Longyang loves Qin

Ye Yu didn't know whether Lai Ai had sent an assassin, maybe she was afraid of scaring the snake, or maybe she couldn't find a space to assassinate, in short, no matter how undercurrents surged in the past ten days, there was always a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere on the surface.

Ever since Ye Ziying was born, Ye Yu would find time to accompany him no matter how busy he was, and even formed a habit, but this time he didn't bring the little one here because of safety issues, and he felt inexplicably lonely.

Fortunately, the day of Yingzheng and crown has finally arrived. Ye Yu, who had been vigilant for many days, took a few deep breaths, cheered up again, and the fatigue in his eyes disappeared completely. His black eyes were shining brightly. What a military uniform, what a handsome young general.

He was originally the guard of this crown ceremony, no matter it was on the surface or in secret, so it was fine to attend in military uniform.

The day of the crowning ceremony is naturally a good weather, and Fengchang Temple has been busy for this day.Fortunately, their hard work was not in vain. It was indeed a beautiful day with clear skies and sunshine.

Ye Yu came to wait outside the Yingzheng Hall, and not long after, he saw the young man with a weak crown who was already a little taller than him.Yingzheng was dressed in solemn black, with flying dragons embroidered with bright black thread on the corners of his clothes, auspicious clouds embroidered with silver thread, cloud patterns on the collar skirt, and fine Kunshan jade on his belt. The ornaments are auspicious animals made of ivory.

The black dragon on his robe seemed to come alive as he walked around, flying in the clouds, and Ying Zheng seemed to be surrounded by black dragons, and the aura that was no longer restrained at this time became more sharp after such a foil. Let people understand his identity.

Those long and narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly due to the stimulation of the light when they walked out of the dormitory, and then fell on Ye Yu who was standing sideways waiting, and said with a smile, "Lao Aiqing has been waiting for a long time."

"The minister has just arrived." Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Ye Yu felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.That precocious little prince became the majestic king of Qin, and he was fortunate to witness this process.The only regret is that he couldn't see the time when Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, but he believed that he would be able to see the day when Ying Zheng became the first emperor of Qin.

Yongcheng was the original capital of the Qin State, and now it has become the accompanying capital, but there is still no shortage of those ancestral temples and places of worship.

As Yingzheng, he naturally didn't have to entertain the guests like Ye Yu did. In fact, before Yingzheng arrived, those ministers were already neatly dressed and waiting there.

Ying Zheng went in first, while Ye Yu summoned Meng Tian to ask a few questions about defense before he took his place. He glanced from the corner of his eye, and it turned out that Lao Ai's place was vacant.

If it was said that Ye Yu had already invited many people from Quanchaotang, then Yingzheng had even more people come to watch the ceremony this time, and each of them had a very important status.

When the auspicious time came, Yingzheng began to receive the crown. The guest of honor was still Lu Buwei, and he was regarded as Yingzheng's second father. Regardless of blood relationship, he was closer to Yingzheng than the clan.

Cloth crowns, leather crowns... In the end, they were not royal crowns, but black crowns.

The whole process upheld the usual solemnity, which just gave Ye Yu an environment to be vigilant.

Yingzheng's crown ceremony does not need to take characters, because the state of Qin does not like calligraphy, so he fastened the red tassel under his chin, slightly adjusted the Tai'a sword on his waist, and when he turned to look at the officials, Feng Chang announced the ceremony.

Wearing the gown made by an unknown number of weaving girls and the crown with ninety-nine and 81 jade pieces, the crowned king stood on the jade steps and glanced at his officials.

At this time, Ye Yu keenly heard the unusual voice. He followed all the officials to congratulate and salute Ying Zheng, and at the same time signaled to Ying Zheng with his eyes.

At this moment, Lao Ai, who was absent from the coronation ceremony, suddenly rode a horse and led his soldiers into the square in front of the hall where the coronation ceremony was being held. Ye Yu was no longer the only one who could notice such a big movement.

"What happened?" At first, the officials thought it was Ying Zheng's plan, but it wasn't until the sound of fighting outside that some courageous officials turned pale.

Ye Yu immediately stood under Yingzheng, and at the same time, the guards ambushing nearby also started to move. Layers of cavalry protected everyone present, and some guards surrounded them as soon as Lao Ai broke in. took them.

Seeing the elite soldiers wearing dazzling bronze armors who suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly after being crowned by Ying Zheng and then returned to the top position of civil servants.

He understood that Ying Zheng might have known about Lai Ai's actions. Now it seems that Lai Ai is making trouble, but in fact, it is probably Ying Zheng who wants to use this to catch them all.

"You don't need to panic." Ying Zheng's tone was very calm and convincing, and the breeze didn't even blow the corner of his robe.

And Ye Yu was also orderly commanding the guards by his side, the white-hoofed crow was brought over by a certain guard, and Meng Tian also rode his horse to obey Ye Yu's orders.

When Lai Ai saw that this was obviously a situation she had prepared for a long time ago, she knew that she had fallen into a trap, and her eyes burst into tears, "Zhao Zheng!!" He didn't know that Lu Buwei was behind the push, otherwise the spearhead would be aimed at him at this time. His heartache.

Although the killing noise was loud outside, the ministers retreated into the hall with great peace of mind under the guard of elite soldiers. This scene made Lai Ai look like a joke even more.

Lai Ai grasped the reins tightly in her hand, quickly counted the guards present, and immediately regained her confidence, and scolded Ying Zheng, "You ungrateful villain, you actually harmed your own mother and even killed your own brother! , I will do justice for the heavens today!"

Everyone who didn't know the inside story was at a loss.Brother Yingzheng?Isn't that Chengyu, Lord Chang'an deserved to die if he rebelled, and isn't Lord Chang'an doing well in Zhao State now?

Ye Yu was about to be annoyed when he heard Lao Ai brazenly raising the banner.

Ying Zheng chuckled first, and he took a step forward, with no expression of anger on his face, looking at Lai Ai sitting on the horse like an eagle, like an ant, which made Lai Ai choke for a moment, his clothes The robe moved as it walked, and the black dragon on it was even more lifelike under the sunlight.

Ye Yu turned his head to look at Ying Zheng. He was the closest person to notice Ying Zheng's aura. He thought that Ying Zheng must have been disgusted by Lao Ai too.

This was the first time Ye Yu saw Ying Zheng's full aura, and he could even imagine what Ying Zheng would look like when he came to rule the world in the future.

At this moment Ying Zheng spoke again, perhaps because he was taken aback in a trance, Ye Yu felt his heart beat a beat slower, he hurriedly came back to his senses, and cursed himself in his heart.

There was a hint of disgust in Ying Zheng's eyes, he looked at Lai Ai and said coldly: "Who do you say is my brother?"

The contempt in his tone made Lai Ai's face flush, and Lai Ai also knew that today she was putting all her eggs in one basket, so she didn't hide anything, "I am the child in the Empress Dowager's womb."

The ministers who heard all this behind were in an uproar. They didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so courageous. It would be fine to keep a male pet, but she would even have children for her.

Ying Zheng sneered, "It's just a traitor." His "thief" was a pun.

At this time, Lao Ai's army of ten thousand people had gradually arrived, and those elite soldiers seemed a little small. Feeling full of confidence, Lao Ai was about to wave his hand to let people attack and remove Ying Zheng.

However, before he raised his hand to give an order, there was another sound of fighting behind him.

"What's going on?" Lai Ai hurriedly turned her head and asked.

"Catch this thief!" Ying Zheng ordered in a deep voice.

"I obey the order." Ye Yu jumped on the horse, drew the Zhanlu sword from his waist, and rode forward.

His actions seemed to press some switch, and the guards who had originally intercepted them also began to exert their strength, and the orderly elite soldiers stepped forward, which put a lot of pressure on the Lai Ai army.

The military generals who had been watching the ceremony also came to help one after another. Although their uniforms were not as light as Ye Yu's military uniforms, they were not unable to move.

Although there were tens of thousands of Lai Ai troops, only a few thousand people came in after being thrown away in other places, and these people were not as good as one enemy with five elite soldiers.

Ye Yu and Meng Tian only led a mere thousand people to suppress the thousands of Lai Ai troops in front of them, and the remaining thousands of people couldn't get in.

Seeing that the number of soldiers around was decreasing, Lai Ai gritted her teeth, looked angrily at Ying Zheng and Ye Yu, who was not injured at all, "Retreat!"

Lai Ai's eyes were fierce, and she thought that since she couldn't attack for a while, it would be better to surround this place so that these people couldn't get out. Even if they couldn't be killed, they could be starved to death like the Sand Dune Rebellion!

It's just that not long after his order was issued, someone responded from behind: "There are enemy troops behind!" It was impossible to retreat.

Lai Ai was shocked. Seeing the enemy being attacked, he looked at Ying Zheng in the distance, and then at Ye Yu who was being besieged by several soldiers. He flicked the reins and raised his sword to attack Ye Yu.

Ye Yu could not have noticed this guy who had never even been on the battlefield. He kicked away an enemy soldier next to him, slashed his sword in his throat, and took advantage of the momentum to kill the next enemy soldier.

At this time, Lao Ai had already raised the long sword and chopped it down. Ye Yu just raised the sword to reach it, and then exerted force with his hand, the intact bronze sword was broken in two.

Bronze swords are not suitable for chopping, and it is Ye Yu's sword that cuts iron like mud, so it is no wonder that it will break.

But Lao Ai didn't take a few steps back in fear. Seeing Ye Yu attacking him, he immediately threw a broken sword to stop Ye Yu, and then turned around and ran back. A soldier nearby snatched a weapon.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Even though she knew there were enemy troops behind her, but the bones in front were harder to crack, Lao Ai could only hope to find a breakthrough in the rear.

He had all kinds of expectations in his heart. He thought to himself that the other end should have stolen the jade seal placed in Qi Nian Palace. As long as it protrudes, he can mobilize the county soldiers. Can't stand the crowd.

But all of this requires him to get out of here first.

The sound of fighting was endless, and seeing that her soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, but she still couldn't move an inch, Lao Ai became anxious.

Lai Ai was unwilling to die here, so he yelled in the direction of Ying Zheng, "Zhao Zheng, I have already stolen your jade seal, you just wait to die like King Wuling of Zhao!" Whether Ying Zheng believes it or not, as long as he If he becomes suspicious, send someone to check on Yuxi, then the offensive from behind will be weakened, and he will be able to find a chance to retreat.

Lai Ai thought it was a good idea, but unexpectedly, Ye Yu snorted, and Ying Zheng was not in a hurry, as if he knew his plan a long time ago and had made preparations.

Not only Lai Ai panicked, but even Lu Buwei in the hall was shocked.Now he is only thankful that his original plan was to fight between the snipe and the clam, so he didn't move at all, otherwise he might be caught by Ying Zheng.

The smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Lai Ai's uneven team of [-] people was almost surrounded by two thousand elite soldiers and many generals, and he was finally captured by Ye Yu. The body has already been separated.

At this time, the generals who led another 1000 people to attack Lai Ai's army from behind also came out, Li Xin and Qiang Yan.They brought some Lai Ai troops who were planning to escape just now.

But Lejian looked puzzled, he didn't see his nephew in the spectator team, and he thought that Uncle Le was the general outside, but he didn't expect it to be.

Just as he was thinking like this, the sound of horseshoes came from outside again. There was something about Lao Ai, and everyone looked in that direction with extreme vigilance.

This time it was no longer the enemy army, but the nephew Le Shu and Wang Ben whom Le Jian had just thought of, and the last thousand elite soldiers they led.

These two men also got off their horses and returned to command like Li Xin and the others, "The thief has been killed, Wang Xi is fine, and the troops of Rong and Di are retreating."

"Good!" Ying Zheng replied with satisfaction. He glanced at the bloody corpses in the distance and said, "Continue with the ceremony."

It was only then that everyone remembered that the process of the coronation ceremony had not yet been completed, and thinking about Ying Zheng's reaction and arrangements from beginning to end, they tacitly said nothing, but they knew in their hearts that Ying Zheng is not an easy king.

Originally, he could stay in Yong City for a few more days after the crowning ceremony, but naturally he couldn't stay longer after the Lai Ai Rebellion.

Within two days, everyone returned to Xianyang, and the next day they went to court to discuss how to deal with Lao Ai and others.

Lai Ai was sentenced to be torn apart, and all the members of the Yi tribe and his disciples who participated in the rebellion were executed, and those who were charged with minor crimes were paid ghosts, and all the officials who assisted him were executed.

However, when it was the Queen Mother Zhao's turn, it was difficult to judge.

Even though he knew that Lai Ai was going to rebel and got the Queen Mother Seal from the Queen Mother, when Lai Ai appeared in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng was still angry because of the Queen Mother Zhao.No matter how much the Queen Mother Zhao asked to see him in Yongcheng, she didn't respond, and she didn't take him with her when she returned to Xianyang.

Ying Zheng hated Lai Ai, and even hated the Queen Mother Zhao who was willing to bear a child for her and let him kill him. He planned to move the Queen Mother to Shaoyang Palace.

It was said to be relocation, but who didn't know that it meant "prisoner", and some people immediately stood up to oppose it.

No matter how wrong the Queen Mother Zhao was, she was Ying Zheng's mother and the Queen Mother after all, so there were quite a few people who opposed it.

Anger was building up in Ying Zheng's heart. He had just seized power, and he didn't like others to oppose him at this moment. However, these people who jumped out one after another made him feel that he was still under the same control as before.

"Enough!" Ying Zheng said angrily.

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Ying Zheng looked at these people, exhaled slowly, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to catch a glimpse of Ye Yu, "Ye Aiqing, what do you think?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Yu, his body froze, he didn't understand why he was suddenly asked about this matter, so he walked forward slowly, using this to think quickly in his mind.

"I think...the Empress Dowager should be placed in Yongcheng as a matter of course." After he finished speaking, he looked at Yingzheng with a guilty conscience.

Ying Zheng didn't expect that Ye Yu would also oppose him. He pursed his lower lip tightly and clenched his hands white, but he still didn't give up, and only said, "We will discuss it later."

Probably because Ying Zheng was in a bad mood, he even forgot about the reward and retreated directly. The officials also saw Ying Zheng's anger and didn't mention it.

This time Zhao Gao didn't come to look for Ye Yu, but Ye Yu took the initiative to invite Ying Zheng to see him.

Ying Zheng didn't want to see him out of anger, but he wanted to know Ye Yu's reason, so he announced it anyway.

After Ye Yu came in to salute, Ying Zheng looked at him without saying a word.

Ye Yu sighed softly in his heart, remembering Ying Zheng's tightly clenched hands before, he hurriedly explained: "I feel that if the king doesn't like the queen mother, he should let her live in Yongcheng."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng relaxed and asked, "Why?"

"The head of Guizhou was the head of the rebellion, and the king forgave the head of Guizhou this time, but will those heads of Guizhou and the county magistrate forget about it?" Ye Yu asked.

Of course not, those people naturally hated the Queen Mother who brought disaster to them.

Ye Yu continued: "The queen mother is not in good health and should rest and recuperate. During the comet, the queen mother said that there was a disaster in the palace, which would not be good for her, so she moved the palace to Yongcheng. This is the queen mother's own idea, isn't it? Your majesty, since you don't like the queen mother, why bother?" What about stigmatizing the Empress Dowager? Have you forgotten the hundred families waiting for your appointment?"

Ying Zheng followed Ye Yu's words to think about it, and thought it was true, so he calmed down and showed off his face.

He gave up the plan to move the queen mother to the Yang Palace, still let her stay in Yongcheng, replaced a group of old and ugly maidservants and eunuchs for her, and sent more guards to "guard", saying that she was the queen mother. Prevent the remnants from harming the Queen Mother.

Although it still has the meaning of being imprisoned, Yingzheng accepted their advice, and the Queen Mother was also at fault in the matter, so the ministers simply didn't know, and praised Yingzheng for accepting advice one after another, and praised Ye Yu for being good at persuading advice ...It's more of a good reputation than nothing.

Ying Zheng looked at these ignorant people, laughed at them for being stupid, and then looked at Ye Yu, who happened to meet Ye Yu's gaze.

Ye Yu blinked slyly and innocently, which made Ying Zheng laugh in his heart. Since he was still in the court meeting, he tried his best to keep his face expressionless.

Yingzheng was in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, he promoted the titles of all those who participated in the suppression of the rebellion.Of course, this is not all a reward, it is more probably because he needs to employ people now, and those good seedlings that he valued originally can just be promoted and used in a good place.

Uncle Le was in the same position as Ye Yu in Zhao State, and his title was a bit short, but now after He Zong and the current suppression of the rebellion, he was able to reach a marquis and was named Hua Chengjun.The remaining few people were originally partial generals, and now they happened to be promoted to generals together. Although it was only the lowest standard, they obviously had a bright future.

But Ye Yu gave Yingzheng a headache. Ye Yu is the leader this time, so it should be the biggest one.But he is now the Marquis of Guannei, and the only way to go up is Chehou.However, the fief he agreed with Ye Yu has not yet been included in Qin's pocket. A Chehou without a fief and title puts Ye Yu in an embarrassing situation.

And Ye Yu's position is already a general, and if he goes up, besides the transcendent status of the general, the four pension positions of front, back, left, and right have already been rejected by him, and they are not suitable for him.

So in the end, Yingzheng had no choice but to give Ye Yu more standards, and he gave more salary, food, gold, jade and personal guards, which was not worse than that of Chehou.

Ye Yu didn't mind this at all. Compared with a false title, he got a lot of benefits.

But in Ying Zheng's view, these things seemed to be false, and he allowed him to pay homage to him without a name, and he stopped after expressing that everyone should not underestimate him.

It is a special treatment to pay homage without being named, that is, when you need to roll your name when you meet the court or visit, those who roll the roll cannot call him by his name directly, and must respect his official position.

The biggest impact of this treatment on Ye Yu is that the elders called him more often.Even the roll call officer in front of the king couldn't call his name, so naturally no one else dared to.

But Ye Yu knew that this was Ying Zheng's good intentions, so he never felt dissatisfied.

The author has something to say: ①From the map, it is definitely not in Yongyang Palace, but in Hu (Hu) County, but it only existed in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was not written on the pre-Qin map.
