Miao Du's mansion is located next to the palace. Opposite it is Lu Buwei's new thief's nest, which is as grand as a small palace and has many pavilions. The big characters carved on stone are just this domineering attitude of competing with the king, just like Shang Yang was tabooed by King Huiwen. If he violated Xiaopan, the taboo of the future Qin Shihuang, he would undoubtedly be defeated. Unfortunately, that happened six years later. .
To survive these six difficult years, one must deal with Miao Duxu, who has gradually become a "traitor".
In the Qin Shihuang movie, Zhu Ji ended up completely siding with Miao Du, not only opposing Lu Buwei, but also plotting to overthrow her son Ying Zheng.
The explanation in the movie is very simple, everything comes down to Zhu Ji's fascination with Miao Du.
But Xiang Shaolong knew that there were at least two more reasons, namely, Zhu Ji's love for him and Xiao Pan turned into hatred.
The reasons are even more complex and unusual.
Because of the irresistible fate of his fate, Xiang Shaolong deliberately allowed Zhu Ji to fall deeper and deeper under the control of Miao Du's lust, until she finally couldn't extricate herself.
Because he had a guilty conscience and knew that Zhu Ji would never be able to live without Miao Du, he subconsciously alienated Zhu Ji, adding to Zhu Ji's resentment, and finally ended up where he is today.
Because Xiaopan always regards Zhu Ji as his mother, he naturally replaces her with Mrs. Ni. He also hopes that she can be as strict about women as Mrs. Ni. In his heart, except for King Zhuang Xiang, he can only accept Xiang Shaolong as his wife. His father. Now Zhu Ji does not know how to love himself and falls in love with the notorious Miao Du, which suddenly shatters his good impression, and the subsequent disappointment turns into deep hatred. Therefore, not only does his attitude towards Zhu Ji change drastically, It also contained strong hatred, which made the relationship between the two increasingly worse.
Under this situation, Zhu Ji naturally leaned more towards Miao Du and Lu Buwei.
Just like Xiao Panzheng and Xiang Shaolong were teaming up to deal with her.
This is a fact and situation that no one can change.
Xiang Shaolong's only method is to provoke conflicts and disputes between Miao Du and Lu Buwei, and make Zhu Ji only side with Miao Du and no longer support Lu Buwei.
Arriving at Miao Du's palace, after giving his name, Miao Du happily came out after hearing the report.
This wolf-hearted bad guy was dressed in an official uniform and looked as if he had been reborn. He smiled and saluted from a distance: "I heard that Master Xiang had returned from a long journey, and I was about to pay him a visit. How did I know that you were here in such a big way? How can I afford to be an official? .”
Xiang Shaolong secretly scolded his mother for giving birth to such a heartless thief. But of course he did his best to meet him, held his hand and said with a smile: "I just met the Queen Mother. With the prince, I realized that so many things happened in Xianyang. Come and find a place for us to talk in detail."
Miao Du obviously knew that he had met the Queen Mother and did not think that he was led to the east chamber in a strange place. He met many servants and generals along the way, which showed how prosperous he was.
After the two sat down, the servant withdrew and drank the tea. Miao Du said, "What secret words did the Queen Mother say to Lord Xiang?"
Xiang Shaolong knew that what he feared the most was that Zhu Ji had unresolved feelings for him. If he could not clear his suspicions, he would not be able to win the chance of cooperation. He whispered: "I told the Queen Mother that Mr. Chun Shen assassinated Xu Xian on the order of Lu Buwei." .”
Miao Du looked at him in astonishment.
Xiang Shaolong explained succinctly, and then sighed: "If the position of left prime minister falls into the hands of Lu Buwei, then even the crown prince and the queen mother will be led away by his nose."
Miao Du was startled for a moment and then began to think deeply.
This is Xiang Shaolong's brilliance. You must know that Miao Du is very ambitious, and his only support is Zhu Ji.
If Zhu Ji loses power, not only will he lose all his power, but he will also have to rely on Lu Buwei's guidance as before.
Human nature is like that, it's okay if you haven't tasted the sweetness, but it's hard to give up after you taste it. If Miao Du were to be Lu Buwei's slave again, it would be more uncomfortable for him than killing him.
Xiang Shaolong smiled and said: "If I am not wrong, Lu Buwei and Guan Zhongxie will definitely try their best to win over you now, just like he used to win over me."
Miao Du glanced at him and said, "Please forgive Miao Yiyan, why did Mr. Xiang value me so much from the beginning?"
Xiang Shaolong said with the most sincere expression: "I can only tell Brother Miao about this reason, for the sake of the Queen Mother. Both the Crown Prince and I hope that she will not feel lonely, and I also like Brother Miao at first sight. So, Brother Miao should understand my thoughts."
Miao Du couldn't help but said: "Brother Xiang, do you want to support you in ascending to the position of left prime minister?"
Xiang Shaolong secretly scolded him for treating himself as a gentleman with a villain's heart. But on his face, he pretended to be unwilling to be misunderstood, and said angrily: "If I want to be the Prime Minister of Zuo, I would have already done so when the late king was in power. Brother Miao Could it be that you don’t know about this?”
Of course Miao Du knew about this and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiang, please don't misunderstand me. I was just thinking, besides you, who else is qualified to compete with Wang Wan?"
Xiang Shaolong knew his intention, sighed and said: "Let me make a few digressions first. The saying goes that people are not grass and trees, and practice can make them ruthless. I, Xiang Shaolong, brought the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince to Qin with my own hands. I wanted to go into seclusion here. It can be said that it is my dream to enjoy the blessings of the countryside with my lovely wife and beautiful maids. Little did I know that this old thief Lu Buwei tried to kill me many times, and also caused my wife and maids to die tragically, so I have to fight with Lu Buwei to the end. Lu Buwei The day promised by the thief is the day when I, Xiang Shaolong, leave Qin. If I violate this oath, I will be punished by heaven and earth. Can Brother Miao understand my intentions clearly?"
After Miao Du stared at him for a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "I understand."
Xiang Shaolong knew that he had been completely moved, so he stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Changping will be the left prime minister, and Wang Ling will replace Lu Gong. Brother Miao, do you agree?"
Miao Du lost his voice and said: "What?"
After Xiang Shaolong left Miao Mansion, he led the eighteen iron guards to the tightly guarded mansion where Prince Dan lived. More than a dozen guards immediately blocked the entrance. The leader of them, the chief of guards, saluted and said: "Master Guan By fate, no one is allowed to enter the house."
Xiang Shaolong looked at him sideways and said, "When you see me, Xiang Shaolong, you dare to block me rudely. What's your name?"
Only then did the captain of the capital guard realize that a disaster was imminent. He knelt down in panic and said: "The villain knows the crime. The villain knows the crime. For a moment, I didn't see clearly that it was Commander Xiang."
At this time, it can be said that no one in Xianyang City knew that Xiang Shaolong was the most popular person closest to the prince. He also held the military power in Xianyang and wanted to use a small group of minions. Even Lu Buwei could not protect him, and all the guards were frightened and knelt down.
Xiang Shaolong would argue with them and shouted coldly: "Open the door for me."
None of the capital guards dared to object and obediently opened the door. It turned out that there was another battalion of capital guards stationed in the square inside the mansion.
Xiang Shaolong jumped off his horse and ordered all the iron guards to guard the door of the mansion. He then walked into the house in a grand manner. The guards were intimidated by his power and no one dared to say a word.
When Prince Dan's general Xu Yize, doctor Leng Ting, military advisor You Zhi and more than ten masters including Yan Du, who was defeated by Guan Zhongxie, heard the news, they all came to the main gate to greet him.
Everyone looked sad and angry when they saw Xiang Shaolong.
After sitting down in the main hall, Xu Yi said angrily: "Master Xiang wants to make the decision for us."
You Zhi was still calm and asked: "Have you killed Tian Dan?"
Xiang Shaolong nodded yes.
Xu Yi and others were relieved for a day.
You must know that if Tian Dan is still alive, Yan will be in great trouble.
Leng Heng sighed and said: "I never thought that Lu Buwei would dare to risk the world and detain the prince. Now the prince's life and death are uncertain, so we dare not touch the concubine lightly, otherwise even if we all die in battle, we will still have to do it."
What a mouthful."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Don't worry, everyone, given Tianlu Buwei's courage, he won't dare to hurt the prince. Otherwise, he will break his promise to the world. I think he just promised Tian Dan to leave the prince for a while so that the dead ghost can
The traitor Tian Dan conspired to take this matter on me. If I can't force him to let the prince go, I will secretly rescue the prince. Okay, everyone pack your bags immediately and go to my house. Otherwise, Thief Lu may
It's still terrible to be willing to let the prince come back, but to use other means to kill everyone."
When Xu Yi and others saw that Xiang Shaolong was so loyal and didn't mind offending Lu Buwei at all, they were all moved and ordered people to pack their bags immediately.
After a while, more than a hundred people gathered in the square. The guards in charge of guarding watched helplessly, but no one dared to step forward to interfere.
At this time, the sound of hoofbeats was heard, and a group of people rolled in from the outer gate like a whirlwind. The leader was Guan Zhongxie.
He looked coldly, dismounted from his horse, came to Xiang Shaolong, and said proudly: "Master Xiang, wait a minute, my subordinates have been ordered by Father Zhong that no one in the house is allowed to step outside the wall."
Xu Yi and others all pulled out their long swords. Under the sword's shadow, the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Xiang Shaolong laughed and said, "Excuse me, Master Guan, if you have the warrant document signed by my father?"
Jian Zhongxie was stunned on the spot.
After his subordinates flew to report the news that Xiang Shaolong broke into the mansion, he immediately came from the government office without having a chance to see Lu Buwei. He insisted: "I have an oral instruction from Father Zhong. If Master Xiang doesn't believe it, you can tell Father Zhong
Interview."
Xiang Shaolong pulled out his long sword with a clang and said with a smile: "That's it. I also have the prince's oral instructions, and I'm here to take the person away. If your master doesn't believe it, you can ask the prince in person. If anyone dares to stop
I will be killed without mercy even if I disobey the king's order."
All the iron guards drew their swords one after another and surrounded Guan Zhongxie and more than ten personal guards in an airtight manner.
Guan Zhongxie's face changed slightly, knowing that if he contradicted or blocked him again, he would immediately end up with blood splattered on the spot.
Looking at the surrounding subordinates, they all had earth-colored faces and remained silent. They moved their hands to ensure that no one dared to step forward to intervene.
Looking at Xiang Shaolong again, I saw murderous intent in his eyes, and he clearly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him. The gentleman did not suffer the immediate loss, so he stepped aside with a smile and said calmly: "Master Xiang has misunderstood. The subordinates are just afraid that the master will return from a long distance.
As the current situation is, the matter will be handled by Father Zhong and the Crown Prince. Your Excellency, please"
Xiang Shaolong secretly cried out that it was a pity, returned the sword to its sheath, and said with a smile: "That would be the best. I thought that Sir Guan didn't even listen to the Crown Prince's orders and was only loyal to Father Zhong."
Guan Zhongxie was stunned, remembering that Lu Buwei's biggest weakness was that he was not the king of Qin. So as long as the prince of Qin had Xiang Shaolong's support, Lu Buwei would have to obey the king's order unless he openly rebelled.
Xu Yi and other iron guards put away their weapons and got on their horses.
Xiang Shaolong ignored the evil spirit and led everyone out of the mansion. With a move in his heart, he ordered Wu Shu to take Xu Yize and others back to Wu Mansion. After that, he and others immediately went straight to the palace and went to the inner court to find Li Si who was discussing the matter.
Xiao Pan saluted and said: "If the prince wants to kill Thief Lu's arrogance and establish his monarchy, he will have a golden opportunity in front of him."
Xiaopan and Li Si were both shocked and looked at each other.
Amidst the sound of the prince's patrol, more than a hundred mounted guards led the way. Lord Chang Wen, Lord Chang Ping, Xiang Shaolong, and Li Si surrounded Xiao Pan. More than three hundred riders galloped out of the palace in a mighty manner and headed for Zhong Fu's Mansion.
Lu Buwei just happened to know that Xiang Shaolong had taken away the prince's pill from the evil place in his custody. He rushed out of Zhong's father's house angrily and wanted to go to the palace to find Zhu Ji to settle Xiang Shaolong's debt. Unexpectedly, he bumped into him on the road.
Guan Zhongxie and others hurriedly ran to the side of the road and knelt down. Lu Buwei, who was left alone, rode his horse to Xiaopan and others. After saluting Xiaopan, he glanced at Xiang Shaolong first and then said in a deep voice: "I don't know where the prince is going.
Where are the patrols?"
Xiaopan secretly scolded me, but it's up to you to take care of it, and said calmly: "I'm going to Father Zhong's house."
Lu Buwei said in astonishment: "Why did the prince seek help from the old minister?"
Xiaopan said calmly: "I heard that Prince Dan has arrived at Father Zhong's house and I suddenly want to see him. Father Zhong, please arrange for him to meet me immediately."
Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, with a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said coldly: "Prince Dan has been quite interested in leaving recently. I wonder if he is still in the old minister's house." He turned his head and shouted to Guan Zhongxie, who was kneeling by the roadside: "Guan
Commander, why don't you go check it out for the prince?"
After Xiaopan and Xiang Shaolong exchanged glances, he sneered: "What Father Zhong said is very strange. Don't you know whether he is in the house or not? You must know that Prince Dan came all the way here to pay homage to the late king. He is our Da Qin
If you don’t entertain your distinguished guests well, even I will have to bear the responsibility.”
Then he shouted: "Changping, Changwen, you two will accompany Mr. Guan to see what's going on."
Lu Buwei didn't expect that after Xiang Shaolong came back, Xiaopan immediately changed into another person. Not only did he not sell his account, but he even blamed him in his words. Speechless, Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun held Guan Zhongxie in his arms.
went.
Xiaopan clamped the horse's belly and galloped towards Zhong's father's house. The large group of people continued to move forward, and Lu Buwei had no choice but to follow Xiaopan.
Xiang Shaolong, Xiaopan and Li Si all felt funny. The biggest disadvantage for Lu Buwei this time was that it was untenable in theory, so he had no choice but to eat Coptis chinensis. He knew the pain.
When people on the road saw the prince going on patrol, they all prostrated themselves on the roadside to pay tribute to the young prince, who was becoming more and more famous.
Before arriving at Zhong's father's house, Changping and Chang Wenjun escorted the pale Prince Dan out of the house.
Xiaopan patted his horse and rushed forward, laughing and saying: "Prince Dan, you are well and good. I apologize for my inconvenience in greeting you. Please don't be offended."
Prince Dan didn't know what was going on when he saw Xiang Shaolong. After saying a few polite words, he said to the livid-faced Lu Buwei: "I have received Father Zhong's hospitality for more than half a year. I will definitely pay him back in the future."
.”
Lu Buwei knew that he was speaking sarcastically, so he snorted coldly and did not answer. He even lost interest in acting.
Xiao Panzhuan said to Lu Buwei: "Isn't Father Zhong going to the palace? I just don't know whether he wants to see the Queen Mother or the widow?"
Lu Buwei was almost speechless. He didn't expect Xiaopan to be so powerful. If he said he wanted to see Zhu Ji, he was making it clear that he wanted to make trouble for the prince in front of Zhu Ji. But if he said he wanted to see him, what else could he say? He said awkwardly: "I just want to
I have discussed with the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother the candidates for the positions of Left Prime Minister and Grand Sima."
Xiaopan said coldly: "I have an idea, and it will be announced in the morning tomorrow morning. There is no need to talk about it anymore. Father Zhong, please"
Lu Buwei looked at Xiang Shaolong in astonishment.
Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly and said nothing, looking enigmatic. But he secretly laughed in his heart that Lu Buwei finally understood the domineering power of the future Qin Shihuang.
When Lu Buwei was furious, Xiaopan ordered: "Because I suddenly remembered something, I can't stay for a long time. Prince Dan will let Shaolong entertain me first. I'm going back to the palace."
Just ride your horse and go.
Changping, Changwenjun, Li Si and others hurriedly followed.
Xiang Shaolong saw Lu Buwei staring blankly at Xiaopan's back and said calmly: "Father Zhong, please leave."
Ignoring Lu Buwei again, he led Prince Dan and the iron guards away. At the same time, he knew that from this moment on, he would enter a situation of direct confrontation with Lu Buwei, and there would be no other choice.
On the way back to Wufu, when passing by Qinqing Mansion, I almost sneaked in to find this beautiful widow, but with Prince Dan beside me and thinking about Mrs. Ya, Wu Tingfang, etc., I had to suppress this idea.
