Meng Fu's death in battle and Cheng Jiao's rebellion caused a "great earthquake" in the military and political affairs of Qin. King Yingzheng of Qin blamed Qin Xiang Lü Buwei for "not knowing anyone".

Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei pleaded guilty and asked Qin Wang Yingzheng to immediately allow troops to be sent to quell the rebellion.

King Yingzheng of Qin sent Wang Qian, Wang Ben, Zhang Tang, and Huan Qi to lead an army of 100,000 to suppress it. Fan relied on courage to repel the Qin army, and Wang Jian sent Cheng Jiao's old friend Yang Duanhe to persuade Cheng Jiao to surrender.

Yang Duanhe took advantage of the opportunity of Fan Yuzhi to fight outside the city and Cheng Jiao to go to the city to watch the battle, kidnap Cheng Jiao, open the city gate and capture Tunliu, and Fan Yuzhi was forced to defect to Yan State. After the rebellion was quelled, King Yingzheng of Qin ordered Wang Jian to make Cheng Qiao the head, and his military officials were all beheaded and executed for sitting together, and the people were exiled, and Fan Yuzhi was forced to defect to Yan State.

Cheng Jiao's reputation was ruined, and his relatives, who were his supporters and one of the five major forces of the Qin State, naturally suffered a huge blow. The relatives surnamed Mi originated from the intermarriage of Qin and Chu dynasties, so some relatives with the surname Mi were reused, such as the Chu relatives led by the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan. In addition to Qin Xuan's Empress Dowager Miyue, the most famous is this Mrs. Huayang.

Mrs. Huayang was born in Chu and was favored by the prince of Qin, An Guojun, but she had no son, and later under the promotion of Lü Buwei, she accepted another person as her heir. When Yiren succeeded to the throne as king, he was respected as the queen mother. Qin and Chu intermarried for generations, and most of the relatives of the ancestors of Chu were officials in Qin and enjoyed glory and wealth.

The Empress Dowager of Qin, Mrs. Huayang, heard that Zhao Ji had been a concubine of Lü Buwei, so she had deep doubts about the identity and bloodline of the eldest son Zhao Zheng, and in order to make the second son Cheng Jiao, who was related to her, the prince, the prince, regarded Zhao Ji's mother and son as enemies, and she wanted to get rid of them quickly. And Mrs. Huayang's two brothers, Changping Jun Qi and Changwen Jun Qiling, hope that their daughter Chu Ji can become the queen, and at the same time let her grandson Cheng Jiao become the prince of Qin.

Unexpectedly, his grandson Chang'an Jun Chengjiao couldn't bear it, and he rebelled hot-headed for a while. In fact, rebellion is not a big deal, many of the previous kings of the Qin State came to power after rebellion, but the consequences of the failure of the rebellion were also tragic.

Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei criticized Mrs. Huayang for arrogance and rebellion against Sun Chengjiao in the court, which led to the loss of face for the Qin State, and also lost the army.

"Please make the decision for your deceased father!" General Meng Wu naturally wanted to seek justice for his father Meng Fu, who died in battle.

"Please let the king call the shots for your grandfather!" The brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi are not willing to lag behind, although Lü Buwei is the mastermind behind the scenes, and Qin Wang Yingzheng also fuels the trouble, but after all, it is the black hand of the relatives surnamed Mi, how can this revenge not be avenged?

"The old ministers also ask the king to deal with it impartially." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei immediately hit the snake with the stick, and led a group of henchmen Wenchen to start denouncing the misdeeds of his relatives surnamed Mi. These people are often representatives of the hundred schools of thought, and they wish that the relatives surnamed Mi would fall and vacate more court positions.

"The ministers also ask the king to deal with it impartially." The ministers of the Ying clan also spoke out one after another, and now that Cheng Jiao has failed and died, there is no one who has the prestige and strength to shake the position of King Qin of Ying Zheng. Those of them who sit back and watch the success or failure of the course no longer hesitate.

"The ministers also ask the king to deal with it impartially." Wang Qian, Huan Qi and other military upstarts are also ashamed of the actions of their relatives.

"The ministers also ask the king to be aware of everything!" Cai Ze and Wang Juan were not willing to be left behind, and they echoed their words.

King Yingzheng of Qin was very happy in his heart, and he could finally bring down the mountain of his relatives surnamed Mi.

"Since Cheng Jiao's rebellion and his relatives surnamed Mi can't escape from it, then the widow will not be merciful. Therefore, all personnel related to the Chengjiao rebellion were dismissed from their posts and handed over to the court lieutenant for punishment. In addition, the old ancestor of Huayang is not in good health and should go to Shuzhong to recuperate. King Yingzheng of Qin directly made a conclusion.

However, Changwen Jun Mi Ling, Chang Ping Jun Qi Qi, and Mrs. Huayang's younger brother Yang Quanjun Mi Chen escaped this punishment for various reasons.

After the Chu group seized power, it was very good to its motherland in the first few years, not only did it not continue to wage large-scale wars, but also returned the strategic land of Yongcheng to the Chu State, and married the Chu State again. The three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei were annoyed that the Chu State betrayed the Hezong Alliance, and raised an army to crusade against the Chu State, and the Chu group, which held great power in the Qin State, ordered to send a large army to rescue the Chu State and rescue the Chu State in danger. And King Chu Huai, the monarch of Chu State, also thought that he had a plan, thinking that he had finally relied on the Chu forces in Qin State to control the situation in Qin State. However, what King Chu Huai never expected was that as time went by, the Chu clique gradually gained a firm foothold in the ruling class of the Qin State and became the actual beneficiaries of the rich returns brought by the state apparatus of the Qin State.

So in the face of huge interests, the Chu group betrayed its motherland, launched a large-scale war again, and began to invade Chu and other countries. After many defeats, King Chu Huai, the monarch of the Chu State, thought that the Chu clique in power in the Qin State would not embarrass him, so he ignored the opposition of the ministers represented by Qu Yuan and Zhao Ju, and insisted on going to Wuguan in the territory of the Qin State to ally with the King of Qin, because he did not believe that the Chu forces he had secretly cultivated would really betray the motherland.

However, the Chu clique of the Qin State, which had been blinded by interests, had already left the righteousness of the motherland behind, imprisoned King Chu Huai, and used it to threaten the Chu State in order to gain more benefits. In addition to facing Fu Chu regardless of blood relationship, the Qin State under the control of the Chu group also wantonly used troops against other countries, which caused anger and resentment. It can be said that during this period, the Chu group was not only hated by the domestic local forces, but also did not get the support of foreign forces, but by virtue of its great power, in the whole forty years, it looked at the world, despised everything, and frantically accumulated wealth for itself, and the private wealth accumulated by the Chu group was even much more than that of the Qin royal family.

"What a relative surnamed Mi, he is really a Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten, and he has learned so well the skills of abandoning the car to protect the handsome! Fortunately, King Yingzheng of Qin only wants to take back power at present, and he doesn't want the court to be bloody, so he didn't rush to kill them all! Meng Yi once again lamented the intricacies of the court struggle.

"But after all, the relatives surnamed Mi have become yesterday's yellow flowers, and they can no longer return to their former glory!"

Xianyang, Qinfeng Tower.

"Only now did I understand the reason why Qin Xiang Lu Buwei reused Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, it turned out to be a killing!" Mrs. Dong, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, said with a wry smile.

"It has always been rumored that King Yingzheng of Qin is the illegitimate son of Lü Buwei, and as the other prince of the previous king, he must be a huge threat to the legitimate status of King Yingzheng of Qin." Meng Yi naturally knew the mystery of this, and continued to explain, "In addition, some clans surnamed Ying were very dissatisfied with the reuse of Lü Buwei by King Yingzheng's mother and son, and secretly colluded with relatives surnamed Mi, intending to support Chang'an Jun Chengjiao to ascend to the throne, hoping to regain the power of the court that was taken away by Lü Buwei. ”

"But why is it that the old general is being implicated now?" Tianji Pavilion Master Madam Dong asked puzzledly.

"This is also the power of Qin Wang Yingzheng and Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, it should be that Lu Buwei secretly conspired to take the opportunity to get rid of Cheng Jiao and take away the military power of the Meng family, otherwise why is Zhao Jun's every move of the North Road army clear?" Meng Yi said with a little sadness, "What I didn't expect is that King Yingzheng of Qin must have known about this for a long time, but I'm afraid he didn't expect to kill the old general Meng Yi." ”

"Speaking of which, you can't escape the word 'power'! The military power of the Meng family is too heavy, and it is hated by others! "Mrs. Dong, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, is used to seeing court disputes, and finally understands the cause and effect.

"After the death of the old general Wang Yi and Gong Yingwei successively, I once persuaded my grandfather to retire, but my grandfather insisted on not listening!" Meng Yi could only sigh at this time, "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!" ”

"The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years! General Meng Lao fought all his life, and dying on the battlefield was also a wish. Mrs. Dong, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, sighed, and turned her words around, "Meng boy, you won't come to me specifically this time to catch up with me, right?" ”

"Of course not, after this incident, I have successfully persuaded my father to Taoguang to raise the shadows, and the Meng family will be silent for several years in the future, waiting for the situation to change. Therefore, I have come to inform Madame that I hope that Madame will also arrange a way back as soon as possible. Meng Yi did not hide it and told him bluntly.

"A way back?"

"Yes. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The Guigu vein has been hidden for many years, and only walks in the world with Tianji Pavilion, I'm afraid it is also out of this consideration, but you haven't found that the existence of Tianji Pavilion is not another Guigu vein? Meng Yi kindly reminded.

"That's right, now the Seven Heroes are competing for hegemony, although they all want to use the Tianji Pavilion to listen to the intelligence of various countries, but the existence of the Tianji Pavilion itself is a threat. Boy, no wonder the master of the door admires you so much, you don't really have a seven-trick exquisite heart, right? Tianji Pavilion Master Mrs. Dong joked with a smile.

"Madame, do you believe that there are really people in this world who have seven exquisite hearts? It's just that the world deliberately flaunts itself in order to increase its reputation. Meng Yi naturally knew the principle of "hype", and then said, "By the way, the kid still has a reluctant request?" ”

"What's the matter? You hold the power of the black-clad guard, what can stump you? Tianji Pavilion Master Mrs. Dong asked curiously.

"Alone! A very mysterious person, this person may be inextricably linked to the lore society, or a figure in a certain country with power leaning towards the government and the opposition, in short, this person is unusual in all aspects. Because what he does is neither for himself nor for a certain country, but only for the sake of disturbing the world. Meng Yi didn't know how to explain the person of the Dragon Slayer, and thought: Do you want to tell yourself that you and the Dragon Slayer King are both cattle people from the future, fighting for history?

"What's funny what you're talking about? Will there be such a person in the world? "Mrs. Dong, the master of the Tianji Pavilion, pondered for a while, "But after thinking about it carefully, I really found that there is such a person?" ”

"Who is this person? Where is it now? Meng Yi didn't have much hope, after all, there was too little information about the characters, and he felt that he was looking for a needle in a haystack!

"The eye is in the sky, and it is close at hand." Tianji Pavilion Master Madam Dong pointed at Meng Yi and replied with a smile.

When Meng Yi heard this, he was instantly thundered, "Madame is so humorous!" ”

"It's not that I'm humorous, I've always been curious, what exactly do you want? Fame and wealth, good land and beautiful houses, you disdain; Fighting on the battlefield and leaving a name in history, you don't fight for it, what do you want in this life? "Tianji Pavilion Master Madam Dong looked at Meng Yi with a sharp gaze.

Meng Yi's scalp suddenly went numb, and he was speechless for a while.
