Xianyang.

[Mofu].

On the second day after returning from Xianyang Palace, Mo Jun's attention continued to focus on the movements of Changping Jun and the 'Chu Foreign Relatives'.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Without the slightest hint, the Empress Dowager Huayang obviously noticed something, otherwise she would not have been able to say such a 'plea' to herself in the Huayang Palace just now.

But alas, it was too late.

Changpingjun's actions were fast, although no real action has been made yet, according to Yingzheng's intelligence system, Changpingjun's people have secretly made sufficient preparations to help Fusu complete the construction of the 'Zhengguo Canal' at any time.

That's it alone.

It was enough for Changping Jun to sentence Ying Zheng to death in his heart.

"Dada~~"

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, and then I saw an old servant walking hurriedly towards Mo Jun with hurried steps.

"What's wrong? In such a hurry. Mo Jun said curiously.

"My lord, no, there has just been news from the palace that the Empress Dowager has died."

"What?"

Mo Jun stood up suddenly, his pupils shrank.

Yesterday, when he and Xia Wuhe diagnosed the pulse of the Empress Dowager Huayang, although Xia Wuhe's diagnosed pulse was a little weak, it was not a big problem overall, why did he suddenly die today.

Of course, according to the age of the Empress Dowager Huayang, it is not impossible to die suddenly.

But somehow.

Mo Jun always felt that there seemed to be something strange in this, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.

The main reason is that the Empress Dowager Huayang died at this time, which seems to be a bit too coincidental.

Until a short time later.

With a secret letter from Ying Zheng's intelligence system, Mo Jun was shocked after reading it.

[Plans have changed.] 】

[At noon today, Changping Jun Xiong Qi personally ordered the arrest of 23 officials involved in the 'Zheng Guoqu' corruption case, of which 15 were officials of the 'Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage'······ 】

After reading the content of this secret letter, even Mo Jun couldn't help but feel a sore tooth.

"Good fellows."

"This old queen mother is really ruthless!"

At this time, how could Mo Jun not understand what the Empress Dowager Huayang was planning to do.

Just one word.

This empress dowager is exchanging her own life for the lives of the two brothers Changpingjun and Changwenjun!

When the Empress Dowager Huayang called Mo Jun to go to Huayang Palace before, she obviously had discovered something, otherwise she would not have suddenly thought of resolving the contradiction with Changping Jun and others for Mo Jun at that time.

Where is the resolution of the contradiction, it is clearly to intercede for Changping Jun, it is estimated that he also guessed that in this game, Mo Jun also played an important role.

But it's a pity that she noticed it too late, and Mo Jun didn't dare to accept her plea.

Although Changping Jun has not yet implemented the final action at this time, the most important thing for Yingzheng's layout is not what you do, but the choice you make.

No doubt.

At that time, Changping Jun's choice had already made him step into hell with one foot.

At this time, even if he let him stop in time, it was too late, and the Empress Dowager Huayang obviously knew this.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Huayang immediately decided to let Changping Jun kill his relatives in righteousness, and arrested all the people involved in the 'Zheng Guoqu' corruption case before.

But this alone is far from enough, so the Empress Dowager Huayang chose to let herself 'die' at an opportune time.

Don't get me wrong.

The reason why the Empress Dowager Huayang chose to 'die' suddenly was not simply because she wanted Yingzheng to pity her.

From the moment she saw through Ying Zheng's layout, the Empress Dowager Huayang had already understood that her old face could no longer be exchanged for Ying Zheng's pity, because Ying Zheng at this time had grown into a real emperor, cold and ruthless.

But as long as she dies, Yingzheng needs to 'keep filial piety' for her.

During the period of filial piety, it is not advisable to see blood.

What's more.

If she, the Empress Dowager Huayang, had just died, and Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun, who were relatives of Chu, would die together, then what would others think of Yingzheng, the king.

So after her death, at least for a short time, Yingzheng will not attack them.

This can be regarded as the 'hard' of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

And letting Changpingjun personally arrest all the corrupt officials in the 'Zheng Guoqu' case and send them all to Yingzheng means that Changpingjun will make amends to Yingzheng, which is 'soft'.

The fate of these dozen corrupt officials is not as simple as imprisonment, it can be said that from the moment they were given to Yingzheng by Changping Jun, they were already dead.

Because they were sent to Yingzheng by the Empress Dowager Huayang and Changpingjun to vent their anger, not only them, but even the entire 'Chu foreign relatives', including the two brothers Changpingjun and Changwenjun, will definitely suffer a major blow this time.

This is an inevitable result.

Because Changpingjun made too much mistake this time.

If he wants to live, Changping Jun must pay an extremely painful price, and only by letting the anger in Yingzheng's heart be vented can he have the possibility of survival.

Fortunately, this time Changping Jun was noticed by the Empress Dowager Huayang just after one foot walked into the Ghost Gate, otherwise once the other foot also stepped out, then even if Changping Jun paid a big price, there was only a dead end.

Empress Dowager Huayang's hand is 'soft and hard', not to mention others, even Mo Jun can't help but want to give her a thumbs up.

This hand is really wonderful.

To know.

Originally, even Mo Jun had already been saved by Changping Jun this time, but now after the operation of the Empress Dowager Huayang, although the entire 'Chu Foreign Relatives One Line' and the status of Changping Jun and others will inevitably plummet in the future, at least they still have a chance to survive.

For the sake of Chu's foreign relatives, this Empress Dowager Huayang of the Qin State can really be said to have done her best, and she died.

······

The other side.

Frontline battlefields.

The battle between the Qin army and the Zhao-Wei coalition army had been fought for no less than twenty or thirty rounds, and after the armies on both sides saw each other's blood, the war between the two sides became more and more intense.

But overall, the advantage is still on the side of Qin.

After all, the Qin army was strong and strong, with plenty of food and grass, especially after the army led by Ying Zheng arrived later and brought a large number of supplies, the soldiers' food was almost able to catch up with the war horses.

Please don't laugh.

The soldier's food catches up with the war horse, which is not a derogatory term, but a very serious compliment.

Because in ancient times, war horses were much more expensive than human spirits, especially during wars, people could eat a little food, but war horses could not do it, even in the worst period of the Qin State, the food of war horses also needed to ensure that forage and grain were matched.

If it is converted into later generations, it is probably the same as the food standard of military dogs.

Therefore, to say that people eat about the same as horses is definitely a compliment.
