Lu Buwei saw her crying, thinking that he had been with her for a long time, and his body felt weak. Seeing that she couldn't handle the situation, he felt even more annoyed and tired. He quickly shook his sleeves, snorted coldly, and nodded.
He left without looking back. When Zhao Ji saw him turning around and leaving, she felt resentful in her heart. It was not the first time that the two of them broke up on bad terms, but a trace of unhappiness was planted in their hearts.
The incident in Lanchi Palace quickly reached Ying Zheng's ears, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He had been feeling much better recently, but Lu Buwei was still clinging to the affairs of the court. He even refused to allow anyone to go to Zhangtai Palace even with the slightest bamboo leaf.
He only sent an order to the king to rest in peace, but he took all matters big and small into his own hands and acted arbitrarily. Yingzheng did not have to worry about it. Lu Buwei became more and more powerful. He only thought that the young master was young and easy to bully, and controlled all the power.
In his own hands, Xia Ji and others were dissatisfied.
At this time, Lu Buwei and others were in power internally, the king's power was on the sidelines, and foreign countries were eyeing each other. Although Lu Buwei was ambitious, he was quite talented and learned, and he governed the Qin State in an orderly manner. Although he did not have outstanding political opinions, in the end
The Qin Kingdom was not allowed to fall. From this point of view alone, Yingzheng also admitted that this person was a tycoon for a lifetime, but that was all. This person's character was not decisive enough, and he was not clear about his children's affairs. Now
Although it is quite popular, it is only temporary.
At this time, Ying Zheng seemed to be keeping his status as his own puppet king. The previous year he appointed Zheng Guo as an official and presided over the construction of Zheng Guo Canal. The monarch seemed to have ceased to exist. Lu Buwei became more and more proud, and his disciples defected to the diners.
, Duke Heng saw all this, and became more and more secretive. He knew that Ying Zheng was like the bird dormant in the dark at this time.
For Ying Zheng, the two Meng He clans secretly managed the army and horses. Meng Ao was still used by Ying Zheng on the surface, and He Gong remained neutral. In fact, in the interior, Ying Zheng had controlled most of the Qin army, and He Gong showed his loyalty.
, handed the command talisman in his hand to Ying Zheng. The army he managed was so prestigious that he could mobilize it without the military talisman, so the matter was kept secret.
In the summer, the state of Wei gradually became uneasy. Ying Zheng had been ill for several months, and everyone thought he might die soon. Unexpectedly, the King of Qin said that he was in good health and hosted a banquet for all the princes and ministers in the palace.
Many of them had not seen the King of Qin for several months, and when they had something to do, they came to see Prime Minister Lu and others. When they heard this, they were a little unbelievable. For this reason, almost all the ministers and ministers of the court came to Yingzheng's banquet.
Chang'an Jun Chengqiao, who doesn't like to enjoy women, also came forward. Recently, people have been coming and going in Chang'an Jun's mansion. Everyone only thinks that he will be the supreme king in the future, so they all rush to flatter him. They thought it was a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, King Qin recovered in the end, so Cheng Qiao's situation was the most embarrassing. He also couldn't believe it. He was one of the first people to come to Yingzheng's banquet, and even his beauty could not make his face look better.
.
When Ying Zheng appeared, he was tall, straight, and extraordinary. He walked like a dragon and a tiger. There was no sign of illness. The king's crown, which symbolized power, swayed slightly as he walked. The swaying crown on the crown
When the crowns collided with each other, a series of cold shadows were cast on the young monarch's handsome and profound face. The black and dark clothes were full of momentum. The green and black patterns hanging down on the waist and covering the knees were even more powerful when walking. The gold was occasionally exposed under the skirt.
Thick-soled shoes made of silk and vermilion thread, the King of Qin was very powerful, but there was no sign of illness? Everyone was far away, and they were frightened by his power for a while. They didn't even dare to show their anger, and looked at the high platform.
The imposing king strode forward and kneeled on the ground in unison:
"I respectfully welcome your Majesty!" The main hall of Zhangtai Palace is extremely spacious, with desks set up every five steps. Behind the desk, ministers are kneeling and sitting in front of the desk. They knelt down and cheered in unison.
At that moment, echoes came from the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, which made Ying Zheng even more powerful. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes like an eagle were staring closely at the lower right corner and
Cheng Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground unwillingly with everyone, had a cold light flashing in his eyes. After a while, he knelt down by himself and then called out: "Get up!"...
"Get up~" Zhao Gao sang loudly behind him, and all the ministers stood up to express their gratitude. Meng Ao, as a loyal minister of Yingzheng, was the first to raise his glass and said: "My king's grace is bestowed by heaven, so that your king's health is gradually improving."
Well, obviously the king is a very blessed man. I am extremely grateful for God's gift and pray that the king will open an altar to offer sacrifices! To thank God for his kindness." He was the first to speak, and everyone knew his identity, so there was no difference.
It seems that Meng Ao has a different status now, and he is favored by the late king and holds the military talisman in his hand. Now he is also the most trusted person around Ying Zheng. He spoke first, and it was just as he said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Great kindness! Look at the date with Taizhu. On which day will the altar be opened to thank God for his kindness!" At this time, Taizhu was dedicated to offering sacrifices to the king and taking charge of affairs such as the Ancestral Temple. He was very leisurely on weekdays, only during important events.
It will only be used on auspicious days. Although Yingzheng's body was only injured and he was recovering for a period of time, as long as everything is in the name of God, it will always appear more special and justified. Meng Aoyi said that Yingzheng's good health is from God.
Looking at the light, everyone present had different expressions. Cheng Qiao looked unwilling, while Lu Buwei looked a little complicated and fearful. After a banquet, there was so much food and drink that there was no taste left in his mouth.
"The king is a monarch blessed by God. If you receive God's favor, you will naturally be blessed." When Lu Buwei said this, he felt that his teeth were a little sore and his face was naturally not good-looking. However, in front of all the courtiers, he
As the prime minister, ranking first among the three princes, after Meng Ao said the opening words, it was natural for him to finish the rest, so Lu Buwei still smiled and cupped his hands, and then sat down.
"What Lu Gong said is absolutely true. Your Majesty is blessed with abundant blessings, and I am delighted." It was Duke Lu who spoke. He stood up and bowed deeply to Ying Zheng before saying what he had already discussed with Ying Zheng.
Come: "Your Majesty, with God's blessing, your unification of the world is just around the corner!"
He Pingping rarely speaks in daily life. Even though he is a lieutenant, except for holding the military power, he is no different from an invisible person on weekdays. However, he spoke first. Although it was not wrong given his status, everyone was surprised.
After being stunned, Lu Buwei still had a strange feeling in his heart. Lu Buwei glanced at Ying Zheng, a warning flashed in his eyes, but it was undeniable that the courtiers were aroused by the words of Duke He, and those who unified the world one after another
The heroic words began to ring out in the hall.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth. Seeing the ministers drinking to the fullest, the previous depression and silence seemed to be forgotten. There was a fanatical atmosphere in the hall, and Ying Zheng seemed to
As if he was also infected by this atmosphere, he suddenly stood up from the table, picked up the wine master, and shouted loudly: "With the words of your noble family, Great Qin will definitely dominate the world!"
"The king is a man from heaven, and Qin will rule the world!" Seeing Yingzheng's toast, all the ministers in the palace, under the intentional leadership of Meng Ao and others, became excited. Their faces were red, and their eyes were filled with madness, and they stood up.
, raise a glass and drink.
There was a gloomy look in Lu Buwei's eyes. Seeing that Ying Zheng had easily won the support of all the ministers, he felt very unhappy. He had endured for many years and finally got to where he is now. Ying Zheng was only fifteen this year, so he wanted to compete with him.
Right! Lu Buwei snorted coldly in his heart. Seeing the crazy looks on everyone's face, he slightly raised his voice and said: "Everyone, everyone, please listen to something first!" As soon as he spoke, everyone was dissatisfied.
Everyone became quiet. Lu Buwei has become very powerful in recent years. He was supported by King Xiaowen Yingchu in the early days, and when he died, he left the young king alone. In the past two years, he was supported by the Queen Mother Zhao. His reputation has been the same for a while, even now.
When King Qin Yingzheng saw him, he also wanted to call him Zhongfu. No one wanted to touch his brow at this time, so Lu Buwei opened his mouth. Although most people were dissatisfied, they all stopped and looked at him with wine in their hands. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
I felt embarrassed...
"The king is a blessed man, and it goes without saying that he can unify the world. But now that the countries have united, you don't have to be so anxious. If other countries notice it, it may not be good for Qin!" Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng.
With a calm smile, he turned around and said a little domineeringly, suppressing everyone's enthusiasm with just one sentence.
The venue suddenly became quiet. Although Ying Zheng still had a smile on his face, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Mr. He, who nodded slightly, and then broke with a long laugh.
After this period of silence: "Mr. Lu, what you said is wrong!" After he finished speaking, he smiled proudly, picked up the wine cup in his hand, drank the wine in one gulp, and then threw the deer-shaped wine cup fiercely.
There was a loud "clang" sound on the ground, and the bronze wine cup rolled several times on the floor before suddenly stopping. Such a loud "ding-dong" sound was especially harsh when everyone was quiet.
Duke Heng didn't care about Lu Buwei's ugly face. He smiled heroically and said with a bit of contempt: "Gong Lu, you are so powerful now, why are you becoming less courageous?" After saying this, Duke Hao laughed loudly.
"You!" Lu Buwei's face turned livid. He didn't expect that Mr. He, who had always pretended to be deaf and dumb, would contradict him. His eyes turned cold and he stared at Mr. He, but he was still calm and composed.
With such a look on his face, he couldn't help but have murderous intent in his heart. Unexpectedly, Duke Heng ignored him, and just rushed to the crowd and cupped his hands: "Everyone, our Qin army is strong and our horses are strong, and there is a man like the king who can win the favor of heaven. We will definitely fight.
We are all victorious, and the unification of the world is inevitable. The Qin State has always produced only good sons and gentlemen, and a man would rather wrap his body in horse leather than live an ignoble existence. Do you dare to admit that you are from Qin?"
"I am willing to go to waste for the king, and I am willing to contribute to the Qin Dynasty!" When everyone present heard what Duke He said, the ministers were excited and their faces turned red. Meng Ao took the lead in striding out of the table and rushed to the Prime Minister Ying to pay his respects.
On the ground, Lang said: "I am willing to be the vanguard of the king and swear allegiance to the Qin Dynasty to the death. I am willing to be the sword in the hand of the king. Wherever the king points me, even if I try my best, I will not lose the trust of the king! Please give me the order!"
"Although Meng Ao is old, he is tall and strong, and his voice is like a bell. As soon as he said these words, it was like pouring a layer of hot oil on everyone's excited emotions. At that moment, many people in the court were excited.
As they began to line up to request orders, even the veteran general Wang Lu who was close to Lu Buwei strode out, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "I also wish to request orders, but I beg your Majesty to allow me to wear armor and go into battle!"
Listening to the continuous requests for orders, there were actually many people he trusted, including scribes! At that moment, Lu Buwei's face looked ugly, and his heart felt like a fire was burning. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he held it back.
He is also a person who is aware of current affairs and can look at the situation. At this time, he knows that the situation is over. He seems to insist on going against everyone, and he will only end up in a situation where everyone will betray his relatives and be resented by everyone. Therefore, although he is unwilling to win the government and suddenly take away his limelight and momentum,
But he still suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, forced out a smile, and said with cupped hands: "It's true that I have a lot of filters!" His chest hurt, but he didn't want to admit what Mr. He said that he was timid.
Admitting that he was just too lazy, before Ying Zheng could speak, he knelt down again and said solemnly, "As long as I serve the Qin State, I am willing to sacrifice my life and blood for the king, no matter what!"
"The Prime Minister is indeed a loyal and loyal man!" Lu Buwei's words were indeed effective. At that moment, people who were loyal to him to the death began to praise him, and the palace suddenly became lively.
Ying Zheng had a smile on his lips, but he was full of murderous intent in his heart. He smiled gently and cupped his hands at Lu Buwei. His wide sleeves covered the gloomy look on his face, and he just said with a smile: "Father Zhong is loyal to the country."
"Zhao Zhaozhao is loyal, and Zheng Zi should bear it in mind. Qin needs you at this time. Naturally, it is better to leave the matter of going to battle to General Meng and others!" Ying Zheng also saw it, and Lu Buwei's words clearly meant something.
The meaning of a general is to give credit to his subordinates. He has now become extremely powerful. The Qin State has a strong army and horses. If it really wants to raid a country, as long as the other countries are not allowed to join forces, it will naturally be easy to capture. Lu Buwei wants to pick this ready-made peach.
It depends on whether he is willing or not!
Sure enough, Lu Buwei's face suddenly darkened, but looking at everyone in the field, he managed to suppress the anger in his heart and sneered twice: "Your Majesty is old now, so he naturally makes his own decisions. I am old.
In this case, everything is decided by the king." Although he said it nicely, everyone could hear the sarcasm in his words. The atmosphere among the ministers suddenly became cold. Everyone looked at each other and felt that Lu Buwei
Today is quite unusual. Even some of the scribes who have prostrated themselves under Lu's sect have expressions of embarrassment on their faces. They also feel that Lu Buwei's words are too petty and do not seem like people who can achieve great things. But at this time
It's hard for anyone to tell.
Ying Zheng seemed not to hear the anger in Lu Buwei's words, but just smiled at him: "Father Zhong is in his prime, and you have to make more decisions on all matters in the Qin State. Why should you be so modest?" He said this
Although Lu Buwei still didn't give the slightest affirmation or reply to his words, compared with Lu Buwei's words, the superiors and inferiors immediately recognized him, which made Lu's little belly chicken. Everyone was silent, but they had their own concerns in their hearts.
