"You must give me a letter today!" After all, Yangquan Jun Michen was far inferior to Lü Buwei, and he was quickly exhausted by Lü Buwei's patience.

"Hehe, let's not talk about the selection of the prince first. The elder brother asked the elder brother first, now in front of the Queen Mother, is it the Chang Wenjun brothers who are more favored? Qin Xiang Lu Buwei suddenly changed the topic and asked about some things that were not related to cattle and horses.

"What are you asking for?" Yangquan Jun Michen asked in surprise.

"Of course, it's for Yangquan-kun. Thinking about the adoption of the king by the Queen Mother back then, Yangquanjun made great contributions, but he didn't want to let the Changwenjun brothers in a high position and hold real power in the end, and Yangquanjun is still only a high lord, isn't it chilling? Qin Xiang Lu Buwei pretended to be kind and reminded.

"This ...... Benjun has always been indifferent to fame and ......fortune," Yangquan Jun Mi Chen replied duciously and hesitantly.

"Yangquanjun is very wrong, presumably tonight's temptation is also the idea of the Changwenjun brothers, and Yangquanjun has actually become an errand runner, doesn't it make outsiders think that Yangquanjun is subordinate to others?" Qin Xiang Lu Buwei continued to tease, and it seemed that he had already seen through this prodigal nobleman with great ambitions and talents.

"This ...... How could it be......" Yangquan Jun Mi Chen still looked unwilling to admit it, but his flickering eyes betrayed him.

"Yangquanjun, who doesn't think about themselves these days? You've got to plan for yourself. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei no longer hid and said his position, "As for the selection of the crown prince, Lu does not dare to talk about it." Lu's position is very simple, everything is decided by the king, and Lu just wants to protect himself. ”

In the Xianyang Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang, her relatives Changping Jun Qi Qi, and Changwen Jun Qi Ling were discussing things together.

Although Mrs. Huayang, the Queen Mother, pays attention to maintenance, but after all, the years are not forgiving, and the most beautiful time has already passed, and at this moment, all she longs for in her eyes is boundless power.

"The one who serves others with color is weak and loves relaxation. Lü Buwei is really sharp-toothed. Changping Jun Qiqi exclaimed, "Back then, I could see that this person was definitely not a thing in the pool, and today it seems that this is indeed the case." ”

"This person is good at planning, taking every step of the way, and never giving up until the goal is achieved. Let's take a look at the results of Yang Quanjun's temptation for the time being, and then decide how to deal with this person. Chang Wenjun Qi Ling also echoed.

"After the king ascended the throne, he didn't take the words of mourning to heart more and more, it seems that he has never been his biological mother and son, and there is an estrangement after all." The Empress Dowager's wife, Mrs. Huayang, looked unhappy.

While the three of them were talking, the eunuch passed the news that Yangquan Jun Michen had returned.

After listening to Yangquan Jun Michen's report, Mrs. Huayang and the others frowned.

"It seems that it is difficult to establish Chengjiao as the crown prince in a short period of time, and the controversy of the Ying clan alone is very big, and they naturally don't want the momentum of our nobles surnamed Mi to increase again. I am afraid that the reason why the king is reluctant to express his position is because of the pressure of the Ying clan. The Empress Dowager Mrs. Huayang tasted the fragrant tea slightly and said worriedly.

"The influence of the Ying clan's Gong Yan, Gong Yingwei and others is too great, we can't act rashly, otherwise it will only make the king even more jealous of our nobles surnamed Mi." Changping Jun Qiqi thought for a while, and finally realized that the matter of establishing the prince was too important, and it was difficult to succeed in a short period of time.

"The matter of appointing the crown prince can be postponed, but the queen can be settled as soon as possible. At present, there are only two people in the queen's harem, Chu Ji and Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji is a singer from the Qin Mansion and Chu Pavilion, so naturally she can't compete with Chu Ji, who was born in the nobles of Chu State. The Ying clan has nothing to blame for this. "Chang Wenjun Qi Ling, as Chu Ji's biological father, naturally hopes that his daughter will be rich and wealthy.

"Make a queen first? Is this really possible? "The Queen Mother, Mrs. Huayang, was a little moved.

"Feasible! Even if you fail, you can also take advantage of the situation to render Zhao Ji's humble identity! "Changping Jun Qi Qi and Changping Jun Qi Ling are brothers, so they naturally want to help their own family build momentum.

"Not bad! Rumors kill people invisibly, it's really a trick! Changping Jun Qiling did not forget to add another fire.

"Okay, Qin and Chu have intermarried in the past dynasties, and the queen of Qin should naturally be of noble blood with the surname Mi. The mourning family depends on how the king can refuse such good things. The Empress Dowager, Mrs. Huayang, happily drank the tea.

Chu Ji, the mother of the second prince Cheng Jiao, is the daughter of Chang Wenjun Qi Ling and the niece of the Empress Dowager Huayang. Although his appearance and talent are average, he is of noble birth and has always been a powerful candidate for the queen.

Mrs. Huayang, the Empress Dowager of Qin, ordered the new king of Qin to make Cheng Jiao's mother Chu Ji the queen with the power of the empress dowager, and the new king of Qin had to agree in desperation.

The Ying clan has no objection to this. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei has just become the prime minister, and it is difficult to support it alone, and it is difficult to open his mouth to oppose it.

After Cheng Jiao's mother Chu Ji became the queen, for a while, the possibility of the second prince Cheng Jiao becoming the crown prince of Qin was greatly improved. After all, ancient kings either set up a son-in-law or an eldest son when they ascended the throne, and the succession of sons-in-law often catered to people's hearts.

In this way, the situation he faced became more and more dangerous, and Zhao Ji, the mother of Wang's eldest son Yingzheng, was born as a singer, which made him one step further away from the position of the crown prince of Qin.

Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, had no choice but to take the initiative to ask Qin Xiang Lu Buwei for teaching every day at the suggestion of his mother Zhao Ji and the young man Meng Mengyi. Of course, the young Meng Yi has always encouraged and even instigated Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, to form an alliance with Lü Buwei.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an open political alliance.

"The little guy is a little scheming, deliberately creating an illusion and pulling the old man into the water. Hey, it seems that you can't relax for a while. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei was a little ridiculous.

"There's no way, Wang's eldest son Yingzheng is equivalent to finding a cheap godfather for himself." The young Meng Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, "Isn't it Yingzheng who became the prince of Qin in history?" Why is it Cheng Jiao's turn to take the position? Damn the official history, why isn't there a detailed record! ”

At the same time that he was at a loss, revolving around Qin Prime Minister Lü Buwei, the war situation on the periphery of Qin changed dramatically.

In March 249 BC, the newly succeeded Qin king Yingyiren announced a general amnesty to the world, and Shi Debu benefited the people. In the same year, King Yingyi of Qin was ordered to invade Korea, and Korea was forced to cede Chenggao, Gong and other places. The territory of the Qin State extended to Daliang, and Sanchuan County was initially located.

At this time, Qin's spies in various countries learned a shocking news: Duke Wen of Zhou of the Eastern Zhou State conspired with the princes to attack the Qin State. Although the Eastern Zhou Dynasty only owned the seven counties of Henan, Luoyang, Gucheng, Pingyin, Yanshi, Gonghe, and Zongshi, it blocked the way for the Qin State to go east. In addition, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has the righteousness of the co-lord of the world, which cannot be underestimated.

"King, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will not die in my heart, and we must send troops to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the army of the Six Kingdoms is gathered, Great Qin will be in danger! Qin Xiang Lu Buwei made a suggestion.

"The last general seconded."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

"The minister recommended the commander of the Qin Dynasty to fight against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty this time."

The last general seconded. Lu Xiangguo is witty and brave, and he will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities. ”

The ministers seconded. Lu Xiangguo just opened my eyes and lived up to the king's favor. ”

"Minister Lu Buwei also asks the king for permission!"

"Quasi-play!" Seeing that Lü Buwei agreed, King Yingyi of Qin no longer hesitated.

At present, there are five major forces within the Qin State: the Ying clan, the relatives surnamed Mi, the military nouveau riche, the meritorious family, and the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In the court, due to the strong recommendation of his relatives surnamed Mi, Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who had never led troops to fight, was pushed to the forefront. The Qin State's military novices, meritorious families and other forces are also waiting to see the jokes of Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei, who was born as a businessman.

In the study of the Prime Minister of Qin.

"This conspiracy. Once the war is lost, the nobles surnamed Mi will inevitably put all the blame on Lord Xiangguo. The doorman Li Si said worriedly.

"This is both a huge crisis and a huge opportunity." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei said confidently.

"Why is Sangkook so calm? What is the best way to do it? The doorman Li Si's eyes lit up and asked in surprise.

Just then, shouts came from outside the door.

Qin Xiang Lu Buwei had no choice but to invite Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, to come in, and Li Si, Meng Yi and others naturally retreated.

"Why is the eldest son of the king so alarmed? What's the big deal? Qin Xiang Lu Buwei drank fragrant tea and asked slowly.

"Lu Xiangguo, are you still calm? The queen's position was snatched away by someone else, and I was too young to object, but if you can't keep your position, how can my mother and I gain a foothold in the Qin State? Although Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, has the support and enlightenment of the young Meng Yi, he can't help but run out of ideas when he encounters one defeat after another.

"Ahem, don't be mistaken, the eldest son of the king, your mother and son are based on the king, and others can't help you. Please keep this in mind. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei immediately mentioned, "As for the status of the prime minister, as long as he wins the battle, he will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai." ”

"What does Lu Xiangguo mean?" When Wang's eldest son Yingzheng heard this, he naturally heard the sound outside the strings and asked happily.

"Eldest son Wang, please go back! It won't be too long, and there will be good news. Qin Xiang Lu Buwei smiled and said nothing.

The two little ones frowned on the carriage home.

After listening to the description of Wang's eldest son Yingzheng, the young Meng Yi suddenly realized, "Lu Xiangguo already has a good way to break the enemy." ”

"How can you be sure?" Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, is still very worried, after all, once Lü Buwei falls, their mother and son will have no external forces to rely on.

"I heard that Lu Xiangguo and Yangquan Jun Michen have had a close relationship recently, and they intend to support Yangquan Jun Michen to become the next Xiangguo, which is obviously a ploy to divide the relatives surnamed Mi. Now that he only needs good news from the front line, Lü Buwei can steadily overwhelm the limelight of his relatives surnamed Mi. The young Meng Yi explained slowly.

"In this way, Lü Buwei has actually been accumulating strength all along, waiting for the right time to replace him." Although Wang's eldest son Yingzheng has a stubborn temperament, he has a quick mind and can figure out the ins and outs of things in an instant.

"Yes, the relatives surnamed Mi have always controlled the military and political power of the Qin State, and other forces have long been dissatisfied. It is highly likely that Lu Xiangguo has reached a consensus with other forces. The young man Meng Yi echoed.

"Great, this prince is waiting for Lu Xiangguo's good news." Wang's eldest son, Yingzheng, immediately laughed brightly.
