Ying Zheng's reaction did not surprise Zhao Ji.

"The queen mother came back in a hurry this time, and she didn't bring anything back." Zhao Ji said, "After a few days of Fusu's full moon, the queen mother will go back to Yongcheng to prepare the crown ceremony for you, and when everything is in order in Yongcheng, the queen mother will move back." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "This arrangement is reasonable, it is to bother the queen mother, and it will be hard for a while." ”

"Between our mother and son, what are you doing so politely." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Ying Zheng also smiled and said, "The widow told Lu Xiangbang about this and asked him to start preparing as well." ”

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Ji said.

Ying Zheng resigned, and then took Zhao Gao out of the queen mother's dormitory and went straight to the Lu Mansion.

Things began to develop in the direction that Lü Buwei had predicted, so Lü Buwei began to organize the items needed for the full moon celebration of Fusu and the crown ceremony of Yingzheng.

This night, in Nansu's bedroom, Ying Zheng crouched beside Xiao Fusu, looking intently at his own proud work.

Nan Su sat on the side, happily looking at the man he loved the most in front of him.

"You say, when will this child be called Daddy?" Ying Zheng suppressed his voice to the lowest and muttered.

"Probably...... It's going to take another year or two. Nansu grinned.

"A year or two?" Ying Zheng asked blankly, "So long." ”

"Why, the king is anxious to hear him call his father?" Nansu's tone was also extremely soft, as if he was afraid of Fusu, who was asleep, but because of this, he was like a fairy sound.

What's even more excessive is that the breath that Nan Su spit out lightly blew on Ying Zheng's neck, and whether it was Ying Zheng's skin or nostrils, he felt the wonderful fragrance, and it seemed to have a little milky fragrance.

"Since we all like children so much, why don't we have another one?" Ying Zheng reached out and grabbed Nansu's leaf.

"Hmm." A mosquito sound is in the ears, but it is already a beauty.

The sudden sound of clouds and rain failed to wake up the sleeping Fusu, nor did it annihilate the fire that encountered dry firewood.

After a fight, Yingzheng was defeated after all.

After the two quieted down, Nan Su leaned into Ying Zheng's arms and asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, how do I feel, the Queen Mother is back this time, it's weird." ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng knew that Nan Su would ask about this, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's the blame?" ”

"Hmm...... I feel ......," Nansu hesitated for a moment and said, "It feels like the queen mother has changed as if she has changed into a different person." The concubines are a little unclear, which one is the real queen mother. ”

Ying Zheng exhaled lightly and said: "Actually, the current queen mother is the same as before, and when we went to Yongcheng, what you saw was the abnormal appearance of the queen mother after she fell ill. ”

"Oh, I see." Nan Su said thoughtfully, "The concubine still thinks that the queen mother will have a gentle attitude because of our children, and she will still be as cold to us as before." ”

"It should ...... Not really. Ying Zheng didn't have the confidence to say it, so much so that he seemed to comfort himself.

Nan Su looked at Ying Zheng, as if she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to get into Ying Zheng's arms again and divert Ying Zheng's attention in her exclusive way.

……

On the day of the full moon in Fusu, the Gucheng Palace is very lively, although it is the solar term of winter, but the weather is not cold.

Looking at the long queue outside the palace gate, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After nearly a hundred years of reform and restructuring, Daqin is strong, so strong that he is not afraid of the encroachment of any country, even if they join forces.

But Daqin also weakened at the same time, because people's hearts became weaker.

The wind of comparison, the wind of extravagance is gradually rising.

is not afraid of death, and the spirit of protecting the family and the country is becoming more and more diluted.

If this goes on for a long time, how can we talk about unification?

It seems that this development of military strength and agriculture is a necessary measure, and the whole

It is also an indispensable link.

It's just that now is not the time, and Yingzheng still needs to wait for at least three more months.

By then......

"The king......" A crisp voice interrupted Ying Zheng's thoughts.

"Huh?" Ying Zheng turned his head sideways and saw that it was his wife Wen Xuan standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, the celebration is about to begin, and the Queen Mother has called you over." Wen Xuan said.

"Okay, let's go over." Ying Zheng responded.

According to the ancestral system, the process of celebration is not cumbersome and does not last very long.

It is worth noting that all the ministers saw the long-lost queen mother, and they all talked about it in private.

"Look, isn't that the Queen Mother."

"What are you fuss about, the day the Queen Mother came back, I saw it at the city gate."

"I heard that the Queen Mother was not lightly ill before, and it seems that she has recovered."

"Do you know which miracle doctor cured the Queen Mother, I went to him to see my mother-in-law's illness."

"What do you all know, Queen Mother, you're not sick at all."

"Not sick? Is that difficult, is it hiding out and pretending to be sick? ”

"That's what you said, I didn't say anything."

“……”

Among the people, there are discussions about everything, it seems that whether it is in the people or in the palace, the matter of the Queen Mother is a mysterious and interesting topic.

After the celebration, it was the King of Qin who invited him to a treat.

Everyone closed their mouths and stopped talking about the Queen Mother, after all, eating people's mouths is short.

The next day, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji asked Mrs. Huayang to resign and left Xianyang again for Yongcheng.

And the reason is that it is necessary to organize the crown ceremony of Yingzheng in advance.

As expected, Mrs. Huayang not only did not object, but praised Zhao Ji.

In this way, the Queen Mother set off immediately, still the original team, and returned to Yongcheng in a mighty manner.

Looking at Zhao Ji's back again, Ying Zheng's mood was completely different from the last time.

At that time, Yingzheng was so helpless, no one was available, the objects in his hands were only the seal left to him by the Queen Mother, and the people around him were only Zhao Gao, although he had already met Li Si at that time, but he didn't know Li Si's true identity at that time, so his trust in Li Si was not very deep.

Today's Yingzheng, after going through so much, whether it is the brain, or the mind, whether it is the talents around him, or the money and materials reserved, it is incomparable a year ago.

And now, a new opportunity has arisen again, and for three more months, when the spring of the following year comes, it will be the time for him to be crowned and take power.

No matter how Chang Yu's side decides, it can't stop him, and no matter whether Lu Buwei is hypocritical or not, it can't change the final result.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes became extremely firm and decisive.

Back in Gucheng Palace, Ying Zheng made another preparation, according to his previous plan, after sending off the Queen Mother, he immediately got up and went to Lishan.

"Your Majesty, do you have to leave in such a hurry?" Lan Ting asked reluctantly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are tired these days, rest for a few days before you go." Min Ruo said.

Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said: "The widow also feels a little tired, but the side of Lishan can't wait, the weather is already cold, and the soldiers of the Mengjia army don't have enough warm clothes, so the widow wants to bring them back." ”

"Will the project of the royal tomb be put on hold?" Nansu asked.

"Perhaps." Ying Zheng said, "This needs to be seen by the widow himself to decide." ”

Normally, almost all works are suspended in the winter.

But that situation is tightly limited to the surface, and the impact on underground projects is not so great.

What's more, it's still close to the eye of the fire, and the temperature is much higher than outside.

But Yingzheng didn't dare to rush to insist on starting construction, because he didn't know about Lishan at this time

situation, we can only be prepared to temporarily withdraw the Mengjia army from Lishan.

However, if it is repaired for a winter, it is understandable, but the crown ceremony that has just been set with the Empress Dowager and Lü Buwei in three months will conflict with the Lishan project in the spring of next year.

The more he was in a dilemma, the more anxious Yingzheng was to go to Lishan, and after checking what was going on, he could make a decision with Li Si.

At this time, Hu Yu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you go." But be sure to come back before the concubine gives birth. ”

"Good! The widow promises you. After that, Ying Zheng kissed the little Fusu in Nansu's arms, and then said goodbye to the five ladies.

Two thousand Praetorian Guards escorted Yingzheng, carrying grain, grass and winter clothes, and marched in the direction of Lishan again.

This time, there are about 300 people in the Praetorian Guard, who have just been added, and as for the original 300 people, they have successfully passed the assessment of Wei Yu and joined the "our army".

This is probably the reason why Ying Zheng is in a hurry, he needs more "my weapons" to equip this army.

Due to the large amount of materials carried, the team arrived at the foot of Lishan at noon the next day.

The brothers of the Meng family, who had received the news a long time ago, were waiting at the checkpoint, and after seeing Yingzheng, the two brothers were so happy that their mouths couldn't close.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Nansu gave birth to a son." Meng Tian said.

"By the day, it should be almost a full moon." Meng Yi followed.

Ying Zheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, this is not just a full moon celebration, the widow is in a hurry, this wine has brought you a lot, let's drink it tonight." ”

The brothers shouted in unison, hugging Yingzheng back to the Chinese army's tent.

Before they could reach the tent, Li Si and Jing Fan greeted them.

The moment Ying Zheng saw Li Si, an inexplicable emotion poured into his heart.

It seems that after going through many hardships, I finally met my most trusted partner.

Or maybe in the confusion and confusion, I finally found support.

Li Si seemed to know Ying Zheng's thoughts, took Ying Zheng's hand, and said: "Don't worry, the king must have experienced a lot in this month, and we will be as smooth as ever." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and followed Meng Tian into the Chinese military tent.

After sitting down, Ying Zheng will return to Xianyang, how to expand the new army, and then be happy with the little prince, harvest the original grain seeds, and set a date for the crown ceremony with Lü Buwei, as well as the change in the attitude of the queen mother, and so on.

After listening to Ying Zheng's narration, Li Si took the lead in speaking: "The king's decision-making and judgment on these things are very accurate, presumably, Lu Xiangbang also saw the growth of the king, so he agreed to perform the crown ceremony for the king." ”

"Not bad." Meng Tian said with a smile, "Before, we also sweated for the king, but now it seems that whether it is the harem or the prime minister's mansion, the king can handle it easily." ”

Ying Zheng smiled and tapped Meng Tian with his hand, and said, "Okay, even you have come to make fun of the widow." ”

"It's not a joke." Jing Fan said on the side, "The king's ability, we are all obvious to all, right, sir." ”

Several people looked at Li Si.

"Hehe, that's good." Li Si smiled slightly, "Several important matters this time are all very important, even if Li Si is on his side, he may not be able to deal with it so properly." ”

Ying Zheng was a little unnatural when he was praised by several people: "Okay, don't talk about the widow, what's the situation here, it's been ten days since I last received a letter from you, and the widow is thinking about it very much." ”

Li Si didn't answer directly, but looked at Jing Fan.

Jing Fan smiled even more, and arched his hand and said, "Back to the king, just yesterday, we have completely refined the alloy, and all obstacles have been removed. ”

"Haha!" Hearing this, Ying Zheng was overjoyed and said, "The widow knows that your progress will not be slow, let's go, take a look." ”

Everyone gathered around Yingzheng and walked out of the tent.
