and allow me to lead the army to surround and kill Ying Zheng, you will not be able to be the right prime minister today, but you can continue to be the left prime minister."

"But look at you now! You look like a dog!"

Ying Chengyu suddenly spoke loudly: "Where is the imperial physician's order?"

Xia Wuji hurriedly came out of the queue: "I'm here!"

Ying Chengxuan ordered in a solemn voice: "Go to my house to find the best medicinal materials. If I don't have them in my house, I will ask Brother Wang for them."

"Be sure to prepare the best life-threatening medicine."

Ying Chengyu showed a smile: "I like Lao Ai's lively appearance very much. I hope that he will continue to be so lively after his execution."

Xia Wuji held back his laughter, raised his hands and shouted: "Wei!"

Lao Ai's movement of grabbing the ground with her head stiffened, and she looked at Ying Chengyu in disbelief.

I thought you were extremely cruel, and no matter how bad your ending was, it couldn't be any worse.

But you can be more cruel?
You are definitely not a human being, you are an evil spirit!
The smile doesn't disappear, it just transfers from one person's face to another.

Lu Buwei smiled and turned to Ying Chengyu and saluted: "Thank you very much!"

Ying Chengyu returned the gift with his hands and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lu, have a good trip!"
