Chapter 11 Insidious?

Empress Dowager Huayang has been a little confused recently because of Ying Zheng's series of tricks.

Meng Wu, the son of Meng Ao, suddenly took over the position of lieutenant and took charge of the entire Tiger Ben Army in Xianyang. Then the fire cavalry under Meng Ao entered the Qin Palace. Overnight, the entire Xianyang seemed to have changed hands, and to be precise, it was back to his real master.

"Why did Meng Ao suddenly fall to Ying Zheng? And what did Ying Zheng want to do? Can't he wait for three years?" Empress Dowager Huayang covered her mouth with a handkerchief. She had become angry recently.

"Aunt, it's useless to say these things now. What we are thinking about now is what the King of Qin will do next. And whether there is Lu Buwei's work in this matter?" Changping Junxiong Qi said.

He was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Huayang and the son of the King of Chu. He came to express condolences on behalf of the State of Chu because of the death of King Xiang. After staying in Xianyang, he even served as the Tingwei in the transaction between Empress Dowager Huayang in Lu Buwei.

"How do you say this?" Empress Dowager Huayang rubbed the corners of her mouth and said.

She was still very satisfied with Changpingjun, calm and wise, especially at his age, who deserved all the praises in the world.

"Although I don't know how the King of Qin made the Montessors win his loyalty to him so quickly, one thing is certain that the King of Qin, who was loyal to the Montessors, would not be satisfied with the ownership of a lieutenant position. He must have other plans. If it were just like this, it would be fine. I am afraid that Lu Buwei will play a role in it. If there is Lu Buwei behind this matter, it would undoubtedly be a very bad situation for us." Chang Pingjun explained.

"You mean, they are going to take action?" Empress Dowager Huayang said in surprise.

"No, probably not. Although Lu Buwei is the prime minister, he can't do it if he wants Meng Ao to contribute to him." Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head and said.

"So, please go to Xianyang Palace to see if there is Lu Buwei's participation behind this matter. If there is Lu Buwei, it means that some consensus has been reached between Qin King Zhao Empress Dowager Zhao, and it will be extremely unfavorable to us. If Lu Buwei did not participate, the situation will be much better. At least it can prove that the Qin King will not take other actions, because he wants to smooth the gap between us and Lu Buwei caused by this matter at the same time." Chang Pingjun analyzed.

"It seems that I'm going there. I didn't expect this kid to be so uneasy. Zhao Ji is so. The child doesn't understand the power of it. Doesn't she understand it either?" Empress Dowager Huayang said dissatisfied.

Changpingjun smiled bitterly because he didn't say something. If Lu Buwei had not participated in this matter, although they would not have the right to do so for the time being, there would be more trouble in the future, because it means that the King of Qin had obtained allegiance from the Meng clan with his own strength. If that were the case, the King of Qin who had just ascended the throne would be too terrible.

If all this planned by Lu Buwei would temporarily cause big trouble to them, it would not have a big impact in the long run, because Lu Buwei's expanded power by attacking his side would only slowly push the King of Qin to his side.

Compared to the surprise of Empress Dowager Huayang, Zhao Ji's mood became much more complicated because she found that she didn't seem to know her son.

Compared to the speculation of Empress Dowager Huayang, the news Zhao Ji received was more accurate, because she was told by Ying Zheng herself.

Xianyang Palace.

"In other words, using 200,000 troops to transfer all the people from Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Huayang to Hangu Pass, which has created the current power vacuum in Xianyang that you have planned long ago?" Zhao Ji looked at her familiar and strange son in front of her, and didn't know for a moment whether she should be proud or something else.

"That's right, mother, you should know that if those people are in Xianyang, even if I get allegiance from the Montessus, it will be difficult for me to truly control Xianyang. Only by letting those people leave temporarily can I have a chance to start." Ying Zheng replied.

"You are still impulsive. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Lu Buwei reacted when you did this?" Zhao Ji asked withdrew her extra thoughts.

"Of course I know that Zhongfu will be very angry."

"Then why do you still do this? Don't you know that without Lu Buwei, you can't sit steadily as the throne. As for the loyalty of the Montessori, it is not reliable. Lu Buwei is our real ally." Zhao Ji's voice rose a lot.

Compared with the situation where the Qin military clans were only loyal to the King of Qin and were not interested in who became the King of Qin, Lu Buwei was a truly reliable ally because the interests of the two were closely related.

"Of course I know, so I will take out enough things to satisfy Zhongfa. Moreover, mother, you should believe that compared to us who cannot live without Zhongfa, Zhongfa cannot live without us. We do not ask for him, but cooperate." Ying Zheng said calmly.

"What are you trying to satisfy Lu Buwei?" Zhao Ji asked.

"The great power of Qin State's government, mother, do you think these can satisfy Zhongfu?" Ying Zheng said.

"Do you want to defeat the Empress Dowager Huayang?" Zhao Ji was shocked. What exactly did her son want to do? Empress Dowager Huayang, that was an existence that even the former king had to give in to his politeness.

"It's not my grandmother, but those who are too close to Chu State." Ying Zheng added.

"Your father..." Zhao Ji felt that she should persuade her son because she knew that in the three poles of Qin constructed before the death of the previous king, Empress Dowager Huayang was an indispensable pole. If Empress Dowager Huayang was not without, her own ability would not be enough to balance Lu Buwei. This is also the reason why she hated Empress Dowager Huayang very much but could not greet her with a smile.

"I know that the power structure built by my father is for the stability of Qin and to ensure the stability of my throne before I became an adult. However, mother, I don't want to waste ten years of time for this stability. This stability is not worth the ten years of Qin's time to maintain it."

In the original trajectory, Ying Zheng followed the outline of the previous king Yiren, sat high above the throne, and ignored the disputes within Qin, and his purpose was also achieved. He used this method to spend his weakest decade, and finally used the conflicts between Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei to take down all the three families and take over the power of Qin.

He is undoubtedly the smartest hunter, watching the enemy defeat the enemy, but he himself is the only one who benefits.

This seems to be very good.

But what did he pay for it?

Ying Zheng held Zhao Ji's shoulder and pressed her who wanted to get up back to her original place. Ying Zheng said again:

"It would be fine if it was only ten years, but Mother, I don't want you to be involved in these power struggles. There are some things I said, Mother, you may be angry, but I still want to say, Mother, you are not a smart person, at least you are far inferior to Lu Buwei and Grandmother, you can't beat them."

Zhao Ji wanted to refute, but she couldn't say it when she saw Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Do you know, mother, I once had a dream, dreaming that everything was as designed by my father. The Qin Dynasty's government was divided into three parts by my mother, you and Zhong's grandmother, and it was difficult to separate. I looked at me, and I saw that you and Zhong's father joined forces to eradicate the tillage and severely damaged the Empress Dowager Huayang lineage. I sat down and watched Zhong's father ruin your reputation with conspiracy, and I finally used my grandmother and the people you left behind to eradicate Zhong's father. Mother, do you think I should do this?"

Zhao Ji was stunned by Ying Zheng's series of words.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Jiqiai said.

"I'm talking about dreams."

"So it's a dream." Zhao Ji murmured, as if this could soothe the panic in her heart.

"But this dream will eventually become a reality." Ying Zheng's voice was very cold.

It was so cold that Zhao Ji couldn't help but beat a chill.

"What are you talking about?" Zhao Ji still chose not to believe it, and she couldn't believe it either.

"All I'm telling me is making up a story."

"I just said it shouldn't be a dream, but such a story is strange." Zhao Ji forced a smile.

"Does my mother want to hear this story?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Let me tell me how good you are in making stories?" Zhao Ji looked very interested.

Ying Zheng slowly explained the story that should have existed in a brief revision. After Ying Zheng finished telling it, Zhao Ji was already bloodless and just kept saying, "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this."

But reason told her that those things might really happen, and others wouldn't say that for now. At least based on her understanding of herself, she would do such things.

It took a long time before Zhao Ji said to Ying Zheng: "If this story is true, shouldn't it be very good for Zheng'er? All your opponents have been eradicated by you, which should be a very happy thing."

"Does my mother think that the ending is good for me?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It should be pretty good." Zhao Ji smiled, and seemed to be very happy.

"Mother, do you still remember how we, mother and son, survived in Handan? I will never forget those memories. Although that memory is very bad, every time I think about it, it makes people feel very warm."

"Handan." Zhao Ji sighed long.

"When I was in Handan, I swear that if I had the chance, I would let my mother live happily all my life and never suffer any more of sadness and pain." When Ying Zheng said this, his eyes turned slightly red.

"Are you doing all this for me?" Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng and felt very warm.

Ying Zheng nodded silently.

Zhao Ji suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the hall, her face sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes hideous.

"Okay, I'll help you, Zheng'er, don't you hate the current political situation? I'll help you. I'll hand over what your father left me to you now." Zhao Ji suddenly walked to Ying Zheng and stared at Ying Zheng with his eyes and said viciously.

When Zhao Ji, who was in a turbulent mood, returned to her bedroom, her agitation calmed down. When she recalled Ying Zheng's previous words, she couldn't help but laughed in a daze.

But the laughter didn't last long but it solidified at the same time.

"This kid has said so much, can't he be lying to hand over the tiger talisman and Luowang?" Zhao Ji murmured to himself.

But soon Zhao Ji smiled again.
