After being silent for a long time, with the sound of footsteps coming from outside the study again, everyone turned their heads to look, and then what caught their eyes was Mrs. Lu, who was following the eunuch, and walked in proudly.

"Mrs. Lu!"

Ying Zheng saw Mrs. Lu's appearance, and his eyes were full of curiosity, because unlike the imaginary escape, Mrs. Lu not only did not run away, but his expression did not look like a person with a weak heart and fear.

"King, it is this person, the grass people were deceived by this person back then, and the grass people dared to guarantee with their lives, this person is definitely not a sage and talent, but a person who was abducted and deceived!"

The man kneeling on the ground was also at a loss when he saw Mrs. Lu's appearance, completely unexpected, but the man did not panic, and always firmly believed that the fake could not be true.

"Ridiculous!"

is different from what Yao Jia said, who fled in a hurry on the street, at this time, under the gaze of everyone, I saw that Nalu Taifu had no weakness at all, and he didn't look like a person who was trembling in fear and panicking.

"Meet the King!"

Under the gaze of Li Si, Wei Yu and others, Mrs. Lu stepped forward to stand beside the man and bowed to Yingzheng behind the wooden table.

"Taifu is exempt!"

Ying Zheng opened his mouth to speak, and then looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile and pointed at the man on the ground.

"Can Taifu know this person? This person slandered Mrs. Lu as a fake, not a bookwriter! ”

Ying Zheng asked.

At this moment, Ying Zheng was also very curious, why did this Mrs. Lu have so much courage to dare to come to the palace study to confront and debate, and he seemed to be confident.

"Back to the king, this old man knows!"

Mrs. Lu suddenly admitted to his face, which caught everyone off guard, and even Yao Jia, who had been frowning and watching, also showed a surprised look at this time.

However, unlike the kneeling man's ecstatic face after hearing this, Yao Jia couldn't help but frown more and more tightly when he heard Mrs. Lu's words.

"In other words, Taifu is admitting that he cheated in the past?"

Ying Kan looked at Mrs. Lu, and under the new hatred and old hatred, he looked directly at Yingzheng and gave his hand.

"Your Majesty, since this person has confessed, please also ask the king to order the arrest of this person and punish him by law!"

As soon as Ying Kan finished speaking, Mrs. Lu's voice sounded one after another.

"Chongquanjun wants to punish the old man, but he is too anxious, although the old man admits to knowing this person, but the old man has never mentioned it...... He deceived this person, let alone pretended to be someone else! ”

Wei Yu, Feng Quji and the others all looked at Mrs. Lu, and when they saw Mrs. Lu's unfazed appearance, they couldn't help but glance at each other silently.

Mrs. Lu's appearance looks confident, and it doesn't seem to be a fake, but ......

In the hearts of almost all the important ministers of the Qin State, they are more inclined to Yao Jia, don't look at Yao Jia's perennial travel to various countries, but everyone knows Yao Jia well, and they all believe in Yao Jia's personality.

"If the adults don't believe it, you can invite Wu Liejun's wife to come and meet him face to face, or the old man will go to Wu Liejun's mansion in person to see Wu Liejun's wife!"

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and said directly without hesitation.

Words.

Blindfolded everyone present, not to mention Yao Jia at this moment, even Ying Zheng, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and then looked at Bai Yan who was also stunned on the side.

"In the past, Wu Liejun was invited, but the old man refused, but the past was in a hurry, the little girl in the past was already Wu Liejun's wife, and the old man avoided suspicion! Besides, the old man has already seen that the rule of Wu Liejun and the old man is still different, so why let a little girl be embarrassed in the middle in the future! ”

After explaining Taifu Lu, he looked at Bai Yan, who was slightly in a trance, and said to himself.

An explanation not only clarified the reason for not seeing in the past, but also reminded that Bai Yan had personally agreed to the separation of seals in the past.

"I never thought that today it would only increase the trouble!"

Then Mrs. Lu looked at Ying Zheng, shook his head slightly, sighed, and then looked at the man kneeling on the ground.

"In the past, the old man had a thought of accepting you as a disciple, and later saw that he was unkind, selfish and greedy! Therefore, I abandoned the thoughts in my heart, and sure enough, what I can do today is really chilling! ”

Mrs. Lu turned his head to look at Ying Zheng and said.

"Your Majesty, the old man is here, and he also has an important thing to do!"

After saluting, Mrs. Lu took out two rolls of bamboo slips from the wide embroidered robe.

Seeing this, Meng Yi, who served as a regular attendant in the study, glanced at Ying Zheng, and then hurriedly stepped forward, and under the eyes of everyone, took the bamboo slip in the hands of Mrs. Lu, and turned around and handed it to Ying Zheng.

"Bamboo slips?"

Seeing Mrs. Lu's actions, Wei Yi couldn't help but glance at Feng Quji, full of doubts.

And Bai Yan and Ying Kan also looked at each other puzzled, and both of them couldn't help frowning.

"Impossible! No way! Liar, thou art nothing but a liar! If it weren't for the liar, why did you chase me all the way in the heavy rain on the street today, Yao Shangqing saw this with his own eyes, how would you explain it? ”

When the man saw that all the ministers wearing the official uniforms of the Qin State around him seemed to believe the words of this fake person, he immediately became anxious, got up with an excited face, and pointed at Mrs. Lu and asked.

The man's voice was very loud, and with the questioning, this also made the others turn their eyes on Lu Taifu again.

"Yao Shangqing!"

When Mrs. Lu faced the questioning, his expression became angry, and his eyes were full of anger to look at Yao Jia.

"The old man wants to ask, what does Yao Shangqing mean today? Why did this person trick the old man into leaving the mansion, and why did he want to lure the old man to a no-man's alley? ”

Mrs. Lu's words made Yao Jia's face change instantly, and he had a premonition of what Mrs. Lu meant, and his eyes suddenly increased.

"Your Majesty!"

And just under Yao Jia's gaze, Mrs. Lu, who had just finished speaking, couldn't wait to look at Ying Zheng.

"In the past, the old man once heard that Han Fei went to Xianyang, and he once said; Yao Jia, Zijian Menzi, Liang Zhi's thief, Zhao Zhi's minister! Because of this, he was killed! The old man doesn't know if it is because of his admiration for the county and the county, hindering Yao Shangqing from being a meritorious hero, and today the old man is almost hanging by a thread......"

When Mrs. Lu said this, he paused and looked at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, your minister, you have no such intention! No such fear! Never so! I hope the king will see it! ”

Yao Jia didn't wait for Mrs. Lu to finish speaking, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Ying Zheng.

This sudden change made the man in cloth frightened in place, and looked at Yao Jia in confusion, obviously this fake Mrs. Lu was indeed fleeing in the heavy rain, not to mention how embarrassed he looked.

This is all what Yao Shangqing saw with his own eyes.

Why is Yao Shangqing still scared at this moment, and he doesn't even ask anymore.

Inside the study.

Ying Kan, Wei Yi, Wang Juan and others all watched silently, in the face of this instantaneous situation, everyone knew that Yao Jia had fallen into passivity.

"Dare to ask Yao Shangqing, since he has no intention, no courage, and no thoughts, then why did he take his attendant in private and take this person to deceive the old man? Why didn't he come to confront the king, but Yao Shangqing privately ordered someone to come to the old man's mansion and lure the old man to leave the mansion? ”

Mrs. Lu asked, then looked at Ying Zheng and raised his hand.

"Your Majesty, the servant of the old man's mansion, saw this man come to the door of the mansion with his own eyes, and said that the old man is a fellow countryman! If the king doesn't believe it, he can order the lieutenant of the country, the prime minister of the left and right, and personally lead people to investigate, if the old man has half a lie, it is all up to the king to deal with it! ”

In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Lu pleaded loudly.

Moment.

The cloth-clothed man beside Mrs. Lu turned pale, his legs and feet were weak, and Mu Ran recalled that he had indeed said this before.

"Yao Jia?"

At this time, Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips sent by Meng Yi, and after hearing Mrs. Lu's words, he looked at Yao Jia, and under the tightly locked eyebrows, he could see that there was a faint trace of dissatisfaction.

"This ......"

At this time, Feng Quji shook his head, and he had already seen that Yao Jia was already dead end in this confrontation.

Even if Feng Quji understands Yao Jia's personality, but at this moment, it is difficult for Feng Quji to think that in this debate, how Yao Jia can still have a chance of winning.

"Your Majesty! Minister, there is no intention of betraying the king, today I took this person to the mansion of Mrs. Lu in private, and I was also confused by this person, and I asked the king to see it! ”

Yao Jia's face was pale, and he saluted Yingzheng, and in a trance, Yao Jia suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the wooden hairpin and jue ben on the top of his head.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to return to his hometown to prove that the minister has no favoritism, and please ask the king's permission!"

Yao Jia gently put the wooden hairpin and Jue Ben on the ground, accompanied by the long hair falling on his shoulders, slowly lowered his body, and kowtowed to Yingzheng.

Yao Jia's actions, not to mention Ying Zheng's expectations, were Wei Yi, Feng Quji, Wang Juan, Ying Kan, Li Si and others, all of whom were not expected, seeing Yao Jia actually resign from the knighthood, everyone's hearts couldn't help but be shocked.

Yao Jia, but an old minister of the Qin State!

When the Qin State had not yet attacked Korea, Yao Jia ran around for the Qin State, forgetting his life and death, whether it was in the Qin State court or his merits, he was no less than Wang Jian and Bai Yan.

And such a minister, who is also a colleague they are familiar with, actually said that he would resign!

"Lord Yao, no! Your Majesty! The Qin State annexed the world, and now, there are disasters in all four counties, and there are traitors and old ministers, and the Qin State still needs Lord Yao's help! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers seconded the proposal, the Qin State, you can't do without Lord Yao!"

Feng Quji, Wei Yi and others stood up and said, even Li Si is no exception, don't look at Yao Jia's deal with Lu Taifu today, and he is also Li Si's ally in the matter of admonishing the county system, but in Li Si's eyes, Yao Jia's importance to the Qin State is no less than that of Lu Taifu.

And Li Si and Yao Jia are old friends, and the friendship between the two is far from being comparable to the county system, and it is no exaggeration to ask that in the past, Li Si dared to be enemies with Wang Juan, the prime minister of Zuo, and Ying Kan and other Ying clansmen, and the biggest reliance was not Lu Taifu, but Yao Jia!

This is Li Si's last chance to save his life, and it is also the confidence that even if he fails, he can still establish himself in the Qin State.

"Your Majesty! The minister seconded the proposal! ”

Bai Yan also stood up and surrendered his hand to Yingzheng, hoping that Yao Jia would stay.

At this moment, Bai Yan was also very nervous in his heart, he didn't expect Yao Jia to suddenly expose Mrs. Lu today, and finally arranged for someone to send a message to Mrs. Lu before Mrs. Lu escaped, saving Mrs. Lu.

Before Bai Yan could rejoice, he was glad that he was just about to give the bamboo slips to Mrs. Lu, and when he learned the news of Yao Jia, he was fortunately in time.

Right now, watching Mrs. Lu turn evil into good fortune, I didn't expect Yao Jia to resign.

This is definitely not what Bai Yan wants!

Yao Jia's role is not like the juxtaposition of princes in troubled times, which determines the survival of the country!

But right now, Chu Di, which is the most headache for Qin State, still needs Yao Jia's help, whether there is Yao Jia or not is very important for Qin State, after all, the people Yao Jia knows in Chu, the people in captivity, and the time paid are all other people in Qin State, far from being comparable, and what is even more rare is that compared to the Chu people who surrendered to Qin after the death of Chu, compared to the Chu people who surrendered to Qin State, Yao Jia can make Ying Zheng and let them all rest assured.

Soon.

Except for Lu Taifu and Meng Yi in the study, almost everyone stepped forward to salute Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng naturally knew the importance of Yao Jia, looking at Yao Jia with a blank face, and at Mrs. Lu who relied on his reputation and did not restrain at all, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and gradually became a little dissatisfied with this fake Mrs. Lu in his heart.

After all, in the final analysis, this Mrs. Lu is just a liar, and it is likely that Bai Yan has been in Mrs. Lu's mansion and arranged for careful work, so after getting the news, he saved Mrs. Lu's life.

If it weren't for that, how could Mrs. Lu, who had been shirking and not daring to see Bai Yan's wife, suddenly change his mind today.

While thinking about it, Ying Zheng couldn't help but glance at Bai Yan.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a thought at the moment, this Mrs. Lu is too arrogant, should I kill this Mrs. Lu, let Bai Yan find an opportunity, and send someone to replace him.

Sigh.

After thinking about it, Ying Zheng finally put away this thought, after all, he has the courage, his appearance and age are not bad, and he can make Feng Quji, Li Si and others unable to see through words, it is difficult to find.

"Why did Yao Shangqing resign? The widow has only unified the world, and has not yet rewarded the meritorious ministers, if Yao Shangqing leaves, how does the world treat the widow! ”

Ying Zheng knelt behind the wooden table, said to Yao Jia, and then looked at the man in cloth.

"Everything started because of this person, causing Yao Shangqing to be deceived and lead people to be suppressed!"

Ying Zheng said.

"The king spares his life! The king spares his life! Yao Shangqing! Yao Shangqing!!! ”

The man in cloth looked at Yao Jia dumbfounded, and couldn't believe for a long time that Yao Jia would betray him and push everything on him under the gaze of Yingzheng and many ministers.

However, when the eunuch came to the study, the man struggled and was dragged down.

Inside the study.

Looking at Yao Jia, who was lost and sad, Ying Zheng and the other ministers did not mention the previous matter, even the matter of the county and the division of the seal.

Ying Zheng was dissatisfied with Mrs. Lu, but looking at the bamboo slips on the wooden table, his eyes couldn't help but turn from the smug expression of Mrs. Lu to Bai Yan, who was communicating with Ying Kan in a low voice.

I don't know what Bai Yan has to say......

With curiosity, Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slip and opened it to see.

"Military pay?"

The moment he saw the content inside, Ying Zheng couldn't help frowning, glanced at Mrs. Lu, and then lowered his head and continued to look at the bamboo slips, his eyes gradually became solemn, and he carefully looked at the content on it.

"Military pay?"

"Military pay ???"

In the quiet study, no matter how small Ying Zheng's voice was, Feng Quji, Wei Yi and others could also hear it, so everyone frowned and looked at Mrs. Lu.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think it is ......"

When Mrs. Lu saw the gazes cast by these ministers of the Qin State in front of him, his old face pretended to be calm, raised his hand and stroked his long beard, and then looked at Ying Zheng and roughly said what military salary was.

Today's Yao Jia incident almost scared Mrs. Lu to death, and what Mrs. Lu didn't expect was that the real old man who wrote the book was actually in Xianyang City, and after sending these two volumes of bamboo slips, he also told him that there was no need to panic, Tian Feiyan would send a letter there.

Fortunately, when he was in Yingchuan before, after Mrs. Lu got the bamboo slips, he noticed that the old man did not want to see Yingzheng, and Mrs. Lu, who was desperate, was relieved, knowing that it was difficult to escape from Guanzhong, so he could only pin his hopes on the old man he had never met.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu was convinced that he had never met the old man who asked the book, if the old man came forward, it was no exaggeration to say that Mrs. Lu would rather be a servant for the old man and wash the old man's feet.

Mrs. Lu knew that all that he had now came from the real old man, and if it wasn't for the old man to save him today, I am afraid that his head would have fallen to the ground.

Whether it is in Linzi of Qi or in Xianyang, Mrs. Lu has already enjoyed the blessings, and now there is no need to live in fear, the only wish is to have the opportunity to see the old man who makes him admire and respect, and to see his benefactor.

"This, Your Majesty, the military salary in one fell swoop involves a wide range of things, so you can't be careless!"

"Your Majesty! The minister advised, this matter should be discussed by the court! ”

With Mrs. Lu's words, not to mention Ying Kan's solemn face, even Wang Juan and Feng Qujian couldn't help but stand up.

"Your Majesty, now there are more soldiers, soldiers, and border soldiers in various places, no less than a million people, and people in Shangjun, Yanmen and other places have sent people to write books, asking for 20,000 women without husbands, thinking that the soldiers are making up for their clothes! In addition, if the court allows the moon to give money, I am afraid that the treasury of the Qin court will not be enough to spend! ”

Li Si also pondered and bowed his hand to Ying Zheng, and said to Ying Zheng in detail.

In the Qin State, the soldiers who enlisted in the army, except for the clothes and food that went back and forth along the way, as well as the soldiers, prisoners, and laborers who were not in labor, the Qin State would prepare weapons and armor for the soldiers, which was already a large expense, plus the food and millet supplies sent to the garrisons in various places in March, June, August, September, and November.

If you give money on top of this, this is not a small amount for the mansion of the Qin Dynasty.

"But Qin is the lord of the world, not the marquis of Guanzhong, the world is no longer the world of a few years ago, and the Qin State is not the Qin State of a few years ago. And the princes and countries, why first strong Qin and then weak Qin, without him, stick to the same Er, this, Fang is the disaster of the country, Qin wants to be eternal, when it has changed for eternity, now Qin and I are strong enemies, the law is still there, the people everywhere are intolerable, there are countless people who have committed crimes, and now it has affected the army, the foundation of Qin, the soldiers have no war, and there is no exoneration! ”

Mrs. Lu said something without hesitation.

"If the king has the heart to win the sages of the ancients, the three emperors and the five emperors, and create a prosperous era in the world, the old man thinks that it is not to stick to the old, the people of the world are all the king's people, soldiers and generals, all for the king and fight to the death, today the merger, and the people are different, the war is stopped, the Qin country, when it changes!"

Mrs. Lu bowed his head and said with a serious face.

After the ceremony, looking at the other ministers with solemn expressions and silent appearances, Mrs. Lu was full of pride, these are the contents of the bamboo slips, after Mrs. Lu read it, as if his brain was awakened, his face was enlightened, and he thought it was true.

Seeing that Yao Jia heard this, his cheeks showed a slight distraction, and the corners of Mrs. Lu's mouth rose slightly, not to mention how refreshing he was.

Isn't it doubt? Look at the moment, whether Yao Jia still dares to question himself!

"Prosperous business and heavy taxes?"

Ying Zheng knelt behind the wooden table, muttering the most critical four words in the bamboo slip in his mouth, looking at Feng Quji, Wei Yi and others, all of whom thought about the appearance of discussing after hearing Mrs. Lu's words.

Ying Zheng's eyes glanced at everyone, and then looked at Bai Yan beside Ying Kan and Wang Juan, pretending to be thinking.

At this moment, looking at Bai Yan's pretended appearance, Ying Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, such a big event, I didn't expect Bai Yan to actually present it in such a way.

Seeing that all the ministers are here, Yingzheng just has doubts in his heart, and he can't say it directly.

Looking at Mrs. Lu, thinking back to Mrs. Lu's previous inquiry, the pretended to be a profound shirk, Ying Zheng didn't believe it, his worries and doubts, this Mrs. Lu could answer them one by one in detail.

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to find an opportunity to get along with Bai Yan in private and then ask.

Or wait until the time of the sacrifice or parade, and ask for clarification when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Bai Yan in the study, standing among the many ministers, and could already think of Bai Yan carefully solving his doubts in his mind.
