In the council hall of the west hall of Xianyanggong, Yingzheng is on the dragon seat on the top floor of the three steps, and Li Si, who is in charge of clerical records, is seated behind him.

On the second floor sat the Queen Mother Zhu Ji, and there was an empty seat next to her that was the seat of the national teacher, but since Li Liangshi was given the military position, he has been in the army these days, and he rarely goes to court.

The other ministers sat on either side of the floor.

On one side are Lü Buwei, Cai Ze, Wang Juan and Meng Fu, and on the other side are Xu Xian, Lu Gong, and Wang Hao.

When the matter of Zheng Guoqu was discussed, Changping Jun came in with a solemn expression and said that Li Liang had an urgent matter to see, and everyone was stunned.

Ying Zheng naturally knew what to expect, and immediately ordered Changping Jun to summon Li Liang in.

Li Liang entered the hall proudly, and after the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he told the whole matter, and then said: "This matter is within the scope of the minister's authority, but Lu Xiong kept saying that it should be judged by Lu Xiang, because it is related to Lu Xiang's reputation, his subordinates dare not deal with it privately, so the report is decided by the prince, the queen mother and Lu Xiang." ”

Lu Buwei's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "Where is this bastard now? Just looking at such a sentence, you can see Lü Buwei's arbitrariness.

In this case, only after Yingzheng, who was the prince, expressed his opinion, it was the turn of others to speak, and Lü Buwei said so domineeringly and compellingly, he really committed the crime of not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority.

And although he expressed his dissatisfaction with Lu Xiong, he still used the tone of his parents blaming his juniors, not an impartial attitude.

Ying Zheng was prepared, and said calmly: "Don't be angry, let us make things clear first." ”

Turned to Zhu Ji and said, "Queen Mother!" Is it right for Wang Er to do this? ”

Zhu Ji looked at Li Liang, who was standing proudly at the bottom of the steps, her phoenix eyes shot an incomparably complicated expression, and then glanced at Lu Buwei, who was staring at her, and sighed faintly: "Do what the prince wants!" ”

In this case, she can only support her beloved son.

Lu Gong Xu Xian and the others showed a look of surprise, they couldn't imagine that this young prince had the style of a general to deal with complex crises.

Any discerning person can see that this matter involves the struggle between Lü Buwei and Li Liang. Things can be big or small.

Ying Zheng suppressed the excitement in his heart, ignored Lu Buwei, and said calmly to Li Liang: "The reason why Lu Bang has not committed adultery is just because he was exposed in time and couldn't succeed, this is a serious crime, I don't know if Xiang Qing's family has any witnesses?" ”

Li Liang said: "The couple is waiting outside the hall. You can summon it immediately and let the prince question. ”

Cai Ze interjected: "Chu Jun Mingjian, such a trivial matter can be handled by the law firm, and there is no need to work hard." Wei Chen believes that the current urgent task should be to find out whether Deputy Commander Lu is due to a misunderstanding. In a momentary mood, he collided with Commander Li and offended Commander Li. The two armies of the capital and the defense are the two pillars of the city's defense, and the most important thing is to value peace, turn hostility into jade silk, and ask the prince to observe clearly. ”

These words are clear to Lu Xiong.

Cai Ze is the former prime minister and has a respected status. Under normal circumstances, Ying Zheng would give him a little affection, but of course it won't be over now.

Xu Xian and Lu Gong, who were going to speak, had to swallow the words that reached their throats back into their stomachs for a while.

Lü Buwei's complexion slowed down, and when everyone else, except for Li Si and Li Liang, thought that Ying Zheng would accept Cai Ze's proposal, the future Qin Shi Huang slapped the dragon and stood up proudly. He stepped down the dragon stairs with his hands in hand, and when he arrived in front of Zhu Ji's seat, he said coldly: "Cai Qing's family is wrong!" I, Daqin, have changed the law since the martingale, and the most important general will abide by the military law and abide by the order of respect and inferiority, so I can order up and down, and the soldiers will use their lives. Make our army invincible and dominate the world. ”

Then he stepped forward and stepped down the lowest step, looked around at the ministers with sharp eyes, and said calmly: "If someone violates military law. Blatantly committing a crime, but we turned a blind eye, this matter spread, and the impact on the morale of the military is huge, who can estimate? Therefore, no one will ever get by with this matter, and if it is really proved that Deputy Commander Lu has indeed committed such a serious crime, he must be dealt with in accordance with military law, and he must not be spared. ”

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that this prince, who was still a big child, could talk so eloquently, reasonably, and full of the spirit of a generation of overlords.

Lü Buwei and Zhu Ji listened in amazement as if they had realized Yingzheng for the first time.

Only Li Si, who bowed his head and looked humble, his eyebrows fluttered, and it was obvious that he was the writer of these two words.

Lu Gong raised his arms and shouted, "Okay! It is worthy of my Great Qin Prince, the military orders are like a mountain, and the rewards and punishments are clear, which is the basis for the undefeated repeated battles of my Great Qin Army. ”

After Ying Zheng smiled slightly, seeing that everyone's eyes were all on him, he returned to the dragon seat and sat down, and asked majestically, "What is the opinion of the secretaries?" ”

Cai Ze was indirectly scolded by him, how dare he make a noise? He hung his head in silence.

Although Lu Buwei was furious in his heart, he loved and hated this "son", but he still didn't dare to openly contradict him in front of everyone, and in fact, he also knew that this little prince was reasonable, so he could only look at Zhu Ji and hope that she would relieve the siege.

Zhu Ji knew that Lu Buwei was begging her to help, if it wasn't Li Liang, she would do it without hesitation, but now she had to turn a blind eye.

Meng Fu coughed dryly and said: "The national teacher and Deputy Commander Lu are both people who Weichen knows well, and they shouldn't have had this incident. According to Weichen's guess, it may involve the suspicion that the two armies of the Duqi and Duwei have always been involved, and because the two have not been in office for a long time, they have not noticed it for a while, resulting in misunderstandings, and they hope that the prince will be in charge. ”

Zhu Ji finally nodded and said: "General Meng's words are reasonable, Wang Er must not act recklessly, causing harm to the peace in the army." ”

Seeing that Zhu Ji was finally willing to speak for him, Lu Buwei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter can be handed over to the prime minister, and it is guaranteed that those who violate military law will not be spared, and the prince can rest assured." ”

When Ying Zheng, Li Liang and Li Si heard the yelling that something was bad, Xu Xian, who had been silent, stood up, came to Li Liang's side, and said indifferently: "Weichen wants to go outside with the national teacher, and when he comes back, he will say what he thinks in his heart, please give permission from the prince!" ”

Except for Li Liang and the others, everyone else was stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

After Li Liang happily followed Xu Xian, Wang Juan was about to take the opportunity to speak, and waved his hand to Ying Zheng to stop him: "Let's talk about it when Zuo Xiangguo comes back!" ”

Wang Juan couldn't imagine that Yingzheng was so domineering, so he had to swallow the words back into his stomach.

The council chamber was in a strange silence.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Yingzheng, the future Qin Shi Huang, as if they knew him for the first time.

He still showed a calm and confident look with a childish square face, sitting as steady as Mount Tai, with dragon eyes, teaching people to understand the thoughts in his heart.

Zhu Ji's first thought was that her son had grown up.

These days, she has been unremittingly with her husband like glue, and she has been fighting for each other, and she has loved both men and women. I can use lust to anesthetize myself and avoid this cold reality.

In her legendary life, the four most important men were King Zhuang Xiang, Lü Buwei, Li Liang and Ai'er in front of her, but fate caused her to form a complicated and indescribable relationship with them.

In particular, Lü Buwei killed King Zhuang Xiang with his hands, so that she didn't know how to deal with herself, and made her ashamed of Yingzheng and Li Liang. The most important thing is that her vital interests forced her to unite with Lu Buwei and try her best to protect her mother and son's status.

Only Chang Yu can make her forget a qiē.

In this moment. She intuitively felt that there was a gap between her and her son, which did not exist in the past, making it difficult for her to understand her prince son anymore.

Lü Buwei is even more contradictory.

All along, he has maintained a very close relationship with the "son" of Ying Zheng, and has worked hard to cultivate him, hoping that he will become a talent, so that the father and son can rule Daqin. To dominate the world and establish an immortal hegemony.

This is also the reason why he wants to deal with Li Liang by any means now, and he will never allow anyone to share Yingzheng's respect for him.

But he never thought that Ying Zheng would conflict with him because of the royal power, but at this moment, he clearly felt it.

At this time, he still didn't see through the whole thing as a well-designed layout, and he only thought that Yingzheng was dealing with this sudden incident impartially.

Lu Xiong's incompetence and stupidity, he already knew it. Otherwise, it would not be the main thing to manage the evil in the middle, and Lu Xiong would be the deputy.

Zhu Meng's death in the last envoy incident dealt a severe blow to his strength, causing his arrangement in the hands of people to be greatly disrupted. Now it finally creates an unmanageable situation for Lu Xiong.

The only thing he thought of at this time was to kill Li Liang, so that his dream of hegemony would not be disturbed.

As for Cai Ze and Wang Juan, the two people who tend to be inflammatory, they are like giving a head start. realized that the royal power manipulated by Ying Zheng was always above Lü Buwei, and he was not allowed to be manipulated by the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister. As he grows, he will one day become the king of affairs.

Meng Fu's idea is relatively simple.

The reason why he is where he is today is because of Lü Buwei, and it can be said that Lü Buwei is dead, and now he has a lot of military power in his hands. It is better than the king, and it has become the biggest bargaining chip in Lu Buwei's hand. No matter what happened, he would only be loyal to Lü Buwei.

Wang Hao's thoughts were much more complicated than his.

The great general of the Qin State was an expansionist and a belligerent soldier.

Only by conquest from the south to the north can he feel the meaning of life. This led him to lean towards Lü Buwei. Because under Lü Buwei's bold and adventurous spirit, he was able to show his strengths and invade the six countries eastward.

But suddenly, he realized that the prince who was not yet an adult had hidden the kind of courage and courage that was ambitious and proud, which made him have to reconsider his position.

Lu Gong, the most respected person in the military, was a supporter of orthodoxy Daqin, and he didn't like Lü Buwei as an outsider from the beginning. And because of Li Liang's relationship, he relieved his doubts, convinced that Ying Zheng was the flesh and blood of King Zhuang Xiang, and now that he saw Ying Zheng's outstanding appearance, he made up his mind and decided to do his best to help this future master.

Everyone in the hall thought about their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while, forming a strange atmosphere and tension before the mountain rain was coming.

A moment later, Xu Xian and Li Liang returned.

Li Liang stopped when he arrived next to the king, leaving Xu Xian alone to come to the bottom of the dragon steps.

After Xu Xiang and the two gave a salute, Xu Xianlang said loudly: "Tell the Empress Dowager, Weichen can absolutely guarantee that this matter is not about the factional struggle between the people below the two armies, which will lead to misunderstandings and conflicts." ”

Lu Buwei said unhappily: "Why is Zuo Xiangguo so sure? ”

Xu Xian said with his always unarrogant, chic and calm, and easy-to-be demeanor: "Lu Bang was on the streets of Xian-Yang, and he once molested other people's wives in public, stopped Weichen from passing by, and reprimanded Lu Bang, and at that time he felt that Lu Bang was unconvinced. Just now, Wei Chen walked outside, just to see if the little couple was the person Wei Chen had seen, and now it has been confirmed that it is correct, and it can be known that this matter has its causes and consequences, or that someone in the capital has slandered Lu Bang and caused an incident. As for Lu Xiong's forced entry into the capital and the government office, he forcibly demanded his son, and drew his sword first. ”

Only then did everyone understand the reason why he wanted to go outside, and even Meng Fu was speechless.

Lu Buwei was eager to pinch Lu Bang to death with his own hands, and after Xu Xian's warning, this kid was still cowardly and did such a stupid thing.

Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Lu Bangding wanted to kill people afterwards, so he dared not take Zuo Xiangguo's words to heart." ”

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that this young prince had moved to kill.

This is the most subtle part of the whole layout, because of Xu Xian's evidence, no one will doubt that Jing Jun deliberately dealt with Lu Xiong's father and son.

Zhu Ji frowned and said in a deep voice: "Lu Bang acted deliberately, there should be no doubt; But how can Zuo Xiangguo be sure that Lu Xiong really drew his sword first and committed the following crimes? ”

Xu Xian said lightly: "Because Yingying and Lu Dan'er were both present at that time, they can be witnessed." ”

Lu Gong was stunned and said, "How did Xiao Dan'er get there?" ”

Lu Buwei sneered and said, "This thing is really strange, I don't know what Commander Li has to explain?" He deliberately avoided the title of national teacher, and only called him Li Liang's low-level military title, which had a kind of momentum of overwhelming people.

The eyes of all the people were focused on Li Liang, who was standing in the main hall.

Of course, Xu Xian supported Li Liang and said: "Weichen has already asked the national teacher about this matter, so it is most appropriate for Chang Wenjun to be summoned and explained by him." ”

Ying Zheng ordered: "Summoning Chang Wenjun!" ”

The janissaries guarding the gate immediately conveyed the edict.

Chang Wenjun, who was outside the waiting hall, walked into the hall, knelt down and prayed, and told Ying Ying and Lu Dan'er to guard the palace gate and pestering Li Liangbi.

Lu Buwei's face became extremely ugly, he pounced, knelt down and said: "Prince Jun Mingjian, Lu Xiong is so disrespectful and inferior, disobeying the orders of his superiors, it is difficult for Wei Chen to excuse his responsibility, please punish Chu Jun together." ”

This time, even Li Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head, Lu Buwei took the matter on him like this, how could Zhu Ji not allow Ying Zheng to make it difficult for Lu Buwei to step down.

Zhu Ji really said: "Xiangguo, please get up, let the mourning family and Wang Er say a few words before deciding how to deal with this matter." ”

Lu Buwei knew that Zhu Ji would not allow Yingzheng to condemn him, but he still knelt on the ground and said "heartbrokenly": "The Queen Mother, please promulgate the punishment, and Weichen is willing to be punished!" ”

Zhu Ji saw that he was pampered and arrogant, and scolded secretly in his heart, and he couldn't take him, so he whispered to Ying Zheng: "Right Xiangguo has worked hard in my Great Qin, and because of the great opportunities, sometimes it is inevitable that he can't control the people below. ”

Ying Zheng was expressionless and silent, and after a while, he said under everyone's expectations: "Since the right Xiangguo has come forward to intercede, Lu Xiong's father and son can be exempted from the death penalty." However, this incident is related to the heart of our Great Qin Army, and all the people concerned, including Lu Xiong, will be dismissed from their posts and will never be allowed to join the army again. Lu Pin was to receive fifty rods in public as an example. Guan Zhongxie is the superior of Lu Xiong, and he has no way to rule, and he is demoted to one level, and as for the commander, he is concurrently served by the national teacher. Right Xiangguo, please. ”

Zhu Jigu was stunned when he heard it, and Lu Buwei also lost his bearings, stood up blankly, and even forgot the words of gratitude for a while.

Li Liang leaned forward and knelt down to accept the order, secretly thinking that this trick would even eliminate and fight, so that he could directly govern Duwei, must have come from Li Si's head.

Ying Zheng stood up abruptly and said coldly: "This matter is so decided, retreat from the court!" ”

The people fell to their knees.

Ying Zheng invited Zhu Ji up, and left with a high stride surrounded by the guards and Li Si.

Li Liang's heart swelled with a strange and incoherent feeling, and at the same time, he knew that the group of important ministers and generals of the Qin State in the hall finally truly realized the courage and means of "Qin Shi Huang" to look down on the world.

And he was only a half-grown child who was a minor.
