It is now the 15th day of July in the seventh year of the reign of King Qin, and the Queen Mother and the former King Qin Zhuangxiang were buried together.

On the second day of the bloody sweep of Xianyang City on July 1, the royal palace opened its gates, and the cabinet and the military cabinet continued to operate.

It's just that Yingzheng has never seen a minister in the past 14 days, and even Wu Zheng was stopped outside Xianyang Palace.

Only Zhao Gao and Zheng He took care of Yingzheng.

Zhuge Liang and Gai Nie also returned to Xianyang together, and when they learned everything that happened in Xianyang, they couldn't imagine that so many things would happen.

It is worth mentioning that Shang Ying, who had traveled for four years, returned to Xianyang, which made the panicked ministers feel a little more at ease.

Zhangtai Palace, the left wing of the main hall, in the side hall.

Zhuge Liang was hurrying to the side hall, and as soon as he entered the side hall, he saw Shang Ying and Zhao Gao waiting for him.

After the three of them finished saluting each other, Zhao Gao was anxious and said, "Two adults, please persuade the king." ”

As Zhao Gao spoke, tears were rolling in his eyes.

Shang Ying hurriedly asked, "How is the situation with the king?"

Zhao Gao choked up a little and said: "It's the fourteenth, the king doesn't eat food, and I persuade Mr. Zheng to the death, and the king just eats two bites casually, and then stops eating." ”

"The two adults don't know, the king is getting haggard day by day, and now his eyes are sunken, his eyes are blank, and the whole person is so thin that only the skeleton remains, so ...... go on like this"

"What are you talking about? The king has lost so much weight, why didn't you say it earlier, you will mislead the country and my Great Qin. Shang Ying scolded angrily.

Zhao Gao also said remorsefully: "The king has an order that we are not allowed to talk about it to the ministers." Seeing the king like this, Zhao Gao was also remorseful. The king didn't even see the palace master of Wu Jue, and now the only people who can advise the king are Mr. Zhuge Liang and Shoufu. Without further ado, please invite the two adults to enter Xianyang Palace with the little one, as long as the king is willing to eat one more bite of food, even if he wants Zhao Gao's life now, Zhao Gao is willing. ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Gao, he could feel that Zhao Gao's words were all heartfelt words and sincere.

Hearing Zhao Gao say this, Shang Ying couldn't wait, so he wanted to go to Xianyang Palace immediately. At this time, Zhuge Liang said: "Shoufu, please be slow, Liang has a plan, you can divert the king's energy, and no longer be silent in the grief of the queen mother's death." ”

Shang Ying heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mansion master, when is it, don't show it off anymore, if you have any plans, come quickly." ”

Zhuge Liang also knows that now is the time to wait, if the Qin State does not have Yingzheng, it is really no different from the sky falling.

Said quickly: "Go to Xianyang Palace with all the officials to ask for your life, what the king needs now is the approval of the ministers of the court and the central government." ”

Recognized, did Shang Ying understand, and said: "That's right, Martingale will send someone to invite the ministers into the palace." ”

Although the officials of Daqin performed their duties, it was obvious that many ministers were so-so and absent-minded. Although Yingzheng is still in Xianyang Palace, they still feel that they have no backbone, no goal, and they don't know what to do today and what to do tomorrow.

Cai Ze returned to the mansion, listless, it was meal time. He took a bowl of rice and took two bites, which was tasteless.

"Alas"

He sighed, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and was stunned.

Seeing this, his wife asked softly: "These days, you have sighed, could it be that the murderer of the Queen Mother has something to do with you." ”

Cai Ze listened, raised his eyes, and scolded: "What do women and Taoists know, it is not a pity for those people to die, if it weren't for them, the queen mother would have died, and the king would not have been silent in grief and ignored the government." ”

Madame listened, although she was scolded, but it was not related to those people, there were too many people who died that day. Thinking about it now, she felt terrified.

At this moment, the voice of the old man came from outside the door.

"Master, Shoufu sent someone to pass the order, let the master enter the palace, and go to Xianyang Palace with Lord Shoufu to meet the king. ”

When Cai Ze heard this, he was full of energy, and said loudly: "Madam, change into official clothes for me, I want to enter the palace." ”

The lady said, "But you haven't eaten yet?"

Cai Ze said with a smile: "As long as the king governs the government, I am willing to let me not eat for a year." ”

Mrs. Cai Ze just said that her husband had not shown a smile since that day, and now that she saw it, she was also happy in her heart.

The two went back to their room and personally put on their official clothes.

This scene happened in the mansions of many ministers in Xianyang City.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.

In the square in front of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, there were nearly 100 officials, each wearing official uniforms and hats. Even Zhuge Liang put on the official uniform of a second-grade officer, which shows how much he attaches importance to this matter.

Xianyang Palace, in the dormitory. Ying Zheng was lying on the couch, his eyes were blank, Zheng He was standing on the edge of the couch, and there were two small chamberlains behind him, holding a tray in his hand, with three dishes and a bowl of rice on it. It's steaming, but it doesn't move at all.

At this time, Zhao Gao entered from outside the hall, came to the couch, and said: "Wang, Shang Shoufu, Mr. Zhuge , the master of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, etc." The Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs were presented. ”

"Why are they here?" said Ying Zheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Zheng He bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, all the adults are here, you should meet them." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "Help the orphan." ”

Zheng He and Zhao Gao hurriedly helped Ying Zheng up, seeing Ying Zheng like this, Zheng He's heart was like a knife, no one knew better than him what kind of life Ying Zheng lived.

Ying Zheng had just ascended the throne, in order to control the situation of the court, the five watches of the rooster crowed, and finally built a cabinet, and there was a massacre of the people of Daqin by foreign tribes. Until Qiang was convinced and Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, there was another joint attack on Qin by the six countries, the six countries were defeated, and the Qin State won a great victory.

Qin's great victory, five years of development, and Yingzheng couldn't sleep all night.

In his opinion, Yingzheng's half a year in Xinzheng is the life that a person should live, but God doesn't seem to want him to be happy, and a series of things will happen later.

Ying Zheng sat up, thought for a moment, and said, "It's time to meet." ”

Zheng He and the others put on the crown clothes for Yingzheng and helped him walk towards the outside of the hall.

When he arrived at the gate of Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng shook off the hands of the two and walked alone towards the side of the steps at the entrance of the main hall.

Ying Zheng walked very hard, limping, crooked, and the ministers on the hundreds of steps north of Xianyang Palace Square saw such Ying Zheng, and their impression was simply like two people.

Zhuge Liang, Shang Ying, Wei Ran, Fan Li, Zhang Yi, and other important ministers all had tears overflowing their eyes, and their eyes became red.

When Ying Zheng walked from the inside to the top of the steps with difficulty, he was in front of Shang Ying, Bai Qi and others.

The ministers saw that Yingzheng's face was emaciated, and his whole body was skinny, like an old man who had stepped into a coffin with half a foot.

Shang Ying and the others couldn't control it anymore, tears flowed wildly, they really couldn't believe that Yingzheng had become what they are today.

Even Gai Nie, who had already arrived and was standing on the side, opened his eyes wide, and he couldn't believe that this was the handsome young man who controlled everything.

The ministers on the steps sobbed silently, Shang Ying's eyes were hazy, the tip of his nose was sour, and he choked up: "Your Majesty, why did you become like this?"

Ying Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Don't worry, you are alone." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't bring a feather fan this time, his whole body trembled slightly, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

He said, "Your Majesty is not just like this. ”

Ying Zheng couldn't shed tears for a long time, and said sadly: "Sir, Lone's only relative has also left Lonely, what's the point of living Lonely." ”

"Lonely has really become a lonely person. ”

"The King's ......"

The ministers cried out bitterly.

"You say that if you are alone as the king of Qin, you can't even protect your own mother, is it in vain to be a son of man!"

"It is the sin of the ministers, please don't blame yourself again. The ministers said again.

Shang Ying said respectfully: "The minister asks the king to put aside his grief and put state affairs first. ”

"The ministers asked the king to put aside his sorrow and put the affairs of the state first. The ministers persuaded.

"Lone killed more than 100,000 people, the people of Qin, the people of the world have long regarded Lone as a tyrant, and Zhuqing is still willing to admit Lone. "Ying Zhengdao.

"The people of the world regard the king as a tyrant, and we will serve him, and the people of the world regard the king as a faint king, and we will serve him, and the people of the world regard the king as the king of the dead country, and we will serve him. The ministers replied loudly, their momentum like a rainbow, soaring into the sky.

"See the king, the king is ten thousand years. ”

This time it's not a salute, it's a kneeling.

Seeing the ministers like this, Yingzheng was moved and said: "All the secretaries, please get up, perform their duties, and wait for the widow to return." ”

"The ministers will do their best to wait for the return of our king. ”

The ministers stood up and saluted.

"Retreat. ”

Zheng He took a step forward and said in a loud voice.

"The ministers send the king off. ”

Yingzheng is gone, and the ministers have found the backbone again, and everyone is in good spirits.

Shang Ying turned around and saw Bai Qizheng wiping away his tears with his sleeve, and said: "It is said that Wu Anjun kills people without blinking, but today he is also crying." ”

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at Bai Qi, and Bai Qi said with a cold face: "It was windy just now, and General Ben had sand in his eyes, so he couldn't cry." It is the one who weeps sadly. ”

When Wei Ran heard this, he scolded: "Okay, you are white, you will sell the pavilion master in a blink of an eye, don't think about having the opportunity to lead the army next time." ”

"Hahaha......"

The courtiers burst out laughing.

"Hey, old Tingwei, why are your eyes red, can't you also have sand in your eyes?"

A voice rang out in the crowd.

Everyone looked at the old Tingwei curiously, and sure enough, there were tears on the old wrinkled face.

When the old lieutenant heard this, he flicked his sleeves and said: "The old man is sad and sad when he thinks of the queen mother who was killed by a traitor, so he can't help but cry." ”

"Don't look at me, colleagues, I also think of the Queen Mother. ”

............

The king of Qin was in charge, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were overjoyed, and their hearts were full of motivation. All of them went back to deal with the government affairs that had accumulated over the past few days.

As soon as Ying Zheng returned to the dormitory, an attendant came to report that Wu Jue was outside the palace and asked to see him. Ying Zheng listened, his heart was complicated, for more than ten days, whether he saw Wu Yu or not, Wu Zheng personally brought people to bring meals during meal time every day. He didn't see him, and he had to wait for the food to be cold before going back, and for more than ten days, it was all like this.

Ying Zheng sighed: "This stupid girl, let her in." ”。

"No. The chamberlain departed.

Wu Jue was very careful, all he sent was meat porridge, accompanied Yingzheng to finish the meal, took people away, and just left the dormitory, tears flowed unconsciously.
