Guard of His Majesty the First Emperor

Standing in front of Zhao Ji, looking at the gauze curtain between Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng felt that he was a bit of a loser.

It's just that Zhao Ji didn't give Ying Zheng time to be dazed, and asked, "Why is Zheng'er free to come to my mother's place today?"

Although Zhao Ji said this to Ying Zheng, she looked at Lu Buwei, which meant something.

Ying Zheng was not annoyed, and said: "Xiangbang has always claimed that he was ill and did not go to the court. The widow sent someone to invite him several times but he did not invite him. The queen mother invited Xiangbang here with one sentence. The son wanted to come to ask for advice."

"The queen mother didn't say anything else, and she also heard about Xiangbang's recent events, so she specially called him over to beat him up." Zhao Ji said.

The two of them were talking, and Zhao Ji seemed to have just seen the person behind Ying Zheng: "Zheng'er, mother, the person who followed you is the one who hurt Xiangbang, right? How dare you keep this kind of person in yourself By your side, what if one day he goes crazy and hurts you again?"

At the beginning, Yingzheng insisted on keeping Arthur. The reason was that Arthur was sick. It was not intentional. He also found a few people who looked and acted strangely, saying that they used witchcraft to distract Arthur for a while. heart orifice.Although few people believed these words, and no one saw with their own eyes how those so-called witchcraft people were dealt with, but it was the king's order, and no one dared to mention it again.Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji actually spoke up again.

Everyone knows it well, Zhao Ji's question is undoubtedly creating a problem for Ying Zheng.Arthur naturally did not understand this truth, but he still couldn't speak.He is not Ying Zheng, if he says too much, he is wrong.He himself didn't mind being punished, but he didn't want to embarrass Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this, Arthur was not impulsive, and he didn't kneel on the ground and say something like "It's all the minister's fault, the king should punish the minister".Otherwise, Ying Zheng really didn't know what to do.

"Queen mother, the past is over. Arthur has meritorious service, and the widow has already said that he will be given a high position and rich salary. Now because of Xiangbang's affairs, the widow has dismissed him from the post of Wei Wei. Is it really necessary? Can it kill him?"

Zhao Ji was just talking casually, but now she was really annoyed when Ying Zheng refuted her like this, and said, "Why, Xiangbang is the pillar of Qin, shouldn't Zheng'er let him die?"

"Mother!" Ying Zheng yelled, "The widow has already said that he has the grace to save my life. Could it be that in the heart of the mother, the life of the widow is not as good as Xiangbang?"

"You—" Zhao Ji was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing that the mother and son were about to fall out again, Lu Buwei got up quickly: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please stop arguing. The old minister is fine, and the old minister is also very satisfied with the king's judgment."

"Xiangbang was joking. The widow and the queen mother are talking calmly. How can it be a quarrel?" Ying Zheng said, "You, Xiangbang, can also enter the palace. Will you come or not in the morning tomorrow?"

"This—the minister will naturally go."

"Then will the minister who went on strike with Xiangbang come?"

"Your Majesty's words, do you think that the old officials won't let them come?"

"Why does Xiangbang think so? The widow just said that Xiangbang came here even if he was ill. Why don't they come again? Don't you think so?"

"It's natural. As long as there are no major events, it really shouldn't delay the court."

......

"Xia Wuju, just now you can see clearly, who is standing beside the queen mother?" Ying Zheng asked impatiently as soon as he stepped out of the queen mother's palace gate.

Xia Wuju nodded and said: "I see clearly, there is nothing wrong with it. As a man, he doesn't have the characteristics of a man. It's okay to be an eunuch. Don't be angry about this, Your Majesty."

"The widow is not angry, but—"

"Just what?" He only heard half of the words, Xia Wuju still wanted to know the next words.

"It's nothing." Ying Zheng obviously didn't want to say anything, "Arthur, you did a good job today."

"..." What did I do?

"..." Your Majesty is biased, he obviously didn't do anything.

Ying Zheng didn't care about the faces of the two of them, and went on to say: "Whatever happens in the future, don't speak until I tell you to speak, so as not to fall into the eyes of those who want to accuse you."

"No!" The two replied in unison.

"That's it." Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and walked forward at a faster pace.

The two of them just lowered their heads and listened to the admonition. By the time they realized something was wrong, Ying Zheng had already left them behind by a large margin.They had no choice but to trot and follow.To be exact, Xia Wuju was the only one jogging, because Arthur was tall and big, so he could just take a step, poor Xia Wuju.

"My lord, you should wait for my minister."

"Who told you to walk so slowly? Do you think that I have nothing to do like you?" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "If you follow the battlefield in the future, how can you be so slow and delay the military plane?"

"Going to the battlefield? Why did the king go to such a dangerous place?" Xia Wuju asked in puzzlement.

Although Arthur was silent at the side, the way he looked at Ying Zheng was obviously wrong.

Ying Zheng let out a long breath before saying: "Almost every word Lu Buwei said I don't want to listen to, but there is one sentence I still firmly believe in." It is absolutely impossible for this world to be divided like this forever. To see a more beautiful scenery, we must unite the world'. The widow wants to be the person who unites."

"The king will definitely do it." Arthur said immediately, he believed that Ying Zheng could do it, not only because he wanted to, but also because he had the ability.

Xia Wuju also said: "Although it is difficult, the king can definitely do it. What's more, the king has so many capable people in his hands."

"But the widow is still not capable of doing what the widow wants to do." Ying Zheng said, "Lu Buwei is too old and too restrained. Maybe this is God's will, let the widow accomplish all this in the future."

"I don't know when Xiangbang will realize that he is old, and when he will hand over power to the king."

"Maybe he is waiting for the widow to compromise. But this matter, the widow does not want to compromise." Ying Zheng said.

"what's up?"

"The widow will tell you later," Ying Zheng said.

......

Ying Zheng guessed right, Lu Buwei is indeed old, this not only means that he is old, but also means that he is not as courageous as before.

"I know that you haven't gone to court these days." Lu Buwei stood in front of a few of his disciples, "I know that you are for this old man, but this old man is just a servant of the king, you really shouldn't do this."

Several people were silent for a long time, and one of them boldly said: "Xiangbang, we are all the king's courtiers, but Xiangbang has kindness to us, how can we be ungrateful?"

"What is ungrateful? Don't you forget that your salary is given by the king, not by the old man." Lu Buwei said, "Don't let people listen to your words. What will happen to the king's ears."

Li Si stood up at this time and said: "Xiangbang is right, this matter is over. If we continue, we will just make things difficult for Xiangbang."

Lu Buwei nodded and said: "This Daqin will eventually be in the hands of the king. I am old and dare not do too many things. I always want to let the king shoulder important responsibilities, but it is a pity that he Haven't married yet. If you want to start a career, you must first start a family, even if he is the king. It's a pity that the king doesn't want to."

Li Si said: "It turns out that Xiangbang is worried about this kind of thing? Is it okay to talk to the queen mother? The king will still listen to what the queen mother says."

"That's not necessarily the case." Lu Buwei shook his head and said, "No one can explain the reason for Sang Ying's sudden death in the palace. The old man suspects that the king thought that Sang Ying was the queen mother's person, so he didn't treat her well."

"Then it will be troublesome. There are no women of the right age in the palace. How can you choose someone to enter without the Queen Mother's hand?"

"That's why I'm worried." Lu Buwei said to Li Si, "You always have a lot of ideas, so you help me think about it."

"promise!"

......

It didn't take long for these words to reach Ying Zheng's ears.

"My lord, why don't you consider choosing a queen, so Xiangbang has no reason to withhold your power." Xia Wuju persuaded.

"Did you really believe what he said? Did Lu Buwei trust others so easily? How could he say such things to Li Si? Wasn't it for testing?"

Xia Wuju also wanted to say: "But since Xiangbang is so tempting, maybe it is really intentional?"

Ying Zheng looked at Arthur who was on the side, and asked, "Arthur, do you think the widow should find a queen?"

"This—I don't know." Arthur hesitated, "It's just the king. I feel that no matter whether Xiangbang is intentional or not, he is threatening the king by saying these words. If the king wants to achieve great things, he must not be small. being threatened."

"Xia Wuju, the widow thinks what Arthur said is very reasonable, what if the widow just doesn't want to compromise?"

"It's because I haven't thought carefully enough." Xia Wuju obediently admitted his mistake.

Xia Wuju lowered his head, but his face was very dignified, and his relaxed tone was completely different from his.No one knew what he was thinking.

"Okay, don't think too much about these things, I just don't know how to respond." Ying Zheng said, "One day, the widow really wants to marry the queen, and that person must be the widow himself."

"..." Xia Wuju raised his head and glanced at Arthur, then lowered his head.

"Xia Wuju, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Xia Wuju lowered his head again, "I was just thinking about how unparalleled a woman would be if the king favored her."

"Why, is this the one who likes beautiful women so much? You are so superficial in your heart?" Ying Zheng said this with a smile, which shows that he didn't take it to heart.

"Of course not." Xia Wuju also laughed, "How dare I think so?"

"But the widow is not in a hurry to find the queen, so you don't have to be with the widow. After all, you should say kiss, or the widow will help you find someone?"

"Your Majesty, don't tease me, I'm a few months younger than your Majesty!"

Smiling and making a fuss, even if I said so on the surface.But no one knows whether he has passed or not in his heart.
