Chapter 85 Ying Zheng: The widow’s wife will only be Afang!
Time flies!
Five months have passed.
Yingzi Chu passed away and Yingzheng succeeded to the throne.
It did not affect the stability of Great Qin.
It was rare for other countries to not launch troops against the Qin Dynasty. After all, when Ying Zheng succeeded to the throne, the four great masters of the Qin Dynasty had already personally guarded the camp.
Four great masters, millions of great Qin warriors.
This powerful national power is enough to suppress other countries from making any changes.
Grand Palace!
As always.
The two auxiliary ministers stood at the foot of the stairs.
Ying Zheng is sitting on the throne, and next to him is Zhao Ji.
Five months passed.
The court seemed to have received a new look.
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
“The new year’s veterans have retired and new recruits have joined the army.”
"I also ask the king to issue a royal edict to recruit soldiers throughout the country and recruit those of appropriate age into the army."
Lu Buwei stood up, bowed and started to play.
"When veterans reach the age of retirement and return to their hometowns, new recruits will join the army and be reorganized. This is our national policy of recruiting troops in the Qin Dynasty, and we should naturally allow it."
"According to Da Qin's past practice, young men and women aged fourteen and above are required to serve in the army." Ying Zheng said slowly.
But Lu Buwei did not retreat immediately.
Instead, he looked at Zhao Ji.
Now that Ying Zheng has not yet taken charge, the royal seal has been temporarily handed over to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, so Zhao Ji's nod is needed for memorials and many major events.
"It's a matter of national importance."
"It should be implemented as usual." Zhao Ji said slowly.
After becoming the Queen Mother and still in charge of the royal seal, Zhao Ji now also has a majestic look.
"I respectfully comply with the Queen Mother's edict." Lu Buwei immediately accepted the order and retreated.
"Let's start with the Queen Mother."
"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."
"Now that the king has succeeded to the throne, there is no concubine in the palace, which is not good for the heirs of our royal family."
"I believe that it is appropriate for the king to select his concubines to enter the palace, and then select the queen among the concubines to stabilize the harem." Ying Wen stood up and started playing loudly.
Hear the sound!
Zhao Ji's eyebrows flashed with emotion.
Ying Zheng frowned.
"This matter."
"I have made a decision in my heart."
"While I was a hostage in the State of Zhao, I had already made a lifelong commitment to a woman."
"This woman is the daughter of the great doctor Xia Wuji. She is one month younger than me."
"I have proposed marriage to Dr. Xia."
"Suddenly, please ask Zongzheng to agree on a wedding date. I want to marry the daughter of Doctor Xia as my wife, and she will become my Queen of Qin."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly, with an unquestionable tone in his words.
For him.
To marry Xia Yufang into the palace and become his wife is the biggest wish in his heart.
Hear this.
Ying Wen's expression changed and he looked at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji, who was beside Ying Zheng, frowned.
"It's okay to be the daughter of the great doctor who welcomes summer, but not to the queen."
"My queen, Queen Qin, must have both political integrity and talent, be polite and generous, and she must come from a rich family."
"always."
"My queen, Queen of Qin, are all princesses from other countries, with noble status."
Zhao Ji slowly spoke.
The words undoubtedly directly rejected Ying Zheng's intention to marry Xia Yufang as his wife.
It’s okay for my concubine.
Not as a wife.
This is Zhao Ji's attitude.
In Zhao Ji's view, her son must choose a woman from a big family and a good family background as his queen.
Born into a wealthy family.
Or a princess from another country.
This is worthy of it.
As for Xia Yufang.
Although Zhao Ji was grateful that she had accompanied Ying Zheng in Zhao Kingdom, she became the queen mother as she ascended the throne of queen.
Under the influence of power.
Zhao Ji has already forgotten.
Listen to Zhao Ji's words.
Ying Zheng's face turned ugly.
He thought that many people would stop him, but he never expected that it would be his own mother who would stop him later.
The shared joys and sorrows that we had in Zhao State, and the deep friendship that we had in Zhao State, seem to be gone now.
now.
Anger also emerged in Ying Zheng's heart. "As Queen Mother said."
"The widow also made it clear that her wife is only Afang, and the queen of Da Qin is only Afang."
"If it weren't for Afang as my wife, I would not marry anyone."
"Even if she comes from a noble family, even if she is a princess from another country, no one will want her."
Ying Zheng turned his head and replied coldly.
"you……"
Zhao Ji's expression changed. She didn't seem to have expected that Ying Zheng would directly oppose her and say such words under the gaze of the civil and military officials of the court.
"Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty values love and justice, which is naturally a good thing."
"Furthermore, the king has his own heart, and he considers himself to be the king of all."
Lu Buwei stood up and said loudly.
Ever since Ying Zichu was left alone on his deathbed, Lu Buwei had been very dedicated to his work for the Qin Dynasty and did not dare to neglect it at all.
Except.
He even regarded Ying Zheng as his own son and tried his best to help him.
Now he naturally saw Ying Zheng's determination and naturally stepped forward to help Ying Zheng.
"Father Zhong."
Seeing Lu Buwei speaking up for him, Ying Zheng also showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
But saw Lu Buwei speaking.
Zhao Ji was a little angry.
"Historically, the marriage of children has been decided by the elders."
"Does Xiangbang want to take away my mother's authority?"
Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei angrily.
"I don't dare."
"It's just about the elders."
"In the past, the late king entrusted the king to his ministers, and the late king also asked the king to call his minister Zhongfu."
"Based on emotion and reason, I also have the right to debate the king's marriage."
Lu Buwei raised his head and replied very calmly.
"Lu Buwei."
"You are brave."
"How dare you be so presumptuous towards the Queen Mother."
Ying Wen stood up and scolded Lu Buwei.
"Xiangbang's move is too much."
"The Queen Mother has the final say on your Majesty's marriage."
"Xiangbang is a little ungrateful."
"This is extremely disrespectful..."
Many courtiers in the court started talking about it.
Of course.
Lu Buwei was not afraid of the accusations from the whole court, and still spoke for Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty is not a child, he is the king of our great Qin. Naturally, Your Majesty's marriage will be arranged by Your Majesty."
"I will make the final decision on Zheng'er's marriage, so it's not the Prime Minister's turn to worry about it."
"Nothing happens here."
"Dismiss the dynasty."
Zhao Ji snorted coldly and waved her hand.
Then he stood up and walked towards the side hall.
"Farewell to the Queen Mother."
All the officials presented them respectfully.
And Ying Zheng sat on the throne, his face looking very ugly.
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
All the officials bowed to Ying Zheng one after another.
only.
Under the leadership of Ying Wen.
A large number of courtiers gradually withdrew from the palace.
final.
Only Lu Buwei was left.
"Father Zhong."
"Are they... forcing me to be widowed?"
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
What happened today.
This made Ying Zheng, who was originally having smooth sailing, feel a sense of frustration.
Although he ascended the throne, he did not have the authority of the king. All the power was held by his mother. Moreover, his mother was no longer the mother she was before. She was the first to oppose his marriage and marry Afang.
This couldn't help but make Ying Zheng feel a little sad.
He thought about anyone, but he never thought about his mother!
