The sun shines its first golden rays from the horizon, casting a veil over the undulating roofs of Xianyang.

A high-pitched rooster crows to wake up the entire sleeping city.

People start their day with sleepy eyes.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The low sound of drums echoed over the entire Xianyang. Accompanied by the solemn drums, the heavily armed armor soldiers rode high-headed horses to guard the various intersections of Xianyang and the residences of key officials.

The people of Xianyang stopped what they were doing and looked up in the direction of the palace.

This is...... The king has passed away?

"By the order of the crown prince Chu, summon the captain, the prime minister, the imperial doctor, Fengchang, the pawn, and the Zongzheng into the palace!"

The imperial historian supervises the civil and military officials, and holds the chapter of the atlas.

Feng Chang is the head of the Nine Qings and is in charge of the temple.

The clan is in charge of the affairs of the royal family and the clan.

The crown prince Chu suddenly summoned these people, which shows that the king is really bad.

A black haze hung over everyone's mind.

The people of Xianyang silently put away the bright things and took out the mourning objects from the last time Qin Zhaoxiang Wang died at the time.

In just two years, Great Qin lost two Ming lords in a row, and this third Qin king was a sick man.

Could it be that this is a warning from heaven?

In Xianyang City, everyone was sad and didn't dare to laugh loudly, but who knows what they thought in their hearts?

Cai Ze sat in the galloping carriage, slowly calculating in his heart, it was time for the rapids to retreat. Lü Buwei has long been eyeing the position of Qin Xiang, and after Zichu ascends the throne, he will definitely order Lü Buwei to be the prime minister.

After you resign, do you want to defect to the female monarch? There is a great shortage of people on her side, and Hu Feizi has written several times, complaining that things are busy and her body can't bear it.

What is more panicked than Cai Ze is the relatives of Chu, the king of Qin loves Mrs. Huayang, and with him in one day, the relatives can walk sideways in the Qin country.

But once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zichu will not be used to them like King Qin.

"Mrs. Huayang is not the biological mother of the crown prince Chu, and she has no deep influence on her."

"How is the Chu girl? Can you get Zichu's favor? ”

The Chu girl this person asked was Cheng Jiao's biological mother and the wife of the crown prince Chu.

"Grace in general."

The faces of the relatives were gloomy, and the scene was quiet.

A cautious voice interrupted the silence: "Although it is a wife, it is not ......"

！！！

Zi Chu's painting is a good big cake! He treated Chu Nu preferentially everywhere, and let Chu Nu be in charge of things in the backyard, plus before Gongzi returned to Qin, Chu Nu had a son.

So everyone tacitly assumed that Chu Nu was his wife, and he didn't pursue the matter of being on the roster!

Now from a legal point of view, Zichu has no wife! Gongzi Chengjiao and Gongzi have the same status.

What's even more terrifying is the deep meaning behind this move! Zichu, is he dissatisfied with his relatives? Does he value Gongzizheng more?

"Whether it is for the Chu State or for ourselves, the Queen of Great Qin must be our Chu people! Go and write to that side, we want to marry Gongzizheng! The head of the relatives said.

Gongzizheng, who was worried about his relatives, pretended to meet Cai Ze by chance, the two exchanged glances, and then entered the palace together.

In the palace, Mrs. Huayang cried breathlessly, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair was slightly messy.

The crown prince Chu sat on the top, endured his grief, and discussed the funeral with Cai Ze, Fengchang and Zongzheng.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the custom of human and animal animals had weakened and was strongly opposed by the Central Plains.

Because of the blooming of hundreds of schools, the concept of funeral has changed greatly.

Confucius advocated a thin burial: "Ceremony, rather than luxury, rather than frugality." Mourning, with its easy also, rather relative. ”

Zichu also meant that the Qin regime changed too frequently, and he didn't want to cause political turmoil, so he wanted to shorten the time for mourning and reduce the cost.

Zong Zheng disagreed: "Mencius paid attention to filial piety, and it should be buried thickly." ”

That's right, Confucius and Mencius, both Confucians, fought left and right.

Zi Chu pursed his lips, as a son of man, he couldn't say it clearly, saying that he wanted to spend less money and ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Doctor Yushi: "The upward and downward effects, thick burials and long mournings will lead to political inaccessibility, insufficient wealth, unfilial piety, disloyal ministers, and chaos in the world." ”

Feng Chang said that how can ordinary people be compared with emperors? At the moment when the trend of thick burials is prevalent, the Qin State takes the lead in thin burials, which will only make the other six countries think that the Qin State is not strong enough and even the emperor cannot afford to bury it.

Zi Chu ......

Cai Ze stood aside like a clay man, ignoring it. Obviously, the scene in front of him is a new monarch and old ministers fighting for the right to speak.

As Qin Xiang, who was destined to resign, neither party asked his opinion.

Gongzizheng lowered his head, and he was quite disdainful of this Ah Weng in his heart. Since it was the new monarch who ascended the throne, and he was not a child, why should he discuss with them with good words?

Directly say a word, establish the majesty of the new monarch! Many fish have said to themselves that an unhappy childhood will take a lifetime to heal.

Zichu's hesitation may have been caused by his childhood experience. He is good at beating around the bush, intriguing and tricking, judging the situation and showing weakness, but he still lacks the domineering spirit of being an emperor!

He may be a good emperor, but he won't be a monarch who has accomplished the great cause of Great Qin!

Gongzizheng is full of pride in his heart, and he still has to rely on himself for the heavy task of unifying the six countries!

"We'll talk about it later." Zi Chu rubbed his eyebrows, this delay is equivalent to giving in to the courtiers in disguise, "The pawn informed the countries of the funeral. ”

"Whoa!"

After everyone retreated, the guards stepped forward and said, "Lü Buwei asks to see you." ”

Zi Chu smiled bitterly in his heart, above the court, there must still be his own people! Although Lü Buwei was ambitious, his natural position was to be on his side, and in return, he should indeed be given the position of prime minister.

Compared with the grief of the Qin State, the attitude of the other six countries is very ambiguous.

Zhao Guo belongs, even if he is not doing well, as long as Qin Guo is even worse, he will be very happy.

The states of Zhou and Chu, which were beaten by the state of Qin, thought that this was retribution and heavenly punishment.

Chu people: "What if they seize Hubei?" It's just a small place. For this little thing, King Qin died of excitement, he really had never seen the world. ”

Western Zhou people: "They were originally born as horse slaves, how can they have vision at all?" ”

The Chu people gritted their teeth: "There are still so many fish and Wang Qian, the new king is on the throne, and he may not be able to accommodate them!" ”

When the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty thought that King Zhou Yu defected to Bashu, but was sent back to Xianyang by many fish, causing all the IOUs signed by King Zhou to be invalidated, their hearts ached.

The people of the Western Zhou Dynasty: "You Chu women are beautiful in the world, and you have fascinated two Qin kings in a row." Why don't you take the prince's government? Without the support of Gongzizheng, I see that many fish still dare to run rampant! ”

Chu people hehehe: "How do you know that we didn't send Chu Nu out?" This time, the Mi family made a bloody investment and sent the pearl of the Mi family to Xianyang. It is rumored that she looks better than a fairy, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, coupled with the help of Mrs. Huayang, I don't believe that Gongzi's political ability is not chaotic! ”
