Chapter 127 Ying Chengyu has tormented Zhao Ji so much that she can’t stand it anymore!
Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "My mother is fine, I'm so lucky!"
Knowing that Ying Cheng was fine, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved, and reason fully occupied his brain again.
Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang have been fighting against Zhao Ji to try to get Ying Zheng to Yongcheng as soon as possible, but Zhao Ji has always resisted resolutely.
The reason is very simple. Yongcheng is where the Qin Ancestral Temple is located, not Zhao Ji’s hometown.
Zhao Ji arrived at Yongcheng in advance to cultivate Yongcheng.
But Zhao Ji's arrival in Yongcheng was too short, and it was not enough to completely consolidate Yongcheng into her basic base.
If Ying Zheng goes one day every night, Zhao Ji can gain one more day to make plans, and the chance of winning will be higher.
However, today Lao Ai asked Huang Jie to take the initiative and ask Ying Zheng to rush to Yongcheng as soon as possible?
Obviously, something different happened here!
It is difficult for Ying Zheng to make a decision before he is sure what the change is.
But if he did not express his position and immediately went to visit Zhao Ji but instead asked questions, it would violate Lu Buwei's filial piety requirements for Ying Zheng.
After thinking for a moment, Ying Zheng turned his eyes to Feng Quji.
Feng Quji understood immediately, stood up and asked anxiously: "What do you mean?"
"Both Yongshou's bed and Dazheng Palace were set on fire by thieves?"
"How is this possible!"
"How is it possible that the Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed caught fire at the same time?"
Huang Jie reiterated: "They were all set on fire by thieves!"
Feng Quji frowned: "Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed are far apart."
"Even if there are thieves setting fire to it, can this group of thieves set fire to two places six miles apart at the same time?"
"Huang Weiwei, what on earth is going on?!"
All the courtiers were stunned.
Most of the courtiers were just shocked that the Dazheng Palace and Yongshou Palace were on fire. This is a big deal!
But Feng Quji’s words reminded these courtiers.
Something is wrong!
The palaces during the Qin Dynasty were not relatively concentrated like those in later dynasties, but rather scattered.
Because Yongcheng did not build a city wall for more than two hundred years when it was first built, the location of the palaces was more arbitrary and could only be basically divided into three palace groups.
The palace complex headed by Dazheng Palace is located one mile north of Yonghe River. It is the old city of Yongcheng but has a beautiful scenery. It is mainly for nobles who do not participate in politics.
The palace complex headed by Yonggong Temple is located in the center of Yongcheng. It is the main administrative and work palace complex of Yongcheng and is used by kings or nobles to live during working days.
The palace complex headed by Qinian Palace is located on the outskirts of Yongcheng, adjacent to the tombs of many ancestors. Not far away is the Qin Dynasty where Qin Wengong worshiped the heavens, which was used by the kings to pray for good harvest, grain harvest, and heaven. Residence during major sacrificial activities and leisure activities such as hunting and outing.
The distance between Dazheng Palace and Yong Temple is six miles!
Unless the entire Yongcheng is on fire, how could the Dazheng Palace and Yongshou Temple catch fire at the same time? !
For a time, the ministers were furious:
"Dazheng Palace and Yongshou's bed caught fire at the same time. How could this be the work of thieves? I'm afraid the enemy troops have invaded Yongcheng!"
"Huang Weiwei, are you sure he is really a thief?"
"What does the Yongcheng County Magistrate do to make so many thieves appear in the city!"
"This is strange, there must be something wrong! Please summon the Yongcheng County Magistrate to Xianyang to question! "
Huang Jie glared back even more angrily: "You ask me, how do I know?"
"As a guard, I am in charge of reporting to all my subjects. Now it's just a report to Yongcheng."
"If you are dissatisfied, go to Yongcheng with the king and question the Yongcheng officials. Why are you venting your anger on me?"
< br>
Feng Quji also pressed down his right hand to stop his subordinates from spraying wildly, and asked in a deep voice: "May I ask Huang Weiwei, has the thief been caught?"
Huang Jie was silent for two seconds, but he also He had to shake his head: "According to Yongcheng's report, the culprit has not been caught yet."
Feng Quji asked: "Is there anyone who has any doubts?"
Huang Jie shook his head again: "Yong The city did not report this matter.”
The corners of Ying Zheng’s mouth could not help but curl up a few times.
Didn't catch the thief?
This is already very unreasonable.
The ability to set fire to two far apart palaces at the same time shows that the arsonist must have a large number of manpower.
Unless all the thousands of defenders in Yongcheng rebelled, how could they not catch even a single thief?
If you are not alive, you should be dead!
As for those who have no doubts?
Is it really true or do you not dare to have it?
Who else but Ying Chengyu could set fire to the Dazheng Palace in Yongcheng!
Thinking about it this way, I’m afraid Ying Chengyu has already tortured Zhao Ji so much that she can’t bear it anymore!
The existence of Ying Chengyu made it impossible for Zhao Ji to continue to consolidate her power in Yongcheng, and even caused Zhao Ji's control over Yongcheng to regress.
That's why Zhao Ji had to ask Ying Zheng to go to Yongcheng as soon as possible!
In this case, why did I let down my brother Wang’s efforts?
Ying Zheng shook his index finger from side to side.
Feng Quji, who had been observing Ying Zheng from the corner of his eye, immediately shouted: "Two palaces were burned but the culprits were not caught, and we don't even know where they did it."
"This fully shows that There was great chaos in Yongcheng, the defenders of Yongcheng did nothing, and the guards of Yongcheng were lazy! ”
"Now the thieves are lurking on the side, and everyone in Yongcheng is derelict in their duties."
"Huang Weiwei invites the king to come to Yongcheng?"
"Is this what Huang Weiwei did as a minister? Dao!"
Huang Jie hurriedly said: "Although..."
Before Huang Jie finished speaking, Feng Qu stepped forward and grabbed Huang Jie's clothes and shouted angrily: "Wei Wei Jie, what are you worried about!”
Ying Zheng finally spoke: "Feng Tingwei, let go!"
"The palace where the empress lived was burned down by fire. I must be extremely frightened. How can I feel at ease?"
"It's Huang. Weiwei said otherwise, I also intend to go to Yongcheng to see my mother."
Feng Qu quickly let go of Huang Jie and said in a anxious voice: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Your Majesty is the King of Qin, how can you tread lightly on dangerous ground?"
Li Si, Zhao Gao and other ministers also handed over their hands: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
"This..." Ying Zheng looked troubled: "Father Zhong, how should I choose between filial piety and safety?"
>
If the city wasn’t deep enough, Lu Buwei’s supercilious eyes would fly to the sky!
Lü Buwei felt very sad that Ying Zheng did not read "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals".
Lü Buwei felt even more uncomfortable when Ying Zheng read "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" deeply.
"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" does not discuss the choice between filial piety and safety, but it believes that the personal safety of the king is the most important thing!
If a king cannot ensure his own safety while shouldering the responsibility of the world, then he is not qualified to be a king!
You have already decided that it is not safe for you to go to Yongcheng, how can you tell the truth?
Does it mean that you are not worthy of being the King of Qin if you cannot do both?
Lu Buwei could only hand it over: "A saint thinks deeply about the world, and nothing is more valuable than life."
"I agree with Feng Tingwei's words. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"
Ying Zheng sighed with emotion: "How come even Father Zhong said this!"
"That's my fault. Mother!" After a moment of hesitation, Ying Zheng finally shook his head bitterly: "In that case, I will listen to Father Zhong's words."
Feng Quji and other courtiers were overjoyed. Hands over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Huang Jie sighed in his heart.
Ying Zheng was unwilling to go to Yongcheng quickly, and the second plan failed again.
In this case, we can only choose the next best option!
Huang Jie bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "I also think that what Prime Minister Lu said is true!"
"Yongcheng is in turmoil, how can the king go there easily?"
< br>
"I request the king's order to mobilize troops and horses from the Longxi camp to Yongcheng to thoroughly investigate the thieves who set the fire!"
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly: "There are thieves who want to murder the queen mother, and I cannot go there in person because of my own safety. I feel deeply guilty, how can I leave my mother’s safety to others?”
“I thought I could send the palace doctor to Yongcheng to help catch the thief, what do you think, Father Zhong?”
Lu Buwei pondered for a moment, then turned to ask: "Since the Yongcheng defenders have no way to deal with the thief who set the fire, I guess there is nothing the doctor can do."
"I thought that we could mobilize three thousand elite soldiers from the Xianyang Camp , and another three hundred men, led by Chang Shangqing, went to Yongcheng to thoroughly investigate the thieves. "
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Huang Jie's eyelids twitched: "I think that if we send soldiers into the city, we will disturb the head of Guizhou and even attack the Queen Mother!"
"Send soldiers into the city!" The strategy of entering the city is not appropriate!"
Huang Jie didn't care about being slapped in the face and changed his words directly.
He originally wanted to mobilize generals close to Lao Ai to enter the city, but in the end he attracted Chang Yun and three thousand Xianyang soldiers?
If these soldiers and horses really entered the city, what a slap in the face!
After several 'discussions' with Huang Jie, Lu Buwei finally gave the order in a deep voice: "Pass the king's order!"
"My son, Chang Yun, led three hundred of his men to Xianyang to thoroughly investigate the arson." Thief!"
Chang Yun stepped out and handed over his hands: "Wei!"
After the court meeting, Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng returned to the imperial study.
As soon as he entered the room, Lu Buwei saluted Ying Zheng and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blessing."
Ying Zheng hurriedly helped Lu Buwei up with both hands: "Father Zhong, why is this?"
Lu Buwei He said seriously: "Without the support of the King, the "New District Provisional Law" would have been stillborn today."
"It was the King who gave this law the opportunity to continue to be perfected and formed!"< br>
Ying Zheng said warmly: "What Father Zhong did was also for the Great Qin, so I should help you with all my strength!"
"After I receive the report of the "Provisional Code" from the ministers, I will also forward it to Father Zhong, who will watch it."
While speaking, Ying Zheng sighed softly: "Just It's a pity that I haven't been in charge yet and can't give more help to Father Zhong."
Lu Buwei smiled warmly: "It's enough."
What Lu Buwei is most gratified about is not that Ying Zheng helped him today. To control the situation, Ying Zheng was willing to support him in implementing the "Provisional Law".
This is a powerful proof of Ying Zheng’s generosity and kindness!
It's a pity that Ying Zheng supported the new district interim law implemented by Ying Chengxuan instead of the leniency and probation implemented by Lu Buwei.
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei felt a little sour again.
Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Lu Buwei began to deal with today's memorial, while Ying Zheng sat next to Lu Buwei and watched the politics.
Time passes little by little.
Meng Tian paced back and forth anxiously outside the door.
Finally, when it was meal time, Meng Tian found an opportunity to get close to Ying Zheng and whispered: "The Lord of Chang'an ordered his troops to send the secret message quickly."
Ying Zheng said firmly: "Send it!"
Picking up the bamboo slips from Meng Tian's hand, Ying Zheng cut open the mud seal with a knife, unfolded the bamboo slips and scanned them quickly.
【My actions are excessive, Lao Ai may endure it or become furious, I cannot judge, I am scared (﹏) Big brother, help me! 】
The first time he saw the graphic emojis, Ying Zheng almost couldn't help laughing.
Brother Wang is still so childish, writing so many words just to show others an expression?
But after reading the entire text and looking at the flame symbol in the corner of the bamboo slip, Ying Zheng couldn't laugh anymore.
Ying Chengyu gave very little useful information, but it was enough for Ying Zheng to judge that the fire was indeed set by Ying Chengyu, but the result was beyond Ying Chengyu's expectation and even touched Lai Ai's bottom line!
Now that the check and balance between Ying Chengyu and Lao Aui has been broken, Ying Chengyu doesn't know whether Lao Aui will continue to endure or get rid of Ying Chengyu at all costs!
What did Brother Wang do to make Lao Ai so angry?
How much effort and sweat did Brother Wang put in to do those things?
Was Brother Wang injured when he set his mother on fire?
For a time, Ying Zheng was filled with heartache and worry.
"Your Majesty?" Sensing the change in Ying Zheng's expression, Lu Buwei put down his chopsticks and asked with concern: "But something happened?"
Ying Zheng put away the bamboo slips and spoke in a deep voice: "I heard that the Queen Mother The palace was burned down, and the people were extremely worried.”
"I can't help but wonder, is my mother injured? Is she frightened?"
Ying Zheng sighed softly: "I think we should go to Yongcheng to visit our mother!"
Lu Buwei shook his head. He shook his head and said: "It is great that the king has such a heart."
"Chang Shangqing acts prudently. When Chang Shangqing arrives in Yongcheng, he must clear out the Yongcheng thieves, and then the king will return to Yongcheng. It’s not too late to go to Yongcheng.”
Ying Zheng said solemnly: “I can’t wait any longer!”
"Every time I think of my mother being in a sea of fire, I lose my taste for food, and I am even more in a trance and unable to act."
"Only when I see my mother's safety with my own eyes can I rest assured!"
At first, Lu Buwei thought that Ying Zheng acted out his anxious state to satisfy Lu Buwei's filial piety requirements for Ying Zheng.
But seeing Ying Zheng's request again, Lu Buwei felt something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "But I thought that since Yongcheng was in turmoil, how could the king, as the king of Qin, step into dangerous territory?"
"Filial piety" No matter how important it is, the king’s safety is not more important!”
Lu Buwei threw the questions that Ying Zheng had thrown at him during the court meeting back to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng said seriously: "I know that Yongcheng is dangerous, but so what?"
"Yongcheng is the ancestral land of my great Qin, and nineteen Qin kings are buried here. !”
“When I arrive at Yongcheng, my ancestors will protect me!”
“I am the king of Da Qin, and Yongcheng is my territory of Da Qin. How can you be afraid of walking in the territory of few people? ”
Lu Buwei was speechless for a moment.
You have really finished all the good things to say.
Is Ying Zheng really worried about Zhao Ji and wants to see Zhao Ji?
Stop joking!
Looking at the bamboo slips that Ying Zheng put aside, Lu Buwei asked in a deep voice: "Is it the letter from Lord Chang'an?"
Ying Zheng didn't answer, but it was enough for Lu Buwei to make a judgment.
Lu Buwei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Just because of a letter from Ying Chengxuan, Your Majesty, you changed your plan and even withdrew your order?
My lord, please pamper him!
Lu Buwei bowed his hands sourly: "In that case, I will order Chang Shangqing to set off immediately, so that the king can set off as soon as possible."
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei with burning eyes: "I want to set off tomorrow, how about it?"
Lü Buwei became even more sour.
Starting tomorrow?
Your Majesty, do you know how much preparation you have to do for this truth!
You can dote on Lord Chang'an, but why is it the truth that suffers?
However, facing such a determined Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei could only bow his hand and salute: "Wei!"
