At the manor of Marquis Wenxin.
Lao Ai really dares to speak!"
In the study room, Lu Buwei was reading the memorial in his hands. Veins were popping on his forehead.
"How dare you ask for Yongdu as your fief?”
"That's the Great Qin Ancestral Court!"
"Ridiculous!"
Yongdu was not only the old capital of Great Qin, but also the ancestral grave of the Great Qin royal family.
Ying Zheng's father, the late King Ying Yiren, was currently resting in the royal tomb of Yongdu.
How could a country give the royal family's ancestral tomb to outsiders as a fief?
The world's biggest joke!
Lu Buwei threw the bamboo slip into the brazier and burned it without hesitation.
But when Lu Buwei opened the next bamboo scroll, his expression changed.
This was because there was a line of small words written on the bamboo slip.
When I heard that Lao Ai had killed the traitor Ying Chengjiao and was granted the title of Marquis Changxin, I was very happy.
Since he was already a marquis, it was time to seal another territory.
I have lived in Yongdu for a long time. Marquis Changxin needs to serve me and is unable to deal with the fief.
I think that Yongdu can be granted the fief of Marquis Changxin, so that it can be the best of both worlds.
If Minister Lü does not agree, I will go to Xianyang in person and ask Minister Lü for an explanation.
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Buwei's forehead as he read the words.
Zhao Ji wanted to return to Xianyang to seek an explanation from him?
Was he asking for an explanation?
They were here to settle scores with him!
If Zhao Ji really returned to Xianyang for this matter, Lu Buwei would only have two options.
One, he would listen to Zhao Ji's wishes and let her squeeze him dry.
Secondly, he would reject Lady Zhao, and then Lady Zhao would reveal that Lu Buwei had taken advantage of Ying Zheng's young age to frequently enter and leave the palace to serve her.
The word 'death' was everywhere!
"This woman is a lunatic!”
Lu Buwei couldn't help but throw the bamboo slips on the ground and curse angrily.
"You threaten me with those things every day. Aren't you afraid that I'll risk my life to burn with you?!”
Before the curses could fade away, a burst of exclamations came from outside the study.
"Minister Lu!"
"Minister Lyu, bad news!"
Lu Buwei was still fuming. He looked at the door in dissatisfaction and shouted angrily.
"Why are you making such a fuss?"
"How can you be so flustered!"
A eunuch pushed open the door and entered, shouting repeatedly.
"The king has a son!"
"Empress Dowager Hua Yang was overjoyed when she heard the news and allowed the king to be crowned on this auspicious day.”
Lu Buwei suddenly stood up and looked at the eunuch in disbelief.
"The King actually has a son?"
"Empress Dowager Hua Yang actually relented?"
The impact of these two pieces of news on Lu Buwei was greater than the one before.
Once Ying Zheng was crowned, it would be difficult for Lu Buwei to control the Imperial Court for Ying Zheng as he always did.
"That's right," said the eunuch hurriedly.
"Empress Dowager Hua Yang's decree has already been sent to Fengchang, ordering Fengchang Zhao Tuo to divine the auspicious day to crown the king.”
Lu Buwei's mind raced as he waved his hand.
"Go and receive your reward."
After ordering the eunuchs to leave, Lu Buwei picked up the bamboo slip that Lady Zhao had given him.
"When the auspicious day will come can only be determined through Fengchang's divination.”
"With Great Qin's recent calamities, it shouldn't be a problem for it to not have a good day in a few years, right?”
"Unfortunately, Feng Chang is Lao Ai's man.”
After thinking for a while, Lu Buwei opened the bamboo slip and wrote the word 'quasi' on it.
Anyway, that was Ying Zheng's ancestral grave, not the Lu Family's ancestral grave.
The most important thing was to ask Lao Ai to send a message to Zhao Tuo to postpone the auspicious day and extend his reign.
As soon as he finished writing, the butler of the Lu residence gently pushed open the door and entered.
"Patriarch, just now, Vice Minister Li Si came to inform Patriarch that there will be a meeting at Qilin Hall tomorrow morning.”
Lu Buwei's eyes narrowed.”
"It's His Majesty," the butler said, slightly puzzled.”
"Your Majesty is holding a court meeting?" Lu Buwei asked with a playful smile.”
"He hasn't been crowned yet. He can only be crowned at another time, but it makes the king so restless?”
"Patriarch, why don't I tell Vice Minister Li that you are busy with government affairs and won't have time to attend the court meeting tomorrow?"”
"Once the Patriarch doesn't attend the court meeting, I believe that most of the officials won't attend.”
"At that time, Wang Shang will understand who has the final say in Great Qin!”
"The so-called being able to take power after being crowned is just the king's wishful thinking.”
"No." Lu Buwei shook his head with a smile.”
"This minister wants to see why the king wants to hold a court meeting.”
"Pass down the order. All the civil and military officials must attend the court tomorrow.”
"Didn't Your Majesty want to hold a court meeting?”
"Then this prime minister will help the king and directly convene the Grand Court Meeting!”
Great Qin was not like the later dynasties, which required all the officials to wake up early every day and go to court in the cold wind.
The Great Qin Dynasty Hall only held court meetings every day. Only the King of Qin and the three dukes and nine ministers participated. The three dukes and nine ministers would then convey the King of Qin's spirit.
Unless there was an extremely important event such as the ascension of the throne, war, or natural disasters, a grand court meeting would be held and all the civil and military officials would attend the court together.
The butler smiled and cupped his hands.”
"Tomorrow, His Majesty's expression will definitely be very good.”
"That expression of his should be seen by all the civil and military officials in the court.”
At the same time.
On the muddy trade road, a group of travel-worn knights were galloping on their horses. All the knights had wounds on their bodies.
Li Gan gulped down a mouthful of water and asked while panting,""Child, can you still hold on?"
Behind Li Gan, a half-grown child endured the pain in his body and nodded hard.
"I, I can do it!"
Li Gan shouted.
"Hurry up! We must reach Xianyang City before the city gates open tomorrow!”
