After Lady Zhao left, she returned to her palace.
Her expression was not as stupid as before. Instead, she looked dignified.
This was the woman who had protected Ying Zheng for so many years and helped him ascend to the throne step by step.
If he was really that stupid…
She couldn't be the empress dowager either, but whether it was her temperament or her methods, she was too weak.
"Empress Dowager." Gu Du came over." How is it? Did the king agree?"
Lady Zhao turned to look at Gu Du. This man was eight feet tall and handsome, but he had no beard.
His temperament was not bad either.
A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes." Zheng 'er has changed. He is extremely cold to me.”
Gu Du was shocked when he heard that. As far as he knew, Ying Zheng was obedient to Lady Zhao.
Moreover, he was only a fourteen-year-old child. What could he do if he did not agree?
"The King doesn't agree?" Doesn't he know who I am? I'm his fake father!"
Zhao Ji was used to hearing such arrogant words. This was also where she was stupid.
Empress Dowager Xuan knew that she was completely controlled by the man.
"So what? Zheng 'er doesn't even acknowledge me as his mother now.”
" But..." She thought for a moment and said,""It's not that Zheng 'er doesn't give me face. He asked me not to attend the court meeting today. It's very likely that he won't do Lu Buwei's matter and will replace you with Marquis Changxin.”
"In other words, I won't let you manage the country?" Gu Du rolled his eyes." That's good. As long as I can become the Marquis of Changxin, it doesn't matter if you manage the country or not."”
"In any case, even if we are to govern the country, we have to listen to that Lu Buwei.”
He was also an idiot. He was incompetent and ambitious.
Lu Buwei had been able to rise from a merchant to where he was today.
He could definitely dispel poison!
"Then I can only rely on you in the future.”Zhao Ji's watery eyes were filled with anticipation."However, I still have to inform Lu Buwei.”
"Naturally." "I'll go tell Lu Buwei right away." Gu Duxing laughed.”
Lu Buwei had recommended him to Lady Zhao.
Naturally, they were Lu Buwei's men.
However, he had great ambitions now. He wanted to become a marquis and surpass Lu Buwei.
"Lu Buwei wants to replace the Legalism school with the miscellaneous school. He even wants to be the most powerful official and push his own Dao to reach the realm of land immortals.”
"Dream on!"
"Shang Yang's Legalism would never allow him to do this!”
Gu Du knew all of Lu Buwei's plans." I can finally see Lu Buwei's defeated expression today."”
Thinking of this…
He didn't bother to comfort her. Instead, he said,"I'll go tell Lu Buwei this news now.”
"Alright." Zhao Ji nodded.
Immediately, Gu Du headed outside the palace gate.
At this moment, outside the palace gates.
Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, and other important officials were waiting for the court meeting.
This was the first court meeting after Ying Zheng ascended the throne.
Everyone knew how important it was.
"Minister Lyu." A eunuch whispered something into Lu Buwei's ear.
Lu Buwei frowned.
He did not expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly give up.
One had to know that Mistress Zhao and Lu Buwei had an affair, and it wasn't an affair.
Both sides could be considered allies.
Lu Buwei needed Lady Zhao and Ying Zheng to help them become the prime minister.
Zhao Ji also needed Lu Buwei to help her stabilize her position as the Empress Dowager and the throne.
What was the point of suddenly giving up this responsibility?!
Could it be that Concubine Zhao had other thoughts, or…
Suddenly.
Lu Buwei understood that this must be the problem with the Gu Poison.
Damn it!
Killing intent surged in his heart. If he hadn't wanted to escape from Lady Zhao, he wouldn't have sent the poison into the palace.
He didn't expect that a person who used to be like a mud leg would dare to go against him now!!!
However, how could he be willing?
Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Meng Ao, and the others all sensed Lu Buwei's emotional fluctuations.
Although they did not know the exact situation, they knew that they had definitely received some bad news.
Was it His Majesty?
Meng Ao lowered his gaze. After learning about the Emperor's current power and strength, he had decisively sided with the Emperor.
Originally, the Meng Clan was also loyal to His Majesty.
Now, he was just more determined.
Lu Buwei?
This former powerful minister might very well disappear today!
Even Shang Yang, this old fellow, would be suppressed.
His Majesty's hidden strength was too terrifying. The assassins on the Black Ice Platform had eight Profound Finger Masters and 22 Master Grandmasters.
What kind of strength was this?
Moreover, the number one merchant association in the world, Qin, was actually a force in the hands of His Majesty.
Lu Buwei's biggest foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, could be completely replaced even if it was destroyed.
Including himself.
His Majesty had ascended the throne yesterday, and today, he would be able to completely control Great Qin!
It was not even a dream to sweep across the six countries and unify the world.
Meng Ao's eyes flashed with a bright light, but it soon turned into a deep sigh.
However, he thought that he was the only one who knew.
Who knew that Shang Yang and Zhang Yi also knew about this matter.
Or rather, they had been subdued by Ying Zheng long ago.
After all, they were Ying Zheng's teachers.
To be honest, among all the important officials, only Lu Buwei, Lady Zhao, and the others didn't know about it.
"The court session begins…"
The bell rang, and the officials slowly entered the palace.
Today's court meeting might cause a change in Great Qin!!!
