Chapter 16 The Coup

Wang Zhu saw that something was wrong. There were about two or three thousand armored soldiers behind the queen, armed with spears and halberds, with venomous eyes. They rushed into the hall without any explanation and lined up on both sides.

Do you still need to ask in this situation?

A coup!

The queen ignored Wang Zhu, held her head high, and went straight to the throne. There were four people behind her, one of whom was Xiang Ting, the guard of Afang Palace, and the other was Qiang Qi, the guard of Ganquan Palace in Lishan.

The grandson of the Prime Minister Xiang Shou, he was very domineering in his early thirties. Weiwei Qiangqi was the son of the famous general Qian Yu of the First Emperor of Qin. He was a veteran general, about the same age as Wang Ben.

There were two more people behind them, a man and a woman, but Wang Zhu didn't recognize them!

Both of them were around sixty or seventy years old. They were white-haired, full of nobility, and looked arrogant and arrogant. The woman was wearing a court dress and a crown, holding a purple dragon head crutch, and a purple jade belt around her waist. She looked at Wang Zhu.

Wang Zhu walked over with a cold face at one glance. The man became even more arrogant, with a toad-like mouth, glaring green bean eyes, and a snow-white goatee. He sneered as he passed by Wang Zhu.

Wang Zhu was worried, what should he do? There wasn't even a single trusted person in the hall!

"What do you want to do? Queen, do you want to rebel?"

The queen turned around with a long piece of brocade, her chest rose and fell, and she seemed to have made a lot of determination. She knelt down coldly and said something that could make the world collapse: "I came here uninvited today.

Otherwise, I just want to ask His Majesty to abdicate!"

Wang Zhu had already guessed that she was here to force him into the palace, and he was most afraid that she would chop him to death without any explanation. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, killing an emperor was as difficult as killing a chicken. The country often changed hands just because of a joke.

The silence in the main hall could be heard. The ministers were all stunned and scared out of their wits. This was too sudden!

There was silence for dozens of seconds. Some ministers had woken up from their shock and spit out the surprise they had held in their throats. Some were angry, some were in agreement, and there was a lot of noise!

"Shut up -" Xiang Ting pulled out his bronze sword with a clanging sound and shouted sternly: "No noise in the court hall, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Two rows of armored soldiers squatted on the ground with swords and spears to add to their prestige.

The chicken coop-like hall immediately cooled down.

"Your Majesty, please abdicate!" Xiang Ting and Qiang Qi knelt down together.

"Why, why do I, who is so good, want to abdicate the throne? Queen, you lead people to force the palace to rebel and deserve death. Even if you kill me, the people in the world will not be convinced!" Wang Zhuting wondered, there must be a reason for rebellion, otherwise how can you convince the public?

?!

"The reason is that you, the second emperor Hu Hai, are not a descendant of King Qin Zhuangxiang at all, and you are not worthy of sitting in the main hall and giving orders!" The queen pointed her halberd in anger, and her red lips trembled! She stood up from the ground in a hurry.

"You - you are talking nonsense - you are talking nonsense, without any basis, and are full of nonsense!" Wang Zhu felt guilty. Is Ying Zheng the son of King Zhuang Xiang? "

The queen's red lips were slightly protruding, and a sinister smile appeared on her pretty face. She let out a light and sharp laugh, as if a steel needle had pierced Wang Zhu's eardrum. This laugh was so confident, so confident, as if

She already held in her hands the irrefutable evidence that exposed Ying Zheng's life experience! The queen lowered her usually shining eyelids and said in a low and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, you should recognize the Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager? What the Empress Dowager? The wife of King Zhuang Xiang?

"The Queen Mother Huayang has evidence to prove that the First Emperor was not a descendant of the Qin Dynasty at all!" The Queen stared at Wang Zhu for a moment, like a lioness staring at a goat near her mouth.

Wang Zhu also understood. It turned out that the noble old lady was the famous King and Queen Qin Xiaowen - 'Mrs. Huayang'. Didn't you say that she was perverted? Why is she still alive?

Many old ministers recognized Mrs. Huayang and knelt down to salute her. This showed that she was not a fake! Mrs. Huayang was indeed still alive in the world.

Even Mrs. Huayang may not have real evidence to prove Qin Shihuang's life experience, right? Wang Zhu held on to luck and resisted to the end.

"The great-grandson met with the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, do you really have evidence to prove that the First Emperor was not the son of King Zhuang Xiang? This matter is related to the state of Qin, so we can't talk nonsense! The First Emperor established a lasting hegemony for the Qin Dynasty. Many of you here are

An old minister of the First Emperor is loyal to the First Emperor, so the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother must not chill everyone's hearts!!" Wang Zhu warned Hua Yang softly but forcefully.

Mrs. Huayang's reaction was even more intense than Wang Zhu's. She was furious. She turned her head to the ground and uttered a powerful and sonorous voice: "I can prove that the First Emperor is not the son of King Zhuang Xiang. He is Lu Buwei's bastard!!"

Wang Zhu roared: "Shut up, Mrs. Huayang, you are too presumptuous. If you slander and insult the First Emperor like this, even the Empress Dowager will be executed! And you, Queen, you have committed a serious crime of annihilating the nine tribes!"

The queen sneered, "Didn't you kill all the nine tribes?"

Wang Zhu's heart was like an arrow, and he had a cold war: "When did I—Queen, we are a married couple, why are you trying to punish me behind my back?"

The queen's eyelids twitched and her eye circles were a little red: "Now that we know we are married, it's too late, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhu was no longer polite to Mrs. Huayang and asked sternly: "If you want to rebel, just be honest.

Come and rebel. Wouldn't it be clean to kill me with one sword? Why are you spreading rumors indiscriminately, making the world laugh, and bringing shame to the First Emperor and the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty?"

"It is Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng who really shamed the Qin Dynasty!" Mrs. Huayang's face was covered with frost and her voice was cold: "Lu Buwei wrote a handwritten letter to me before he died. The letter stated clearly that he sent Zhao Ji away

When she gave it to King Zhuang Xiang, Zhao Ji was already pregnant, and the First Emperor was born prematurely, which fully proves that Lu Buwei is telling the truth!"

As Mrs. Huayang spoke, she took out a parchment letter from her sleeve and unfolded it for all the adults present to read. Wang Wan, Zhou Qingchen, Chun Yuyue, Zhao Ying, Jianchou Zhaohai, and Changwuhou Yingcheng all read it.

He was so shocked that his face turned as green as a bronze sword. After reading the last part, Wei Lin fell to his knees with a thud and shouted like a crying father: "The Empress Dowager, I am guilty, I am confused, as a court official, I can't see it"

Lu Buwei’s evil plan was revealed, and Lu Buwei’s scoundrels were allowed to control the country for decades. Please punish the Queen Mother!”

Wang Zhu couldn't laugh or cry at Kai Lin's performance: "Master Wei Lin, you are too shameless. You have only been an official for a few years? Do you recognize Lu Buwei?"

Wei Lin ignored Wang Zhu at all and just kept slapping himself hard while shouting: "My lords, the matter has been revealed to the world. We should support the true Miao descendants of the Qin Dynasty to sit on the dragon throne and drive out Lu Buwei's evil descendants.

Get off the stage!”

Ministers, you look at me. Each one has his or her own idea. If Ying Hu Hai is deposed, who should he make as emperor, Gong Zi Ying? That is even worse. Since there is something wrong with Ying Zheng's bloodline, Gong Zi Ying is definitely a bastard.

No doubt.

"This letter cannot explain the problem at all. Maybe the letter is a forgery!" Wang Zhu questioned!

Wang Wan shook his head: "Your Majesty, this letter is indeed written by Lu Buwei. I have read many official documents issued by Lu Buwei over the years, and I can recognize it at a glance."

Wang Zhu knew that Wang Wan was seeking truth from facts and had no other intentions, so he continued: "That's not right. Lu Buwei was deprived of his power in his later years and was eventually convicted and sentenced to death. He resented the First Emperor in his heart, so he spread rumors randomly. This letter is basically

Malicious slander.”

The Queen sneered and said: "Your Majesty, do you still think that Wang Ben and those people will lead troops to rescue you?"

Wang Zhu was startled. He did think so. Wang Bi, Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, and Zhang Han were all arranging soldiers in the military camp. If they got the news and came with their troops, the situation would immediately reverse, and Lu Buwei's letter would immediately change.

A piece of waste paper!

"Bring it up!" the queen shouted outside the palace!

A large group of armored soldiers pushed and pushed Wang Ben, Li Xin, Qin Ao, Qin She, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Li Shiqi and others in, but Wang Ao and Wang Ling were not seen.

"You - what's going on with you?" Wang Zhu became desperate instantly.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Someone falsely conveyed an imperial edict to give the soldiers wine. Unexpectedly, the wine was laced with sweat medicine. After drinking the wine, we fell into a drowsy sleep. When we woke up, we were tied with ropes and taken away.

Came here."

"Queen, you are so vicious, you deliberately want to kill me!" Wang Zhu wanted to rush forward to seize a hostage, but Qiang Qi and Xiang Ting immediately jumped out to block him.

"My lords, if your lords have not made up their minds yet, I still have one piece of evidence here that can prove the life experience of the First Emperor!"

Wang Wan said cautiously: "Then please bring it out!" "Okay!" Mrs. Huayang's old but still delicate and slender jade fingers took out a black and smooth brocade box from her arms: "Lu Buwei

If the letter is false, then Zhao Ji’s testimony can’t be false, right? Zhizi Moruomu, who is the son of the First Emperor? Zhao Ji, a mother, should know best.”

The brocade box was opened. Inside was a silk letter with dense small characters written on it. Wang Wan was the first to read it. After reading it, he sighed deeply, shaking his head like a rattle. Zhou Qingchen and others also sighed after reading it.

Endless.

Chun Yuyue, a Confucian, valued orthodoxy the most. After reading it, he stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Excuse me, the Empress Dowager, a country cannot be without a king for a day. If the emperor is deposed, who can take the throne? Now these clans are all the First Emperor.

Our descendants!" In other words, these people with the surname Ying are all bastards!

"I have already thought about this. The descendants of the Ying family before King Zhuang Xiang are all pure. King Xiaowen's lineage is not prosperous and there is no suitable candidate. We can choose a candidate from the lineage of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

.Ying Kui, the younger brother of King Zhaoxiang, fought for the country and made great contributions to the country. However, he was squeezed out by the powerful Prime Minister Fan Sui and stayed away from Guanzhong. My intention is to establish Ying Kui's descendants as emperors!"

The queen then said, "My lords, this person in front of you is the grandson of Ying Kuai, Lord Gaoling Ying Huo -" Before they could finish speaking, everyone heard a wolf howl, and Wei Lin shot out like an arrow and knelt in front of Ying Huo.

, and kept kowtowing: "I, Wei Lin, are here to see your majesty, long live your majesty!" As soon as Wei Lin knelt down, more than a dozen ministers who were watching followed him and knelt down.

Mrs. Huayang pointed at Wang Wan, Zhou Qingchen, and Zhao Hai, and Yingcheng sternly reprimanded: "You still don't know how to wake up until now?"

Wang Zhu is a little awakened! Zhao Ji's letter is in his hand at the moment. It writes clearly like an autobiography, how Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei met and fell in love, and how Lu Buwei took her after she became pregnant with Ying Zheng.

Sent to a stranger. The letter stated in a conclusive tone that Ying Zheng was indeed Lu Buwei's flesh and blood.

Wang Zhu was speechless. Wang Wan did not doubt the letter's notes, which was enough to prove that the letter was not a forgery.

Wang Wan is hesitating, Zhou Qingchen and others are waiting for Wang Wan to express his position!

The reason for Wang Wan's hesitation was simple. He couldn't tell whether the current country belonged to King Qin Zhuangxiang or Qin Shihuang.

In terms of orthodoxy, it is very orthodox that Qin II inherited the throne from the First Emperor. As for saying that the First Emperor was Lu Buwei's son, it has nothing to do with Qin II. Qin Shihuang had already established a dynasty that surpassed the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty with his outstanding military power.

With dozens of times the number of ancestors, how much does the former Qin have to do with the current Qin?!

Wang Wan thought to himself, should I be loyal to the ancestors of Qin or to His Majesty the First Emperor?

Wang Wan was hesitant here, but over there the ministers knelt down and worshiped, shouting long live the mountain. Lord Gaoling acted like an emperor and gave a speech: "Everyone loves you -"

Suddenly, the mountains shook and the earth shook outside the hall, shouts of killing shook the sky, and countless defeated soldiers who looked like bloody gourds poured in from the door. The ministers were so frightened that they all ran towards the corner rolling and crawling.

The soldiers in the palace knew something had happened and rushed out to join the battle group.

Wang Zhu took this opportunity to pull out the military spurs from his boots and cut off the ropes tied to Wang Bi and others. Wang Bi, Li Xin and Zhang Han knocked down several soldiers, grabbed their weapons and started fighting.

After a while, Dong Yi and Wang Ling led a group of soldiers and horses into the hall. The rebels who were killed in various pieces had no way to go, and they all retreated into the hall. The Queen, Hua Yang, and Lord Gaoling were shocked.

"Hahahahaha, Lord Gaoling and Queen Mother Huayang, it is probably too early to hold the enthronement ceremony right now. You have calculated everything, but you still missed Dong Yi." Gongzi Ying and Wang Ao were closely guarding a group of soldiers.

Enter the main hall under protection.

"Stop - stop -" Wang Ao raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, the rebels are gone. How long will it take if you don't surrender? Your Majesty is magnanimous and will not pursue your crimes."

Wang Zhu hurriedly said: "Surrender and get away with it, surrender and get away with it!"

The rebels were at the end of their rope. Some of them immediately laid down their weapons and returned to the embrace of the people. Others, although they refused to surrender, also retreated one after another.

The queen made a clanging sound and pulled out the sharp blade from the waist of Lord Gaoling, who was so frightened that his face turned pale. She scolded, "For the sake of the country of Great Qin, why should we be afraid of death? The faint king is not of the blood of Great Qin. We depose him today. It is in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people."

,What’s wrong!!”

When some of the rebels who were watching heard this, they picked up their swords and guns and glared at Wang Zhu angrily.

"Hahahaha, it turns out to be the Queen Mother of Huayang. I have just heard from Gongzi Ying about your affairs. I heard that the Queen Mother of Huayang has evidence to prove that the First Emperor is not the son of King Zhuang Xiang. Can you show me the evidence?"

The queen said sharply: "Who are you?"
