Lu Gong took Lu Pheasant to walk behind the eunuch in front, and he saw that every other section there was an elite and majestic soldier guarding the road outside the palace, and there were some palace maids coming and going on the road. But it all gave him the impression that he was in a huge cage, and the silence was chilling.

He couldn't even hear the footsteps of the eunuch walking in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that this eunuch had whispered a taboo in the palace before leading him to the place where King Qin was. He would have thought that there was a wandering black ghost in front of him.

The Qin State is still black, from the King of Qin to the hundred officials, and then the people below are used to wearing black. Lu Gong's light blue clothes and Lu Pheasant's red clothes are incompatible with the entire palace, but fortunately, the palace maid's clothes are still in line with Lu Pheasant's aesthetics. Lu Pheasant didn't think there was anything wrong with this palace, after all, she had also lived in Ganquan Palace for a long time, but now the Qin Palace is even more majestic.

She looked at the palace room, which was even larger because of her height, and sighed a little, when Xiang Yu was on fire, Liu Ji spent a lot of manpower on the other side of the river to build the prototype of Chang'an. It took a long time for Chang'an to slowly prosper, but when she first arrived in Xianyang, she was amazed by the city in front of her.

In Xianyang City, except for the palace city where King Qin was located, there was no city wall. Of course, this is not a defensive omission, but because Xianyang is developing too fast and the population is increasing. Before the city walls could be planned, the city was expanded by new residences. In addition, since the Qin State changed the law, no one from the east has ever been able to invade the hinterland of the Qin State.

Now the territory of the Qin State has been deeply extended to the Central Plains, and the customs are becoming safer and safer, and the city wall is not necessary. However, the people's hearts are longing, and the people's hearts are not walls. It can also be said to be the current Qin State. At least at this time, the Qin state was united in its efforts to unify the world. It is far from the time when Hu Hai has lost the hearts of the people of the Qin State, and the old Qin people are also disappointed in the Qin State, there is still room for redemption.

Lü Pheasant followed Lü Gong to a large hall and was asked by the eunuch to wait in place. He communicated with a eunuch who was standing outside, and the man looked back at the Lu father and daughter before entering the palace to report to the King of Qin.

Qin Zheng heard the eunuch report that the Lu father and daughter were already waiting outside the door, so he asked him to bring people in. He looked out of the door from afar, and a man who was close to middle age walked out first, with a light blue robe and an elegant demeanor. He was followed by a three- or four-year-old girl, with soft hair tied on both sides of her head, wearing a red dress, looking delicate and cute.

Lu Pheasant took advantage of the fact that he was not close, and first looked around the hall. In the middle of the main hall stood many thick and tall wooden pillars, high under the beams. These wooden pillars are all intricately carved and painted with a layer of translucent red paint. There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the air, presumably from the exquisite incense burner in the center of the hall. Unlike the bricks and stones paved outside the temple, the floor of the hall is paved with jet-black stone slabs, and the stone slabs are shining with a little starlight, as if standing in a bright starry sky.

The King of Qin, who sat in the side hall, was dressed in a black silk robe, the corners of the robe were embroidered with some auspicious clouds with gold thread, and the sun, moon and stars were embroidered on the wide sleeves. Wearing a crown on his head, he has deep and compelling eyes, sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and thin lips. Getting closer, Lu Pheasant didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly lowered his head to make a courtesy.

Qin Zheng looked at the door from a distance, and the girl looked at her palace recklessly, and even looked at herself. When I got to him, I seemed to know the rules. Seeing the two approaching and kneeling respectfully and bowing, he said flatly: "Get up, sit down." ”

Lu Gong stood up and respectfully knelt down under King Qin, and Lu Pheasant also sat quietly next to Lu Gong, as if she was not interested in King Qin before.

Qin Zheng looked at the well-behaved appearance of this bold girl with her head down at this time, and he had a teasing thought in his heart. He looked at Fan Lu Gong carefully, he didn't look like a craftsman, and remembered that he heard that the investigator had found a foreign person, and he was a little curious: "I don't know why you traveled thousands of miles to the west to enter Qin?" ”

When Lu Gong heard this, he slightly adapted the reason that Lu Pheasant had persuaded himself to do before: "The world is in turmoil, and the Qin State will eventually dominate the world, just to find a place to live." ”

He looked at Lu Gongtong's gentle temperament and soft facial features, and thought of the person in the court and couldn't help but ask sharply: "I don't know if you have anything to do with Lu Xiangbang?" ”

Lu Gong has heard that Lu Xiangbang has lost some power these days, but it is a better choice to deceive the monarch at this point, and he can't help but be a little hesitant.

Lu Pheasant is not as forward-looking as Lu Gong, if the King of Qin is not even willing to listen to a word of truth, then wouldn't it be meaningless for her to come to Qin? She took a breath, looked up at the eyes of King Qin after the jade bead, and said, "The gentleman's Ze is declining in the fifth generation." Now Lu Xiangbang and I are just people with the same surname, just like the king and the king of Zhao. ”

The face of the eunuch standing beside King Qin was about to attack, but King Qin waved his hand to stop him. He looked at the villain in front of him and sighed, "Oh? I? Didn't anyone teach you the rules before entering the palace? ”

Lu Gong's face is now whiter than blood, but he doesn't know what his daughter, who has always been known for her intelligence, is going to do. To call me before the king is disrespectful at least and disobedient to the great.

Lu Pheasant heard Qin Zheng's playful tone, and knew that he didn't intend to hold himself responsible, but thinking of the eunuch, he still explained: "Being in the countryside, I haven't learned etiquette. ”

Qin Zheng didn't know whether to expose this article or plan to make trouble again later, he turned his head to look at Lu Gong: "I heard that Dr. Lu loves Huang Lao deeply, but I don't know why he sacrificed to the widow?" Kanto is not the legendary 'Qin, the country of tigers and wolves. 'Could it be that Dr. Lu doesn't cure Huang Lao, and loves Shangjun more? ”

In the face of Qin Zheng's interrogation, Lu Gong's pale face slowly recovered, and he straightened his clothes and said: "The world is extremely chaotic, and the war has been in turmoil for hundreds of years. Nowadays, Qin is strong with strict punishment and strict law, and he will dominate the world day by day, govern the newly attached land, and blindly punish and punish the law too much. Even if the Qin State annexed the world, its people would have been war-torn for a long time, and the people would be settled. At that time, it was hoped that the king would implement the policy of leniency and meager endowment, so that the people could live and rest. ”

Although Qin Zheng was noncommittal about his request for leniency in the future, he was still very interested in his assertion that the Qin state could annex the world.

"Why did Dr. Lu decide that Qin Ke was one of the world? Zhao Chu is a strong country, why not them? ”

Lu Gong looked at the smile on the corner of Qin Zheng's mouth and breathed a sigh of relief: "There are still six countries left today, Han Wei can be destroyed overnight, Zhao has Qiang Qin in the west, Donghu in the north, and Yan in the east." Moreover, King Zhao is mediocre, believes in Guo Kai and chases good ministers, short-sighted people. The lord of Chu is weak and strong, the authority is in the hands of Li Yuan, and there are many feudal kings in the country, like a plate of scattered sand, and there is no ambition to swallow the world. ”

Qin Zheng couldn't help but praise him when he saw that he was reasonable: "There are still people in the country who are suspicious of the widow, but I don't want Dr. Lu to see it clearly in the Wei State." Since you have identified with the Qin State, why didn't you join the court as an official earlier? ”

When Lu Gong heard this, he had to leave the table and bow down and excuse himself: "Today, the Qin State is strong with strict laws, and if the ministers implement Huang Lao, it is tantamount to going from the south to the north. The ministers are willing to wait for the king to rule the world before entering the court as an official. ”

Qin Zheng just tried to see if he really wanted to promote Huang Lao, or to use this name to seek an official position, but the result made him half happy and half worried. The person in front of him was indeed talented, but he was not suitable for the future development of the country, and he wrote this person down in his heart, preparing to wait for the future to dominate the world before recruiting him as an official.

If Lu Xiangbang had such a vision as him, he should have given up his position of power a long time ago and enjoyed his old age in peace. The position of love stack can only make him more and more disgusted with him, not to mention that he also sent Chang Yu to have an affair with the queen mother.

Qin Zheng saw that there was nothing else to do with this summons, so he prepared to let them retreat. I didn't want Lu Pheasant to hear it, so he knelt down and said, "I have a few words that I would like to admonish the king, but I don't know if the king would like to hear them?" ”

Lu Gong didn't know in advance that Lu Pheasant had a plan to persuade King Qin, thinking of the more than ten corpses hanging outside the palace gate before he came, he couldn't help but quickly kneel down and beg for mercy and said: "The child is ignorant, and I hope that the king will not be surprised, and his subordinates will immediately take his daughter back to raise her well." ”

"Oh? But you don't know what you want to advise? King Qin's rare calm mood was disturbed by the word "admonishment" again. The last person who said this is still hanging outside the palace gate, if the villain in front of him said such a thing, should he also hang outside?

Lu Pheasant's forehead was pressed to the ground, and he knelt down and pleaded: "I wish to ask the king to retreat left and right, and let my father go out and wait." ”

"Do so, and let the widow hear what she has to say." King Qin had a gloomy face and asked the eunuch to take Duke Lu down. Lu Gong glanced at Lu Pheasant worriedly before retreating, but she seemed to be unconscious.

Qin Zheng saw that everyone had retreated, and he was the only one with her in the wide hall.

"Let's get up and talk about it, if you talk about the queen mother, the widow doesn't care about the corpse hanging outside the palace gate." King Qin said in a deep voice.

Lu Pheasant slowly got up and rubbed his numb and sore legs. After a while, after seeing that King Qin's face was even worse, he said: "I won't talk about the queen mother first, but only about Chang'an Jun and the king's half-brother." After the king of Chang'an, he rebelled bizarrely before the year of the weak crown. The king did not seek the truth and hurriedly suppressed it. The queen mother's son, who is also a compatriot blood, was also killed because of the rebellion.

The king even imprisoned the queen mother in Yongcheng, and now the people in the country say that the king is an unfriendly and unfilial person. If the king wants to unify the six kingdoms, such a reputation may make people from other countries regard them as dukes and resist to the end, which will add to the variables. May the king reflect on himself. ”

Qin Zheng originally just saw her as young and gave her a chance to speak, but he didn't want her to be really bold. He was first angered by her words, and then realized that there was some truth in it, so he didn't have a seizure.

He retorted stubbornly: "Who today doesn't know that the Qin army is invincible and invincible. What about a little resistance? ”

"Mencius once said, 'Everyone kisses his relatives, grows up, and the world is peaceful.'" Today, the king is not filial to his mother, and he is not a friend to his brother. In a different place, is the king willing to be ruled by such unfilial and unfriendly people? Everyone wants to have a benevolent monarch, and now the king does not think about it, lest the king lose the hearts of the people. Lu Pheasant said with a sigh, she also thought of her dull son, who was really consistent inside and out, but unfortunately he didn't know that what the emperor wanted was to be benevolent and strong.

Qin Zheng looked at the person in front of him and put life and death out of the way, he really didn't know how to say it, he asked in a low voice: "What if you just talk about the queen mother?" ”
