Chapter 70 The Collision of New and Old
In this way, the Qin delegation ignored the withdrawal of the Qiang people and reorganized the ceremonial guards. Mengtian rode a tall horse in front and a long Qin convoy behind, followed the Yuezhi people's white horse cavalry and entered the grassland one after another.
Lying in the creaking carriage, Ying Guang lost interest in the grassland scenery that he had seen once. He rested his head on Mo Yin's legs and smelled the faint fragrance of the girl, Ying Guang suddenly felt a little disappointed in his heart. His brother-in-law was not very interested. After seeing his sister, he stopped looking at him directly, and without saying a word, he took Yu Shu and the car to the Yuezhi team, as if he could only feel safe only when he was away from him. It was better for Xiao Mo'er. Although he wanted to chop people at any time, he was always for himself. The little girl knew that he felt sorry for him.
Seeing Ying Guang frowned, Mo Yin thought he was still worried about the mission. After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his white and tender hands to help Ying Guang massage his head. The force was just right. If Ying Guang knew that Ying Guang was worried about how to get Jing Shu into this car, he might not have thought that Mo Yin would immediately turn into a palm and slapped Ying Guang outside the car.
Seeing that Ying Guang was a little more comfortable, Mo Yin said, "The shadow that stayed in Xianyang a few days ago came from the shadow that the king decided to use Fan Sui's suggestion to attack South Korea. Since the Mongolian and Wu army had not returned, the candidate for the commander to attack South Korea was delayed. After two days of discussion, and finally, with the strong recommendation of Fan Sui, Wang Ji and others, the king appointed Bai Qi as Zuo Shuchang, led 300,000 Qin troops to lead troops to attack South Korea's new city."
Ying Guang opened his eyes, thought for a while and said, "Didn't Wei Ran raise any objections?"
Mo Yin smiled, reached out and plucked the hair that had been dropped on his forehead, and replied, "Wei Ran seemed to have smelled something, and he also lacked experience with Bai Qi. He had refused to say that embarrassing the great responsibilities, but King Zhao was not allowed."
Ying Guang sat upright, turned around and saw Mo Yin rubbing his numb legs, and smiled bitterly: "You, you will know if your legs are numb. Can I bully you?"
Mo Yin smiled naughtyly and didn't answer. Ying Guang was helpless and continued, "It seems that King Zhao is preparing to attack Wei Ran. Bai Qi goes there this time, no matter whether he wins or loses, it is not a good thing for Wei Ran. If he loses, there is no need to say much. Bai Qi comes from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wei Ran is promoted by Wei Ran. Bai Qi cannot bear the blame for the defeat. King Zhao will not let Bai Qi take it alone. Fan Sui and others are just one recommendation. Bai Qi is afraid that the leader will be lost, and Wei Ran must be the punishment for dismissal from office and retirement. But if he wins, everyone will be happy. However, Wei Ran is already the leader of all officials, and he cannot be promoted, but he still holds military power. The four words "high merits are worthy of the master" are tailor-made for him."
Mo Yin continued with a smile: "If you are smarter, you will take the initiative to retire and have a good destination. If you still keep the position of prime minister, it is probably a big disaster."
Xianyang City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Wei Ran sneered and sent Fan Sui out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This kid was still a little tender, but he was quite brave. He actually dared to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion. Do you think he couldn't see that his name was actually here to inquire about the truth?
Back at the pond in the courtyard, the cold night wind calmed down Wei Ran. Fan Sui thought that he would dare to brag and kill him blatantly after holding King Zhao's thighs. Wang Ji's civil servants also thought that his situation was over, so he stood behind Fan Sui, shaking the flag and shouting. Hehe, it seems that the silence was too long, and all ghosts and monsters dared to jump out and point fingers. I, Wei Ran, have never seen any storm, and I can also let you stinky fish overturn my boat! After thinking for a while, Wei Ran suddenly said to the butler behind him: "Wei Zhong, close the door to thank the guests from tomorrow. If you say something to the palace, you will say that I am in good health and will not go to the morning court."
"Yes! Master."
A few days later, the rumors that Prime Minister Wei was ill suddenly flew all over the streets and alleys of Xianyang. Fan Sui gained power and became a celebrity in the court for a while. Well-informed officials stopped and watched, repeatedly measuring between old forces and newcomers, and did not dare to make a decision easily. Not only that, there were rumors that Fan Sui used a trick to force the Prime Minister to resign and return to his hometown, and his lineage would be implicated. As a result, the influence of the Prime Minister's disagreement with Fan Sui quickly expanded, affecting countless officials. Everyone was in danger, and undercurrents in the court were surging.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, King Zhao couldn't help but be in a state of losing control. As soon as the army set out, the prime minister said he couldn't come out of illness, and the court was in chaos. It was said that he would first settle the internal situation by resilient foreign powers. If all the strengths of Qin were lost outside, Qin would definitely be severely damaged and even shake the foundation of the country.
Leaving the hall where he was verbally quarreled, King Zhao hurried to Ganquan Palace. At this point, he could only ask his mother for advice.
In Ganquan Palace, Empress Dowager Xuan was wearing a high-collared black wide-sleeved outer robe with red embroidery patterns. The dark patterns on her clothes were outlined with dark ink and fireflies, which looked very beautiful in the flow. She leaned on the couch and hummed the Chu tune in her mouth. There was a little chill in the hall. She was as white as a girl, and there was a small bronze beast-headed aromatherapy stove. An elderly aunt next to her said softly in Xuanhou's ear: "Mrs. Queen Mother, the king is here."
As soon as the tune was stopped, the queen of Xuan smiled and said, "I think he should arrive too. Just like when he was a child, he will definitely come back to me when he cannot solve the problem. This time it has been delayed for a long time."
The aunt held Xuan Hou and sat down, and smiled and continued: "The king has done a good job in recent years. His relationship with various countries has been handled properly, and his territory has also expanded a lot. The Queen Mother's requirements are still a bit stricter."
Queen Xuan shook her head and said, "I'm still a little worried. Well, you can let him in."
After saluting his mother, King Zhao sat aside and said to Queen Xuan: "I have been busy with state affairs these days, so I have been less here. When I first came in, I felt a little chill in the hall. Later, my son asked the eunuch to add a few more pots of charcoal fires."
Queen Xuan interrupted with a smile: "Ze'er is interested, but this day is getting warmer. Although my mother is a little afraid of the cold, it's enough to have this warmer. This time I come here, I won't just look at my mother as simple as that."
King Zhao's rare face turned red and he said, "Mom is still the same as before, and no trick can be hidden in front of you."
Queen Xuan sighed and said, "My mother knows what you are worried about. Ze Er, in order to make you firmly sit in the throne, we have done everything we should do, and some even go against our conscience. The king's balance is taught by the Queen Mother. Just do it according to your original intention, and I will say hello to your uncle. In short, the Qin Dynasty cannot be in chaos!"
