Chapter 5 The Three Fathers Bingguo Forty-Eight Heroic Young Monarchs
Seven years have passed, and Ying Zheng is already twenty years old before he knows it. Although he was not pro-government, he always paid attention to the major affairs of the Qin State. According to common sense, King Qin can be crowned as a pro-government as long as he is at least seventeen years old, but to this day, Lü Buwei seems to have forgotten about this matter, and has no intention of returning to the government. As time passed, Ying Zheng couldn't hold back after all, so he found Zhao Kuo again.
Zhao Kuo's plan for Ying Zheng has only one word - forbearance. Over the years, Zhao Kuo has become more and more soberly aware that behind Lü Buwei's prosperity, there is a huge crisis that is approaching the powerful minister of the Great Qin Empire step by step, but he is still unaware of it.
The root of the crisis came from the queen mother of King Yingzheng of Qin, Zhao Ji.
Less than half a year after Chang Yu entered the palace, Zhao Ji issued an edict to the Queen Mother Regent, and promoted Chang Yu to be the chief of palace affairs. The official position of the Inner Servant was the highest official position in the Imperial Court, and the edict immediately caused an uproar in the court. For a while, all kinds of gossip flocked in, the most bizarre of which was that Chang Yu was not castrated, but was actually a fake chamberlain sent by Lü Buwei to the palace to "serve" the queen mother.
Ying Zheng, who heard the rumors, was quite shocked, and hurriedly sent his cronies to the palace to secretly return to the palace to investigate. Soon, the cronies and attendants brought back the news: the maid in the cleansing room did not clean Chang Yu at all!
As soon as the news was confirmed, Ying Zheng was relieved, after all, the queen mother did not have an affair with Lü Buwei, who was the middle father, and it could be regarded as taking into account the dignity of King Qin's son, even so, there was no need to worry too much about this fake eunuch.
But who knows, this is just the beginning. In the second year, Zhao Ji suddenly secretly moved to the old palace of Yongcheng, and issued an edict again: to be diligent in the king's affairs, specially entitle the marquis of Changxin, and eat 60,000 households in the mountains and yangdi! From now on, Marquis Changxin will govern on behalf of the Queen Mother as the false father of King Qin, and will be in charge of state affairs with Wenxin Marquis Lü Buwei and Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo!
Seeing this edict, not only Yingzheng was dumbfounded, but even Lu Buwei was stunned. Originally, according to Lu Buwei's estimate, this Chang Yu could be regarded as the top of the sky in the matter, but he never thought that the Queen Mother would actually hand over her regent's power to Chang Yu, and now that the wood is complete, it is too late to regret it. In desperation, Lu Buwei had no choice but to take one step at a time.
Lü Buwei's silence made Chang Yu more and more unscrupulous, and he actually used the banner of the empress dowager to gather the officials of the various offices of the court and the Shandong scholars who came to Qin, and even built a "Wuxian Pavilion" in his fiefdom. In just five years, he has accepted more than 3,000 visitors, and his momentum has faintly surpassed Xiangguo Lu Buwei.
"Father, what can I do about it?" Standing in the quaint hall of Zhangtai, Yingzheng looked gloomy.
"My king has no worries! "Book" cloud: full of losses, humble benefits, the time is the way of heaven! Chang Yu doesn't know the height of the sky, but he kills himself! Is there any other? Zhao Kuo smiled contemptuously, and he had never been disdainful of him. What great things can such a vulgar person do?
Ying Zheng sighed, shook his head and whispered: "Chang Yu's generation, it's not enough to worry about it!" If you can be pro-government, why worry? ”
Zhao Kuo suddenly realized, thought for a moment and said: "The minister has a plan, please make a decision for my king." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say." Ying Zheng bowed solemnly towards Zhao Kuo and said sincerely.
Recently, in the name of the Queen Mother, Chang Yu took over the Prime Minister's Mansion on a business trip, and the Marquis of Wenxin and him have become a fire and water. For today's plan, summon Wen Xinhou to discuss this matter and support my crown sword pro-government! Zhao Kuo replied without hesitation.
Ying Zheng suddenly showed a suspicious expression: "How can the middle father give up the power of regent? ”
"My king is bad! Now the prime minister's power has fallen, and he has returned to the government and the monarch, and has become the name of the Duke of Zhou, and the Marquis of Wenxin knows this reason! Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, his face full of confidence.
Ying Zheng's eyes flashed suddenly, and he couldn't help but be very excited in his heart: "What the father said, Ying Zheng suddenly opened!" The plan has been decided, and Yingzheng immediately ordered Changshi Wang Juan to rush to Xianyang and secretly invite Lü Buwei to discuss the matter.
As soon as the distraught Lü Buwei saw Wang Juan, he rushed to Zhangtai without saying a word. In the main hall of the palace, he unexpectedly saw Zhao Kuo, a horse service monarch who had not appeared in public for a long time.
"The old minister sees the King of Qin." After Lu Buwei made a big salute, he straightened his waist, looked at his son silently, and with emotion, he actually burst into tears, "My king is an adult, and the old minister is relieved." ”
"Please help me." Ying Zheng suddenly fell to the ground and fell in front of Lu Buwei.
"But my king said it was all right, why is it so?" Lu Buwei was quite surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng got up and said with tears in his eyes: "If Chang Yu is in chaos, if you don't punish this thief, how can Qin Guo be safe?" However, Yingzheng is powerless! ”
"My son wants to be pro-government!" Lu Buwei was so keen, he immediately heard the meaning of Ying Zheng's words. What Chang Yu has done in recent years has long made him unbearable, but every time he thinks that Chang Yu was secretly brought into the palace by himself, Lu Buwei suddenly has a trace of unprovoked fear in his heart, "If Chang Yu fails, the old man will be unable to get out of it!" ”
Just when Lu Buwei was silent, the sharp voice of the old chamberlain suddenly came from outside the hall: "Guo Wei Cheng Zhao Xing is here!" ”
"Zhao Xing?" Hearing this name, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be stunned, why did his son come?
"Minister Zhao Xing sees my king." Before Zhao Kuo came back to his senses, Zhao Xing, who was dressed in military uniform, had already stepped into the hall and bowed to Yingzheng, his handsome appearance was quite a bit of Zhao Kuo's youthful demeanor.
This Zhao Xing inherited almost all the advantages of his father, he had read military books at the age of eight, joined the army at the age of fourteen, and was promoted to the rank of national lieutenant and princess at the age of seventeen because of his outstanding military achievements.
Seeing that Ying Zheng glanced at him, Zhao Xing turned around and stood beside Zhao Kuo.
"Xing'er, why are you here? How's Mother doing? Zhao Kuo was excited, and couldn't help but turn his head and whisper in Zhao Xing's ear, but Zhao Xing shook his head expressionlessly, "Father, Rong'er will be careful later." ”
Zhao Kuo remembered that he was discussing at the moment, and his face couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he hurriedly turned his head back.
"The middle father can't bear to watch from the wall?" Ying Zheng saw that Lu Buwei never spoke, so he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Buwei smiled with relief: "My prince is in power, it is imperative!" The old minister thought that he could take this opportunity to force the rebellion, and then the law would be used to prevent future troubles. ”
As the Father had expected! Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and bowed solemnly: "Father Xie Zhong." ”
Lu Buwei hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Yingzheng, and said with a long voice: "This matter is the duty of the old minister, why should my king be like this?" ”
"If Chang Yu is opposed, there must be a large army to support, so I asked General Zhao Xing, the national captain, to explain the distribution of Xianyang's military forces, what does the middle father think?" Ying Zheng straightened up and looked at Lu Buwei inquiringly.
Lu Buwei nodded: "I, Wang Mingju." ”
Zhao Xing then arched his hand and said: "As far as the minister knows, my Great Qin military law is strict, and orders for more than 100 people during the non-war period must go through military talismans, and Chang Yu has no right to make it!" However, the royal city and the guards of the official office, but the transfer of the guards of the national prison does not need military charms, and these troops are gathered around Xianyang, if there is a sudden chaos, it is difficult to protect it! ”
"How many troops are there?" Lu Buwei had never thought of this question, and when he suddenly heard Zhao Xing talk about it, he couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Yuwen Xinhou, about fifty or sixty thousand!" Zhao Xing didn't think about it, and blurted out.
"My king, since Chang Yu suddenly jumped up, there are many officials in the Xianyang official office, and it is difficult to ensure that he is rebellious! Lao Chen, please transfer the Lantian army to make sure it happens! Lu Buwei said angrily.
Zhao Kuo hurriedly objected: "No! This move scares the snake too! ”
"What is Ma Fujun's good plan?" Lu Buwei asked lukewarmly.
"My king! It's just a fool, so why do you need an army to do it? In the past, Wu Anjun sent 5,000 knights to the military merchant horse team to be stationed in Yinshan, this army is not in the military system, but the combat power is above my main iron cavalry! With this army, why worry? Zhao Kuo ignored Lu Buwei's tone of speech and said lightly.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, "There is such a thing?" I don't know who the generals of the unified army are? ”
"The Yinshan Horse Camp is always in charge of the Mengshi clan, and the current commander is the Xianyang Commander and the Xianyang General Meng Tian." Zhao Xing rushed in front of his father's words and replied.
"God help me Daqin!" Ying Zheng listened to it, and suddenly smiled at the case.
Meng Tian is the eldest grandson of the late old general Meng Fu, and Ying Zheng has known each other since he was a teenager, the two are named Junchen, but they are actually brothers, not to mention that Meng Tian's military talent stands out among the young talents of the Qin army.
With Meng Tian here, what else can Yingzheng not rest assured of?
