Chapter 19 My apprentice is the second generation of the king

That night, Princess Wu came to Changyang Palace with her attendants.

Zi Chu, Zhao Ji and others had been waiting for a long time, Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng stepped forward to meet Princess Wu one by one, and everyone chatted for a while, and someone came forward to report that a banquet had been prepared.

Everyone sat down, and Princess Wu took the lead in speaking: "I wanted to set up a banquet for you in my Changlin Palace, but now I have become a guest of Changyang Palace. ”

As soon as Princess Wu's words fell, a waiter brought a jar of old wine.

Zi Chu remembered Lu Buwei's words, and felt that this Princess Wu must not be well-intentioned, so he declined: "The princess Niangniang's heart Zi Chu has received it, since she came to my Changyang Palace, she should drink the wine in my Changyang Palace, and the good wine brought by the mother will be left for Zi Chu to taste slowly in the future." ”

"That's fine!" Wu Wangfei was afraid that Zichu would see the flaw, so she didn't continue to talk about the wine, and started chatting about it.

At this moment, a waiter came to report that the king had arrived.

Everyone was about to get up to greet each other, and King Qin Wen had already entered the lobby laughing "haha".

Everyone hurriedly knelt down to pay respects, and King Wen of Qin waved his hand to let everyone get up. Zichu stepped forward and invited King Qin Wen to sit down on the throne, and apologized: "The son doesn't know that his father is coming, and he has missed the welcome, so please ask my father to surrender!"

"Lone is just passing by, by the way, come to see my grandson!"

Zichu hurriedly asked Ying Zheng to step forward, and Ying Zheng stepped forward and gave a big salute respectfully: "Zheng'er knocks on his grandfather, may his grandfather live forever!"

King Qin Wen leaned down and touched Yingzheng's head lovingly: "It's really worthy of being my good grandson, come, happy today, everyone drink hard, don't get drunk and don't return!"

King Qin Wen happened to see the jar of aged wine sent by Princess Wu, King Qin Wen's good wine, and slapped the mud seal open.

A fragrant aroma of wine came to the nose, and the amber wine dew rippled in the wine jar, and the rich aroma of wine made people can't help but take a deep sip.

"This is the ten-year aging of the old Wu family, and I am reluctant to give it to the king to drink on weekdays, but now I have sent a large jar to the prince, so I want to bribe the prince and find a backer for the future!" King Qin Wen joked.

Princess Wu immediately pretended to be unhappy: "The king has no conscience when he says this, the good wine in my Changlin Palace is prepared for the king, when did the king go and drink the best wine?

"Don't feel distressed, don't feel distressed! So, how about everyone have a drink, ahahaha!" King Qin Wen sniffed at the mouth of the wine jar, and asked the waiter to come up and pour wine for everyone.

King Qin Wen took the wine bottle in his hand and took the lead in drinking it all.

When Princess Wu saw King Qin Wen holding the wine glass, she hurriedly shouted, "King, you can't drink that wine!"

It's just too late, and at this moment, King Qin Wen has already poured a full bottle of wine into his stomach.

Seeing that Princess Wu's face was different, Zi Chu remembered Lu Buwei's warning, and immediately asked: "What's in the wine? Could it be that someone poisoned the wine?"

"Goo-dong!" Ying Zheng was also happy to see the hunt, and planned to taste the wine of the Qin Dynasty.

"Oh mom! I just remembered that in history, King Qin Wen seemed to have been the king for three days and died, so he couldn't have been poisoned by this poisonous wine, right?"

Ying Zheng was so frightened that he spit out the remaining wine in his mouth again and again, and clasped his throat vigorously, trying to induce the wine that had been drunk into his stomach to vomit.

Ying Zheng felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, opened his mouth, and fell to the ground without even saying a word.

The moment he fell to the ground, he clearly saw that King Qin Wen was already foaming at the ground and convulsing.

What Ying Zheng didn't know was that the moment he fell to the ground, a stream of earthy yellow energy quickly enveloped his heart, and from the heart as the center, in every beat, as the arterial blood flow gradually spread to the hundred remains, it soon filled the whole body.

There was chaos in the entire Changyang Palace.

After Zi Chu woke up from his panic, he hurriedly sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, and by the time the imperial doctor arrived in a hurry, King Qin Wen had already died of anger.

Princess Wu had a strange and inexplicable smile on her face, foaming at the mouth, her body curled up like a boiled prawn, and died not far from King Qin Wen.

This is clearly a drama designed to frame him, Zichu was at a loss, it happened that Lu Buwei rushed to hear the news, he took a look, Zhao Ji hugged Ying Zheng and cried silently, and couldn't help but change his complexion, and when he reached out and probed, he found that Ying Zheng's pulse and heartbeat had not been broken, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

After a burst of pain, Lu Buwei took out a jade bottle from his close-fitting clothes, poured out the only black lacquer pill in the bottle, stuffed it into Ying Zheng's mouth, and after pinching several magic tricks, he pointed at the center of Ying Zheng's eyebrows.

After doing all this, Ying Zheng's breath became stable, Lu Buwei exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and motioned Zhao Ji to take Ying Zheng down to rest, Zhao Ji nodded at Lu Buwei with tearful eyes, and then picked up Ying Zheng and went down, she knew that Ying Zheng's fate was saved.

Lu Buwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said slowly: "The wine comes from Changlin Palace, the poison must have been given by Princess Wu, the purpose is to poison the prince, and now the king died by drinking poisonous wine by mistake, Princess Wu committed suicide in fear of crime, and there is no proof of death!"

Zi Chu worried: "How should this be good? My father died in my palace, how can I explain it to the ministers and the people of the court now? No one can afford this crime, how can I be good?"

Lü Buwei thought for a while and suggested: "Since the king has returned to heaven, the crown prince's top priority is to inherit the throne and take charge of the country, so as not to vacate the throne, cause military disasters and turmoil, and cause other countries to take advantage of it!"

Zi Chu felt that his words were reasonable, and immediately notified the Ying clan and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu to discuss the funeral of King Wen of Qin and the succession to the throne.

Lü Buwei secretly mobilized the Tiger Ben army to guard the royal city in case of accidents.

The black veil inside and outside the Xianyang Palace, the coffin of King Qin Wen was parked here, and Zichu knelt and sat facing the coffin of King Qin Wen.

King Qin Wen died three days after ascending the throne, and the throne came too easily and too suddenly, and Zichu was at a loss for a while.

The ministers came to mourn one by one, Zichu hid his face and cried, looking grief-stricken, extremely fainting, and all the ministers said: "The prince is benevolent and filial!"

At this moment, Lu Buwei hurried in and muttered a few words in Zi Chu's ear, Zi Chu stood up suddenly, retreated left and right, and took Lu Buwei into the inner room.

"Is this true?"

As soon as he entered the inner room, Zichu asked eagerly.

"The generals stationed in Chenggao, Meng Wei and Dongguo Fang, were instigated by Shicang and led their troops to the west gate of Xianyang!

Under the banner of avenging the previous king, they demand that the culprit be traced!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there?"

"No less than 100,000 people are reported!"

"How is this good?" Zi Chu was taken aback, the tiger army in the city was no more than tens of thousands, how could this be resisted.

"The prince doesn't have to worry too much, the two generals who besieged Xianyang, except for one who is Shicang's son-in-law Dong Guo Fang. The other Meng Fu is Wu Anjun's subordinate general, who is loyal and brave, presumably because he listened to slander, was deceived by Shicang, and did not know the truth, so he led the troops here.

And send a man who can speak the truth, and after explaining the truth to him, he will definitely be able to understand things and turn against him!"

"Having said that, I also know that this person has always been loyal and patriotic, but who can go out of the city to lobby for Mengfu, all the ministers in the court must be waiting and watching, if the person sent has two hearts, wouldn't it be even worse!" Zi Chu sighed.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and chuckled: "What does the prince think of Zhao Gao?"

Zi Chu's eyes lit up: "Zhao Gao, this person is a side of the Ying family, and the Qin State who returned with me should not be Shicang and Zi Jie's people." Although Zhao Gao is a eunuch, he is also shrewd and capable, good at observing words and feelings, and good at rhetoric, so he must be able to take on this important responsibility!"

The army outside Xianyang City came to the city, and the people in the city were panicked, and Zhao Gao went out of the city to lobby Meng Fu for his life and death.

Lü Buwei quickly commanded the Tiger Army to surround all the princes' mansions involved in the rebellion, and arrested them for three days and three nights, and the masterminds were arrested one after another.

The thief captured the king first, the mastermind was arrested, Zi Chu's hanging heart finally let go of a lot, just waiting for Zhao Gao's lobbying to succeed, and the matter was considered to be half successful.

Lü Buwei and Zichu were discussing how to deal with the kings and grandchildren in the secret room, but they heard a shout outside: "The queen has arrived at the ......."
