Devastation.

This is the first word that Yingji can think of after entering Xianyang City. This was not the Xianyang in his impression, at least at that time, it was not the corpses and charred houses that caught his eye.

"Childe." Zhu Li rode up and whispered in his ear, "The Queen Mother, Zuo Xiang and others have been waiting in Xianyang Palace for a long time. As for here, it's not very safe yet. ”

Yingji nodded and headed towards Xianyang Palace, looking at Yingji's slightly lost expression, his mood was also a little complicated.

A group of people arrived outside Xianyang Palace, Gan Mao and others had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw Yingji at this moment, they quickly knelt down and bowed to the ground. Although nominally, he is still just a son, but everyone knows that now Gongzi Zhuang and others have withdrawn from Xianyang, and his uncle Wei Ran and Right Xiangyu Li Ji have expressed their loyalty to him, not surprisingly, Yingji's succession to the throne is just a matter of procedure.

Yingji hurriedly jumped off the horse and asked everyone to get up, while she walked quickly to the Mizi and saluted.

"Erchen is late." Yingji said with guilt.

"It's a great blessing that my son can return safely."

The two complained to each other about the pain of parting, and Mi Zi took the hands of Gongzi Fu next to him, and said with tears in his eyes: "If it weren't for your brother and the rebels outside the palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen my son." ”

Yingji looked at Gongzi Fu and praised him, while Gongzi Fu smiled with an unnatural face, and Yingji talked about parting thoughts, a picture of a happy family. It wasn't until Gan Mao stepped forward to comfort him and everyone returned to Xianyang Palace that they gave up.

In the main hall of Xianyang Palace, because Yingji has not yet held a ceremony, he can not sit on the top yet, but can only sit on the bottom for a while, and Mizi sits next to Yingji in a dignified manner. Although Yingji didn't feel anything wrong, Gan Mao frowned slightly, and glanced back at Yingji, but the latter was expressionless, and he temporarily suppressed his impulse and joined everyone to Yingji.

When Yingji saw this posture for the first time, she was a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to say. Seeing Yingji's trembling, Mi Zi was obviously frightened by this meeting, and hurriedly opened his mouth to round the field for him.

"The ancestors blessed, the heavens favored, and you worked together to make yesterday's rebellion and traitors fail to succeed. Your meritorious deeds, another day, will be added, and you should not neglect the heroes. ”

Yingji eased up and said, "What Mrs. Jun said is reasonable. ”

Seeing that the scene was under control, Mi Zi looked at Gan Mao and said slowly: "I don't know what the situation in Xianyang is now, please say a word or two." ”

Gan Mao's heart jumped, this Mizi was really a strange woman, and before everyone could speak, she first gave Gongzi Zhuang the name of a rebel. Once this name is confirmed, it also shows the legitimacy of Yingji's succession, if everyone follows her words, they will naturally agree with this matter, if not, at this moment, Wei Ran's army is in hand, and it may not be impossible to arrest him directly. It was with trembling and trembling, nodding and promised.

In fact, yesterday, Gongzi Zhuang and his group knew that in Xianyang City, it was almost impossible to resist Gan Mao's army, and the two cronies combined could not stop the elite soldiers in Gan Mao's hands. So they chose to attack Xianyang Palace. The first is to hijack Mizi and others and let Gan Mao cast a rat trap, and the second is that if he wants to get the position, he has to rely on the approval of his mother, the Queen Mother.

Although Gan Mao was strictly guarded, he focused on the city gate, hoping to block them all in Xianyang City and annihilate them all, but Gongzi Zhuang and others suddenly attacked, which caught him off guard, and when he learned that Gongzi Zhuang and others had attacked Xianyang Palace first, Gongzi Zhuang had already controlled Huiwen Hou in his hands. And when plundering Mizi, he encountered the resistance of Gongzifu's personal soldiers.

Now that the news of Yingdang's death has not spread, rashly attacking Huiwen is likely to have a huge impact, and if someone is attacked with this in the future, the gains outweigh the losses, but fortunately, Mizi and others are safe and sound. He also agreed to Gongzi Zhuang's request and let them leave Xianyang.

"It is really a sin for the ministers to derelict their duties and let the rebels be exiled, so they ask for punishment."

Mi Zi groaned and was silent, Yingji just wanted to say two words of comfort, but she was also quietly pulled by her. Above the main hall, there was immediately silence.

"Childe, the old minister has something to say." Finally, he walked out of the ranks, "Although the left minister let the rebels go, after all, he had to do it for the safety of everyone." Although it has passed, it still has merit. What's more, now that the foreign captives have not been cleared, and the internal strife is not stopped, it is the time for the merit to move, and the left minister has made great achievements, so he might as well redeem the merits. ”

When everyone heard this, they also echoed it.

Yingji saw that the ministers had begun to intercede for Gan Mao, and she had some sympathy for Gan Mao in her heart, but Mizi pulled his clothes and didn't let him speak.

"Since the ministers are interceding for the left, it's okay." Mi Zi said slowly, "Let's take Zuo Xiang as the general and plan to exterminate the rebels." ”

"No." Gan Mao retreated, his face expressionless.

"And the matter of Xianyang's defense," she paused, smiling and looking at the Liji, "and the right minister will be in charge." ”

After thanking him, he leaned over and said: "Although the minister should do this, after all, his energy is limited, and his strength is not enough. ”

Mizi beat Gan Mao, which has silenced everyone, but Gongzi Yingji has not yet succeeded to the throne, so it is naturally inconvenient to give orders, Mizi is his biological mother, and everyone can only obey his orders. However, it is obvious that the left phase is not liked by the son, but is more inclined to the right phase, and with the virtue of the right phase, he will naturally not take power and respect himself.

"The right minister is the minister of the humerus, and the king relied on it, but what he played and invited is indeed so." Mizi said, "Why don't you recommend someone to the right?" ”

In this way, the minister recommended the general Wei Ran as the general of Xianyang, responsible for the military affairs and defense of Xianyang, and assisted the minister. And the army of the old ministers is stationed outside Xianyang, and one inside and one outside, guarding Xianyang. ”

"Since it is recommended by the right minister, it is also the best choice, if others have no objections, you can handle it accordingly."

Objection? Everyone thought to themselves, they were all old people who had been in the mix for many years, and if they couldn't guess Mizi's arrangement, it would be really too much of a failure.

In this way, Mizi is happy, and the disease is also comfortable, and there is only one Gan Mao who seems to be unhappy.

Gan Mao went out of Xianyang Palace, and the ministers who came to flatter him on weekdays now saw that he was losing power, so they naturally didn't want to cause more trouble, so they took a detour. Gan Mao didn't know it, and walked towards the palace gate by himself. Unexpectedly, halfway through, he met someone he didn't expect.

"Do you have something to inquire about?" Gan Mao looked at the tree not far away and asked.

"This arrangement is not a certain plan." He said something that was clueless, but Gan Mao already understood what it meant.

"Naturally, it is clear. In the final analysis, son, no, it should be said that it is the queen mother, or I feel that in Xianyang, I must have a knife of my own in order to feel at ease. Gan Mao laughed at himself.

From the moment Mizi knocked on himself, he realized that he was in the way, otherwise he would not have been transferred to the front line to fight first. Then he supported the prestige of the royal family. And Zhu Liji, known as a think tank, how could he not know what Mi Zi was thinking, so he simply handed over the defense of Xianyang to Wei Ran, and he had heavy troops outside, so he didn't have to worry about any turmoil. And Wei Ran, including Wei Ran, is also convenient for Mizi to deal with some things in the palace.

He didn't comment, and Gan Mao walked towards the palace gate one after the other, he retreated left and right, and Gan Mao came to explain, it was already an exception. With Gan Mao's intelligence, he naturally knew why he did what he did.

"The enemy army escaped from Xianyang and went north, and the most likely thing is to entrench in Liyang. Liyang is the former capital of our Great Qin, with strong defense, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and adjacent to Xianyang, the threat is not small. "But if you want to put down the rebellion, it won't be difficult. I have Bai Qi and others, and I am not afraid of being able to defeat Gongzi Zhuang and others. ”

He didn't say much, just listened quietly, this was the purpose of his visit. Although Gan Mao is still the nominal left minister, he is now leading his troops to fight outside, and he is here to listen to his arrangements for the next political situation, so as to facilitate his own planning.

"One of the worries is that if a certain person is transferred out of Yiyang, a reliable person must be stationed, otherwise the military will be unstable, and if South Korea counterattacks, I am afraid that Yiyang will also be in danger of being lost. You need to choose a reliable person to stabilize your position. ”

"Is there anyone to recommend?"

Gan Mao thought for a while, but he couldn't do it. Because he understands that at this moment, the person he thinks in his heart may not be the person he thinks in his heart, and the Yiyang guard general holds the military power, and Mizi just now couldn't wait to take away his rights in Xianyang for his own safety, and it is not easy to say whether she will arrange her cronies for her own safety.

"I'm afraid this matter is beyond the reach of a certain one."

He nodded in tacit understanding.

"As for the second thing," Gan Mao looked at the man, who nodded and did not speak. He really didn't expect that he would one day talk with Gan Mao. Speaking of which, he is the representative of the power of the old Qin people, while Gan Mao can barely represent the forces of the non-Qin people.

"Speaking of which, although the prince is temporarily stable now, there is a rebellion among the princes inside, surrounded by Zhao, Wei, Han and other princes, and the internal and external difficulties, if one is not good, the foundation of the Qin State will be cut off in the hands of you and me."

Gan Mao nodded, what he said was what he wanted to say. Now the Qin State is on the crater, the previous years of war against each other, the princes have long regarded the Qin State as an enemy, and now the Qin civil turmoil is a good opportunity for them to take revenge.

"Regarding the rebellion of the sons, although it is powerful, it is not serious, and there are Bai Qi and others in a certain hand, so it is absolutely safe to deal with it. But what about these princes? I'm afraid we're going to have an ally. ”

Zhu Lijian nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhao Guo, how is it?" ”11
