From teaching Qin Shi Huang, my great Qin founding ancestor

Chapter 85 Ying Zheng: My wife will only be Afang!

Time flies!
Five months passed.

Ying Zichu died and Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne.

It did not affect the stability of Daqin.

It was rare for other countries to mobilize troops against the Qin Dynasty. After all, when Ying Zheng ascended the throne, the four great masters of the Qin Dynasty had already been personally guarding the camp.

Four great masters and a million elite Qin warriors.

This powerful national strength is enough to suppress other countries from making any moves.

The Great Palace!
as always.

Two regents stood at the foot of the stairs.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and Zhao Ji sat beside him.

Five months passed.

The court seemed to have ushered in a new atmosphere.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"In the new year, the old soldiers have been discharged and the new soldiers have been enlisted."

"I also ask the king to issue a royal decree to recruit soldiers from all over the country and enlist those of appropriate age."

Lu Buwei stood up, bowed and began to speak.

"Old soldiers are old enough to retire and return home, and new soldiers are recruited and reorganized. This is the national policy of our Great Qin to recruit soldiers, and it should be approved."

"According to the past practice of the Great Qin, young men in the family who are fourteen years old or above will join the army to serve." Ying Zheng said slowly.

But Lu Buwei did not retreat immediately.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhao Ji.

Now that Ying Zheng has not yet taken power, the royal seal has been temporarily handed over to Queen Mother Zhao Ji. Therefore, memorials to the emperor and many important matters require Zhao Ji's approval.

"It's about the country."

"It should be carried out according to the usual practice." Zhao Ji said slowly.

After becoming the queen mother, she also holds the royal seal. Now Zhao Ji also has a majestic aura.

"I will obey the Queen Mother's order." Lu Buwei immediately took the order and withdrew.

"Please report to the Queen Mother."

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"Now that the king has ascended the throne, there is no concubine in the harem, which is not good for the descendants of our royal family."

"I think that we should select concubines for the king to enter the palace, and then choose the queen from among the concubines to stabilize the harem." Ying Wen stood up and spoke loudly.

Hear the sound!

There was a flicker of emotion between Zhao Ji's brows.

And Ying Zheng frowned.

"This matter."

"I have made up my mind."

"When I was a hostage in Zhao State, I had already pledged my life to a woman."

"This girl is the daughter of the great doctor Xia Wuqie, and she is one month younger than me."

"I have proposed marriage to Dr. Xia."

"Please ask the chief of clan to arrange the wedding date immediately. I want to marry the daughter of Dr. Xia as my wife and make her the queen of the Great Qin."

Ying Zheng spoke slowly, his words leaving no room for doubt.

For him.

Marrying Xia Yufang into the palace and making her his wife was his greatest wish.

Hear this.

Ying Wen's expression changed and he looked at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji, who was beside Ying Zheng, had a frown on her face.

"It's OK to be the daughter of the great doctor Yingxia, but not the empress."

"My Great Qin Queen must be both virtuous and talented, well-mannered, and must come from a great family."

"always."

"My queens are all princesses from other countries, and they are of noble status."

Zhao Ji spoke slowly.

What he said undoubtedly directly rejected Ying Zheng's intention to marry Xia Yufang.

You can be my concubine.

Not as a wife.

This is Zhao Ji's attitude.

In Zhao Ji's view, her son must choose a woman from a large family with a good family background as his queen.

Born into a prominent family.

Or a princess from another country.

This is what you deserve.

As for Xia Yufang.

Although Zhao Ji was grateful that she had accompanied Ying Zheng in Zhao State, she became the queen mother after she ascended the throne.

Under the influence of power.

Zhao Ji had already forgotten.

Listen to what Zhao Ji said.

Ying Zheng's face turned ugly.

He thought of many people trying to stop him, but he never expected that it would be his mother who would stop him.

The joys and sorrows that we once shared in Zhao State, and the deep friendship that we once had in Zhao State, now seem to be gone.

now.

Anger welled up in Ying Zheng's heart. "If my mother says so."

"Then I have also made it clear that my only wife is Afang, and the only queen of the Qin Dynasty is Afang."

"If it weren't for Afang, I wouldn't marry anyone else."

"Even if she is from a noble family, even if she is a princess from another country, I don't want her at all."

Ying Zheng turned around and replied coldly.

"you……"

Zhao Ji's face changed. She didn't seem to have expected that Ying Zheng would directly oppose her and say such words in front of the gaze of all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Queen Mother."

"Your Majesty values ​​friendship and loyalty, this is naturally a good thing."

"Besides, Your Majesty has someone in mind, so I will help Your Majesty."

Lu Buwei stood up and said loudly.

Ever since Ying Zichu entrusted his son to the care of Lu Buwei before his death, Lu Buwei has been working very hard for the Qin State and has not dared to slack off in the slightest.

Apart from that.

He even treated Ying Zheng as his own son and did his best to assist him.

Now that he had seen Ying Zheng's determination, he naturally spoke up to help Ying Zheng.

"Father Zhong."

Seeing that Lu Buwei spoke up for him, Ying Zheng showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

But he saw Lu Buwei speak.

Zhao Ji was a little angry.

"Traditionally, matters concerning the marriage of offspring have been decided by the elders."

"Does the Prime Minister want to seize my authority as a mother?"

Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei with some anger.

"I don't dare."

"But speaking of elders."

"In the past, the former king entrusted the support of the king to me, and the former king also asked the king to call me Zhongfu."

"I also have the right to argue about the king's marriage."

Lu Buwei raised his head and replied calmly.

"Lü Buwei."

"You are brave."

"How dare you be so presumptuous to the Queen Mother."

Ying Wen stood up and scolded Lu Buwei.

"This is too much, Prime Minister."

"The Queen Mother will decide the king's marriage."

"The Prime Minister is a little ungrateful."

"This is extremely disrespectful..."

Many court officials in the court began to discuss the matter.

Of course.

Lü Buwei was not afraid of the accusations from the whole court, and still spoke up for Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty is not a child, he is the king of our Great Qin. Your Majesty's marriage is naturally based on your Majesty."

"I will make the decision on Zheng'er's marriage, and it is not the Prime Minister's turn to worry about it."

"Nothing's happening here."

"Dismiss the dynasty."

Zhao Ji snorted coldly and waved her hand.

Then he stood up and walked towards the side hall.

"Farewell to the Queen Mother."

All the officials came to see him off respectfully.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne with a very ugly look on his face.

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

All the officials bowed to Ying Zheng one after another.

only.

Under the leadership of Ying Wen.

A large number of court officials gradually left the palace.

finally.

Only Lu Buwei was left.

"Father Zhong."

"Are they...forcing me?"

Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

Today's matter.

This made Ying Zheng, who had been sailing smoothly, feel frustrated.

Although he ascended the throne, he did not have the authority of a king. All power was held by his mother. Moreover, his mother was no longer the mother she used to be. She was the first to oppose his marriage and opposed him marrying Afang.

This couldn't help but make Ying Zheng feel a little sad.

He thought of everyone, but the only one he didn't think of was his own mother!
