It was said that in ancient times, there were ten suns in the sky, causing mountains and rivers to collapse, the world to dry up, and the people to live in misery!
It was Great Shaman Hou Yi who shot down nine suns, restoring order to the world!
But this time, the two suns were suspended in the sky, and everyone was in a state of panic.
Just as the citizens of Xianyang City were panicking, the three thousand palace guards had already closed in on Xianyang.
"The king has arrived!"
" Get out of the way immediately! Open the city gates…"
Soon, a scout arrived first, holding Ying Zheng's warrant and knocking on the city gate.
When the soldiers guarding the city heard that the king had actually returned, they did not dare to be negligent when they saw the three thousand palace guards rushing over aggressively. They hurriedly ordered people to open the city gates.
Ta!
Xianyang City was wide open, and no one dared to stop it.
Three thousand elite cavalry entered in a single file!
"Huo Qubing!"
Ying Zheng rode his horse and led his army into the city.
"Your subject is here!"
Huo Qubing immediately shouted.
"I order you to lead 1,000 elite cavalry to surround the Prime Minister's residence and imprison Lu Buwei!”
"Yes!"
Huo Qubing loudly accepted the order.
Soon, a thousand cavalrymen were divided from the three thousand elite cavalry and rushed toward the Prime Minister's Residence.
"Meng Tian, Meng Yi!"
Ying Zheng spoke again.
"Your subject is here!"
Meng Tian and Meng Yi quickly rode forward.
"I order the two of you to lead five hundred Forest Guards each to capture those who have a close relationship with Lao Ai, as well as Lu Buwei's trusted subordinates!”
"Imprison them all and guard them strictly!”
Ying Zheng's expression was cold as he sat on his warhorse, looking like a divine emperor who was high up in the nine heavens, controlling all living beings.
"Yes!"
Immediately, Meng Tian and Meng Yi received the order and each led 500 elite cavalry of the palace guards to disperse to other places in Xianyang City.
After sending out two thousand elite cavalrymen, Ying Zheng turned his horse around, with Eunuch Sunflower following closely behind him.
"Return to Xianyang Palace!"
……
In Xianyang City, the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere.
"Prime Minister, bad news, bad news!”
In Lu Buwei's mansion, Zheng Huo, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's mansion, scrambled up to the pavilion where Lu Buwei usually worked.
"How can you be so flustered?"
In the attic, Lu Buwei was discussing political affairs with the High Official Yao Jia and Little Gan Luo when Zheng Huo suddenly barged in, causing Lu Buwei to frown.
Lu Buwei was dissatisfied. This Zheng Huo had been with him for so many years, yet he still acted so irrationally. Lu Buwei even had the thought of finding a chance to replace this steward.
However, Zheng Huo could not wait any longer.
"Prime Minister, something really bad has happened!”
"Outside the residence, there is a young general outside the residence. He has led an army to surround the Prime Minister's residence!”
"He even said that he was ordered by the king to capture you, Prime Minister…"
……
What was that?
The king ordered me to be arrested?
Bada!
Lu Buwei felt like he had been struck by lightning, and the bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground.
Under the king's orders!
These three words struck Lu Buwei like a heavy blow!
He had been extremely loyal to Great Qin over the years and had given everything he had to Great Qin.
But now, Ying Zheng had sent his troops to imprison him!
Lu Buwei was a wily old fox, skilled in political struggles, so how could he not understand that this was clearly Ying Zheng's intention to rule the country himself!
However, the last will of the former king was still there, and Ying Zheng could only rule when he was an adult!
Lu Buwei couldn't understand why Ying Zheng dared to risk universal condemnation and put him in prison in order to take over the government in advance!
Was he trying to frame him?
"What is it? Your Majesty actually wants to capture the Prime Minister?"
"What should we do?"
In the pavilion, High Official Yao Jia and Gan Luo were both shocked and at a loss.
Little Gan Luo had joined Lu Buwei's side and become a hanger-on of the Prime Minister's Residence. This was a well-known fact. As for the High Official Yao Jia, he had been in power with Lu Buwei for many years. They were from the same faction. If Lu Buwei, this big tree, fell, there was no reason for Yao Jia and Gan Luo to be spared!
"Prime Minister, please think of a way!”
" The guests in the manor are still trying their best to stop them, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold them off for long before the cavalrymen break in…"
Zheng Huo was so anxious that he was about to cry.
High Official Yao Jia and Little Gan Luo were also looking at Lu Buwei anxiously, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Where did the army outside the residence come from?"
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice. He suddenly realized that sending Ying Zheng to the Lantian camp was like trapping himself in a cocoon!
"Reporting to Prime Minister, the army outside the residence calls themselves the palace guards. I heard that they just returned from Yong City!”
" According to the news from my henchmen, a group of people had invaded Lao Ai's house, leaving no one alive. All of them were executed on the spot…"
……
What was that?
Yong City?
嫪毐？
Lu Buwei felt his head buzz, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Haha, hahahaha…"
"I see! I see…"
Lu Buwei smiled bitterly, feeling a strong bitterness in his heart.
At this moment, he understood everything!
No wonder Ying Zheng would send troops to capture him when he was at the peak of his power. With what happened in Yong City, he would definitely be implicated...
"As expected, what should come will come!”
Lu Buwei raised his head and looked through the window at the two suns in the sky. He felt disheartened.
"Zheng Huo, order the people in the residence to give up resisting!”
"I'll go with them…"
