Chang Yu directly detained Cheng Jiao's messenger.

The army that asked Cheng Jiao for help was personally sent to Xianyang, and Lu Buwei looked at the book in his hand, "There is a shortage of military and civilian supplies in the war zone, and I hope Xianyang can replenish it." ”

Lu Buwei frowned deeply and muttered, "Not dead yet?" "It's been almost two months, and it stands to reason that I should have been killed a long time ago.

Chang Yu looked at Lu Buwei and said to himself, "The messenger told me that the grain of Tunliu and Pu Yu could not last long, and that the grain and grass collected from Jinyang several times were attacked by the Dai army, and every time they arrived in the city, there was not one out of ten grains. ”

Sima Kong groaned slightly, and then he said loudly: "Prime Minister, judging from the future, this generation of troops is probably trying to starve them to death." ”

Lu Buwei looked at Sima Kong, his eyes flickered coldly, and said: "Pass my life, send food to the front line, if this person can't even kill Cheng Jiao, what qualifications do you have to cooperate with this Xiang." ”

Chang Yu was ordered to leave.

Sima Kong was also a little relieved.

looked at Lu Buwei and said: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister will scatter his soldiers and horses everywhere, if the Dai army suddenly hits the army and attacks all the way, I am afraid that it will be defeated immediately." ”

Lu Buwei was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Sima Kong said: "If Cheng Jiao is defeated, he will inevitably continue to ask for books to increase his troops, but I think that food can be sent, but I can't increase my troops, and this reason for not being able to increase my troops is much easier to say, after all, the party on the front line has an army of 150,000." ”

Lu Buwei nodded, "What Mr. said is exactly what I want!" ”

Food can be given, but the soldiers must not be increased, and you will die anyway.

The next day, above the court.

Ying Zheng came to the hall alone, the ministers looked at Ying Zheng, and did not find Zhao Ji's figure, the Queen Mother had not appeared for half a month.

"I heard that the Queen Mother is sick."

"Do you want to go see the Queen Mother?"

A few courtiers whispered.

Ying Zheng's face was serious, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were not angry but mighty, and he looked at the courtiers saluting, and then asked: "Is there any news about the frontline war?" ”

Lü Buwei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister only received news from the front line yesterday night, and he was preparing to tell the King. ”

The courtiers looked at Lü Buwei one after another.

Lü Buwei said: "Chang'anjun came to envoy yesterday, saying that Jinyang, Tunliu, and Pulu are all being rectified, government affairs are as usual, and the organization of local governments is also being reorganized, and there are no major wars, and the army has carried out two campaigns with our army in the field, and there has been no big conflict, and the city has not been attacked once, but because the granaries of Tunliu and Pulu were taken by the rebels, so I asked me to prepare grain and grass and send them to the front line." ”

There really wasn't any major war.

The enemy did not attack the city.

Everything I say is true.

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei added a sentence in his heart, saying: "Cheng Jiao, this is all said by yourself, but your true appearance has not changed a word." ”

However, Lü Buwei's words sounded to anyone that the front line was stable.

The Ying clan also nodded in approval.

After all, the generals and captains along the way are all members of the clan, representing the face of the clan.

Ying Zheng also nodded slightly and said: "The prime minister has done a good job, since Chang'anjun needs grain and grass, then ...... Then the prime minister will arrange it himself. ”

After listening to the reports, Ying Zheng also returned to the harem absent-mindedly.

The ministers saw that Yingzheng was preoccupied, and they all looked at each other suspiciously, and then they left in an orderly manner one by one.

As soon as Ying Zheng walked to the door of Ganquan Palace, he saw Zhao Gao waiting at the door with an anxious face.

Ying Zheng asked, "How is the queen mother?" ”

Zhao Gao shook his head and sighed: "The Queen Mother still hasn't drunk the medicine, and the food hasn't moved." ”

Zhao Ji has been sick for half a month, and she is still getting better.

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he asked anxiously in his heart: "What did Xia Wuhe say?" ”

Zhao Gao said: "It is said that the Queen Mother is depressed and sick, and the medicine stone is only used for soothing, as for wanting to heal, I am afraid it is a little difficult, because this is a heart disease, and heart disease is difficult to treat." ”

Ying Zheng muttered: "Heart disease? Then, he pushed open the door with his sleeves and came directly to the sickbed, where the huge curtain made it impossible for outsiders to see Zhao Ji's face.

Ying Zheng looked at the already cold decoction on the table next to the bed, and suddenly sighed.

He stretched out his hand, opened the curtain, and saw at a glance that Zhao Ji in front of him had lost weight, in addition to his still beautiful appearance, he also had a little more morbid paleness.

Ying Zheng sat down in front of the collapse, retreated, asked people to prepare a bowl of hot soup again, personally helped Zhao Ji up, and said softly: "Queen Mother, it is the son who is not filial." ”

Zhao Ji looked at Yingzheng, who was gradually majestic in front of him, shook his head with a light smile and said: "Zheng'er is very good, and having Zheng'er is the happiest thing for the queen mother." ”

Ying Zheng wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "My son knows everything!" ”

Zhao Ji was obviously shocked, hiding the panic in her heart: "You, what do you know?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "Naturally it is the cause of the queen mother, the queen mother is alone in the palace every day, this year, rarely talk to people, the queen mother is also a person, and there can be no one to tell, so that the heart is depressed, and it is also unexpected by the son, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, but now there is a war in the party, and the Taifu is not in Xianyang, many things need to be dealt with by the son, and the queen mother is neglected." ”

Zhao Ji relaxed a little.

After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng, her eyes were resentful, but she was the Empress Dowager Qin, she couldn't do everything according to herself, and there were some things that couldn't be known by the king or anyone.

Zhao Ji said: "Zheng'er, the queen mother has something to tell you. ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately shook his face and said: "The queen mother, please say, as long as the son can do it, he will promise the queen mother everything." ”

Zhao Ji smiled lightly, two small dimples appeared on his cheeks, making the whole person look more angry, and said: "You have Taifu by your side, Taifu is extremely intelligent, and he has great kindness to you and your father, in the future, if you realize the vision in your Taifu's heart and become the co-master of this world, you must not be suspicious of your Taifu, he is different from Lu Buwei, he is a loyal minister who can lose his life for our mother and son, he can kill all the people in the world, and he will not hurt our mother and son, you must not do something, otherwise, Both the queen and the king will be disappointed in you. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he said again and again: "Queen Mother, why do you think so much about your son, your son will never do this, back then, Xiaogong could share the Qin State with Shang Jun, and the son could too, and the son was willing to share the Qin State and the world with the Taifu." ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "It's all the king, it's still a stupid child, your Taifu always says that it is for the world, but he is actually for the Qin State, for you, for you for thousands of lifetimes, so Taifu will never do what he does with filial piety and business!" You have to believe the words of the Queen Mother. ”

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and nodded: "The son believes it, of course he believes in the queen mother, and he also believes in the Taifu." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes turned red, and said: "With the Taifu by your side, the queen mother will be relieved, if ...... If the queen mother leaves like this one day, you don't want to bury me in Lishan, you just need to choose a quiet valley for the queen mother to be buried alone, and simply set up a tombstone. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lifted.

"This? Queen Mother, you! ”

Without waiting for Yingzheng to finish speaking, Zhao Ji's whole person was cold for a few minutes, and said: "This is the only wish of the queen mother, and it is also the wish of a lifetime, if you don't agree to the queen mother, the queen mother will leave Xianyang alone one day and never see you again." ”

Ying Zheng was in a hurry and said: "Queen Mother, Zheng'er won't let you have anything to do, Queen Mother must not think too much, she will definitely get better." ”

Zhao Jiwen said angrily: "Zheng'er, you don't promise me? ”

Ying Zheng saw that Zhao Ji was suddenly angry, and the whole person trembled violently, and could only say: "Yes, yes, my son agrees." ”

Zhao Ji got a little better at this time, her whole body softened, and after a long time, she finally said softly: "Zheng'er, don't ask the queen mother why, the queen mother can't tell you, you go, the queen mother is sleepy." ”

After speaking, Zhao Ji lay on the bed, with her back to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng saw Zhao Ji's appearance, and she was helpless, "Heart disease!" ”

With a long sigh, he came to the outside of the temple.

Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao and Xia Wuhe, shook his head, and said, "The queen mother still hasn't taken the medicine yet, how can it be good." ”

Xia Wuhe said: "King, heart disease belongs to heart disease, heart disease is difficult to treat, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine, the queen mother is alone in the harem, never negotiates with others, and there is no half of the person who speaks, in my opinion, the king may as well stay in the harem for a month, accompany the queen mother, and the queen mother will inevitably get better." ”

Ying Zheng suddenly became in danger and said: "No, but if the widow is not engaged in government affairs, then ...... Naru ...... Ay! ”

Zhao Gao comprehended, and suddenly said: "King, since you have a heart disease, you might as well think about the queen mother's preferences on weekdays, invest in it, and take it with peace of mind, taking decoction, or it may be a way." ”

Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Gao, and finally said loudly: "Good way, you still have a way, if the Queen Mother gets better, the widow will definitely reward you." ”

What does Zhao Ji like, like piano and dance, even the original words in the historical records of later generations are Zhao Ji, stunning and good kite dance, it can be seen that this is her preference.

Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Go, notify the Yuefu Order, stroke the qin for the Queen Mother, no, don't forget to prepare a decoction." ”

Zhao Gao and Xia Wuhe took the order and left.

Ying Zheng was in a depressed mood, and suddenly remembered the queen mother's entrustment, and muttered in his heart: "Widow, how can you be suspicious of Taifu, never." ”

Three days later.

Ying Zheng went down to the court, and after inquiring about the preparation of grain and grass, he hurried down to the court.

Walk towards the palace where Su Zheng is.

Zhao Gao found Yingzheng with a bitter face, and said: "King, which Yuefu, the Queen Mother thinks it is too noisy, and it is all blasted out." ”

Ying Zheng was suddenly angry, pointed at Zhao Gao and said, "You! Didn't you say that you like it after joining your mother? ”

Zhao Gao also didn't dare to raise his head, and was reprimanded by Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao said resignedly: "King, don't blame the ministers, the Queen Mother is not unhappy, but not good for those people's happiness, the Queen Mother's Qin Zheng is taught by Wuhou, how can those people's skills be compared with Wuhou, naturally let the Queen Mother smell like chewing wax, not into her heart." ”

Ying Zheng immediately stopped scolding, and as Zhao Gao said this, his heart also flashed with inspiration, isn't Taifu here.

Immediately his face was overjoyed.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and said, "This...... The widow knows, you go and do your thing, and the widow will figure out a way to do this. ”

Zhao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and saw Yingzheng walking towards the palace with a happy face.

……

Su Zai looked at Ying Zheng, looked a little surprised, and asked aloud: "What?" Is the Queen Mother sick? Why didn't the king tell me? ”
