Zhangsun Wuji brought Li Si to pay his respects to Ying Zheng, which made him overjoyed.
Li Si took off his black robe and bowed to the ground.
" Sinful subject Li Si greets Your Majesty!"
"Li Si is willing to report all of Lu Buwei's schemes to His Majesty and cooperate with His Majesty to capture Lu Buwei and his henchmen!”
"I only beg Your Majesty to be merciful and forgive Li Si's crimes!”
Ever since Li Si heard of Lu Buwei's plan, he felt uneasy.
He knew that it was extremely dangerous for a minister to interfere in the battle for the throne. And Ying Zheng's recent performance made Li Si realize that there was more to this than meets the eye.
When Zhangsun Wuji came knocking on his door and saw such a peerless civil official, he was even more shocked, and finally understood how confident Ying Zheng was.
Therefore, Li Si did not hesitate to betray Lu Buwei and pledge his loyalty to Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng, who had been sitting on the throne, was instantly invigorated upon hearing Li Si's sincere words, and his eyes shone brightly.
He personally went forward and helped Li Si up. His expression was unusually friendly and he did not blame Li Si at all.
"Since Minister Li Si is willing to give up the dark and join the light to help me take down Lu Buwei, the past should be written off!”
"Not only are you not guilty, but you have also made great contributions!”
Ying Zheng praised Li Si without restraint, his expression unusually excited.
"Tell me, how far did Lu Buwei go in contacting Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao?”
Ying Zheng directly pointed out that Lu Buwei was secretly contacting Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao, which shocked Li Si so much that he almost lost his mind.
"It turns out that His Majesty already knew about Lu Buwei's plan!”
Li Si's body trembled as he rejoiced.
He was truly lucky to have abandoned the dark side and turned to the light at this critical moment. If Ying Zheng's plan had been triggered a few days later, Li Si would have been beaten into Lu Buwei's henchman, killed or demoted, and never put in an important position!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Li Si will definitely say everything and fully cooperate with the king's plan!”
……
After subduing Li Si, Ying Zheng immediately understood Lu Buwei's plan and how far he had progressed.
But Lu Buwei knew nothing about this.
That night, Lu Buwei personally set off to the bedroom of Jun Chengjiao's mother, the Imperial Concubine of Chang 'an, to carry out the final plot and prepare to launch a major event.
"Lu Buwei greets the Imperial Consort!"
Lu Buwei was dressed in black, and under the guidance of his trusted aide, he came before Consort Dowager.
Consort Dowager wasn't too old. She had a luxurious appearance and a deep aura.
"Prime Minister, are the arrangements in place?”
"This matter is of great importance. You can't make a mistake!”
Consort Dowager's eyes flashed with a dim light, but behind the dim light was endless excitement.
Once it was done, the Lord of Chang 'an would have a chance to ascend the throne, and he, the imperial concubine, could also become the empress dowager!
Lu Buwei's eyes were filled with confidence as he chuckled.
"Ying Zheng is only a child of about ten years old, how strong can he be?”
"As long as Lord Chang 'an returns to Xianyang with his troops, everything will be under control!”
Imperial Consort Dowager was overjoyed, and her lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Ying Zheng may be young, but we must not let him go!”
"As long as he's alive, he's a huge threat!”
"When my son returns to Xianyang, I will definitely kill him!”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei felt displeased.
It was true that he wanted to borrow Lord Chang 'an's identity and power, but he did not want to kill Ying Zheng.
Once Ying Zheng died, how could he possibly fight against the Lord of Chang 'an, who held the military power in his hands?
Only when the two sides fought would Ying Zheng have no choice but to seek help from him, his second father, for protection. Only then would he be able to secure the position of Prime Minister and control the power of Qin!
Of course, Lu Buwei would not tell Consort Dowager about it.
He nodded at Consort Dowager and bowed in agreement.
"According to the estimated distance, Lord Chang 'an can return to Xianyang tomorrow night and begin the operation!”
"As long as Lord Chang 'an returns to Xianyang, I will support him to replace Ying Zheng and ascend the throne!”
……
After the final agreement was made, Lu Buwei returned at night and informed all his subordinates to make the final preparations.
The morning of the second day was the Grand Court Meeting.
Lu Buwei was a little restless after breakfast.
"Lord Chang 'an can return tonight and launch a coup!”
"As expected, the more critical the moment, the harder it is to remain calm!”
Lu Buwei thought to himself. He took a few deep breaths and rode the carriage to the palace.
The sky was slightly bright. Countless officials of the Qin Country gathered outside Zhangtai Palace to wait for the morning court session.
Rumble!
As soon as the carriage of Prime Minister Lu Buwei arrived, countless of his followers went up to welcome him.
"The Prime Minister has arrived!"
"Greetings, Lord Prime Minister!"
Lu Buwei got off the carriage and greeted the crowd.
At this moment, the time for morning court had finally arrived, and Zhangtai Palace's doors were wide open.
A large group of court officials entered Zhangtai Palace with Lu Buwei in their arms. From the attitude of these officials, one could see how powerful Lu Buwei was.
Ying Zheng's tall and straight figure was sitting on the throne, looking down at the ministers with a dignified and solemn expression.
Under the lead of Prime Minister Lu Buwei, all the ministers knelt down and paid their respects.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Great Qin's civil and military officials lined up neatly and bowed as they loudly shouted, looking extremely solemn and mighty.
Even though Lu Buwei still had the final say in Great Qin, the officials did not dare to neglect the etiquette that a ruler should have.
Looking down at the kneeling ministers, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel extremely excited."The ministers bow their heads and hold power in their hands. This is the might of a king!”
"After today, I will completely control the royal court and become a true supreme ruler who can decide life and death!”
Ying Zheng did not say anything for a long time to get the ministers to stand up, and everyone was immediately puzzled.
Lu Buwei was shocked and raised his head abruptly.
He saw Ying Zheng's slightly excited expression and suddenly panicked, his mind in chaos.
"Not good!"
Lu Buwei sensed that something was wrong and was about to react, but it was too late.
"Deng!"
With a series of heavy and powerful footsteps, a large group of armored soldiers holding sharp blades flooded into the Zhangtai Palace.
The leader of the group was a handsome man with a long beard and a large saber in his hand.
Clang!
The snow-white Guan saber suddenly swung horizontally and landed on Lu Buwei's neck.
"The king has ordered it!"
"Prime Minister Lu Buwei colluded with Chang 'an's Jun Chengjiao. He has ill intentions and has the intention of rebelling!”
"I've been ordered to capture Lu Buwei and his henchmen!”
"If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy!”
