Xianyang Palace.

"How is the king these days?"

Ying Ze went to the government hall where Ying Zheng was located under the leadership of the chamberlain.

Hearing the question, the red-haired official in the lead slowed down and approached Ying Ze, "Back to the king, the king has been fine recently, but it's just ......"

"Huayang Palace is restless again?" Ying Ze said what he didn't dare to say.

"Yes."

"Hey...... Troublesome woman. ”

The troublesome woman in Ying Ze's mouth is one of the two queen mothers of the Qin State today, the Empress Dowager Huayang.

According to the etiquette system, he needs to call the Empress Dowager Huayang his mother, but ......

When he was a child, he still had to shout how he wanted, but since he joined the army, he basically had no contact with this titular queen mother.

And after he opened the palace, he directly pulled his mother out of the palace to live together, and there was no longer any need to call the queen mother.

The script of his parents' sacrifice to the sky is not suitable for him, his mother is still alive and well, but his father died early, and he disappeared after three days of succession, and he was completely stunned at that time, even if he remembered that history was written like this, but the moment he really experienced it, he was really confused.

He died so suddenly, I thought it would last at least a few more years.

"Empress Dowager Zhao didn't make trouble, right?" Ying Ze asked uneasily.

Empress Dowager Zhao is naturally Yingzheng's mother, Zhao Ji, his sister-in-law.

A woman who is very capable of being a demon.

"Uh......" The red-haired officer was speechless again, he was hard to describe.

"What, Zhao Gao, don't tell me that she quarreled with Huayang Palace again."

This red-haired internal official is the future CRRC government order, Zhao Gao, but with the existence of Yingze, this Zhao Gao has no chance to breed ambitions.

"Back to the king, the Queen Mother just finished arguing with Huayang Palace last night, and ......she hasn't slept all night," Zhao Gao replied in a low voice.

In fact, he tried to stop it at that time, this is what Ying Ze told him, don't let the two queen mothers make too much trouble, but he can't stop it.

"......" Yingze.

"Got it......"

If Zhao Ji didn't be a demon, she wouldn't be Zhao Ji......

……

Xingle Palace.

"You said that Luoyangjun entered the palace?"

On the bed lies a ...... A beautiful woman can indeed only be described like this, because her demeanor is really not flattering.

"Yes, Queen Mother, Luoyangjun has already gone to the Government Affairs Palace." The palace maid beside her who fanned her replied.

"Then why didn't he come to me?" Zhao Ji's tone was obviously dissatisfied.

"Queen Mother, Luoyang Jun is here to discuss state ......affairs with the king," the personal maid who had the best relationship with Zhao Ji reminded in a whisper.

"Can't you come to me when you discuss state affairs?" Zhao Ji raised her eyebrows, she is the queen mother! Also, half of the net in Ying Ze's hand was still taken from her.

"......" no one answered.

Obviously, they didn't dare to say anything about this matter, saying that the Queen Mother didn't understand anything? Don't want to die?

"No, Zisheng has seen me once since Banyue came to see me...... There was no sound. Zhao Ji stood up, her face slightly distressed.

"No matter how busy he is in this government affairs, he can't go without time for so long, right? Can't be too busy to hand it over to someone else? Isn't it okay for Lü Buwei? Even if it is military affairs, isn't he the only general in Xianyang City, isn't it okay for the Meng family? ”

Zhao Ji puffed her chin, her big eyes narrowed slightly, and she made a thoughtful gesture, but she couldn't see a trace of wisdom from her at all, even if she was really thinking now.

"No! I'm going to ask him. ”

Zhao Ji "shook his body", stood up, stepped on the desk in front of him "domineeringly", jumped forward, with a flexible waist as a cushion, he was already standing on the wooden floor, and then walked out of the hall like a gust of wind.

"Queen Mother, slow down, slow down, be careful of falling." The palace maid behind him hurriedly chased after him.

"Am I not slow enough?" Zhao Ji turned her head and asked the palace maid who had caught up.

"Queen Mother, the king, they are discussing state affairs in the government affairs hall, it is not appropriate for you to go now." The palace maid persuaded loyally.

"What's out of place? I am the queen mother of a country, the first king has passed away, can't I help? The king is my son, can't I, the mother, give him ideas? Zhao Ji said, the speed under her feet did not decrease.

Seeing this, the palace people had no choice but to follow.

"Prepare for the drive!"

……

At this time, Ying Ze had already come to the government affairs hall.

"Uncle."

The young man in the main seat saw that Ying Ze was coming, and got up in time.

"The King." Ying Ze stepped forward and sat down.

The thirteen-year-old boy in front of him is the king of the current Qin State, Yingzheng.

is also Ying Ze's eldest nephew, in fact, the two of them are seven years apart, plus Ying Ze's operation, the relationship between their uncle and nephew is still very good.

Although Ying Ze doesn't have the intention of being a king, he still has to do what he should do.

Since Yingzheng returned to China five years ago, he began to cultivate feelings, first made a bad move, took him to break into Xianyang Palace to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and then helped him to slap Huayang and determined the position of the prince.

After five years, the relationship between the two of them is ...... It can't be said that they are as close as father and son, but they are not far behind.

Don't underestimate Yingze's ability, in order to have a happy retirement life in the future, he regards cultivating Xiao Yingzheng as a milestone task!

Today's Yingzheng is not like the original him, he has no gloomy temperament, and he is a cheerful young man.

Because Ying Ze feels that this is the eldest nephew of the original trajectory...... It's a bit miserable.

It's better to let him live happily.

At least help him as a brother and brother, the family is harmonious, and the courtiers are single-minded, so he shouldn't be so indifferent in the future.

At present, these three small goals are steadily progressing, first of all, Zhao Ji is no longer a problem.

Then he is this brother Cheng Huan, who has been cultivated by the Empress Dowager Huayang since childhood, and it is a little difficult for Ying Ze to start.

Because the old woman actually instigated Cheng Huan to fight with Ying Zheng for the crown prince, this ......

Inexplicable.

Just because she and Zhao Ji don't deal with each other, and Cheng Huan has been raised by her side since she was a child, this old woman ......

It's a nuisance.

"Uncle, my father's previous plan has failed, and the battle of Hangu Pass is inevitable."

Ying Zheng looked worried, he knew that his uncle was injured.

As for the plan of this former king?

Prince Xiang Chu died in May, and in April, the Coalition of Five Kingdoms, led by Xinlingjun, defeated the Qin general Meng Fu on the south bank of the Yellow River, and then directly attacked the Hangu Pass.

In the face of such a situation, Prince Xiang Chu used a plot to divide the relationship between King Wei and Xinlingjun, in order to surrender the army without a fight, and now it is almost August, but he didn't expect that King Wei still trusts Xinlingjun.

"It's not invalid, after all, the offensive of the five-nation alliance has indeed slowed down a lot in the past two months, which shows that my brother's strategy still worked, but it just failed to achieve the expected results." Ying Ze replied.

In fact, he was not surprised, although the relationship between Xinling Jun and the current King of Wei was not very good, it was not so easy to make trouble.

"Besides, it doesn't make much sense to talk about it now, and now we can think about going all out."

"Facing the battle, if you are facing the battle, how many troops does your uncle think will be needed to repel the enemy?" Ying Zheng asked.

"About 500,000." Ying Ze said a conservative number, although his plan didn't use that much.

"Five hundred thousand? Since Wu Anjun was white, there is no one in my Qin State who can coordinate such a huge army, who does my uncle think can be the commander? ”

"......" the corners of Ying Ze's eyes twitched slightly.

Uninhabited? Do you look down on your uncle and me?

"Well, uncle, I'm not saying you can't!" Ying Zheng also saw his uncle's expression, but he didn't mean that.

"It's just a wound on your body......"

He still remembers that his mother forcibly ripped off his uncle's clothes last month, and the location of the wound was almost a little bit.

"Minor injury, it's fine."

Ying Ze shook his head, his injury would be completely healed in less than half a month.

As for the issue of army command that Ying Zheng said......

It's not because the generals of the Qin State are not capable, but because the army is also divided into factions, with the current situation of the generals of the Qin State, no one can lead such a huge Qin army, if the 500,000 Qin army is forcibly recruited, not only will it not be able to give full play to the combat power of the 500,000 army, but it will even be greatly discounted.

After all, the army is not stronger and stronger, and it still needs a general with sufficient ability, but the Qin State has not yet been able to completely command an army of 500,000 since its confession.

Wang Jian is half counted, his ability may be enough at this time, but his qualifications and reputation are still lacking, and Meng Fei's qualifications and reputation are enough, but his ability is difficult to compete, especially when he has just lost the battle.

If you have to find such a person in the Qin State, except for Yingze, who has fought all over the country and has gained prestige, maybe Lü Buwei is barely one, not because he has the talent to lead troops, but because he can coordinate the various factions in the army well with his status.

Because he was still named the Xiangguo of Great Qin by Yingzi Chu, but he didn't do it as usual, and asked Yingzheng to call him Xiangguo, after all, this brother is helping by the side, why call an outsider?

But if Lü Buwei is allowed to lead the troops, it will undoubtedly give the other party a chance to meddle in the military circles, and once the ministers have military power, it is obviously not the result that Ying Zheng wants to see, nor is it something that Ying Ze can accept.

Even if Ying Ze and Lü Buwei currently have a good relationship, once the other party is contaminated with military power, the relationship between the two of them will not be as harmonious as it is now.

In addition, in Ying Zheng's view, there is no need for Qin to fight this battle, the military strength of the five-nation alliance is as high as five or six hundred thousand, and looking at this posture, it is about to reach 800,000, if it fights hard with the other party, even if it wins, it will be a heavy loss.

On the other hand, even if the five countries are defeated, the losses are divided equally among the five countries, and for any one of them, the losses are within a bearable range.

The previous discord plan should be the best way in Yingzheng's opinion.

But for Ying Ze, he has to fight this battle!

Not only to completely stabilize his position in the army, but also what he wants......

Moreover, in Ying Ze's opinion, the chances of winning this battle are actually very high, or it is basically impossible for him to lose.

Because the commander of the coalition army, Xinling Jun, has a fatal weakness, that is, the king of Wei, without the support of the king of Wei, even if his reputation is famous in the six kingdoms of Shandong, and he has unparalleled influence in the state of Zhao, but without the Wei army of the king of Wei, the armies of the other four countries will undoubtedly be tied to his command.

As long as Xinlingjun is solved, the five-nation alliance army that has left Germany will be left......
