Great Qin Shi Empress

==·hope·==

Because his father, Ying Zichu, was just a proton sent by Qin State to Zhao State when he married the Queen Mother Zhao, so he was not only born in Handan, but also lived in Handan until he was nearly nine years old before being taken back to Qin State.

And Yingzheng's relationship between Qin and Zhao was the worst in the past few years from his birth to when he was taken back to Qin at the age of eight.

In a battle of Changping, Qin State lost 20 soldiers and civilians, and Zhao State had more than 40 prisoners who were killed, not counting the soldiers who died on the battlefield.If it is added together, it is estimated that it can directly exceed 60.

What was the population level during the Warring States Period?

The state of Qin was severely damaged, and most of the young and strong men of the state of Zhao died, almost broken by the state of Qin.

Ying Zheng happened to be born in 260 BC, the second year of the Battle of Changping in 259 BC.

Fortunately, his father, Ying Zichu, was still there at that time, and he stood in front of Zhao Guoren like a target, blocking all malicious intentions.With Ying Zichu, an adult who bears everyone's malice, Zhao Guoren would not make things difficult for an infant.

But when Ying Zichu was about two years old in Yingzheng, he fled back to Qin State when another war broke out between Qin and Zhao.

At that time, perhaps it was because it was inconvenient to escape because of the burden of bringing women and children; Xu felt that the people of Zhao State did not dare to harm the lives of Ying Zheng and Queen Mother Zhao, the mother and child; He told her the news that he was going to flee back to Qin, and he didn't even dare to take away Ying Zheng, who was only two years old at the time and couldn't do without his mother...

In short, the result is that Ying Zheng has been dependent on the Queen Mother Zhao since he was two years old, and has lived in Zhao State for a full six years.

The relationship between the two countries deteriorated further after Wang Yu besieged Handan. After Ying Zichu left, the malice of the people of Zhao State came directly to the Queen Mother Zhao and Ying Zheng's mother and son. Living in this environment, how difficult is their situation? One can imagine.

Even if the Empress Dowager Zhao's family still protected their mother and son, and did not let the two of them be torn alive by the extremely angry Zhao people, the mother and son had to resist the non-life-threatening things brought by the Zhao people. malicious.

In addition, not everyone in the family of Queen Mother Zhao has goodwill towards them.

Maybe at the beginning, but after many years of being angered by the people for their mother and son, which has affected their lives, it is difficult for them to maintain the kind attitude at the beginning and not complain to the mother and son.

After living in this environment for so many years, it is not difficult for Ying Zheng to want revenge.

It's just not good to be affected by those people.

Lin Qian saw that since he set foot on the land of Zhao State, his mood had deteriorated visibly. After entering Handan, his complexion became darker, and he seemed to have lost interest in everyone and things around him. The fuse was ignited, and Ying Zheng, who was like a bomb that might explode at any time, couldn't help shrinking into a corner.

Ying Zheng glanced at her, and his eyes fell on the top of her head.

Lin Qian endured it, but she couldn't hold it back: "Your Majesty, I have wanted to ask several times, is there something strange on top of my head? Why do you always like to look at the top of my head?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and waved it back and forth over her head a few times.

Ying Zheng didn't answer, but turned his head and looked out the window.

Lin Qian took a deep breath, did she not bother him at such a time——

She didn't want to be the one who detonated Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was watching seriously, Lin Qian also quietly lifted the curtain of the car.

With just one glance, Lin Qian was stunned.

A rough calculation shows that Lin Qian has been in this world for more than a year, and she has left Xianyang Palace not once or twice, so she has a good understanding of the living conditions of the people of Qin.

Maybe it's because all the people are soldiers, no matter how old or young the men in the state of Qin are, they all have the aura that only soldiers have on their bodies. They are upright and walking with the wind as the basics, and their high spirits are particularly attractive Eye-catching; Affected by the environment, the women of Qin State also have a tough and sassy look, and they speak and do things neatly, looking full of vitality.

This is not the case for the people of Zhao State.

What she had seen and heard along the way from Qin State to Zhao State was enough for Lin Qian to discover the despondency in the people of Zhao State, but at that time she only thought that it was because Zhao State had encountered a rare apocalypse last year, and the people had not recovered .

However, Handan is the most prosperous and famous city in Zhao State, and there are many dignitaries in the city. The people living in it should be the group of people who are least affected by the drought.

But the mental outlook of the people in Handan seems to be only a little bit better than those people living in the suburbs and fields that Lin Qian has seen before. Not only are everyone thin and weak, but their eyes are also full of insensitivity.

The difference is too big.

Contrary to the state of the common people, those former nobles who were deprived of their property and slaves, even after a period of training, their bodies are still round and plump, and their whole people look full of vitality because of the intense hatred in their eyes.

At least, like a living person, not a walking dead.

Lin Qian was a little dazed.

Influenced by various film and television dramas of later generations, Lin Qian always thought that among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the life of the people of Qin State was the worst.But now it seems that if the group of "people" is limited to the aristocratic and bureaucratic class, the lives of nobles and officials in Qin State are indeed among the worst in the Seven Kingdoms, but if the group of "people" is limited to the common people, the people of Qin State will say Not allowed on the contrary is the best life.

Because, at least there is hope in life.

Lin Qian couldn't help being shocked by her discovery, and also felt a sense of being deceived in her heart.

Ying Zheng seemed to have sensed her emotional change, and asked her, "What's wrong, madam?"

After Lin Qian hesitated, she told Ying Zheng what she had found.

Yingzheng rarely calmed down: "Isn't this a matter of course? In your words, a country's resources are limited, and if a certain class grabs too many resources, there will naturally be less allocated to others. The Six Nations will Resources are concentrated in the hands of the clan, nobles and officials, and the resources such as food are naturally very few for the common people."

"The people of the Qin State can get more living resources and channels to be promoted to the nobility than the people of the Six Kingdoms. It was originally Shang Jun who snatched it from the mouths of the clan, nobles and officials through reforms. What happens like that?"

Ying Zheng quickly regained his composure, and turned his gaze out of the window again.

Lin Qian was a little curious: "What are you looking at?"

Ying Zheng looked at the figure flashing by outside the window, and replied directly: "Look at the changes in Handan in the past 20 years."

Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, not daring to ask any more questions.

Soon, the convoy arrived at Zhao Palace.

Lin Qian first got off the carriage with Lin Mo's support, and then waited for Ying Zheng to get off the carriage.

But before Ying Zheng appeared, Lin Qian saw the Queen Mother Zhao jumped out of the carriage behind them impatiently. The coachman and Gong'e beside them were startled, and hurried forward to support her.

Lin Qian's eyes twitched: [At any rate, I'm nearly half a hundred years old, so I'm not afraid of suddenly flashing my waist. 】

The Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't care about anything else, she was very excited when she saw the Zhao Palace, but after a short while, she eagerly looked around, and then walked quickly to Yang Duanhe, who was in charge of Zhao Palace's security——

After taking down the State of Zhao, the State of Qin turned its goal to the State of Yan, which is adjacent to the State of Zhao. Wang Jian, Li Xin, and Qiang Yan had already led troops to station in Zhongshan. After the news of his visit to Handan in person, he took his army to stay in Handan to clean up the danger and protect the safety of Yingzheng.

Empress Dowager Zhao asked Yang Duanhe unceremoniously: "Ai's family has arrived in Handan, where are the others?"

After Yang Duanhe bowed his hands and saluted, he asked blankly, "I don't know who the 'others' mentioned by the Queen Mother are?"

Empress Dowager Zhao said anxiously: "It is a relative of the Ai family!"

Ying Zheng just got out of the carriage, and when he heard the words, he glanced at her indifferently: "They heard that the widow has arrived in Handan, dare to come?"

Queen Mother Zhao turned her head and clenched her hands tightly.

== Prophecy ==

Ying Zheng didn't bother to talk to Queen Mother Zhao, and directly entered Zhao Palace under the leadership of Yang Duanhe.

Lin Qian walked halfway, and couldn't help but look back at Queen Mother Zhao.

It can be seen that she has been very excited since she arrived in Handan. At first, Lin Qian thought she was happy because she was about to see her relatives, but the scene just now made Lin Qian aware of the traces of fear hidden in the Queen Mother Zhao's heart. with hatred.

Lin Qian hesitated for a while, always feeling that there was something she had overlooked.

Ying Zheng didn't know what she was thinking, so he turned around and asked her to follow.

Lin Qian nodded, quickly raised his feet to catch up with Ying Zheng, and together they entered the palace where Zhao Wangqian lived before.

The character of the kings of the two countries can actually be glimpsed from their residences.

Even if the Xianyang Palace where Yingzheng lives is not the main hall where he lives, the decoration in the hall is mainly simple and generous, lacking in gorgeous decorations and details, the overall appearance is wide and large, quiet and secluded, revealing a calm and domineering.

The palace of Zhao Wangqian is completely opposite to Xianyang Palace.

In terms of size, it is not as large as the Xianyang Palace, but one of the decorations is mainly made of various metal jade. Even in the Warring States Period, there is a sense of grandeur, luxury and refinement, which can be seen at a glance. The owner who lives in it especially likes to enjoy it.

Xu Shi was used to living in Xianyang Palace, but Lin Qian felt a little uncomfortable after seeing the decoration of Zhao Palace.

The two still lived in the same palace as before, one in the main hall and the other in the side hall.

The two of them didn't say much after being exhausted by boat and car before. They quickly went to their respective residences, and lay down to rest after washing up.

This sleep lasted until the next morning.

Lin Mo came over early in the morning and called her: "Mother Qian, there has been movement in the main hall, you should get up."

If Yingzheng was not awake, the servants in the main hall would never dare to make any noise to wake him up. On the contrary, if there was any movement in the main hall, it meant that Yingzheng was awake.

Lin Qian used to use the movement of the main hall as an alarm clock in order to get up in time.

According to the arrangement, Ying Zheng needs to meet with Handan County Sheriff and general Yang Duanhe stationed here today to learn more about the situation in Zhao State and make follow-up arrangements.

Lin Qian didn't dare to waste time, and rushed to the main hall after eating too early.

who knew...

Ying Zheng looked at Yang Duanhe standing in front of him with a cold expression: "You mean, the queen mother left Zhao Palace without even washing up after getting up early this morning?"

Lin Qian paused, crying inwardly.

What the hell is this Queen Mother Zhao doing? Even if Ying Zheng wants to take revenge, he won't do anything to her...

Suddenly, Lin Qian finally remembered what he had forgotten yesterday.

Because there were other people in the palace, Lin Qian could only remind Ying Zheng from the bottom of his heart: [Ying Zheng, I suddenly remembered something.The time of Queen Mother Zhao's death recorded in the history books I have read happened to be after the city of Handan was broken, and you went to Handan to take revenge yourself! 】

Ying Zheng raised his head instantly, with a particularly ugly expression.

Lin Qian thought he didn't believe it, so he quickly explained: [I didn't specifically remember the time of Queen Mother Zhao's death when I read it, but I remember it very clearly. later. 】

She still remembers that she saw in the historical records that "in the Handan of the King of Qin, all the tasters had enmity with the mother's family when the king gave birth to Zhao, and they all quarreled. The King of Qin returned and returned from Taiyuan and Shangjun. The Empress Dowager, the mother of the first emperor died." When I was young, I was still relatively young, and because of my resentment towards my parents, my thoughts were extremely extreme, and I especially liked to think of people in a bad direction.

And because Empress Dowager Zhao's reputation has always been linked to the affairs of Fengyue, Lin Qian thought about whether Empress Dowager Zhao still had a childhood sweetheart in Zhao State, because her lover was killed by Ying Zheng. That's why Ying Zheng committed suicide after returning to Xianyang.

But when she grew up, Lin Qian didn't think so anymore.

After all, after the palace change failed, not only the Queen Mother Zhao's lover Lai Ai disappeared, but her two sons and daughters were also killed. Isn't she still alive and well?

When Lin Qian grew up and saw this text, she felt sorry for Queen Mother Zhao for her unreasonable speculation when she was young and frivolous.

But Queen Mother Zhao never died sooner or later, but she just disappeared after Yingzheng went to Handan to avenge her revenge. There must be some secret behind this that others don't know.

Ying Zheng's face was completely unreadable.

He was too lazy to talk to Yang Duanhe, so he got up and walked towards Lin Qian.

After standing in front of her for a while, Ying Zheng frowned, and said as if he had finally made up his mind: "You stay in Zhao Palace today, and don't leave if there is no accident. Meng Tian, ​​you are responsible for protecting Marquis Gu Feng."

When Meng Tian heard "Marquis Gu Feng", his attitude instantly became solemn: "I take orders!"

Yingzheng turned his head: "Yang Duanhe, bring a thousand soldiers with you to find the Queen Mother."

A thousand soldiers?

Is this looking for someone, or is it going to raid the house?

Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng's majestic and lonely back, wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

When Yingzheng was about to cross the threshold, Lin Qian suddenly became overwhelmed and asked his back, "Your Majesty, can I go with you to find the Queen Mother?"

Ying Zheng looked back at her and curled his lower lip: "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Qian took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid!"

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't sleep all night last night, and today she ordered people to dress herself up when the sky was just turning pale, and immediately led people away from Zhao Palace, and followed her memory to the front of the house.

Her family was originally a wealthy businessman, and the family is relatively rich, but their status in Zhao State is not high.

If not, the parents would not have wanted to give some of the sisters in the family to Lu Buwei, in order to please him and bring enough benefits to the family.

It's just that it was not the Queen Mother Zhao who was selected at that time, but the sister of the Queen Mother Zhao's mother.

Because of her beauty, the Empress Dowager Zhao was favored by her father early on, and she decided to send her to the Zhao Palace in order to gain the favor of the former king and improve her family's status and treatment in Zhao.

The Queen Mother Zhao sisters didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

But Zhao Wangqian's father was in power at that time. He was already old at that time, and he had already favored the empress, so the Queen Mother Zhao was not very willing.Compared with Zhao Wangqian's father, she is more willing to please Lu Buwei, who is not as powerful as the previous king but younger.

On the contrary, the sister of the Empress Dowager Zhao is more willing to enter the palace to fight for favor.

So the two sisters reached an agreement on their own and switched places——

This is why Ying Zhenghui said that Queen Mother Zhao took the initiative to be Lu Buwei's concubine.

The two sisters exchanged at that time, one fell in love with Lu Buwei's young rich man, and the other fell in love with the high position and weight of the former king. It was just that they each got what they needed, and it couldn't be said which one was more advantageous.

But who would have thought that Queen Mother Zhao would have such an adventure later?

The Empress Dowager Zhao had a good life, and when she thought of her sister, she inevitably felt somewhat guilty that she had robbed her of her life.

knock knock --

Empress Dowager Zhao ordered someone to come forward and knock on the door.

squeak-

The door was opened a crack, and a bearded man poked his head out quietly: "Who is it? You want us to intercede with the King of Qin again? I've said it countless times, we really don't have that good relationship with the King of Qin , King Qin won’t listen to us, you better leave quickly!”

Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned, seeing that the man was about to close the door, she hurried forward: "I am Wu Niang!"

The man frowned: "What four mothers and five mothers, we..."

He was stunned, his eyes wandered for a moment on the face of Queen Mother Zhao, and he suddenly realized: "You are Queen Mother Zhao?!"

Mrs. Zhao smiled from behind, and was about to speak, when the man turned pale with shock, and closed the door with a "bang".

Empress Dowager Zhao was dumbfounded: "..."

She hurriedly stepped forward to knock on the door: "Which sister's child are you? Why did you close the door when you recognized me? Why don't you open the door quickly and let me in!"

After patting a few times, Queen Mother Zhao felt pain in her hands, and asked Gong'e to go forward and continue to pat on the door.

The person in the room seemed to be terribly disturbed, and closed the door and yelled: "Queen Zhao, please forgive us. Since you appeared in Handan, King Qin should have already arrived in Handan? At this time, we just shrink back and act as if we don't know how to do it." Calling quail is better than letting him notice us. Queen Mother Zhao, can you just pretend that we don't exist?"

Empress Dowager Zhao was struck by lightning.

The Gong'e who was knocking on the door was also a little dumbfounded. Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at Queen Mother Zhao: "Queen Mother, this door... shall we still shoot?"

People don't welcome you back at all.

That Gong'e listened to the Queen Mother Zhao talking about her life at home when she was young every day these days, and she always felt very warm. She thought that the Queen Mother Zhao had a good life at home, but her family's reaction...

Doesn't seem to be the case?

The Queen Mother Zhao was looked at by Gong'e with such eyes, and she was furious: "Knock on the door, Aijia wants to see if they can keep the door open for a whole day!"

Gong'e paused, but she turned her head and knocked on the door after all.

The man behind the door became more and more anxious when he heard the words: "I beg you, Queen Mother Zhao, our family treated you well back then, and we didn't expect you to repay your natal family, but can't we do it without bringing disaster to the family?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao only felt that her good intentions were taken as a donkey's liver and lungs: "Ying Zheng has arrived in Handan yesterday, and he seems to be planning to take revenge this time. Ai's family came to remind you, why is it just a disaster for you? You people are too... …

"Isn't this fucking natural?" The man couldn't help but swear, "If it wasn't for revenge, he wouldn't have enough time to deal with the world's affairs every day, so why would he go to Handan at the risk? I'm not Tell you to stay in your Zhao Palace obediently and don't go out? You should be quiet, don't let King Qin think of our bad relatives, it's really enough!"

Although judging from King Qin's actions to come to Handan all the way, this is impossible at all.

But don't draw King Qin's attention to them immediately, if they can survive for a while, who would be willing to take the initiative to die? !

Empress Dowager Zhao was dumbfounded.

It took her a while to react.

She also immediately realized the inappropriateness of her eager action today, and immediately turned around and boarded the carriage: "Quick, quick, let's go back to the palace!"

however……

A carriage drove over, blocking the return journey of Queen Mother Zhao's carriage.

Yang Duanhe got off his horse and ordered the soldiers to surround the house directly.

Many people around heard the noise and ran over to watch the excitement, but after discovering the emblem on Yingzheng's carriage, they all turned around and ran away in fright.

Only then did Ying Zheng appear from the carriage: "Why didn't my mother tell my relatives when I saw my relatives later?"

When Queen Mother Zhao heard the sound, she suddenly opened the curtain of the car.

After seeing Ying Zheng and the soldiers behind her, she was trembling all over: "Zheng'er, Ai, Ai's family just went out for a stroll, and there was no one in the house... Don't you have other things to do? We Let's go back to the palace first."

Ying Zheng glanced at her, got out of the carriage, turned around, and pulled Lin Qian out of the carriage.

Seeing Lin Qian standing still, he led Yang Duanhe to the door.

He didn't even knock on the door, and the door that had been closed before was opened from the inside with a "squeak": "Qin, King Qin, you are here..."

Ying Zheng glanced at the other party, not impressed, and turned to look at Yang Duanhe behind him.

Yang Duanhe understood, raised his hand and pushed the man away.

Ying Zheng walked straight into the house.

Lin Qian was overwhelmed by Ying Zheng's aura, so his reaction was a bit slow, and he finally reacted and chased after seeing everyone entering the door.

Seeing this, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly got off the carriage.

The bearded man stopped the Queen Mother Zhao and gave her a vicious look: "I was stupid back then, but I haven't made any progress after so many years. You are going to kill our whole family!"

As he said that, he passed the Queen Mother Zhao, ran to the veranda next to him, and took a shortcut to the middle hall.

When Yang Duanhe heard the sound, he subconsciously drew his sword and chased after him.

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him: "Don't worry about him."

Yang Duanhe withdrew his sword, looked back at Queen Mother Zhao, and then quickly turned around to keep an eye on Yingzheng's surroundings.

==·Past·==

Empress Dowager Zhao panicked and wanted to speak, but she was worried that what she said would anger Ying Zheng, so she could only follow behind him anxiously without saying a word.

Lin Qian never took his eyes off Ying Zheng's face, but felt that the more he walked in, the more difficult it was for people to see the expression in his eyes.

It feels so bad.

Soon, a group of people came to the main house.

There were quite a few people standing at the door, men, women, young and old, it seemed that the whole family was out.

These people had absolutely no intention of relying on blood ties to play the family card. Almost as soon as they saw Ying Zheng, they immediately knelt down to him and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to him.

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at her elder brother who was the leader, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

It's a pity that the elder brother she was thinking about kept his head down, not daring to offend Ying Zheng in the slightest.

Ying Zheng waited for a while, finally seemed satisfied, and then said: "The widow was taken care of by you all those years ago. According to what the queen mother said, I still owe you a kindness. There is really no need to perform such a big gift."

The leading man trembled all over with fright, and couldn't help raising his head and glaring at Queen Mother Zhao viciously.

Empress Dowager Zhao became more and more flustered.

Lin Qian was a little surprised. She thought that the family members of the Queen Mother Zhao couldn't see the situation as clearly as she did, but it turns out...

She looked at Queen Mother Zhao: this is the only one who is stupid.

After Ying Zheng woke him up, he walked straight into the middle hall.

Lin Qian and Yang Duanhe quickly followed.

The Empress Dowager Zhao deliberately stayed at the end, and stretched out her hand to grab her brother's sleeve, but unexpectedly, she was thrown away violently by him, and she was even warned in a low voice: "Be quiet!"

After speaking, he stepped aside and waited for Queen Mother Zhao to leave first.

The Queen Mother Zhao was in a daze, almost lost all thinking ability, and could only enter the room numbly according to the other party's wishes.

She entered the door, and the others followed suit.

As soon as the leading middle-aged man entered the room, he immediately knelt down towards Ying Zheng who was sitting at the top: "King Qin, we were blind and didn't know good and bad back then, but now we know we were wrong, please show mercy and forgive us." !"

As soon as he knelt, the others followed suit.

Ying Zheng looked at him and shook his head: "Although the widow has a bad temper, he also pays attention to revenge. I still remember that my uncle and grandfather have been protecting the widow. It is too late for the widow to repay you. Why do you need to forgive you?" ? But those cousins ​​of the widow... The widow looks at it, why does it seem that no one is there?"

Even if an adult doesn't like a certain child, it is rare for an adult to attack the child regardless of his status, and at most it will be cold and violent.

On the contrary, children are easily influenced by the environment and hurt their peers.

The middle-aged man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and panicked all over: "After the city of Handan was broken, the Qin State and General Wang Jian confiscated the property and slaves of the nobility. The general thinks that we and His Majesty...you don't want to accept it, and said that we will wait for you to come, so please make a decision."

"In order to prevent the property from being robbed, I, I sent a few children to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to guard the property."

"If, if Your Majesty wants to see them, I, my minister, Cao Min will immediately order someone to call them back."

The man swallowed, and couldn't help but raised his hand to wipe the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes: "It's just, it's just that the distance is far away, I'm afraid it will take some time for Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng glanced at his uncle meaningfully, then suddenly reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist.

He smiled: "The widow may not have seen them for many years, please send someone to invite them back to catch up with the past."

Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't bear it anymore.

Just now when she heard that her elder brother was going to hand over all the property, the Queen Mother Zhao was already very nervous, but now she heard that her elder brother was going to call back the well-hidden nephews and nieces, how could she sit still?

She rushed up to block her brother and glared at Ying Zheng: "Ying Zheng, they are your relatives too!"

Lin Qian was dumbfounded.

She could see clearly just now that Ying Zheng's originally gloomy mood had improved when the elder brother of the Queen Mother Zhao mentioned that he had thought about handing over all his property voluntarily and that he was not very resistant to calling his junior back from the suburbs. As soon as the Queen Mother came out like this, well, Ying Zheng's mood instantly fell to the bottom, even worse than before.

Lin Qian subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man behind Queen Mother Zhao, his eyes were full of sympathy.

The middle-aged man was already taken aback by Queen Mother Zhao's actions, but now he accidentally met Lin Qian's gaze, and the string that had been tense in his heart suddenly broke with a "snap".

He could hardly control his voice: "Zhao Wuniang, shut up!"

Empress Dowager Zhao was taken aback, and looked back at her elder brother in disbelief: "I'm here to help..."

The middle-aged man became anxious: "You are helping me by keeping your mouth shut!"

Looking at this scene, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.

He smiled, and the middle-aged man panicked: "Zheng'er, believe me, I have never had contact with your mother before, and I didn't expect her to do this. We definitely have no intention of confronting you. I know how much you All of your cousins ​​bullied you at the beginning—I didn’t know it before, but your cousins ​​told me after I heard that you would come to Handan. I’ve whipped them, really Believe me, I really didn't teach your mother what she said!"

The sweat of the middle-aged man rushed down like a waterfall: What the hell is going on!

Hearing his panicked voice, Ying Zheng frowned when he thought of his calm and controlled appearance in the past.

Kneeling next to the middle-aged man was the bearded man who opened the door for them before. He first noticed Lin Qian's eyes, and then caught Ying Zheng's expression in his eyes, and he became disoriented.

After all, he was young and inexperienced, so he panicked for a moment and uncontrollably said hurtful words: "King Qin, you and the Queen Mother Zhao have lived together since childhood, and you should know her best. However, she is a beautiful fool with nothing but looks and no brains. Can't see the priority of things, can't distinguish between good and evil. She can't understand people's words at all!"

Lin Qian: "!!!"

Isn't this too harsh?

She looked at Empress Dowager Zhao who was still standing in front of the middle-aged man, and she saw that her complexion changed drastically, and she was on the verge of falling.

Ying Zheng frowned.

The middle-aged man turned his head and stared at the bearded man, but he wanted to say something, but thousands of words blocked his throat, making him unable to say a word.

what can i sayQueen Mother Zhao really can't understand human language!

He had warned Queen Mother Zhao before, telling her not to talk and to be quiet.

She helped everyone without opening her mouth.

Can……

The middle-aged man couldn't see Ying Zheng's reaction, but he was heartbroken by the Queen Mother Zhao's sudden actions. He didn't bother to care about the Queen Mother Zhao's mood, so he just broke the pot and said what the beard wanted. My family distinguished: "The Empress Dowager Zhao... Maybe she was spoiled by my father when she was young, and she is innocent and ignorant of world affairs. Except for direct orders from my father, she always chooses what others say to listen to what she likes."

"It's like back then, King Zhao, with the love of your mother and son when they stayed in Handan, let him..." He looked up to see Ying Zheng's expression, but was blocked by the back of Queen Mother Zhao, and his heart was troubled again, " Let her emulate the Empress Dowager Xuan's regent to seize power, and use Zhao people to control Changping Jun and Lu Buwei and others. After Qin State supported Zhao Guo's forces, she didn't want her to be too stupid. Not only was she fooled by Lu Buwei's rhetoric, but she gave up all the power , and then supported Lao Ai to the top, which caught us all by surprise."

At that time, Yingzheng was young, and the queen mother, as his biological mother, should have been easier to regent and take power.

For example, the Empress Dowager Xuan even gave power to the government and the public, and supported a large number of Chu forces in the country, and there are still remnants in the court.

However, the Queen Mother Zhao is different, she has almost no authority in her hands.

The little that was left was given to Lao Ai.

The first king of Zhao Guo was almost mad when he heard about this. At the beginning, Yingzheng's mother and son were beaten by almost everyone in Zhao Guo. With the status of the Zhao family, there was no way to protect the mother and son intact. It was not because the former king was behind Contributing secretly, I hope they can take the opportunity to do something when they return to China in the future?

As a result, the winking eyes were thrown to the blind man.

Why did Zhao Guo completely give up the chess piece of Queen Mother Zhao after Yingzheng came to power?Because they didn't take advantage of it when Yingzheng was not in charge of the government, let alone after Yingzheng took charge of the government with an iron fist.

Even the Zhao family has long since given up on Queen Mother Zhao because of all kinds of coquettish manipulations——

How good was the opportunity?She didn't want to take her natal family to Qin Guo'an and put her in the court. She turned her head and ignored their dissuasion and had two sons with a lover. After that, she even ignored the firm opposition of the Zhao family and wanted to help a man with a foreign surname like a madman. superior...

What can they say?

Although the clan and nobles of the Qin Kingdom have no sense of existence, they do not!die!Absolutely!

Now you act like you want to stand up for your family. Why did you care about your family so much as you did now?

Empress Dowager Zhao looked back at her elder brother, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Since the death of her husband, lover and two illegitimate children, Queen Mother Zhao almost regarded her relatives far away in Zhao country as the only life-saving straw. She never expected that her family would miss her so much.

The Queen Mother Zhao said angrily: "If you hadn't forced me, how could I have married Zai Yingyi? All the hardships I suffered at the beginning were all from you. I have become the Queen Mother, so why should I use my own money? Your status fuels your ambitions, making you treat Aijia as a puppet to grab profits? Naturally, Aijia's own authority can be given to whoever you want!"

The middle-aged man couldn't bear it for a moment, but when he thought of his family, he chose to close his eyes: "Are you told not to give? After you give it, no matter what the consequences are, you will suffer it. Now you are acting like you care about your family." What do you want to do? It's extremely hypocritical!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ying Zheng sneered, "Enough!"

Empress Dowager Zhao felt even more aggrieved when she thought of the fear during this period of time: "What is enough enough? If I had known that Ying Yiren's love for me was not because of my appearance, but just wanted to marry a woman from Zhao State, in order to calm down some people. Zhao Guoren's anger and hostility, I would never have married him in the first place! I would not have given birth to you..."

"Empress Zhao speaks carefully!" The middle-aged man stopped tremblingly.

The Queen Mother Zhao shut up instantly, endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back and vented her anger towards Ying Zheng: "How much do you think he values ​​you? No, you were his bargaining chip when he was in Zhao State, and you were his when he fled Zhao State When he passed away, you were chosen by him only because you could better balance the court forces by sitting in that position..."

Ying Zheng looked at Queen Mother Zhao coldly: "Not everyone is as stupid as you."

Even if he didn't know it when he was young, he started to get in touch with the government when he grew up and discovered the confrontation between Lu Buwei and the forces of Chu State. How could he not know the reason why his father chose him instead of other brothers as heir?

But he didn't care.

Yingzheng returned to Qin when he was nearly nine years old, and his son Chu passed away at the age of 13. The father and son have only been together for four years, and most of the time they are busy with government affairs and studying. How much affection can they have?

When there is no emotion, the benefits are enough.

Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

……

Lin Qian hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Ying Zheng's hand.

Ying Zheng turned around and met her concerned eyes.

Looking up again, it was not surprising to find that the trumpet Lin Qian in the square above Lin Qian's head was holding the trumpet Ying Zheng with a worried expression on his face, and his chubby little hands were still patting the trumpet Yingzheng again and again. political back.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and took Lin Qian's hand back.

Lin Qian looked at the people present and felt like an outsider, unable to intervene at all.

But if it's possible, it's okay to go on like this.

but……

Not long after the conversation of the few people fell into a stagnant atmosphere, someone came in to report that the younger generations of the Zhao family had all returned.

Ying Zheng let people in.

then……

Lin Qian looked at the young men and women who were carried in on their stomachs on the wooden boards, and their eyes fell on their backs with intertwined scars, and he immediately took a breath.

The leader of the Zhao family is really ruthless!

Ying Zheng also seemed to be startled, glanced at several people, got up and walked to a certain man's side, and lifted the quilt covering his body.
