Chapter 6 Is there something wrong with Ying Zheng’s mind?
The silk and bamboo are sweet to the ears, and the dancing girls are graceful.
In the luxurious residence of the Queen of Qin, Mrs. Huayang wore a thick golden phoenix and black bird robe and sat in front of the pavilion. Groups of attendants stood on the left and right. They seemed to be arranged randomly, but in fact they were all in an orderly manner.
Looking at the information in her hand, Mrs. Hua could not see much expression on her face.
After a long time, Mrs. Huayang put down the information in her hand, lifted the teacup, opened the lid, and took a sip of tea.
The breeze blew, and under the curtain in the distance, the best musicians from Great Qin strummed the strings. The melodious music was accompanied by the maids on both sides lightly fanning their feather fans, bringing a hint of coolness to the early summer morning.
Everyone around is waiting quietly.
No one dares to say anything.
It was not until the cup of tea was finished that Mrs. Huayang raised her head.
“I heard that Lu Buwei went to Zheng’er’s palace yesterday?”
"The empress has a clear warning." The attendant replied respectfully, "According to the news report, around half a quarter of noon yesterday, Lu Buwei went to the Gongzi Hall of His Highness Gongzizheng."
"About two quarters of an hour later, Lu Buwei left the Gongzi Hall. came out. According to the news, Lu Buwei started looking for talents after returning, and was preparing to start putting pressure on Shangyang, Taiyuan and other places."
"Oh, this old fox feels that the pressure is too great, so Are you ready to win over Zheng'er?"
"Queen, do we need to deal with it?"
"No need." Mrs. Huayang's posture was calm, her eyes twinkling under her gray temples: "Shangyang Taiyuan. In both places, our Mi clan has been in business for a long time. Even if Lu Buwei takes away a few official positions, even if he is the highest, it will not help at all. In the end, it will end up being empty at best."
"The queen is wise."
"Compared to these things about Lu Buwei, is Zheng'er really forging iron in the room?"
Queen Huayang frowned, thinking about Ying Zheng, she felt a little bit Feel weird.
The dignified eldest son of the Qin Dynasty is only six days away from ascending the throne. What can't he do at this time, suddenly go to blacksmith?
The guard nodded respectfully: "Back to the Queen, it is true. According to the news, His Highness Gongzizheng went to the side room of the Prince's Palace yesterday after Lu Buwei left, and ordered someone to get it from the palace workshop. He bought a lot of fine iron, as well as forging tools, and also took a few grains of extraterrestrial iron from the treasury.”
"The banging continued all afternoon, and it didn't stop until midnight. Even the food was left outside. I dared to sneak in and take a look, and I found that His Highness Young Master Zheng was forging iron in the room."
Hearing this, Mrs. Huayang’s doubts suddenly deepened.
The dignified eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, the soon-to-be king of the Qin Dynasty, is actually forging iron in the side room. Is it because he has stayed in a barbaric place like Zhao for a long time?
Still too stressed?
After thinking for a while, Mrs. Huayang still didn’t take it to heart.
After all, Ying Zheng is really not a threat now.
As a young man who is just thirteen years old and has not yet reached his prime, Ying Zheng has only been back from Zhao for a little over three years. He has no power of his own at all, and almost every move he makes is under her surveillance. .
On the other hand, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, in just four years, have grown to the point where they can almost compete with her.
Nowadays, the power of the entire Da Qin is concentrated in the two major groups. Even if Ying Zheng comes to the throne, the real center of power of the entire Da Qin is still in the two major groups. In the final analysis, the so-called King of Qin, It's just a puppet.
The doubts in her heart gradually dissipated, and Queen Huayang continued to drink tea.
Let him be.
As long as Ying Zheng obediently becomes the King of Qin and doesn't do anything outrageous, let him do the rest.
Isn’t it just a blacksmith? It’s not bad to play with things to lose one’s ambition.
However, you must be cautious, and you cannot relax your vigilance just because Ying Zheng is young
While Queen Huayang was thinking, the attendant next to her spoke cautiously: "Queen, Your Highness Young Master Zheng is about to ascend the throne. Wouldn't it be better not to do these things? Do you want to take a humble position?"
Mrs. Huayang's expression did not change when she heard this, and she continued to drink tea with a calm tone: "When will you be able to discuss Zheng'er's affairs?"
The guard was stunned, and then knelt down on the ground with a thud. , and kowtowed his head with a bang, his whole body breaking out in cold sweat!
"He deserves to die for his humble duty! He deserves to die for his humble duty!" "Please punish me, Queen!"
Looking at the attendant who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing crazily, Queen Huayang put down the tea cup .
"You have been with me for a long time, why don't you have any memory? Go and receive the punishment yourself."
"After receiving the punishment, continue to monitor Zheng'er. If there is anything abnormal, come to the police immediately. I'll report it."
Hearing this, the attendant suddenly felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground several times!
“Yes!”
“Thank you, queen, for sparing me!”
"Thank you, queen, for sparing my life!"
"I accept the order from my humble position!"
The guard stood up respectfully and hurriedly went to receive the punishment and handle the matter.
Looking at the leaving guards, Queen Huayang did not take this small incident to heart. While continuing to sip tea, she silently thought about many ways to deal with Lu Buwei
< br>And just as Queen Huayang learned about Ying Zheng's affairs, naturally there were spies from Lu Buwei on the other side who found out that Ying Zheng was forging iron.
Blacksmithing?
Forging a sword?
What is going on? What is Ying Zheng doing?
Lü Buwei frowned slightly as he watched the information that the spies came back with.
A man who is about to become an emperor, why are you still forging swords?
Even going into battle in person?
Beside Lu Buwei, there were several counselors who were almost the same age as him. These were the people he had summoned to make plans against Shangyang Taiyuan and other places.
They also saw this information one after another, and they all frowned suspiciously.
"What is Ying Zheng doing? Prime Minister Lu, do you want us to test it?" a counselor asked.
Lu Buwei frowned.
After a long time, he slowly shook his head.
“No need.”
“I just met Ying Zheng yesterday. It would not be appropriate to send people there now.”
“And it’s just a blacksmith. According to There is nothing unusual about the information returned by the spies, so we just need to keep an eye on it."
"Our main goal now is to deal with Shangyang and Taiyuan."
The breeze blows.
Hearing Lu Buwei’s words, many counselors nodded slightly.
Their most important targets now are indeed Shangyang and Taiyuan. These two places are where Mrs. Huayang and the Mi family have been entrenched all year round.
Taking these two places down is not as easy as imagined.
Although I don’t know why Ying Zheng suddenly wanted to forge iron in the palace, it doesn’t matter at all.
Today's Ying Zheng is about to take the throne. Although he is just a puppet and does not have much power, at this time, there is no time to stop him.
After all, it would be troublesome if he did not cooperate with their actions after he ascended the throne, or even defected to Queen Huayang instead
There was a turmoil in the Xianyang Palace of Great Qin.
Faced with Ying Zheng's sudden move, neither Queen Huayang nor Lu Buwei wanted to pay too much attention to it.
There is no airtight wall in the world. As time goes by, the news that Ying Zheng is forging iron in the palace gradually spreads in the ears of many people
