"Your Majesty, this is the information sent back from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
After some greetings, Zhanri presented a piece of folded white tissue paper with both hands. Cheng Qiao put down the tea cup and took the white tissue paper, casually saying: "Sit down."
"Thank you, sir."
"Don't be so polite. From now on, be more casual."
Cheng Qiao opened the paper as he spoke, his head slightly lowered, his eyes quickly scanning the paper, and his face gradually became gloomy.
The thing mentioned above is that Lu Buwei's visits to Lanzhi Palace have become more and more frequent in the past half month, and his stay has become longer and longer.
Of course Cheng Qiao wouldn't mind Lu Buwei meeting Zhao Ji. In fact, it was normal for the two of them to meet.
Because Ying Zheng has not yet taken charge, Zhao Ji listens behind the curtain, and the power of the Qin State is in the hands of Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei. As long as the two of them agree on anything, others can only implement it even if they have objections.
Before Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty abolished the position of prime minister, the imperial courts of all dynasties basically implemented dualistic politics.
The prime minister has great autonomy. During the Cabinet University in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, although he did not have the title of prime minister, he had the actual status of prime minister.
Of course, the power of most cabinet academicians is not as powerful as that of the prime minister. The only real prime minister in the Ming Dynasty was Zhang Juzheng, and the six ministers and nine ministers were just subordinate officials in front of him.
Zhao Ji actually acts as the king's power. This is also the most important reason why historically, in the anime, Zhao Ji supports Lu Buwei, and Lu Buwei can become a powerful official.
When Zhao Ji's heart turned to Laodu, she obeyed Laodu's advice, and she let Laodu take charge of matters in the harem and the court. At this time, Laodu could be said to have assumed half of the royal power.
Therefore, Laodu was able to create a marquis and establish a country. There were thousands of servants and guests at home, and there were more than a thousand guests and others seeking official positions. His power was close to that of Lu Buwei, and he was qualified to mobilize the army to launch a rebellion.
For the sake of his biological mother Zhao Ji, who had shared the same adversity, Ying Zheng had been extremely patient with Lao Du's actions. As the King of Qin, he might not know the details, but it is unlikely that he had not heard any rumors.
When Ying Zheng heard that Lao Du and Zhao Ji were conspiring to replace him, Ying Zheng couldn't bear it.
Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, the existence of the two illegitimate children can be made real. As long as there is such a possibility, I can't bear it, not to mention that it is indeed true after investigation.
In the end, Lao Du was torn apart by a car and died, and even members of the clan and accomplices were punished.
The mother-son relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji completely broke down, and Zhao Ji was driven out of Xianyang and moved to the Huiyang Palace in Yongdi, which was actually a form of confinement.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Lu Buwei was implicated, and from now on the Qin State would be divided into left and right, and no one person would have sole power.
Ying Zheng said that all those who dared to intercede for Zhao Ji were killed. In fact, the twenty-seven ministers who interceded for Zhao Ji were indeed killed.
If Mao Jiao's advice hadn't been very reasonable and Ying Zheng had considered the world, Zhao Ji would not have been able to return to Xianyang Ganquan Palace to live.
Today, Zhao Ji still lives in Lanzhi Palace and has not lived in Ganquan Palace south of the Weihe River.
This was the butterfly effect brought about by Cheng Qiao, which effectively prevented Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji from rekindling their old relationship. The old relationship between the two did not rekindle, so naturally nothing happened to Lao Du.
But now it seems that it can be stopped for a while, but not forever. According to the intelligence, there are signs of the rekindling of the old love...
Ying Zheng is more open-minded about those things, but Cheng Qiao is not so open-minded.
Cheng Qiao has both a liberal side and a conservative side when it comes to matters between men and women. He would never tolerate having his father's head stained with color.
Moreover, this matter also involves him, the king's brother, the Qin clan, and Qin's face.
No matter how tolerant we are towards women in this era, this kind of thing is ultimately a shameful thing.
The world can accept it, but it is impossible to support it. They will still despise it in their hearts, but they will not shout and kill like later dynasties.
Cheng Qiao's expression changed as he sat in the chair, his eyes were as sharp as swords, and an invisible pressure swept across all directions, making Zhan Ri feel a little tight in his chest.
This surprised Zhanri. On the one hand, he was surprised by Chengqiao Jingjin’s strength, and on the other hand, he was surprised that Chengqiao had such a big reaction...
Although there are some bad signs in this matter, it's not that serious, right?
Of course Zhanri didn't know that Cheng Qiao was agitated because he remembered the past events in the anime that had humiliated his father and the entire Qin Kingdom.
…
After a few breaths, Cheng Qiao's expression returned to normal, his outgoing breath was restrained, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Zhao Ji is a woman who likes romance by nature and can't bear loneliness. She is a love brain. Once she falls into the so-called love, she will act erratically. Everything else is fine.
Cheng Qiao doesn't agree with saying that Zhao Ji is debauched, not in this life.
Historically, there were only three men in the anime, and Zhao Ji did not hook up with other men when there was a man. Either the man died or was abandoned by a man before she changed men.
This is simply a lot of debauchery. In history, there are many modern women who have gone too far than Zhao Ji. For example, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty can't even be counted.
Although I don't have much ill feelings toward Zhao Ji, it's time to solve the trouble of Zhao Ji once and for all, as well as the unstable factor of Lao Poison.
Lu Buwei was also a little ignorant and inflated. He must be given a hard fall!
"Zhiri, come here." Cheng Qiao waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Here."
Zhanri obediently stood up and came to Chengqiao's side, bent down and lowered his head.
Cheng Qiao leaned close to Zhan Ri's ear and whispered, giving instructions for several breaths.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" Zhan Ri asked with surprise on his face.
"Just do it."
"Remember to be patient, take advantage of the situation, take your time, don't force it, don't appear deliberate."
After hearing Cheng Qiao's detailed instructions, Zhan Ri already understood Cheng Qiao's determination and couldn't help but mourn for some people in his heart.
"My subordinates understand and will definitely complete the task."
Zhanri lowered his head and took a few steps back, bent down and cupped his hands, saying respectfully.
Cheng Qiao nodded slightly, waved his hand, bowed to the sun once more, then turned and left.
…
After three days, there is a holiday.
Zhao Gao, who was the chief chamberlain of Zhilan Palace, had some free time, and because he had established a firm foothold in the palace, he was in a good mood, so he asked Zhao Ji for a half-day leave, got on the carriage and started on the way home.
In the carriage, Zhao Gao, who was wearing a black and red official robe, with dark red hair exposed under a high hat, and a face as pale as snow, was leaning on the pillow with his eyes closed and concentrating. His right hand was casually placed on his right leg, his fingertips were slender, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
, with a lazy posture and looks very relaxed.
"Why did it stop suddenly?"
Zhao Gao suddenly opened a pair of deep eyes, and a slightly sharp voice sounded. Although his tone was calm, it scared the people outside to stutter.
"Qi... Sir, someone blocked the road and handed over a name card."
"Pass it in."
"Here."
When Zhao Gao saw the famous calligraphy card, he understood that the owner of the famous calligraphy card had an extraordinary origin. It was gold-edged and silver-patterned on a black background. It was noble and solemn, exquisite and gorgeous. This kind of famous calligraphy card was not something that ordinary dignitaries could afford. Generally, only top-level dignitaries could afford it. In his heart,
I couldn't help but become solemn.
After taking the name card and opening it, Zhao Gao went straight to look at the signature at the back. On the bright red mark were written six small characters in seal script, "Chang'an Jun Ying Cheng Qiao".
Zhao Gao was shocked. He looked at it from the beginning and quickly understood that it was an invitation letter. He had many doubts in his heart.
My status and power are so different, why would this person suddenly come to me?
It's definitely not just wanting to get to know me, there must be something going on...
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing?
Should I go or not?
I was so confused that I actually had no choice at all...
