Compared to the moment when Qin Wangzheng and his entourage were slowly approaching Yongdu, Lao Ai, who was living in Yongdu at the moment, was very excited. In recent years, the Dazheng Palace has been filled with a rare atmosphere of frolic and joy.
Ever since a humble man entered the court, he had completely conquered the Queen Mother Zhao by virtue of his unique strength. Otherwise, for more than a year, his fiefdoms would not have spread all over Taiyuan, Yangcheng, Yongcheng, Liangshan and other places.
The number of food towns is scattered over 200,000 households. Even Lu Buwei, the Marquis of Wenxin, is at a disadvantage. He has gained titles and honors, but it seems that Lao Ai has not forgotten his core origin.
Although he was a humble person, Lao Ai was unique in his treatment of people and things. He served the Empress Dowager Zhao wholeheartedly, without any distractions, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. She never ate from the bowl while looking at the pot.
Not a single one of the beautiful maids around the Empress Dowager Zhao was touched. Even though the Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't handle it during her menstrual period, Lao Ai would rather snore like thunder under the bed of the Empress Dowager Zhao than commit any sexual acts.
As a woman, being treated like this by Lao Ai, my heart has long been attached to him, and I often sigh with emotion: Although this son is rough and vulgar, he is so dedicated to me, even more so than the heartless Lu Buwei.
There is no second place in the world!
Although Zhao Ji was about forty at that time, like a wolf and a tiger, she still couldn't bear the majesty of Lao Ai. Faced with Lao Ai's desire, Zhao Ji even broke the taboo of the red moon and let Lao Ai faint in the dark.
Immersed in it, he ignored what Lai Ai did. This situation was also what Lai Ai wanted to see. Although he was a lowly person, he also understood the importance of talents.
For this reason, he does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to poach people. As long as he acts as his retainer, his salary will increase tenfold from the original basis. If he wins his heart, he will be given a house and a beautiful maid.
A large amount of treasures were spilled out, which surprised the people of the old Qin Dynasty. Such a generous act had never been seen in hundreds of years, not even Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei, a wealthy man, had never done this.
This kind of action did attract a lot of followers and officials who came to defect. Unfortunately, Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei still had great authority. Among the officials who came, there were not many high-ranking and powerful people. As for the followers, most of them were from above.
Countries from Dang, Beijun, and Shandong came here, and people from hundreds of families did not care about their origins.
Among the many figures who defected to real power, the most prominent one was Guanzhong Neishi Yingsi. This person was in charge of the civil affairs of Xianyang and the entire Qinchuan area, and had never been allowed to anyone but the royal family.
As an elder of the royal family, Ying Si had always been dissatisfied with Hou Wenxin's monopoly on power and had long wanted to push him over, so he defected to him. The next two were Weiwei Lin Hujie and Zuo Gedong Hujie.
His identity is that of the general of the wolf tribe in Beijun, who is in charge of the escorts, crossbow troops and horses of Yongdu City. There is also Leng Qi, the middle doctor who is in charge of discussions in Xianyang. This man is good at drilling camps and is proficient in strategy. Since then
After Lao Ai became powerful, he came to seek refuge with him.
For a time, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey was called the king. He actually became the biggest and most relied-upon counselor in Lao Ai's sect.
A few months ago, Zhao Ji became pregnant and gave birth to a son, weighing nine pounds and five taels. Lao Ai was overjoyed, and Leng Qi immediately made a startling conclusion: Ninety-five is the number of the emperor, and his fate is extremely precious.
The largest number between heaven and earth is no more than nine, and the most noble is no more than the middle five. The supreme number nine and five can be the King of Qin. As soon as he said this, Lao Ai's heart moved, and immediately rewarded Leng Qi with ten beautiful maids aged thirteen.
He has reached the point where he is now, with the title of prince ranking at the top of the Qin Kingdom, the number of food towns ranking at the top of the Qin Kingdom, and the fiefdom is not inferior to that of Han, Wei and other countries in Shandong.
How could his own son be inferior to himself? But now, the only one who could surpass him in the entire Qin court was one position. With the joy of serving Zhao Ji, he was planning to achieve a great cause.
Unfortunately, before the strategy could be deepened, Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei could not withstand the pressure and directly wrote to the government and the public to request the Qin King Guanli to personally conquer. There were fish in the river larger than the earth, and the government and the public were excited.
In addition, at the age of three, the stars were broken, and the minister harmed the king. Lao Ai felt a little guilty, so she immediately asked Leng Qi to present a feasible strategy. Not long after, but within an hour, a perfect strategy was presented:
The general took advantage of the crown ceremony and led the 100,000 elite soldiers at his disposal, plus hundreds of masters from various countries in Shandong, to attack Qin Wangzheng in Qinian Palace and support the Ninth Five-year-old son to become the king.
Afterwards, they marched into Xianyang, where Marquis Changxin married the Queen Mother, and was promoted to the title of Supreme Marquis of Ten Thousand Generations!
Yesterday, Leng Qi came to report that Qin Wangzheng led the left and right guardians and marched with thousands of heavily armored soldiers. The soldiers from Lantian Camp were not mobilized, and Marquis Wenxin Lu Buwei did not move too much.
At this, Lao Ai smiled coldly: Why do you wonder? Lu Buwei, a humble businessman, has always thought that I am a despicable person and despises me. Now that the King of Qin is in charge, he feels unhappy, so he wants to
Use my hand to attack and kill him, thinking that I don't know.
As soon as the words came out, Leng Qi and others looked at each other and seemed to think that it was not impossible. Marquis Wenxin and Lu Bu had been the regent for nearly ten years. It was impossible for the King of Qin to conquer it all at once.

"Meng Tian, what's the secret message?"
The next day, when Mao Shi arrived, the carriage started again. From the dim mountain on one side, a group of secretive people and horses suddenly emerged from the dark peak and marched to the central tent. The leader was none other than the young General Meng Tian of the Qin State, wearing dark clothes.
The man in armor, holding a fine iron spear, stood on his knees and spoke.
The well-dressed Qin Wangzheng, looking at Meng Tian's dusty appearance, nodded slightly, walked forward slowly, and glanced left and right at the right protector, Master Xuan Qingzi, who had already risen, and the left protector, Dongjun.
"Your Majesty, Lao Ai's 100,000-strong army has already marched on the road. There are 20,000 troops in the Yongdu royal city, and about 30,000 troops have been recruited from the fiefdoms and counties under her command. The Queen Mother's own official cavalry and Lao Ai's official cavalry are combined, and there are about 30,000 troops.
Ten thousand people.”
"The rebels from the Beijun Wolf Clan and the Shangdang have about 30,000 troops. The ranger swordsmen recruited by Lao Ai in recent years, and the anxious soldiers of Nei Shi Ying Si, add up to 10,000 people."
"Since the king came out of Xianyang, several groups of soldiers and horses under Lao Ai's command have been heading towards Yongdu. They will arrive in a few days. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, although the king has not personally conquered, even if there is an edict from the regent, he has not
The generals Wang Jian, Huan Jue and others know that the soldiers are not in accordance with the rules, and if the soldiers advance, they are guilty of causing chaos!"
They stood with their hands folded, responded with a deep voice, and a hundred thousand troops were launched. In the history of the Qin State for a hundred years, except for King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Marquis Wei Ran of Rang, and Lord Bai Qi of Wu'an who mobilized troops to help the late King Zhaoxiang ascend the throne, there is probably no Qin State today.
.
However, this time, I am afraid that Lao Ai's plan will be in vain.
"Hahaha, very good. I am afraid that they will not take action. Send my order and the army will not move. When the time comes, blockade the entire Yongdu area. I will let those people stay here forever and bury the ancestors of the Qin Kingdom.
.”
"There are also knights and people from hundreds of families in Shandong. We must try our best to gather information about them. These people have tried to disrupt our country's political affairs over and over again. Today, I will take note of them first!"
Although the army of 100,000 was large, King Qin's government showed no fear. In the past ten years, with the help of Lord Changping, Lord Changwen, Lord Gangcheng, etc., and with the death of Meng Ao who was friends with Marquis Wenxin, new members of the army were established.
One generation is all in his own hands.
Even if Wen Xinhou could not do anything to him, Lao Ai, a despicable person, would dare to do this? And the mother who brought shame to the Qin royal family, since she did not give him face or a way to survive.
Then, no one can hope to survive.
"Master Xuanqing, Your Excellency Dongjun, it seems that my life will be with you!"
