He was so anxious that he threw Queen Mother Xia out before he could even say a few words, as if telling Ying Zheng that he was just trying to pass the blame.
In addition, Ying Zheng's distant words made the Queen Mother Huayang, who originally wanted to call Ying Zheng "Zheng'er", change her words and call him "Son of Heaven".
Meng Ao and the others naturally also reported the matter of Queen Mother Xia, otherwise the banquet would not have ended so early.
But no matter how you look at it, Queen Dowager Huayang was more at fault.
Without the order of the King of Qin, they dared to hold a private court meeting. Even if Meng Ao and Cai Ze received the oral order to assist in the administration, they only dared to discuss state affairs with court officials in private in their own residences.
Who dares to directly use the Xianyang Palace, and who dares to cross the line that cannot be crossed?
But the Queen Mother Huayang did it. She summoned all the court officials and held a small court meeting in the Xianyang Palace, sitting on the Qin King's chair!
Even when Meng Ao and Cai Ze were handling government affairs, they would not dare to ignore a person of the same level. After all, this was to prove to themselves that they had no other thoughts.
But the Queen Dowager Huayang was different. With her status, even the Queen Dowager Xia could not be on the same level as her. Even if Zhao Ji had not "passed away", she could not compare with the Queen Dowager Huayang.
The difference in status meant that Queen Dowager Huayang could not do anything out of line. Even if there was a precedent of queen dowagers interfering in politics in the Qin State, Queen Dowager Huayang could not follow suit.
Ying Zheng was not like those emperors who had no power when they first ascended the throne. He ascended the throne with supreme power, and the entire Qin State should have trembled under him.
No one can act tyrannically over Ying Zheng, and no one can make any decisions for him before he nods.
Since the Queen Mother Huayang had violated a taboo and became the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys, it was not so easy for her to shirk her responsibility.
Besides, there is no need to say who has greater power and deterrence between Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia.
Only if the thing you kill is strong enough can you scare away those extremely stupid monkeys.
Even after seeing the power of Ying Zheng, there are still many people who overestimate their own abilities and still have thoughts that they shouldn't have. This is their limitation.
"I will naturally deal with Empress Dowager Xia's matter. But right now, the Empress Dowager should answer whatever I ask. I don't want to hear useless things."
It seemed that Chen Xuan's consciousness influenced Ying Zheng, making Ying Zheng completely cruel to Queen Dowager Huayang.
After all, this is not a trivial matter. It is a manifestation of interference in politics, and it is a naked manifestation at that.
If Ying Zheng did not deal with it, it would be equivalent to not taking Ying Zichu's words to heart. How could he expect others to take Ying Zichu to heart then?
Not to mention that Ying Zheng risked backlash yesterday by establishing Ying Zichu as the Black Emperor.
If he were to reject the favor Ying Zichu gave him when he returned to heaven, then the Black Emperor Ying Zichu he established would be even more of a joke.
Since she didn't want to become a laughing stock, the Queen Mother Huayang had to take ruthless action to let everyone understand that although Ying Zheng was only a thirteen-year-old boy, he should not be underestimated by anyone.
Just as Chen Xuan told him, he now wanted to show his sharpest side. He did not want to possess any kindness or righteousness.
For this chaotic world, only a state that is extremely cruel and violent to the point of fear for the world can end it and unify it.
And Chen Xuan naturally couldn't let Ying Zheng become violent, so he just used the power of heaven and earth to add a layer of mystery to Ying Zheng to replace the violent nature.
The Queen Mother Huayang was a little overwhelmed. She never expected that Ying Zheng would not play by the rules. It seemed that he had set his sights on her and wanted to kill her.
As soon as this thought appeared, it was suppressed by Queen Dowager Huayang. She would not believe it, and it was impossible for her to believe it. Even if she was deceiving herself, she could not believe that she was going to be liquidated.
"I have been fine these days." The Queen Mother Huayang's voice was trembling a little. It was an uncontrollable instinct.
She now felt as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, staring at it intently, as if her head and body would be torn apart in the next second.
Uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
It was this discomfort that made Queen Dowager Huayang repeat the lie again and again, deceiving Ying Zheng and herself.
"As long as you're well." Ying Zheng had already taken off his crown, his handsome face etched with a stern expression. "I just don't know if the Queen Mother means "well-behaved" or not."
Lies can no longer deceive me, and the hints in my heart can't withstand such power.
The Queen Mother Huayang was instantly overwhelmed by the power of Ying Zheng and lost the opportunity to push it to others. She sat on the bed in a daze, looking at Ying Zheng with lifeless eyes.
"If there is nothing important happening next time, Queen Mother, just stay here. There is no need to go out by yourself."
Ying Zheng didn't ask about the Queen Mother Huayang's current condition. After all, she was the one who loved him the most in the past, and she couldn't say many harsh words now. Besides, she was also his grandmother, so he could only punish her with house arrest.
It is called house arrest, but in fact it is solitary confinement.
Although the palace is huge, there will come a day when you will see everything and you will get tired of it.
The Queen Mother Huayang just sat there in a daze, as if she hadn't heard anything, and nodded foolishly.
Ying Zheng also knew that Chen Xuan must have been behind this. After all, if the Queen Mother Huayang started crying, it would not end well.
With a slight sigh, Ying Zheng no longer looked at Queen Dowager Huayang. No matter what would happen in the future, this was the only way Ying Zheng could deal with Queen Dowager Huayang.
After all, if you do something you shouldn't do, you have to bear the consequences.
