Chapter 131: Kill the Empress Huayang and seal the Guan Neihou!
Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu took their seats in the main hall of Zhuyang Palace.
Zhao Ji smiled warmly: "You have been working hard for a long time, are you hungry?"
"Pass on the banquet!"
A large group of palace maids entered the main hall carrying the food cauldron and placed it on the third floor. In front of others, Zhao Ji looked at Ying Chengyu gently: "Eat quickly."
Ying Chengyu bowed his hands and said, "Wei!"
After saying that, Ying Chengyu put down his chopsticks towards the roasted mutton in the cauldron.
Picking up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and putting it into his mouth, Ying Chengxiao nodded repeatedly: "It tastes delicious!"
Zhao Ji's smile became gentler: "This is sent from Qiang land. The lamb is slowly roasted over a slow fire, and some special spices from the various countries in the city are added to it. The taste is extraordinary!”
“Try that fish again?”
Ying Chengqiao took a large piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then slapped the table: "Cai!"
"This fish is so fresh!"
To prevent Zhao Ji from poisoning the meal , Ying Chengyu quickly ate all the dishes in the food cauldron to help Ying Zheng test the poison.
But in Zhao Ji’s opinion, this is simply too cute!
And being able to eat represents strong physical strength, a strong body, and high energy in this era, which are very excellent qualities.
So Zhao Ji smiled even more happily, and the feathers on the crown of her head fluttered happily: "It's delicious, please eat more!"
Ying Chengyu nodded in agreement, and smiled when he felt that there was nothing strange about his body. Greeting: "Brother Wang, you should also eat more."
"The meals prepared by the Queen Mother are hard to say, just one word."
"Colorful!"
Ying Chengxuan showed great enthusiasm for Ying Zheng, and Zhao Ji also showed a smile to Ying Zheng: "Zheng'er, you should also eat more."
"I remember that you love beef the most." Zhao Ji waved to the female officer and said, "Pass on the food and ask them to roast more beef."
Ying Zheng was almost stupid.
God knows how many years Zhao Ji has not been so gentle and considerate to him!
Ten years?
Twelve years?
Maybe longer!
It’s been so long that Ying Zheng has forgotten about it!
Although Ying Zheng’s favorite food is not beef at all, Ying Zheng has never eaten a bite of beef in his life to avoid imitating others!
But Zhao Ji’s concern still moved Ying Zheng.
Mother, if you always treat your son like this, how could you and I get to where we are now!
Forcibly controlling his vocal cords to make his voice less trembling, Ying Zheng said warmly: "Queen Mother, there is no need to go to such trouble."
Zhao Ji responded casually: "It's not a big trouble. The most important thing is that Zheng'er is satisfied with what he eats."
Whether you like to eat or not, don’t stop Gutou from feeding Xiaoer delicious food!
The atmosphere in Zhuyang Palace was harmonious. Ying Zheng slowly enjoyed the food, looking at the smile Zhao Ji occasionally gave him, wishing that time would slow down a little bit, and then a little slower!
But the development of objective things does not depend on human will.
At the same time, Ying Zheng was enjoying the rare warmth in Zhuyang Palace.
Xianyang City.
More than twenty important officials of the imperial court with a rank of one thousand shi or above, and more than a hundred officials from various ministries with a rank of 600 shi or above, all wearing armor and carrying Qin swords at their waists, gathered in Xianyang County Yamen!
Huang Jie stood in the backyard of the Xianyang County government office with a wine cup in hand, looking up at the sky: "The sky is gloomy, I think there will be snow."
"It is a good weather for murder and arson."
The day after Ying Zheng left Xianyang City, 30% of the middle and high-level officials in Xianyang County were "discovered" for illegal and criminal activities. They were dismissed from their positions according to law and sent to prison to await judgment.
On the third day after Ying Zheng left Xianyang City, the patrol guards of Neishi County 'happened' to patrol near Xianyang City.
Today, the Lao Ai group has completed all their moves in Xianyang City, and it is now time to attack!
The middle doctor Ling Qimang also stood beside Huang Jie holding a wine cup, and said quietly:
"It's a pity that we couldn't get help from the Xianyang camp, otherwise when the snow falls, it will be easy to It’s time for blood to fall.”
"It will be easier to clean up after the war."
Huang Jie shook his head slightly: "Those people in the military seem to be brainless and reckless people, but in fact they see it clearly than anyone else."
"They know that no matter who wins, the military will ultimately need to fight for the Qin Dynasty."
"As long as the court does not use the military merit system, the military does not care who leads the government."
"It is easy to be self-defeating if you choose to take sides randomly."
Qi Mang sighed with regret: "It's a pity that Fan Yuqi is dead."
Huang Jie also felt deeply regretful when he heard this.
Fan Yuqi is one of the few high-level generals willing to be used by Lu Buwei.
If it can be used by Lu Buwei, it will naturally be used by them.
Unfortunately, Fan Yuqi is dead.
But Huang Jie knew the importance of people's hearts, so he just smiled casually: "What's the pity?"
"The military cannot participate in this matter. It is a pity for the military generals, not us!"
"If we work together, why worry about the big thing happening?"
"My lords, drink and win!"
In the yard, all the important ministers smiled and raised the wine cup:
"Drink to win!"
As soon as he finished drinking Juezhong wine, Gao Tang, the magistrate of Xianyang County, strode into the courtyard.
"County Magistrate Tang pays homage to Huang Shangqing, Zhao Shangqing and other superior officials!" First he bowed his hands to all the important ministers, then Gao Tang raised the head in his hand high and said, "County Magistrate Tang does not want to conspire with us. The great cause has been punished by the lower officials!"
After finishing speaking, Gaotang threw the head to the ground.
Stepping on the rolled head, Huang Jie asked in a deep voice: "Do you have the county soldiers in your hands?"
Gaotang bowed his hands and saluted again, and said proudly: "All the officials and generals who were loyal to the county captain were convicted and imprisoned three days ago."
"Those who are unwilling to be used by my subordinates will also be beheaded today."
< br>"Now all Xianyang County soldiers are commanded by the subordinates' cronies!"
Huang Jie laughed heartily: "Very good!"
Kicked the county captain's head open, Huang Jie I walked into the front yard of the county government office.
The ground was full of corpses and blood as soon as he saw it. More than a thousand city guards were breathing heavily, their swords stained with blood.
But when they saw Huang Jie, the city guards hurriedly handed over their hands:
"Meet Shangguan!"
Huang Jie walked towards the crowd and said loudly: "My officer, Great Qin Weiwei, your Majesty is exhausted!”
The city guards couldn’t help but feel a commotion.
Weiwei!
Although you can often see high-ranking officials in Xianyang City, it is the first time for many city guards to see an official as big as Wei Wei in real person.
After attracting everyone's attention, Huang Jie looked at the city guards and asked: "You are all Xianyang City Guards, and you are well-informed."
"Tell me, the people in the city How old are the children of noble families?”
The city guards did not dare to answer loudly, but they also responded in low voices.
"Seventeen years old, right? The son of General Jian was crowned at the age of seventeen."
"I heard that the son of Shangqing Quji was crowned at the age of fifteen."
"Isn't she thirteen? My daughter got married when she was thirteen!"
Huang Jie nodded slightly: "Some say thirteen, some say fifteen, some say seventeen?"< br>
Huang Jie's voice suddenly rose: "But why, I, the king of Great Qin, have not been crowned yet?!"
The city guards looked at each other.
It is indeed strange that Ying Zheng has not yet been crowned, and there are many rumors circulating in the city.
But those rumors can only be talked about in private, who dares to say it openly!
Huang Jie did not expect a response from the city guards, and his voice became louder and angrier: "It's because someone is blocking the king!"
"They don't want the king to be crowned! "They don't want the king to rule personally!"
“They don’t want the king to use the rights that originally belong to the king!”
“They want to steal the power of our Great Qin, and even intend to murder the king!”
The city guards were slightly disturbed.
There was no patriotism education in Da Qin, nor was there any idea of loyalty to the emperor.
They would not be filled with grief and anger just because they heard that Ying Zheng had been bullied, wishing they could risk their lives to avenge Ying Zheng.
But when they heard that their king had been wronged, they felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Huang Jie suddenly shouted: "Who are they?!"
Pointing his right hand in the direction of Xianyang Palace, Huang Jie looked at all the city guards and said loudly: "They are the left prime minister Xiong Qi!”
“They are Feng Chang Xiong Mao”
"They are... Queen Mother Huayang!"
"Hiss~~~" All the city guards couldn't help but take a breath.
The Queen Mother Huayang is the king’s grandmother!
The Queen Mother Huayang is harming the king?
Are we really destined to listen to such a private and high-end topic?
The preparation was almost done, Huang Jie took out a roll of silk from his sleeve, unfolded it, and shouted in a serious voice:
"Pass the king's order!"
Zhao Si and other ministers immediately bowed and handed over.
After a few moments of commotion, the city guards quickly followed suit.
Huang Jie shouted in a deep voice:
"The Empress Dowager Mi plotted to harm the late king, and also wanted to harm others."
"The people of Qin should kill her together!"
"All warriors are honored by the first rank, and the leader of the Queen Mother Mi is Add the Marquis of Guan Nei!”
“Prince Qin’s March 10th Order!”
After saying that, Huang Jie showed the silk book to all the city guards.
The city guards all stood on the spot.
Was the late king killed by the Queen Mother of Huayang?
Now the Queen Mother Huayang wants to kill the king again?
Some city guards felt that it was unreasonable, but they knew little about the affairs of the DPRK and had no idea what was unreasonable.
In shock, Gaotang and other city guard generals loudly shouted: "I respect your order!"
Seeing the generals responding to the order and seeing the seal of King Qin on the silk book, even the hesitant city guards suppressed their suspicions.
Instead, there is deep excitement.
As long as you participate in the war, you will be rewarded with a first-class title.
What if we could cut off the head of the Queen Mother Huayang and seal the Guan Neihou directly?
Such a huge reward made all the city guards excited and shouted:
"I am willing to die for the king!"
Huang Jie laughed heartily: "That's very kind!"
"You are not the only people in the Qin Dynasty who are determined to help the country."
"But also Please ask Magistrate Gao to open the four gates immediately and welcome the troops of King Qin from all directions to enter the city!"
More than a thousand city guards suddenly handed over their hands: "Wei!"
The south gate of Xianyang City was completely pushed open by the city gate guards.
All the horses and other horses arranged in the city gate cave were also moved away.
Gaotang rode out and saluted in front of Zhao Si: "Greetings to Zhao Neishi!"
Zhao Si returned the salute: "Thank you, Magistrate Gao."
"Next, please ask Magistrate Gao to guard the city gate to prevent thieves from entering the city!"
Gao Tang solemnly nodded: "I will live up to my command!"
Zhao Si waved his right hand forward and shouted in a deep voice: "Enter the city!"
Qian Shou, who was about to enter the city just now, immediately stayed away from the city gate. He looked at the five thousand patrol guards who were marching into the city in fear.
They don’t understand so much truth.
They only know that Xianyang City may be about to change!
When Zhao Si's troops had completely entered the city, Gaotang gave an order: "All city gates are closed tightly, the bolts are down, and the sword carts are ready to block the doors."
"Open the arsenal, and all guards are wearing armor and holding weapons." "
"Recruit corvees and move all the city defense weapons to the city wall immediately!"
Personally supervise the city guards to close the gate and lower the gate bolt, and Gao Tang's heart sank.
Every door in Xianyang City is closed and locked.
The way for reinforcements to enter the city was cut off, and everyone's retreat was cut off!
Gao Tang, Zhao Si, Huang Jie and everyone else bet their lives, reputations, wealth, and even the young and old of the three tribes, the blood of their descendants, everything they could put on the gamble!
Now, the overall situation has been settled.
When the city gate opens again, there are only two endings for them.
Win them all and make their demands come true!
Or, sacrifice everything they have to this land!
Turns his head, Gao Tang looked along the main road of Xianyang City in the direction of Xianyang Palace, and murmured softly:
"Everyone, be brave!"
At the end of the line of sight, Zhao Si's troops quickened their pace and passed through the shocked and stunned Guizhou people all the way to Xianyang Palace.
Looking at Zhao Si's troops from a distance, Huang Jie shouted loudly: "Open the palace gate!"
Accompanied by Huang Jie's call, the gate of Xianyang Palace opened wide.
Zhao Si sat on the horse and saluted with his hands: "Thank you!"
Huang Jie also got on the horse and returned the salute with his hands: "It is really a blessing for Huang to be able to fight side by side with Zhao Neishi!"
Zhao Si looked up to the sky and laughed, shouting loudly: "All soldiers, die for the king!"
Zhao Si's troops broke into Xianyang without hesitation, which symbolized the pinnacle of Qin's power. palace!
Following Zhao Si, Huang Jie also shouted: "Kill the thief!"
Two thousand palace guards roared at the same time:
"Kill!"
The unbridled roar of seven thousand soldiers spread throughout Xianyang City.
Huayang Palace.
The Queen Mother Huayang put on a gold-rimmed skirt and armor and a jade-inlaid bronze helmet.
This is a set of armor that is not convenient for movement, but focuses more on defensive and dazzling properties. It is also the legacy left by Empress Dowager Xuan to Empress Dowager Huayang.
Standing outside the main hall of Huayang Palace, the Queen Mother of Huayang said in a low voice:
“The jackal is coming.”
“They forgot that the surname Mi and the surname Xiong are related. How dare you challenge us!”
"What should we do?"
Michen, Jun of Weiyang, who is over fifty years old, although his beard is gray, is now fully armored.
Hearing the Queen Mother Huayang's question, Mi Chen roared angrily: "Pick up the sword."
"Those who dare to look directly at the Queen Mother will gouge out their eyes!"
< br>“Those who dare to criticize the Queen Mother will be silenced forever!”
"Tell them with blood the price of disobeying the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother Huayang suddenly pulled out the sword from her waist and shouted in a serious voice:
"Mi's surname is Xiong, draw your sword!"
