Ying Zheng's response really surprised Lu Buwei, he thought that Ying Zheng would be ecstatic and immediately set a date and hold a crown ceremony immediately, but Ying Zheng was unusually calm and said that he was not in a hurry.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Although the widow really wants to perform the crown ceremony, this matter really needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Then, Ying Zheng briefly recounted the last time he went to Yongcheng.

After hearing this, Lu Buwei's eyes rolled, stroked his beard and said: "Actually, the old minister had already felt that Chang Yu had ill intentions, and when he went to Yongcheng, he also sent someone to follow. It's just that the old minister was afraid that the king would misunderstand and couldn't tolerate him, so he just observed secretly. According to this, the king wants to guard against him, but is worried about the safety of the queen mother? ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's why Wei Yicai suggested that the widow should perform the crown ceremony in Yongcheng." ”

Lu Buwei squinted his eyes and said: "This plan is good, but now the Queen Mother is forcing your mother to return to Xianyang, if she comes back, it is still unknown whether she can return to Yongcheng." ”

"Father Zhong is saying that the best way now is not to keep the queen mother, but to let her return to Yongcheng?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The old minister understands that the king wants to take this opportunity to leave the Queen Mother in Xianyang." Lü Buwei said, "But the king thinks about it, if this is the case, then where will Chang Yu go?" ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "Presumably, that Chang Yu will most likely accompany the queen mother." ”

"Not bad." Lü Buwei said in a deep voice, "If this is the case, then Chang Yu can form a party in the court and run a private business, and recruit troops and horses in Yongcheng, without any basis and with the protection of the queen mother, presumably the king will not be able to help him in a short time." ”

"Hiss......" Ying Zheng gasped.

Both men fell silent, as if they were thinking of a countermeasure.

After a few breaths, Lü Buwei said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Wei Yi's plan is really the best plan, but he also needs to increase the heat. ”

"Father, please speak." Ying Zheng said calmly.

Lü Buwei cleared his throat and said: "If the Queen Mother returns to Xianyang this time, she will probably not stay here for a long time, and then the king should not try to keep it, just let the Queen Mother return to Yongcheng." The king, on the other hand, should take the opportunity to express his intention to perform the crown ceremony during this time, and the old ministers will cooperate in due course, and can agree to agree, but the condition is that it cannot be implemented immediately, and it needs to be postponed for another three months, and thorough preparations have been made. ”

Ying Zheng continued: "In this way, the queen mother will return to Yongcheng, and the widow will also go to Yongcheng three months later, so that the queen mother will hold a crown ceremony for the widow." ”

Lu Buwei nodded slightly: "In the past three months, the old minister will also secretly spread some remarks, that is, after the king has performed the crown ceremony, he will rectify the dynasty and take back all military power." And that Chang Yu will definitely be afraid of losing the military power in his hands, and he will either rebel or disappear. ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

"And in terms of Chang Yu's personality, he will definitely not give up his military power." Ying Zheng followed up and analyzed, "So the possibility of an incident is very high. ”

"Not bad." Lu Buwei said, "At that time, as long as the king guards the queen mother in Yongcheng and the old minister guards the palace in Xianyang, he will not be afraid that Chang Yu will take the opportunity to sneak attack, as long as he makes a slight move, he will send troops to destroy him." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "If it comes to this point, there will be a good candidate for the widow." ”

"Who is the king referring to?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Changping-kun." Ying Zheng replied very simply.

"Does the king want to ......," Lu Buwei paused, "With the help of the Western Chu army in Yingcheng?" ”

"Hehe, that's good." Ying Zheng smiled, "Otherwise, why would the widow go to great lengths to recruit those mountain bandits." ”

"Good strategy." Lü Buwei said with a smile, "Eradicate dissidents."

If the Qin army is not used, from now on, the internal troubles can be eliminated. ”

Ying Zheng nodded approvingly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Although this conversation can be regarded as a showdown with Lu Buwei, no one can say whether there will be any variables on Lu Buwei's side.

"So what now?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's better for the old minister to write a letter to the Queen Mother in person." Lü Buwei said, "Let's see what the Queen Mother's attitude is." ”

"Okay, then there is Lao Zhong's father, we must find a way to let the queen mother return to the palace first." Ying Zheng said.

"It's nature." Lu Buwei said.

Yingzheng found out the pen and ink and brocade silk for Lu Buwei, and the two of them discussed together how to understand and reason and call Zhao Ji back to Xianyang Palace with affection.

After finishing this, Lü Buwei left the secret room with the letter.

After sending Lü Buwei away, Ying Zheng saw Zhao Gao running over in a hurry at the gate of the palace, still carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Your Majesty." Before the person arrived, Zhao Gao called, but strangely, the voice was not very loud.

"What's the matter, so flustered." Ying Zheng asked as he walked towards Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao ran to Yingzheng, swallowed his saliva, and then said in a low voice: "When the king and Lu Xiangbang first entered the secret room, Lord Sima Hong came to the palace, and when he saw that Lu Xiangbang was also here, he did not visit the king, but handed over the cloth bag to the slave minister, and asked the slave to hand it over to the king. ”

Ying Zheng took the cloth bag, only to feel that the cloth bag was bulging inside, and he didn't know what it contained.

"What about Lord Sima?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Master Sima, he said that he still has some important things to do, but he will come back later." Zhao Gao said.

"Okay, when he comes, tell him to come to the study to find the widow." Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao arched his hand.

"That's right." Ying Zheng just took a few steps, then turned around and asked, "How is Nansu over there?" ”

"All is well." Zhao Gao said.

"Well, you go and tell Nansu that later, the widow will go over and accompany her." With that, Ying Zheng turned around and walked towards the study.

While walking, Ying Zheng was still pondering the conversation with Lu Buwei just now, and his heart could be described as mixed.

Is Lü Buwei friend or foe?

What was the Queen Mother thinking in her heart?

Chang Yu, will he have the heart of rebellion and chaos as Li Si said?

When it comes to Li Si, I don't know how far he has progressed.

Back in the study, Ying Zheng was worried about the situation in Lishan, so he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Li Si, and by the way, he also told the ministers of Lishan about Prince Xide.

After writing the letter, Ying Zheng seemed to have let go of something, so he set his eyes on the cloth bag sent by Sima Hong.

Ying Zheng reached out and opened the cloth bag and poured out the contents.

But just after the things inside were presented in front of him, Ying Zheng's pupils instantly dilated several times, and his mouth opened a few points, and then, he laughed.

The cloth bag contains nothing else, it is the colorful original grain seeds.

No wonder Zhao Gao was sneaky just now, it must have been Sima Hong who had an explanation, and he couldn't let Lu Buwei know about it.

Ying Zheng sorted out the original grain seeds in front of him, then classified them, and counted the quantities.

The original grain species are divided into five grains, and the five grains are distinguished by five elements, and the color of the appearance is different.

Ying Zheng first selected the rice seeds in the order of the five elements, and then selected the millet seeds, millet seeds, wheat seeds and soybean seeds in turn.

There should have been twenty-five grains, but two seeds were missing

There were only twenty-three on the table.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the planting of these two millet seeds?

Although there are two less, the grains in front of him have already shown that Sima Hong has cultivated them very successfully, and these grains should also be samples he sent.

The hard work was not in vain, the spring sowing finally ushered in the autumn harvest, Ying Zheng looked at these colorful grains, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

At this time, I only heard Zhao Gao's voice coming from the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Sima asks to see you." ”

"Hurry up, please." Ying Zheng said as he got up to greet him.

"See the king." Sima Hong entered the door and bowed down.

Ying Zheng took Sima Hong's hand and said, "Come in and sit." ”

Before he could sit down, he heard Sima Hong say: "Weichen just rushed back to Xianyang, and I heard that the king had a little prince, which is really gratifying!" ”

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Sima, it's really hard for you to run around for the widow all the way." ”

"Hehe, it's hard work, it's busy." Sima Hong looked at the original grain seed on the table and said, "It seems that the king has received a congratulatory gift from Weichen." ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment, but after seeing those original grain seeds in a blink of an eye, he reacted: "Haha, this gift is the only one in the world, and it can be described as very precious." ”

Both of them burst out laughing.

Sima Hong laughed as he took out a small cloth bag from his hand and handed it to Ying Zheng: "Make up for this, this gift is complete." ”

Ying Zheng took it and opened it to see that it was the two seeds that were missing, so he took them out and placed them in the corresponding position on the table.

"These last two were sent back by the housekeeper all the way." Sima Hong said, "Wei Chen left for a while just now, and he went to the North City Gate to greet the housekeeper. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It seems that all these grain seeds have been cultivated. ”

"Exactly." Sima Hong said with some pride, "The sowing season is different in various places, and the harvest day is naturally different, and the number of seeds is more or less, but fortunately, it did not disappoint the king." ”

As for the amount of grain seeds harvested, Ying Zheng didn't have too high expectations, after all, the original grain seeds he gave to Sima Hong were too few, and it was already good to be able to plant them all.

"In this way, it is a farmer who has worked hard to cultivate grain seeds in various places." Ying Zheng said, "Presumably they are all extremely careful to take care of the growth of Gu Miao." ”

"Hmm." Sima Hong nodded and said, "Except for this product, the rest of the Weichen will stay in place so that they can continue to cultivate in the spring of the next year." ”

Speaking of this, a trace of sorrow appeared between Ying Zheng's eyebrows: "I don't know, how many years will it take for this accumulation year after year to be widely implemented throughout Daqin, so that all the people can plant this high-quality original seed." ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Sima Hong reassured, "In the first few years, it may be slower, but after another five or six years, the amount of this grain seed will accumulate to a certain extent." ”

Five or six years later......

It doesn't seem to take that long.

Because when the old man in white gave Ying Zheng the original grain seeds, he mentioned that these original grain seeds were just to familiarize Ying Zheng with the cultivation method and grasp the key to it, and after meeting in the three-year period, he would also give Ying Zheng some original grain seeds.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng's mood was even happier.

"Hehe, didn't Lord Sima come with a congratulatory gift?" Ying Zheng took Sima Hong's arm and said, "Let's go, the widow will take you to see the little prince." ”

"Hahaha, please, the king." Sima Hong smiled and followed Ying Zheng out of the room.
