Lu Buwei showed he was really interested in Ying Zheng, but he didn't know if he would be devastated when he knew Ying Zheng's true identity.
Since the last time Lu Buwei brought his most promising retainer Wang Guan to Ying Zheng, less than four or five days later, he brought the so-called "master" again.
Looking at the so-called "master" in front of him, Ying Zheng really couldn't control his inner excitement, but looking at the deep Lu Buwei next to him, Ying Zheng and the "master" were trying their best to restrain themselves.
After finally getting rid of Lu Buwei, the "master" shouted excitedly, "Master..."
"Ahem..." Ying Zheng stopped what the "master" was about to say, and then drove away the eunuchs and maids who served him.
When only Ying Zheng and "Master" were left in the room, "Master" hugged Ying Zheng with excitement, "My lord, it turns out you are not dead!"
"Shanrou, what a coincidence! I never thought we would be together again!"
"Lord, why did you suddenly become Ying Zheng?" After getting excited, Shanrou asked the most puzzling question.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later!
I really didn’t expect that you were the bodyguard Lu Buwei found for me!”
Next, Ying Zheng introduced in detail what happened during this period, and asked Shanrou not to mention his former true identity as Xiang Shaolong.
"My lord, what should we do about the great elder Yuan Zong?"
"It's okay! Anyway, he has never seen my real face. The worst I can do is keep wearing a mask when I meet him again."
"Well, that's good! I can also help you convey orders!"
...
After meeting Shanrou, Ying Zheng obtained the secret record of Lu Gong, and became more confident in his future position as crown prince.
The hottest topic in the Qin State now is the selection of the crown prince. Even ordinary citizens know about this matter, but the laws of the Qin State are too strict, and no one dares to discuss this matter in private.
The quarrel in the Qin State Hall became more intense. After the pawns of all factions tested the situation, the big guys behind the scenes began to show up.
"Your Majesty, Gong Zizheng is your eldest son and has served the Qin Dynasty for many years. He has made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and should be the best choice for the crown prince."
"What Mr. Lu said is different!
Although Gong Zizheng is the eldest son, his mother is only the daughter of a businessman, and she is not the king’s wife!
Young Master Chengjiao is a more suitable candidate for the crown prince."
...
Seeing the ministers discussing and arguing with red faces, King Qin Yiren knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and it was best to resolve it today.
"alright!
My dear friends, there is no need to quarrel anymore!
This matter has been discussed for so long, and it’s time for a result!”
"Your Majesty Mingjian!"
"Now call Gongzi Zheng and Gongzi Chengjiao to the main hall together, and then listen to their own thoughts first!"
Soon Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao came to the main hall together, and then saluted to the foreigner on the throne. After hearing the foreigner's explanation, Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"Father, Zheng recently obtained a secret record of Lu Gong, which is specially dedicated to father!" Ying Zheng did not express his position directly, but said another thing.
"What?"
After hearing Ying Zheng's words, King Qin Yi and the ministers in the hall all showed shocked expressions. Of course they knew what the Lu Gong's secret record meant. Even Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with a surprised look.
Ying Zheng did not pay attention to the shock of everyone, and directly took out the Secret Records of Lu Gong from his arms, and then handed it to the eunuch who came over, and finally the eunuch handed it to King Qin Yiren.
King Qin Yiren took the Secret Records of Lu Gong from the eunuch with great expectation, and then opened it excitedly and read it. After looking at it for a long time, he put down the Secret Records of Lu Gong in his hand with unsatisfied feelings.
"It is indeed the real secret record of Lu Gong.
Gong Zizheng has served as a guarantor of the Qin Dynasty for many years, and today he presented the secret record of Duke Lu.
He should be established as the Crown Prince of Qin!"
With the final word from King Qin Yiren, Ying Zheng was confirmed as the crown prince of Qin, and this matter came to a successful conclusion.
Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and King Qin Yiren with a complicated expression. He believed that this was all arranged by King Yiren of Qin. He deliberately handed over the Secret Records of Lu Gong to Ying Zheng and then asked him to dedicate it to the Qin State. This represented a meritorious service.
Cheng Jiao was too young and didn't know the significance of today's events. Seeing that his eldest brother Ying Zheng became the prince, Cheng Jiao was also very happy.
"Brother, congratulations on becoming the Crown Prince of Great Qin!"
"Chengjiao, you must study hard in the future and help big brother more!"
"Don't worry, brother! Chengjiao will definitely study hard!"
Looking at the two brothers, brother and brother Gong, King Qin Yiren was also very happy. At first, Yiren was indeed biased towards Cheng Jiao.
But seeing how much Ying Zheng always cared for his younger brother Cheng Jiao, Yiren was very satisfied, and suddenly felt that if he chose Ying Zheng, he might be better for Cheng Jiao.
...
Ying Zheng became the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty. Yang Quanjun came to the Queen Mother Huayang in anger and complained, "Sister, our King of Qin is too much!
Deliberately handing Lu Gong's Secret Records to Ying Zheng and then asking Ying Zheng to present it to Ying Zheng, so that Ying Zheng gets the credit!
Then we can make Ying Zheng the crown prince in a fair and just manner!"
"Asshole! Mi Chen, you are going too far!
How can you talk about the king like this?"
"Sister, I am also fighting for the injustice between you and Cheng Jiao!" Hearing Mrs. Huayang's rebuke, Yangquan Jun Michen explained with a guilty conscience.
"That's enough! The Ai family has known about this for a long time!
The king has discussed with the Ai family in advance and decided to choose Gong Zizheng as the crown prince!"
"What? Why is sister so confused?" Yangquan Jun Michen showed a puzzled expression.
"Hmph! What do you know?
Ying Zheng actually loves and protects Cheng Jiao, and when he becomes the crown prince and the King of Qin, he will definitely treat Cheng Jiao preferentially!"
"Sister, you were deceived by Gong Zizheng!
He deliberately pretended to be brothers and sisters, but he didn’t expect his sister to be so easy to deceive!”
"Okay! No need to talk about this anymore!
Mi Chen, I just heard you say that Gong Zizheng presented the Secret Records of Duke Lu?"
"Hey! This wasn't arranged by the king in advance!"
"It seems that our king values Ying Zheng very much!" Queen Mother Huayang sighed casually.
"Mi Chen, now Ying Zheng has become the crown prince!
From now on, you should curb your petty thoughts and be more respectful to Gong Zizheng!"
Looking at the somewhat stupid younger brother Mi Chen in front of her, Queen Mother Huayang couldn't help but remind her that it was her own helpless act to choose a foreigner in the first place.
After An Guojun passed away, Yiren successfully became the King of Qin with her help. Although Yiren still looked respectful to her on the surface, Mrs. Huayang knew that she and King Qin Yiren had very different political opinions.
At first, the reason why she wanted to make Cheng Jiao the prince was to gain more benefits for the Chu family. However, after many days of observation, Mrs. Huayang found that Ying Zheng was really not simple.
When the King of Qin began to prefer Ying Zheng, Mrs. Huayang realized that there was nothing she could do to save her, so she no longer opposed the matter.
