In the early hours of the next morning.

Before dawn, Chang Yu put on his court clothes and went to Xianyang Palace.

It is different from the big court meeting that was opened in the main hall of Xianyang Palace and attended by the ministers.

The small court meeting of Great Qin was opened in the imperial study, and usually only important ministers with a rank of more than 2,000 stones, such as the three princes and the nine kings, attended the meeting.

Therefore, Chang Yu waited for a long time at the gate of the palace before he got the message.

Dressed in the court, Chang Yu walked into the imperial study step by step.

"Minister, Nangong eunuch Changyu, meet the king!" glanced at Yingzheng, who was sitting on the high platform, and Chang Yu bowed deeply.

Ying Zheng bowed slightly: "Flat, give a seat." ”

"Thank you, the king!" After thanking him, he sat down on the cushion at the very edge of the imperial study.

Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Is the queen mother okay?" ”

Chang Yu sighed: "King Lao bothered, the queen mother ...... she"

"Since yesterday, I have wanted to find a short term several times, but fortunately, the eunuchs and palace maids have been around us, so that they have not caused a big disaster!"

Ying Zheng was stunned: "The queen mother wants to find a short time? ”

Ying Zheng's hands clenched into fists in his sleeves, his fingernails deeply imprinted into his flesh, and he relied on the pain to control his mood.

The heart told itself over and over again.

Can't laugh!

No matter how excessive Zhao Ji is, she is her own mother after all.

Resolutely not to laugh!

And there must be a conspiracy behind this!

After adjusting for a few seconds, Ying Zheng suddenly got up and asked angrily: "What happened to make the queen mother want to die?" ”

"Mo Feier and others bullied the queen mother, and the queen mother was unbearable to find a short-term view!"

Chang Yu hurriedly arched his hand in the direction of Ganquan Palace: "We only have respect for the Queen Mother in our hearts, and there is absolutely no possibility of bullying the Queen Mother!" ”

"It's just that the Queen Mother heard extremely vicious rumors yesterday, so she was depressed and didn't want to live anymore!"

Ying Zheng immediately asked: "What kind of rumor is it?" ”

Chang Yu knelt on the ground and shook his head bitterly: "That rumor is too damaging, and the minister doesn't dare to say it!" ”

Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "The widow forgives you for your innocence, speak up!" ”

Chang Yu hesitated a few more times, and then sighed helplessly, and whispered:

"There are rumors that the king is from the queen mother and Xiangbang, not the first prince!"

Ying Zheng: !!

Lü Buwei: ???

From Yingzheng to Tingwei, everyone in the imperial study widened their eyes and looked at Chang Yu in disbelief.

Are you serious?

Ying Zheng was really angry this time: "Why are there such unwise rumors!" ”

"Who spread this rumor?!"

Chang Yu smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "His Majesty is just a Nangong eunuch, who serves the Queen Mother wholeheartedly on weekdays, and has no ability to investigate." ”

"Your Majesty's understanding of this rumor is limited to the circulation of the palace maids and eunuchs in the Ganquan Palace, as well as the accusations of the servant Sun Xi."

Realizing that Sun Xi might be an important person, Ying Zheng immediately ordered: "Summons Sun Xi!" ”

After the order, Ying Zheng looked at Lu Buwei and asked, "What does the middle father think?" ”

Lu Buwei's eyelids drooped, and his eyes looked at Chang Yu fixedly.

Lu Buwei made a judgment at the first time, Chang Yu had betrayed him!

Since this is the case, even if this rumor is not spread by Chang Yu, it definitely has a great relationship with Chang Yu.

But Lü Buwei didn't know why.

Why did Chang Yu spread such crazy rumors?

He helped Chang Yu become Zhao Ji's forbidden body, so that Chang Yu could sit and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Even if you don't thank him, you shouldn't hate him!

And this rumor is also very strong against Zhao Ji, in case Zhao Ji's position is unstable, can he still have a good life?

Where did he, Lu Buwei, offend Chang Yu to death, so that Chang Yu wanted to take revenge on him in this crazy way that he almost died together?

Lu Buwei can't figure it out!

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, Lu Buwei bowed directly to Ying Zheng:

"Your Majesty, this rumor seems to be out of mind, but it is an attack on the legal system of your succession, and it is also a slander against the ministers."

"The person who spread this rumor has an extremely vicious mind, and his intention is to rebel!"

"Minister's advice, do whatever it takes, investigate thoroughly!"

Ying Zheng asked with dark eyes: "Thorough investigation?" ”

Lu Buwei solemnly saluted again: "Minister, please investigate thoroughly!" ”

"This matter is related to the reputation of the ministers, and the ministers ask the king to clear the grievances of the ministers."

"This matter is more about the Great Qin Society, and anyone who dares to obstruct it is shaking the foundation of my Great Qin!"

Today, only Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji can confirm the truth of this rumor 100%.

Lu Buwei has not done anything wrong, so he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

Therefore, Lü Buwei's attitude is extremely determined.

Ying Zheng also bowed slightly solemnly: "What the middle father said is very true. ”

"The widow will never let the middle father be wronged!"

When the words fell, Ying Zheng glanced in the direction of Han Cang.

Han Cang subconsciously wanted to tell all the information he had.

But thinking of Mrs. Han's explanation, Han Cang still forcibly suppressed his anxiety.

Chang Yu glanced at Han Cang in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Han Cang to be able to resist not speaking first, but he just smiled, and sat peacefully on the soft couch in the far corner, waiting patiently.

An hour later, Sun Xi came at the order.

In the face of Lü Buwei's questioning, Sun Xi replied without hesitation: "This rumor was spread by the ministers of Chang'an Junling!" ”

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, and he fell into a long silence.

Lu Buwei frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that my Daqin is falsely accusing and sitting?" ”

Sun Xi bowed his hand: "Back to Xiangbang, the minister naturally knows." ”

"Before Chang'an Jun set out on the expedition, he specially ordered our vassals to spread this rumor, to drive a wedge between the king and Xiangbang, and to make the people of the world mistakenly think that the king is not worthy of being the king of Qin."

"In this way, Chang'an Jun is the only heir to the throne of King Qin."

"Chang'anjun himself also spread this rumor in Tunliu County, intending to incite the head of Tunliu Qiantou and the soldiers of Zhengdong to lead the people to rebel!"

"The minister didn't want the king to be humiliated, and he couldn't tolerate such despicable methods, so he informed the queen mother of this."

"The minister has no intention of making false accusations, and the details can be found out as long as the king and Xiangbang investigate a little."

"After all, the person who spreads this rumor for Chang'anjun is not only one minister!"

"Han Shangqing, did you say?"

When the words fell, Sun Xi looked at Han Cang playfully.

Han Cang's own subordinates really didn't spread the rumors, but Han Cang knew very well whose door was spreading the rumors.

If Han Cang said that he didn't know, then when Ying Zheng found out about Han Cang, Han Cang would be a big crime of bullying the king, and he would definitely die.

If Han Cang said that he knew, it would be difficult to get rid of the charges on Ying Chengcheng's body!

Facing the gaze of the ministers, Han Cang sighed helplessly: "Sun Servant shoots, why is this so?" ”

Sun Xi paced in front of Han Cang and said in a low voice: "Han Shangqing, Chang'anjun is finished!" ”

"Since the collapse of the Empress Dowager Xia, Chang'anjun has no possibility of living, even if you struggle in every way, it is just for Chang'anjun to survive for a while."

"Han Shangqing has done his best to Chang'anjun and Empress Dowager Xia, and even Sun admires him."

"Now that Chang'anjun is going to die, Han Shangqing is not sparing his own life, please think more about the three clans!"

Han Cang sighed softly, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has indeed heard the rumors that the eunuch said. ”

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Sun Xi smiled even more triumphantly.

With Han Cang's betrayal, Chang'anjun will no longer have room to struggle.

And Han Cang's betrayal itself also gave Sun Xi great psychological comfort.

Even an honest person like Han Cang betrayed, which shows that Chang Anjun is not trustworthy, so it is reasonable for him to betray Chang Anjun!

But what they didn't expect was that Han Cang continued to speak: "Xu is because the eunuch and Sun Fushu listened to the rumors with a purpose, so they only heard a rumor. ”

"But now the folk rumors have been spreading, and the minister thinks that there must be people with evil intentions who are actively instigating."

Lu Buwei smiled pointedly: "Listen to rumors with a purpose? ”

"I want to hear about it, what a ridiculous rumor."

Han Cang responded in a solemn voice:

"Nangong Eunuch Chang Yu is the illegitimate son of King Xiaowen!"
