Chapter 5: Pilgrimage

The day after Gongzi Fusu was born, there was a great court meeting, and the original topic was to celebrate the victory of Qin in the war with Wei to capture twenty cities, and to discuss the follow-up arrangements. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but because of the birth of the first son of King Qin, it looks like the content is going to be added temporarily.

In the study room north of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was looking at the recital that he hadn't finished reading yesterday, with a faint smile on his face, still rejoicing at the birth of his first child. An attendant knocked softly on the door outside, "Your Majesty, the ministers have arrived, and it's time for the court to discuss." ”

Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slip gently, didn't care about the unfinished recital, stretched his waist, and said, "Let's go, has the Empress Dowager agreed?" ”

The chamberlain followed closely behind, and while chasing Ying Zheng, who was striding forward, replied, "The Queen Mother has sent someone over and said that it is okay." Lord Meng Da was afraid of disturbing the king's rest, so he did not let the servants enlighten the king. ”

"Got it." Ying Zheng said that he knew, and still walked towards the main hall of Xianyang Palace without stopping, suddenly stopped, stood aside respectfully and said: "The child greets his mother, mother, is your body okay?" Do you want to rest for a few more days? ”

Walking slowly from another road was a woman in her 40s, with a sickly look on her face, but it was still difficult to hide her handsome appearance, and she seemed to be able to hook her soul with a smile.

"It's okay, today's court discussion, how can I not show up, if you grow up quickly." There was some tiredness in the woman's voice, but it was still as good as a oriole's singing. "Come with me."

"Yes." Ying Zheng replied respectfully, and then took her mother's arm from the palace maid's hand and gently helped her to go up to the palace together.

"The king has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived." With a sharp shout from the waiter, Ying Zheng helped his mother to sit in her seat, and then walked to her seat. The ministers in the main hall quickly quieted down, waiting for today's deliberations to begin.

Ying Zheng looked at the group of ministers standing in the hall, and said with a smile on his face, "Zhongqing, let's not talk about anything else today, the widow has something to say today." ”

Ying Zheng looked at his mother behind him, and when he saw his mother nodding slightly, he motioned to the waiter: "Xuan." ”

The chamberlain bowed respectfully, half-turned to face the ministers, opened the prepared edict and read it.

"Looking at the sun in the winter moon, thunder fell from the sky, Taishi said, thunder out of crape myrtle and descended on Yongzhou, this saint out of Qinyan. In the future, the prince of Qin helped Su to descend with the winter thunder, holding the stone of the word Qin, which is really blessed by God. The Mi family was crowned queen with the merit of the state. Starting tomorrow, we will take a three-day break to celebrate with the people. ”

When the ministers heard this, they knelt down one after another, and said: "God bless Daqin, congratulations to my king, thank the king, thank the queen mother." ”

After the ministers thanked each other, there was a brief lull, and the ministers either looked at each other or exchanged ears. Lü Buwei was at the head of the ministers, his eyes and face drooped slightly, and he did not move.

It didn't take long for one of the nine Qings, Feng Chang, who was in charge of the etiquette of the temple, to say that he had something to say, Ying Zheng did not speak, and looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also looked at Ying Zheng, and the mother and son looked at Lu Buwei together, and saw that he only frowned slightly and did not say anything.

"The son inherits the will of heaven, and since he is the eldest son of the great prince, please canonize the prince to settle the society."

A simple sentence caused a buzz in the court, most of the courtiers looked at Lü Buwei, but Lü Buwei only frowned tighter, as if he was displeased, but did not object.

So after Fengchang, more ministers appeared in Hula and expressed their secondment.

In a seconding voice, Zong Zheng, who was also Jiuqing, rushed out, his eyes were like copper bells, staring at Fengchang and other officials, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour, he arched his hand to Yingzheng, and said angrily: "King, this proposal is not appropriate, the son has just been born, the virtuous and the foolish are difficult to distinguish, the king is not pro-government, you are waiting to set up the prince, what is the intention?" ”

"The Mi family was originally the wife of the king, and now she is the queen, and the son was born as the eldest son, and it is not a matter of time before he becomes the prince, so why not be earlier?" Immediately, another minister who advocated the establishment of a prince came out to refute it.

"The prince of Great Qin has never only been a concubine, the king has not yet been crowned, and the prince's son does not know how many people are in the future, and the establishment of the prince is related to the fortunes of the country, so it can be hastily decided."

The ministers of the two factions come and go, fighting for each other's faces, red ears, beards and hair, there is a possibility of a big fight, Ying Zheng is gradually gloomy on the throne, and he looks at Lu Buwei from time to time, but he does not see the slightest movement.

Yesterday, Meng Wu's suggestion, he didn't take it to heart, but he gave birth to a son, although it was accompanied by a different phase, but it was not a big deal, but looking at the situation in the court today, he somewhat understood what Meng Wu meant. Now that he is about to become pro-government, Meng Wu is afraid that Lü Buwei will love the position of power, and after establishing the crown prince, he will take risks and kill himself, and then set up Fusu as the king.

"What does Lu Xiang think?" The Queen Mother spoke at this time.

The court was also quiet, and the eyes of the ministers fell on Lü Buwei, with hope, vigilance and hostility.

After Lü Buwei signaled to the Queen Mother and Ying Zheng, he slowly glanced at the court, and the ministers lowered their heads everywhere they looked.

"The minister thinks that it is not too late to discuss everything after the prince's administration." Lü Buwei's words attracted a lot of incredible eyes in the court.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Then wait for Zheng'er to be in charge of the government." ”

After the Queen Mother spoke, the ministers put aside the matter regardless of whether they were unwilling or lucky.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'll go and rest first, and I'll make friends with Lu Xiang and the ministers about attacking Wei." With that, he got up and prepared to leave

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother." All the ministers bowed down together to see the Empress Dowager Zhao leave.

Ying Zheng got up from his seat, as if he was going to leave with his mother, but the Empress Dowager Zhao said: "You stay here and learn how to deal with the government from the ministers, I'm fine, go and see Fusu." ”

Yingzheng had no choice but to sit down anew, watching Lü Buwei preside over the ministers to discuss the establishment of Dongjun on the territory of the newly conquered Wei State, how to reward the soldiers, and various matters at the end of the year.

Empress Dowager Zhao, with the support of the maid, came to the Lan Hall where the Mi family was located. The Mi family was a little afraid of the Queen Mother, who was more than ten years older than herself, and said softly, "Welcome to the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand to the Mi family, who was about to get up, signaling that she didn't need to get up, and slowly walked towards Fusu. Looking at his little face, he couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but he didn't expect to wake up Fusu, who was still dreaming, and Yu's crying echoed endlessly in the palace.

Fusu was dreaming, in the dream he returned to his previous life, was waiting with his classmates on the top of Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, the sun was just about to show his head, his cheeks seemed to be borrowed by someone to be used as a warm bag, so he shouted "don't bother", and then was woken up by his own crying, maybe he was hungry or maybe he was very unhappy that the dream was disturbed, he continued to cry unceremoniously.

Empress Dowager Zhao was a little embarrassed, looked at Fusu who was picked up by the nurse, and said: "It's really like Zheng'er, it looks like it, it looks like it, and it looks like crying, and the voice is so annoying." Then he turned his head and said to the Qi family: "The king has made you the queen, don't live here in the future, move to the pepper room, it will be warmer there, and you and the child will be more comfortable." "The pepper house is a residence for the queen, and it has been empty.

Ying Zheng didn't send someone to tell her the news, the Qi family was at a loss in the face of the sudden happiness, and even forgot to thank the Queen Mother, but the Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care, and continued: "If you give birth to Fusu, you will make meritorious service to the king of Qin, but this is not enough, you must teach Fusu well, you know!" ”

The Mi family came to his senses and hurriedly responded: "The concubine knows." ”

"You have a good rest, I'll come to see you and Fusu in a few days." After speaking, Empress Dowager Zhao left with the maid and returned to her Ganquan Palace.

Fusu has also eaten and drunk enough, the key is to drink enough, and was gently sent back to the Mi family by the nurse, who looked at his son and said softly: "Little guy, you are almost the prince of Qin." ”

Fusu pursed his lips, thinking to himself, why is it still almost, as the eldest son of Yingzheng, isn't he the prince? I remember that there was a prince's tomb in Suide in later generations. However, it seems that he still can't fully control his body, and the pouting motion looks like he is sucking something.
