CHAPTER XIII

Ten years of changes, the Central Plains is still magnificent. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States are still there, but the six princes of the past are still the vassal states of the past. Only the Qin State dominated the princes, and no one dared to offend.

At the highest point of Xianyang Palace, a majestic man standing in the wind wore a sword at his waist, facing an endless mountain and river and pondered. No one dared to disturb the escort team that followed.

Time passed, and the coldness of early autumn became stronger, and a eunuch who looked a little status took a cloak and put it on for him: "King, it's not early, you haven't eaten anything for a day, you should go back and eat some food." ”

"When will Liu Chang arrive?" It seemed that he didn't care about eating, and the man who was persuaded turned his head to look at the waiter, and a resolute and handsome face appeared. He is the winner of the 20-year-old, he is already a husband who stands up to the sky, and all his ambitions can spread his wings and fly high.

For the past ten years, he has nominally ruled the Qin state, but in reality, for ten years, the power has been occupied by Lü Buwei.

After ten years, a month ago, he finally smashed the entanglements that Lü Buwei had planted in the court for many years and regained power. After exiling Lü Buwei to the bitter cold land, he immediately held a pro-government ceremony, telling the world that he won the government and officially led the Great Qin Empire.

He remembered that Yiren told him before he died: Lü Buwei could not stay, Lü Buwei was intent on approaching him back then, using his status as the prince of Qin to plot the throne of Qin for him with the weakest status, and he himself was incompetent, and he relied on Lü Buwei's maneuvering to get what he wanted, so he promised Lü Buwei a high-ranking official Houlu to get rid of his lowly status as a businessman. This may be the end of his life.

But Lü Buwei is ambitious and calculating, even if he does not subvert the court in the future, he can disturb the peace of the Qin State. Therefore, he does not want his son to win politics and be at his mercy.

Yiren also explained that if he could bring down Lü Buwei one day, he could spare his life if necessary. After all, it was indeed Lü Buwei's plan, and their father and son had the opportunity to take over the Great Qin Empire.

He obeyed the instructions of the Yiren, took away all his rights and property, and executed all the important henchmen who followed Lü Buwei. Lü Buwei was left alone, but Lü Buwei probably felt that there was no point in living, and committed suicide on the way to exile.

A man who fell from the peak to hell and became nothing, controlled the Qin dynasty for twenty years, but he didn't expect to be knocked down by a young man who he thought he could control.

What he didn't know was that Ying Zheng had long been plotting with the Qin royal family and the Meng family. The aristocratic class of the Qin State already disdained Lu Buwei, and he was proud of his achievements. Finally, the accumulated antagonistic forces are getting bigger and bigger, and Ying Zheng seized the opportunity to hit with one blow, and from then on, there was no more Lu Buwei in the Qin court.

"Back to the king, General Liu will arrive in Xianyang in a few hours."

Because of his crippled body, Zhao Gao took over Liu Chang to take care of Ying Zheng's daily life, and after ten years, it can be said that he is perfect, so he has also become one of the most trusted people around Ying Zheng.

"Well, no matter how late it is, let him come to see me as soon as he arrives in Xianyang." After speaking, he turned around: "Go back to the palace." ”

Zhao Gao, who had become the head of the internal guard, did not dare to slack off, and followed behind Ying Zheng in an orderly manner, and a group of guards protected Ying Zheng so majestically that even mosquitoes could not get close.

At midnight, Ying Zheng sat down in front of the low couch. The couch behind him was piled up with bamboo slips that needed to be reviewed by him, and he had no mind to deal with it tonight. He looked at the belt embroidered with three white pear blossoms in his hand.

The ten-year appointment has arrived, is his Per Creek okay, is it still waiting for him? He told himself that whether or not Percy was waiting for him, he was going to find her, and he was absolutely going to reconnect the fate between them.

After becoming pro-government, he immediately arranged for Liu Chang to secretly go to the vicinity of the waterhole to find the whereabouts of Poxi, because only Liu Chang knew what he was going to do. If Poxi hadn't moved away, he would still be living in that pear orchard. Even if she is gone, her relationship with King Zhao will let him find her, he believes so much.

There was movement outside the door, and without waiting for Zhao Gao's report, Liu Chang, who was in a hurry, walked directly in front of Ying Zheng. One look at his disgraced face knows that he travels back and forth day and night.

"Zhao Gao, hurry up and arrange food and drink for me, I'm going to collapse a moment later." After speaking, Liu Chang really collapsed and sat down in front of Ying Zheng.

Liu Chang is still Liu Chang, although he ran to Mengwu's subordinates and mixed a general seriously, but in fact, he mainly stayed around Yingzheng and was responsible for the security around his dormitory.

When he first received this task, he was so happy to jump up and down, and shouted that Meng Wu was a godfather, that shameless look, he was really underbeaten. I didn't expect his faceless and skinless appearance Meng Wu was really useful, and he thought about him every day with any good things. made Meng Tian angry, and when the Meng Yi brothers saw him, they scolded him for being shameless and robbing their father. The most hateful thing is that even their mother-in-law was hooked up by him until Liu Chang and Liu Chang shouted every day, almost forgetting that they actually had two sons. Every day, he changed his tricks to make delicious food and asked his father to take it to the palace for him to eat, for fear that he would starve to death.

Meng Tian was on fire, and he fought with Liu Chang every day, and in the end, he could only fight a draw, and no one was good. And afterwards, his own father will beat him up again, because he doesn't respect his brother.

One of them was because Liu Chang provoked the two brothers to say that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and it must be that they were incompetent as sons that let the Mengwu couple find comfort in him.

A few words made the two brothers angry and wanted to dismantle him, of course, the fight still had to be Meng Tian, Meng Yi didn't know martial arts, so he could only cheer on the side.

As a result, after fighting for a long time, Meng Tian's hand was fractured, and Liu Chang broke two ribs. When she returned home, Meng's mother screamed in pain when she saw her son injured.

After learning that she was fighting with Liu Chang, and hearing that Liu Chang had broken two ribs, she slapped her son's head angrily and scolded: You are a dead child who is not big or small, brother, you will also beat you.

Meng Tian said that he had no brother, only Meng Yi and a younger brother. Because Liu Chang is one year older than him, in the eyes of Meng Wu and his wife, he has become the eldest son, and Meng Tian is naturally ranked as the second child.

Meng Yi also joined in opposing Liu Chang as their eldest brother, and Meng's mother finally slapped her little son, who had always been well-behaved: You don't stop your brothers, but you also encourage them to fight, you don't let your mother worry about it.

The next day, Meng Mu stewed a large pot of beef bone soup, most of which Meng Wu took to Liu Chang, and left a bowl for Meng Tian, Meng Yi didn't even smell it. Since then, the hatred of the three has spread throughout Xianyang City, adding a lot of good drama to the whole city.

Ying Zheng didn't urge Liu Chang to report the situation to him, even if he was eager to know the result, and waited for Liu Chang to take a breath before asking, "Can you see her?" ”

"I went around the waterhole and found no sign of anyone around. Even the original path was overgrown with weeds, as if no one had walked it in a long time. Then I went to the garden, and found that the pear orchard was still full of beauty, and the house was clean and tidy, but there was no popularity at all, and I lurked for a day and a night, and I did not see a single person. ”

Liu Chang finished speaking in one breath, looked at Ying Zheng's face, a little worried about him, and seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Chang said again: "I specially went to Jinyang City to inquire about King Zhao's niece, but none of them are named Poxi, and I heard that Princess Wuhe, the sister of King Zhao, went to the mother's house of the Empress Dowager Zhao of Bashu for treatment many years ago, and then married directly in Bashu." He also said that his husband died of illness five years ago, so he returned to Jinyang with his ten-year-old daughter, and King Zhao made the decision to let her remarry the general Li Mu. It's just that this mother and daughter don't live in the General's Mansion, saying that Princess Wuhe doesn't want Mrs. Li to be difficult, so she takes her daughter to live elsewhere. There are very few people in Jinyang City who know about them, I originally wanted to find out if the daughter of Princess Xuanhe is a little fairy, but the age is not right, and the time is not right, so I didn't investigate deeply. ”

Ying Zheng still didn't say much, he thought about what Perxi had told him not to let others know that she had the pear blossom birthmark on her. If Poxi is really King Zhao's niece, the matter of his sister-in-law is confusing. Will Perry Creek have anything to do with Princess Crane? Or is that pear blossom birthmark the key?

"King, what are your plans?" Liu Chang knew that although Ying Zheng had no expression on his face, he must have been disappointed

"The intention has never changed, in this life, she must be mine, no matter where she is, dead or alive, I have to find her."

If she is not where she is, and does not take the initiative to come to him, then he will go to her, even if it is heaven and earth.

"But, the king, there is a vast sea of people, and in case she gets married..."Before Liu Chang finished speaking, Ying Zheng glared at him, so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything. He can no matter how big or small he is with Ying Zheng, but the little fairy can't joke at all.

"By the way, the king, I took the time to meet the old man, it's strange, he's still alive, I wonder if he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, what he looked like when I was a child, what he still looks like now, and the most important thing is that he is still so powerful to beat me."

"Did the master say anything else?"

"I didn't say anything in particular, and I wasn't surprised to see me show up. But he said a few strange things, saying something, the sky is going to change, and the Warring States period is over or something. In the end, he naturally told me to take good care of you. Hmph, that old man, since I had you, I have been nothing, and I still brought so many delicious food and drinks to him from Qin State, and I didn't remember my goodness at all, thinking about you, as if I wasn't raised by him, you are. ”

"Then do you understand Brother Meng Tian's mood now?"

Ying Zhengben was in a somewhat gloomy mood, because Liu Chang's expression as if he had been abandoned amused. Thinking of the bitter gourd faces of the Meng Tian brothers, Ying Zheng, a person younger than them, couldn't help laughing.

Now the three of them are nearly 30 years old, and they have actually grown up a lot more introverted, especially the Meng Tian brothers, who are both literate and martial.

Meng Wu is no longer in charge of things, and the official position of the chief guard is replaced by Meng Tian. He and his wife are at home, in addition to the two own sons, Liu Chang is also extremely filial to them, often goes to the Meng family to make the second elder happy, and treats them as biological parents. Over time, Meng Tian and Meng Yi brothers also shouted and shouted to kill, but in fact, they had already recognized Liu Chang's status in their hearts, but they never opened their mouths.

Ying Zheng teased him that he didn't care, while eating the wine and meat that Zhao Gao came in, he said to Zhao Zheng in a serious tone: "King, seriously, you have been an adult for so long, there are a few ladies in the harem, and there are a bunch of palace maids, but you have not been sprinkled with rain and dew, and there are no heirs. ”

"I just want the baby from Perxi."

"Anyway, the position of the queen is left to the little fairy, and it is not abnormal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a person who is a king. As long as the king keeps the position of Mrs. Yan, it will not be considered a breach of promise to see the little fairy in the future, besides, you are the king of Qin, there must always be a man and half woman to block the mouth of the people, you don't know, there are rumors that you are not close to women, good men. ”

"Okay, I'm thinking about how to find out about finding Perxi, you go back to rest first, and I'll discuss it with you if necessary."

Liu Chang ate and drank to his heart's content, and then went out. knew that Ying Zheng didn't take his words at ease, because he didn't care about those so-called rumors, he had always been himself, not to mention who else dared to compete with him now?

Ying Zheng sat back on the couch and looked at several specially placed bamboo slips, he opened them one by one and looked at them, all of which were the letters of state from the princes and countries proposing marriage. He picked up Zhao Guo's marriage letter, read it carefully, and knocked on the desk rhythmically with one hand, and a plan was secretly .......
