Empress Dowager Zhao Ji!
The Emperor's voice lingered in the hall for a long time, spreading out of the hall and into the ears of every minister.
The air was quiet.
His Highness's officials were stunned, and Lu Buwei was also dazed.
It was so sudden and unexpected.
Ying Zheng's announcement caught them completely off guard, and they had never expected that the King of Great Qin would become sworn brothers with someone with a different surname, and would even be conferred the title of King of Qin.
here.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness.
Lu Buwei came back to his senses, sized up Ying Zheng, and said in his heart," What exactly was Ying Zheng trying to do, and who was this Xiao Qing?
No matter what, Lu Buwei felt that this was a conspiracy.
He took a step forward.
" Your Majesty, how can you be so reckless?" Lu Buwei said sternly." It's already ridiculous to become sworn brothers with some people with different surnames."”
"Now, you actually want to go against the ancestral teachings and become a king with a different surname? How ridiculous! Where do you place Great Qin's dignity? How do you want the six countries to view Great Qin?”
"This subject will never agree to such an absurd matter. This subject believes that the civil and military officials will not agree either.”
Lu Buwei spoke righteously, as if he was really doing this for the Great Qin Empire and believed that he could still control the world with one hand.
"That's right, that's right ~ This is simply nonsense.”
"A different surname must not become king. Please retract your order.”
"Your Majesty is muddle-headed. Please retract your orders.”
.......
Many of Lu Buwei's henchmen stood out to remonstrate.
Ying Zheng glanced at these people expressionlessly. His eyes were like cold swords, and his face was as cold as ice.
He spoke slowly.
"I am the King of Great Qin. Are you questioning my decision?”
Killing intent!
An extremely terrifying atmosphere instantly enveloped the hall, and everyone immediately fell silent out of fear.
When Wang Jian and Meng Tian saw this, they immediately knelt on one knee and said in unison,""We will listen to your orders. In the future, Your Highness Xiao Qing will be the King of Great Qin.”
Lu Buwei:
Dumbfounded, he glared at Meng Tian and Wang Jian.
"We will listen to your orders!"
"We will obey your orders ~"
.......
Thanks to Wang Jian and Meng Tian's manipulation, all the people who remained neutral soon obeyed the order. After all, Ying Zheng was the King of Great Qin, while Lu Buwei was only a powerful official.
Wang Ling was like a mountain.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng no longer paid attention to Lu Buwei, but looked at Meng Tian.
"Meng Tian."
"Your subject is here!"
Meng Tian took a step forward.
"I'm sending you to Qingshui City at the border of Han and Wei. I've promised my second brother that he will guard the border.”
Meng Tian's eyes sparkled. She understood the King of Qin's intention and agreed without hesitation.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
"You may leave."
Meng Tian responded and walked down the hall. She exchanged glances with Wang Jian.
The hall was silent. Lu Buwei had also calmed down.
"Do you have anything else to report?"
Seeing the calm expression on Lu Buwei's face, Ying Zheng knew that he was already making a plan.
Everything is as my brother said, Lu Buwei has already set a trap for you.
Ying Zheng's expression did not change, but he had the intention to swallow the sea.
The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Da ~"
Footsteps sounded.
Lu Buwei stepped forward again and asked,""Your Majesty, since you want to confer the title of King of a different surname, it would be unreasonable not to confer it grandly. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager doesn't know either.”
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said," Don't worry, Prime Minister. My second brother has something important to do. He will return to Xianyang at the end of the year. When that time comes, he will make an oath against the heavens and pay his respects to the former king."”
"As for mother, you don't have to worry about it. I will tell her later. I believe mother will like a Saint Child like second brother.”
The moment Ying Zheng thought of this, his killing intent overflowed. How could he not know about the matter between Lu Buwei and Lady Zhao? If Lady Zhao was not his biological mother, he would have died ten thousand times over.
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Lu Buwei knew that this King with a different surname obviously existed.
He left the hall with a gloomy expression.
At this moment.
Empress Dowager Zhao Ji's bedroom.
The smoke curled up and a strange fragrance filled the bedroom, intoxicating both men and women.
Below the palace.
A palace maid was kneeling on the ground and reporting to her, and she was telling Lady Zhao, who was teasing the palace maid behind the red gauze curtain, exactly what Ying Zheng had said.
"Zheng 'er actually became sworn brothers with a youth called Xiao Qing and conferred him the title of King of Great Qin?”
Zhao Ji stopped what she was doing. Her voice was filled with doubt, as if she had heard wrongly.
"Yes, Empress Dowager."
The palace maid nodded and said with certainty.
......
The air quieted down.
"Empress Dowager, do you want to see the king?”
The palace maid asked carefully.
When Zhao Ji heard this, her eyes were filled with guilt. She sighed and said,"It's better not to go. I don't know how the Empress Dowager is."
Zhao Ji did not continue. She knew very well that she did not have the face to face her son.
The air fell silent.
At this moment, a palace maid's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the King is here."
When Zhao Ji heard this, her expression became happy. She glanced at the palace maid and said,"You guys can leave first."
"Yes, sir!"
All the palace maids immediately left.
Concubine Zhao faced the bronze mirror and tidied up her appearance.
Very quickly.
Ying Zheng arrived in front of his bedroom.
"Mother, your son is here."
The way Ying Zheng addressed her as 'mother' was not as cold as before, but rather, very gentle.
"Is that Zheng 'er? Come in quickly. There's a cold wind outside, be careful not to get frozen.”
Ying Zheng pushed open the door and walked in, facing the woman standing in the hall.
She was tall and had a seductive look between her eyebrows. She was extremely beautiful, and there were traces of wrinkles at the corners of her seductive eyes. However, it did not affect her beauty at all. Her gorgeous and noble red clothes made her even more charming.
"How is mother's health recently?"
It was this beautiful woman in front of him that made Ying Zheng unable to hate her. Because of her, he was born, and because of her, Lu Buwei's power was so great that he could dominate the entire court.
"En, mother is fine."
Lady Zhao looked at Ying Zheng gently.
"That's good. I believe mother should have heard.”
Ying Zheng said expressionlessly.
Zhao Ji nodded.
"I heard that Zheng 'er's matter is quite ridiculous. Becoming a king with a different surname is really a lesson for the previous kings. Mother hopes that you can think twice before acting.”
From his words, it was obvious that he did not agree with Ying Zheng's decision.
Ying Zheng threw a cold glance at Lady Zhao and said,""Your son has his own plans. In addition, I am the king of Great Qin.”
Ying Zheng gave Lady Zhao a warning look.
Zhao Ji nodded and said,"Mother understands. She will not act as regent, nor will she stop the king from making a decision.”
