Qin Wangzheng was very satisfied with the reaction of Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, and was also very satisfied with the reactions of other important officials in the government over the past few months.
However, if we are about to attack Zhao or even destroy Zhao, we should also consider the remaining forces in Shandong. If the land of the Three Jin Dynasties does not exist, then Yan and Qi will not be a big trouble after all.
Only the state of Chu can be considered a rival.
Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping, has been reliable both inside and outside the court for more than ten years and can be regarded as the pillar of Qin State. However... he is a relative of Chu State after all. Taking advantage of this opportunity to temporarily overpower Li Si, it is a good choice to promote Li Si.
"Here!"
Next, Zhou Qing came out to present a ceremony. As for today's words, he had already expected it. Since King Wu, the Qin State has had a right-wing prime minister and a left-hand prime minister. This has been the case for decades.
Promoting himself to the position of prime minister this time is not important, because for several years, he has rarely touched the real power of the prime minister. The key is to put Chang Shi Li Si in the position of false prime minister.
Chang Shi was originally an important minister in the central government, and coupled with the power of the false prime minister's position, he was already equivalent to the reserve force of the prime minister to a certain extent.
"Here!"
Li Si, the chief minister, also came out to pay homage.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials in the palace were moved. Today is the last court meeting before the beginning of spring, but the king has given them too many things.
Eyes fell on Marquis Wu Zhen and Chief Shi Li Si. The king had been neglecting the government for several months. Li Si was the Chief Shi and had been in charge of the Xingle Palace. From this point on, his position became even more powerful.
As for Wu Zhenhou, he already held a high position of power. Now he is not only the prime minister, but also the pseudo-general of Lantian Camp. He is the only important minister in the center who spans military and political affairs.
It can be seen that if General Wang Jiandong fails, Wu Zhenhou will definitely be a candidate for the commander-in-chief of the army. By then, he will have military achievements in hand, and he will be a central minister.
I just don't quite understand why the king weakened Lord Changping at this time. For several months, Lord Changping has been sitting in the government, coordinating Yin and Yang, and he has made great achievements. Although he has doubts, no one dares to ask.
"Here!"
"I accept the order!"
Finally, after Wu Zhenhou and Chang Shi Li Si thanked him, Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping, came out of the procession. His expression did not change and he bowed his hand.
At this point, I had already anticipated it.
In the harem, Queen Mother Huayang's health has been getting worse and worse since winter.
"Report, Your Majesty."
Suddenly, before Qin Wangzheng could continue to speak, outside the Zhangtai Palace, Li Zhong, a guard wearing black armor and a sword on his waist, suddenly rushed into the entrance of the palace with a hurried look.
He knelt down half-body and bowed hastily.
In an instant, all the ministers looked over and raised their brows unconsciously. It was really too rude. This was Zhangtai Palace, how could they be so flustered, let alone the palace guard.
"What's the matter?"
Qin Wangzheng was also quite unhappy. Even so, he had understood Li Zhong's behavior over the years. Unless it was important, he would not bother him. His expression was slightly cold and he thought it would be over.
"Your Majesty."
"News just came from the harem, Mrs. Li... Mrs. Li has had a miscarriage!"
Li Zhong looked a little ugly, he didn't dare to look up, he cupped his fists with both hands and saluted, and said dryly.
God knows how this matter will turn out. The year before last, Mrs. Li was pregnant, but she had a miscarriage. In the harem, countless people died because of it. Now, the fetus in Mrs. Li's body is already five or six months old.
Unexpectedly, something like this would happen again.
Buzz!
The entire Zhangtai Palace showed some restlessness, and then everything fell into silence. The eyes that fell on Li Zhong withdrew and looked at the king cautiously. It is not a secret that Mrs. Li is favored in Xianyang Palace.
And if nothing unexpected happens, if Lady Li is born as a young master this time, he will most likely be crown prince in the future. This is not just talk, but the king's preference for him makes everything possible.
The year before last, most of the important civil and military ministers in Zhangtai Palace were in Xianyang, and they had deep memories of Mrs. Li's miscarriage. Although the mastermind behind the incident was not found, hundreds of palace officials died because of it.
This time, I'm afraid it will be even more powerful.
Zhou Qing stood at the top, his brows furrowed, and he glanced at Li Zhong, thinking about Gongsun Li's tire slipping. Since ancient times, there has been a lot of strife in the harem, and Gongsun Li's tire slipping made Brother Wang very angry.
This time, if the tire slides again, I am afraid that many times more people will be implicated.
"Dismiss the dynasty!"
"Li Zhong, seal off Xianyang Palace immediately. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will without my order!"
"Wuzhenhou, follow me to Zhaode Palace!"
King Qin's political appearance was extremely ugly. He took a deep look at Li Zhong, his red and phoenix eyes crinkled, and after a few breaths, he shouted in a deep voice.
After saying that, he turned around and left Zhangtai Palace.
Zhou Qing followed him.
The important civil and military ministers in the palace looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat. Although the matter of Lady Li's miscarriage was a matter of the harem, but it involved the king, it was a matter of the entire Qin Kingdom. They looked at each other.
Next, Xianyang Palace will be filled with blood.
Weiwei Li Zhong did not dare to hesitate, stood up directly, and walked out of the palace. He felt extremely heavy. I was afraid that he was also responsible for this matter. Those people behind the scenes were really hateful.
Zhaodeokgung Palace!
At this moment, Li Zhong has ordered martial law in front of the palace gate, and every palace attendant entering and leaving is subject to strict inspection.
Qin Wangzheng walked quickly forward, Zhou Qing followed beside him, and Zhao Gao appeared quietly not far away.
"A bunch of trash, who failed to serve Li'er well, were thrown into Yongxiang, and all of them were executed!"
Looking at the people kneeling in front of the palace gate and looking at the trembling look of those people, Qin Wangzheng became even more angry. As an attendant of Zhaode Palace, such things happened one after another, and he was too tolerant towards them.
He spoke coldly, ignoring the fearful words of those people, and stepped inside.
Zhao Gao commanded the soldiers beside him to drag away all the attendants in front of the palace gate.
Zhou Qing watched this scene quietly and shook his head. This is a palace rule and these people deserve to die.
"Drag them all out and kill them with sticks!"
Entering Zhaode Palace, the already green cherry trees in spring could not attract Qin Wangzheng's eyes. Looking at the people on both sides of the road, murderous intent was violently released.
In an instant, another wave of frightened cries for mercy arose one after another.
"Your Majesty, it won't be too late to deal with these people later. Let's see what happens to Mrs. Li?"
Zhou Qing sighed softly and came closer to whisper.
"I just have too much compassion for them."
"A year ago, when Marquis Wu Zhen destroyed Han, Li'er experienced this. She was extremely depressed for almost a year. Now that she is giving birth to an heir, she can't believe... that all these people should be killed."
"Zhao Gao, kill the hospital doctor who has been serving Mrs. Li for several months!"
Qin Wangzheng snorted coldly, Li'er had been in the palace for several years, but there were always some people in the harem who didn't like Li'er. He also knew that he had dealt with a lot of them a year ago.
Unexpectedly, those people took action again, really pretending that they would not kill them.
Li'er has the body of a warrior and has always been in good health. If it weren't for the young people secretly doing this, she would have no worries at all.
As he spoke, he had already entered the Zhaode Palace. Looking at the palace servants who were kneeling down in a hurry again, he had no time to pay attention to them at the moment. Next, he would have plenty of time to deal with them one by one.
"King!"
As soon as you enter the inner room of the palace, you will find a bed in the very depths.
At this moment, many people from the palace were kneeling around the bed, and beside it was the imperial doctor. On the bed, a beauty was sobbing softly and holding her young son in pain. Seeing Qin Wangzheng walking in, she felt even more sad.
The sound swirls.
"Li'er."
Qin Wangzheng hurriedly approached, held Princess Yangzi in his arms, sat on the side of the bed, and spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid, we are here."
"No matter what happens this time, I will give you an explanation and give my child an explanation."
Looking at Gongsun Li who was extremely weak and pale, Qin Wangzheng held her tightly in his arms and comforted her softly. The murderous intention that was everywhere just a moment ago was deeply suppressed in his heart.
.
"Father, mother said that Yangzi has no younger brother."
Princess Yangzi could now speak. She looked at her mother who was crying and her father who was hugging her tightly. Although she didn't know what happened, her mother cried and told herself that she had no younger brother.
"younger brother?"
"Li'er, is the fetus the son of Da Qin?"
Hearing this, Qin Wangzheng's expression changed again. It had been half a year since Li'er became pregnant. He had always hoped that Li'er would give birth to a son, but he didn't expect that this time it would actually be a son.
It's a pity that the young master was not really born.
"King!"
Gongsun Li's eyebrows were downcast. The year before last, she had experienced such a thing once, but that time, she had lost her pregnancy not long after she became pregnant, but this time it was different.
I can already feel the heartbeat of the child in my belly, but for some unknown reason today, something like this suddenly happened. I thought that those in the harem would not have any hidden agenda.
But..., thinking about what the hospital doctor said before, my mood became more and more depressed.
"Wu Zhenhou, can you get anything?"
The reason why I brought Brother Wang here is because... Brother Wang has the ability to know whether Li'er's fetus did not exist due to her own body or external reasons.
Even so, King Qin already had some speculation deep in his heart.
"Mrs. Li, I'm offended."
Zhou Qing's spiritual sense spread, he came forward and bowed, he pinched the seal with both hands, and a beam of purple mysterious light directly penetrated into Gongsun Li's body, and he felt the shape of his body carefully. Logically speaking, with the physique of Gongsun Li as an innate warrior, there would be no such thing as a miscarriage.
matter.
Unless there is external help.
A trace of profound energy poured into Gongsun Li's body. Her body was still healthy, surpassing the health of ordinary people. There were no toxins left in her body, but she was now a little weak.
"Wu Zhenhou, how are you?"
After more than ten breaths, Qin Wangzheng asked again after seeing the solemn look on Brother Wang's face.
"There are no complex toxins in Mrs. Li's body. I'm afraid the hospital doctors can't find a reason for Mrs. Li's pregnancy, right?"
Slowly retracting the beam of purple mysterious light, Zhou Qing's eyes surged with light. He looked at the hospital doctor who had been kneeling beside him and said nothing. He was a little curious. There were indeed many strange things in Zhuxia.
"Wuzhen Hou Mingjian,...Mrs. Li is in good health. She is even rich in blood, strong and well traveled, much better than ordinary people. There is no external intrusion."
"We... don't know anything about Mrs. Li's tire slide."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Hearing Zhou Qing's words, the hospital doctor not far away suddenly raised his head, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, and quickly knelt down and took a step closer. Wu Zhenhou's words were also the words he and others had just diagnosed.
It really doesn't seem to be caused by something slipping on the tire, but the specific cause... is not clear.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, just wait for me for half a stick of incense."
Zhou Qing frowned. Since the tire slipped for no reason, it was absolutely impossible to say that it was Gongsun Li's intention, because the fetus was already so big. The tire slipped at this time, which would also cause great damage to Gongsun Li's body.
Then, the only possibility is external force.
And it is an extremely weird external force.
Ordinary power is difficult to detect, that's why, we can only use magical power to deduce one or two!
He gave Qin Wangzheng a reassuring look, and with a thought, purple light automatically appeared on his body. He pinched the seal with his hands again, and a series of wonderful textures flew out of his hands and landed on Gongsun Li's head not far away.
In order to forcefully deduce cause and effect with the power of supernatural power, a golden Tai Chi diagram was rotated in the middle of the eyebrows, and the radiant light illuminated the entire inner room, alternately flashing purple light, making the entire inner room feel silent.
"Father, is he a god?"
Princess Yangzi, who was in the arms of King Qin Zheng, was extremely curious. She twisted her body, looked at her mother who was enveloped in purple light at the moment, and then looked at Zhou Qing, who was shining with colorful mysterious light not far away, and looked at her father.
"For Yang Zi, Marquis Wu Zhen is a god."
Qin Wangzheng has absolute trust in Wang Di. Although he doesn't know what Wang Di is doing at the moment, since Wang Di can give himself a look of affirmation, then he can definitely find the person who did it secretly.
Facing Yang Zi's pair of crystal clear eyes, he smiled softly.
The hospital doctor on the side also looked at Wu Zhenhou with great hope. As long as Wu Zhenhou could find the perpetrator, maybe their lives... could be saved.
The power of the hand seal is connected to Gongsun Li's body. In the depths of her eyes, mysterious textures are running. With the blessing of spiritual senses, the power of counting surges to speed up the deduction process.
Involuntarily, looming images emerged one after another. Looking at this, Zhou Qing's face moved.
"how?"
Qin Wangzheng waited patiently. Li Zhong had already sealed off Xianyang Palace. As long as Marquis Wu Zhen could find out the person behind the scenes, even Mrs. Chu herself would have to be punished.
Even if the Empress Dowager Huayang is in front.
"The imbalance of yin and yang power in Mrs. Li's body makes...the fetus in her belly inherently unstable. In the long run, the natural origin collapses and there is no vitality. Therefore, there is a misfortune of miscarriage!"
In less than half a stick of incense, Zhou Qing gathered all the mysterious lights and returned them to his true body.
Facing Qin Wangzheng's gaze, he responded softly, and at the same time looked at Gongsun Li thoughtfully. After taking a breath, he scanned the inner hall with his eyes, feeling the strange fragrance that once again surrounded his breath, and felt quietly in his heart.
Feeling.
With a wave of his hand, an incense burner burning a different kind of fragrance floated in front of him.
