Chapter 160: Father Zhong is old, useless, it's time to retire!
Xiong Xia said loudly: "The demon is terrifying, but the more terrifying thing is the traitor!" ”
"Chang Yu is willing to be a demon and evil, and he is incapable of becoming a Nangong eunuch."
"It is Xiangbang's recommendation that can make Chang Yu steal a high position!"
"Why?" Xiong Xia interrupted and said: "Control the Queen Mother!" ”
"At that time, the demon intruded on the Queen Mother in the Ganquan Palace, and Chang Yu and Xiangbang controlled the Queen Mother outside."
"How can the Queen Mother do what she says and does as she pleases? They should all be regarded as evil spirits and traitors! ”
"The minister thinks that the queen mother has not lost her morality, please take back the decree!"
chose to make trouble on the occasion of the feast, is the Chu family just to eradicate the Chang Yu family?
No, that's the benefit they've already been destined to get through the war, and they're in no hurry to cash it in.
Chang Yu and his subordinates are no longer enough to be treated as a meal, they are just an introduction.
Zhao Ji is also just an introduction.
Xiong Xia hopes that on the condition of not imprisoning Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji will be willing to be used by them, and the sword will be pointed at Lu Buwei!
However, in the face of Xiong Xia's plan, Zhao Ji just shook his head boringly: "Heh~ That's all?" ”
Xiong Xia was fighting for her pardon, but Zhao Ji continued to walk outside the palace without even looking at Xiong Xia.
Xiong Xia was stunned, and immediately said, "Where is the Queen Mother?" ”
"Won't the Queen Mother explain herself?"
"Those crimes were not committed by the Queen Mother, why should the Queen Mother be imprisoned in the Lingyang Palace for some crimes committed by others?"
Ying Zheng also stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Does the queen mother have anything to explain?" ”
While speaking, Ying Zheng hoped to see Zhao Ji follow the steps given by Xiong Xia and put the blame on Chang Yu, Lu Buwei and the demon.
This is not because Yingzheng wants to give Zhao Ji back her freedom.
Instead, the former Yingzheng was controlled by Zhao Ji with power, and he had to be forced to do what he didn't want to do at all with the power in Zhao Ji's hands and hurt the people he loved.
But today, the status has changed!
Ying Zheng wants to see Zhao Ji have to be forced by power like he once was, and taste the mood of Ying Zheng!
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Zhao Ji stopped and slowly turned around.
Looking up at the most familiar but unfamiliar figure on the high platform, Zhao Ji bowed down and said in a deep voice:
"Lonely, confess!"
"Alone admits that he is immoral, he should go to Mingyang Palace as soon as possible."
Xiong Xia was stunned: "Queen Mother, you!" ”
Zhao Ji made a decision that exceeded the expectations of Chu's relatives.
She would rather be imprisoned in the Mingyang Palace than put the blame on Lu Buwei?
Judging from the report sent back by Nei Ying, Zhao Ji has long had no feelings for Lu Buwei!
Why did Zhao Ji do this for Lu Buwei?
The corners of Zhao Ji's mouth lifted a touch of ridicule: "Do you think that what you give to Lone is what Lone wants?" ”
"What you want, you can't give it to anyone!"
Self-imprisoning in the Yang Palace can be a very heavy punishment for others.
But for Zhao Ji, compared to the emptiness of the spirit and body, self-imprisonment in the Yang Palace is a fart!
If you send a handsome, heroic and high-spirited man like Gu Er, what if Gu just shakes out all the that Lu Buwei used to do?
Can you just be released from captivity?
Sort of a fart!
That being the case, it is better to have a good heart!
Lone will never show a trace of a loser in front of Lone's child!
Even if your mother is old and loses power, she will always be your mother, how can she admit defeat to her son?
Looking at Zhao Ji who was striding away, Ying Zheng's hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and he muttered angrily: "Queen Mother, just the identity of a biological mother, do you want to suppress the widow for the rest of your life!" ”
"Even if you made such a big mistake, and even almost killed the widow, you don't want to say sorry to the widow?"
Zhao Ji is waiting for Ying Zheng's apology.
Ying Zheng is waiting for Zhao Ji's apology!
But neither side thinks they are wrong, and they can never wait for the other party's apology.
can only wait for the other party's more and more rigid revenge, so that the contradiction becomes more and more intense!
Zhao Ji's departure plunged the Qi Nian Palace into silence for dozens of breaths.
After a while, Xiong Xia adjusted his mentality and thinking, and gave his hand again: "The minister will admonish again!" ”
"Xiangbang Buwei is the lord of Chang Yu, Chang Yu conspires against him, and Xiangbang Buwei should sit on it!"
"And according to the minister's investigation, during the period when Xiangbang Buwei was in power, he was widely bribed and committed many violations of the law."
"The piles and piles have all been included in the book, and they are being displayed outside the palace, waiting for the king's summons."
"Minister, please kill Xiang Bang Buwei!"
When Zhao Ji was unwilling to help, Xiong Xia could only roll up his sleeves and go on it himself.
But as the party who was executed by Xiong Xia's advice, Lu Buwei didn't seem to hear Xiong Xia's words, he still sat silently behind the desk, holding a knife in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, and the burning action was more diligent than the historian not far away.
This set of actions will make Xiong Man unable to fix it again.
First Zhao Ji, then Lu Buwei, why don't you play cards according to the routine?
Are there any normal people in this court!
Seeing this, Changyun sighed softly, and came out to scold: "Ridiculous! ”
"In the past, Zheng Anping led 20,000 soldiers and horses to defect to Zhao State, and Xiang Bangju (Fan Ju) was not guilty."
"Lu Xiang has served as my Great Qin Xiangbang for 12 years, helped me to capture more than 70 cities in Great Qin, and added three counties: Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dongjun County."
"In the past, Zheng Anping led 20,000 soldiers and horses to defect to Zhao State, resulting in a great defeat in the Battle of Handan, and the prime minister Jushang was pardoned."
"Lu Xiang has made great contributions to my Great Qin, and the credit is no less than that of Xiang Bangju, why should he be sat to death because of Chang Yu's rebellion?"
Changyun shouted to Yingzheng: "The minister asks for his life, and begs the king to forgive Lu Xiang's sin of joint sitting!" ”
Behind Changyun, nearly thirty percent of the officials came out in unison and bowed their hands: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Xiong Qi waved his hand: "What Changlang said is quite biased. ”
"In the past, Zheng Anping committed treason and defected to the enemy, but Xiang Bangju knew nothing about it, so he was pardoned for death."
"But does Lu Xiang really know nothing about what Chang Yu intends to make trouble?"
Xiong Qi got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Xiang, as a Xiangbang, interfered in the affairs of Nangong, and made every effort to promote Chang Yu to serve as the eunuch of Nangong, out of conspiracy!" ”
"Please check it strictly!"
Changyun said in a loud voice: "Lu Xiang is dedicated to protecting the king, how can he have the heart to be unfavorable to the king?" ”
"Chang Yu is in turmoil, and Lu Xiang immediately summoned the Hakka servants to help the king."
"Lu Xiangmen has 3,000 people under his command, but there are only more than 1,300 people left after this battle, isn't this enough to prove Lu Xiang's loyalty!"
Xiong Qi said unceremoniously: "This just proves Lu Xiang's dereliction of duty!" ”
"If Lu Xiang is loyal to his duties, how can there be that big battle in Qi Nian Palace!"
When Xiong Qi and Chang Yun respectively expressed their attitudes, it marked another escalation of the war.
Nearly eighty percent of the courtiers in the court came out one after another, and they were clamoring endlessly.
But Lü Buwei, who was one of the key points of the incident, still sat quietly behind the desk.
Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Can the middle father deliberately refute it?" ”
Lu Buwei replied without raising his head: "Wait, wait." ”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
What are you waiting for?
What do you have left to be unleashed!
Ying Zheng's voice aggravated a little: "The major affairs of the country, I can't wait!" ”
Lü Buwei sped up his pen, and after hastily writing the last few words, he blew off the bamboo crumbs on the bamboo slips, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you still have the copy of "Lü's Spring and Autumn" that the minister gave you?" ”
At this moment, Lü Buwei has lost the appearance of the powerful minister in the past.
On the contrary, it is like an old father in his seventies and eighties, who has no pension, no ability to work, and is sick, carefully asking his son if he still keeps the exercise book he once gave his son.
Ying Zheng didn't know why, but he still nodded: "It's still in the imperial study." ”
Lu Buwei smiled with relief: "In this way, the minister will be relieved!" ”
"This is part of the content that the minister has added and changed according to what he thinks today, please take a look at the king's leisure."
As he spoke, Lu Buwei handed out a bamboo slip with both hands.
Ying Zheng took the bamboo slip and frowned slightly: "The middle father has been holding a knife and pen to burn endlessly, is he adding and changing "Lu's Spring and Autumn"? ”
Lu Buwei nodded lightly: "If there are mistakes and omissions, we should add and change them as soon as possible." ”
Immediately, Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng sincerely: "In the future, someone will definitely attack the "Interim Law of the New District". ”
"But no matter how much they say, they can't beat the facts!"
"The minister asked the king to go to Yingchuan County to see the changes that this law has brought to the lives of the Qiantou."
Ying Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper: "Father Zhong, the matter discussed this time is not the "Interim Law of the New District". ”
"It's about the sins of the middle father!"
"Changping Jun played the middle father's recommendation of traitors, dereliction of duty, and negligence, can the middle father plead guilty?"
Lu Buwei bowed his head lightly: "The minister knows, the minister knows." ”
Taking a light breath, Lu Buwei, who had been silent for a long time, finally got up.
In an instant, the audience fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were on Lü Buwei, waiting for a self-defense from Lü Buwei.
Facing the realization of a pair of pairs, Lü Buwei walked down the stairs step by step, and finally stood in the square.
Turning around, Lu Buwei bowed to Yingzheng: "Chen Buwei, confess!" ”
Looking down at Lu Buwei, a trace of happiness rose in Yingzheng's heart.
The former Yingzheng needed to tilt his head and talk to Lü Buwei.
Now, it is finally Lu Buwei's turn to raise his head and talk to Yingzheng!
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Xiangbang Buwei recommended the traitor as the eunuch of Nangong, and the minister was negligent and derelict in his duties, so he should sit together!" ”
"Pass the widow's order!"
"Strike the prime minister, the marquis of Wei Wenxin, and the lord will be guilty!"
"Depose Lu Buwei Xiangbang and demote him to the common people!"
Ying Zheng has become pro-government, and this court no longer needs Lu Buwei's assistance!
Lu Buwei bowed deeply and bowed his hand: "Only! ”
After the words fell, Lü Buwei's hands that had just crowned Yingzheng four times took off his marquis crown!
The audience was in an uproar.
"Lu Xiang, no!"
"Even if you bear the sin of being co-sitted, you should never bear such a heavy punishment with your more than ten years of credit!"
"If the king punishes Lu Xiang like this, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of the Great Qin people!"
The relatives of the Chu family shouted in unison: "King Shengming! ”
Changyun and other subordinates of Lü Buwei were excited.
They simply could not understand why Lü Buwei had chosen to resign so decisively.
Only Lü Buwei knew that this was his best chance to withdraw from the court.
The contradiction between Lü Buwei and Ying Zheng has long been clear, and Ying Zheng's reluctance to accept Lü Buwei's manipulation is also very obvious.
If Lü Buwei continues to rely on the position of Xiangbang, he seems to be able to retain power, but the contradictions between him and Yingzheng will only get deeper and deeper, and every day he stays in the court, Lü Buwei will be further away from his political ideas, and may even cause Yingzheng's rebellious mentality.
This will do more harm than good to Lü Buwei's political demands!
And if Ying Zheng really made up his mind to expel Lü Buwei from the court, how long could he stop Lü Buwei's remaining forces?
Even so, it is better to leave the scene in the end.
After taking one last look at Yingzheng, Lü Buwei put the marquis's crown on the ground and bowed again: "I only wish, Daqin Wannian!" ”
A generation of famous ministers through the ages ended his political career on his own.
Changyun couldn't understand and couldn't believe it, looking at Lu Buwei's bleak back.
But in the end, Changyun still gave up: "Congratulations to Lu Xiang!" ”
Jiang Zan and more than 20 other descendants and cronies also shouted in unison:
"Congratulations to Lu Xiang!"
However, there were only more than 20 people who shouted, and it was completely incomparable to the scene of hundreds of people complaining about Lu Buwei.
People go to tea and cool, nothing more than that.
Chang Yu, who was bound by the tortoise shell, laughed loudly: "Lu Buwei, you also have today, you also have today!" ”
"What did my father say when he talked to you in the past?"
"Helping this father is your only chance, with the measure of Yingzheng's son, it is impossible for him to let you die well!"
"Impossible!"
"Today, Yingzheng will remove you from your official position, and Yingzheng will definitely kill you in the future!"
Seeing that Lu Buwei was unlucky, Chang Yu was even happier than if he was pardoned.
What's even more heart-wrenching is that what Chang Yu said is likely to come true!
Changyun scolded angrily: "You traitor still dare to be presumptuous? ”
"If it weren't for your rebellion, why would Xiangbang be like this!"
Jiang Zan grabbed the hilt of the sword, stared at Chang Yu deadly, and scolded hatefully: "His mother!" This official can't wait to chop him into minced meat! ”
However, these words were no threat to Chang Yu.
He's a dying man, what's there to be afraid of?
Chang Yu laughed even more happily, and even rolled on the ground happily, slamming his head on the ground: "Hahahaha~"
"When you led the army to rescue Qi Nian Palace, did you ever think that you would also have today?"
"If you don't meddle in your affairs and let my father lead the army to besiege and kill Yingzheng, you can't be the right minister today, and you can continue to be the left minister."
"But look at you now! It's like a dog! ”
Ying Chengcheng suddenly said in a loud voice: "Where is the imperial doctor's order?" ”
Xia Wuhe hurriedly came out: "The minister is here!" ”
Ying Cheng commanded solemnly: "Go to the king's house to find the best medicinal materials, if there is no in the king's house, the king will ask the king for it." ”
"It's important to configure the best medicine for your life."
Ying Chengcheng showed a smile: "Benjun likes Chang Yu's lively appearance now, and Benjun hopes that he can always be so lively after the execution." ”
Xia Wuhe held back a smile and shouted: "Only! ”
Chang Yu's action of grabbing the ground with his head stiffened, and he looked at Ying Chengcheng in disbelief.
Bengong thought that you were already cruel to the extreme, and no matter how bad the ending of Bengong was, it couldn't be much worse.
But how cruel could you be?
You're definitely not human, you're a demon!
The smile doesn't go away, it just shifts from one person's face to another's.
Lu Buwei smiled and turned to Ying Chengcheng and saluted: "Thank you!" ”
Ying Chengcheng returned the salute and said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang, go all the way!" ”
