Chapter 298: Ying Zheng Takes Power
Announce Dapeng’s identity?
This... Chu Yian had never thought about it.
There are many concerns, the biggest one being that it is easy to be labeled as something, to be questioned, and even more likely to be tied up and burned.
She blinked and laughed awkwardly: "This, big brother, if you do it..."
She pointed to the sky: "Then I dare."
If you didn't do it, don't expect her to dare to say it while she is alive.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu had no expression on his face. He rolled up the book and knocked her on the head: "Don't talk nonsense."
Chu Yian said "oh" and looked at it with a little regret.
Qin Huaishu was helpless: "Go on."
Chu Yian nodded. Speaking of Ba Qing just now reminded her of a joke.
She leaned in front of the Qin Huai Book and whispered, "My son, did you know? There are rumors that Ba Qing and Ying Zheng are having an affair, and some even wrote in a book that they were in love."
"But when Ying Zheng met Ba Qing, she was already in her sixties. I'm wondering about something."
"I wonder what kind of alluring love story future generations will create for you. I really want to see it."
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu's mouth twitched. He was powerless to ask Chu Yian to change his address.
But how can he influence how future generations write about "A Love So Beautiful"?
We can only let them go.
You can't just make up your own stories to avoid being made up by others.
Fearing that Chu Yian would go off topic, Qin Huaishu brought the subject back: "Let's continue."
Chu Yian said "oh" and sat back down.
Lu Buwei found Ba Qing, who provided him with a lot of money and allowed him to open a school.
While Lu Buwei was busy setting up schools and promoting civilization, Ying Zheng's biological mother, Zhao Ji, really didn't like dealing with state affairs and didn't like listening to ministers' discussions. After falling seriously ill, she was sent to Liangshan by Ying Zheng to recuperate.
A few days later, Lu Buwei also came. The two of them had a passionate night, and Zhao Ji became addicted to the feeling of being in heaven.
At first, she often asked Lu Buwei to go to Liangshan, and even wanted to marry him.
After hanging out with Zhao Ji for a while, Lu Buwei was frightened by her idea. Fearing that his affair with Zhao Ji would be exposed, he never dared to come to Zhao Ji again.
But Zhao Ji threatened him and he couldn't bear it, so he could only send someone to relieve Zhao Ji from the loneliness in the long night.
That person was Lao Ai.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Chu Yian supported his chin. If Lu Buwei knew that this gift would cause such a big trouble later, he probably would not have given Lao Ai to Zhao Ji when he married her.
Although Ying Zheng had not yet taken power, he would occasionally send Zhao Gao to secretly inquire about Zhao Ji's situation.
When he found out that she had a eunuch who had not been removed from her body, his face looked very unhappy, but he didn't say anything.
During the Warring States Period, people were unrestrained and there were not so many restrictions on women.
Even if she was the mother of a country, it was common for her to remarry after the king's death or have an affair with a minister.
People are not so harsh about this matter.
Being married and having children will not be an obstacle for them to remarry. Many men even prefer to marry women who have given birth to children because they can raise them easily.
So Ying Zheng was considerate of his mother.
But he couldn't understand why Zhao Ji promoted Lao Ai and even gave birth to a child for him because she doted on him?
She got pregnant again soon after giving birth? She gave birth to another child.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu's hand trembled as he wrote, and his expression was a little indescribable.
He is not a pedantic person. He thinks it is okay for a wife to remarry or do something else after her husband dies.
The dead are gone, and the living must always plan for themselves.
But Zhao Ji...
Although Queen Dowager Xuan gave birth to two sons for King Yiqiu, she was determined to destroy Yiqiu. The situation was tense, and she had no choice but to make the decision.
Zhao Ji simply enjoyed the pleasure of sex.
Even if you really enjoy it, it's just a toy, so just keep it. Why would you give birth to a child for someone like that?
And gave birth to two children in a row?
For the first time, a hint of disgust flashed in Qin Huaishu's eyes.
Chu Yian was amused and continued talking.
Ying Zheng was so angry at Zhao Ji that his head hurt, but he didn't know how to deal with the matter.
It’s not appropriate to discuss it with anyone, and it’s too embarrassing to even bring it up.
I can't tell people that my mother gave birth to two children. What should I do?
Even if Lao Ai was killed, Zhao Ji would still find someone else.
However, this is not the most explosive thing, something even more explosive is coming.
Chu Yian coughed, his voice faint.
Little Zhao Gao hurried back to Xianyang and brought another piece of news to Ying Zheng.
Zhao Ji and Lao Ai agreed that after the King of Qin died, Lao Ai's son would be made the new King of Qin.
That's right, in order to let Lao Ai's son become the King of Qin, she actually wanted to kill her own son Ying Zheng.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Is royal blood so easily confused?
Just change it if you want? Ying Zheng's father has been dead for many years, this child can't be said to be Ying Yiren, right?
How can someone who is not of the Ying family's bloodline inherit the Ying family's kingdom and throne?
Not to mention Qin Huaishu was speechless, even Ying Zheng was so angry that he laughed. For those two bastards, his mother wanted to kill him.
He didn't know whether to be angry or sad.
But it didn't take long for Zhao Ji to start paving the way for Lao Ai and the child.
Not only did she confer the title of nobility on Lao Ai, she also required Ying Zheng to call Lao Ai her fake father.
He also served as regent on behalf of the Queen Mother in the name of his adopted father.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qin Huaishu has seen many ups and downs, but at this moment I just want to say that his knowledge is still too shallow.
Just because a man with no ability wins the favor of the Queen Mother in bed, his status and position will suddenly rise above that of King Ying Zheng?
Put yourself in Ying Zheng's perspective. My family is rich and powerful. My father died, and my mother found a strange man without telling the whole family. She also gave birth to two children with this strange man.
Then he told me that I should call him my fake father and let him manage all the family property from now on.
She was also plotting to kill me behind my back and give all the family property to those two sons and this wild man.
Qin Huaishu put down his pen and felt like laughing in anger.
Ying Zheng was too tolerant. It was inconvenient for him to do things without power in his hands.
If any empress dowager dared to do this now, she would have been sent to an unknown place for life imprisonment, and no one would even know she died.
However, Zhao Ji had done this, and she had completely offended Ying Zheng.
Not only did he offend Ying Zheng to death, but he also offended Lu Buwei to death.
He just wanted to give her a male companion, who knew it would turn out like this?
He was the second father and Lao Ai was the fake father.
He was Marquis Wenxin, and Lao Ai was Marquis Changxin.
He was the prime minister and regent, and Lao Ai acted as regent on behalf of the queen mother.
Who are you insulting?
Why does Ying Zheng have so many fathers?
But he couldn't do anything about Lao Ai, so he began to plan to let Ying Zheng take power.
It just so happened that Ying Zheng was getting older and was about to reach the age of coming of age.
But before Lu Buwei could take any action, Zhao Ji used his neglect of state affairs as an excuse to take back his power to handle state affairs and give it to Lao Ai.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Aware of the chaos in Qin, the six states in Shandong began to support Lao Ai and wanted to kill Lu Buwei.
Even if Lu Buwei knew, it would be difficult for him to deal with it, because the other party was Ying Zheng's biological mother after all.
As expected, Lao Ai wanted to kill Ying Zheng before his coming-of-age ceremony, but was captured by Ying Zheng instead.
He was eventually torn to pieces by chariots, and Queen Mother Zhao Ji took back her power to handle state affairs and was confined to the cold palace and not allowed to leave.
The two children born to Zhao Ji and Lao Ai also died.
The matter came to an end here, but Lu Buwei felt very uneasy.
The Lao Ai incident was caused by him. If it weren't for him, so many things that happened later wouldn't have happened.
This incident caused Ying Zheng to have a grudge against him, and Lu Buwei was eventually dismissed from his position as prime minister, but retained his title of marquis and left Xianyang.
When the news spread, envoys from the six states in Shandong vied to visit him, but they made fun of his affair with Zhao Ji, and the news reached Ying Zheng's ears.
Ying Zheng sent a letter to scold him, and then asked him to move his family to Bashu.
Before the messenger who delivered the letter left, Lu Buwei committed suicide, ending his eventful life.
Lu Buwei's death is somewhat regrettable, but what is more regrettable than his death is the reason why he was dismissed from the position of prime minister.
