Chapter 561 Xiong Qi's Choice
Xiong Qi was forced by Tian Guang, but he had no choice but to start carefully inquiring about the itinerary of Gongshu Qiu and Ying Jue.
As a result, the old man Gongshuqiu was a technical resident and kept himself in the mansion to study mechanisms all day long. According to his current status in Qin State, unless Ying Zheng ordered, the rest of the people were not qualified to let him put down what he had.
Since Zhonglang Cheng was a traitor in the palace guards before, Ying Jue's imperial guards have now replaced the position of guarding the palace. Ying Jue himself was in a quiet place and was in a position with the palace. There was no doubt that there was a shadow guard.
It is simply impossible to send these two people to Tian Guang without exposing himself.
"Tian Guang, you..."
Knowing the specific situation of Gongshu Qiu and Ying Jue, Xiong Qi cursed Tian Guang countless times at home.
Even if I have no choice but to do anything for the time being, this day will still move forward, and in the blink of an eye, the day will be the funeral of the Empress Dowager Huayang's coffin.
From Xianyang to Mount Li, the team that sent the coffin to the coffin lasted for several miles.
The last time he helped his mother Zhao Ji back to Handan, Ying Zheng did not bring any concubines in the harem. This time he helped his grandmother, the empress dowager, almost all the wives with names and surnames in his harem were listed.
Mi Hua's face was haggard, and her dry cheeks were no longer visible. Her lips were shriveled and her eyes were dull.
Fusu walked with his mother, and his mother was sad, and he was also sad, staring in the direction ahead with tears in his eyes.
The rest, such as the princess of Qi, Guili, Princess of Yan, Princess of Han, Princess of Wei, etc., also shed tears.
As the leader of the Mi surname, Xiong Qi was on the way to see him off, but his mind was still involved in Tian Guang's threat.
Ying Zheng was watching the road ahead, and noticed his appearance, and came over to ask with concern: "Cousin, grandmother and the Queen Mother passed away. I and you are younger generations, so you should fulfill your filial piety. Cousin is unpretentious, but what are you worried about?"
Xiong Qi was startled and responded in panic: "Your Majesty, I..."
At this moment, his mind turned countless choices.
The life and future of the entire clan of Mi surname were all on his shoulders.
"The king, I just remembered that the Empress Dowager could talk and laugh with Mi Hua not long ago, and suddenly there was a gap between Yin and Yang, alas~"
Ying Zheng was cheering up his face, without much grief. "Life and death are not as good as human power. The life of my grandmother and Queen Mother will shine on my great Qin for the past lifetime."
The Empress Dowager Huayang influenced the Qin Kings for four generations. She shone through the ages of great Qin. This was a bit exaggerated, and she was not wrong.
The words were good words, but Xiong Qi looked gloomy when he heard them, and the king did not respond to the queen.
He felt that there was no need to say anything about Fusu’s teacher.
In fact, this is Xiong Qi's thinking that has become rigid. The operating model of in-laws and relatives politics has firmly trapped him.
Queen Mother Xuan, Queen Mother Huayang, and Zhao Ji, these three are representative women of the political politics of foreign relatives in Qin.
In the current political system of Qin, the queen is generally relatively low-key and has less political intervention.
However, after the death of his husband, the new king succeeded to the throne, and they became the queen mother, and became high-ranking and began to actively interfere in politics.
Especially when the new king ascended the throne, she was still the youngest son, and the empress dowager often became the center of governance, and the empress dowager's relatives formed a large political group around her.
Since Queen Mother Xuan, the Chu faction has already mastered this set. The Queen Mother is in charge of the Qin harem and married the new king to the wife of his mother, and another family member in the court is in charge of power.
If you continue to maintain this double insurance, you can ensure that you will not suffer for decades. In the next few decades, you will only change people, and the principle of operation is the same.
The combination of Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei that appeared later also had the same principle as this set of things, and they suppressed the Chu system.
Even if he was suppressed, Xiong Qi was still the Censor of the Qin Dynasty, and the Mi surname still occupied a small half of the court. It can be seen that this set of principles is very practical.
What Xiong Qi is anxious about now is that Ying Zheng has been reluctant to make Mi Hua the queen. He is not sure whether the Mi surname can continue its glory for decades.
Ying Zheng's attitude towards this issue has never changed.
In the past, groups of foreign relatives like the combination of Queen Mother Xuan and Wei Ran, Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, would never have risen in the Qin Dynasty when he was Ying Zheng.
As for the way to cause chaos in the harem without a master, people are uneasy and cause chaos. As long as he is Ying Zheng, the harem and the country will definitely be as peaceful as Mount Tai.
The courage of the First Emperor has both advantages and disadvantages.
As mentioned earlier, the Empress Dowager interfered in politics and the strong political power of foreign relatives was also related to the Qin State's succession system.
It is generally very clear that the heirs of Qin State established. Establishing the prince earlier can ensure a smooth transition to the throne.
The empress dowager interfered in politics and formed a group of relatives, but objectively ensured that the Qin State would not burst into uncontrollable chaos in the change of power.
Looking at the Zhao Kingdom next door, among the twelve generations of kings, the eleven generations were killing brothers, and even the fathers were killed.
After two simple conversations, neither Ying Zheng nor Xiong Qi spoke again.
...
A few days later, Xianyang National Master's Mansion
Bai Feng appeared on the top of the tallest pavilion in the mansion, with the white feathers on her shoulders waving in the wind.
His eyes locked on the person below.
The other party looked just an ordinary person, but in recent days he always "passed by" the National Master's Mansion on time, which made him very concerned.
"Hu~" He jumped down from the upper floor.
A white shadow flashed, and a passerby disappeared, and no one around paid attention.
Bai Feng pressed the man against the wall of the National Master's Mansion and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
The man leaned against Bai Feng's hands and struggled and said, "Hero, you, let me go, or I will call you. This is Xianyang."
Bai Feng was stunned by this attitude.
He snorted coldly, then lit up the sharp feather blade and pressed it into the other party's neck, "Qin Fa, of course I'm afraid. But before I was punished by law, you were dead."
The other party instantly surrendered, "No, no, you have something to say, and you have something to say. Hero, whatever you say is what you say."
Bai Feng took back the feather blade and continued to ask: "Who are you? I have never seen you before. Who told you to go here on time every day?"
"The villain is just a street sweeper. After I swept, I went home. The road is closest to where I walked, and no one asked me to go here."
"Then why haven't I seen you before?"
"Oh! I remembered that a few days ago, I was sweeping the streets and collided with Changpingjun's carriage. He asked me to sweep in another direction in the future and don't let him see me again.
Who is Changpingjun? It would be nice if he was not taught a lesson. How dare the villain not listen to his words?"
"Hmm?" Bai Feng suddenly became alert. Changpingjun and a street sweeper, what's the matter?
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and reminded the man: "After you go out from here, you know nothing."
“Yes, I’m nothing—”
Before the man finished speaking, his eyes dazzled and he found himself standing outside the street. He blinked his eyes and slipped away quickly.
Bai Feng summoned a bird with one hand and let it fly to the net headquarters.
