Zhao Ji, Queen Mother Zhao, stayed away from Xianyang and lived in Yongdi for nearly ten years.
Eighteen Qin officials once remonstrated with the First Emperor with the promise of death and requested that the Queen Mother Zhao be allowed to return to Xianyang.
The First Emperor was considerate and allowed those Qin ministers to die as long as they wished, thus clearing their reputations.
Since then, no Qin official has dared to speak out and accept advice, asking the First Emperor to welcome the Queen Mother Zhao back.
So when the First Emperor made the decision to welcome back the Queen Mother, the ministers were confused - how did His Majesty figure it out?
The gates of Xianyang City are wide open today.
In front of the city gate, Ying Chengyu, the younger brother of the First Emperor, lives in the center.
As one of the only two men in the Ying clan of this generation, although his reputation is very poor, the position in front of Queen Mother Zhao's head is of course Ying Chengyu.
In the row behind Ying Chengyu, there are three top ministers of the Qin Dynasty: Prime Minister Wang Wan on the right, Prime Minister Li Si on the left, and Wei Wei Liao.
Behind them are the Shang Qing among the officials of the Qin Dynasty, including Shang Qing Yao Jia, Lang Zhongling Zhang Han, Nei Shi Mengyi and others.
On both sides of the Chi Road, Qin army warriors were holding bronze spears and wearing leather armor. Every two warriors were five steps apart.
It's autumn already.
The autumn wind takes away the heat of summer and makes everyone feel slightly cool.
The carriage was moving slowly on the galloping road.
When they arrived at the city gate, a jade hand half-lifted the black cloth carriage curtain.
The beautiful Zhao Ji, wearing a phoenix crown, appeared in front of the officials of the Qin Dynasty.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
With Ying Chengyu as the leader, the other ministers bowed their hands and bowed slightly.
"Get up."
Zhao Ji looked around at the ministers with a majestic face.
The ministers stood up in response.
They saw the Queen Mother, who was imprisoned in Yongdi but had no intention of being imprisoned, extending her flawless white palm to Ying Chengyu.
"Xiao'er, help me get out of the car."
Ying Chengwen ignored it and looked at Zhao Ji with a smile, saying nothing.
The two of them stretched out their hands and smiled, and then they were in a stalemate.
Later, a Qin official saw Ying Chengyu being so rude and was very dissatisfied and spoke out.
"Chang'an Jun has not welcomed you yet..."
"The truth is not dead yet, is there a place for you to speak here?"
Before Qin Chen could finish speaking, Li Si turned around and said the meanest words with the most rigid face.
The Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty was in charge of all government affairs and had the power to govern everything.
As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose someone's shortcomings when you scold someone.
When Qin Chen was ridiculed by Li Si in front of all his colleagues, his face instantly turned red and he was about to explode on the spot.
"What the Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true."
Wang Wan did not turn around, but the old man's voice drifted in behind Li Si's voice.
Wang Wan, who had been the right prime minister of the Qin Dynasty for many years, had a very different prestige from Li Si, a left prime minister who in the eyes of others relied on the favor and trust of the First Emperor.
Qin Chen, who was about to explode, blushed even more and was as ashamed as a monkey's butt, but the curse words that came to his mouth were eaten back to his stomach.
The two prime ministers on the left and right of Da Qin had the same spirit.
Li Si represents the trust of the First Emperor, and Wang Wan represents the prestige of the old prime minister.
Not many Qin officials dared to confront this majestic power.
After this small episode, no one dared to disturb the confrontation. Even though Zhao Ji and Ying Chengyu were posing in front of them, they did not dare to say a single annoying word.
Behind the Queen Mother's carriage was the King's carriage following the First Emperor.
According to etiquette.
There is no greater person in the world than the First Emperor.
Even if it is the Queen Mother Zhao, the biological mother of the First Emperor, her carriage should follow the First Emperor's horse carriage.
However, the First Emperor ordered the Queen Mother's carriage to go first, followed by the Four Horse King's carriage, on the grounds that "mother and son walk together, how can the son go before the mother".
As a result, the Queen Mother's carriage had arrived at the Xianyang City Gate, and Zhao Jidu and Ying Chengyu were facing each other. However, the First Emperor's horse-drawn carriage was still driving along, and was still some distance away from the Xianyang City Gate.
"accelerate."
"only."
Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, first responded to the First Emperor's order, then took the reins of the four horses and controlled them with one hand.
In the past, Zhao Gao mostly appeared as a close servant of the First Emperor. Today he had the opportunity to show off his duties as a CRRC official.
I don't know how Zhao Gao controlled it, but all four horses made a snort from their noses, made a short neigh, and all moved their heads to the right.
The sixteen horse hooves slightly deviated from the original straight line and made a ramp, pulling the king's chariot forward crazily, more than five times faster than before.
There is not much sand on the galloping road, otherwise you can see the image of sixteen horse hooves galloping out of the dust.
The royal carriage on the galloping road seemed to be spinning in Zhao Gao's hands, drawing an arc and galloping towards the Queen Mother's carriage.
When he was about to arrive, Zhao Gao's veins were exposed and he held the horse's rein three times in his hand.
Then use all your internal strength to pull the reins hard.
The four horses' mouths were pulled back with great force. The four horses stood up, their eight hooves raised high and dancing wildly in the air.
Tap tap tap~
The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground is endless.
The horse snorted dissatisfiedly, pulling the Si Ma King's chariot to a stop right in front of the Queen Mother's carriage.
It is difficult for ordinary people to control one horse, but Zhao Gao can control four horses like a finger.
Only with such a trick-like driving skill can the word "δΈ" be added in front of the official position of Che Fu Ling.
Zhao Gao turned around and lifted up the car curtain embroidered with the black bird totem for the First Emperor. The First Emperor walked out slowly and quickly, holding his biological mother's hand in a few strides.
She pulled with slight force, but failed to move the Empress Dowager Zhao who was staring directly at Ying Chengyu.
"Mom."
The First Emperor lowered his voice and approached Zhao Ji.
"Don't get into trouble with Cheng Xi."
Zhao Ji said nothing.
But the first emperor pulled Zhao Ji out of the car for the second time, but she could pull her.
The First Emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is rich in the world, but he is really afraid of a fight between his mother and his brother.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Ying Chengxiao called softly.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
The officials shouted accordingly.
"Get up."
The First Emperor was perfunctory.
Ying Chengyu stood up together with the other ministers and leaned on both sides of the Chi Road, clearing a path in the middle.
The First Emperor supported the Empress Dowager Zhao and walked towards the middle road vacated by the ministers.
All the ministers lowered their heads, actually having some doubts in their minds.
Why did the Queen Mother get out of the car and why did Your Majesty come to help her?
Xianyang City is very big. If you want to walk from this city gate to Xianyang Palace.
At the pace of the First Emperor and Queen Mother Zhao, it would take at least an hour.
The normal procedure should be for the Queen Mother Zhao to show up in the carriage and the ministers to pay their respects.
Then the Queen Mother should retreat into the carriage and be pulled into Xianyang City until Xianyang Palace.
Who would have thought that Queen Mother Zhao would have to get out of the car after making an appearance, and Ying Chengyu would come to help her. This was actually not easy to understand in the eyes of the ministers.
The Queen Mother is going to Xianyang Palace?
Then Ying Chengyu refused to help him, pretending not to hear, and the officials still couldn't understand.
Your Majesty has gone to Yongdi to pick up people, what are you doing?
Finally, the First Emperor's horse carriage overtook the Queen Mother's carriage, and the First Emperor came to pick up the Queen Mother and get off the carriage. The officials were even more incomprehensible.
Since Your Majesty let the Queen Mother go first, why should you overtake her?
Just to help the Queen Mother enter Xianyang, the two of them left together?
The way to be a minister is to listen more, see more, think more and speak less.
The ministers glanced at Ying Chengyu twice in confusion, then bowed their heads slightly to show respect for the First Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are willing to leave, then go...
Walking in front of Ying Chengyu, Empress Dowager Zhao, who had one hand supported by the First Emperor, stretched out the other hand to Ying Chengyu, with anger in her eyebrows.
