Gan Mao and others escorted Qin Wangdang's body back to the main hall of Xianyang Palace. Qin Huihou had already learned of her son's death, but her eyes were still filled with tears. Qin Huihou didn't want to step into the main hall again, because this hall was her sad place. Four years ago, she saw off her husband in this hall. I didn't expect that in four years, my son would also leave here. Qin Huihou looked at the child with his eyes closed with gentle eyes. At this moment, Qin Huihou's emotions had already burst like a riverbank, pouring thousands of miles, "Dang'er, now you can finally listen to the queen mother quietly." ”

Queen Qin stepped forward to hug her mother and cried: "Queen mother, Brother Dang is gone." He didn't want to look at the queen mother like this. ”

In the main hall, Queen Qin, Ying Ji, Gan Mao, Wu Huo, Meng Ben and others are also in the main hall. When everyone saw the deep mother-son relationship between Qin Huihou and Qin Wangdang, they were also embarrassed and burst into tears. Everyone couldn't understand why God would give them a high-spirited and invincible young king. Why would he be called back so quickly? Qin Huihou stabilized the sad mood in his heart and asked, "What are my last words before he dies?" ”

Gan Mao arched his hand and said: "After the king leaves, the Qin country has no owner. In the major affairs of the country, let the queen be the master, choose the virtuous person as the king, and complete the unfinished great business for the king. ”

Qin Huihou looked at his child, and the most uneasy thing he was before he died was the great rivers and mountains of Great Qin. Since her son entrusted the country to her, she also has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her son. Qin Huihou asked, "Wu'er, can you say, who is the king?" ”

Gan Mao said: "The king said that Shu Changzhuang is the eldest son of the previous king, and he is also a sage. The world of Qin was handed over to him, and the king was relieved. ”

Qin Hui said again: "What else did Wu'er say?" ”

Gan Mao said: "The king said to attack South Korea, pull out Yiyang, Dingsanchuan, and view Jiuding." The king's wish has been fulfilled, and there is no hatred or regret in his heart. Before the king left, the most relieved were the queen and the queen. The king said that he could not serve in front of Huihou, and asked Huihou to forgive him for his unfilial piety. ”

"Swinger, you can go in peace! The queen doesn't blame you. It's just weird, the mother-son relationship between me and Lang'er is too short. Qin Huihou said: "Wu'er, what else do you have to explain." ”

Gan Mao replied, "No." ”

Seeing this, Wu was about to speak, but was stopped by Gan Mao. Qin Huihou was heartbroken and waved his hand, "You escort Wang Er back to the country, you have worked hard, go down and rest." ”

Wu Yu and Meng Ben were puzzled.

Gan Mao gave his hand and said, "Oh." ”

Walking out of the main hall, Wu Yu asked in a low voice: "Zuo Xiang, why don't you tell you all about the general of the Qin State, as well as the chaos of the country." ”

Gan Mao replied in a low voice: "Haven't you seen the situation in the palace clearly? After the loss of her son, she was heartbroken and lacked her senses, so she not only didn't believe what she said to me. On the contrary, I will think that I am powerful, and for my own purposes, I will do whatever it takes to check and balance the right minister. provoke the relationship between Qin Huihou and Mi Bazi. When the right minister heard that the king entrusted the country to me, how would he feel? Taking a step back, the king really wants to support Gu Jiangshan, and he should also be the right minister. The right minister is not only the younger brother of the first king, but also the uncle of the king. The right minister is also a member of the clan, with high morality and great achievements. If there is really a trust, it should be entrusted to him. How can they be entrusted to me, a minister with a foreign surname? Especially now on the cusp of the storm, no one believes it. Even these people will think that the king is seriously ill and has been held hostage by me, so he will make absurd and foolish decrees. ”

Meng Ben said: "Zuo Xiang's words, isn't it a betrayal of the king's trust in you." Are you worthy of the king in doing so? ”

Gan Mao said: "The two generals Wu and Meng Ben, Wang Shangyong died, and you and I are to blame." I'm sure we'll all end up in jail soon. ”

Wu Huo and Meng Ben were puzzled and asked, "Who dares to touch me." ”

"Why did the king die, there must be an explanation! There are many people in the Qin State who oppose us. Gan Mao sighed: "The Qin State no longer has a foothold for us. ”

The death of the king is a nine-tripod, and he died in despair, what does it have to do with them? Since the death of King Dang of Qin, Gan Mao's whole person has also changed. Now, Gan Mao's words make Wu Huo and Meng Ben think that he is too worried.

Gan Mao refused the two and walked out of the palace alone. Gan Mao understood that Empress Hui asked him to leave the palace and go back to rest, which meant that he would never be able to ascend to the high hall of the Qin State again.

In the main hall, Qin Huihou's temperament changed greatly because of the loss of her son, and she was no longer a gentle, virtuous and virtuous woman, and roared: "My son is wise and powerful, and he is strong enough to pull out the mountains, how can he die, how can he die." ”

Queen Qin said: "Queen Mother, Brother Dang is dead, please mourn." ”

"Wu'er does not attack South Korea, pull Yiyang, Dingsanchuan, and pass through the Zhou room to view Jiuding. I won't raise the tripod, and if I don't raise the tripod, I won't offend the gods. The gods will not take my son's life. Qin Huihou's eyes showed a cold and piercing look, "Whoever killed my son, I will avenge him." ”

Win said: "The minister also does not advocate attacking South Korea. If the minister can suppress the public opinion, suppress the fanatical and warlike officials. He tried his best to dissuade the king from going to the Zhou room, and the king would not die. After Hui, if you want to punish you, you will punish your ministers. ”

Qin Huihou's eyes were full of blood, "Wang Er is willful and messing around." Why didn't Gan Mao, Wu Xu, Meng Ben and others stop his absurd move. ”

Seeing that Megumi was angry, she didn't know what words to use to comfort her.

"My son is dead, these people are alive and well." Qin Huihou said coldly: "Wu'er has not yet established meritorious deeds, so he left miserably. I will bury these men for the king's son. Right Minister, what can you do to kill them? ”

Thinking about it, he arched his hand and said: "After Hui, Gan Mao is the left minister, and he is also a general, and he is in a high position. There are also many ministers in the DPRK and China who support him. If we kill him, it may cause chaos in the court. ”

"I can't do that much." Qin Huihou said angrily: "If it weren't for them instigating Wu'er, Wu'er wouldn't have given his life in vain." ”

After a while, Shu Changzhuang entered the main hall and arched his hand: "See Queen Hui, Queen, and Right Minister." When I heard that Brother Wang's brother Luo Yi Juding was seriously injured, I brought some good plasters and came to see how Brother Wang's condition was. ”

Qin Huihou looked at Shu Changzhuang, and said sadly in his eyes: "You have a heart." , it's gone. He won't need your plaster. ”

Shu Changzhuang was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "The king is in good health, how can he leave?" After Hui, I heard that the king lifted the crown and injured his muscles and bones. It is common for a good martial artist to break his muscles and bones, and he will not give his life. ”

When Qin Huihou heard this, his heart was full of doubts and said, "What are you talking about." Broken bones and bones will not cost you your life. ”

Shu Changzhuang replied: "The right prime minister led the army to fight with the princes, but I have seen soldiers who broke their arms and legs and gave their lives. ”

Qin Huihou stared at Ying Ji and waited for his answer.

"It is true that there are many soldiers who have broken arms and lost legs because of the war, but if they are treated in time and their wounds do not fester, they will not lose their lives." ”

Qin Huihou said: "In this way, if Wu'er lifts the Ding and breaks the tibia, he will not die." My son's death, for another reason, was murdered. ”

Ying Ji said: "The minister is not in Luoyi, and he has never watched the king raise the crown. I don't know what happened when the king returned from Luoyi. Whether the king's death was a desperate death, or was it caused by broken tibia, excessive bleeding, and improper medical treatment. Or for another reason, it's hard to draw conclusions. ”

Qin Huihou looked at Wang Er, then at Shu Changzhuang, and asked, "Zhuang'er, are you willing to recognize me as the queen mother." ”

When Gongzi Zhuang heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Zhuang'er, please see the queen mother." ”

Qin Hui said again: "You go and kowtow to Dang'er a few times." ”

Gongzi Zhuang kowtowed a few more times.

Qin Huihou asked: "Dang'er entrusted the country to me before he died, and he also intended to make you king." If you are king, how will you rule the world of Qin? ”

Gongzi Zhuang said: "Everything is up to the queen mother." ”

"Good. is worthy of being a person valued by a. Qin Huihou said angrily: "After you succeed to the throne, you must find out about the death of Lang'er and avenge Lang'er." ”

Three hours later, a mournful cry was heard in the main hall, and a waiter stood outside the hall and shouted in unison: "The king is dead, and everyone mourns." ”

The sound of the death knell permeated the entire Xianyang Palace.

Gongzi He crushed the cup in his hand and said angrily: "The king is really dead." We were all deceived by Ganmao. What do we do now? ”

Gongzi Yong turned around the wine cup in his hand, "The king is dead, and we have a legitimate reason to return to Xianyang." Let's wait and see how it changes, and watch the development of the Qin dynasty. ”

Gongzi He said: "The king is dead, and there are no heirs." According to the law of the ancestors, a sage will be chosen from among the king's elder brothers. After we deliberated, we elected Gongzi Yong as king. ”

Gongzi Yong looked at the brothers and arched his hand: "I thank you brothers for looking up to me." If I am the king, I will definitely share the country of Qin with you and enjoy the wealth together. ”

At dawn the next day, whether it was an official, a merchant or a slave in the Qin State, they all wore white clothes and kept filial piety. During the mourning period, Qin Huihou said: "Who dares to destroy the funeral of King Qin and kill." ”

During the mourning period of King Qin, although the princes had abnormal movements, they did not dare to be too presumptuous and attend the funeral in accordance with the rules.

On the first day after King Qin's funeral, Empress Qin Hui welcomed Changzhuang as the new King of Qin in front of his ministers.

The minister of Qin arched his hand and said: "Everything is up to Empress Hui." ”

Qin Huihou said: "Gan Mao attacked South Korea, pulled out Yiyang, and set Sanchuan, which is meritorious." failed to dissuade Wang Shangju Jiuding, resulting in Wang Shangyong's death, which is a big deal. Ganmao, you may confess your sins. ”

After seeing Hui, everyone challenged Gan Mao and spoke out to defend it.

Qin Huihou asked, "Gan Mao, can you plead guilty." ”

When Gan Mao heard this, his expression was calm. This day, he had already thought of it. During the mourning period, he also saw the turbulent situation in the Qin State, and a major turmoil could not be avoided after all. Qin Wangdang's death, he has an unshirkable responsibility. In today's situation, it is necessary to find someone to come forward and confess his sins in order to calm the anger of the people. In order to protect his family and clansmen, Gan Mao saluted the bureaucrats and pleaded guilty: "The death of the king, the minister, is to blame." Minister, accept the guilt. ”

Qin Huihou didn't expect him to confess his guilt so readily, thinking of his previous merits and loyalty to the master, his murderous intent towards him was slightly reduced, "You have merit in attacking Yiyang, but you have been in protecting the king, and the merits and demerits are compensated, so you will be immediately removed from the position of left prime minister and the rank of general, and you will be imprisoned, you can accept it." ”

"The minister deserves it." Gan Mao held up the tiger talisman and official seal in his hand, "Please Empress Hui for the sake of my merits for the Qin State, not for the sake of Lianchen's family." ”

Qin Huihou sent someone to subordinate the tiger talisman and the official seal, and replied, "Okay, as you wish." ”

"Thanks, Empress Hui." Gan Mao bowed and retreated.

All the ministers said: "You can't benefit the queen!" Zuo Xiang has made great contributions to the Qin State, how can he be imprisoned. This will chill the hearts of the Great Qin soldiers. ”

"Gan Mao has merits, but also great faults." Qin Huihou shouted: "Whoever dares to intercede for him is guilty of the same crime." ”

When everyone saw Hui, they were angry, and they didn't dare to speak.

Meng Ben pleaded: "Empress Hui, Zuo Xiang is loyal to the country, you can't treat him like this!" ”

Qin Huihou was angry, "As a general, Meng Ben is incapable of stopping the king from lifting the crown and protecting the king's safety. capital offense, and punishment for the nine clans. ”

"I miss Meng Ben, loyalty is the Lord. It ended up in such a desolate place. Empress Hui wants me to die, but I dare not die. The country of Qin is handed over to you, how can it last long. King Qin, the minister can't stand you. Huihou, I'm waiting for you in the underworld. After speaking, Meng Ben's blood was splattered on the spot.

When everyone saw Meng Ben's death, their eyes opened angrily, and they didn't have to look at them for a long time. Wu Huo laughed, personally stepped forward to close his eyes for Meng Ben, and said wildly: "King Qin, this is your queen mother." Though U was a rough man, how could he serve her? After saying that, Wu Yu was also splashed with blood on the spot.

Qin Huihou waved his hand and said, "Drag it down." ”

Qi Rong said in a low voice: "Empress Hui imprisoned Gan Mao, killed Wu Huo and Meng Ben, two meritorious generals, and lost the hearts of the people. ”

Wei Ran also said: "Yes! Over the years, Gan Mao and Ying Ji have cooperated tacitly. With Gan Mao and winning diseases, why is the Qin State not strong. Huihou's move is to self-destruct the Great Wall! ”

Qin Huihou threatened: "Wu'er, before dying, I want to make Gongzi Zhuang the king." ”

An old man said, "The king has no heirs. It is natural to choose from among the king's peers those who are highly respected. Gongzi Zhuang is a concubine, and if he is a king, it is difficult to be convinced. ”

"Gongzizhuang has recognized me as his mother, isn't this identity enough?" Qin Huihou said: "Gongzi is the eldest son, and his exploits are obvious to all." Gongzi Zhuang is the eldest son of the first prince, and he is a virtuous person, and these conditions are added together, is he not worthy of being the king? ”

Suddenly, a man burst out laughing.

Qin Huihou asked, "Who dares to be so presumptuous." ”

"Empress Hui welcomed Gongzi Zhuang as the king, and Mi Bazi refused to accept it."

"Mi Bazi, how can you be qualified to speak here."

"I'm not qualified. But my son is the son of the first king, and he is also qualified. Mi Bazi said: "The king of Qin has no children and died suddenly. All present here are the ministers of the court and the sons of the previous kings. The throne is very important, how can you have the final say. ”

"Establishing Gongzi Zhuang as the king is the meaning of a prodigal child."

"Who is the witness?"

"Gan Mao, Wu Xu, and Meng Ben can all testify."

Gan Mao was imprisoned, and Wu Yu and Meng Ben's blood was splashed on the spot. Huihou, you are coaxing a three-year-old child. Wu Huo and Meng Ben suffered this robbery because they didn't agree with your proposition! ”

"Mi Bazi, you don't want to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I killed you."

"You can even detain the left prime minister and kill the meritorious general. You won't kill me? Mi Bazi turned to the princes and said, "Empress Hui can kill me today, kill my child." Tomorrow, I can kill you. ”

"Mi Bazi Hugh wants to talk nonsense." Qin Huihou threatened: "What is your identity, dare to talk to me like this." The wives of the first kings, their beauties, and their beloveds are above you. You are not even qualified to be the concubine of the previous king. You can't be presumptuous here. ”

"My identity in the Qin State is the eighth son, yes. But I bore three sons to the king. Mi Bazi said with a smile: "All the sons here are the bloodlines of the previous kings, and they are all qualified to become kings. Whoever is the king should have the final say in the minister, how can you let you have the final say? ”

The words of the eighth son provoked the ambition of the princes to compete for the throne.

Gongzi He said angrily: "What Mi Bazi said is good. Whoever is the king will not be able to let you have the final say. ”

The other princes also chimed in.

Qin Huihou said angrily: "Do you want to rebel? ”

Mi Bazi fought back: "Ligongzi is the king, I don't accept it." ”

"Whom do you mean to make king?"

"Wu'er, Gongzi Fu."

"The son here is the king, and I have no opinion. Not to mention the low status of Mi Bazi, Gongzi Fu is not a grandson, a long, or a virtuous, how can he be worthy of becoming the king of Qin. ”

"There is a state of Chu today, and they all believe that their fate is their own, and they must rely on their own hands to realize it, and don't believe in any heavenly way." Mi Bazi raised his voice and said: "In the world, how can anyone be poor all the time. ”

When the princes heard this, they said angrily: "Ligongzi is the king, and I will not accept it." ”

"It's the other way around." Qin Huihou said angrily: "Come on, take down the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

A large group of soldiers poured out.

Seeing this, Gongzi He and Gongzi Yong broke the wine bottle, and a large group of soldiers also poured in.

Seeing this, Wei Ran and Qi Rong shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Several people gathered in the main hall and glared angrily.

Qin Huihou said angrily: "Those who commit trouble, kill." ”
