Amidst the surging undercurrents and the competition between various forces, the situation in Lishan Camp is very strange.
Originally, the main general Wang Jian was not here, so the deputy general should be the leader.
Ying Gan came with the Empress Dowager's order to take over the camp, and the deputy general gave up his position with half a push. Then Xiong Dian, Lord of Changwen, brought Wang Ling to take over the camp.
Xiong Qi presided over the court, and Xiong Dian finally suppressed the Queen Mother clan, but unfortunately he did not have much control over the military.
Lao Ai did not compete with Xiong Dian over the matter of being the leader of Mount Li. Because in his eyes, when the time comes, even Xiong Qi will be finished, let alone you, Xiong Dian.
Xiong Qi was actively mobilizing in Xianyang again, waiting for the day of the coronation ceremony. With a royal order from Ying Zheng, he would be able to eradicate Lao Ai and Lu Buwei. From then on, the Chu clan in the Qin Dynasty had the final say.
The day is coming soon, and Ying Zheng is about to leave for Yongcheng with his important ministers and clan members.
In April, enjoying the spring breeze, one looks at the sky, white clouds embrace the sun. The dragon and tiger cavalry are high-spirited and majestic, and the royal guards of honor are densely packed and excited.
Lu Yan rode a horse and walked slowly behind the imperial driver, looking at the team of officials.
The imperial censor, Feng Chang, Lang Zhongling, Tai Pu, Dian Ke, Zong Zheng, etc. are all listed.
This trip to Yongcheng, except for the people in the palace, everyone who could have some importance in the court had to accompany him to witness the crowning of the King of Qin.
Only Prime Minister Lu Buwei is in confinement, and Nei Shisi's escort was "seriously injured" before, so these two people stayed in Xianyang.
"drive--"
In Xianyang City, a horse was riding fast and whipping, rushing towards the city gate.
Just when the imperial driver had already left Xianyang, this horseman rode past and stopped in front of the team.
"Whoever dares to stop the imperial driver, guard, take it down for me!"
The dragon and tiger cavalry immediately caught the man off his horse.
Although this man was arrested, he kept shouting: "Your Majesty, Tingwei's Mansion is reporting urgently. Tingwei's Mansion is reporting urgently!"
Ying Zheng, who was sitting in the car, opened the curtains and said, "What is the urgent report from Tingwei Mansion? Do you need to stop my car from driving to Yongcheng?"
"I don't know, I just know that the case of Gan Luo's assassination has been resolved. Lord Tingwei said that the matter was of great importance, so he asked me to go ahead and stop the king's chariot. I also asked the king to punish him."
"drive!"
"drive!"
After a while, Tingwei arrived with his men and horses, rolled his saddle and dismounted, "Your Majesty, the main envoy of Gan Luo's assassination has been found out, and it is none other than Changping Lord Xiong Qi!"
Ying Zheng immediately hit the car window with a heavy blow, "What?! This is impossible!"
The three armies were in commotion and the honor guard was unstable.
The Queen Mother Huayang who was accompanying her was sitting in the car and heard the news. She couldn't hold on and fainted after the whole world was spinning.
The maid next to her frantically called for a doctor.
Xiong Qi immediately understood that this was Lao Ai's frame-up, but at this point in time, he had no choice but to lie on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged~"
Ying Zheng took a few "thump thump thump" steps, ran out of the car, threw away Che Fu Ling who was supporting him, and asked Ting Wei, "My cousin wants to kill me! Is this result of Ting Wei's house serious?"
"Your Majesty, even though Gan Luo is twelve years old, he has endured numerous punishments and survived. Even his ministers are amazed by his character.
I expected that Gan Luo was so tough-talking, because the person behind the scenes must have a soft spot. Sure enough, after some investigation and trickery, Gan Luo finally confessed.
Before that, Gan Luo was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao, and became famous all over the world. He was the successor to Prime Minister Lu, and Lord Changping was deeply afraid. So he took advantage of the situation when he moved to the palace and the people were in disarray, kidnapped Gan Luo, and threatened Gan Luo to assassinate her."
Xiong Qi knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Absurd! Once Gan Luo is assassinated, everyone will be implicated, how can he agree to it?!"
"After Gan Luo's assassination, Lu Xiangshou was implicated and closed his palace, and no one in the court dared to compete with Lord Changping.
These days, Tingwei's Mansion has been paying close attention to all the developments in the Changping Lord's Mansion. He wants to take advantage of the king's crown to carry out rebellion. After this is accomplished, it will naturally make Ganluo's family safe."
Tingwei pointed at Xiong Qi sternly, "This is why Gan Luo is willing to be controlled by you. Also, Gan's mother captured by Tingwei's Mansion has disappeared. She must be your back-up to coerce Gan Luo! Changping Lord, you
What more quibbles are there!”
"You bastard! Why bother to accuse me of any crime? Your Majesty, I have been wronged~"
Xiong Qi was kowtowing continuously, and all the officials were talking about it.
What Tingwei said does sound like an astonishing truth. Moreover, the fight between Xiong Qi and Lu Buwei has been rumored for a long time.
These days, Xiong has assumed great power and mobilized people frequently. Could it be that he is preparing to commit rebellion?
Ying Zheng raised his head to the sky with tears in his eyes, "Cousin, I believe in you and will never betray you!"
Xiong Qi was moved and cried: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty for your trust. Thank you so much for Your Majesty's trust..."
"Send Lord Changping to Tingwei's Mansion and wait for me to return from Yongcheng before we review this matter." After speaking, Ying Zheng pointed at Tingwei with his finger, "Tingwei, if my cousin has damaged half of a hair, you are the only one to ask me.
!”
Tingwei immediately accepted the order, "No! Come, please bring Lord Changping back to Tingwei's mansion."
"Let's drive!"
Lu Yan looked at Xiong Qi who was being dragged away in embarrassment, with an expressionless expression on his face, "Mr. Changping, I'm sorry. During the chaos of Lao Ai, you Chu Xi couldn't even get a sip of soup!"
The car going to Yongcheng continued on, and there was an uproar in Xianyang City over this incident.
Nei Shifu
The internal historian is already neatly dressed and sitting on the main seat with his sword in hand.
"Report, Xiong Qi has been captured and sent to Tingwei Mansion."
"Okay! Let everyone get ready. When the time comes, immediately attack the Prime Minister's Mansion and take Lu Buwei's head."
"promise."
Prime Minister's Mansion
When Lu Buwei got the news that Xiong Qi had been captured, he was shocked at first, "This Lao Ai actually has such methods?!"
Then he thought for a while and suddenly laughed up to the sky. The laughter lingered in the house and could not go away for a long time.
"Why is the Prime Minister laughing?"
The diners were puzzled.
Lu Buwei threw the information to everyone below, "Come on, come on, take a look at this news."
"Xiong Qi has been framed and taken to Tingwei's Mansion. What is it that makes Prime Minister Lu laugh so much?"
"Yeah~"
"that is."
Lu Buwei stood up and waved his long sleeves, "I laugh at my great Qin. The tiger has awakened. It will roar in the mountains and forests, clear the world, and level the world!"
Everyone, please laugh with me, hahaha~"
"This... Prime Minister, what's going on?"
"How would I know."
"Now that King Qin has gone to Yongcheng, Lao Ai's attack is right in front of us. Prime Minister, if you want to express your feelings, you can tell me directly. Don't rattle my appetite."
"Yes, Prime Minister, if you have any happy news, just tell me."
"Everyone, this is a happy event for Da Qin. For Lu Buwei, I can only say that it is a mixed blessing.
I, Lu Buwei, was originally a merchant, and I met the late king and became a great success. Since I became the prime minister, my fight with the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia has never stopped.
Queen Mother Xia died, Mrs. Han went away, and all the Korean and foreign relatives in the country were wiped out;
Lao Ai caused chaos, Lu Buwei was implicated, and Zhao's relatives abroad were like bereaved dogs;
Xiong Qi is imprisoned. If there is any change in the Chu clan at this time, I am sure that there must be cavalry preparing for a thunderous strike. At that time, the Qin Wangzheng whom I watched growing up will completely clean up the country and start the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.
Chapter.
I, Lu Buwei, have taught such a King of Qin, isn’t it worth laughing at? Ah~
Hahaha……"
"The Prime Minister is saying that everything Lao Ai did was because King Qin was pushing the envelope? This, this..."
The diners looked at each other in confusion, and the sound of swallowing saliva could not be heard.
"Prime Minister, if it is true as you said, this is a huge disaster. Even if we defeat Lao Ai, we will not be able to escape the accountability of King Qin."
"Yes, Prime Minister, come up with an idea, I am willing to die for you!"
"Yes, I am willing to die for the Prime Minister!"
Lu Buwei looked at the resolute diners below, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse, "Everyone, I, Lu Buwei, can no longer give you a bright future. Do you really want to accompany Buwei on this last journey?"
No one hesitated and shouted in unison: "Follow the Prime Minister to the death."
"Okay! Both you and Buwei will survive this battle. Accompany Buwei to meet the newly awakened king of Great Qin!"
