[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House

Ying Zheng has wounds on his body. Even if he is not coquettish, the long-term running around will make his physical strength unbearable.

Behind were the assassins who were chasing after him. Xiao Tong and Wang Wan had already lost Ying Zheng. At this moment, Liu Che reined in his horse, turned over and lifted the curtain of the carriage. , we can't take the car."

Because of the urgency of the matter, Liu Che didn't pay attention to his attitude at all. In the eyes of Ying Zheng, he was just a diner in Lu Buwei's house. Later, Lai Ai used dirty methods to shame himself, so Ying Zheng naturally disliked him even more. he.

Liu Che was just impatient and didn't pay attention to anything. He helped Ying Zheng out of the carriage, stretched out his hand to support him, and hit the horse with the sword with the other hand, causing the carriage to run forward quickly.

Ying Zheng couldn't remember how he came back to Xianyang in his previous life, but he must not have seen this side of Lai Ai in his memory. This heinous Lao Ai, is her fate about to change?

Ying Zheng pursed his lips, frowned and said nothing, while Liu Che had already carried him forward.

I have been driving for a day and a night, and I am not too far from Xianyang. Although I don't have a carriage, I can always go back on foot, but Yingzheng was very weak because of the assassination.

Liu Che's body is not very old, very young, but it is a full head taller than Ying Zheng. Seeing Ying Zheng's pale face, Liu Che couldn't bear it, and said, "I will carry you."

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Liu Che had already squatted down and carried Ying Zheng on his back. Ying Zheng also had wounds on his front, and he was sweating from the pain at the first touch.

Ying Zheng gritted his back teeth. He knew Lai Ai's temperament, and he was very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have climbed so high, but Liu Che was different. Although Liu Che had great plans to govern the country, he had been the emperor all his life. One must not know the minutiae of a person, and would not be as careful as the humble Lai Ai.

Ying Zheng himself had a prejudice against Lai Ai, so he must have thought that Liu Che was targeting him on purpose.

Ying Zheng endured the pain, he had a hard heart, determined not to show weakness in front of this person, so he kept tense, but being carried by Liu Che saved his energy.

Liu Che walked very fast, fearing that if he was too slow, he would be overtaken by assassins. After all, he himself was not a master practitioner, and he relied on subconscious reactions for everything, fearing that a malfunction would ruin Ying Zheng's life.

Ying Zheng was a little tired and drowsy, when he suddenly heard Liu Che say, "We've arrived at the city gate."

Ying Zheng woke up suddenly, looked up at the city gate in front of him, and finally arrived in Xianyang.

Instead, Liu Che frowned, and said, "I don't know who is going to assassinate you. If... I'm afraid I won't be able to enter this city gate."

Although Liu Che didn't say "what if", Yingzheng also knew that Yingzheng was not alone in the selection of the crown prince, there was also the second prince, Cheng Jiao, and many others.

The selection of the Qin State does not avoid concubines, anyone with the same generation and surname can participate, this is called selection of virtuous persons, so those who want to rule Yingzheng to death must be relatives of the emperor.

Since they are relatives of the emperor, it may be very difficult for people to enter this city gate. You must know that they may be tied up by ambushes as soon as they arrive at the city gate.

Right now King Qin is critically ill, often unconscious, and no one will take care of these royal relatives.

Ying Zheng thought for a while, and said, "It will be fine, let's go."

Liu Che didn't know where his confidence came from, but he still listened to Ying Zheng's words. For so many years, he believed in Ying Zheng's words, because Ying Zheng had the capital.

Liu Che walked over with him on his back, and the soldiers guarding the city saw them and immediately said, "Is this Lai Ai?"

Liu Che didn't know why the other party recognized him. Before he could answer, a middle-aged man came down from the tower in a hurry. The man had a broad robe and sleeves, and he described his demeanor as elegant and calm, but with a look of anxiety on his face, he came over to face him. Ying Zheng bowed deeply.

The middle-aged man said: "Lu Buwei came to welcome the prince, please enter the king's city."

Liu Che was taken aback. It turned out that the person in front of him was actually Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei's name was even louder than the names of many emperors. He was the most well-known merchant in history.

Although Lu Buwei has reached middle age, it can be seen that he has been pampered for more than ten years, so that he does not look old, and it is rumored that Lu Buwei speaks softly, his words and deeds are reasonable, and he has a fateful friendship with King Qin, and he is very convincing in Qin State .

When Ying Zheng saw Lu Buwei, he squinted his eyes slightly, because he was smaller than Liu Che and hid behind Liu Che's back. Even the shrewd and capable Lu Buwei could not see Ying Zheng's fleeting eyes.

The reason why Yingzheng let Liu Che just enter the city was because he knew that Lu Buwei placed the bet on himself for the selection of the prince this time, and he had already arrived in Xianyang. If Lu Buwei couldn't even ensure the safety of the city gate, how could he be a Prime Minister of the country.

Ying Zheng saw Lu Buwei, but said: "Don't rush into the king's city, I came back from Zhao, and I'm not used to Xianyang's heavy conditions, just find a farmhouse with me in a remote place, I'll live first."

When Lu Buwei heard it, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded without forcing anything else, and said, "No."

Liu Che was also a former emperor, so he naturally understood the meaning of Yingzheng. After entering the royal city, it was not the biggest place for Lu Buwei. There were many dangers in the royal city, and how many people wanted to rule Yingzheng to death, they were simply overwhelmed. clever.

Living in the farmhouse, first, you don't have to go to the right and wrong places in the king's city to take risks, and second, it can dispel some people's doubts. Ying Zheng wants to show an attitude of not fighting or grabbing.

Lu Buwei immediately asked the soldiers to escort Ying Zheng to the farmhouse, but Liu Che wanted to follow, but he heard Lu Buwei say: "Lao Ai, follow me."

Liu Che paused, and glanced in the direction of Ying Zheng, feeling a little reluctant in his heart. After all, with his status, it might be very difficult for him to see Ying Zheng again.

Ying Zheng left without even turning his head.

Lu Buwei took Lai Ai to the Wangcheng. The inner garden of the Wangcheng, where King Qin lived, was behind the official office area. Lu Buwei walked through the official office area with Lai Ai. It stands to reason that ministers are not allowed to enter the inner garden. Here Only the king of Qin and the queen live there, but Lu Buwei is different. As others have heard, Lu Buwei is a special existence. When the king of Qin was still a proton, it was a fateful friendship.

Liu Che didn't have an official title on him, and he didn't know why Lu Buwei took him there, but no one dared to stop the people Lu Buwei took with him.

The maids and waiters in the inner garden were all very responsible, they just walked softly with their heads down, and saluted when they met Lu Buwei, and when Lu Buwei walked in with Liu Che, there would be waiters waiting.

The waiter stepped forward to salute, and said: "Your Majesty feels refreshed today, please go to the garden to talk to the prime minister."

Lu Buwei nodded and followed the waiter away.

Sure enough, King Qin could be seen from a distance in the garden. There was a soft couch in the garden. King Qin sat on the couch with a haggard sallow face, wrapped in a thick quilt. No matter how Liu Che looked at it, he didn't think it meant "refreshing".

I'm afraid that the king of Qin will die soon.

Sitting next to the King of Qin, there was also a lady with a pretty face. Although she was not a young woman, the years made her look more charming and enchanting.

The woman was sitting beside the King of Qin serving him, she raised her head inadvertently, and saw Lu Buwei approaching, the woman immediately covered her mouth and smiled, it really was Bai Mei suddenly.

The waiter walked over and saluted, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is here."

King Qin was wrapped in a quilt, closing his eyes and resting his mind. After hearing what the waiter said, he slowly opened his eyes. His dim eyes seemed to be full of exhaustion.

The King of Qin looked up and saw Lu Buwei, he looked a little happy, and said with a trembling smile: "The prime minister is here, sit, sit..."

Lu Buwei thanked him calmly, and then sat down.

King Qin said: "Wang Zizheng... is back?"

Lu Buwei replied: "Go back to my king, the prince is back."

"Then why didn't he come?"

Lu Buwei said with a smile: "The prince's horses and horses are exhausted, and he has lived in Zhao for a long time. He is not used to the climate of Xianyang. He has not yet entered the king's city, but has already settled down in a farmhouse in Xianyang."

When the King of Qin heard this, he was taken aback, and immediately understood that he had been the King of Qin for so many years, and he was also a proton before, so naturally he understood everything.

It's just that the woman sitting next to her didn't seem to understand, and her face was a little anxious. This woman was Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was anxious, fearing that Yingzheng would disobey King Qin's wishes, this was a critical moment in the selection of the crown prince, so she hurried to see Lu Buwei and gave him winks.

It's just that Lu Buwei acted very respectfully and didn't even look at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was a little annoyed, she looked away angrily, but inadvertently saw Liu Che standing behind Lu Buwei.

The figure is tall and straight, the peach blossom eyes are charming without smiling, the nose is hanging, and the thin lips are lightly pursed, which makes people feel that they can't pull their eyes away.

Zhao Ji's eyeballs rolled away, and she looked Liu Che up and down without a trace, and her heart suddenly felt as if a deer was hitting her. The pink face Hanchun was suddenly flushed with a little bright red, making her look even more mature and charming.

However, Liu Che's mind was still on the conversation between King Qin and Lu Buwei, who were talking about Ying Zheng.

However, being stared at by this person, Liu Che is also a vigilant person, especially this body is still a trainer, and he soon discovered it. Looking at the other person's eyes and expression, he suddenly understood why Lu Buwei wanted to take him with him. In this way, people without official positions entered the royal city.

Liu Che knew about Lai Ai's scandal, and guessed in his heart that this beautiful woman must be Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji.

King Qin was critically ill, so he definitely couldn't be happy with Zhao Ji. At such a critical moment, Lu Buwei was afraid that Zhao Ji would drag him down, so he brought Liu Che, who had an outstanding face and tall figure, and Zhao Ji was really distracted.

Liu Che's back suddenly felt hairy, just thinking that Zhao Ji was Ying Zheng's biological mother, Liu Che's back was not only hairy, but also chilly, a little disgusted.

King Qin didn't notice Zhao Ji's eyes, and he just sighed and didn't speak when he saw Ying Zheng's actions. Big things want to be discussed.”

As he spoke, the waiter came over and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gang Cheng, please see me, General."

King Qin didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and the waiter immediately went to summon the two to have an audience.

Gang Chengjun Cai Ze is very talented, especially eloquent. He knows the country's plans like the palm of his hand, but he is very respectful. The King of Qin once worshiped him as his chancellor, but Cai Ze was afraid. He only served as the prime minister for a few months. After the seal letter was sent back, the king of Qin had no choice but to designate him as Gang Chengjun.

General Meng Ao was also a remarkable figure. He was straightforward, rigorous in running the army, and won the hearts of the army. His grandson was the same year as Yingzheng, and he was already a well-known stranger in Xianyang, named Meng Tian.

The two came over, met King Qin, and said hello to Lu Buwei. King Qin asked them to sit down too.

King Qin said: "The three of you gathered here today because I have something to say..."

He just said that, panting for a long time, everyone did not urge them, and waited quietly for King Qin to continue talking.

King Qin said: "The widow wants you to think about... the selection of the crown prince."

General Meng Ao laughed and said: "Why should my king worry about the selection? Now that the princes have returned to Xianyang, it is enough to send Prince Fu to judge... But from my point of view, there is no need to choose at all."

Meng Ao has a bright and cheerful disposition, has been in the officialdom for so many years, and knows the general principles, but he is a soldier after all, a little careless, and easy to trust.

King Qin agreed, Meng Ao continued: "Although it is a selection, I feel that the crown prince will definitely choose one of my king's two princes."

As he said, he was not afraid of Zhao Ji who was sitting on the side, and said bluntly: "Although Wang Zizheng is the eldest son, he does not need to be a concubine in the selection of the crown prince. Entering the king's city, it can be seen that his heart is different, besides... the minister heard that this prince Zheng has a surly nature and loves to fight bravely, he is not a sign of a benevolent king."

Zhao Ji's face turned pale in anger, but there was nothing for her to say.

Lu Buwei didn't say a word. Liu Che also read the history books. Lu Buwei was the biggest supporter behind Ying Zheng, but at this moment, he seemed to be on the sidelines. He didn't express his position at all, or seemed to speak for Ying Zheng.

On the contrary, Gang Chengjun smiled slightly, and said: "Dare to ask the general, Wang Zizheng was born in Zhao country, grew up in Zhao country, and just returned to Xianyang. I have never heard that he will not enter the king's city. How did the general hear that?"

Meng Ao smiled and said, "I heard what Prince Cheng Jiao said."

Meng Ao is a rough person, so he didn't think too much about it, but after he finished speaking, all the other people present just laughed and said nothing.

Gang Chengjun glanced at King Qin's face, and smiled again: "Dare to ask the general, Wang Zizheng is naturally surly and aggressive, did the general see it with his own eyes, or did he hear it?"

Meng Ao said again: "Of course I heard it, and it was also said by Prince Chengjiao."

After Meng Ao finished answering, Gang Chengjun said with a smile to the King of Qin: "My lord, hearsay is not enough to be trusted, I suggest that for this selection, we should not send Prince Fu to assess, after all, Wang Zizheng has lived in Zhao State for a long time, so it is absolutely unreliable to rely on hearsay. "

King Qin nodded, and said, "What good method does Mr. Gang Cheng have?"

Gang Chengjun Cai Zedao: "The ministers have their own laws. The selection needs to be fair. Why don't you ask the prince to do it in front of all the officials, and the winner will be selected as the prince."

King Qin looked at Lu Buwei and said with a smile, "What's your opinion, Prime Minister?"

Lu Buwei said at this time: "What Mr. Gang Cheng said is very true. Every ruler needs to be good at both literature and martial arts. The essays are written by Mr. Gang Cheng, and the questions are written by the general. No one will be dissatisfied."

What he said made Cai Ze and Meng Ao feel at ease, King Qin was also happy to hear it, and said: "As the prime minister said, go prepare."

The two agreed, stood up and saluted, then slowly retreated with hands folded.

Liu Che has been standing at the back, listening to everyone talking, just for a moment, the temperament of Lu Buwei, Cai Ze, and Meng Ao can be seen. Lu Buwei really lives up to his reputation. The trust in him is also not ordinary.

And Cai Ze had a smile on his face, but his words were unusually sharp. No wonder Cai Ze was afraid that he might be a chancellor. If he had such a disposition, if he were a chancellor, he might offend many people, how many people he would offend.

This Meng Ao was born as a general. He is very capable, but he is credulous, but he does not hold grudges. When Cai Ze refuted his words, he also showed displeasure. In fact, Meng Ao was not stupid after all, he understood somewhat , Prince Chengjiao seems to say some "heard" casually, but in fact he did it on purpose, Meng Ao is also regretful, and almost fell into the trick.

Lu Buwei led Liu Che to retreat, and just after walking for a while, he heard a palace maid calling from behind: "Prime Minister, stay, Prime Minister, stay!"

Lu Buwei paused, turned his head and said, "Is there something wrong?"

The court lady seemed to know Lu Buwei, she smiled from the cigarette holder and said: "The queen invites the prime minister to go over and talk about it."

The queen, of course, refers to Zhao Ji.

Lu Buwei didn't even think about it, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't obey, I still have important matters to choose, so I can only visit the queen another day."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a woman's voice, and said with a slightly sarcastic smile: "Oh, it's really amazing, it's the prime minister."

As the voice said, she saw a person coming out from behind a tree not far away, it was Zhao Ji who was dressed alluringly and enchantingly.

Zhao Ji waved her feather fan and walked over slowly with lotus steps, her face was clearly displeased, she said: "Your prime minister is so busy, you don't even have time to talk?"

Although Zhao Ji said so, she glanced at Liu Che, and the corners of her mouth could not be concealed. Lu Buwei found Zhao Ji's expression, which was exactly what she wanted, but Lu Buwei didn't show it.

He just cupped his hands and said: "I really have something to do, I dare not lie to the queen."

Zhao Ji shook her feather fan and said, "Okay, the prime minister is a busy man..."

As she spoke, Liu Che never raised his head to look at the other party. Zhao Ji was a little anxious, pretending to be casual and said: "The person behind you has...a strange face, who is it?"

It has not been a day or two for Lao Ai to be a diner in Lu Buwei's mansion. At first, Lu Buwei just liked his kung fu, but this Lao Ai is naturally romantic, and his face is even more provocative, so Lu Buwei came up with such a coup, which happened to be I can get rid of Zhao Ji's ties.

Lai Ai usually tends to follow others, greedy for cheap, and loves to flatter. Lu Buwei thought that he would immediately flatter Zhao Ji at this moment. After all, Zhao Ji was born with a natural beauty and a natural charm. It has charm.

Lu Buwei was a little strange. It was really strange that a lustful and power-hungry person like Lao Ai was unmoved at this time. But after thinking about it, it was actually true. The King of Qin had not died yet, so he was hooking up with the queen at this time , the risk is also great.

Lu Buwei thought about it, but felt that Lai Ai was thoughtful and thoughtful, and she was a useful person, so he said immediately: "This is Lai Ai, a diner in the minister's mansion. I have something to do, so I can't stay for long."

With that said, he bowed to the queen and retreated.

Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Lu Buwei out of the royal city. As soon as he left the royal city, he saw Wang Wan, who was busy in the world, with a anxious expression on his face, as if he was waiting for someone, and beside him was the young boy Zhao Gao who was also busy.

As soon as Wang Wan saw Lu Buwei, she hurried up to meet him, and Lu Buwei smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

Wang Wan asked, "Is the prince okay?"

Lu Buwei said: "The prince is fine, he has already settled in the farmhouse in the north of the city."

"Farmhouse?" Wang Wan thought about it, and immediately understood, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's good, I got separated from the prince on the road, and I have to rely on Lai Ai to escort the prince."

Lu Buwei said: "The prince now lives alone in the farmhouse. I Wang Nian, the prince, first arrived in Xianyang, and the water and soil were not acclimatized. I specially sent someone to serve in the farmhouse. Wang Wan, this selection does not exclude the prince Fu, but the prince returned to Xianyang at the beginning, and there is no teacher. , I invite you to go to the farmhouse and be the servant of Prince Zheng."

Wang Wan was a little surprised, but she didn't shirk it, saying, "If the Prime Minister feels that there is no problem, Wang Wan will definitely not disgrace her life."

Lu Buwei said: "Lao Ai also went with Wang Wan to ensure the safety of the prince."

Liu Che's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked happy, which meant that he was able to see Ying Zheng, but he still hid his joy and pretended to be very calm.

Liu Che, Wang Wan, and Xiao Tong went to the farmhouse together. There were soldiers guarding the farmhouse. There were several maids in the farmhouse, and the imperial doctor was treating Ying Zheng's wounds.

As soon as the little boy saw Ying Zheng, he immediately burst into tears with a "wow". Seeing that Ying Zheng's face was pale and haggard, he knelt down in front of Ying Zheng, tugged at the hem of Ying Zheng's clothes, and kept crying.

Liu Che's ears were buzzing from his crying. This little boy was extremely hostile to him because he was Ying Zheng's long-term follower, and now he was crying so "loyal". pull?

To put it bluntly, Liu Che was just eating at this time, and the jars of vinegar were broken one after another. Liu Che felt that Ying Zheng didn't recognize him, and he wasn't close to him. Could this make Liu Che feel at ease?

Ying Zheng also felt pain in his ears from crying, and said, "Okay, I'm not dead yet."

The little boy said: "My lord, please don't say anything depressing. You are finally back! We've arrived in Xianyang!"

Hearing Xiao Tong's words, Ying Zheng's heart felt hot, and he suddenly rolled over, feeling a lot of emotion.

Ying Zheng sighed softly and said, "Yes, I'm finally back."

What he said meant a lot, and that complicated feeling made Liu Che suffocate. He felt that this feeling was too similar.

When Liu Che went to visit Ying Zheng again, Ying Zheng also gave him a cold look, which made Liu Che's back go numb. He didn't know what the other party was thinking, but Ying Zheng didn't take a second look at him, he had already closed his eyes, and stood still. Retreat and rest.
