Chapter 7 Crowning in advance
The things he made were liked, and Xu Wen was of course happy.
Fortunately, he is a superb cook, otherwise, he would have become a dry bone on the side of the road.
"As the saying goes, Laqi and Laba froze to death jackdaws, and when these few days pass, it should be better." Xu Wen said as he went to make braised fish.
The cooking wine was prepared by him, and in the entire Great Qin, there was absolutely no second serving.
Xiao Yingzheng ate with a mouth full of oil, and his face was happy.
After eating, he wiped his mouth and touched his bulging belly, "It would be great if I could eat what Brother Xu made for the rest of my life." ”
"I don't dare to say it for the rest of my life, if you want to eat in the future, you can come here, as long as I am here, I will not let you go hungry." Xu Wen laughed.
Xiao Yingzheng took out a book from his arms and handed it to Xu Wen: "Brother Xu, look what this is." ”
Of course Xu Wen knew what this was, and he didn't need to look at him to know it.
"Lu's Spring and Autumn"
This is the result of a few scribbled summaries he submitted to Lü Buwei a few days ago. If it weren't for him, Lü Buwei wouldn't have been able to write Lü's Spring and Autumn so quickly.
Xu Wen opened the book and looked at it, "Lu's Spring and Autumn." Well? Yes, it's very well written, it's all about Jiangshan Sheji and the ruling of the imperial court. Wait, how did you get this kind of book? Did you write it? ”
"Alas, it's no secret anymore, this Lü's Spring and Autumn Period was written by Xiangguo Lü Buwei to convene the guests in the palace, saying that it was to assist the King of Qin to consolidate the ...... of Sheji."
"It's a good thing, it's really well written, and it's really helpful." Xu Wen looked appreciative and poured a cup of steaming tea for Xiao Yingzheng.
Xiao Yingzheng's face was ugly, "Lu's Spring and Autumn, Lu's Spring and Autumn!" This Xiangguo, did he take King Qin in his eyes! ”
The four characters of Lu's Spring and Autumn Period are indeed a bit rebellious.
Where did Lü Buwei put the royal family? Lu Shi Chunqiu, does he mean that the whole world is all his Lu Buwei?
Xu Wen smiled knowingly, "People write about others, why are you so excited!" ”
"I suspect he's trying to usurp the throne!" Xiao Yingzheng's face was solemn, "Think about it, isn't he despising the emperor's authority by naming him after the Lu family's Spring and Autumn Period?" What does Brother Xu think about this? ”
"What do you want me to say...... Now don't worry about Lu Buwei for the time being, what you really need to worry about is the eunuch named Chang Yu.
Xiao Yingzheng nodded, "At present, this Chang Yu is indeed much more dangerous than Lu Buwei. What is Brother Xu's opinion? ”
"Gao Jian can't talk about it, if I am the King of Qin, the best way is not to drag it out any longer. Chang Yu relied on the Queen Mother, was strong, had countless staff, and his power was thriving. In the long run, this is the biggest threat. ”
Xiao Yingzheng nodded, Xu Wen was right, Chang Yu was the biggest scourge.
"The best way to fight against Chang Yu is to grasp the real power in advance, and to grasp the real power in advance, you need to perform the crown salute in advance."
After listening to what Xu Wen said, Xiao Yingzheng was surprised, "Bow in advance!" But King Qin is only eighteen years old now, and it is not yet time to perform the crown salute! ”
"That's why I said to do the crown salute in advance, besides, the rules are set by people, he is the king of Qin, can't he change it? As for making Chang Yu lose his trust in the government and the opposition, I want a way......"
"What's the solution?" Xiao Yingzheng was faintly excited.
Xu Wenshen laughed mysteriously, sold a pass, and took a sip of tea.
Xiao Yingzheng was so anxious that she couldn't wait to know the answer, and asked, "What is it?" ”
Xu Wen's eyes flashed, "Do you know why the Queen Mother is so pampered and even made him a marquis?" ”
Xiao Yingzheng shook his head.
"Because, Chang Yu is not a eunuch at all, he is the male favorite sent into the palace by Lu Buwei to serve the Queen Mother!"
"What!" Xiao Yingzheng was shocked, "What Brother Xu said is true?" ”
"It can't be fake, it can't be fake, Chang Yu can't help but be a eunuch, he had an affair with the queen mother, and gave birth to two sons, hidden in secret, once the news spreads......"
Before Xu Wen finished speaking, Xiao Yingzheng hurriedly ran out.
"This kid, why can't you listen to what people say!" Xu Wen smacked his lips and opened the lid of the iron pot, and the fragrance of donkey meat suddenly filled the entire inn.
……
"What a fragrant donkey meat!" A man walked in.
Xu Wen looked up and down, this person was rich and noble, full of energy, in the middle of the year, and there were several slaves behind him.
Lü Buwei's purpose for coming here is simple.
He heard that Xiao Yingzheng often went to this inn to eat privately, and he was suspicious, so he came to find out in person.
Xu Wen had never seen Lü Buwei, and of course he didn't know that this person was Lü Buwei, the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition and gave King Qin a headache.
He stood up and said very hospitablely, "A bowl?" ”
"Okay, let's have a bowl!" Lu Buwei sat on a table with a big grin and glanced at Xu Wen.
An ordinary innkeeper, nothing remarkable, but the donkey meat is quite fragrant.
……
The palace, the queen mother's bed.
"The queen mother, the child wants to perform the crown salute in advance." Xiao Yingzheng stood in front of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji and said, looking faintly excited.
"What?" After Zhao Ji heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised, her face was ugly, "You said you want to bow in advance?" You're not old enough, how can you do that? ”
"Queen Mother, rules are dead, people are alive, I think that by performing the crown ceremony in advance, you can do things better for Qin Guosheji."
"You do this, does your middle father Lu Buwei know?" Zhao Ji gradually became a little dissatisfied.
"He doesn't know, but as long as the queen mother agrees, no one else will object."
"It's light!" Zhao Ji's face was dissatisfied, and if he saluted in advance, it would make people think that King Qin wanted to seize power.
What does this make Lu Buwei think! Now the whole country relies on Lü Buwei alone, and the army is also in charge of him.
What if he is unhappy and something happens?
"No way!" Zhao Ji directly refused.
Xiao Yingzheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji, his eyes were blazing, "I am the Great Qin Monarch, I want to perform the crown salute in advance, do I still need the consent of others!" ”
Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Yingzheng, who was dressed in an imperial spirit, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Of course I know, I said I'm going to do the crown in advance! Queen Mother, I have made up my mind, after March, when the earth is rejuvenated, I will perform a crown ceremony in Yongdu. From now on, for thousands of years, the sons of the princes of the Qin State will be able to perform the crown salute at eighteen! ”
Xiao Ying's political will has been decided, Xu Wen is right, if you want to get back the real power, the first step must be to perform the crown ceremony.
The situation is imminent, and if it is delayed again and again, it is very likely that the entire royal family will be dragged.
"You, you're going to me off!" Zhao Ji's body trembled and pointed at Xiao Yingzheng, "You don't even listen to me, you do this, do you ever think what your middle father will think?" ”
"I don't care what he thinks, I am the king of Great Qin, and he wrote the Spring and Autumn Period of the Lu family, which is a great rebellion! If I have nothing to say, what is the prestige of my royal family! With that, Xiao Yingzheng knelt down and shouted, "Queen Mother!" ”
