Ganquan Palace, built by King Huiwen of Qin, this palace has carried the wind and rain of the Great Qin for a hundred years.

The capital of the Qin State was originally in Yongcheng, and later the political center moved to Zhangtai Palace, around which Xingle Palace, Liuying Palace, and Ganquan Palace were expanded.

Ganquan Palace, commonly known as Nangong, echoes Huayang Palace from afar, and actually belongs to part of Xianyang Palace. Only because of the geographical location in Yongcheng, people do not put this palace and Qin Palace together.

In history, Empress Dowager Xuan lived in Ganquan Palace, booby-trapped the king of Yiqu, and embezzled Yiqu. After a long period of blending, the Yiqu people love and hate this palace, and because they are closely related to Ganquan Palace, they have long been connected and cannot be annoyed.

Ge Erdan understood what Zhao Ji meant, his brother Yingzheng was coming, and if there was no weighty Yiqu person in Ganquan Palace, then the status of the royal prince and Hu Ji would be very embarrassing. If it is light, it is that the Yiqu people are not inferior, and if it is heavy, Zhao Ji has no way to rule, and it is difficult to explain to the upper and lower levels.

When the royal car arrives, there will be hundreds of civil and military officials to follow, and a queen mother sitting high in the north must explain something to everyone. Fortunately, Geerdan came, if he didn't come, no matter how good the relationship between Zhao Ji and Yingzheng's mother was, this crown ceremony would be criticized by the ministers, which was also the reason why Zhao Ji was in a bad mood.

Zhao Ji knows this, and Geldan also understands this, so he can't talk about things for insignificant reasons. As he thought in his heart, Chang Yu was just a face of his mother, and although the status of Chang Xinhou was very high, all the power was given by his mother.

In terms of intimacy and affection, Zhao Ji is better for the righteous son around her. Especially after the death of Bloodstain and others, Geerdan became Zhao Ji's only adopted son, and this favor Geerdan is also very clear. Great Qin ruled the country by law, but filial piety is the foundation of it.

Thinking about all this, Geldan half-knelt in front of Zhao Ji and said, "My son is late, and I ask my mother to calm her anger." ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and sighed: "It's good to come, if the royal car arrives and you don't come, then it will be difficult for the mourning family to do, and it will definitely be slandered by those ministers behind their backs." Thou art my righteous son, and thou art different from others, rise up and speak first. ”

Still half-kneeling, Geldan said loudly: "My son cannot get up, and I have important things to tell my mother, and the reason why I am late is because I have been bewitched by some people." When I met my mother, I realized that the man was lying to me......"

"Stop!" Zhao Ji got up abruptly and said lightly: "Follow me to the palace and explain this matter clearly." ”

Zhao Ji turned around and left, Mo Chou Nu, Li Ji and others followed, and Ge Erdan looked up. Vientiane Yun has lived in Yongcheng for many years, and he is also very familiar with Geerdan, so he whispered: "In the land of Yongcheng, the only one who can bewitch you is Changxinhou. You came, but Changxin Hou didn't, and there must be some reasons why outsiders can't know about it. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't know about this, and Ying Hao doesn't know either. We are all clear about the relationship between the Marquis of Changxin and the Queen Mother, and his affairs still cannot be talked about in public, especially when the king is about to come. Hurry up and enter the palace to talk, we also want to know where Chang Yu went, at this time, he, the northern marquis, is not present, and he really can't say it. ”

Geldan opened his mouth, and then swallowed, he was still too young, how could he talk about this in public.

Entering the main hall, Zhao Ji waved his subordinates away, sat on the main seat, and said with a stern face: "Kneel down for me and tell me everything you know, where did Chang Yu go?" ”

"Zheng'er announced that he would go to Xianyang, but according to the news from Yongcheng, he did not rush to Xianyang as soon as possible, but wandered near the Qinian Palace for a long time, and then he didn't know where he went, and even Yinghao didn't know where he went."

What's even more outrageous is that not only did he hide, but he didn't even come to Ganquan Palace. Zheng'er is my son, as long as the mourning family speaks for him, Zheng'er won't do anything to him. Blindly hiding will cause big trouble. ”

"During the crown ceremony, all civil and military officials will follow, and Zheng'er will establish the prestige of the monarch, how can he hide and not see anyone? Fortunately, you are back, and the only person who can bewitch you is Chang Yu. Don't think I don't know, Chang Yu and Ying Hao secretly fight and mourn the family knows, and you and he often drink and have fun in private. ”

"You have to figure out one thing, the leader of Yiqu is not so easy to be, there are many tribal leaders staring at this position. If you take a wrong step, Orchid only needs to come from the palace to bring a message, and even the mourning family will not be able to intercede for you. After all, Hu Ji is the princess of Yiqu and the master of Yiqu, and I can't interfere too much in Yiqu's internal affairs. ”

"Tell me honestly, where is Chang Yu?"

Geldan knelt in the main hall, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Changxin is on the outskirts of Xianyang. ”

Zhao Ji was puzzled: "I really went to Xianyang, why do you have to act so secretively?" Maybe he is afraid of seeing Zheng'er, or maybe he is afraid of being embarrassed by hundreds of officials, but he is also a marquis, and he can't do things like the rivers and lakes are reckless. ”

Geldan raised his head and said, "Didn't my mother give Changxin Hou Yizhi and ask him to transfer troops to the side of the Qing monarch?" ”

Everyone's eyelids jumped, and Li Ji was puzzled: "Queen Qi, the king's crown ceremony was made in front of hundreds of officials, and even Lu Xiang and Changping Jun agreed. In other words, there are no traitorous ministers around the king, so where does it come from? We are all in Ganquan Palace, and the queen mother has issued such an edict, why don't we know? ”

Vientiane Yun sighed and said: "The facts are obvious, the Queen Mother has not issued such a decree, and the Marquis of Changxin used the tone of the Empress Dowager to do that false edict. ”

Zhao Ji's face was extremely ugly, and she said sharply: "Heaven is evil, you can still live, and you can't forgive yourself." In order to make the Zheng'er crown ceremony, we have paid a considerable price, and no one will be allowed to sabotage it. is a good Qing monarch, but it happened during the crown ceremony, and he also falsely spread the will of the mourning family, which is to do that rebellion. ”

"I can intercede on a small matter, but I can't say anything more about a big crime. Erdan, my son, tell me everything you know for our reference. ”

Having said that, Gerdan also knows the importance of things. Immediately took what Chang Yu said to him, from private interactions, to take Zhao Ji's fake edict to deceive the soldiers in the army. The Empress Dowager's edict, how dare ordinary people read it, although Geerdan is literate, but he can't tell whether the seal on the cover is true or false, let alone Zhao Ji's handwriting.

Although he felt that it was impossible for Zhao Ji to do this, under the edict, Geldan could only obey orders. Only a small number of tribal disciples were sent to roam around the Qin family's ranch, and the people of the headquarters did not move rashly. And the 10,000 army led by Chang Yu deliberately avoided Yingzheng's royal car, and could only drive to Ganquan Palace, deceive the city gate of Xianyang, and directly attack the Lu Mansion and the Chengwei Mansion.

After taking control of Xianyang, it became a fait accompli, and even the garrison outside Xianyang City would not be able to react. What's more, when the royal car travels, the army will follow, Xianyang's military strength is very empty, and the soldiers of Yongcheng are the most powerful army in battle, Chang Yu is confident that he can control the situation in Xianyang within an hour.

At that time, no matter who comes to ask him, he will excuse him in the name of Qingjun, let alone when Lü Buwei is dead. People are already dead, with Zhao Ji's character, he will naturally speak for the living, at most he will not listen to the dispatch, and the responsibility of the private soldier is nothing more than a punishment and grounding.

But he didn't think that it was a big crime to falsely spread Yi's will, and he used the soldiers of Yongcheng, no matter whether Lu Buwei died or not, he couldn't escape from a crime of rebellion. There is also a little Chang Yu who didn't think about it, in addition to the 10,000 guards he led, there were also thousands of people from the rivers and lakes.

Chang Yu was born in a reckless manner, and the people he knew were all these people, and those people did not have the discipline of the army. Once Xianyang is broken, anything can be done, especially in the face of Xianyang's wealth, the people in the rivers and lakes who were born in the bitter haha can't help but rob at all.

Listening to Geerdan's narration, Zhao Ji's whole heart was cold. After all, he is from the Lu Mansion, even if he has no feelings for Lu Buwei, his life and death can only be decided by Yingzheng. Chang Yu did this, which would make her not a person inside and out, and her situation would be extremely embarrassing.

Liji next to her exclaimed, "How dare the Marquis of Changxin do this? Mother, the king will travel in a royal car, and the army will follow the guards, and Xianyang City will become very empty. Xianyang Xue Palace, Qin Palace, and Chengwei Mansion do not have many troops, in case those people from the rivers and lakes cause trouble in these places, the king's crown ceremony will not be able to continue. ”

"Li'er knows the eldest brother very well, several sisters in the Qin Palace are pregnant, in case those soldiers who don't have long eyes attack the Qin Palace, how can the eldest brother be at ease?"

The corners of Zhao Ji's mouth opened, and she also panicked: "Ye Zi can't be fine, Mo Chou rushed to pick up my daughter." No, Zheng'er's crown ceremony must be carried out, and Mo Chou can't leave, and the assassin who wants to kill my son has not yet appeared. Qin Palace, you can only look at the skills of the two queen mothers. Chang Yu, since you dare to do this, it is to force the mourning family to kill you. ”

At this time, Zhao Ji also had no idea, no matter how many people died in the Qin Palace, she wouldn't care. The only thing she cared about was Lin Ye.

From Zhao to Qin, along the way, Zhao Ji and Lin Ye's mother and daughter supported each other, and the relationship between the two was no less than the mother-son relationship between Zhao Ji and Yingzheng. After going through so many things, the only person who can make Zhao Ji trust is Lin Ye. What's more, some of the forces in Lin Ye's hands told her without reservation. That was the hole card that Lin Ye prepared for Zhao Ji, and it was also the hole card prepared for Ying Zheng.

The regime changes in the Qin State are too frequent, and without considerable hole cards, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Take this crown ceremony as an example, how many people planned behind the scenes, and it seemed that everyone was going smoothly, but in fact, it caused many people to be dissatisfied in private.

In such a situation, if the crown ceremony cannot be carried out, all the hard work will be in vain. The Empress Dowager Xia Ji of the Purple Bamboo Forest had an unclear attitude, and she must not wait for that person to recover from her injuries and make things difficult for everyone when she went out. While you are in retreat, you have to turn everything into a fait accompli, and when the power is not there, what is the use of force alone.

The mood of everyone in Ganquan Palace sank to the bottom, and everyone's opinions were the same as Zhao Ji's, no matter how fierce Chang Yu was, the crown ceremony must be carried out. As for those people in Xianyang, they can only look at the destiny of heaven.

For all this, Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the royal car, didn't know that he was still playing with Ying Ai in a low voice in the company of Qiankui. The royal car was made by the Mo family, and the sound shielding effect of the carriage was very good, no matter how lively the frolicking inside was, the outside did not know.

The only one who can hear this is Zhongli, who acts as a coachman.
