"Hualala!"
"It's windy."
In a magnificent building, an old man was staggering under the eaves and taking down the lantern with the word 'Qin' engraved on it.
This was the Imperial Residence, the home of the Great Qin General's family, the Meng family.
The old man, the ancestor of the Meng family's revival, was the old general Meng Ao. He sat on a chair and looked at the gradually dimming lights in the distance. Then, he looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
"The weather is about to change."
As expected, not long after Meng Ao finished speaking, thunder sounded from the sky, followed by a drizzle.
In the distance, the celebration gradually ended. The lights in Xianyang City were extinguished one by one. The people who had celebrated the last day returned to their rooms.
The drizzle didn't seem big, but it was clearly going to continue.
"I'm old after all. It's time to hand it over to Meng Wu and his two little brats."
Meng Ao was about to fall asleep in a daze when two tall figures appeared beside the old man and put a piece of clothing on him.
"Grandpa, don't catch a cold. It's May now. It's not the time for it to be completely warm yet.”
The old man raised his head and saw Meng Tian and Meng Yi smiling warmly.
The two of them each held an oil-paper umbrella and handed Meng Ao a heater. They walked into the rain and pushed open the door.
"Hmm? Where are you two going?" Meng Ao was puzzled.
"Haha, I have something to do. I'll be back soon!”Meng Tian replied with a bright smile.
"Be careful." Meng Ao nodded. He was not worried. Although these two were only in their teens, they already had the demeanor of generals. Their martial arts were strong, so he really did not have to worry about their safety.
"I know! Grandpa! See you later!"
..............
The drizzle soon drenched the ground.
The Prime Minister's Residence.
The lights were bright.
In the largest mansion, Lu Buwei was sitting in his study. Beside him was none other than Concubine Zhao, who had become the Empress Dowager, and several middle-aged men who were his trusted aides.
"Have you prepared everything for tomorrow?”Lu Buwei asked in a deep voice.
These people nodded and clenched their fists tightly. It was difficult to hide the excitement in their eyes.
Forcing the King of Qin to hand over his power!
Although it was very dangerous, once this kind of thing succeeded, they would no longer have to worry about glory and wealth for the rest of their lives. All kinds of power would be at their fingertips!
In the officialdom, what could be more tempting than this?!
Seeing them like this, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji looked at each other and smiled.
"Don't worry, the King of Qin is still young and can be the Empress Dowager's representative. I'm sure many people can understand this.”Lu Buwei said.
"Minister is right. I heard that you have been looking for a way out for your descendants recently? Shangyang and Taiyuan were not bad places. These two places were one of the best cities besides Xianyang.”Zhao Ji also smiled and nodded.
This was already a clear reminder. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stood up respectfully.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your promotion!"
Lu Buwei smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down. Then, he began to explain the details.
By tomorrow, he would be able to seize Ying Zheng's power.
Although you have the title of King Qin, so what? What capital do you have to fight me?
Seizing power and changing the world is just a matter of my hands!
Just as he was thinking about this, a servant suddenly walked over and whispered in his ear.
Stunned, Lu Buwei frowned and walked out in the end.
Outside was a eunuch who had been waiting for a long time.
He had been waiting in the rain for too long and was already drenched.
Seeing Lu Buwei come out, the eunuch hurriedly went up to him. He was not displeased at all, but instead wore a fawning smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Minister! The king has decreed that the coronation ceremony is about to end. The king deeply feels that the contributions of the Minister will not be lost. He has already set up a banquet to invite the Minister to the palace to discuss state affairs!”
..................
At the same time that Lu Buwei received the invitation, in a distant palace.
Lady Huayang was also discussing something with Lord Quanyang.
Although Madam Hua Yang was Ying Zheng's grandmother in name, she was actually not very old, only around fifty years old. In addition, she had taken good care of herself, so she did not look too old.
On the contrary, her younger brother, Lord Quanyang, was also around 50 years old and looked older.
Madam Hua Yang stood in front of the window, her long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed. Looking at the dark sky outside, she suddenly spoke.
"Quanyang, we can't delay any longer. I have a feeling that Lu Buwei will make a move soon.”
Lord Quanyang frowned. The King of Qin has just ascended the throne. If anything happens now, it will not be worth it. Why don't we wait a few more days?”
Madam Hua Yang shook her head, her eyes shining. She felt uneasy and said in a deep voice,"" It's not the same. Lu Buwei even dared to make a move during the coronation ceremony, which shows how bold he is. All along, we've been too conservative and didn't dare to be radical. That's why he and Lady Zhao have gradually become more powerful.”
" Besides, the person who was sent to Ying Zheng's palace to spy on him a few days ago still hasn't come back. He is an expert, and I suspect that Lu Buwei has noticed something." Thus, they intercepted it…"
"If it was really Lu Buwei who stopped them, and everything was just Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei putting on a show for us, then it would be terrible.”
Lord Quanyang was shocked." It can't be, right? How could the two of them join forces…"
Speaking up to this point, Lord Quanyang's face darkened. He suddenly remembered that Lu Buwei had gone to Ying Zheng's place the night before he ascended the throne!
"We have to be careful. Since that's the case, should we take action as soon as possible?”
"Let's move early!"
Just as Madam Huayang and Lord Quanyang were about to take action.
The door suddenly rang. A servant came in and whispered something.
Lord Quanyang frowned and walked out.
In the rain, a eunuch with a flattering expression stood. When he saw Quanyang Jun walking over, he quickly went up to him.
"Congratulations, my lord. The king has decreed that the coronation ceremony is about to end. The king deeply feels that my lord's contributions will not be forgotten. He has already set up a banquet to invite my lord Quanyang to the palace to discuss state affairs!”
.............
That night.
Not only Quanyang Jun, but also Lu Buwei, Lady Zhao, and Lady Hua Yang received the invitation.
Dozens of Great Qin's top officials and nobles frowned as they opened the door.
He saw the eunuch who was standing in the heavy rain and fawning over him.
Not long after, they set off.
With a suspicious attitude.
He slowly walked into the palace!
