Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

The day Yiren passed away was a summer afternoon, the sun was shining fiercely on the earth, and the cicadas in the courtyard of the Palace Academy were singing non-stop, which disturbed people.

Today's lecturer doctor is not Cai Ze, but another old and boring lecturer doctor. He talks about some pedantic etiquette with an earthy smell, and his voice stops and stops, like a hypnotic drug.The children in the palace school were all drowsy. Meng Tian had already slept soundly on the table. The 13-year-old Ah Zheng couldn't hold on any longer. Only Meng Yi still tried hard to pinch He forced himself to pull himself together.

Suddenly, a thick and loud bell sounded from the high platform in the distance, and all the children in the room woke up suddenly.

A clan member of the Qin Kingdom raised his head from his sleep, rubbing his eyes in a daze: "What is this sound? Why did the bell ring suddenly?"

The companion next to him quickly grabbed his sleeve and motioned him to shut up.

In front of the room, the preaching doctor suddenly stopped talking, and knelt down on the ground limply, with infinite sorrow in his mouth: "The king is dead."

The children in the room reacted immediately, kneeling in the direction of Zhangtai Palace.

Ah Zheng stood there in a daze, without any reaction.

Meng Tian next to him immediately gave him a hand: "Ah Zheng, what are you in a daze for?"

Ah Zheng looked at Meng Tian with a confused and puzzled expression: "My father, is he dead?"

Meng Tian was worried that Ah Zheng would be provoked by the death of the stranger, so he nodded cautiously: "Ah Zheng, the death knell is ringing."

The bell from the high platform is still ringing, and people in the whole Xianyang can hear the ringing bell. It represents the death of the monarch of Qin who has only been on the throne for three years.

The princes in the palace school had stood up from their long kneeling, and everyone looked at Ah Zheng silently. This 13-year-old boy was once the prince of Qin, but today, he will become the king of Qin.

There were chaotic footsteps outside the palace, Ah Zheng led people out, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty rushed from Zhangtai Palace to this palace that was not even named, and knelt down to Ah Zheng who came out: "I will pay my respects to the king. superior."

Ah Zheng didn't know what to say for a while, he looked around him, whether it was a doctor who was lecturing or an unfamiliar classmate, they all knelt down and worshiped him, including his good friends Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

What should he do now?

Everyone was waiting for his response.

In the end, Ah Zheng thought for a while, imitating what his elder father had done to him, and said to the crowd: "Be flat, get up."

"Thank you, my lord." The ministers who were kneeling in front of Ah Zheng stood up one after another, and Lu Buwei walked out from the crowd as Xiangbang, and said to Ah Zheng, "Your Majesty, please go to Zhangtai with your ministers to supervise the legacy of the late king."

Ah Zheng nodded, and got into the car. The car was inlaid with gorgeous patterns, inlaid with precious agate and white jade. This car belonged exclusively to King Qin.

The six white horses pulled were extremely handsome, without a single hair. Lu Buwei personally drove the bronze cart for Ah Zheng, and the bronze cart moved forward slowly.

The car stopped in front of Zhangtai Palace, and Ah Zheng quietly looked at the palace built on the high earthwork platform, never feeling that the palace was built so high.The palace on the high platform lost the heat of summer, revealing infinite coldness.

He slowly stepped up the steps step by step, one step after another, and Lu Buwei and others behind him followed quietly without urging.

Finally, Ah Zheng stepped up to the last step. He couldn't help looking into the distance. He could have a panoramic view of the whole Xianyang city. He is in control.

Ah Zheng came back to his senses and walked into Zhangtai, into the palace where his father's body was placed.

Because Yiren died too hastily, the palace servants in the Qin Palace hadn't had time to prepare the coffin for him.

Yiren just lay quietly on the wide dragon bed, and Zhao Ji, who came to the side after hearing the news, was already in tears.

Ah Zheng couldn't cry.

He has no tears.

He looked at the Yiren who was lying silently on the bed. Because he had not passed away for a long time, there were no corpse spots on the body, and the Yiren looked as if he was just asleep.

Ah Zheng couldn't help but gently held the other man's hand with his own.

The skin is stiff and has no warmth.

Father is indeed dead.

Ah Zheng looked at Lu Buwei who had been following him all the time: "Father is only in his 30s, how did he die?"

Lu Buwei replied calmly: "According to the doctor's statement, the former king died because of extreme anger."

"Really?" Ah Zheng looked at Lu Buwei, "I don't believe it."

The Empress Dowager Huayang who had just arrived couldn't help but stop when she heard this, but immediately she walked in with small graceful steps.

Ah Zheng looked at Lu Buwei: "I don't believe it, keep investigating."

In order to better preserve the corpse, a lot of ice was placed in the house. Hearing this, Lu Buwei couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.He explained to Ah Zheng: "Zheng'er, a country cannot be without a king for a day. The most important thing now is that you ascend the throne in time."

Zhao Ji wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk scarf, she walked up to Ah Zheng, and hugged him gently: "Zheng'er, Auntie knows you are very sad. But you, Lu Aweng, are right, the most important thing now is that you need to be ready in time. Ascend the throne and stabilize the court."

The Empress Dowager Huayang said from the side: "You child, don't be too stubborn, and focus on the overall situation."

Azheng's eyes swept across the faces of Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji and the Empress Dowager Huayang one by one, and finally landed on the Empress Dowager Xia: "Mother, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Xia sighed for a long time, and finally, she said: "This matter will be discussed after you ascend the throne."

Ah Zheng looked at Queen Mother Xia and quietly said hello.

Because Zhangtai Palace still parked the body of a foreigner, Ah Zheng did not live in Zhangtai Palace that night, but returned to Liuying Palace.Except for the more frequent patrols of the imperial guards around the palace, this night seemed to be the same as usual.

Ah Zheng sat by the bed after dinner, holding the long sword bestowed to him by King Qin Xiaowen in his hand.This sword looked a bit long when he was eight years old, but now he is 13 years old, and he can already use this long sword smoothly.

Ah Zheng stretched out his fingertips and brushed lightly over the sword, wondering what he was thinking.

When Lin Ju logged into the game, what she saw was this scene.

She opened the game mall, and the product sold in the mall at this time was bear orange jelly candy.

Lin Ju bought fudge, unpacked it, picked one up and put it in Ah Zheng's mouth: "Zai Zai, ah—"

Ah Zheng had already discovered Lin Ju's existence when the bag of candy appeared out of thin air. He opened his mouth and bit off the soft candy, thanking Lin Ju.

"Zai Zai, what's the matter with you today? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ah Zheng replied, "A little bit... my father is dead."

"Ah no way," Lin Ju was a little surprised, "Zai Zai's father seems to be in his 30s."

Ah Zheng nodded: "But he died, just today."

"Then you..."

"After I officially ascend the throne, I will be King Qin."

Lin Ju was desperately thinking about how to comfort Zai Zai, but in the end she could only say in dry words: "Zai Zai, if you feel sad, just cry, I won't laugh at you."

"Why should I cry?" Ah Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and he explained, "Ah Ju, I don't have deep feelings for Father, and with what he's done these years, I don't have much affection. sad."

"Oh." Lin Ju knew that she was making a joke, so she kept silent.

Ah Zheng continued: "It's just that I suspect that there may be other secrets behind Father's death."

"Zai Zai, you mean, you suspect that your father was killed?"

Ah Zheng nodded.

"Then who does Zai Zai think is behind the scenes?"

The faces of Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji, Empress Huayang, and Empress Xia gradually emerged in Ah Zheng's mind.

He hesitated, then replied, "I don't know."
