The rats around King Yingzheng of Qin are not so easy to catch, although Meng Tian and Meng Yi have this plan, but they still have no chance to implement it in the near future, because in half a month, Yingzheng will make an order to marry Mi Fang'er, the daughter of Mi Tao of Chu State, as the queen of Qin.

Although there will be wars between Qin and Chu from time to time, since King Huiwen, the kings and queens of Qin are all from Chu, which is also due to the Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin. Empress Dowager Xuan is the eighth son of Mi, the princess of Chu State, but since Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Xuan regarded Qin State as her home. Although friendly relations with the state of Chu were maintained, relations between the two countries had fallen to a freezing point since King Zhaoxiang detained the king of Chu Huai to the state of Qin. Later, Wu Anjun attacked the state of Chu in white, laid down the old capital of the state of Chu, and set it up as the southern county of the state of Qin, and the two countries of Qin and Chu officially broke up.

Despite this, now King Yingzheng of Qin did not choose the Zhao State of his mother Zhao Ji, but chose the State of Chu as his in-law. The State of Chu naturally will not object, the strength of the State of Qin is no longer comparable to the current State of Chu, so it is naturally a pie-in-the-sky thing to continue to marry the State of Qin.

Xue Bin came back from the state of Chu and brought back the letters of the state of Chu and the king of Chu, in which he said to Ying Zheng that he naturally had no opinion on this good thing that was beneficial to both Qin and Chu, and at the same time sent the list of dowries accompanied by the state of Chu.

Ying Zheng saw the list of dowries of Chu State, although there were not too many surprises, but it was better than nothing. Ying Zheng decided to use the five cities that originally belonged to the Chu State as a dowry to marry the Chu State Mi Fang'er.

There will naturally be people in the court of the Qin State to oppose this matter, and the first to oppose it is the old general Wang Qian. The old general means that Xianwu Anjun Bai Qi led the soldiers of the Qin army to take these cities with great difficulty, and now in the hands of the king, it was returned to the state of Chu because of a woman, wouldn't it make the soldiers of the Qin army die without turning a blind eye?

As soon as Wang Qian's words came out, the military generals in the court naturally opposed it more, on the other hand, there were only a few civil officials on Lü Buwei's side, and there were only a few opponents. Lü Buwei and the ministers all chose to remain silent.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qin Wang Yingzheng went to Wang Qian's mansion accompanied by Zhang Han, Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and in the palace, Yingzheng and Meng Tian who came with him persuaded Wang Jian in succession, and even Wang Li echoed beside him, and finally said that Wang Jian was upset and irritable, so he had to agree to Yingzheng.

The matter of the dowry was settled, and Ying Zheng returned to the palace and ordered Li Si to write a letter, and then sent it to Chu to agree on the wedding date.

However, at this time, it was a coincidence that the new queen mother's dormitory under construction in Huayang Palace in the palace collapsed.

At that time, Meng Tian was patrolling the palace, and when he learned that something had happened to Huayang Palace, he hurriedly took the forbidden army to Huayang Palace. When Meng Tian led the people to Huayang Palace, he only saw that there was chaos in Huayang Palace, and the wooden frame built by the dormitory under construction collapsed from half the height of the house, and all the craftsmen who were working on it fell down, and the craftsmen on the wooden frame fell down

The lower floors and the ground were too late to avoid people, and nearly 100 people were killed or wounded.

With such a big movement in the palace, Ying Zheng, who was in Zhangtai Palace, naturally got the news, and when he arrived at the scene, Meng Tian had already led people to rescue the craftsman who was smashed by the wooden frame below.

Ying Zheng first went to meet the Queen Mother in Huayang Palace. "The sons visited the queen mother, and the queen mother was not frightened when such a big event happened in Huayang Palace, right?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji gently tapped her full chest with one hand, covered her mouth and nose with a silk silk with the other, and said to Ying Zheng, who was kneeling in the hall in half: "Wang Er, get up quickly, the mourning family is not a big problem, but this time there are so many dead and injured people, Wang Er must be properly handled." ”

Ying Zheng stood up and said to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji: "This is natural, with Meng Qing and Mrs. Li here, I believe they will definitely deal with it properly, please rest assured that the Queen Mother." ”

Zhao Ji looked at the two Meng Tian brothers and Taifu Li Si who were standing behind Ying Zheng, coughed lightly, and hurriedly beat the back of the Queen Mother when she saw this.

"In this way, the mourning family is relieved, this time to build a new dormitory for the mourning family, Lord Xiangguo has contributed a lot, I can't imagine that such a thing happened, I hope that Wang Er will also compensate for Lord Xiangguo. Zhao Ji didn't seem to have the slightest interest in the right action, and said to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng looked at the almost transgressive action standing beside the Queen Mother, and was about to get angry, when suddenly someone behind him tugged at his sleeve. Ying Zheng came to his senses, suppressed his anger, and continued: "What the queen mother said is very true, and the child should keep it in mind. Since the queen mother was not frightened, the child took retired, and came again tomorrow to greet the queen mother. With that, he withdrew from Huayang Palace with the three people behind him.

Out of Huayang Palace, Ying Zheng took Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Li Si back to Zhangtai Palace. As soon as he entered Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng smashed the bronze wine glass on the table in front of him to the ground, and said angrily: "Thief, the widow has long felt that this person is disrespectful to the queen mother, but I didn't expect to openly exceed the rules in front of the widow today." ”

Li Si opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't be angry, the minister observed the queen mother behind the king and did not react to it, I think this should not be the first time, but it is not enough to catch this alone, and more evidence is needed." ”

Meng Tian opened his mouth and said, "Is it still not enough evidence to do this?"

Meng Yi replied to his eldest brother and said: "Big brother, what you think is too simple, it was recommended by Lü Buwei to the Queen Mother, if it is accused, then Lü Buwei will definitely draw a line between himself and him." Now we need to know what role we play between Lü Buwei and the Queen Mother, otherwise it will be difficult to bring Lü Buwei down. Besides, he is just a eunuch and can't make any climate, and our biggest enemy now is Lü Buwei. ”

Li Si said to Yingzheng: "The king has turned seventeen this year, and after the wedding, according to the ancestral rules, the king can be in charge of the government."

At that time, Lü Buwei will return the military and political power to the king, as long as we have the military and political power, then it is still easy to defeat Lü Buwei. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, it's one thing for a widow to like Mi Fang'er, but in the eyes of a widow, the military and political power of the Qin State is the most important, so the widow wants to get married so soon." ”

Meng Tian is not interested in these intrigues in the court, anyway, as long as Yingzheng wants him to do something, he will do it. After listening to the three of them for a while, Meng Tian said goodbye to Yingzheng and left, he wanted to go to Huayang Palace, he always felt that the collapse was not so simple.

In Huayang Palace, he carefully slapped the shoulders of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and then said softly in the ear of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji: "It seems that the king has become suspicious of us, but I don't know who stopped him behind him just now." ”

The Queen Mother Zhao Ji lay comfortably on the recliner, enjoyed the massage, closed her eyes and said: "Since the son of the mourning family entered the palace of the Qin king, he has been separated from the mourning family, together with his father, although he respects the mourning family, but the mourning family knows that both their father and son look down on the mourning family. But the mourning family has also figured it out now, they don't look down on the mourning family, and the mourning family doesn't need to echo their minds, now that there are you and me in this Huayang Palace, the mourning family feels truly happy. ”

made Zhao Ji turn over, and then walked on Zhao Ji's back with both hands, making Zhao Ji moan comfortably. continued: "Then why do you want me to collapse this palace that I built, so that there are so many more people in Huayang Palace, if the relationship between you and me is discovered by outsiders, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Zhao Ji slapped away the hands that were wandering on his body, then sat up straight, put his hands on his abdomen, and said: "No, how can the mourning family let the king agree to the mourning family to go to Yongcheng to accompany the old palace, if you don't leave here, how can the child in the womb of the mourning family be born safely?"

I didn't expect Zhao Ji to say that she was pregnant, so she was overjoyed, hugged Zhao Ji in her arms, and said, "Is this true? I'm going to be a father! Hahaha......"

Zhao Ji clasped her hands and said: "Yes, you are an enemy, the mourning family can't manage so much for you, tomorrow the mourning family will go to the king to make an order, we will go to Yongdu together, and no one will care about us there." ”

"Good. ”

Just when she was happily hugging the Queen Mother Zhao Ji in the main hall, a maid next to Zhao Ji walked in. Seeing the Queen Mother and hugging each other, the maid lowered her head and didn't see anything, and knelt on the ground after approaching: "Queen Mother, Lord Xiangguo asks to see." ”

"What is he doing here? Go and invite him in. Zhao Ji and separated, the two tidied up their clothes, and Zhao Ji then commanded.

The maid withdrew, and she did not dare to raise her head all the time, for fear of seeing something she should not see.
