On the other hand, although Wei Zhuang was seriously injured, his life was not in danger. After he recovered, he would naturally receive rewards from Ying Zheng.
Since it is a famous Mengque, we have to be more careful.
After all, the current strength of the Meng family is supported by his grandfather Meng Ao, his uncle Meng Wu, and himself Meng Que.
The things Ying Zheng asked him to prepare were also a bit strange.
Thanks to Ying Zheng's great power and the ferocity of his soldiers, the copper that Ying Zheng wanted was finally collected in one day.
"Um."
This was the only sound heard in the room, and no other words were spoken.
Meng Que didn't understand what this meant, and didn't dare to say anything. He just waited outside the door, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Just leave it there, I'll go take a look later."
Fortunately, the silence did not last long, and Ying Zheng's voice came down again with orders.
Meng Que wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without saying a word, responded and retreated.
Only silence remained in the room.
…
Xianyang at this time was both exceptionally peaceful and exceptionally restless.
Everything cannot be judged on the surface.
Not to mention Xianyang, the center of this power vortex.
At this time, a man, an unusual man, arrived in the Xianyang harem.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for this person, who was gradually marginalized after Ying Zichu ascended the throne, to appear here.
But he still showed up, and his appearance was particularly open and aboveboard.
With the imperial decree of Empress Dowager Huayang in hand, naturally no one in the harem dared to stop it.
Ying Zichu ascended to heaven and took Zhao Ji with him. There were no other concubines in the entire harem except Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia.
Queen Dowager Xia was always weaker than Queen Dowager Huayang. In the harem, Queen Dowager Huayang's orders were sometimes more useful than those of Ying Zheng.
"Mi Chen, you're here?"
Queen Dowager Huayang had been waiting for this person to arrive. She sat alone in the palace waiting, and the maids who had been serving beside her were sent away.
"Your Majesty, I greet the Queen Mother Huayang."
Mi Chen bowed with a smile.
He didn't know what Queen Dowager Huayang meant by summoning him.
When Huang Da had the greatest chance of rising to prominence, it was this person in front of him who suppressed him. Although he was later given the title of Lord Yangquan, it was still not enough for him.
He has been suppressed tightly in the past few years, although a lot of it is because Ying Zheng's power is too great, which has made him lose some of his thoughts. Otherwise, even with the pressure from Queen Dowager Huayang, he would not dare to make trouble with Ying Zichu.
However, Mi Chen, who had already made up his mind not to help Queen Dowager Huayang, was not very interested in the subsequent words.
After all, they suppressed him when he was at his peak, and now that he is showing some signs of decline, they have to rely on him again.
Queen Mother Huayang is Mi Chen's biological sister, but it is impossible for her to ask him to do anything.
"Sister is not in the mood to joke with you, so why don't you put on some airs?"
Mi Chen instantly realized that this matter was probably no small matter, otherwise he would not have allowed Queen Mother Huayang to lower herself to get close to her.
You must know that ever since Queen Dowager Huayang was favored by King Xiaowen of Qin, only Mi Chen mentioned the titles of the siblings, and there was no Queen Dowager Huayang who mentioned them herself.
However, the situation is still favorable for Queen Dowager Huayang. After all, Ying Zheng was raised by Queen Dowager Huayang, so she should be treated with some respect.
Since Queen Dowager Huayang has not lost her power, there is naturally no reason for Mi Chen not to accept it.
"Sister, did you encounter any difficulties in the palace?"
Mi Chen knelt forward two steps calmly, wanting to see the Queen Mother Huayang's expression clearly before making his next plan.
Although they all want to side with Ying Zheng, if the Queen Mother Huayang's demands are not too excessive, it is not impossible to compromise.
No one would dislike the increasing power in his hands, nor would he dislike the size of the official position or the size of the title.
When Mi Chen was an official, he dared to match Queen Dowager Huayang with Lu Buwei in order to get ahead, thus making Ying Zichu the legitimate son. Wasn't it all for power?
"It's nothing serious. It's just that Zheng'er has been back in Xianyang for three days. He didn't come to visit me, but went to Yongcheng to worship his ancestors instead..."
Mi Chen looked at the Queen Mother Huayang who was somewhat self-pitying in front of him, and knew that these were probably just excuses, excuses for what he was going to do next.
"...I summoned my brother here today simply to give him a fighting chance at court. Lü Buwei has already committed suicide, and Cai Ze is old, so the position of prime minister seems vacant..."
Although Queen Dowager Huayang did not express her words clearly, Mi Chen already understood.
It's just a matter of finding someone who can speak in the court so that Ying Zheng can truly see the power of Queen Mother Huayang and not ignore her.
"Everything is arranged by my sister."
Mi Chen had no reason to refuse, and it was impossible for him to refuse.
With Ying Zheng's power, no matter who became the prime minister, his power would not be very great, but this did not prevent Mi Chen from fighting for it.
That position originally belonged to him, and it should have belonged to him three years ago.
…
At Meng Ao's residence in Xianyang, Meng Ao and Cai Ze were discussing state affairs together.
Ever since Ying Zheng left Xianyang, all the government affairs in Xianyang have been handled by them.
This trust is even greater than that of Ying Zichu.
The addition of three bamboo slips of martial arts techniques made them even more loyal.
No one can sit still in the face of immortality.
Not to mention that this immortality has been confirmed by them to have some authenticity.
What we say is always exaggerated, and what is written in books may not be true. Only when you experience it yourself will you believe it.
Half of the gray hair on their heads has disappeared.
