Chapter 184 Zhang Ji: Your Majesty, I want to be alone with the Queen Mother

Crunch!

The palace door was slowly closed in the hands of the two chamberlains, and then he also withdrew.

Only Ying Zheng and Zhang Ji were left in this huge study room. The atmosphere became more and more depressed with Ying Zheng's silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Zhang Ji could even hear his own and Ying Zheng's breathing and heartbeats.

Voice.

"He deserves to die!"

Ying Zheng angrily kicked the table over, and all the scrolls of bamboo slips and pens and ink on the table fell to the ground.

Ying Zheng, whose eyes were red, tried to pull out the windlass sword from his waist, but he did not know that he was too angry and lost his mind. As the Qin sword, the windlass sword was long and heavy, he did not pull it out immediately.

This made Ying Zheng even more angry. After pulling out the windlass sword, he swung it at the overturned table. The sturdy table was cut into two pieces with one sword, and the bamboo slips on the ground were also chopped by the furious Ying Zheng with one sword after another.

As he stood, his eyes revealed a biting red light.

This was the first time in his life that he was so angry. Even if he was bullied by Zhao before, he had never been so angry before.

Ying Zheng could accept that his mother had a male favorite. After all, it was not uncommon for a powerful woman to find a male favorite, and the Queen Mother Xuan set a precedent for the queen mothers of Qin. Moreover, his mother Zhao Ji was widowed just thirty years old.

, being lonely and unbearable, this kind of thing is inevitable due to human desires. But what Ying Zheng can't accept the most is that Lao Ai actually despises his mother, never even touching her, and just using illusions to hypnotize her.

The Weiwei is the official who leads the guards to guard the palace. In other words, the guards in the Xianyang Palace where Ying Zheng is now are all Lao Ai's people. In the past, he was always under Lao Ai's surveillance, even to Lao Ai.

When he had no power, I could kill him at any time when I had the chance.

However, it was precisely for this reason that Six Sword Slave was able to take advantage of Lao Ai's absence to explore various information every time Lao Ai appeared next to Zhao Ji.

The four people headed by these are Lao Ai's four confidants, and Wei Wei, Nei Shi, Zuo Yi, and Zhong Dafu are all important positions in the Qin State.

What's more, "false father" is an insulting term, and its meaning is equivalent to some national curses in later generations, such as the combined version of "I am your father!" and "Your mother was awesome last night!"

.

But Lao Ai also has her own shortcomings, which are Lao Ai's vision and identity.

As the force under Queen Mother Zhao Ji, the Six Sword Slaves will usually guard Zhao Ji, except when Lao Ai is around.

This force has both military power and political power. It even placed personnel around Ying Zheng and controlled the news channels around Ying Zheng.

Therefore, Zhang Ji watched from the sidelines and did not persuade Ying Zheng to calm down.

Nei Shi was the highest administrator of the Qin Kingdom's Wangji region centered on Xianyang (approximately today's Guanzhong Plain and Shangluo area). He not only had administrative power, but could also mobilize the garrison troops stationed in the counties in the Wangji region and report to the Qin Dynasty.

Civilian conscription.

If Zuo Yi used his authority and cooperated with the guards to secretly transport a large number of crossbows, and a guard army with strong bows and powerful crossbows rebelled in Xianyang Palace... Ying Zheng simply did not want to imagine what the scene would be like.

Could it be that Lao Ai regarded Zong Zhengling, the courtiers of Qin, and the people as fools?

After all, the five-nation alliance is just around the corner. If a military disaster occurs in Xianyang, it will affect the morale of the army and cause panic.

The Weiwei is exhausted, the internal history is established, Zuo Yi is exhausted, and the middle doctor orders Qi...

Ji Wuye wholeheartedly planned to use the combination of Honglian and Ji Yihu to promote himself to a Korean noble family, and then use Ji Yihu's son to usurp the throne of the Korean King. This guy Lao Ai actually thought that he had adopted and trained the two Luo Yue If the child of the childhood killer pretends to be the child of Zhao Ji, he will be able to replace Ying Zheng with his two children and become the new king of Qin, and he will claim to be the master father just like the former King Zhao Wuling.

Although Lao Ai does not have Ji Wuye's wisdom, Lao Ai, who was born into a scoundrel, is more vigilant than anyone else.

Those sharp eyes like falcons fell on Zhang Ji.

Furthermore, Ying Zheng also needs to vent the anger in his heart. It is not a good thing to accumulate anger in his heart.

The information collected by the Six Sword Slaves made Ying Zheng break into a cold sweat.

At this time, Zhang Jicai slowly stepped forward and helped Ying Zheng, who was lying on the ground.

Zuo Yi was responsible for supervising the production of crossbows and transporting them to military camps and cities in various places.

However, although Lao'ai during this period had not yet developed to the point where it later had "thousands of children in the household and more than a thousand followers", the total number of children in the household and followers was at least 2,000.

Facing Ying Zheng's request, Zhang Ji looked bitter.

Although Ying Zheng did not specify the minimum price, Zhang Ji understood that Ying Zheng meant that it should not cause military disaster.

When people are extremely angry, they cannot listen to anything, no matter how close the relationship is.

I'm afraid even Lu Buwei didn't realize that under his eyes, in Xianyang, the huge capital of Qin, there was a power that even he didn't notice.

Although it seems like he is just a supervisor overseeing the production of crossbows, the actual significance is of great significance.

Having witnessed Han Wangan's situation in Xinzheng before, how could Ying Zheng not be frightened?

Crossbows have always been banned weapons in later generations, because the lethality brought by crossbows on the battlefield was too great. Even in the early Li and Tang Dynasties when penalties were the most lenient, a crossbow would be punished by imprisonment, fines or even exile.

What's more, if the investigation becomes louder, it may arouse Lao Ai's vigilance.

Lao Ai's series of actions are undoubtedly a great insult to Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, which is why Ying Zheng is so angry!

The last Zhongdafu seems to have a much smaller official position than the first three, and does not have any real power in his hands. However, Zhongdafu is an official subordinate to Guang Luxun and has the obligation to assist Guang Luxun, who is the attendant advisor to the King of Qin, in charge of the discussion. Discussing the pros and cons of government affairs, admonishing and other matters, it can be regarded as placing an informant around Ying Zheng openly.

Moreover, the crimes investigated by the net may not be comprehensive. This kind of thing still needs some people who are familiar with officialdom's methods to do it.

You must know that the Qin State combined military and peasants, and deployed troops among the people. With an order, young people and veterans who have participated in the war can be recruited from the people at any time and incorporated into the army. The internal history of the Qin State can even assemble an army in a short time. An army of tens of thousands.

"Sir... the political leaders can justifiably eliminate Lao Aiji's followers at the minimum cost, and can this be done without harming the mother and queen?"

After all, Ji Wuye was also from a noble family, and had received a lot of education. His vision and wisdom were far better than Lao Ai, who was just a scoundrel in the market and accidentally inherited the inheritance of the tonic family.

Meaning: The workload of investigating the crimes is also a huge workload for the net that currently focuses most of its efforts on the countries in Shandong.

After venting for a while, Ying Zheng also sat on the ground with his eyes red, his crown tilted and his robe also wrinkled.

And if the arrest is to be carried out, the name must be justified, that is, the crimes of Lao Ai and his gang members must be listed.

After he gained some power, he realized that Lao Ai had placed so many confidants in confidential positions in the Qin State.

Moreover, this guy actually once called himself Ying Zheng’s “fake father” in front of others!

"Fake father" is similar to a stepfather in a sense. How can Lao Ai, a male favorite, have the right to call herself Ying Zheng's stepfather?

At this moment, Ying Zheng seemed to have vented most of the anger in his heart, and stood up with the help of Zhang Ji. After the anger passed, he felt a wave of fear in his heart because of the information from the Six Sword Slave.

However, since Lao Ai did not deal with Ying Zheng earlier, Ying Zheng will not be lenient.

Although such a political force may not look as good as the four Ye Mu generals in South Korea, the combined power is enough to crush Ye Mu, and they are united internally, unlike the four Ye Mu generals who have their own thoughts and calculations.

It must not cause a military disaster, it must be justified and the charges must be detailed, and it must not harm Zhao Ji... This matter is indeed difficult to handle.

Ying Zheng also understood that such a request was indeed a bit embarrassing, so instead of urging him, he brought a soft cushion to Zhang Ji and motioned for him to sit down and think slowly.

After a long time, Zhang Ji slowly raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I would like to be alone with the Queen Mother."
