[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Lu Buwei has always been very vigilant about the power of the foreign relatives of Chu. After Yingzheng made the queen of Chu, he put more thoughts on dealing with the foreign relatives of Chu.Compared with his sudden rise, the influence of Chu foreign relatives in Qin State can be said to be deeply intertwined, and it is not so easy to eradicate.Lu Buwei had thoughts against Chu State, and Chu State naturally wanted to eradicate Lu Buwei.

Even if the queen of Chu became the queen of King Qin as she wished, she has not had any children for many years.Ying Zheng rested in Xiongzui's smoking room almost every day, and even Lu Buwei asked to find some more wives for Ying Zheng, but he was rejected several times before he did.Even with those wives around, they still couldn't share Xiong Zuiyan's favor.

Such favors are extremely prosperous, but there are no heirs.In the eyes of Mrs. Huayang and the others, it was obvious that someone had used some dark means.They even asked someone to check Xiong Zuiyan's body, and found some problems.

Lu Buwei drugged the Queen of Chu. If the Queen of Chu gave birth to Ying Zheng's eldest son, she would be a big threat to him.Of course he wanted to stop it.Although there are many protectors around Princess Chu, Lu Buwei also has a lot of power.He can always find opportunities to achieve his goals.

Xiong Zuiyan's body was damaged. In addition to helping Xiong Zuiyan to maintain his body, Mrs. Huayang and others also attacked the woman Lu Buwei arranged for Yingzheng.Mrs. Huayang also arranged other women for Ying Zheng, but without exception, they all followed Lu Buwei's way.Few of the people arranged by Lu Buwei survived.

Yingzheng's harem has grown stronger and stronger in the past few years, but he has almost reached the crown, but he has no heirs under his knees.He was also probably the only one who had no heirs and no ministers urging him to have a son.Most people in the government and the opposition know the reason.

Almost all the women in Qin Wang's harem were physically damaged.If they send one in, it's just one more woman who is in the way of others, and there is no way to achieve the goals of both parties.

Not to mention sending people into the palace again, ministers who have female relatives of the right age at home will almost avoid this topic without a trace.Even those who don't have female relatives of the right age are afraid that Ying Zheng will become angry from embarrassment.

Such a stalemate made both sides a little impatient, and Lu Buwei decided to act first.With Lu Buwei's temperament, even if he wants to strike first, it is absolutely impossible for him to do it himself.In his hand, he does have a suitable 'knife'.

Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji had an affair a long time ago. After Zhao Ji married Qin Zichu, the two restrained themselves a little.However, after they planned Qin Zichu's death, the relationship between the two reverted to the old way.

Ying Zheng was already 13 years old at the time, and he looked more mature than ordinary children.In order to avoid catastrophe, Lu Buwei found Zhao Ji a lover who satisfied her.This person is - 'Lao Ai'.

Lai Ai is useless in Lu Buwei's eyes, but because he is really talented in bed matters, Zhao Ji loves him very much, and many officials are vying to make friends with him.After so many years, a lot of power has developed around Lai Ai.

Although Lu Buwei didn't take Lao Ai seriously, he always knew his current ability.And his ambition that started to swell after having an illegitimate child with Zhao Ji.Qin Wang Yingzheng called him Lu Buwei's "Zhongfu", and Lao Ai called himself the "false father" of Qin Wang.Apparently Lai Ai also hoped to turn the 'false father' into the real father.

As long as Lu Buwei pretends to support Lai Ai, he will definitely not be able to do it.It is even more impossible for Zhao Ji to stop his plan.

Zhao Ji has some real feelings for Lu Buwei, and her current identity can be said to be planned by Lu Buwei for her.She is indeed beautiful, but she is not the only beauty in this world, but she is the only one who has become the most honorable woman in Qin today.Zhao Ji can be regarded as obedient to Lu Buwei.

In the ninth year of King Qin (238 BC), Yingzheng went to Yongzhou City and held a crowning ceremony.This day is also the time planned by Lu Buwei and Lao Ai.Lai Ai took the opportunity to steal Qin Wangxi and Empress Dowager Xi, and after killing Yingzheng, she could support the illegitimate son of him and Zhao Ji as king.

However, after Lai Ai seized the jade seal.Only then did he realize that the people he brought with him did not pose a threat to Ying Zheng as he had imagined.Although the soldiers were constantly approaching Yingzheng, they seemed to be taking this opportunity to kill people around Yingzheng.Moreover, most of these people were Mrs. Huayang's people, and even Queen Xiong Zuiyan was murdered.

Seeing such a scene, Ying Zheng didn't panic, but there was a look of excitement in his eyes.Although not to say that all of this was arranged by him alone, it was all fueled by him.After planning for so long, now is the time for him to gather power.

After he saw that the forces of Chu State were almost wiped out by the troops brought by Lao Ai, he glanced at Wang Jian who was not far away.After catching his sight, Wang Jian disappeared from everyone's sight. Not long after, another force appeared in the field.He suppressed the people brought by Lao Ai at an extremely fast speed, and captured Lao Ai alive.

When Lu Buwei brought people to the rescue, what he saw was the scene where the dust had settled.It is obviously impossible to have the power to rescue him that he wanted.

Lao Ai wanted him and Zhao Ji's illegitimate son to inherit the throne, which was not justified.How could he follow their wishes.In this battle, he regarded both Zhao Ji and Lao Ai as abandoned sons, but the result was very different from what he had imagined.

Lu Buwei never thought of letting Ying Zheng step down, what he wanted was to save him.With this credit, even if Yingzheng's power increases in the future, when you want to deal with him, you have to think about how to block the mouths of many people.It's like he has a talisman.

Not only that, he also lost a lot of troops in this battle.It is possible that most of Lai Ai's men did not obey his orders, but attacked Mrs. Huayang's men instead, so naturally many of his men were mixed in.

Lu Buwei planned to release this part of the troops without trace when he rescued them.When the time comes back with a different identity, it can still be used by him.

He saw that Qin Wang Yingzheng was not a mediocre person, but he didn't expect Yingzheng to grow so fast.When he and Mrs. Huayang didn't notice anything.He already has the strength to suppress one side.

Now he helped Ying Zheng destroy most of Mrs. Huayang's forces, and sent some of his own troops.His remaining power is obviously not enough to compete with Ying Zheng.Winner and loser, at this point, Lu Buwei had to sigh for Yingzheng's shrewdness.

He looked up at Ying Zheng's majestic face. He seemed to have learned this expression since Ying Zheng was very young.Over the years, not much has changed.It's just that momentum, but it has really climbed to the level where he dare not look directly.

Lu Buwei left with his men, and Ying Zheng didn't stop him.He began to take back the influence that once controlled the foreign relatives of Chu and some of Lao Ai's subordinates.Of course, there are still some forces that apparently belong to Lao Ai's subordinates, but actually belong to Lu Buwei's forces.In those crucial positions, arrange for the courtiers you trust.

For Lao Ai herself, he will not have the slightest affection.He was punished by being split by a car, and even the three clans were exterminated.He did not let go of the illegitimate son of Zhao Ji and Lao Ai.Such a filthy bloodline should not have survived in this world.

What made him dissatisfied was that no matter how many unsightly things Zhao Ji did, he, his own son, was the last thing he could do to her.Benevolence, righteousness and etiquette are widely spoken.Even if he doesn't care much about it himself, he always has to worry about the thoughts of ministers and even the common people.Only Zhao Ji was alone, and there was really no trouble, so he ordered Zhao Ji to be imprisoned in Yongcheng Palace.

It has been a year since Ying Zheng gathered all the forces.Now he is no longer the old Amon, he has almost controlled the power of the entire Qin country, and he started to attack Lu Buwei.First, Lu Buwei was removed from his position as Xiangguo and exiled to Bashu.It didn't take long before he found another name that he had colluded with the six kingdoms of Shandong, and sent Lu Buwei an essential question book.

In fact, both he and Lu Buwei understood that the so-called interrogation letter was just a title.Yingzheng has been under Lu Buwei's control for so many years, and he hates him madly.If Lu Buwei falls into the hands of Ying Zheng, the ending may be even more tragic than Lai Ai.However, if you really want to send troops to deal with Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng will waste money and people.

He was giving Lu Buwei a chance to let him die a little more decently, and also to save himself some effort.Lu Buwei was a smart man. After receiving the interrogation letter, he committed suicide directly.

After Lu Buwei's death, the crowd under him had no leader, so they naturally disintegrated.Ying Zheng gathered the power of his subordinates, which naturally went smoothly.

After Ying Zheng gathered all the forces in his hands, the first thing he thought of was the person he missed for many years.That occupied Zhao Yan from his childhood and youth until now.

Originally, King Qin's harem was a place of dire straits in the eyes of the ministers.Now Mrs. Huayang and Lu Buwei have both withdrawn from the political arena.In the hearts of the ministers, the harem naturally became profitable.All the ministers came forward one after another, hoping that His Majesty would soon become a queen and give birth to a son soon.

Qin Wang Yingzheng readily agreed...

In 236 BC, King Yingzheng of Qin sent people to the State of Zhao to propose marriage, asking to marry Zhao Yan, the daughter of King Zhao.

The ministers did not have time to react. The princesses of other countries are really qualified to be queens.Although the state of Zhao is relatively weak, but now this queen is not the original match of King Qin, and no one in the court has any objections.

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng sent people to Zhao to propose marriage, and the form was quite formal, which was even more powerful than when he married the princess of Chu back then.However, considering that the person who controlled the government back then was Lu Buwei after all, but now it is Qin Shihuang himself, so naturally we cannot generalize.

……

"Prince, princess..." Bichun ran back in a hurry, the shock that was too late to hide in her sight.

"What happened, you are so flustered so early in the morning?" Xun Ying stretched out her hand to comfort Xiong Ying.She raised her head and glanced at Bichun. Bichun had been by her side all these years, and her temperament was somewhat similar to hers.If it's nothing serious, it's rare to show an obvious look.

"The envoys of the Qin State came to our country to ask for marriage for the King of Qin. They, they said that the King of Qin called on you to marry the princess." Bi Chun really wanted to marry the prince.

Ever since the princess was 15 years old and reached the age when she could get married, she had been thinking about it, but she was stopped by the princess because she already had someone she wanted.

In fact, Bichun was aware of the more and more gifts that the eagle brought.Whether it was jewellery, clothes or money, the eagle had brought them all.However, she couldn't understand why the man didn't come to ask for his marriage when the man had feelings for the princess and the princess had the same heart for him? !

Bichun didn't believe her identity was not enough.When she followed Gao Shi in her early years, she gained a lot of insight.Which piece of jewelry that man gave to the princess is not the best of the best.The clothes delivered are also exquisitely cut and fit very well.The two of them had obviously used the eagle to communicate the song in secret.

No matter how much she nagged the princess, she would only get a smile.As a result, from the age of 15 to more than [-] years old now, the princess has become an old girl, but she still does not see the shadow of that person.She was naturally very anxious, but she knew that once the princess identified someone, she might not have any other choice in her life.

Now that person didn't come, but the king of Qin came.The King of Qin has always been very strong.It is absolutely impossible for King Zhao to offend King Qin for the sake of the queen. He wished he could make friends with King Qin through the use of the queen.If the princess came to Qin, she would be alone and helpless.King Zhao, on the other hand, does not necessarily become the backing of the princess, on the contrary, it is possible to use the princess as a bargaining chip.

"Will the King of Qin win the government?" Xun Ying took his hand away from Ying's body and met Bi Chun's gaze.

"Of course! There is only that one King Qin in this world." Bichun also once lamented to Zhao Yan how powerful the King Qin was, and it took more than ten years to completely control the entire Qin Dynasty in his own hands.Among all the emperors in this world, King Qin should also be ranked first.

Now, she would rather hope that the King of Qin is not powerful.She had heard that King Qin didn't care about all women.When the previous queen died, the funeral was rushed.He even had the misdeed of beating and maiming court ladies since he was a child.Even if the rumors are not completely credible, at least eight or nine points can be believed.Even if it is only eight or nine points, I still feel that King Qin is very scary.

"After King Qin's envoy arrives, just bring him in." Xun Ying stretched out her hand to gather up the silk cloth on the table, these things probably won't be of much use in the future.

"But..." Bi Chun looked worried, and brought in the envoys from Qin, what will the princess do?If she really married into the state of Qin, wouldn't it be a waste of youth for the princess to wait for that man for so long?

"Bi Chun, haven't you been nagging why he didn't come to propose marriage? Now that he's here, shouldn't you be happy?" Xun Ying raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"..." Bichun's eyes widened involuntarily, she obviously couldn't believe this fact. "Princess, you say, that person, that person is King Qin?!"

"En." Xun Ying nodded, although up to now, Ying Zheng has not told her his real identity in his pen and ink.The letters in the past few days are no different from usual.

Bichun thought of Zhao Yan's loss of consciousness when he heard the news about King Qin several times, and it turned out that those were not her illusions.It's just because Zhao Yan concealed it too well, which made her feel that she was thinking too much.Several times, she has faintly touched the truth, but she has brought herself even further.

The person Wang Daughter likes is King Qin, and it seems that she also likes it tightly based on the attitude that King Qin treats Wang Daughter.It is even more likely that the two met when the princess was four years old.

Bichun connected all of Zhao Yan's abnormal behaviors together, and the panic on her face had disappeared, replaced by a bit of nervousness.Since the queen will become the queen of Qin in the future, it is natural to leave a good impression in front of the ministers of Qin. "Then we have to receive the envoy of Qin State well, lest the envoy think we are rude."

"No need, Bichun. It's already here." Xun Ying looked in the direction not far away, and a group of people came over.The person who walked in the front was the father of her body.

"Yan'er has seen her father." Xun Ying hurriedly saluted when Zhao Wang was still four or five steps away from her.

"My servant has seen His Majesty." Bi Chun followed closely behind Zhao Yan and saluted.

"Yan'er don't need to be polite, get up quickly." Zhao Wang's attitude is very eager, no one can see it.Before today, King Zhao hadn't seen his daughter Zhao Yan for more than ten years.

If Qin State hadn't sent envoys to propose marriage, he probably wouldn't have remembered that he still had such a daughter.And this daughter is already in her twenties...

"I have seen the daughter of Yan Wang." Yue Kang saw the eagle standing next to Zhao Yan from a distance, he calmed down his disapproving thoughts, and became very cautious towards Zhao Yan.

"Please get up." Xun Ying stretched out her hand to help Yue Kang, without any contact.

After Yue Kang straightened up, he couldn't help but glance at Ying beside Xun Ying again.He initially worked as a bodyguard by Ying Zheng's side, and originally wanted to be a neutral figure among several parties, so as to be impartial.

In the end, because he saw His Majesty sending out red silk cloth with an eagle on the wedding day, under the pressure of His Majesty step by step, he had no choice but to choose the camp.Now it is the state of Qin, which also shows how correct his choice is, and how aware he was of current affairs at that time.

In short, he has come to this point, and this eagle can be regarded as the instigator.Yue Kang naturally would not forget the appearance of this eagle, and he would never forget that this eagle would not let anyone approach him except His Majesty.

Yuekang saw that the eagle standing here was so well-behaved, even much more so than when he was beside His Majesty, it was really inconceivable.

"Yan'er has liked animals since he was a child. What does this eagle look like?" Seeing Yuekang staring at the eagle beside Zhao Yan, Zhao Wang felt that he was very heroic and could show off.He took two steps forward and was about to reach out to the eagle.

"Since it is the eagle raised by Yan Wang's daughter, it is naturally excellent." Yue Kang quickly reached out and grabbed Zhao Wang's arm, preventing him from touching the eagle.

If usual, whether this King Zhao would be humiliated by an eagle, he didn't bother to care at all.As a courtier of other countries, he is most likely to stand on the sidelines.But today, on behalf of King Qin, he is seeking to marry Zhao Yan, the daughter of King Zhao, as the queen, and this King Zhao in front of him is Zhao Yan's biological father.No matter what, he had to save some face for King Zhao.

"The beast is ferocious, your majesty has a body of gold, so be careful." Yue Kang put down his hand after speaking, and retreated to the side.

Xun Ying reached out and touched Xiong Ying's head. If Yue Kang didn't stop him just now, King Zhao would really get no benefit.

The eagle is the king in the sky, and has always been somewhat arrogant.Because of her special nature, she can naturally make the eagle obey. Ying Zheng shot the eagle down from the sky with his own hands, and the eagle is somewhat afraid of him.This fear turns into obedience as we get along.As for the others, naturally he cannot be made to bow his head.

Zhao Wang also withdrew his hand, just now he was so complacent, but he really forgot the habits of ferocious beasts. "Let's talk about business first."

"Father, please." Xun Yu lowered her head slightly, followed Zhao Wang and walked towards the hall.

"Daughter Yanwang, I have come to marry the princess at the order of my king, and His Majesty Zhao Wang has already agreed." Yue Kang couldn't help but speak after everyone sat down, he was a little panicked.I am afraid that King Zhao will directly explain the facts in an orderly tone.Although, the result is the same.

Zhao Wang had already agreed to the matter of marriage in the court, and now it is just a formality.As for Zhao Yan's mind, it was not in King Zhao's consideration.This is the sorrow of women in the Warring States Period.

Yue Kang originally only thought of Zhao Yan as a tool for marriage, if he hadn't seen Ying beside her, his attitude would definitely not be so polite.Even if Zhao Yan will be the queen of King Qin in the future, the intersection between the two is very little.He has long been arranged by Ying Zheng to other places, and he does not serve in the deep palace, so he does not have to be afraid of the queen.

Yue Kang couldn't help but wonder if the reason why His Majesty sent him to Zhao Guo as an envoy instead of sending someone he valued more to blame was because he had more chances to get along with the eagle and could recognize him?In Yuekang's mind, the impression of Ying Zhengsuan was too deep.

Although King Zhao was dissatisfied with Yuekang speaking before him, Yuekang's respectful tone was very helpful to him.Although the state of Qin is big, this envoy is not a domineering person. "That's right, the King of Qin is a man of talent, full of talent, so he is a good match."

"Everything is subject to father's arrangement." Xun Ying bowed her head without any objection.

Yue Kang only thought that His Majesty had greeted him personally, after all, the eagle was there. "I don't know when Princess Yan is going to leave?!"

"The envoy decides." Xun Ying responded.

"Then..." Yue Kang naturally planned to find the nearest time. After he saw the eagle, he knew that His Majesty might have long been crazy about the beauty.If you can go back as soon as possible, I am afraid it will be a great achievement in His Majesty's heart.

"It won't be too late for the envoy to return to Qin in a few days. This time, the widow and Yan'er parted ways. I don't know when we will meet again. Naturally, we have to make good arrangements for her." Zhao Wang said, Yue Kang naturally couldn't insist anymore.

"What the father said is true." Xun Ying knew Zhao Wang's thoughts very well.King Zhao arranged for her to make her live better in Qin State.He arranged her well so that she would still think that Zhao Guo is true in another country.
