Chapter 45: Clever Scheme
Steward Yu looked at Qin Qing in surprise, a little incredulous, she was able to find a solution in such a short time: "What is the clever plan of the young lady?" ”
Qin Qing smiled and didn't answer, deliberately betrayed it, and asked Steward Yu: "Uncle Yu thinks that Lu Buwei chose to help King Zhuang Xiang in the first place, and later poisoned him for what?" ”
"Naturally, it is for the sake of profit and power, Lü Buwei is a businessman who refuses to suffer, he spent all his money to help King Zhuang Xiang, he wanted to wait for King Zhuang Xiang to ascend the throne, so that he could obtain greater benefits. But he didn't want King Zhuang Xiang to understand his ambitions, and over the years, he has gradually broken away from the control of his forces, and with Lu Buwei's nature, he must not be willing to eat this secret loss, so he bought the palace people to poison him. Steward Yu calmly analyzed the purpose behind Lu Buwei.
Qin Qing played with the empty cup in his hand and continued to ask: "Even if Lu Buwei poisons King Zhuang Xiang, he can't sit on the throne justly, that will be pointed out by Qianfu, not to mention that he doesn't have that strength now." What does Uncle Yu think he will sit down next again? ”
"Yi Lu Buwei's temperament should be to choose one of the sons of King Zhuangxiang, support the new lord to ascend to the throne, and then control the government behind the back in the name of King Qin's young age." Steward Yu is worthy of being an old man who has been in the mall for a long time, and he guessed Lu Buwei's mind roughly the same.
"If Qing'er says that Lü Buwei's son has a chance to sit on the throne in a bright and bright way, does Uncle Yu think Lü Buwei will help his son become the king of Qin?" Qin Qing began to bring his words to the point.
"Then it will naturally help, after all, the son of King Zhuangxiang may betray him in the future, but his own son will not. It's just that although Lü Buwei is rich and rivals the country, it is impossible to make his son the king of Qin. Steward Yu felt that what Qin Qing said could not happen, but then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "What the young lady said is ......"
"Yes, Qing'er is talking about Zhao Zheng." Qin Qing saw that Steward Yu probably guessed who she was referring to, so he said it directly.
Qin Qing was thinking of the rumors about Zhao Zheng's father in later generations, no matter whose son Zhao Zheng was, he was the Qin Shi Huang in history after all, if he didn't want future generations to be affected by too many changes, it was best to follow the trajectory of historical development. She was a little afraid that she would disappear in her heart, and she was afraid that her mother's life in the future would be affected.
Steward Yu pondered for a while, and felt that things were not as simple as Qin Qing said: "The young lady is sure, Lu Buwei is very suspicious, how can he easily believe that Gongzizheng is his son?" ”
"Qing'er is not completely sure." Qin Qing said truthfully: "But Qin Er knows that King Zhuangxiang is seriously ill, and the people of Xianyang City will definitely guess who will succeed King Qin in private. If someone mentions Gongzizheng who stayed in Zhao State at this time, and then raises rumors about Zhao Zheng's life experience, it will definitely attract Lü Buwei's attention. ”
"But Lü Buwei may also suspect that this is a layout." Steward Yu suggested another possibility.
Qin Qing smiled noncommittally: "Uncle Yu thinks that compared to the other sons of King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Zheng, which one seems to be easier to control?" ”
Steward Yu suddenly realized: "Yu understands, so let's arrange it." ”
"Uncle Yu, let's go back to Xianyang as soon as possible, I'm afraid that King Zhuangxiang's poison won't last long." Qin Qing called out to Steward Yu, who was about to go out, with a worried look on his face. She was not afraid that Ying Zichu would die, but that Ying Zichu would die too early, and before she could make arrangements, Lu Buwei chose a candidate to succeed to the throne. Steward Yu nodded and exited the room.
Qin Qing originally planned to take Ding Yi back to Tong County together, but with his injuries, he could no longer run back and forth, and he had been chased and killed by the men in black, so he was afraid that he would be recognized when he returned to Qin State, but it would be even more dangerous. Before leaving, Qin Qing had no choice but to send him to Gao's mansion and entrust Master Gao to take care of him.
Approaching the New Year, in Xianyang City in winter, everyone was busy for the New Year, until the news of King Zhuangxiang's poisoning came out in the palace of King Qin, and everyone began to put down their work and gathered together to discuss. Except for King Zhaoxiang, who reigned for 56 years, the rest of the kings of Qin did not reign for long, and these people have long been accustomed to it, but King Xiaowen and King Zhuangxiang, father and son, were both poisoned, which more or less aroused the gossip of the people of Xianyang. At first, the people only discussed it privately, but as King Zhuangxiang became more and more poisonous each time, the imperial doctors were helpless, and the government and the opposition in the palace began to be in chaos, and the people began to speculate in public about the next candidate for the king of Qin.
Qin Qing was dressed in white, with a white veil on his face, and Steward Yu and Xiu'er walked into the most famous restaurant in Xianyang City-Drunken Immortal Residence. The Drunken Immortal Residence is very lively, and there are no vacant seats in the lobby of the restaurant, but fortunately, Butler Yu has booked a place in advance. Xiu'er called Xiao Er to lead the way, and the three of them walked into a small box in the hall and ordered a few small dishes and wine at random. When the wine and food came up, Steward Yu rewarded Xiao Er with a few copper plates, signaling him to step back and not have to come to greet him again. Xiao Er saw that the three of them liked to be quiet, and they got a lot of rewards, so they withdrew again and again to greet other guests.
Qin Qing sat and looked around, this so-called box was not like the private room she had seen in later generations, it was just a space separated in the hall by a screen. Not only can the people in the box speak, but the people in the hall can hear it, and the noisy sound outside can also come in, and there is no sound insulation effect at all, but it is just for the convenience of dignitaries and ladies who are not suitable to show their heads.
Because the screen is not soundproof, in addition to saying something inconsequential, Qin Qing and the three of them just lowered their heads and ate wine and food, as if they were waiting for something. It wasn't until they heard a rough male voice outside that the three of them put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation outside.
"Have you heard? The poison in King Zhuangxiang is the same as the poison in King Xiaowen three years ago. The rough male voice spoke in a slightly jerky Xianyang dialect, as if he was discussing the poisoning of King Zhuang Xiang with his companions, although he deliberately lowered his voice, but he originally belonged to a loud voice, and the words he said were still transmitted word for word into the box where Qin Qing was. It is estimated that not only Qin Qing, but also many people in the hall heard his voice, because the noise outside was much quieter.
The man didn't seem to notice anything unusual around him, and continued to say to his companion: "You said that the person behind this poisoning could it be the same person?" ”
"You are really lonely and unheard, after King Xiaowen was poisoned three years ago, he immediately died of poison, this King Zhuang Xiang was poisoned for a while, how could the two be the same kind of poison?" Another, slightly shrill voice with disdain, seemed to be the companion of a rugged male voice.
Seeing that his speculation was rejected, the rugged male voice was a little unconvinced: "It may be that King Xiaowen took a lot of poison, so he died immediately, and King Zhuang Xiang was only poisoned every time to delay it to this day." ”
