Lao Aiyou, who was firmly restrained, did not give up and struggled hard. Unfortunately, his hard skills were broken and the true energy in his body was scattered. He could no longer raise even half of his strength. It was just in vain.
So he turned around and wanted to insult Ying Zheng, but as soon as he opened his mouth and said four words, he was blocked by the soldiers next to him very cleverly.
"Little Ying Zheng...wuwuwu..."
As soon as these four words were uttered, the soldiers next to him knew that this guy had no intention of saying anything nice, so he definitely couldn't let him talk randomly to avoid being implicated.
Ying Zheng was not interested in going to talk to Lao Ai again and mocking him as a winner.
No need!
There's no point in showing off to a fool.
Just let people drag Lao Ai down and take her back to Xianyang. After being handed over to the Tingwei for punishment, she was quartered with five horses and five horses.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!" At this time, the Meng brothers all walked up to Ying Zheng, took off their helmets, and half-knelt down to salute.
Facing the two heroes, Ying Zheng naturally had a good attitude, and immediately extended his hand to help, "No need to be polite."
"It's all thanks to you two brothers that I am safe and sound today. When I return to Xianyang, I will discuss my merits and reward you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two brothers were not polite or declined. They immediately agreed in unison and then stood up.
Then Meng Tian clasped his hands at Gu Xun who was standing aside, "We haven't seen you for many days, Mr. Gu."
Meng Yi watched from the side. He didn't know who Gu Xun was. Although his elder brother seemed to know him and have friendship with him, he didn't speak rashly.
"We haven't seen each other for a while." Gu Xun said casually, and looked at the two brothers back and forth. Well... they are indeed similar, but Meng Yi looks more elegant than Meng Tian, and he doesn't have the sharpness that he gives people.
Feeling.
I don’t know if it’s because Meng Tian’s sky-rocketing hairstyle looks more arrogant than Meng Yi’s.
"General Meng Tian." Zhao Gao and Gai Nie also returned to Ying Zheng. Gai Nie and Meng Tian also knew each other and greeted him casually.
"Mr. Gai Nie."
Zhao Gao didn't say anything, his eyes were half-closed, and he stood quietly behind Ying Zheng.
He is a chamberlain in the palace, and it is not appropriate for him to have close relationships with foreign ministers. Of course, he cannot have relations with people in front of Ying Zheng. A semi-official position like the deputy of the Imperial Hospital in Guxun is fine.
On the other side, Lord Gangcheng settled his ministers and came over again. He first bowed to Ying Zheng and then asked:
"Your Majesty, should we return to Yongcheng first or go directly to the capital?"
According to Cai Ze, he must go directly to the capital of Xianyang. On the one hand, Yongcheng is the base camp where Lao Ai has been operating for several years. It is hard to say whether there is any hidden conspiracy behind him, which is risky. On the other hand, Cai Ze is also worried.
Regarding the situation in the capital, I want to rush back as soon as possible to see if Xiong Qi has messed up.
Like Ying Zheng, he also had some vague suspicion and distrust of Lord Changping.
However, he has learned that it doesn't matter what he thinks, it still depends on what his king thinks, so he simply doesn't say what he thinks.
Ying Zheng didn't think too much and gave a direct answer, "Go to Yongcheng."
When Cai Ze heard that it was true, he did not dissuade him. He nodded in agreement and went down to make arrangements.
Brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi also went down separately, gathering the remaining soldiers when it was time to gather the remaining soldiers, and integrating the integrated troops when it was time to integrate their own troops.
Everyone performed their duties, dealt with the mess in Qinian Palace as quickly as possible, and then returned to Yongcheng.
...More than an hour later...
Ying Zheng returned to Yongcheng surrounded by three thousand Pingyang heavy armor troops.
When the commander of the Yongcheng garrison saw that Ying Zheng had returned safely, with an additional army at his side, he knew that Lao Ai's situation was over, so he did not dare to try to take over his banner and continue to rebel. He honestly opened the city gate and welcomed Wang Jia.<
/p>
Then let Ying Zheng send people to take them all down.
There are certainly not all officials in Yongcheng who have problems, but those with high official positions are definitely connected with Lao Ai. Maybe they know that Lao Ai is going to rebel, maybe they don't, but it doesn't matter. When it comes to things like rebellion, it doesn't need to be clear and conclusive.
Get the evidence first and then talk about it.
After we go back and conduct a formal detailed investigation to determine who participated and who did not participate, we will then discuss and punish the Yi tribe who should be beheaded, behead those who should be decapitated, migrate those who should be exiled, and send those who should be sent to build the city wall to build the city wall. But one thing is that Lao Ai launched the rebellion in Yongcheng, so even if the officials in Yongcheng have nothing to do with this matter, even if they have nothing to do with Lao Ai, they will at least be dismissed from their posts.
There must be innocent people among them, but in the officialdom, luck is an extremely important part. When people sit at home, it is common for disaster to come from the sky.
After taking down everything that should be taken down and temporarily taking over the city, Ying Zheng didn't care about other things and went straight to the Yongcheng Old Palace.
Xianyang Palace is inferior to Zhangtai Palace, and Yongcheng Old Palace is even worse than Xianyang Palace. After all, the Qin State was poor and weak in the past.
In fact, the current Yongcheng Old Palace is much better than it was a few years ago. Because Zhao Ji lives here, everything that can be renovated has been renovated, and everything that should be decorated has been decorated. It looks a lot more prosperous, but
As desolate as before.
Ying Zheng did not bring any courtiers, princes, or even the Forbidden Army Guards with him. He was only accompanied by Zhao Gao, Gai Nie, and Gu Xun, who were responsible for his safety. He hurried all the way to the Queen Mother's palace.
The closer he gets to his destination, the calmer his face becomes. There is no trace of anger or resentment at all, but only indifference as cold as a deep spring and a cold pool.
After arriving at the place, Gu Xun and others were also asked by Ying Zheng to stay outside.
Neither Gai Nie nor Zhao Gao agreed with this, and tried their best to stop it, asking at least one person to go in.
Zhao Ji is already openly supporting Lao Ai's rebellion. There is no guarantee that she will attack her own son. Naturally, Ge and Nie are not willing to take risks.
If Ying Zheng has three advantages and two disadvantages, then everything will be over.
Finally, with Gu Xun's mediation, Gai Nie and Zhao Gao finally agreed to give in.
Gu Xun promised that he was absolutely sure that nothing would happen to Ying Zheng, and Gai Nie was willing to believe him. Although Zhao Gao didn't believe it, he couldn't do it alone, so he had to agree.
So the three of them stood guard outside the dormitory where Zhao Ji rested, and Ying Zheng entered alone. In fact, the distance between the two parties was only a door plus ten or twenty steps, which was not too far, but the sound would be blocked. Ge Nie and
Zhao Gao basically couldn't hear what was going on inside.
In the palace, Ying Zheng was walking alone on the bright white jade floor, and the hem of his black royal uniform swayed slightly, dragging on the ground.
Black and white complement each other.
The decoration in the hall is luxurious and luxurious, with silk curtains, jade bead curtains, silk curtains, gold lamps and silver candles, purple and jade colors, pink light and green clouds, lingering in the eyes.
At this time, the hall was empty and silent, except for Ying Zheng's footsteps, which sounded rhythmically.
He walked slowly into the dormitory and stopped in front of a huge bed that was more than a foot long and wide. There were pink curtains around the bed, blocking the situation inside, but a rather graceful figure could be faintly seen.
