Chapter 357 Why didn't the king tell me that the queen mother was ill?

Lai Ai directly detained Cheng Jiao's envoy.

Sending Cheng Jiao's army for help to Xianyang in person, Lu Buwei looked at the letter in his hand, "There is a shortage of military and civilian supplies in the theater, and I hope Xianyang can supplement it."

Lu Buwei frowned deeply, and murmured: "Not dead yet?" It's been almost two months, logically, he should have been killed long ago.

Lai Ai looked at Lu Buwei talking to himself, and said, "The messenger told me that the food in Tunliu and Puji would not last long, and that the grain and grass mobilized from Jinyang were attacked by the acting army several times. There is not even one grain in the city.”

Simakong groaned for a while, and finally said: "Prime Minister, from what I've seen, the army of this generation probably wants to starve them to death."

Lu Buwei looked at Sima Kong, his eyes flickered coldly, and said: "Pass my order to deliver food to the front line, if this person can't even kill Cheng Jiao, what qualifications do he have to cooperate with Zhenxiang?"

Lao Ai took the order to leave.

Sima Kong felt relieved a little bit.

Looking at Lu Buwei, he said: "Prime Minister, the Prime Minister will disperse the soldiers and horses. If the Dai army suddenly hits the army and attacks all the way, I'm afraid it will be defeated immediately."

Lu Buwei asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Sima Kong said: "If Chengjiao is defeated, he will definitely continue to ask for books to increase troops. However, I think that food can be sent, but we can't increase troops. The reason why we can't increase troops is much easier to say. After all, the party on the front line But there are 15 troops."

Lu Buwei nodded, "What Mr. said is exactly what I want!"

Food can be given, but the number of soldiers cannot be increased, because you are going to die anyway.

The next day, above the court.

Ying Zheng came to the hall alone. The officials looked at Ying Zheng, but Zhao Ji was not found. The Queen Mother had not appeared for half a month.

"I heard that the queen mother is ill."

"Would you like to go and see the Queen Mother?"

Several courtiers whispered.

Ying Zheng's face was serious, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were not angry but mighty. After watching the courtiers salute, he asked, "Is there any news about the frontline battle?"

Lu Buwei took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I just received the news from the front line last night, and I am about to report it to Your Majesty."

The courtiers all looked at Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei said: "Mr. Chang'an came to envoy yesterday, saying that Jinyang, Tunliu, and Puji are all being rectified, and the government affairs are going on as usual, and the organization of the local government is also being reorganized. There is no major battle. The acting army is fighting our army in the field. There were two campaigns, and there were no major conflicts, and the city was never attacked, but because the granaries of Tunliu and Puji were taken by the rebels, I was asked to prepare food and grass and send it to the front line."

There really was no major battle.

The enemy did not attack the city again.

Everything I say is true.

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei added something in his heart, saying: "Cheng Jiao, you said this all yourself, but the truth has not changed a single word."

However, Lu Buwei's words are to anyone's ears, the front line is stable.

The Ying clan also nodded in approval.

After all, the generals and captains along the way are all members of the clan, representing the face of the clan.

Ying Zheng also nodded slightly and said, "The Prime Minister has done a good job. Since Mr. Chang'an needs food and grass, then the Prime Minister can arrange it himself."

After listening to all the reports, Ying Zheng returned to the harem absent-mindedly.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was preoccupied, all the ministers looked at each other suspiciously, and then left in an orderly manner one by one.

As soon as Ying Zheng walked to the gate of Ganquan Palace, he saw Zhao Gao waiting anxiously at the gate.

Ying Zheng asked, "How is the queen mother?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and sighed, "The Empress Dowager still hasn't taken the medicine, and the food hasn't even touched a sip."

Zhao Ji has been ill for half a month, and she is still getting better.

Ying Zheng's eyes widened immediately, and he asked anxiously in his heart, "What should Xia Wu say?"

Zhao Gaodao: "It is said that the Empress Dowager is depressed and ill, and the medicine stone can only be used to relieve the illness. As for recovering from the illness, it may be difficult, because this is a heart disease, and heart disease is difficult to cure."

Ying Zheng murmured, "Heart disease?" Afterwards, Fu Xiu pushed open the door and came directly to the sick bed. The huge curtain prevented outsiders from seeing Zhao Ji's face.

Ying Zheng looked at the already cold decoction on the table beside the bed, and heaved a long sigh.

He stretched out his hand and opened the curtain, and at a glance, Zhao Ji had lost a lot of weight. Apart from her still beautiful appearance, she was also a little sickly pale.

Ying Zheng sat down before the collapse, backed away, asked someone to prepare another bowl of hot soup, helped Zhao Ji up himself, and said softly: "Mother, it is the son who is not filial."

Zhao Ji looked at the gradually majestic Ying Zheng in front of her, smiled and shook her head and said, "Zheng'er is very good, and having Zheng'er is the happiest thing for the queen mother."

Ying Zheng hesitated to speak, and finally said: "My son knows it all!"

Zhao Ji was visibly shocked, concealing the panic in her heart: "You, what do you know?"

Ying Zheng said: "Naturally, it is the disease of the empress. The empress is alone in the palace every day. This year, she seldom talks to anyone. The empress is also a human being. She can't even have anyone to talk to, so she becomes depressed. It is also expected by the son, but he did not expect that it would come so soon, but now there is a war in Shangdang, and the Taifu is not in Xianyang, so many things need to be handled by the son, and the queen mother has been left out in the cold."

Only then did Zhao Ji feel a little relieved.

Just for a short while, a layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng with resentment in her eyes, but she was the Queen Mother of Qin, so she couldn't do everything according to her own rules, and there were some things that could not be known by the king or anyone else.

Zhao Ji said: "Zheng'er, the queen mother has something to tell you."

When Ying Zheng heard the words, he immediately cheered up and said, "My queen, please tell me that as long as my son can do it, I will promise my mother everything."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look more angry, and said: "You have a Taifu by your side, and the Taifu is extremely talented and has great kindness to you and your father. In the future, if you realize the vision in your Taifu's heart and become the co-lord of this world, you must not doubt your Taifu. He is different from Lu Buwei. He is a loyal minister who can lose his life for our mother and child. He can kill all No one in the world will harm our mother and son, so you must not do something, otherwise, both the queen mother and the former king will be disappointed in you."

Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said again and again: "Mother, why do you think of your son so much? My son will never do this. Back then, Duke Xiao could share the Qin Kingdom with the Shang Lord, and so could the son. The son was willing to share the Qin Kingdom with the Taifu. Share the world."

Zhao Ji shook her head and said, "He's a king now, but he's still a fool. Your grand tutor always says it's for the world, but he's actually doing it for Qin, for you, and for you to live forever. So, The Taifu will never do what Xiaogong Shangjun did! You have to believe what your mother says."

Yingzheng raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "My son believes, of course he believes in his mother, and he also believes in the grand tutor."

Zhao Ji's eyes turned red, and she said: "With the Taifu by your side, the queen mother will feel relieved. If the queen mother leaves like this one day, you don't want to bury me in Lishan. You just need to choose a quiet place for the queen mother." Bury alone in the valley, simply set up a tombstone."

Ying Zheng's eyes widened suddenly.

"This? Queen Mother, you!"

Before Yingzheng could finish speaking, Zhao Ji was cold for a few minutes, and said: "This is the only wish of the queen mother, and it is also the wish of a lifetime. If you don't agree to the queen mother, one day the queen mother will leave Xianyang alone and never see you again." you."

Ying Zheng was in a hurry, and said: "Mother, Zheng'er will not let you have trouble, the mother must not think too much, it will definitely get better."

Zhao Ji said angrily, "Zheng'er, you won't agree to me?"

Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Ji was suddenly angry, and his whole body trembled violently, so he could only say: "Yes, yes, my son agrees."

Zhao Ji got better now, and her whole body became soft. After a long time, she finally said in a gentle voice, "Zheng'er, don't ask why the queen mother, the queen mother can't tell you, you go, the queen mother is sleepy."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ji lay down on the bed with her back to Ying Zheng. Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, Ying Zheng felt helpless, "Heart sick!!"

With a long sigh, he came outside the hall.

Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao and Xia Wuqi, shook his head, and said: "My mother still hasn't taken the medicine yet, Wuqi, what should I do."

Xia Wuqie said: "Your Majesty, a heart disease is a heart disease. A heart disease is difficult to cure. It is necessary to prescribe the right medicine. The Empress Dowager is alone in the harem, never negotiating with others, and there is no one to talk to. In my opinion, the king may as well stay in the harem." If you stay in China for a month and stay with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will definitely get better."

Ying Zheng suddenly became distressed, and said: "No, but if I don't engage in government affairs, then that's Lu!"

Zhao Gao understood, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, since you are suffering from heart disease, you might as well think about the Empress Dowager's usual preferences, and vote for it, to reassure your mind, and take decoction, maybe it is a way."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Gao, and finally said: "It's a good way, you still have a way, if the Queen Mother gets better, I will reward you."

What does Zhao Ji like? She likes piano and dancing. Even the original words in the historical records of later generations are Zhao Ji.

Yingzheng immediately ordered: "Go, notify the Yuefu order, and play the piano for the Queen Mother. Don't forget to prepare the soup."

Zhao Gao and Xia Wuqiu took orders and left.

Ying Zheng was feeling very depressed, and suddenly remembered the entrustment of his mother, and murmured in his heart: "My widow, why would you suspect the Grand Tutor, never will."

three days later.

Ying Zheng left the court, and after inquiring about the preparation of food and grass, he hurriedly left the court.

Walk towards the palace where Su Jie is.

Zhao Gao found Ying Zheng with a bitter face, and said, "Your Majesty, the Yuefu and the Empress Dowager thought they were too noisy, so they all came out."

Ying Zheng was suddenly angry, pointed at Zhao Gao and said, "You! Didn't you say that the queen who voted for her mother likes it?"

Zhao Gao didn't dare to raise his head, and Ying Zheng pointed at his head and reprimanded him. Zhao Gao said submissively: "Your Majesty, don't blame the officials. It's not that the Queen Mother is not happy, but it's just that those people are not happy. The Queen Mother's Qin Zheng is As Marquis Wu taught, how those people's skills can be compared with Marquis Wu's, of course, the Empress Dowager would not like to hear it."

Ying Zheng stopped scolding immediately, and after Zhao Gao said this, there was a flash of inspiration in his heart, isn't the Tai Tuo here.

Immediately beamed with joy.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "This widow knows about it, so you can go and do your own business. This widow will figure out a solution."

Only then did Zhao Gao breathe a sigh of relief, and saw Ying Zheng walking towards the palace with a seemingly happy face.

Su Jie looked at Ying Zheng with a surprised expression, and asked aloud, "What? The queen mother is ill? Why didn't the king tell me?"

Chapter 358 You are such a beautiful red rose, I hate that God is not beautiful.

Seeing Su Jie's nervous expression, Ying Zheng sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: "The Grand Tutor really cares about the widow and the queen mother."

Then he said: "Zheng'er thought he was just suffering from wind and cold, so why bother to talk about such a small ailment, unexpectedly, Xia Wuqiu told the widow a few days ago that it was a heart disease, and with the addition of wind and evil entering the body, it became a serious disease. And if the heart disease is not cured, it will be difficult to take medicine."

Su Jie looked solemn!

Seeing that Ying Zheng remained motionless, he said, "Heart trouble? Did the Queen Mother tell you anything?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, but without hesitation, he told him everything that Zhao Ji had said to him a few days ago.

At this moment, Su Jie finally knew what Zhao Ji's heart disease was!

Yingzheng got up suddenly, and Jishou said: "Teacher, Qin Lv can relieve the mood, and it is also very helpful for this disease. The Yuefu made those people incompetent, and they were all kicked out by the queen mother. Zheng'er begged the teacher, can you go and help them?" The queen mother plays the piano, if the queen mother can hear the Taifu's music, she will be able to heal her heart disease."

The next day, night fell.

Ying Zheng brought the disguised Su Jie directly to the gate of Ganquan Palace.

Zhao Gao was still standing at the door, and as soon as he saw Ying Zheng, he trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Let them all come out, I have invited musicians."

Zhao Gao looked at Su Jie in surprise.

Only then did Ying Zheng say to Su Jie: "Sir, the queen mother will entrust you to you."

Su Jie lowered his voice and said, "I will do my best!"

Afterwards, without hesitation, he pushed the door and walked slowly towards Zhao Ji's bedroom.

Zhao Gao asked: "Your Majesty, is it possible?"

"It should work." Ying Zheng said uncertainly.

If the Taifu has no choice, then there is really no way, "Gao, what's wrong with the empress?"

Zhao Gao cleverly said: "How could Gao know, but if Your Majesty really wants to know, why not listen to this musician's Song of Qin?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Zhao Gaodao: "Since it is a heart disease, then we need medicine for the heart. Didn't your majesty say that the Qin song played by this musician can cure the Queen Mother? In this case, we don't know the heart disease of the Queen Mother, but we can hear the medicine for the heart played by this musician. If it can really cure the Empress Dowager, then we can infer the Empress Dowager’s heart disease from this heart medicine, right?”

Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Gao carefully, making Zhao Gao feel uncomfortable for a while.

Ying Zheng said, "I can't tell, Gao, when did you become so smart?"

Zhao Gao repeatedly said: "Your Majesty, the little one is not smart, and all the little ones think about the King, so that the King thinks I am smart, and it is the King who is smart."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then let's just listen here."

When Su Jie walked into the bedroom, he saw Zhao Ji's figure behind the big curtain at a glance. Zhao Ji leaned slightly against the head of the bed without moving.

There is only a curtain between the two.

Su Jie looked at the cold soup outside Zhao Ji's bed, feeling all kinds of feelings in his heart, it was the purest kind of pity.

Finally, Su Jie stopped hesitating, but walked to the desk two feet away from Zhao Ji's bed, opened his skirt and sat down slowly.

On the table, there was a twelve-string qin zither at this time, and green smoke was rising from the incense burner on one side, and the whole room was filled with sandalwood.

A quiet and weak voice with a bit of majesty said: "I don't need it, you can go out and tell the king, there is no need to send anyone."

A weak voice is a sign of weakness.
