Chapter 169: A Different Kind of Congratulatory Gift
Prince Fusu was still asleep, and seemed to be recovering his strength after breaking free from the restraints, but he was hugged by the family in turn.
Especially Mrs. Huayang, she refused to let go when she held it.
At the beginning, if it weren't for the Cheng Chan incident, Mrs. Huayang would not have forced Yingzheng to return her a small life, and there would have been no Fusu's incarnation. Therefore, Mrs. Huayang's attention to holding is definitely higher than that of any person, including Nansu.
The tired Nansu looked at the infant child, and the indescribable satisfaction and pride in his heart.
Late at night, everyone had not yet left, and seemed to be waiting for the moment when the little prince opened his eyes.
In the end, it was Mrs. Xia who understood the matter best: "Let's all go back, let their mother and son have a good life and rest, at the end of this day, they must be tired." ”
Everyone was reluctant to leave Nansu's dormitory.
The maids fed Nansu some porridge, and after Yingzheng put Fusu next to Nansu's pillow, he saw that Nansu was a little sleepy, so he let Nansu sleep and rest, and he lay down in the outer room.
said that he was lying down and resting, but Yingzheng was so excited that he was sleeping, and his mind was full of Fusu's appearance.
About the beginning of the day, I heard a sudden cry in the inner room.
Yingzheng sat up and rushed straight into the inner room, only to see a maid holding Fusu and shaking, and the other helping Nansu to sit up.
"Your Majesty, the little master must be hungry, so don't be anxious." The maid holding the child said softly.
However, Ying Zheng still walked to the bedside and asked Xiang Nansu with some trepidation: "You ...... Is there milk? ”
Nan Su grinned, bowed his head slightly, and said with some shyness: "Yes, and it is still a little swollen." ”
When Nan Su said this, Ying Zheng was also a little ashamed, so he turned around and walked out of the inner room.
Although it is his wife's room, it is not the same thing to watch others feeding their children on the side, not to mention that there are maids and maids on the side.
Sure enough, the child's crying stopped, and Ying Zheng seemed to have let go of something and lay down to rest again.
When the sky was bright, Gu Chenggong was almost on the threshold.
In Xianyang City, almost all the royal clans, officials and nobles came to congratulate them.
Those with prominent status will be personally received by Ying Zheng, and those with a slightly lower status will be answered correctly by Zhao Gao.
The birth of King Qin's first heir means that there is a successor to the throne, which is certainly not a trivial matter.
Although the authority of the head of the carriage is not the same as in the past, as the elder venerable of the royal family, Ning Gong brought almost all the members of the royal family to congratulate, and the scene was extremely lively.
Ying Zheng naturally held a big feast to entertain everyone.
In this way, after three days of stay, the whole palace was surrounded by a festive atmosphere, but it was also exhausting.
On this day, when he finally had a few minutes to spare, Yingzheng pulled Lu Buwei and went to Huayang Palace to discuss some things with Mrs. Huayang.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
Nansu successfully left Fusu, and Yingzheng's first reaction was to inform his mother of the matter, but it was about the court, and he was very busy these days, so he put the matter on hold for the time being.
"Grandmother Wang, the widow wants to inform the Queen Mother that Nansu gave birth to Fusu, I don't know, do you need to follow any rules." Ying Zheng asked.
Mrs. Huayang sighed lightly and said resentfully: "Since ancient times, let alone the emperor who inherited the throne, even if the crown prince gave birth to a son, the queen should be in charge." But now that it's good, these things seem to have been pushed to the palace, and she went to Yongcheng to hide for a clean time. ”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Lu Buwei.
Lü Buwei arched his hand and asked: "Then dare to ask the Queen Mother, do you want the king to take Nansu and the little prince to Yongcheng again, or ......?"
"Humph!" Mrs. Huayang is cold
He said, "Still going?" When Nan Su was pregnant, Bengong wanted to stop her from going to Yongcheng, but now it is the time when their mother and son are the weakest, you can bear it, Bengong can't bear it! ”
Mrs. Huayang seems to have been angry for a long time, and now she is just venting it.
"What does the Queen Mother mean?" Lü Buwei asked.
"Let her prepare the gifts and come back quickly." Mrs. Huayang's tone was still cold, "When Zheng'er got married, she had already lost her manners, and this time, even if she was lifted, she had to be carried back." ”
Ying Zheng saw that Mrs. Huayang's attitude was so resolute, so he responded and left Huayang Palace with Lu Buwei.
In fact, Ying Zheng himself also wanted his mother Zhao Ji to come back, not for anything else, just to be able to share the joy of having a child with his mother, and the family would get together to share the family.
"Father Zhong, it seems that this time, Grandmother Wang is really on fire." Ying Zheng said, "How do you say we should decide?" ”
Lu Buwei's pace slowed down, and he said slowly: "The order of the Queen Mother cannot be violated. Besides, this time, it seems that the Queen Mother wants to use the power of the clan, if your mother still insists on going her own way, I'm afraid the scene will be embarrassing. ”
Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei's eyes and asked, "Is there a way for the middle father to let the queen mother come back and not let her offend the queen mother." ”
Lu Buwei breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's not that there is no way, it depends on which one is the most suitable." ”
It seems that Lü Buwei has more than one way.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was a little surprised, "It seems that the middle father has already made a bamboo in his chest." ”
"That's not going to talk about it." The corners of Lu Buwei's mouth raised a smile, "If the Queen Mother still claims that she is ill this time and ignores public and private interests, then we can only find some way to force her to come back, so as to seal the mouth of the Queen Mother and the ministers of the court." ”
"How to force?" Ying Zheng asked.
Lü Buwei habitually looked left and right, and then said: "First of all, the king can ask the queen mother to come back to preside over the ceremony in the name of conferring the crown prince, if the queen mother finds an excuse to refuse, then, the king can find some Chang Yu's handle, and declare that he wants to cut off Chang Yu's title, if the queen mother still does not obey, then in the name of the clan, stop all offerings in the Qi Nian Palace." ”
It seems that Lü Buwei already has a variety of plans in his heart to restrain anyone.
This is also the preciousness of Lü Buwei, and it is also the terrible thing.
Although Ying Zheng was horrified in his heart, he said with a smile on his lips: "It's still the middle father's thoughtfulness, I didn't expect that the widow's failure to perform the crown ceremony came in handy at this time." ”
Ying Zheng did not perform the crown ceremony, which means that he is not an adult and has no royal power, so this matter of conferring the crown prince should be handled by the Queen Mother herself.
"The king laughed." Lu Buwei arched his hand and said.
"Could it be ......" Ying Zheng changed his words, "The middle father postponed the widow's crown ceremony to plan this matter?" ”
Lu Buwei's face changed, but then he shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Unexpectedly, this crown ceremony has become a knot in the king's heart, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to Gucheng Palace and talk about it in detail." ”
Ying Zheng's heart throbbed inexplicably.
For more than a year, I have been thinking about it almost day and night, but when I mentioned it today, it seems that Lu Buwei still has something to hide, which makes Ying Zheng feel surprised at the same time, but more curious.
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Let's go to the secret room to talk." ”
The two returned to Gucheng Palace side by side and entered the secret room together.
"Father, please speak." Ying Zheng arched his hand and said, "There is no third person here. ”
Lu Buwei sighed lightly again, and said slowly: "The old minister's postponement of the king's crown ceremony is really not the original intention of the old minister, but the order of the previous king. ”
"What?
Hearing this, Ying Zheng's heart trembled, and his eyes widened a little.
Lü Buwei stroked his beard, and seemed to fall into a long memory: "I think that back then, your father was infected with a vicious disease, so he entrusted the old minister to the old minister, and ordered the old minister to assist the government wholeheartedly, and help you become a real hero. But your father was also worried that you would be taken advantage of, so he devised this plan. ”
Ying Zheng had heard half of Lü Buwei's previous rhetoric, and what he really paid attention to was naturally about the strategy of the former king.
"The reason why your father made this decision was to help you clear all obstacles." Lü Buwei continued, "After all, in the current situation, the old minister is the shield of the king, if any forces try to be unfavorable to Great Qin, then the first thing to deal with is the old minister, not the king. And if the king already has a certain amount of scheming, then it will be easy to eradicate these forces. When the time comes, the king will be qualified to prove to the people of the old clan that you are a worthy monarch. ”
Ying Zheng didn't speak, thinking carefully about what Lu Buwei said.
"And during this period, even if the old minister has the ability to eradicate those forces, the old minister will not do it." Lu Buwei said with an extremely earnest gaze, "Because that will only delay the growth of the king, just like Cheng Cheng's mutiny, from beginning to end, the old minister did not directly participate in it." ”
Yingzheng began to believe what Lü Buwei said, not because of Lü Buwei's sincerity, but because Lü Buwei didn't need to lie to the former king. And judging from his current identity and status, there is no need for him to deceive and deceive Yingzheng.
Unless Lü Buwei had already planned a rebellion.
But this doesn't make sense, because if Lu Buwei had already had the intention to rebel, why wait until now, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of Yingzheng's young age.
Lü Buwei said the secret for many years, and it seemed to be much more relaxed: "The reason why the old minister has only revealed this matter until now is because the old minister feels that the king has the ability to take charge of the royal power and lead the Great Qin court." ”
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "What does the middle father mean......?" ”
"Huh." Lu Buwei said with a smile, "With the experience of the old minister, how can there be no standard for when the king will be in power. During this period of time, the king broke the plan of the Three Jin Dynasty, the rebellion of the Pingcheng Python, explored the tomb of King Wu, built the god soldiers, and built the tomb of the king. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes changed when he looked at Lu Buwei.
"And these things, what is the old minister's thing, not to ask for money to give money, to ask people to send people?" Lu Buwei said, "Even the matter of being knighted in Changyu, although the old minister was unhappy, he did not interfere at all. ”
It is true that what Yingzheng did or decided, Lü Buwei did not interfere in anything, and silently supported it.
"Middle Father......" Ying Zheng's voice trembled a little, and his nose was slightly sour.
It seems that he has always had a lot of misunderstandings about Lü Buwei.
"Now, the wings of the young eagle are already full." Lu Buwei paused slightly and said, "It's better to let it spread its wings and soar." ”
"The middle father is ......" Yingzheng swallowed.
"From now on, when you want to perform the crown salute, the old minister will preside over the ceremony for the king." Lü Buwei's tone was sincere and unquestionable.
Ying Zheng never expected that Lu Buwei would make such a decision.
What Lu Buwei didn't expect was that Ying Zheng's expression did not change.
Faced with this opportunity to think about it, Ying Zheng did not rush to accept, but said slowly: "Since the crown ceremony has been postponed, it is not in a hurry to this time, and this opportunity, the widow has to take advantage of it, as the middle father said, to let people with ulterior motives have no ~ can ~ escape ~ form!" ”
Lu Buwei's mouth opened wide in surprise and didn't close it for a long time.
