Chapter 26: The Crown Prince
Lu Buwei looked at these people in front of him hatefully, such a big thing. I didn't get the news in advance, it seems that I was busy helping King Zhuang Xiang depose the forces of the Mi family for a while, and offended many people. So much so that no one came out to report such a large-scale incident.
In any case, these people must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise their more than ten years of thinking will be wasted. looked at Jing Er, no matter how he looked, he looked like himself. It must be his own child, in order to put his son on the throne, even if he takes his old life.
King Zhuang Xiang's face was cloudy, and Lu Buwei was a little worried. This emperor, who used to be his student, actually hides cowardice behind his ambitions. It may be that the hard days of Proton's career have created a compromise side of King Zhuang Xiang's character. In the face of strong pressure, King Zhuang Xiang usually compromises. It was precisely because of this that Empress Dowager Xia dared to connect with the ministers and bring up the matter of the prince at this time. As long as King Zhuang Xiang can't bear it, as soon as he loosens his mouth, this matter is a certainty.
"Great King, the prince is a major event for Great Qin. This matter must be discussed not only with the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, but also with the ministers of the clan. Today is not a great court meeting, and all the clan monarchs are not here. The queen mother of the two palaces also needs to return to the court, why don't they discuss the candidate for the prince at the big court meeting three days later! "It's easier to delay than to veto, Lu Buwei saw the opportunity and took advantage of the silence in the Xuan room to speak.
"Lu Xiang is reasonable, Daqin founded the country with filial piety. The matter of the prince is not only related to the fortunes of the Great Qin. It is also a major event in the Great Qin clan, and this king has to discuss with all the clan kings. Naturally, I also have to discuss with the queen mother of the two palaces, as for who to appoint as the crown prince. At the big court meeting three days later, you will speak freely! "King Zhuang Xiang can be regarded as finding the steps. There was hardly any hesitation. Immediately agreed to Lü Buwei's proposal.
"The king is wise!" There is no gap between the statements of King Zhuang Xiang and Lü Buwei for everyone to drill. As for what will happen in these three days. I'm afraid only God knows!
Seeing Zhao Ji again, Yun Yue found that Zhao Ji had plumped a lot. The face is ruddy and full of energy. Where is there still that proton mansion, with a yellow face and thin muscles.
"Zhao Ji has seen Yunhou! I haven't seen you for many days, and Yunhou's demeanor is still gratifying! Qin Qing's face next to him returned to his rejecting look thousands of miles away. Just now she clearly saw a flash of excitement in Zhao Ji's eyes, it was just a fleeting glance, but it was caught by the keen Qin Qing.
There used to be rumors about Zhao Ji and Yun Yue in the palace, but they were old. I didn't see any signs of a thorough investigation by King Zhuang Xiang, so he slowly faded away, and now it doesn't seem to be groundless. From Zhao to Qin, the road is high and long. I'm afraid, it's not uncommon for a little bit of a melon field to be a plum down.
"I've seen Madame, Madame after she returned to the palace. The position is mentioned again and again, it can be seen that the lady is deeply loved by the king, and the prince is already listening to the government in the Xuanshu Palace. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer things to worry about for Mrs., Yun Yue congratulates Mrs. ”
"By the auspicious words of Yunhou, Gongzi Zheng and I were rescued by Yunhou from Zhao State. This kindness. Zhao Ji is toothless and unforgettable. ”
The two were almost formulaic greetings, extremely polite words. made Qin Qing feel that there was something between the two of them. This is usually the case between men and women, and the more important the person is, the more polite he is. Fighting and making madness is crazy, but there is no personal relationship. Qin Qing, who is smart in ice and snow, and even the tricky Empress Dowager Huayang is thoughtful and satisfied, how can he not know this truth.
"Mrs. Zhao and Yunhou met, they really chatted warmly!" Although it had nothing to do with Yun Yue, Zhao Ji still heard the sour taste from Qin Qing's words.
"I've seen Qin Guiren, and I'm thinking about going to see the Queen Mother for a while. Dare to ask the nobles, the Queen Mother is in good health today! ”
"The Queen Mother is fine, she just got the dressing mirror given by Yunhou and is now happy. Mrs. Zhao, if you want to wait, this is a good opportunity. Qin Qing was silent and began to set Zhao Ji up. Yun Yue's small report just now has already made the Empress Dowager Huayang's mood start to be bad, and if she goes to wait at this time, if she doesn't say a word well, maybe she will be unlucky. What's more, Zhao Ji has another relationship with Lu Buwei.
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Ji saluted Qin Qing and prepared to go to Gaoquan Palace to serve. These months, except for resting in the dormitory. Zhao Ji always went to Gaoquan Palace to serve the Empress Dowager Huayang, and she waited thoughtfully and diligently, and the Empress Dowager Huayang didn't like it, but she didn't hate it either. However, compared to Han Ji, it is much closer.
The two pretty and clever palace maids almost entered the imperial garden one after the other, and when they found Qin Qing and Zhao Ji, they were stunned at first. Then they all walked up to their masters and whispered. I saw that Zhao Ji and Qin Qing's faces were uncertain, and it seemed that something had happened.
"Yunhou, let's go back to Gaoquan Palace! Perhaps, the Queen Mother will also talk to Yunhou. Mrs. Zhao, if you want to serve the Queen Mother, let's go with us! After Qin Qing finished speaking, he walked in the direction of Gaoquan Palace first.
The front dynasty and the harem have always been connected, and the storm in the Xuanshu Hall is like a gust of wind blowing through the harem. Naturally, Empress Dowager Xia knew the news in advance. Hearing that Lü Buwei easily pushed the matter to the big court meeting the day after tomorrow, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Last night, he had already made it clear to King Zhuang Xiang. King Zhuang Xiang also vaguely agreed, there will be many variables in the past three days, and we must deal with it mentally. Otherwise, chickens and eggs may not be beaten.
The entire harem seems to be in a hurry, and those concubines who were born with sons are actively communicating with the forces that communicate with the DPRK and China. Let's see if there is a chance to win the favor of King Zhuangxiang in one fell swoop. Some people even secretly hate why they didn't come up with such an idea. Let the mother country give land, so that his son has the opportunity to become the king of Great Qin. If he becomes a king, a dozen cities are nothing.
Fools can see that after conquering the Eastern Zhou Kingdom. The three eastern counties were inserted between Wei and Korea like a wedge, and these fifteen cities were not given by the king of Han. Within a few years, the Impunity will also take these cities into their pockets. Exchanging land for the throne is indeed a good business.
Empress Dowager Huayang gritted her teeth with hatred, she didn't expect Empress Dowager Xia to suddenly make a move. His eyes and ears in the court didn't have any news in advance. Although he doesn't like Lu Buwei, the candidate for the crown prince can only be Gongzizheng. If Cheng Zhen, who was single-handedly supported by the Empress Dowager Xia, became the crown prince, after a hundred years of King Zhuangxiang, he and the forces of the Mi family would die more ugly than a pig.
"The tandem of so many people, you didn't notice the wind beforehand? Isn't it tomorrow, Cheng Zhen will be the prince, do you know? What's the use of you, what do you eat with those rice buckets of your men? "Under the anger of the Empress Dowager Huayang, there is no aristocratic demeanor. The bamboo slips in his hand were thrown towards Changping Jun one by one, and poor Changping Jun didn't dare to hide. I could only stand there and be smashed by my aunt.
"Smack......!" A roll of bamboo slips scattered and collapsed onto the dressing mirror with a soft sound. The Empress Dowager Huayang hurriedly walked over and stroked it, and when she saw that it was not broken, she was relieved.
"It's all useless, Xuan Qing'er and Yunhou are back." The Empress Dowager Huayang returned to the desk and sat down, and after venting just now, she quickly calmed down. As a prominent female politician, she knows how to restrain her emotions.
The servants gathered the bamboo slips in a panic, and the sound of running on the floor "dong" and "dong" sounded. Listening to people, I was upset again.
Yun Yue and Qin Qing came back, and the hall had already been cleaned up. The Empress Dowager Huayang sat behind the desk, her face sinking like water. Changpingjun knelt down and sat down, but his flowing bun seemed a little messy.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! I think you all know everything, so let's talk about it! What do you think, Yun Yue, you have the most ghost ideas. Think of a good way for the mourning family, the prince must not be a fool. Seeing that Yun Yue was about to give a salute again, the irritable Empress Dowager Huayang waved her hand and was relieved. Zhao Ji, who was following behind, listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, and her heart was relieved.
finally heard the Queen Mother's words in support of Yingzheng, even if it was worth dying of exhaustion for this sentence.
Qin Qing thought that when he arrived at Gaoquan Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang would inevitably ask Yun Yue. On the way, he told the bottom of what happened. The details, even the expressions of those important ministers did not let go. Yun Yue couldn't help but admire the strength of this woman in the palace.
"The Queen Mother, Gongzi Chengzhen sent an envoy to South Korea. If you want to go back to the fifteen cities, everyone knows that this is the result of Empress Dowager Xia's operation in the back. Without Empress Dowager Xia and Han Ji, with his seven-year-old doll, how could he ask for so much land in the hands of King Han. What they fought was the idea of exchanging fifteen cities for the crown prince's throne.
It seems that the Empress Dowager Xia has been arranging this for a long time, and the Qing nobles said that many ministers who don't talk much on weekdays are on the side of Gongzi Chengzhen. Yun Yue believes that the Empress Dowager Xia must still have henchmen in the court. Otherwise, so many people who do not have a central connection will certainly not speak together in one day.
And these people who speak have one characteristic, that is, they all have military merits. Weichen can conclude that the person who makes waves in the court must be a figure in the army. ”
"Queen Mother, Empress Dowager Xia frequently summoned General Du Bi into the palace some time ago. But this General Du Bi has already returned to the border of Qin and Chu. Could it be ......that Qin Qing knew everything about the things in this palace, and immediately thought of Du Bi.
"Du Bi is gone, won't there be a nephew and henchman left? It must be this Du Bi, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to move those brainless generals. On weekdays, I really underestimate this Xia Ji. Hum! I want Cheng Zhen to be the prince in the next life! ”
The Empress Dowager Huayang was so powerful that she was so frightened that the palace people in Gaoquan Palace trembled.
"Zhao Ji acted as the prince and thanked the Queen Mother. If Zheng'er becomes the crown prince, he will definitely look forward to the will of the queen mother in the future. Be a filial grandson, a great Qin with a Dao Mingjun. "Zhao Ji is a human spirit, so she naturally knows when to say something. As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Huayang's face really improved. (To be continued.) )
