When Mengwu's family buried Mengfu, and when they returned to Xianyang from the royal cemetery, they heard that Yingzheng had sent a large army to attack Wei.

"Father, I heard that the king sent Cheng Huan to attack Wei this time." Meng Tian said, "Can you be sure of winning?" ”

"My father is also worried about this." Meng Wu said solemnly, "Chang'an Jun's ability to lead troops is not mentioned for the time being, and it is a taboo to be the commander just because of his lack of experience." ”

"That's exactly what my father said." Meng Yi said, "If Cheng Huan is defeated, will Daqin lose anything?" ”

"Even if Cheng Huan is defeated, it is expected that the Wei State may not dare to invade the territory of Great Qin." Meng Wu said, "With the loss of some soldiers, Great Qin will not be injured. ”

"Father, we are not in Xianyang, and there is no one around the king now." Meng Tian said, "If there is no war, it is okay, now that the army is on the march, it is not so simple for the Chengcheng mutiny, once there is a change in Xianyang, I am afraid that the king will be in danger." ”

Meng Wu nodded and said: "What Tian'er said is reasonable, pass on the order, let your uncle and the housekeeper lead the soldiers to protect the families, and the two of you brothers will follow your father day and night and rush back to Xianyang." ”

"Yes, father." The brothers replied in unison.

After making a simple arrangement, the father and son rode their horses and whipped and galloped away in the direction of Xianyang.

The spring morning breeze has not yet subsided, but it is very pleasant to blow on the face.

In the past three days, the father and son traveled day and night, and finally saw the outline of Xianyang.

"Father, I can already see Xianyang." Meng Tian said.

"What time is it?" Meng Wu asked.

"It's almost time." Meng Yi replied.

"Don't rest, go back to the city and resume your life." After Meng Wu finished speaking, he whipped the war horse casually.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi followed and also whipped their horses.

When I approached the city gate, I saw a group of people outside the city gate, looking at their clothes, they were all ordinary people.

The people seemed to be gathered in front of the bulletin board outside the city, talking about something in their ears, while most of them shook their heads and sighed softly.

"Tian'er, go and see, what's going on." Meng Wu was worried that something would happen to Xianyang, and he rushed back in the starry night, how could he not ask when he saw this situation.

Meng Tian dismounted and squeezed into the crowd.

After a while, I saw Meng Tian tear down the notice, squeeze through the crowd, and run towards Meng Wu.

"Father, something is wrong." Meng Tian ran back in a panic and handed the notice to Meng Wu.

Seeing Meng Tian's panic, Meng Wu was already upset, and the moment he saw the notice, he was even more surprised.

"This ......" Meng Wu didn't know what to say.

Meng Tian calmed down a little and said, "It seems that this notice has just been posted, and the king may not know yet, so we should hurry to the palace." ”

Meng Wu came back to his senses and said, "Yes, hurry up to the palace and inform the king of the news." ”

Meng Yi was very puzzled on the side, what made his father and brother so panicked, so he asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Wu handed the notice to Meng Yi and said, "Look at it yourself, you must take it, and you will hand it over to the king later." ”

Meng Yi took the notice, and after reading it, his face was as pale as earth.

"Let's go." Meng Wu urged the two brothers.

Meng Yi clenched the notice and urged the horse to follow Meng Wu and Meng Tian towards the palace.

Ying Zheng is sorting out the font bank that was filled out by Sima Mingming yesterday in Wenluoju, and asked many bachelors from other countries to fill it out.

The reason why Ying Zheng is so anxious to record the characters of various countries is mainly because of the "Agricultural and Food Classic".

As long as you recognize the words of various countries, you can read the "Agricultural and Food Classic". Besides, it is almost the season of planting, and if you don't quickly figure out the original crops, you are afraid that you will miss the time, and you will have to wait until next year to plant.

Zhao Gao hurriedly walked in outside the door.

"Your Majesty, General Meng Wu, take Meng Tian and Meng Yi to ask to see." Zhao Gao arched his hand and said.

"Came back so soon." Ying Zheng said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Not long after, Mengwu father and son, the three of them, their steps were hurried, and their expressions were a little panicked, and they entered the door and knelt down: "Minister Mengwu, on the order of the king, buried his father in the royal cemetery with the gift of a marquis. ”

"Hurry up." Ying Zheng stepped forward to help Meng Wu and said, "The widow thinks it will take two or three days before you return to Xianyang." ”

"Because I was worried about something in the court, the three of my ministers, father and son, rushed back in the starry night." Meng Wu said, "Now the family is still on the way. ”

"General Meng is overly concerned, there is no major matter in the DPRK and China." Ying Zheng said.

"No, Your Majesty, something has happened." Meng Wu hesitated, but still took the notice written in yellow silk from Meng Yi's hand and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Seeing Meng Wu's emotions after entering the door, Ying Zheng instinctively felt bad, took the notice, and unfolded it.

Looking at this, Ying Zheng almost fell to the ground, anger and anger, disappointment and resentment, these negative emotions condensed together, and suddenly broke through the psychological defense line like a knife.

What can make Ying Zheng's mood like this is, of course, the content of the notice.

This is an article, released in the name of Cheng Yiren, and the general content is: After Cheng Chan's investigation, Ying Zheng, who was born in Zhao State, was not born to the first king Ying Yiren, and the Queen Mother Zhao Ji was pregnant before being given to Ying Yiren by Lu Buwei that year, so Ying Zheng is not a descendant of Ying surname, so naturally he should not be in the position of King Qin. In the name of the only bloodline of Yingyiren, Cheng Chan immediately returned to Xianyang, deposed Yingzheng, and regained the position of King Qin that should belong to him...

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Meng Wu asked softly when he saw that Ying Zheng's expression was so complicated.

"Your Majesty, it's just a rebellion, don't worry." Meng Tian comforted, "Since ancient times, the struggle for succession and throne has been common, and there is nothing that cannot be accepted. ”

Compared with Meng Wu, Meng Tian is obviously more able to comfort others.

"But after all, he is the widow's own brother." Ying Zheng softened his mind, thought for a while, and then said, "No, the widow knows him, he must have been lured and bewitched by others to do such a thing." ”

"With Weichen's understanding of Chang'anjun, if he hadn't been bewitched by others, he would definitely not have acted so impulsively and rashly." Meng Wu said.

"But why did he slander the widow?" Ying Zheng said indignantly.

"By doing so, he's just looking for an excuse for rebellion." Meng Tian said, "If there is no foundation and no evidence, how can he say that he is what he is." ”

"Things are bad because they have no roots." Meng Wu said, "This matter will definitely spread, and there will inevitably be a lot of discussion among the people, and it is unknown what the people's will will be." ”

Ying Zheng had completely calmed down, thought about it, and said: "The three of you, father and son, immediately send soldiers to investigate the spread of the news, trace the source of the news, monitor the people's discussions, and if there are malicious rumors, they will be arrested immediately, it is very likely that Cheng Huan's henchmen." ”

Meng Wu arched his hand and said, "The ministers receive the order." ”

After the three of Mengwu's father and son received the order, they hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, the stakes were very high, and the time was particularly urgent.

Ying Zheng put away the papers, called Zhao Gao, and also went out.

For such a big event, Ying Zheng's first thing is to discuss with Lu Buwei how to deal with it, not to mention that Lu Buwei is also a party, how can Ying Zheng not ask about it.

On the way to Lu Mansion, Ying Zheng told Zhao Gao about the rebellion, and Zhao Gao was also shocked.

When he arrived at Lü Buwei's inner mansion, the mansion Ding trotted forward to pass the word, and Yingzheng followed quickly.

Lü Buwei was in his study, holding the same inscription in his hand.

"Middle Father!" Ying Zheng didn't wait to enter the door, and shouted.

Lü Buwei put down the inscription and bowed his hand and said, "The old minister has seen the king. ”

Ying Zheng walked up to Lü Buwei, looked at the text that Lü Buwei had just put down, and asked, "Father Zhong already knows?" ”

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "The old minister has just learned about this matter and is thinking about how to deal with it. ”

"Is what is said in the text true?" Ying Zheng asked eagerly.

"Of course, this is a slanderous remark, and an excuse for Cheng Chan to plot rebellion." Lu Buwei seemed quite calm, "If you don't find a reasonable excuse, how can you command the army to counterattack Xianyang, and how can you convince the people of the world." ”

Ying Zheng stared at Lu Buwei and asked, "How can the middle father be sure, when you married the queen mother to your father, the queen mother was not pregnant. ”

Although these rumors are not enough to have any impact on the throne, Ying Zheng is already in turmoil, and he desperately wants to know the truth.

"Hey, the reputation of the Queen Mother is important, but it has come to this point, and I can't care about it so much." Lu Buwei sighed.

"But it's okay for the middle father to talk about it." Ying Zheng said.

Lü Buwei paused, as if recalling the past: "Back then, before you were married to your father, your queen mother was indeed the concubine of the old minister. Your father knew about this back then. ”

"Your mother's maiden family has some roots in Zhao State, and Lao Chen was in business at the time, and his family also had some savings, so he was matched by a matchmaker and became acquainted."

"However, the age difference between Lao Chen and your mother is too big after all, and they have no emotional foundation, so they don't love each other so much."

"Later, your father became acquainted with the old ministers, and often went to the house to drink and talk, so that he became acquainted with your mother. After a long time, how can the old minister not see that your father and your queen mother have each other's hearts, so they want to be beautiful as adults, and since then, they have never touched your queen mother. ”

"And before your mother married your father, she was still red. Therefore, there is no doubt that you must be the son of your father. ”

After listening to Lü Buwei's story, Ying Zheng suddenly felt at ease.

Although she is not yet married, Yingzheng still understands some things about seeing red in women.

"What the middle father said, but it's all the truth?" Ying Zheng still wants to be sure.

"There are no outsiders here, is it necessary for the old minister to make up a lie." Lu Buwei smiled bitterly.

"But these things are not easy for the world to know, even if they are announced, there is no evidence, how can they prove the identity of the widow to the world." Ying Zheng said.

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. Now it is impossible to prove to the world whether what Cheng Huan said is right or wrong, so it is unknown what the people want. ”

The discussion of the people, this problem made Yingzheng quite a headache.

I know what my life experience can be, and the entire court knows what my life experience can do, and no one can control the mouths of the people.

The views of the people, Ying Zheng has no time to take care of now, the most important thing at present is the opinion of the courtiers, if most of the court thinks that what Cheng Huan said is true, then who will kill the deer, it is really uncertain.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng lowered his heart and said: "Middle Father, quickly spread the word that a large court meeting will be held tomorrow, and all relevant personnel must be present." ”

Seeing that Yingzheng was so resolute, Lu Buwei nodded and said, "The old minister knows what to do." ”

"Then let's hurry up and act fast." Ying Zheng said.

After agreeing, Yingzheng and Lü Buwei went out of the mansion together and went their separate ways.
