Yunyang Xiaoyingzheng [Da Qin]

After school, Ah Zheng drove to Huayang Palace where the Empress Dowager Huayang was.

Because of Chu Ji's relationship, Ah Zheng doesn't like the Empress Dowager Huayang, but she is the most senior elder in the Qin Palace, and there are many Chu people in high positions in the Qin Dynasty, so Ah Zheng, Zhao Ji and others have to keep face The filial piety to her and the extravagant provision to her are hard to fault.

The carriage traveled for a while and arrived at Huayang Palace.

Ah Zheng walked into the palace, waited for the maid of Huayang Palace to pass the news, and then followed her into the palace where Mrs. Huayang lived.

The palace is extremely luxurious, the feathers of various birds are decorated into colorful scrolls pasted on the wall, the whole room looks bright and lively, like a girl in the mountains and rivers, which makes people's eyes shine.

Ah Zheng did not expect that the house that the Empress Dowager Huayang lived in would look like this. This kind of house is not like a palace where the Empress Dowager of a country lives, but more like a shelter for the king's favorite pets.

The Empress Dowager Huayang was sitting on the bed covered with a silk quilt, with her back lazily leaning against the bedpost. Her age seemed only slightly older than Zhao Ji. At most, she can be regarded as a beautiful woman in her 40s and [-]s.Her face was a little pale, and she coughed a few times covering her mouth with a towel from time to time.

Seeing Ah Zheng coming in, she tried her best to show a kind smile: "The king is here, let someone bring the seat." The court lady with a wink quickly took the low seat and placed it beside the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Ah Zheng simply saluted the Empress Dowager Huayang, did not sit down, and said directly: "I heard that the Empress Dowager is ill today, so I came to see you specially. If you need anything special, you can just ask, and I will try my best to satisfy the Queen Mother's wishes."

The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I appreciate your kindness. It's just that Chu people never need medical treatment when they get sick. As long as there are shamans who communicate with God, they can be cured."

Ah Zheng was noncommittal about this, anyway, he had also come to visit, and the face had already passed, he simply said: "In this case, I hope the Queen Mother can recover from her illness and recover soon, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. "

"Wait, Your Majesty." Mrs. Huayang said urgently, "I would like to recommend two people to you, Xiong Qi and Xiong Fa. The Majesty has no one on hand now, and they are willing to assist the Majesty."

Ah Zheng looked at Empress Dowager Huayang strangely: "Empress Dowager, I respectfully call you Empress Dowager only because you are the eldest father's wife, you don't really think that I am your grandson, you can say whatever you want. "

The Empress Dowager Huayang slowly explained: "Xiong Qi's mother is the daughter of King Zhaoxiang, and has a close relationship with the Qin clan. He is now the capital of the clan, Sikong Cheng, and can help the king control the clan. Although Xiong Fa is just a He is a small official who works in Zhisu Neishi, but Zhisu Neishi is in charge of the Qin State's finances. I don't need to say that the king should know how useful he is. I know that Wang Youzhi is a wise man like the previous Qin kings. Your Majesty, does Your Majesty really believe that your mother will give you the government when you become an adult?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes were full of temptation: "I have been in the harem for many years, and I can tell that your mother is a smart and ambitious woman."

It is indeed exciting to be able to put his own people in Zong □ and Zhi Su Nei Shi, but how can Ah Zheng be sure whether Xiong Qi and Xiong Fa are listening to him or the Queen Mother Huayang?Seeking skins from tigers is not worth the loss in the end.

He only looked at the Empress Dowager Huayang coldly, and didn't respond to her suggestion: "Empress Dowager, are you trying to provoke my relationship with A Niang?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, I am wholeheartedly thinking about you. Under the royal power, there is no real mother and child. Do you know how my cheap son died?"

Ah Zheng's heart sank. The Yiren has now been buried in Zhiyang, and the tomb has been sealed. Even if he wants to find out the truth about the Yiren's death after he becomes an adult and takes power, the evidence may have been lost in the long river of time.Ah Zheng doesn't like Yiren, because it is contemptuous for Yiren to abandon his wife and children, but he does not accept Yiren's unexplained death. Yiren is the king of Qin, if a king of a country can be killed so easily , then what face does Qin have to gain a foothold in the world?

The Empress Dowager Huayang saw that Ah Zheng was silent, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are many capable people in Lu Xiang's mansion, and it is not difficult to kill a person quietly, so that the doctor can't find out. After the king Be careful when dining with the Queen Mother, don't go quietly like your father."

Without evidence, Ah Zheng would not be fooled by the Queen Mother Huayang's nonsense, he looked at the Queen Mother Huayang: "Queen Mother, although I don't know why my father died, but I know that I am here Who sent the assassins I encountered in the border town, and who released the witchcraft dolls in the Liuying Palace."

The face of the Empress Dowager Huayang did not change at all, and she continued to show her kind look: "Your Majesty, the assassin who assassinated you in the border city was not a Zhao countryman who held a grudge against Da Qin? As for the witch doll, why have I never heard Zhao Guo's words?" Did Ji mention it?"

Since the Empress Dowager Huayang refused to admit it, Ah Zheng felt that it was meaningless to continue talking to her, so he simply said goodbye: "It's getting late, the Empress Dowager should go to bed early, I will leave first."

Ah Zheng strode towards the gate of the palace, and the Empress Dowager Huayang sternly said behind him: "—Qin Wangzheng, I know your secret, and I will keep it for you."

Hearing the threat from the Empress Dowager Huayang, Ah Zheng paused and turned his head slowly: "Empress Dowager, look at your delirious appearance, do you think anyone will believe what you say?"

After speaking, he stepped out of the palace door without hesitation.

He led people quickly through the palace garden planted with various exotic flowers and plants. A four or five-year-old child bumped into his arms, was bounced back, and sat on the ground.

The child didn't cry, he just rubbed his hurt little head with his little hands, raised his head to look at Ah Zheng's face, showing a small face with rounded teeth: "It's so... pretty..."

The attendants behind the child caught up and saw the king standing where he was, and fell to his knees in fright: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's all because the servants didn't take good care of the young master and ran into the king."

After being reminded by the attendant, Ah Zheng knew who the child in front of him was, Chu Ji's son, his father's youngest son, Chang'an Jun Chengyu.Because Chu Ji is crazy, Mrs. Huayang has been taking care of Cheng Yu, but now it seems that she is not taking care of her very well.

Although Ah Zheng didn't like Chu Ji, he didn't want to offend a child who didn't understand anything. He just said to the attendant, "Help up the young master, look better next time, don't let him run away."

The attendant quickly got up and picked up Cheng Yu from the ground, retreated to both sides of the road, bent down and lowered his head, waiting for Ah Zheng to pass.

But Cheng Yu struggled desperately in the arms of the attendant, his little hand kept grabbing Ah Zheng: "It looks good... I want to hug... hug..." The attendant was so frightened that he quickly covered Cheng Yu's mouth, so as not to make the king angry.

Ah Zheng ignored Cheng Yu, walked outside Huayang Palace, got in the car and left.

The carriage was slowly passing by on the palace road, Ah Zheng thought of Cheng Yu's appearance, and couldn't help asking the maid beside him, Ah Yan: "Cheng Yu seems to have some problems?"

Ayan replied: "I have heard people in Huayang Palace say before that the young master can't speak until he is two years old. The previous king rejected him because of this. From now on, he will not go to Huayang except to greet the Queen Mother of Huayang. Palace. Thinking about it now, the young master may be a little different from ordinary people mentally."

Ah Zheng wouldn't intentionally bully Cheng Yu, but there was no need to help him either. The matter of Cheng Yu had passed through his mind without leaving any traces. What he cared about was Xiong Qi and Xiong Fa.If the two of them can really be used by him, they will definitely become his support in the court.But Xiong Qi and Xiong Fa are from Chu, and they have a close relationship with the Queen Mother Huayang. Ah Zheng didn't want to be led by the nose by the Queen Mother Huayang, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

In the evening, when he asked Lin Ju this question, Lin Ju's question reminded him: "Sis, since the Queen Mother Huayang has been on the opposite side of you before, why did she borrow someone for you this time?"

Yeah, why?

Many people in Chu have positions in the court, and the Empress Dowager Huayang has power in the palace. Why does she help him?

Lin Ju said: "Is it possible that the Empress Dowager Huayang has encountered some difficulties, and this matter can only be solved by Zai Zai?"

Ah Zheng thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Lu Aweng is suppressing the Chu people in the court? They need me to mediate?" He heard Meng Tian vaguely mention that Lu Buwei replaced a large number of officials in the court with killed his servants.There are only so many positions in the court, one radish and one pit. When Lu Buwei's people come up, some people will naturally want to go down. As for the people from which side who go down, Ah Zheng has no idea.

Lin Ju nodded: "I think Zai Zai's guess is very likely, Zai Zai. If this is the case, in fact, you and the Queen Mother Huayang may not be unable to cooperate. There is an old saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend."

Ah Zheng: "...I don't think this sentence sounds like an old saying." And he, Lu Aweng, and A Niang are not at the point of becoming enemies.

"Oh, baby, don't worry about it so much. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Since the Chu people in the Qin Dynasty have conflicts with Lu Buwei, then you just wait until they fight and become a fisherman."

Ah Zheng: "Ah Ju, I found out..."

Lin Ju: "Huh? What did you find?"

Ah Zheng: "You seem to have become smarter."

Lin Ju: "!!!??!"

Lin Ju was so angry that her head was smoking, she poked Zai Zai's dimple with her hand, and said angrily: "What do you mean! Zai, didn't grandma not be smart before?"

Ah Zheng laughed so hard that he clutched his stomach and fell on his back on the bed.

Lin Ju continued to poke the dimple: "Cub, cub, don't go too far, or grandma will get angry. Kid, calm down, your smile is very strange."

Ah Zheng wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and laughed to calm down his emotions: "Okay, I won't laugh anymore, let's continue discussing this matter."

Lin Ju gave her advice: "I think you can accept the help of the Empress Dowager Huayang, but you can't accept it too quickly. It's best to let them beg you, and you must seize the opportunity."

Ah Zheng began to look serious: "I don't know how long I have to wait for that opportunity."

But Ah Zheng never expected that this opportunity would come so soon.

The author has something to say:

Lin Ju: Baby, you have dimples!so cute!

Ah Zheng:? ? ? ? ? (strange, secretly blushing)

It is said that after Yingzheng unified the country, Li Si and others suggested calling him "Taihuang". Fortunately, Yingzheng was changed to "Emperor", otherwise Taihuang would be really strange. (Revised in 12.3, typo, sorry)
