During the Spring Festival, Shangqing Gan Luo assassinated the assassination. The King of Qin announced a thorough investigation into the matter. The entire Gan family was imprisoned until the mastermind behind the murder was found.
At the same time, King Ren'en of Qin believed that Prime Minister Lu Buwei did not know about the matter, so he just asked him to close the Prime Minister's Mansion and stay at home temporarily.
After a round of purges in the Lieutenant's Mansion, the officials almost changed their appearance;
Lao Ai, the head of the Spring Festival, had part of her fiefdom cut off, but it didn't hurt or itch;
Most of the power in the court was concentrated in the hands of Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping.
In the palace of Lord Changping, Xiong Qi and his younger brother Xiong Dian, Lord Changwen, were having a drink together.
Xiong Dian was born powerful and tall, and every move he made had the style of a general.
"Brother, this time we are fighting with each other, and the fisherman will benefit. The King of Qin has handed over the power of government to you, and it seems that he intends to use me more."
Xiong Qi was also very happy. Ever since Queen Mother Xuan, the Qin royal family had been very wary of the Chu clan, and now he finally had the opportunity.
"Well, Lao Ai is setting the stage for what will happen in April. I believe that the current king can still see it.
He handed over the power to me at this time, obviously he wanted us to eradicate Lao Ai and Lu Buwei at the same time on the day of the coronation ceremony."
Xiong Dian toasted with his brother, and when talking about Lao Ai, he couldn't help but ridicule: "This time in the rotation of the Lieutenant's Mansion, many people are from the Queen Mother's family. Lao Ai really treats others as blind."
"Lao Ai is nothing to worry about. Ever since the Wu Sui Incident, his ship has been a meritorious service in the eyes of smart people. To this day, there are still people trying to squeeze into this broken ship. It really boggles my mind. Especially those from the clan,
They're not that stupid."
"They are being held hostage by Lao Ai, and of course they can't get off the ship now. However, I think they will definitely fight back when the time comes. It is in their best interest to get both the success of the prosecution and the capture of the thief."
Xiong Qi looked at his younger brother and praised: "Yes, you can already help me. I am now a royal censor, and one step closer to becoming a prime minister. This victory in suppressing the rebellion has also allowed you to go one step further. The two of us have one article and one
Only by fighting can you be worry-free."
The two of them were drinking happily, and Xiong Dian suddenly brought up a topic that had been put aside for a long time: "Did the Queen Mother ask my eldest brother to find a candidate for the queen in Chu State?"
"I have prepared this matter for a long time, but the Queen Mother Xia and Zhao Ji intervened before, and it has never been done. Now that the Queen Mother Xia has gone, Zhao Ji is seeking death. When the king crowns me, I will make a decision on this matter immediately.
.”
Xiong Qi spoke passionately, but he suddenly put down his wine glass and leaned forward slightly, "With the current king's methods, he should not let me, the Chu family, take power alone. That Lu Yan, I guess he is the one who wants to
I don’t know if Lu Yan’s backing is related to Qi State, but I’m wondering if I should make arrangements for him as well.”
"Brother has thought deeply. If this happens, King Qin and Lu Yan will definitely have another problem."
"It's hard to say. Let's take a closer look."
Lu Yan didn't know that one day he would be subjected to such a scheme. If he knew, he would probably strongly oppose arranged marriage~
He was currently in the palace worrying about the affairs of the Yin Yang family.
Ying Zheng watched the news coming from Mo Ya about the secret defection of the Yin Yang family, and after listening to Lu Yan's analysis, he agreed with Yue Shen's plan: "So, this assassination was actually planned by Yue Shen, firstly to obtain
The second reason for Lao Ai's trust is to push the rebellion to the point we want. The Yin Yang family's surrender will help us find another way."
As for whether the assassination will hurt anyone, just pretend that Gai Nie doesn’t exist~
"Now that Gan Luo's assassination has been concluded, how does the king plan to deal with the Gan family?"
"Gan Luo..."
Ying Zheng thought of the twelve-year-old boy in the main hall. He was talented, ambitious, and loyal, but he happened to be Lu Buwei's man.
Lu Yan looked a little impressed: Moon God, you really solved a problem for Ying Zheng.
Sure enough, in the end, Ying Zheng still dealt with the outcome of the assassination incident. "Since you mentioned it, Sir, he must have hoped that I would let go of the elderly, weak women and children of the Gan family. The facts of Gan Luo's assassination are right in front of you, and the evidence is conclusive. If Qin Luo is not executed,
Isn’t the law a joke?”
"Your Majesty is right. It's just that Lu Yan saw through this plan and allowed the entire Gan family to fall into this situation..."
"Sir, you know the law and are compassionate, so there is no need to blame yourself. Now Lao Ai has obtained the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the Internal Affairs Bureau has also been included. I am curious, how many people under the Queen Mother have turned to Lao Ai. Or, this is the Queen Mother's.
mean……"
How many people are there?
Lu Yan can't remember clearly, but there were quite a few people who rebelled against important central ministers like Nei Shisi.
As for whether Zhao Ji meant it...
"The Queen Mother is the biological mother of the King, and she shared the same feelings of adversity with the King in Handan. Lao Ai is so powerful that she is trapped in the palace alone. These rebellious officials and traitors must not have been ordered by the Queen Mother."
Ying Zheng was noncommittal, with a deep look in his eyes, "I hope you, sir, will be correct as always."
He didn't worry about his mother for too long, and directly started to ask about the upcoming coronation ceremony, "According to the news from the Moon God, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Wei all support Lao Ai, and even the foreign tribes of Rong and Di in the west have many
How are you going to fight this battle by collecting Lao Ai's money?"
"The only force we have in our hands is Meng Tian's non-existent cavalry. He wants to make the final decision. Let's just wait for Lord Changping and the clan to deliver the goods to our door."
"Delivery to your door, Mr. Funny."
Lao Ai, who had been sold to Ying Zheng by the Moon God at a high price, was still unaware of it and was holding a banquet in the palace to praise the Moon God.
"Hahaha, the Moon God Protector is really clever. A comet fell at Yin Shi, and Gan Luo took action during the day. If he cannot leave the house for three months, Lu Buwei will definitely die."
The Moon God was trying his best to plan for him and reminded: "Although Lu Buwei is already declining, his three thousand followers should not be underestimated, especially with the snare in his hand. The Marquis must be careful when taking Xianyang."
Lao Ai comforted and said: "The Moon God Protector has worried too much. The King of Qin will crown him, and the highest-ranking officials must follow him to Yongcheng. By then, the internal history office will come forward, and there will be the seals of the King of Qin and the Queen Mother. Xianyang is already in the palm of his hand. Lu Buwei's manpower
, it won’t accomplish anything big.”
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, someone handed over his hand and said, "Master Hou, although Lu Buwei has failed, Xiong Qi has become big this time. We are going to achieve big things, Xiong Qi also
It must be eradicated.”
"Well, this is indeed a problem." Lao Ai's smile was interrupted. He had always been most afraid of his old master, but he had forgotten about Xiong Qi.
Moon God looked around at the silent diners below, and took the initiative to speak out: "Master Hou, may I ask if there are people from Mr. Hou in Tingwei Mansion?"
After Zuo Yiji heard what the Moon God said, he also remembered, Gan Luo!
Damn it! Why are you one step behind this woman again?
He immediately asked: "Can the Moon God Protector also make Xiong Qi become the main messenger of Gan Luo's assassination?"
Luna nodded, "But this cannot be done now, but at the appropriate time."
Lao Ai thought for a while and applauded: "I think the wisdom of the Moon God protector can be compared with Guan Zhong! All gentlemen, drink this cup together, and in two months, we will establish a brand new Qin State."
"Honor the Marquis."
The atmosphere in the above three parties is very harmonious, but it is completely different in Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Ugh~"
Lu Buwei's old eyes were bloodshot and he put his sword on Jing Salamander's neck, "The people from the Yin and Yang family took control of Gan Luo right under their noses, what use do you have!"
"Subordinate, subordinate..."
Just when Lu Buwei was breathing rapidly and seemed about to kill the Frightened Salamander with a sword, Zhan Sun, who was standing next to him, spoke up.
"Lord Xiangguo, now that the decisive battle is imminent, it is the time to employ people."
Frightened Salamander was deeply moved——
"Depriving him of his identity and throwing him into the dead is considered waste."
"Hide the sun! You will not die well——"
Lu Buwei kicked the Frightened Salamander hard and didn't look at it again.
Zhan Ri understood what he meant, sucked the Frightening Salamander Sword into his right hand, and followed Lu Buwei out of the dark room.
Frightened salamander (crossed out), this killer collapsed on the spot.
Many of Lu Buwei's capable ministers and warriors have gathered together. Seeing the backbone appear, there is no longer any noise as before.
Lu Buwei lay down on the first seat, his face dim and unclear, "Everyone, King Qin's sword has been placed on his neck. If you have any ideas, please tell me."
All the confidants present spoke quickly.
"Although Lao Ai has a good trick this time, with Lu Xiang's prestige and many years of management in Xianyang, he will be looking for death if he wants to rob Xianyang."
"That's right, although staying in seclusion seems to be a disadvantage, you can still have an insight into everything. Sooner or later, Lao Ai will start a fight with Xiong, and we can reap the benefits as much as possible."
"The people Lao Ai relies on are nothing more than being able to mobilize the Queen Mother's manpower, and Lu Xiang knows very well the people of the Queen Mother's line in Xianyang City. As long as we are properly prepared, we will win."
Lu Buwei saw that everyone was confident that he could defeat Lao Ai, but he still wasn't happy.
His sleepy eyes widened suddenly, and he slapped the case hard, "I'm talking about King Qin's sword reaching his neck."
Everyone was silent.
"What's Lao Ai? Just a dog slave! Why do I, Lu Buwei, the dog-killer, call you to do this?"
Facing the angry Prime Minister, the diners were a little frightened.
After a while, someone came up with a plan: "Xiang Lu, please calm down. King Qin's plan is all tied to Lao Ai. As long as you kill Lao Ai, it will be solved naturally."
