After sending Li Si away, Ying Zheng was irritable, and walked straight out of the study with only one of his cronies.

After walking aimlessly for a long time, a dilapidated palace suddenly appeared in front of me, unlike the bright lights of other palaces, this old palace only had a faint glimmer of light, which was even more unusual in this starry night.

"Where is this?" Ying Zheng pointed to the palace and turned his head to ask.

The attendant hurriedly bowed down and replied, "King, that's the Mingyang Palace." ”

"......" Ying Zheng nodded silently, stopped and pondered for a long time, and then opened his mouth and ordered, "Guard the palace gate, no one is allowed to approach, violators will die!" ”

"No." The chamberlain hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry. Seeing that there was no one else around, Ying Zheng quickly walked up the steps and carefully pushed open the dusty palace door.

"Zheng'er?" Zhao Ji, who was under house arrest in the Mingyang Palace, was very surprised by the appearance of her son.

Ying Zheng tried to restrain his emotions, and waited until the two of them sat down separately before he asked leisurely, "How does the queen mother think it is appropriate to deal with Lu Buwei?" ”

At first glance, when she heard Yingzheng's voice, Zhao Ji thought of her two dead sons again, and a wave of hatred arose. The son died, the lover died, and her heart died, perhaps for Zhao Ji, she is already a soulless skin. She didn't even look at Ying Zheng, she just lowered her head and said coldly: "Zheng'er has already made a decision, why do you need to ask?" ”

"The son wants to hear the opinion of the queen mother." Ying Zheng was rarely not angry, and his tone was still flat as usual.

Zhao Ji raised her head in surprise and looked at Ying Zheng beggingly: "The queen mother only has one word, let go of the middle father." ”

The faint candlelight swayed violently, but he didn't expect that until this time, the queen mother was still protecting Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng couldn't hold back his emotions, and excitedly took the case: "Lu Buwei is involved in the case of Chang Yu's rebellion, and the real crime is unforgivable!" ”

"No...... No! It was my idea to enter the palace...... "Zhao Ji used both hands and feet, staggered forward, and hugged his son's thigh in a panic, "Let him go......"

Ying Zheng snorted coldly, broke free of Zhao Ji with all his might, and kept walking back and forth in front of the big case. After a long time, Ying Zheng finally stopped, and looked at Zhao Ji angrily, as if he was looking at a stranger: "The queen mother is helpless, but Ran'er can kill Lu Buwei!" ”

"No...... Zheng'er ...... Don't ......" Zhao Ji trembled and cried incoherently.

"Why not?" Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Ji and asked.

Zhao Ji stopped crying and sighed resignedly: "Because...... Because Lü Buwei is your father......"

"Whatever!" Ying Zheng's eyes were dark, and he pointed at Zhao Ji and roared almost madly, "You...... You are talking nonsense! Although Chang Yu's words before also made him suspicious, after all, he was not confirmed by the queen mother herself, and Yingzheng was still lucky.

Zhao Ji looked at her son quietly, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Lü Buwei! This king will be put to death with five punishments! Seven horses split! The Nine Clans are wiped out! Ying Zheng violently swept all the bamboo slips and books on the big case to the ground, and then still kicked over the big case in anger.

"Killing Lü Buwei is equivalent to killing your father." Zhao Ji stumbled up from the ground and added.

After listening to Zhao Ji's words, Ying Zheng calmed down, and he respectfully saluted Zhao Ji and said, "Queen Mother, Zheng'er farewell." ”

"Zheng'er ......" The son's indifferent and solemn expression made Zhao Ji shudder.

Ying Zheng didn't pay any attention to his mother, flicked his sleeves, and strode out of the Mingyang Palace without looking back......

Three days later, in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng gathered his ministers to hold the first great court meeting since the pro-government.

The first priority of the court meeting was naturally to announce the closure of the case of Chang Yu in the palace of the Imperial Commander's Mansion, and the old Imperial Lieutenant with gray hair left the table solemnly, staggered to the central secretary under the throne, and explained the process of handling the case one by one.

"Do you have any objections?" King Yingzheng of Qin was sitting majestically on the throne, and under his gaze, the hall was in an uproar, "The ministers have no objections!" ”

"The minister has an objection!" A voice suddenly appeared, and everyone turned their eyes to speak, and it was a young man sitting at the end of the hall, and the ministers suddenly came together, "Who is he?" ”

"Who's objecting?" Changshi Wang Juan asked as usual.

"River Canal Cheng Lisi!" The young man was not deterred by the disdainful gaze of the ministers, and replied in a loud voice.

The incident happened suddenly, Wang Juan looked at Ying Zheng for help, and saw Ying Zheng nodding with a smile, so Wang Juan said again: "Please be the palace to declare!" ”

Li Si shook his sleeves, strode to the central corridor of the main hall, bowed his hand to King Qin and the surrounding ministers, and said impassionedly: "The law of Great Qin is not expensive, but why did the old court captain close the case and make a statement, why did he avoid the people involved in the case?" ”

"How can Hequ Cheng say that? Who does the old man avoid? The old lieutenant shook his pale beard and asked sharply.

Li Si smiled coldly: "Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei bought the chief attendant first, and secretly sent the guest to the queen mother's bedroom!" Dare to ask Lord Tingwei, how can you not notice such a disgraceful act and sinister intentions? ”

Li Si actually pointed the finger directly at the Marquis of Wen Xin, and the ministers of the palace were instantly speechless, no one could associate the notorious Chang Yu with the famous Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who assisted the three generations of Qin kings, could this be true? Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Lu Buwei, who was sitting in the prime minister's seat.

"What credentials does Lees have?" Lao Tingwei was also shocked, and immediately asked.

Li Si knew that the old lieutenant would ask this question, so he casually took out a piece of worn-out parchment from his sleeve and shook it heavily in his hand: "This is a document credential!" ”

The old lieutenant stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it hurriedly, and his face changed suddenly. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked onto the throne, and handed the parchment directly to Yingzheng.

"Does the middle father have any explanations?" Ying Zheng didn't pick up the parchment, but asked lightly.

Lü Buwei could never have imagined that Li Si, his most trusted and trusted confidant, would suddenly launch a counterattack against him in the main hall. "Providence too!" Lü Buwei stood up with difficulty, didn't say a word, bowed deeply to Yingzheng on the throne, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.

A few days later, the king of Qin issued an edict: Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Marquis of Wenxin, neglected to supervise the people, and sat down in accordance with the law. In addition, Wang Juan of Changshi was promoted to the left prime minister, and Changping Jun Qiqi was the right prime minister, leading the national government together, and the post of Changshi was replaced by Hequ Cheng Li Si.

Ying Zheng originally wanted to execute Lu Buwei, but after seeing Zhao Ji that night, he still relented. Whether he admits it or not, Lü Buwei is his father, and Yingzheng categorically can't do anything about killing his father.

But what Ying Zheng never expected was that as soon as the edict was issued, the entire Xianyang City was full of people who complained about Lü Buwei's grievances, and even on the day Lü Buwei left the country, the convoy to see him off stretched for more than ten miles. When he arrived in Luoyang, the envoys of the six countries and the Shandong merchants greeted each other from a distance thirty miles away, and then the convoy surrounding him drove into the fiefdom mansion in a majestic manner, and a grand banquet lasted for three days.

On the night when the news was transmitted back to Xianyang, Zhao Kuo was suddenly summoned into the palace.

......As soon as he finished saying these two words, Ying Zheng was choked up.

Zhao Kuo naturally knew what Ying Zheng was thinking, and immediately said: "Let Wenxin Hou live in the Central Plains for a long time, and this move will cause endless troubles!" However, if it is migrated to Shuzhong, it may be preserved. Zhao Kuo had long known that Lü Buwei was Yingzheng's biological father, so he naturally couldn't suggest killing Lü Buwei to be bored.

Ying Zheng knocked lightly on the bookcase and shook his head and sighed: "With the prestige of the middle father, what can you do if you migrate to Bashu?" ”

"What does the king mean?" Seeing Yingzheng shaking his head, Zhao Kuo had no idea for a while.

"I have to warn my middle father! If you don't stab a few words, the middle father won't be able to settle down! Ying Zheng's brows tightened, "Is Yafu willing to go to Luoyang to issue an edict on behalf of this king?" ”

"Meng Wu and Wenxin Hou Shi have a good relationship, and they are better than Zhao Kuo." Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment and replied.

Ying Zheng nodded abruptly and said: "What Yafu said is very true, let Meng Wu be the deputy and go with Yafu." ”

Subsequently, Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before he wrote: "What is the credit of the king to Qin? Seal 50,000 households in Henan without knowing it! How can you be close to Qin? Call the middle father and not think about the country! With Wenxin, Hou Lu Buwei and his family members migrated to Bashu without delay! ”

After Zhao Kuo left, Ying Zheng's heart was relaxed, he slowly stood up, and muttered to himself: "If the middle father is my father, you should know how to deal with yourself!" ”

Only in the tenth day, Zhao Kuo's urgent report came from Luoyang: "Wenxin Marquis Lü Buwei committed suicide by drinking when he heard the edict, and the aftermath is to be taken away by the king." ”

In an instant, King Yingzheng, who had always been extremely resolute, burst into tears.
