"Now? Lu Buwei repeated the word, then frowned deeply.

"Yes, King Qin's coronation ceremony is your chance." Sikong Ma said.

Lu Buwei asked: "What chance do I have? I can hardly even be his guest."

Sikong Ma pointed to Xixi, "There are people who can't sit still more than you."

West...Yong City?

Lu Buwei asked suspiciously: "You mean Lao Ai? But he is favored by the Queen Mother and has a great reputation, why can't he sit still?"

Sikongma replied: "Now that I've come to think of it, that Lai Ai is clearly a pawn used by the King of Qin to control you. If the King of Qin is really the kind of person you and I think, how can you not see the tricks in Lai Ai? Even if he I really didn't realize that there was Ye Changli next to him who had been wronged by Lao Ai. Ye Changli was able to play the Chu country around and made him a Marquis at a weak age of more than 20 years old, I'm afraid he has already seen through it."

The matter of Lao Ai was closely connected with Lu Buwei, he was startled, his old face was already full of wrinkles.

Sikong Ma continued, "The empress dowager was unwell and moved to the palace in a hurry, and Yongcheng should obey the orders of Lai Ai. I think Lai Ai's swelling is not the same as before. Many palace servants."

Lu Buwei is also a human being, he immediately understood the meaning of Sikong Ma's words, and was surprised by the boldness of these two people for a while, "The dignified Queen Mother, unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Sikong Ma said: "Now the Empress Dowager is just a thing in the hands of Lai Ai. If you get it, you can summon wind and rain and enjoy supreme glory. Lai Ai has no merits, but she dares to humiliate the queen mother. I am afraid that the King of Qin has already planned to get rid of her." .Maybe even the Empress Dowager...is the King of Qin..."

Lu Buwei was even more at a loss when he heard this, "Since that's the case, why do you say that the opportunity lies with Lai Ai?"

"Because Lai Ai has the Empress Dowager Seal in her hand." Sikong Ma said slowly.

Lu Buwei's face changed drastically, he got up and said angrily, "You actually want to..."

Sikong Ma said calmly: "King Qin can't tolerate you, and I'm doing it for your sake. As long as you reveal to that villain that King Qin knew about Lai Ai's identity and planned to get rid of him, he will definitely treat the Queen Mother as the queen mother in a panic. Xi made chaos. The Empress Dowager has thousands of personal guards, and now that all personnel in Yongcheng can be transferred by Taixi, King Qin's position in Yongcheng is like being caught in a sea of ​​swords and flames."

But Lu Buwei looked at him with blazing eyes and asked: "Doesn't this mean that I want to bear the name of stealing and treason like Lord Chunshen, and then be accused by thousands of people and scolded by future generations?"

He attaches great importance to his reputation in history, otherwise he would not compare himself to the Four Gentlemen, let alone come up with "Lu Shi Chun Qiu".

Sikong didn't change his face and said: "It's Lai Ai who caused the rebellion, what has it to do with you? You can wait until the king of Qin is killed..." He made a false cross on the neck, "Then you will continue to be your prime minister after the rebellion is put down, If you want to be the new king, you still need to rely on you a lot."

Sikong Ma knew that Lu Buwei had no intention of usurping the throne, so he didn't propose it.

This time Lu Buwei was really moved. He thought of his own status when King Qin Zhuangxiang and Ying Zheng had just succeeded to the throne, and also thought of the huge tribe and followers behind him, his eyes flickered.

The day of the crown ceremony is getting closer, and Yongcheng is also bustling. Now Lao Ai can no longer be as unscrupulous as before, and can only go back to the palace where the queen mother is. Fortunately, he can do whatever he wants here.

At this time, a doorman invited him to see him, and Lao Ai dealt with it impatiently, but after hearing his words, his expression changed, and finally, he went to find the queen mother in fear.

On this day, Ye Yu went to report the situation in the city to Ying Zheng as usual, but saw Xu Fu coming out of it.

Xu Fu seemed to have something else to do, as if he just said hello and left, but Ye Yu felt an inexplicable bad feeling, and stared at his back for a long time.

Could it be that they are tossing about the elixir now?Ye Yu thought about it, but he didn't see that Ying Zheng had any idea of ​​immortality now.

When Ye Yu walked in, after saluting, Ying Zheng asked, "Do you know Xu Qing?" Ye Yu didn't come in for a while after the waiter's name was called, so he asked this question.

"We have met a few times." Ye Yu briefly described how the two met, and then said: "I just heard that he was busy with the king's coronation ceremony in Yongcheng, but I didn't expect that he was still in Xianyang."

"I was going to talk to you about this." Ying Zheng also showed a serious expression.

As soon as Ye Yu saw his reaction, he knew that something had happened, and he muttered in his heart: Could it be that Lai Ai still wants to rebel at this time?

Now that Yingzheng is holding the coronation ceremony at a normal time, Lai Ai is not deeply rooted in Yongcheng, her influence is not enough to be feared, and there is no such thing as a "false father", so there is no need for Lai Ai to jump over the wall in a hurry.

But then he thought again, maybe Xu Fu was the one who came to report on the "false father", right?

In fact, he guessed it half right, and only heard Ying Zheng say with a little anger: "Xu Qing noticed that Lai Ai was a little restless, and came to report to the widow after checking with Feng Chang."

Ye Yu's expression froze, and he said, "It seems strange that he is acting at this moment."

Ying Zheng asked along, "Where is the strangeness?"

Ye Yu replied: "First, it's too late. At this time, Fengchang Temple is being arranged in Yongcheng. Isn't it easy for him to be discovered? The second is the motive. Your majesty's crown ceremony and personal administration should not be too different from him." The big disadvantage, why is he restless?"

While thinking, Ying Zheng said, "He acted hastily, maybe... he found something wrong?"

Could it be that the queen mother had a miscarriage?But that's not the case.

Ye Yu and Ying Zheng were thinking together, thinking about various possibilities in their minds. Suddenly, the two looked at each other and said in unison: "Mr. Lu!"

Lai Ai should not easily discover Yingzheng's plan. From his point of view, it is naturally in his interest that the Queen Mother Zhao's son seize power from Lu Buwei, unless he thinks that Yingzheng will be detrimental to him if he takes office, and it must be His life was endangered, otherwise he would not jump over the wall in a hurry, after all, he still has the gold medal of the Queen Mother Zhao.

He would think so, it is impossible for him to make it up in his idle mind, someone must have said something to him, and this person, only the biggest beneficiary of his success - Lu Buwei is the most suspicious.

"You tell Li Si to pay attention to Lu Xiang's situation, and then ask Yao Jia to find out what Lai Ai is doing recently, and prepare another [-] elite soldiers to ambush Yongcheng." Ying Zheng quickly ordered.Although his tone was flat, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Since it is called elite soldiers, it is the real deal, and the quantity and quality are absolutely undiluted.

Ye Yu followed his instructions, and both he and Ying Zheng felt that with Li Si around, Lu Buwei's movements should not be hidden from them, but this was not the case.

"Ms. Lu is not unusual recently, and so are his servants and servants." Li Si knew that his answer would not satisfy people, but what he said was the truth.

Ying Zheng was really dissatisfied, but he didn't get angry, because he still believed in Li Si's ability. Since Li Si couldn't even find out, maybe there was nothing unusual?

He and Ye Yu looked at each other, and they were unwilling to admit this, because Lu Buwei's suspicion was too great, and they couldn't think of other suspicious people for a while.

Ye Yu thought for a moment, then said, "I think the biggest anomaly is that Prime Minister Lu hasn't moved."

All the smart people present understood what he meant immediately.

That's right, even if Lu Buwei didn't know that Ying Zheng was going to deal with him, but he didn't move at all when he was about to lose the power in his hands, which was really suspicious.

Ying Zheng sent Li Si to continue watching, and then listened to Yao Jia's report.

Compared with Lu Buwei, an old fox, Lao Ai was not enough to look good in front of Yao Jia, Yao Jia crackled and said that Lai Ai's arrangement was almost the same.

"Where did he get so many people?" Ye Yu couldn't help but wondered after hearing this.The Empress Dowager Xi couldn't use the county soldiers, and the guards and the retainers shouldn't have so many talents.

Yao Jia said, "I found out that Marquis Chang Xin had a connection with Rong Di."

Now Ying Zheng was showing anger, "What a Chang Xinhou, what a..."

Ying Zheng didn't shout out, but Ye Yu felt that the second half of what he said should refer to Queen Mother Zhao.

With the information provided by Yao Jia, Ye Yu had already planned the deployment according to the map, and showed it to Ying Zheng, and after confirming that it was correct, he arranged it directly.

Ten days before the crowning ceremony, Yingzheng left for Yongcheng and stayed in Qinian Palace. At this time, the traffic was not developed. It would be too much trouble if he came here in a hurry just for the crowning ceremony. .The ministers who will watch the ceremony will live in specially arranged special buildings after their arrival.

After repeatedly checking the defenses of the Qi Nian Palace, Ye Yu was about to return to the building where he was staying, but was stopped by Ying Zheng.

"Aiqing lives so far away, how can we ensure the safety of the widow?" Ying Zhengfeng looked at Ye Yu and asked seriously.

Ye Yu was slightly stunned, "I have already arranged the guards, and I will wait for the king's orders at any time."

"In that case, Aiqing should stay in the Pian Hall." Ying Zheng seemed to take the second half of Ye Yu's sentence as referring to himself, so that Ye Yu could get his orders at any time.

"This..." Ye Yu hesitated.

Historically, Yingzheng was safe and sound this time, but Lai Ai was not so flustered at that time, and may not have used assassins, but this time it is hard to say.

"Minister obeys the order." Ye Yu agreed after thinking about it. Since he has assumed the post of guard this time, it is better to be closer. There is indeed a little distance from here to the building. If something happens, he may not be able to make it in time. .

Thinking of this, he glanced at the sword on Ying Zheng's waist again, and remembering the "Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin", he said: "The king's sword is too long. If you sit for a while, it is difficult to pull it out. Please change to a dagger."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng believed Ye Yu's words, but he was still skeptical, because he had never heard of anyone who changed his sword to a shorter one when he sat down for so many years.So he tried it on the spot, and sure enough, he couldn't pull it out all at once, and he had to adjust it.Only then did he make people take out the dagger and replace it.

After eliminating a hidden danger, Ying Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, and asked Ye Yu to stay for a while, and even ate some food with him.
