I was a gentleman in ancient times

Cheng Hui also stood up, "Master Chen is right. This matter is of great importance. If the Chu family does not deal with it, how can the king gain authority when he is in charge?"

"Your Majesty should discuss this matter with your ministers." The Empress Dowager sighed, the current situation can only be dealt with perfunctorily, and then look for opportunities in the future.

However, Cheng Hui was relentless, "Queen Dowager, the current king is smart and courageous, and looks like a great weapon. I think that the king should decide the important affairs of the country as soon as possible, so as not to harm the country and the people."

"..." Empress Dowager Zhuan didn't expect Lord Cheng to make a sudden attack, and was stunned for a moment.It took a long time before he murmured: "This... Your Majesty is not familiar with government affairs..."

"Master Cheng is right." Chen Fu agreed.He simply explained directly, "Whether the Empress Dowager is involved in the Chu family's rebellion today is unknown. I am willing to ask the Empress Dowager to retreat to Fengxi Palace."

Cheng Hui and Chen Fu took the lead. Except for the courtiers attached to the Queen Mother, most of the others knelt down and begged for orders, "I implore the Queen Mother to retreat to Fengxi Palace."

Empress Dowager Zhuan looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, and felt her heart was constricted for a moment, she suppressed the trembling of her hands and feet, and tried her best to pretend to be calm.She supported her temples with her hands, feeling a little dizzy. Facing the persecution of the ministers, she couldn't do it if she didn't agree at this moment.

Dazzlingly seeing the calm Qin Zhan next to her, Queen Zhuan seemed to realize something. Could it be that all of this today is in his calculations?This... this is too scary.

"You...you!" Empress Dowager Zhuan pointed at Qin Zhan, trembling.

Qin Zhan took two steps to support her, and said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother is not feeling well, why bother?"

"It's you! It's you, isn't it? You planned everything?" Looking back at what happened today, there are many doubts.

How can she not know what kind of temperament her brother is?How could it be possible for him to think of this, and involve the entire Chu family?Among them, there must be someone provoking him, which made him swell, and he didn't even listen to her.

It's a shame that when Chu Fen mentioned this matter, she didn't pay too much attention to it, and she didn't send someone to investigate. That's why today's incident happened.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a trick, and the more chilling I feel at the same time.This shows that since Qin Zhan came to the throne, he has been planning all this today.No!Perhaps from the very beginning, when Qin Zhan returned to the palace, he had already started planning.Therefore, Qin Zhan's obedient obedience on the surface is just a cover-up, just to cover up his ambition.

Empress Dowager Zhuan was terrified. She was intrigued in the palace, and the court was turbulent. Why haven't you seen it?Unexpectedly, in the end, it fell into Qin Zhan's hands.

Qin Zhan held her arm with a strong hand. She wanted to shake it off and stay away from him, but in vain.

Hearing Queen Zhuan's question, Qin Zhan smiled.In Empress Dowager Zhuan's ear, she said cheerfully: "The Empress Dowager is too much." The implication of this sentence is to admit the conjecture of Empress Dowager Zhuan.

Qin Zhan frowned slightly, "Actually, the widow is not for self-protection? In the position of the widow, controlled by others, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds anytime and anywhere. It is impossible to say that Mrs. Zhuantai will abolish the widow one day if she is unhappy. , establish a new king, Mrs. Tai, do you think the widow should think more about himself?"

really!Empress Dowager Zhuan stared at Qin Zhan in front of her, as if she didn't know him at all.

Qin Zhan looked at her gray hair and sighed, "Mrs. Tai is very old and should enjoy her old age in peace. The quiet place of Fengxi Palace is just suitable for the empress dowager to cultivate." His words directly turned the empress dowager into Mrs. Tai, there is no room for negotiation.

Empress Dowager Zhuan looked around, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and Qin Zhan's private slave soldiers were about to move.Before she knew it, the obedient little rabbit had grown into a wolf cub, and she had been mistaken.That's all!Now that I am alone, how can I have the capital to fight Qin Zhan?

It's ridiculous that I have been cleaning up dissidents in the palace before, and all I did was to make wedding clothes for others, okay!Qin Zhan is really good at calculating.

The situation is not forgiving, and Empress Dowager Zhuan has nothing to do at this time. She grabbed Qin Zhan's hand and said, "Your Majesty, the Ai family can retreat to Fengxi Palace. However, the Ai family has a request. In any case, leave it to the Chu family. Get some blood."

She knew that the crimes committed by the Chu family father and son were not to be punished, and she could not preserve them. However, the blood of the Chu family cannot be completely wiped out after all.

Qin Zhan stared at her pampered hands, despite this, the years still left traces.In the veins protruding from the veins, there is blood inheritance. Although the Empress Dowager Zhuan is at the end of her life, she still wants to exchange for some benefits.

Seeing that Qin Zhan didn't answer, Empress Dowager Zhuan became anxious and exerted more force on her hands, "Your Majesty, at any rate, it's because the Ai family has also planned for you with all their heart. If it wasn't for the Ai family to speak for you in front of the king, at this time It is impossible for you to stand here. This is just the last request of my life, and the king is not willing to agree?"

Qin Zhan laughed when he heard the words, "Zhan will follow Mrs. Tai's words. From Mrs. Tai's sake, except for the chief villain and adults and men, women, children, children and widows can save their lives. As for..."

Qin Zhan's unfinished meaning, Empress Dowager Zhuan, already understood that whether the women and children of the Chu family were slaves or exiled to the frontiers, whether they could survive, could only be resigned to fate.She knew that this was already Qin Zhan's biggest concession, and she couldn't make further progress, so she nodded, which was considered to be an agreement.

Empress Dowager Zhuan was dejected, and then she said to the kneeling courtiers: "Forget it! Forget it! Now the king is really favored by everyone. From today, the Ai family will return to the king and retire to Fengxi Palace."

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty received a satisfactory answer, and they were naturally overjoyed, and there was a lot of praise.

Empress Dowager Zhuan turned her head to look at Qin Zhan, and patted her hand lightly, which looked like a picture of kindness and filial piety to others.She earnestly instructed: "Since returning the government to the king, the king should be conscientious and focus on government affairs, and stop being greedy for fun."

"Yes, Zhan must follow Mrs. Tai's teachings." Zhan lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully.

Empress Dowager Zhuan didn't want to stay any longer, and a palace attendant helped her back.Qin Zhan watched her staggering steps, and the Empress Dowager Zhuan at this time had long since lost her original momentum.Qin Zhan was in a trance. After today, West Qin really belonged to him.From here, he will take a broad view of the world, achieve hegemony and change the pattern of the whole world as Mr. envisioned.

He sat on his own throne and dealt with the follow-up matters. "The Chu family conspired against him, and the crime was extremely heinous. However, the widow remembers the past of the queen mother, and punishes the head of the evil subordinate. For the unsuspecting women, children and young children, they will be exiled and sentenced to hard labor. What do you think?" ?”

Now that Qin Zhan had spoken, all the ministers had no choice but to praise the king for his wisdom and kindness.

The matter of Ping Wuhou's rebellion was solved so easily. The most important thing is that after this incident, Queen Dowager Zhuan was forced to hand over the power of auxiliary administration.From then on, Western Qin started an unprecedented new dynasty under the rule of King Zhan of Qin.A small country in Western Qin, which was peaceful and peaceful, has risen in a short period of time and is marching towards the great cause of unification.

Later generations called this incident the "Pingwu Rebellion", which was recorded in detail in "The History of Qin Qin Wang Ji".It's just that it's all superficial, and the real situation has long since disappeared with the torrent of history.Only the various versions of legends compiled by later generations based on a few words are left.

On the street south of Wangcheng, a group of soldiers marched neatly towards General Pingwuhou's mansion.

Along the way, people who didn't know the truth poked their heads out one after another, not knowing what happened. When someone who wanted to inquire about the news came out and asked, they were directly driven back by the soldiers.

It didn't take long to arrive at Pingwuhou's mansion, and the soldiers rushed in regardless of the three seven twenty one.For a while, Pingwuhou's mansion was flying like dogs and dogs, crying and shouting were endless.

Sun Zhang looked at this prosperous mansion. From now on, the prosperity will be gone.In the future, I don't know which upstart will become the new owner of this place. When the time comes, the new look will change. Who will remember the glory of the past?

After instructing Qin Chang to keep an eye on him, he led the people towards the prison where Chufen and his son were being held.

At this time, Chufen and his son have not yet figured out why their foolproof plan failed, and it is impossible for them to leak the news from decision to implementation.How come Qin Zhan can arrange to go first, as if he is deliberately waiting for them.

"Someone has come to see you." The jailer outside shouted to remind them.

Chu Fen looked up, there was a person standing against the light, and he couldn't see clearly.After he got used to the light, he realized that this person was the masked man who hadn't appeared since that day.

As if seeing a glimmer of life, Chu Fen scrambled over to hold the cell door, and said joyfully, "Sir, it turned out that it was Mr. who came. Mr. Hurry up and think of a way to get us out."

To be able to appear here, Mr. must be capable. He is resourceful, and maybe he really has a way to rescue them.

Seeing that Mr. Wang was unmoved, he thought he was angry because their plan failed, "Sir, our plan was carried out according to what Mr. said. However, Qin Zhan set up an ambush in advance, and our army was wiped out. Our father and son You have also become a prisoner. Sir, save us, you can go and beg the queen mother for us, as long as the queen mother agrees to let us go, Qin Zhan dare not refuse."

Chu Fen was full of hope that as long as someone sent them a message to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would definitely save them.

Sun Zhang shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "The queen mother no longer assists the government, and retreats to Fengxi Palace. Without instructions, no one can see her."

"What? Why did the Empress Dowager retreat to Fengxi Palace? No longer assisting the government? No longer assisting the government? You mean, the Empress Dowager returned the government to Qin Zhan?" Chu Fen lost his voice.

Sun Zhang nodded, but Chu Fen still refused to believe it, and murmured: "Impossible, impossible."

The corner of Sun Zhang's mouth raised a mocking smile, "Hasn't Marquis Pingwu figured out why he has fallen to this point?"

Chu Fen looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

"Because every step you take is carefully planned and calculated by Qin Wangzhan." Sun Zhang smiled and took off the mask on his face, revealing his true colors.

"You...you..." Chu Fen stretched out his finger and pointed at him, momentarily amazed.

The gentleman he has always relied on is actually Sun Zhang, who was an official in the same dynasty.If he doesn't understand the cause and effect at this time, he is really a fool.

Sun Zhang is a classmate of Qin Zhan's school, and he followed Qin Zhan to Qin, and he has never been conspicuous.It was also at that time that he appeared as a masked man, approached him, let himself admire his talent, and thus developed a friendship.

I see!Qin Zhan had already started his plan as soon as he returned to Qin.No wonder the action that I thought was foolproof would fail, but they actually set up a trap and waited for me to get into it.

Unfortunately, none of them realized that Qin Zhan had always been an ambitious wolf.

Chu Fen sat on the ground slumped, "Could it be that the Chu family is gone?"

"Your Majesty has ordered that except for the women, children and young children of the Chu family who will be imprisoned and exiled, no one else will be allowed to stay." He whispered: "If the Queen Mother hadn't turned around, the Chu family would really have disappeared."

At this time, Chu Fen had mixed feelings in his heart. After all, the queen mother did this step for the Chu family.This result is already very good, he smiled wryly, his own ambition harmed the Chu family, and also harmed Ajie, and he regretted not listening to Ajie's words at the beginning.

He smiled wryly, with tears already running down his face, "So, Master Sun has come here specially to see this old man off?"

Sun Zhang waved his hand, and a soldier behind brought a jug of old wine, "For the Queen Mother's sake, the King, give Marquis Ping Wu a face, please."

Watching Chu Fen drink the poisoned wine, Sun Zhang's expression relaxed, and he finally completed the task assigned by the King of Qin.
