[Qin] Qin Shi

Standing on the high platform, Ying Zheng looked down at the restless courtiers below who were agitated by the battle outside the high wall. Seeing their faces bewildered or anxious, bewildered or excited, they turned their heads as if they were an eyesore. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Lu Buwei with a solemn face, and finally landed on Zhao Ji.

"The Queen Mother, should I go into the house first?" He pretended not to see the beads of sweat on Zhao Ji's forehead and her pale face, and only took it as the other party's concern for him. , it is the son's sin—but the queen mother can rest assured, those villains who offend the queen mother's dignity, the son will definitely not go around them."

Zhao Ji didn't know what sentence she was startled by, but her body swayed and she managed to stabilize herself: "No need." Which responds with the words, "It's all small things."

But all she could do was to stabilize herself. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but before she could speak, she felt inappropriate and retracted it.But soon there was something new to ask, so he opened his mouth again, watching the serious Ying Zheng swallow his own words again, and so on.

Ying Zheng pretended that he didn't see Zhao Ji's entanglement at all, and turned to Lu Buwei who was on the other side: "Father Zhong," the upward arc of the corner of his mouth was not obvious, and his voice and expression were true. How to be a good child, completely lost the calmness when he just comforted Zhao Ji, "Father Zhong, do you know what happened outside?"

However, it was at this moment that Ying Zheng's innocence, which was the same as usual, "I don't know anything about finding an adult when something happens", made Lu Buwei's heart sink.Only at this moment did he realize in a daze that the obedient and well-behaved puppet he thought didn't understand anything had unknowingly cut off his control wires and danced with him.

But Lu Buwei is worthy of being a man who has experienced great storms, and even invested in Ying Yiren with his outstanding vision: "I don't know," he said with a bit of anxiety on his face, as if he was really worried about Ying Zheng, "but I believe that the The general will keep the king safe."

"Yeah." With a strange echo, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei's drooping head, "Gu also trusts General Meng." He said this in a very soft voice, as if he was talking to himself regretfully , "Today is the day when Gu is crowned. With such a grand ceremony, does everyone want to present a big gift to Gu, mother?"

He hadn't called Zhao Ji like that for a long time, so that Zhao Ji's first reaction after hearing it was not to respond to Ying Zheng, but to turn her head and look at him stunned.

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng, and at her first child, who was also the child who had gone through difficult times with her in the State of Zhao, stumbling and supporting each other in the State of Qin until today, and had given her high hopes: "Zheng'er ?” Her eyes were full of bewilderment, and even her words seemed to be meeting Ying Zheng for the first time.

This attitude made Lu Buwei froze. He was also Zhao Ji's bedside person, and he knew this woman who only had a chest but no brains. Just get rid of Zhao Ji's entanglement with him after her husband's death.

But no matter how powerful Lu Buwei is, he has always been very clear about himself, he is just a 'second father'.

Since it's just 'second father', where does he have the right to intervene in the dialogue between this noble pair of mother and son.He wanted to wink at Zhao Ji, but now that Zhao Jigui has been the Queen Mother for many years, he is still the concubine Ji who once had a tacit understanding with him, watching him wink and knowing what he wants with just one glance.

"Let's continue," Ying Zheng stopped talking to Zhao Ji, and he seemed very satisfied with Lu Buwei's silence, "Just like Zhong's father trusts General Meng, Gu also trusts him—compared to those jumpers who can't make waves. Chong, Gu has been waiting for today for a long time." He looked at Lu Buwei, and there was no threat in his calm voice.

On Ying Zheng's body, Lu Buwei saw a pretentiously wagging tail, crawling body, ready to pounce on its prey and crush it at any moment: "Here." He took a deep breath, thinking that all these years he had done something wrong because of the other party's youth. What happened, thinking about the bleak future, but my heart became more and more bitter.

The so-called crowning is a kind of coming-of-age ceremony for nobles.The Crown Ceremony, also known as the Chengding Ceremony or Entering the Society Ceremony, is a declaration of adulthood, can pass on the family line, and begins to officially enjoy the right to participate in politics and rule.Because Yingzheng is the eldest son, and he is also the king who wants to inherit Qin's great fortune, his coronation ceremony can be described as grand.

It was the first time to add a black black cloth crown, because the elders were no longer there (referring to the elders directly under the male line), the crown ceremony of Yingzheng was blessed by the respected old people of the clan.Lu Buwei, who is the prime minister, and Zhao Ji, who is the birth mother of the king, can only stand at the nearest place to watch - but now, no matter who they are, they are not in the mood to watch this grand moment.

On the contrary, it was Ying Zheng, his movements were dignified and solemn, and he waited happily but without losing the atmosphere for the second addition of the Pibian, and then the third addition of the Jubilee—three crowns, one symbolizing adulthood, the second symbolizing inheritance, and the third crowning. To carry forward the symbol—every time is more grand and more important.

In the end, it was the long sword held up by the servant, which symbolized power.It was a strange-looking sword. The biggest difference between it and the usual swords was the too wide and thick blade.And for some reason, this sword does not have a wooden scabbard, but is wrapped by a layer of black cloth embroidered with Qin patterns.

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to take the sword. He looked at the sword and smiled as if he thought of something extremely interesting.Then he raised his hand and reached for the long sword lying quietly on the red cloth.

It was at this time that Lao Ai rushed into the temple: "Ying Zheng—" he yelled, and his soldiers clattered and surrounded the courtiers present.The ancestral temple, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded, but in such a crowd, there was a road vacated by people, from Lai Ai pointing directly at Yingzheng.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng didn't look back from the beginning to the end, even when he heard Lao Ai's voice, he just stopped the hand that was about to hold the sword, but he just paused, and soon stretched out to the sword, Grab this sword wrapped in black cloth in your hand.

Nothing can stop him, not Lao Ai, not even Zhao Ji.

"Mother," his voice could only be heard by the people next to him, "Chang Xinhou is the person next to you, right?"

It wasn't about accountability, but curiosity and calmness like asking about the weather. He didn't have any more words, but everyone knew that he was asking Zhao Ji if he knew about Chang Xinhou's actions today.

Zhao Ji trembled in fright at Ying Zheng's incoherent words, which was undoubtedly the best answer to Ying Zheng.And looking at the eldest son who turned his back to her, the woman sitting on the seat of the Queen Mother subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sleeve robe that drew a beautiful arc in the air: "Zheng'er," the dull woman said At this moment, I finally realized something, "Mother, mother will protect you..."

She looked at Ying Zheng and murmured, the raised eyebrows in her sight overlapped with the little wrinkled baby who was just born and was crying in her arms in her memory.She looked at Ying Zheng, but realized that at some point, this baby lying in his arms, this child who was holding onto her sleeve before she came to Xianyang and did not want her to leave, had grown up.

And the pair of calm black eyes under his brows reminded Zhao Ji of the time when a foreigner left their mother and child in Zhao Guo, and whenever a guest bullied her, that child would save her life even if she wanted to.He also stared at those villains like this, even if he was beaten or scolded, he just watched quietly like this, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of the other party into his bones.

I don't know where the villain from back then is now, but this look...

Zhao Ji's hand holding Yingzheng's sleeve robe fell unconsciously, remembering that before the state of Qin, he was also her hope of living, and they had only depended on each other for life.

But when did all this change?

When did she start to forget her eldest son and shift more attention to her two younger sons?Obviously he is also her own child, even the only child she brought up to be literate in school.

"Zheng'er," Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng striding forward expressionlessly with a mournful expression, and the long silk sleeves slipped out from her fingertips, "Zheng'er," she begged, but she didn't even know that she was What are you begging for, or is it just pure sadness, "Zheng'er, mother..."

"Ying Zheng!" Lai Ai's roar from a distance reached his ears at this moment, his triumphant voice echoed Zhao Ji's pleading behind him, absurd and ridiculous.It was so ridiculous that Ying Zheng didn't even have the idea to listen, but just watched Lai Ai proud of the current situation from afar, standing there chattering endlessly when she looked like she was in the upper hand - so timid.

The flamboyant Lao Ai gradually lost his temper in Yingzheng's unusually calm: "Chang Xinhou," seeing that Lai Ai finally stopped his tirade, in the silence, Ying Zheng asked flatly, "So What can you do with this position?"

Another thing he asked about was somehow misunderstood by Lao Ai: "You don't know yet," he let out a joyous laugh, "Zhenger," he called Ying Zhengdao brazenly, "Morning!" A few years ago, your mother gave birth to several younger brothers and sisters for you."

With such blunt words, several gray-bearded officials were so angry that they ignored the swords on their necks and pointed at Zhao Ji and Lai Ai and yelled shamelessly.

Lai Ai didn't care about these old guys pointing fingers, he even proudly started to show off his capital, and began to talk about the rights he should enjoy as the false father of King Qin today, and his helplessness in doing this - obviously he is also the empress dowager son, his child should also have a name and a surname.

Zhao Ji turned pale, and murmured in a low voice that it's not like this, it's not like this, she staggered and wanted to go forward to hug Yingzheng, but was stopped by a strong man who suddenly appeared.The strong man who stopped Zhao Ji had only four fingers, but he easily grabbed Zhao Ji, even ignoring her words of reprimanding him for committing crimes, pulled her away from Ying Zheng, and threw her onto the stairs.

If Zhao Ji hadn't held onto the handrail beside her, she might have really rolled down the long white marble stairs.

But even if she pulled the armrest to stabilize herself, the flowers and hairpins on her head were also messed up in the dispute and shaking. The long black hair fell down in front of her because of the loss of restraint. With her pleading expression, It looked rather embarrassing.

"Mother," Ying Zheng looked down at Zhao Ji who was in such a mess, his eyes were indifferent as if looking at a stranger, "You should be with Dad." His tone was very calm, but neither Zhao Ji nor Ying Zheng had any It was very clear who he was referring to by the "father" that rarely appeared in his mouth, "Until today, Zheng'er found out that what he said was right. You will not be the Queen Mother, nor can you become the Queen Mother."

Before Ying Yiren passed away in a hurry, he was left with a situation where Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang check and balance each other, allowing him to grow in the cracks.But when he got older, he understood why his great-grandfather was willing to hand over the state of Qin to the Empress Dowager Xuan for many years, and even before his father died, he didn't get rid of the Empress Dowager Huayang who supported him back then.

It is not the favor of supporting them to the King of Qin, nor is it the feelings that accompany them along the way—as long as it does not hurt Qin State, as long as it benefits Qin State, there is no grievance that cannot be tolerated, and there is nothing that cannot be done , there is nothing that cannot be given up.

"Father is right, queen mother," Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji, lowered his eyes to block the rolling waves in his eyes, "Zheng'er values ​​you too much."

Maybe it was wrong at the beginning. Ten years ago, when he realized that Zhao Ji was at a loss, his first reaction was to ask Lu Buwei for help. Because of Lu Buwei, she obediently focused on himself with just a few words. He should have realized it when Zhao Ji asked him to fight for her instead of being safe.

Just like his father and king only loved himself, Zhao Ji would never love others more than herself.Even compared to other people, Zhao Ji is more greedy, she wants everyone to love her, wants everyone to value her, wants the best everything in this world but doesn't want to give anything.

Just like at this moment, she has made up her mind to abandon him and choose power, but she doesn't know why she regrets it - if it was the Queen Mother, she would definitely not be like this.

Ying Zheng took a step forward, scanning the familiar faces in the team.

If there was no Queen Mother, would it be possible that Lai Ai alone could gather so many soldiers: "Lao Ai, Gu has never asked you whether you are a kind or a no-kind." I never blamed Lai Ai. After all, without Zhao Ji, how could Lai Ai have the opportunity to call herself a 'false father'.On the way back from Handan that year, after he learned that he was not his father's only heir, he tried his best to do what other people expected him to do, just to earn favor and face for Zhao Ji who regarded him as the only one.He made a choice between his father and his mother, and his mother just made her choice between him and the younger brother who had never met formally.

There is nothing to blame, everyone has his/her own choice, just like when he chose to return to Qin and chose to compete with Cheng Yu for this position.It's as if he chose to sit still after learning about Zhao Ji and Lao Ai, and wait until today - there is nothing to blame.

Ying Zheng's clenched fists were slowly loosened, and it seemed that straws had fallen from his palms to the ground and scattered into mud—it turned out that he was not the only one to anyone, nor the irreplaceable one. Not the only one.

His obsession with Zhao Ji for so many years turned out to be wrong.

In the nights in Handan when he was a child, he had heard Zhao Ji countless times tell the story of his father Yu Zhongfu's "exotic goods can live in", the story of his father courting Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang who returned to Qin, and his How to win the attention of the great-grandfather is the story of the soon-to-be king of Qin.

He had heard of the prosperity and strength of Qin State countless times, so he thought—why can't I?

When he returned to Qin, he only slept for one or two hours a day just to think of his great-grandfather and his father to show his intelligence and obedience. The docile child I wanted, and his obedience and obedience were set off by Cheng Hu.

This is not happy, but fortunately all the sacrifices are worthwhile. He became the king of Qin and took revenge on those Qin people who laughed at him, bullied him, and ridiculed him.He even took his own revenge on those who had fallen into trouble in Handan and those who had stood by.

The bones of those who looked down on him are buried now, but he is still standing here.

He succeeded, he became the king of Qin, earning his mother the most honorable position among women in Qin.

But since when did Zhao Ji change?Was it when Zhao Ji realized that he was gradually losing control?When she learned that he was no longer her only child?Or earlier, when she returned to Qin and saw the noble life her father and king lived, but abandoned their mother and son in Handan?

When did Zhao Ji turn into someone he didn't recognize?

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji's undiminished appearance, the panic and pleading in the corners of her eyes and brows, and suddenly realized that he had changed a lot in these years.

Because no one likes people who lose their temper, he restrained his temper, restrained all unruly and uninhibited, restrained all violence and mania, in exchange for the status above ten thousand people.Was it because of his changes that Zhao Ji gradually went on a long journey with him, and even finally decided to give up on him?

The person he wanted to protect today turned his back on him and abandoned him.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he should turn himself into that priceless treasure, instead of grabbing Zhao Ji like a life-saving straw, hoping that she can see him, and hope that she can see himself as the only one.

Who has said that everything is subject to change, and only interest is the eternal factor driving forward.

"Lao Ai, what can you do if you get this position?" Ying Zheng, who thought of a lot at this moment, had no sadness or joy on his face, and just looked at Lai Ai openly, like a soldier surrounded by soldiers at the moment. The person is Lai Ai and not like him, "You are not from the old Qin, so you will not feel the ambition buried deep in the bones and blood of the Qin people."

The great-grandfather who was seriously ill on the couch, even when he was seriously ill, his cloudy eyes could see through people's hearts.Ying Zheng thought of his great-grandfather holding his hand when he was seriously ill, and told him that there was nothing in this world that he couldn't admit, lie, or do except for family and country affairs.

Yingzheng thought of the urgent order that night, when his white-eyed great-grandfather hid the pastries he wanted to share with him under the pillow, and thought of the words when his great-grandfather grabbed his shoulder so hard that it turned blue: "There is only this world," Ying Zheng said. Looking at Lao Ai, her expression was as fanatical and greedy as that of Ying Ji who was seriously ill on the couch back then, "It's the most important thing."

The rest, whether it is gold, silver and jewelry, feats of princes, beauties, or even family ties, are unimportant and can be given up on this broad road——

——Only this world is something that the old Qin people have cherished for generations, and they can give everything for it.

At that time, he still didn't understand the half-life wise and half-life absurdity that his grandfather said, but as he got older, he gradually understood why Mrs. Huayang had stood up for so many years, but his mother had achieved nothing.It was just an ordinary day, but he suddenly understood what his grandfather said.

He never regretted his original decision, but only regretted that Da Qin's years of hard work had been ruined because of his temporary absurdity and suspicion.In front of Yu's family and country, those petty loves are irrelevant, only the last wishes of the ancestors are the most important.

"Lao Ai, have you ever thought about what the sky of the Qin Kingdom should look like?" Ying Zheng looked at Lai Ai, but passed his gaze through him, and saw the former king who died young, "Lao Ai, if you were king , what will you do?" As he spoke, he actually laughed, "What will you do?"

"Zheng'er." It is said that knowing a son is better than a mother. At this moment, Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng who was not flustered, and knelt down on the steps with a plop. Begging Ying Zheng to stop talking about the relationship between their mother and son, or begging him to surrender quickly to save his life.

"Mother," Ying Zheng didn't look at Zhao Ji, "what are you asking for?" He didn't go to see Lai Ai either, but just looked at the blue sky in the distance, "The day my father called Zheng'er was also so clear." Sky, at that time Cheng Yu was also there, and Mrs. Huayang was still alive."

Zhao Ji was frightened by Ying Zheng's soft tone: "Zheng'er, mother will protect you," she muttered, "so this king, we should not be the king, okay?" She begged, "You and mother will protect you." Go, mother will protect you, mother will give you a home." Weeping, "We won't fight anymore, okay?"

"But Zheng'er and his father have already made an appointment, and they will go to the 37 cities of Zhao State." Ying Zheng curled up his mouth, closed and opened his eyes again, those weak feelings never existed, and some were only firm and peaceful. Raging ambition, "My mother, my father said, I will go to Zhao Guo - 37 cities."

At this point in the words, Ying Zheng's malice has not been concealed, and he even explained to her as if he was afraid that Zhao Ji would not understand: "Is mother happy? Your child is like Lord Wu An back then. City—only this time, Qin will not stop."

"Mother," Ying Zheng looked down at Zhao Ji, showing a pure smile just like a newborn, "How about we change our identities and go to Handan again?"

Zhao Ji was so frightened by Ying Zheng's smile that she couldn't kneel down on the steps and fell directly down.But there were so many people present, no matter whether they were ministers or soldiers brought in by Lao Ai, none of them helped this supreme woman.They just watched, like sculptures, with cold and indifferent expressions.

After all, Lai Ai and Zhao Ji still have some kind of friendship, no matter what the cause of this friendship is, but this is the woman who gave birth to him after all: "Ying Zheng," the man who has been standing where he has never stepped forward, After seeing Zhao Ji's embarrassment several times, she finally stepped forward, "You wolf, she is your biological mother!"

Along with Lao Ai, there were soldiers behind him.

Such accusations did not shake Yingzheng. To him, Lao Ai and Zhao Ji seemed to be two completely irrelevant people who did not need to pay attention, and even a glance was a waste of his eyes: "Sometimes , I also hope Gu is a wolf." He sighed, looking down at Lao Ai and Zhao Ji condescendingly.

Holding the saber in one hand, Ying Zheng allowed himself to be surrounded like this: "Gu suddenly lost interest," his address changed, "It's so stupid to waste Gu's crown ceremony to accompany you in acting. "

"What?" Unlike standing far away before, this time Ying Zheng's words were clearly heard by Lai Ai.He widened his eyes in disbelief, "Are you talking about acting?" He clearly surrounded Ying Zheng, and it was impossible to escape, but Ying Zheng's flat attitude angered Lai Ai, he let go of Zhao Ji, drew his sword and stabbed Ying Zheng politics.

"Before you meet someone next time," Ying Zheng turned around, exposing his back to Lai Ai, "ask yourself—"

With the crisp sound of bronze swords clashing, a man in rebel armor stood between Lai Ai and Ying Zheng. He gave a big smile: "What the king said is true," he said in a cheerful tone, "Next time you meet a strong man who is underappreciated, ask him why he was rejected by his former master."

"Wang Jian!" Lai Ai knew this man. He dug it out from a tavern. He was a dissolute man because he didn't meet a man who was addicted to drunkenness. "How dare you betray me!"

"Don't say that, there's no such thing as betrayal," Wang Jian said with a backhand grinning, pushing back the force of Lai Ai's pressure on him, "Jian took the order of King Qin and received two salaries legally and reasonably—— This time the boat did not capsize." As he spoke, he still had time to look at Lu Buwei amidst Lao Ai's stormy attack.

However, Lu Buwei's face was full of bewilderment that he didn't know what happened. He had obviously forgotten about this old man, which made Wang Jian feel frustrated.Lu Buwei was too obedient today, he couldn't move, but fortunately there was Pipi Ai, so Wang Jian spread all his grievances on Lai Ai, and the situation became one-sided for a while.

"Don't you want the position of Marquis Che?" Although Lao Ai's swordsmanship is also well-known in Qin, but the airs are only airs after all. How can Wang Jian be sharpened by real guns like Wang Jian in actual combat? "Don't you Don't you want the status of a lord? Don't you want the things promised to you?"

"Probably because Jian found something he wanted more," Wang Jian took advantage of the time when Lao Ai drew his sword and kicked him down the stairs. He watched him roll all the way because of his own strength, but he couldn't find it. The opportunity stopped, "Wow, my lord, so Jian has already said that something will happen if you are not careful on such a long staircase."

He held the sword in one hand, and put the other hand above his eyes, making a gaze to block the sun: "Well, the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, he rolls so beautifully, ah, it hurts to think about it—— I heard that he is very big - will it protrude to be a brake, ah, it hurts to hear?"

After driving an adult car, he put the sword back on his waist and chased Ying Zheng into the cabinet.

The author has something to say: Wang Jian: Hehehe, that’s right, it’s Lao Tzu again. This time, Lao Tzu legally received two salaries and hasn’t been fired yet. I’m happy~

QaQ, I was asked Orz within 10 minutes of the start of the game yesterday, but I don’t know if it’s because the author responded too quickly, so by the time this chapter was published, only “Little Match for Selling Girls” had answered and the answer was correct. (and one-shot kill), there is only one correct answer, so add a new chapter, this chapter is the fat chapter after the merger of the daily update and the added update (a total of more than 7000 words~)

Speaking of whether the audit is poisonous, the audit is fine, and I didn't drive and enter the pornography, but I can still get a high-level trial? ? ?

Brother Zheng has already performed the coronation ceremony, is it still far from falling off the horse when he meets Ah Shu~

PS Brother Zheng’s sword is the sword that Ashu told Brother Zheng to leave in the last chapter, and then stuffed it into his hand (it’s also the sword of the future king’s negative sword, hehehehe, the smile is gradually changing)

Speaking of crowning ceremony, I would like to recommend the next pre-received article——Do you know about the article "Taishan Fengchan" by the comprehensive martial arts next door who crossed over to become the emperor of the martial arts world?
