Chapter 106: Huayang's dream is shattered, tit-for-tat



If we were to ask who Queen Dowager Huayang least wants to see now, Wang He must be one of them.

Although Wang He could not be compared with Ying Zheng, his contributions were too great and the titles he received were too high.

Wang He was different from Meng Ao and others. As a general sent to guard Ying Zheng, he had real military power.

And as far as Queen Dowager Huayang knew, the Zhou emperor that Wang He brought back when he captured Luoyang was most likely a fake!

Although this is just a rumor, there is no smoke without fire. Since such words have been spread, it means that the person in front of us is a madman who is not afraid of anything!

Perhaps Wang He would not call for the killing of Queen Dowager Huayang, nor would he find someone to replace her, but all this was based on Ying Zheng's wishes.

As long as Ying Zheng nods, Wang He will definitely do it even though he knows that he will most likely be liquidated for doing so.

It is not a good thing to be more successful than your master. If it were another emperor, Wang He would have committed suicide to apologize.

If it weren't for the overwhelming power of Ying Zheng and Ying Zichu, it would be a question whether Wang He could ever take another step out of Xianyang, let alone escort Ying Zheng to the Anyi Alliance?

As long as Ying Zheng nods, Wang He will dare to really steal the day!

This is not a contempt for the royal power, nor is it a contempt for Ying Zheng's authority, but just a manifestation of self-pollution.

If it were an ordinary emperor, doing so would naturally be a sign of seeking death, and it would be a sign that the emperor was looking for an excuse to get rid of two people.

But Ying Zheng was different. The entire Qin State, from top to bottom, had a kind of awe for Ying Zheng. This awe was more based on Ying Zheng's overwhelming power.

Ying Zheng had no concept of his ministers being more powerful than him, because all his ministers were just his foils and tools in his hands.

No matter how close Ying Zheng appears to be to them now, the alienation deep in his heart cannot be hidden.

"Mr. Wu'an."

Meng Ao and Cai Ze exchanged a slight bow, and now there should be nothing for them to do.

It’s not that the two of them are weaker than Wang He, but Wang He is carrying the orders of two generations of emperors, and no one knows about those orders.

Therefore, all the court officials, including the Queen Mother Huayang, knew that Wang He had a long conversation with Ying Zichu all night before leaving Xianyang, but no one knew what they talked about.

At that time, Ying Zichu's body could no longer hold on, and he never expected that he would die later.

In addition, Ying Zheng had left Xianyang, so no one could tell whether the order Ying Zichu gave to Wang He was intended to kill.

"Lord Wu'an, you are also wearing armor and entering the Xianyang Palace. Are you also going to rebel?!"

Queen Mother Huayang can no longer care about so many things now. She can only rely on hysteria to take the initiative.

She was panicked, completely panicked.

The voice that had been lingering in her ears and in her heart had disappeared without a trace, and she knew what she was doing now.

But now that things have come to this, how can we just retreat?

Either he had to bite the bullet and go ahead, fight for the position of prime minister for Mi Chen, and let himself return to the front of the stage again.

Or he could find an excuse to retreat now and wait to be imprisoned when Ying Zheng returns.

Whether Queen Dowager Huayang voluntarily withdraws or loses everything, the result will be imprisonment. So what reason is there not to fight?

"When I left Xianyang, the Heavenly Emperor specifically allowed me to wear armor and enter the palace. Could it be that the Queen Mother doesn't even recognize the Heavenly Emperor's order?!"

Ever since Ying Zichu passed away, the title of Heavenly Emperor seemed to have really become his. At least in the entire Qin State, no one dared to call Ying Zichu the former king.

Just as Queen Dowager Huayang thought, Wang He indeed used Ying Zichu to block the knife.

No one knows what happened that night, and no one knows what kind of orders Ying Zichu gave to Wang He.

Queen Mother Huayang only felt a chill on her neck, as if it would no longer belong to her in the next second.

As mentioned before, no one knows what Ying Zichu and Wang He talked about, and no one knows whether there was any so-called "clearing the court" involved!

The Queen Mother Huayang did not dare to gamble, nor could she gamble.

Even if Ying Zheng killed Wang He in the future, it would not matter. She would be gone by then. Even if Wang He was cut into pieces, it would not matter much to her.

Being submissive in one's heart does not mean being submissive in appearance. One must still maintain the face that should be maintained.

"Since the Emperor has given me the order, I will naturally not pursue the matter any further. But these two, they dared to enter the Xianyang Palace in armor despite having received the Emperor's order!"

The Queen Mother Huayang knew that it was impossible to hold Wang He accountable for wearing armor, so she transferred the conflict to Meng Ao and Cai Ze.

Wang He had the so-called oral order from the Emperor of Heaven, but these two did not!

Wang He naturally wouldn't address the issues surrounding Meng Ao and Cai Ze. Instead, he frowned and questioned, "Why did the Queen Mother summon all the ministers to the Xianyang Palace? The Emperor is away, and she's entrusted Xianyang to the Queen Mother?"

The Queen Mother Huayang was speechless for a moment. She originally wanted to deal with Meng Ao and Cai Ze, but she ignored herself.

Compared to what she did, wearing armor and going to the palace was nothing.

Not to mention that Ying Zichu did not allow anyone to interfere with Ying Zheng, and anyone here happened to include the Queen Mother Huayang.

Whether administering on behalf of the emperor or administering in court, the two combined are no different from rebellion.

If there is a handwritten edict from the emperor, that would be fine. If not, then the Queen Mother Huayang will definitely not be able to escape the label of being a political disruptor.

"Ai, ai..." Queen Dowager Huayang couldn't come up with anything to refute for a while. She just shouted twice and then fell silent.

Seeing this, Mi Chen no longer expected to be the so-called prime minister. He only asked the Queen Mother Huayang to push this matter away. No matter who it was pushed to, as long as it was pushed away completely, then there would still be a chance to survive.
