Chapter 10 Zhao Zheng’s position!
Da Qin, Xianyang!
The heir's house.

"Brother."

"You have done me a great service at today's court meeting."

"As long as you return this time, my position as heir will be more secure."

Once back.

Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei excitedly.

His trust in Lu Buwei can be seen from the way he addressed Lu Buwei.

of course.

The same is true.

Ying Zichu was not originally considered outstanding among the sons of Crown Prince An Guojun. His only achievement was being held hostage in Zhao. Apart from that, he had no other strengths.

But under Lu Buwei's plan.

Ying Zichu was adopted by Ying Zhu's wife Huayang as his son, and his status became that of a legitimate son.

This is also true.

He was then granted the title of heir.

"Heir."

"Did you see what happened in the court today?" Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zichu and smiled.

"Grandfather Wang is well versed in hegemony. After destroying Zhou, the prestige of our Great Qin will be even greater." Ying Zichu said immediately.

"Do not."

Lu Buwei shook his head: "It's another matter."

"The ancestral temple needs the seal of the Zhou emperor and the Nine Cauldrons?" Ying Zichu asked again.

But Lu Buwei still shook his head.

"Brother."

"We have been friends for many years, so there is no need to keep me in suspense." Ying Zichu waved his hand and smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty mentioned Zhao Zheng. If I remember correctly, this is the young man who was in Handan in the past." Lu Buwei asked with a smile.

Mention it.

Ying Zichu looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I can tell you this, but you must not spread it to others."

"In the early days, the king had a dream that his luck was like a dragon and he was the emperor."

"This is in line with the prophecy left by the ancestor of the ancestral temple."

Lu Buwei's expression changed, and he asked in surprise, "So, Master Zheng is the man of destiny predicted by Qin Shizu?"

"Yes." Ying Zichu nodded heavily.

"Great."

"Heir."

"You must bring Master Zheng back to Daqin safely. The stability of your position depends on Master Zheng."

"The ancestor prophesied, the man of destiny."

"Under this destiny, Master Zheng is the future King of Qin."

"And as the father of Prince Zheng, the heir's position will be more stable." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

"But this time, will Zhao really let them go so easily?" Ying Zichu was a little worried.

This time!

"I wonder if the heir is here?"

A voice came from outside the hall.

"Yangquan-kun."

Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei looked at each other.

Without waiting for Ying Zichu's response.

A middle-aged man walked slowly into the hall.

"The heir is here indeed." It was Yangquan Jun Mi Chen, the younger brother of the Crown Prince's wife Huayang.

The reason why Ying Zichu was able to become the adopted son and the legitimate son was because Lu Buwei went to lobby Mi Chen and moved Lady Huayang.

"I wonder what important matter Lord Huayang has?" Ying Zichu asked with a fist clasped.

"I've come here to ask you something on the madam's orders." Mi Chen looked at Ying Zichu with a serious expression.

"Please speak." Ying Zichu said.

"The king has issued an edict to have his heir bring back the Zhao girl and her son from the State of Zhao."

"I wonder what his position will be after he is brought back?" Mi Chen stared at Ying Zichu with a bit of intimidation.

Ying Zichu's face changed.

Lu Buwei frowned on the side.

They naturally understood Madam Huayang's thoughts.

After returning to Qin, he became the legitimate son of Lady Huayang, who naturally arranged a woman of the Chu clan for Ying Zichu, and gave birth to a son named Cheng Jiao. If Zhao Zheng had never returned, everything would have been fine.

But now the King of Qin has issued an edict to bring Zhao Zheng and his son back, which will have a huge impact.

"The Zhao girl is the heir's legal wife, so the prince we bring back is naturally also the legitimate son." Lu Buwei spoke first.

Mi Chen frowned: "Is this what the heir meant?"

Ying Zichu raised his head and replied calmly: "This is what the king meant."

Hear the king.

Mi Chen's face changed, he looked at Ying Zichu deeply, and said nothing more.

"In that case, I will go back and report to my wife." Mi Chen said, then turned around and left the hall.

After he left.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zichu with a serious face and said, "My son, no matter what, you must not fall into the trap of Madam Huayang."

"Brother."

"What do you think she is thinking about?" Ying Zichu said with a bitter look on his face.

"The prince is often ill and weak."

"Lady Huayang wants to become a figure like the Queen Dowager Xuan in the past." Lu Buwei smiled and said accurately.

Hear this.

Ying Zichu also understood, but a hint of coldness appeared on his face: "I can sit on the throne of heir thanks to my wife, but if you want to use this to manipulate the power of the Qin kingship passed down by the ancestor, I can't do it."

"Don't worry, my son."

"I will always assist you." Lu Buwei said immediately.

Huayang Palace.

"Did he really say that?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to make Zhao Zheng your legitimate son?" Huayang frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

"This is what Ying Zichu said himself."

"Moreover, today in the court, the king personally asked Ying Zichu to bring back Zhao Zheng and his son from the State of Zhao. This is no small matter when the king says it, which shows how much the king values ​​Zhao Zheng and his son."

"If Zhao Zheng comes back, based on his status as the eldest son, Cheng Jiao will become a bastard." Mi Chen said helplessly.

Huayang looked solemn.

Become a dragon.

But he was the grandson she had high hopes for.

It concerns whether she can become a figure like Queen Dowager Xuan in the future.

Women are also ambitious.

"What if he doesn't come back?" Huayang looked at Mi Chen with cold eyes.

Just a word.

Mi Chen immediately understood.
-
Zhou border!
The main camp of the coalition forces.

Compared with the strong morale of the coalition forces a few days ago, they seemed to be determined to destroy Qin and not return.

The morale of the coalition forces was somewhat low at the moment.

After the retreat.

The Qin army set up many ambushes, causing the coalition forces to suffer considerable losses.

"Reporting to Lord Xi Zhou."

"Luoyi has been surrounded by the Qin army, but the Qin army has not attacked."

"From the current situation, it seems that Qin is waiting for our coalition forces to come to its rescue."

A Zhou soldier came forward to report.

"Lord Pingyuan, Lord Xinling."

"I wonder if you two are willing to lead the troops to follow me to rescue the emperor?" Xi Zhoujun looked at Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng with a pleading look.

"This...this..."

The two of them hesitated, and it was obvious that they didn't want to go.

Now that the coalition forces have dispersed and suffered heavy losses, it would be futile to go to Luoyi for rescue. After all, the Zhou Kingdom was destroyed, and it would be one more excuse to deal with the Qin Kingdom in the future.

Looking at the two of them.

Xi Zhoujun could only shake his head helplessly and looked at the soldiers beside him: "Send people to the Qin camp to negotiate peace."

The moment these words were spoken.

King Xi Zhou understood that his Zhou Kingdom might not survive for long.
