Chapter 73: Xianyang Incident, Ying Zichu is critically ill



Xianyang is also gloomy today.

There were no dark clouds, but the sky suddenly became overcast, the sun looked gray, and the sky was also gray.

The morning court in Xianyang Palace still started.

In fact, there is nothing else to worry about. After all, Ying Zichu has become the king of the entire Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's power was too strong, and since he was not in Xianyang at the moment, everyone's admiration for Ying Zheng shifted to Ying Zichu.

Most of the famous and wealthy nobles in Xianyang knelt down, at least they did not openly oppose Ying Zichu.

The Empress Dowager Huayang in the harem no longer cared about state affairs, or rather, she had never cared about state affairs.

Ying Zheng didn't know what method he used to make the Queen Mother Huayang focus all her attention on him and no longer ask about anything else.

Although Ying Zheng is not in Xianyang now, Cheng Jiao is still there. Although he is not as smart and likable as Ying Zheng, he still makes the Queen Mother Huayang happy.

Today's morning court was the same as usual, yet it seemed a little different.

When it was time to leave the court, things got chaotic.

Ying Zichu looked at the blood in his palm in confusion, and felt his eyes go dark, as if he was about to fall asleep.

He heard many voices, including those of Meng Ao, Lu Buwei, and his ministers, the sound of the wind, the sound of footsteps, the voice of his father, King Xiaowen of Qin, and the voices of countless previous kings of the Qin Dynasty.

He was a little confused now, his mind was blank, as if he had lost his mind, sitting blankly on the throne.

Everyone in the court panicked, or had other thoughts in mind.

Crown Prince Ying Zheng is away now, and I don’t know what happened in Xianyang City. Maybe... the situation will change?

Although Lu Buwei shouted loudly and rushed forward quickly, he could not hide the joy in his eyes.

If Ying Zheng was in Xianyang, he might not have any other thoughts, but now Ying Zheng is not here, not here!

Ever since Ying Zichu's health grew weaker, he had been in control of most of the government affairs. Although he could not get any position in the army, at least half of the people in Xianyang were on his side, Lu Buwei!

In addition, the second prince Cheng Jiao was in Xianyang. He only needed to make a move, just a move, and he could be on par with the four princes of the Warring States Period and become a feudal lord with three thousand retainers.

He will become a legend, a legend who changes his class.

However, what needs to be confirmed now is Ying Zichu's physical condition. If he really can't hold on, then no one can shake Lu Buwei's position.

Even if Meng Ao is watching from the side, even if Meng Que is accompanying Ying Zichu, even if the Queen Mother Huayang still holds considerable power.

But he still had confidence, confidence that he could push the second son Cheng Jiao forward.

After all, compared with Ying Zheng, who has been away for a long time and is already old, Cheng Jiao may be more suitable for Zhao Ji.

Ying Zichu was still a little drowsy, but his consciousness had returned a little. His blurry eyes looked ahead, where there were countless phantoms rushing towards him, but they were all stopped by Meng Ao.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Is this Meng Que's voice?

Ying Zichu turned his head and looked at Meng Que who was calling him from the side. Suddenly he remembered something and ordered, "Meng Que, let the ministers disperse. Let Meng Ao, Lu Buwei, and Cai Ze go into the palace to discuss matters."

Although Ying Zichu's voice was much weaker due to his weakness, Meng Que still heard it clearly.

Upon hearing the order, Meng Que hurriedly stood up and shouted, "The king has ordered the court to be dismissed! Summon Minister Meng, Prime Minister Lu, and Lord Gangcheng to the palace to discuss matters!"

After all, he was a soldier, and with a roar he suppressed the voices in the court.

Although these ministers had other thoughts, Ying Zichu seemed to still be conscious and showed no signs of dying soon, so they could only bow and retreat.

Ying Zichu slowly stood up, and Meng Que helped him up. Meng Ao and Lu Buwei followed Ying Zichu and slowly walked towards the palace.

As for Cai Ze, he was outside the palace.

Since he retired, he has never entered the palace again except for the time when Ying Zheng was here a while ago.

Now that Ying Zichu wants to summon him to the court, it will naturally take some time.

Ying Zheng's carriage had already traveled for some distance.

This journey made Ying Zheng increasingly clear that Li Si and Han Fei were the people he was looking for.

Ying Zheng was not short of so-called military generals. The Meng family was full of brave men. Wang Jian was now dazzling beyond words. Meng Ao and Wang He had not retreated yet and had not even shown any signs of fatigue. In addition, there was Li Xin who was specially recommended by Chen Xuan.

The current Qin Dynasty has no shortage of soldiers and generals, but it lacks counselors and strategists.

After all, the Qin Dynasty never produces talents, but its court accepts talents.

The Qin Dynasty never discriminates against anyone of any status. As long as it is beneficial to the Qin Dynasty, even slaves will be used by you.

Chen Xuan was originally lying in the sky, slowly moving as Ying Zheng's carriage moved.

But now he suddenly felt a little uneasy, or even panicked.

The place of panic was Xianyang.

Chen Xuan looked up, he seemed to see through everything.

The entire Daqin is Chen Xuan's domain, a place that Chen Xuan can see at a glance and hear with his ears.

There seems to be a bit of panic in Xianyang now, and the source of the panic seems to be the Xianyang Palace.

The sick dragon hovering above Ying Zichu's head seemed to have repeated the same fate as its predecessor, and was dying, just like King Xiaowen of Qin.

Is this going to kill me?

Chen Xuan probably knew it, but what did Ying Zichu's death have to do with him? Why did he feel a little panicked?

After all, if Ying Zichu had not died, Ying Zheng would not have been able to succeed to the throne, would not have been able to fulfill the motto on the meteorite, and would not have been able to complete the mission of unification.
