It was not Yingzheng's idea to kill the twenty-seven people who entered the admonition, but Xibu personally killed him, and this responsibility can only be taken.

As Mao Jiao said, there is nothing wrong with those words of advice. But the person has been executed, and as the king of Qin, he can't go back on his word. Therefore, he had to wait for someone to come and admonish him again and give him a step down before he could explain internally and externally.

Now that Mao Jiao is here, he also said to Yingzheng's heart, so he naturally agreed. Mao Jiao was also stunned, looking at Ying Zheng's expression, it seemed that he had been waiting for someone to say this, but he was preempted by himself.

Ying Zheng said: "Sir's words, when it comes to the heart of this king, those people who died unjustly deserve to be buried thickly, and please Mr. continue, what else is there that I have not considered." ”

"As long as you say anything that is beneficial to the great cause of the reunification of our Qin State, you can say it as much as you like, don't be afraid of offending anyone."

Mao Jiao was also a little worried, the King of Qin in front of him really didn't have a shelf, since he wanted to say it, let's say it.

Mao Jiaoyan said: "The king didn't say it, in fact, many people in the school palace guessed that the order to kill twenty-seven people was issued by the sword maid and executed by the commander of the western step. Those people were right, and the swordsmaid felt that they had disturbed the king, and it was not wrong to order him to be executed. ”

"But one of them, the Commander of the Western Steps, was still wrong. My Great Qin Ancestor Xun, except for the king, no adult man can live in the Qin Palace for a long time. The guards in the palace are not allowed to enter any palace except for daily patrols, and it is strictly stipulated that each patrol team must be changed once a month, so as not to cause cholera in the palace. ”

"But what did our Xibu master do? Not only did he live in the palace for four years, but he also went in and out of Huayang Palace many times, and even had a relationship with a palace maid and gave birth to a baby. I don't know why the king wants to stay in the palace for a long time, but this matter has already happened, and this gap must be plugged as soon as possible, so as not to let the situation affect the uncontrollable place. ”

Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, showed an angry gaze, and said, "Are you sure this is true? ”

Mao Jiao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I know the fate of the death admonition, and I did a lot of research before I came to see the king. Just earlier today, I heard a few eunuchs from the palace privately talking about buying more nourishing ingredients for a certain sister's health. ”

"I thought it was normal, but when I listened closely, I heard that something was wrong. According to the eunuchs, the elder sister was short of milk and her body was very weak, and the Yiling Hall specially ordered to send more to her. But as far as I know, the concubines of the king have their own palaces to live in, so which concubine is the child of the Yiling Palace? The adult men who can move freely in the palace, except for the king, are only Lord Xibu. ”

Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Mr. Mao Jiao, from now on, you have to forget about this matter, and you can't confide in the three words of Yiling Hall to the outside world. This palace is a taboo in the palace, once you let the palace concubines know, you can only die, and even I can't protect you. ”

Mao Jiao was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, the minister doesn't dare to talk much, I don't know there is such a taboo." ”

Mao Jiao was really scared, he didn't expect that just the name of the palace that he had never heard could bring him death. The water in this palace is also too deep.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "As long as you keep your mouth shut, there is no danger." The matter of Xibu should not be talked about to the outside world. Get up, and talk about welcoming back your mother. ”

Mao Jiao wiped the sweat on his face, Ying Zheng sorted out his thoughts, and asked: "You also know that I also want to welcome back my mother, but her old man is unwilling to return to the palace, so I can't forcibly invite her back." This matter has been bothering me for a long time, and I can't find a suitable solution. ”

As long as he didn't talk about the things in the palace, Mao Jiao returned to his normal state, and said with confidence: "There is a way to welcome back the Queen Mother." ”

"I remember that the king and Lord Wei Yu had a secret discussion for seven days and seven nights, and as soon as they came out, they formulated the Great Qin national policy of unifying the world. If you want to welcome back the Queen Mother, you have to talk about the content of the national policy. ”

"The Queen Mother has always had a wish, that is, she wants to go back to the former residence of Zhao State, and everyone knows this in Yongcheng. After three years of recuperation, he has the strength to launch another campaign against the Three Jins. And the garrison outside the city, 10,000 people are also soldiers of Yongcheng, and the queen mother is persuaded to come and see these soldiers, which can also stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"The king might as well tell the Queen Mother two things, one is to promise not to hurt the two children, and the other is to use troops against the Three Jin Dynasty, especially the battle against Zhao, he will be personally conscripted. As long as it comes to this, the Queen Mother will definitely not be able to sit still, and she will definitely come to sit with the king in the royal car to witness my Great Qin soldiers attacking Handan, but she wishes. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, this method is excellent, Zhao Ji's wish is to return to his homeland, and he wants to vent the humiliation he suffered in Zhao back then on Zhao's body. This breath has held Zhao Ji's heart for many years, otherwise she would not have done those things of supervision and training in Yongcheng.

As long as she is allowed to breathe, it is estimated that Zhao Ji will let go of everything, take Lin Ye's child with peace of mind, and enjoy her old age in Ganquan Palace. This breath, Ying Zheng also held it in his heart for many years, when Zhao Sheng forced him to almost die, if it wasn't for the shepherdess teaching martial arts, he might have died on the way back to Qin.

sent Mao Jiao away, Yingzheng ordered to go down, bury the twenty-seven dead people, and announced to the public that the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji would return to the Qin Palace within three months.

Back in the palace, Ying Zheng took Zhongli and left, until he came to the Yiling Palace.

Zhongli asked suspiciously, "Why did Childe come here?" If you want Zhao Cui to sleep, a summons is enough, although the big bed in Yiling Palace is still comfortable, but that kind of extravagant furnishings have always made you dislike. ”

Ying Zheng said angrily: "This matter can't be known to outsiders, it's all caused by the Xibu you trained." Xibu can't stay in the palace anymore, and he has to be sent to the ranch tonight to let Zero Yu take care of it. ”

Zhongli was confused and asked softly, "What did Xiaobu do?" provoked Childe so much anger. ”

Ying Zheng said: "You'll know later." ”

When he arrived at the Yiling Palace, Xibu met Yingzheng and Zhongli, with a sincere smile, and said, "Why did the king and aunt come here?" Summoning us, small steps from now to listen to orders. ”

Ying Zheng said coldly: "Zhao Gao, pass on my order, go to the Eunuch Bureau immediately, and execute all the eunuchs who went out of the palace today." Don't ask why, and you can't ask, I'll let the Bell Hall agents monitor every process. ”

Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "Huh." ”

If you can live in the palace, you naturally know what to do. Ying Zheng wanted to execute those people, it must have been those people who said things outside the palace that shouldn't have been said, and even Zhao Gao didn't dare to say such things, let alone listen to them.

After Zhao Gao left, Ying Zheng sent another order: "Pass on the king's order, remove the post of commander of Xibu, and the Praetorian Guard immediately change guards and reallocate a batch from the pasture." ”

The Praetorian Guards shouted in unison, "Wow." ”

No longer looking at Xibu, although they don't know what happened, they know one thing, that is, Xibu is in big trouble. They could not stay in the palace for a moment, and if they heard something taboo, it would be a big trouble.

Around the Yiling Palace, there were many figures of secret agents of the Zhong Palace, closely monitoring every grass and tree here. Zhongli didn't ask about this, but was curious. Xibu is such an honest person, in her eyes is just a big child, what can he do to make Yingzheng so annoyed?

Ying Zheng didn't say much, but just took everyone to the second floor of the Yiling Palace. Zhao Cui also received the news and was already waiting here.

Ying Zheng asked: "Xiao Cui, you are in charge of the people in the Yiling Palace, has anything happened recently?" ”

Zhao Cui said with a smile: "King Qiqi, Xiao Cui has let the mundane affairs take care of An, and he is training hard. Seeing so many sisters break through, Xiaocui can't lag behind, so she naturally increases her training time. ”

Ying Zheng sat on the main seat, knocked on the table and said: "For training, it seems that everyone is working hard, but do you know that it is because of no matter what happened, the secret of the Yiling Hall was almost exposed." From now on, you don't want to train, take care of everyone here, you know? ”

Zhao Cui couldn't laugh anymore, and hurriedly agreed: "Oh." ”

Ying Zheng said to Xibu: "Xibu, there are no outsiders here, in front of this king and your aunt, tell me what you made wrong, and tell me honestly." ”

Xibu's face showed nervousness, but he still said: "I didn't do anything wrong, I don't understand what the king meant." ”

Ying Zheng's face was ugly, and Xibu actually lied. Zhongli sneered angrily: "Xiaobu, since Childe said that you made a mistake, it means that you did something wrong." Your expression betrays you, you don't lie at all, but you lie anyway. ”

"My little step never lies in front of me, it may be that some subordinates in the palace have taught you badly, this is my aunt's negligence. Wait a minute, I will execute the people here one by one, and you will stay in the Yiling Palace, I am very worried. ”

Xibu was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Auntie, don't drive me away, I don't want to leave the Yiling Palace." ”

Zhongli said sharply: "But you lied to me, from top to bottom in my Zhong Palace, no one dares to lie to me." Tell me honestly, what did you do wrong, Childe will not punish you much for the sake of my affection. ”

Xibu was sweating profusely, and he said firmly: "I don't know what I did wrong." ”

Zhongli shook her head, she didn't expect that Xibu would not admit it. Ying Zhengdu has already ordered the execution of many eunuchs who went out to procure, indicating that someone leaked the matter of the Yiling Hall outside the palace, and in the Yiling Palace, except for Zhao Cui, who was dedicated to training, only Xibu was the most powerful.

Zhongli didn't ask anymore, and said, "Xiao Cui, summon the eunuch in charge of the kitchen and Yi An to come over for questioning." ”

Xiaocui nodded, went downstairs to look for someone, and after a while, only the eunuch in charge of the kitchen came, but he didn't see Yi'an.

When the eunuch in charge saw the situation here, he already understood the situation and just waited for questioning.

Ying Zheng asked, "Why didn't Xiao An come?" ”

Zhao Cui replied: "Xiao An is sick and recuperating in his own house, I also went to see it, and he is indeed very sick, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for a month." ”

Ying Zheng asked, "What is the disease?" How can a person who knows martial arts be so sick that he can't get out of bed for a month? ”

Zhao Cuiyan said: "I checked it, and I got rheumatism, probably a long period of wind chill at night. For us northerners, even if we know martial arts, if we get cold in the cold wind for a long time, this disease will appear. ”

Ying Zheng suddenly asked a strange question, and said, "Xiao Cui, so how long has it been since you saw Xiao An before tonight?" We all know that Xiao An had an old illness before, and you also diagnosed and treated her. ”

Zhao Cui said casually: "Recently, I have been training, and I have been in retreat for a long time, and I haven't treated Xiao An for almost a year. This is not surprising, as long as those old diseases are carefully cared for, they will soon be cured, and I didn't bother to waste much on this. ”

Ying Zheng said directly: "Then there is only one explanation, Xiao An lied to you." ”
