"Sister, are you trying to use these things to please me?"
Queen Dowager Huayang looked at the pile of things in front of her and the busy slaves behind her. She thought that the things Queen Dowager Xia was going to send were probably more than she had expected.
I originally thought that those ministers were just sending some gifts to show their loyalty, but now it seems that they may have more than that in mind.
The Queen Mother Huayang was now filled with fear. If Ying Zichu had not died, it was hard to say whether the situation in Xianyang would have changed before Ying Zheng returned.
The Queen Mother Huayang had also seen Lu Buwei, and she knew that this humble businessman had some courage and wisdom that were different from ordinary people.
If Lu Buwei was really allowed to continue, he might have placed Cheng Jiao on the throne of Qin before Ying Zheng returned.
As for whether it can be preserved or whether it will succeed, that is not a problem for Lu Buwei to consider.
For these businessmen, benefits and risks go hand in hand. If this "deal" is successful, the profit will be enormous. If it fails, it will only lead to death.
In the face of huge benefits, death is not scary.
"Sister, you're joking." Queen Mother Xia knelt beside Queen Mother Huayang with a fawning look on her face. "How could my little thing catch your eye?"
"Hmph!" Empress Dowager Huayang snorted coldly, frowning and asking Empress Dowager Xia, "Sister, you'd better explain who sent these things. If you can't remember them all, just tell me a few of the more valuable ones."
Of course, it was impossible to expect Queen Mother Xia to remember everyone, and Queen Mother Huayang did not have the time to summon all the court officials.
As long as we catch the main one, we can deal with the others later.
Regardless of whether the court officials surrendered this time, as long as the Queen Mother Huayang was in power, there would naturally be a reckoning.
After all, according to their idea, Cheng Jiao should be made the King of Qin, but Cheng Jiao and the Queen Mother Huayang did not seem to be close!
When Ying Zichu worshipped Queen Dowager Huayang as his biological mother, she did so because she wanted to have someone to rely on after the death of King Xiaowen of Qin.
And now Ying Zichu is missing, and Ying Zheng is suddenly no longer close to her, so naturally there is no need to expect her to be obedient anymore.
Ying Zichu was able to return to Qin safely, wait for Ying Zheng to come back safely, and wait for Ying Zheng to be favored by King Xiaowen of Qin. This was not only due to Lu Buwei's intervention, but more importantly, it was due to the protection of the Queen Mother Huayang!
Although he gave up a lot for Ying Zheng later, he still had the means and could always stir up some trouble again.
The Queen Mother Huayang, who had no intention of seizing power but just wanted Ying Zheng to admit his mistakes, suddenly had other ideas.
Just like the voice that incited the anger in her heart at that time, there is still a voice inciting her now, inciting her to seize power!
"After all, he is still too young!" Queen Mother Huayang suddenly sighed, startling Queen Mother Xia who was whispering the name beside her.
Empress Dowager Xia thought that Empress Dowager Huayang was saying that her voice was too soft, so she stopped hiding it and raised her voice tremblingly, which scared Empress Dowager Huayang who had not yet recovered from her shock.
However, the Queen Mother Huayang did not care. She came to her senses and continued listening. She listened for half an hour, which made the Queen Mother Huayang feel scared.
Unfortunately, Ying Zichu's behavior was unusual. If the situation had continued as it did after the death of King Xiaowen of Qin, I'm afraid Xianyang would have changed hands.
The motto on the meteorite that fell from the sky would be broken without warning, or Cheng Jiao would change his name, and he would also be a Prince Zheng.
…
The marching speed was not slow. Even though they were carrying millions of taels of gold and silver, the forty-mile journey seemed very fast, at least much faster than before.
The front had already been greeted, and the identity cards were also shown to the guards.
The carriage carrying Wang He naturally would not stop. Dozens of soldiers rushed in front to clear the way, and the other Qin soldiers were waiting outside the city, waiting for Wang Ling to enter the city again.
Wang He naturally had his own reasons for being so anxious.
Although he knew that Ying Zichu had died in vain, the power he left behind was naturally beyond reproach. Although he could not say that it would definitely allow Ying Zheng to ascend the throne safely, it was almost certain.
What he was afraid of was that Lu Buwei would really do something stupid and follow a group of court officials to make someone else the King of Qin.
That would not only be an insult to Ying Zichu, but also an insult to the entire Qin State.
Wang He had already experienced Ying Zheng's power. If Ying Zheng really went crazy, the entire Xianyang would probably be razed to the ground.
When Wang He saw the miracle happening in Yongcheng before, he didn’t take it seriously. But after thinking about it, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Less than seven days after he ascended the throne, he went to Yongcheng to establish Ying Zichu as the Black Emperor, which meant that something had happened in Xianyang.
Fortunately, Xianyang City was not in serious danger, but Wang He still did not dare to relax.
He has been away from Xianyang for a long time and doesn't know a lot of things. He needs Meng Ao and Cai Ze to talk to him in detail.
…
There is no peace in Xianyang City.
Before the letter of Wang He's return arrived at Meng Ao's residence, the news that the ministers had entered the palace had already spread.
The two people who had closed their eyes to rest opened their eyes in shock at the news.
They naturally confirmed that this was not an order from Ying Zheng.
Since Ying Zheng showed his trust in them when he left, he would naturally not avoid them when he came.
Since it wasn't Ying Zheng who sent the order, it meant that the person in the palace was causing trouble again.
"What does she want to do?! What does she want to do?!" Meng Ao almost roared as he said this.
Although he did not mention anyone by name, Cai Ze knew who he was referring to.
They naturally knew about it when the ministers sent gifts to the palace, but they did not stop them or expose them, and just let them send them.
After all, the whole of Xianyang knew that the current Queen Mother Huayang was particularly fond of Ying Zheng. If they gave it as a gift, they would only be giving it to the Queen Mother Xia, who had no say at all.
