Chapter 17
After blocking Zhou Yuan's first wave of attacks, Zhao Chengping, the monk who was inexplicably beaten, was confused. Seeing that Zhou Yuan had another intention to come forward, he quickly raised his hand:

"Wait a moment!"

Zhou Yuan said angrily:
"What else do you have to say?"

have!There are too many words, and I don’t know where to start. For example:
"Why hit me?"

Zhou Yuan was obviously very dissatisfied with this question:
"Shouldn't you be fighting! Where did you go last night?"

It's too wronged. Mr. Pingyuan never said before that Qin country still has access control time, and he must go back on time. Why is Zhou Yuan so angry now?Zhao Chengping smiled and said:
"I didn't know that I had to go back at night, and no one told me. I promise not to do it again next time! Brother Zhou, calm down, calm down, and I invite you to dinner?"

"Eat, you know how to eat!" Zhou Yuan punched again.

As the saying goes, clay figurines still have three parts of earthy nature. No matter how good-tempered Zhao Chengping is, he can't be beaten again and again for no reason.
"If you want to hit me, give me a reason first. If it's really my fault, I'll take the punishment and never fight back. If you're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude!"

There are people coming and going on the street, and many people have gathered around at this time, fighting in the street, this matter looks so exciting, the Qin law is strict, and those who gather to fight are severely punished, no matter right or wrong, both sides will be arrested and sent to hard labor.

Zhou Yuan said viciously:

"Go back to the post house first, and then settle accounts with you."

After all, he dragged Zhao Chengping to the posthouse, no way, looking at him like this, he might not be able to get out after going to the posthouse. The Queen Mother's business is not over yet, how could he just go back and miss a big deal.

He broke free from Zhou Yuan's hand holding his skirt, and took a few steps back:

"Brother Zhou, I still have something important to do. After I'm done, I'll come back and apologize."

"Stop for me." Zhou Yuan wanted to chase, but Zhao Chengping was far faster than him. He saw his back turning around in the crowd before disappearing.

He was a little surprised. This speed, which was as fast as a gust of wind, is something that ordinary human beings would have. Who is this Zhao Chengping who was born as a gambler?

Zhou Yuan was nowhere to be seen when he turned his head, so Zhao Chengping stopped, looked around, and found that he was near Huayang Lord's Mansion. If I remember correctly, the road from the fork in the road to Huayang Lord's Mansion was almost across half of Xianyang. When did his footsteps go so fast? Could it be that he was scared by Zhou Yuan?

He remembered a joke he had read on the Internet: "A pack of wolves are chasing you, and you are also an Olympic champion." Zhou Yuan... Could it be that he already has the effect of a pack of wolves in his heart?

Putting aside the confusion in his heart, he straightened his clothes, stepped up to the steps of Lord Huayang's Mansion, and said to the gatekeeper: "The Queen Mother ordered me to pass the edict to Lord Huayang."

The gatekeeper saw that Zhao Chengping was wearing brand-new luxurious clothes, and he had an extraordinary appearance, so he had no doubt about him, so he immediately sent a message to the inside, and soon, the news that Mr. Huayang was invited to see him came from inside.

Huayang Jun Mi Rong is the half-brother of the Empress Dowager Xuan. He once led the Qin army to attack the Chu State and conquered eight cities in the Chu State. After ceding the land for compensation, he also got the new city of Chu State as a fief, and he can be regarded as a military strongman of the last generation.

Unfortunately, as Empress Dowager Xuan lost power, his great contributions to the Qin State also became the reason why he was jealous of King Zhaoxiang. After Wei Ran was sent to Taoyi, he was soon dismissed from office and stayed in Huayang Jun The government is waiting for the next order from King Qin.

Just the day before yesterday, Empress Dowager Xuan secretly sent someone to tell him that King Zhaoxiang accepted Fan Sui's suggestion and planned to issue an edict to take back his fief and new city, leaving only the original Huayang, and asked him not to stay in Xianyang, but to return to the fief immediately.

Mr. Huayang has been worrying about this for the past two days. He knows what will happen to Wei Ran, thinking that he has lived and died for Daqin all his life, and in the end he will end up with a fief because of a debater's tongue-in-cheek In the end, he was deeply disappointed that this nephew was so unfeeling.

Just now he heard the servant say that there was a messenger from the Queen Mother at the door, and he felt even more uneasy. He wondered if the edict from King Qin was also on the way.

He took a deep breath and ordered someone to invite the empress dowager's envoy in.

When Zhao Chengping saw Mr. Huayang, he was very nervous, as if he was waiting for some bad luck to come.

The two met each other with courtesy, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhao Chengping asked:
"The queen mother asked me to come to Wei Xian. I wonder if he is in the house now?"

Huayang Jun was a little surprised, but he still ordered people to find Wei Xian. Wei Xian was a child who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Zhao Chengping took out the jade pendant of Queen Mother Xuan and handed it to him, saying: "The Queen Mother said, you don't want it." in a hurry."

Wei Xian didn't speak, just looked at Huayang Jun, Huayang Jun sighed:
"There's no rush... I'm just afraid it's too late."

asked again:
"What else does the Queen Mother have to say?"

Zhao Chengping shook his head, Huayang Jun looked very disappointed.

Looking at the preoccupied appearances of Wei Xian and Hua Yangjun, Zhao Chengping guessed that it was because of Fan Sui's remarks that Wei Ran, Gongzi Fu, and Gongzi Kui were expelled from Xianyang.He had a plan in mind.

"Although the Queen Mother didn't say it clearly, I can see that the Queen Mother is very concerned about the future of Lord Huayang and Ranghou's son. Now even the Queen Mother is trapped in the harem because of Fan Sui. If things go on like this, I'm afraid the future will be difficult for the two of you."

These words reached the hearts of the two of them, Mr. Huayang was scheming, before he opened his mouth, Wei Xian said first:

"That's right, it was that old man who drove my family to Taoyi and took my father's fief. Since ancient times, there is no reason to take back the fief without guilt!"

Lord Huayang pondered for a long time and said: "King Qin's edict, naturally all of us and my subjects will obey it."

Wei Xian said angrily: "What is the King Qin's decree? It's not Fan Sui's bad idea! Not to mention the Queen Mother's family, even his own younger brother, Prince Fu, and Prince Kui have not let it go!"

Seeing that the two people were thinking, Zhao Chengping said:
"Nowadays, if you want to stabilize your position, there is only one way, and that is..."

He looked to the left and right, Lord Huayang understood and ordered the left and right servants to leave.

Zhao Chengping gestured with a knife in his hand: "Get rid of Fan Sui."

Hearing what he said, Huayang Jun smiled helplessly: "Who doesn't think so, but at this time, Fan Sui has made great contributions to the stability of the king's regime, who can defend his position."

Zhao Chengping said with a smile: "What merit did Fan Sui do? It was just driving away those who influenced the royal power. What if he committed a crime? There is no such thing as a meritorious service in the Great Qin Law."

There was silence in the room, Huayang Jun lowered his head slightly: "But the king relies on him very much now."

Zhao Chengping said again:
"Fan Sui is just a scribe with a medium talent, and Lord Huayang is the Queen Mother's brother after all. To get rid of Fan Sui, Lord Huayang can recommend an obedient and sensible person to take his place. I think the king will not have any objection. .”

Seeing that Mr. Huayang still bowed his head and remained silent, Zhao Chengping said:
"It's only for a while. When Da has entered the Shang Palace, Di Xin already has a virtuous Queen Jiang by his side, so what?"

Wei Xian asked eagerly: "How should we do it?"

Zhao Chengping smiled and said, "Mr. Huayang knows Wang Ji?"

"heard about it."

"When Marquis Wei Ran expelled the lobbyists from the six countries and inspected the counties and cities, he ordered Wang Ji not to accept the lobbyists from the six countries. However, he hid Fan Sui and brought him to Xianyang. Without him, Fan Sui would not have been able to do so. Arrive before the king! Does Mr. Huayang know why Wei Ran was expelled first? It was because he searched Wang Ji's carriage, forcing Fan Sui to disguise himself as a follower."

Hearing Zhao Chengping's words with certainty, Huayang Jun was convinced in his heart, Zhao Chengping went on to say:
"Then why did you seize power again? Because you have a very high prestige in the army, and he, Fan Sui, recommended Bai Qi to the king not long ago! Bai Qi made many military exploits, and he was worried that you would hate Bai Qi because of it, so he I want to use the hand of the king to get rid of you!"

This sentence suddenly reached Huayang Jun's heart, he knew about Wei Ran's lobbying of the Six Kingdoms, but he didn't know why Fan Sui, as a Wei countryman, was able to come to Xianyang smoothly and was reused.

It turned out that it was Wang Ji who was at fault!
After thinking about it, Mr. Huayang felt that this matter was wrong. As the queen mother's brother, he didn't know the details. Who is this messenger?Could it be that the queen mother didn't tell herself something, but told this person instead?

He asked: "How do you know these things?"

On that day, the King of Qin left him alone and brought him into the side hall to open the treasure box for a test. He checked the past events of everyone present and found out that the middle-aged man sitting on the right side of King Qin was Fan Sui. As for how Fan Sui made enemies with others, how he fled from Wei to Qin, how he met Wang Ji, and was protected by him from Wei Ran's search, all these were as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

But Zhao Chengping couldn't say that, he smiled and said:

"Fan Sui and Wang Ji are the only ones present, and everyone has a strict manner? I have a lot of friends, so it's not difficult to know the news."

In fact, Huayang Jun had already believed in him [-]% in his heart, but he just wanted to give another reason for firm confidence.

He made military achievements for Great Qin, but was about to be expelled from Xianyang. How could he swallow this breath? Lord Huayang slowly clenched his fists, and Wei Xian couldn't wait:

"Sir, do you have an idea?"
