"Hey, sister, please stop fighting."
Holding her slightly red and swollen cheek, Mi Chen couldn't help but take a breath at the pain.
"Sister, I'm already over forty years old, I'm a father now, and I'm still the majestic Lord Qin Yangquan. Why are you still slapping me like you did when you were a child?"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes gleamed, and she released the majesty she had accumulated over the years. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Mi Chen. She rolled up her sleeves and took two steps closer to him: "You are eighty years old. I I’m also Sister You. What’s more, I’m still the Queen Mother of Qin, and I’m your king.”
"You cursed me to death. Are you saying that as your sister, I can't beat you, or as the Queen Mother of Huayang?"
Mi Chen shrank his neck and quickly took two steps back, fearing that Queen Mother Huayang would really slap him again.
Ever since she was little, her sister has been very strong, and when she married into the Qin Kingdom, she even took her younger self with her.
Moreover, my sister's hands are very strong, and ordinary men may not be as strong as her when she slaps him.
However, it is thanks to his sister that he can bring him the prosperous and wealthy life he has today. It would be better if he could control some real power in the Qin State.
It's a pity that the ungrateful Ying Zichu still didn't believe in the Chu people after all.
And when Ying Zichu died, if her sister hadn't stepped forward to stabilize people's hearts, the Chu family might not be as silent as it is now, but would be completely in chaos.
"Tell me what's going on."
Looking at Mi Chen who was hiding far away, Queen Mother Huayang took a deep breath, sat back in her seat, calmed down her mood, and said to Mi Chen.
She still knows a lot about her younger brother. Although he is a bit naughty, he still looks like a playboy now that he is the eldest father, which is sad, but there is nothing evil about him.
Therefore, there must be a reason why Mi Chen said these disrespectful words today.
Yangquan Jun Michen walked back with great dignity and told a series of rumors that had been circulating in the market in recent days.
"From the king to Zhao Ji, to my sister and Queen Mother Xia, and even to Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Zong Zhengling Ying Mu and others, there are many rumors related to it."
Mi Chen raised her head and glanced at the Queen Mother Huayang. Seeing that the Queen Mother Huayang's eyes were still sharp, she lowered her head in fear and did not dare to look at her.
"Anyway, I was worried that this rumor was true, so I went to the palace to see my sister. I didn't expect that my sister was not dead."
Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Mi Chen's dandy expression expressionlessly, resisting the urge to hit him directly on the head with the crutch in her hand, and took deep breaths continuously.
A good word of care for her body came out of this bastard's mouth but it changed its taste, as if he was regretting that she was not dead.
Sighing, Queen Mother Huayang finally did not wave the cane, but lowered her head in thought. After a while, Queen Mother Huayang's eyes flashed and she looked at Mi Chen.
"Do you see anything in this?"
Queen Mother Huayang's phoenix eyes fell on Mi Chen, and her sharp gaze made Mi Chen feel uncomfortable.
"Of course there are still some!"
"Brother, I have investigated the identities of these people who spread rumors. Although they changed into ordinary people's clothes, some people still recognized that these people are the disciples of Changxin Hou Lao'ai." Mi Chen talked eloquently, with his head raised high. , at this moment he had forgotten his previous embarrassment, and said excitedly, "The man behind the rumors must be Changxin Hou Lao'ai."
The more Mi Chen spoke, the more excited he became. He raised his neck as if he had seen through some huge conspiracy. He looked proud, but unexpectedly, he received a burst of scolding from the Queen Mother Huayang.
"madness!"
Queen Mother Huayang gave a low drink, a little angry at Mi Chen.
Mi Chen could find out that it was Lao Ai's retainers who were spreading rumors, couldn't Ying Zheng find out?
Is it true that Luo Wang is a vegetarian?
What's more, Luo Wang has just changed his leader, and it's the time when the new official takes office and needs to establish merit and prestige. How can he easily let go of these disciples of Lao Ai?
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Queen Mother Huayang's eyes. Although she was not sure yet, she already had a guess.
I heard that when Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji were furious yesterday, the new leader of Luo Wang went to the palace to pay a visit, and then the anger of Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji dissipated a lot.
Oh, this machine can actually come up with such a plan, his thinking is so clear, he is indeed a wonderful person.
only……
Queen Mother Huayang sighed quietly, and then couldn't help coughing violently.
Mi Chen hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Empress Dowager Huayang's back, her face full of sorrow.
"Let Mi Qi and Mi Dian take the initiative to meet the king, and then let Mi Hua enter the palace to stay with me, an old woman who has only a few years to live."
Mi Chen couldn't help but be stunned by the words of Queen Mother Huayang. She subconsciously wanted to raise objections, but the Queen Mother Huayang glared at her and swallowed the objections in her throat.
"Go down."
Queen Mother Huayang waved her hand, signaling Mi Chen to step back.
Mi Chen hesitated to speak, but finally left Huayang Palace without raising any objection.
Looking at Mi Chen's leaving back, maybe she has never really participated in these intrigues and just has fun all day long. Mi Chen's body is maintained quite well, unlike her... Just a few years old, Mi Chen is already full. Head with beautiful hair.
Queen Mother Huayang stroked her pale hair, and her wrinkled hand slid over a strand of hair. A few soft white hairs fell into the palm of Queen Mother Huayang's hand with a gentle touch.
"I'm really old." Queen Mother Huayang looked at the white hair in her palms and smiled bitterly.
In fact, she knew that Mi Chen wanted to object to her taking the initiative to join Ying Zheng.
The reason why Queen Mother Huayang was able to stabilize the Chu family after the death of Ying Zichu was because she accurately analyzed the Chu family's future and bright future for everyone in the Chu family.
Ying Zheng, who had no one to help him, wanted to take charge, so the best way was to get close to the Chu clan.
The Chu Clan was deeply entrenched within the Qin State, and as she was Ying Zheng's great-grandmother, she could be regarded as a relative of Ying Zheng. The Chu Clan naturally became the greatest support to Ying Zheng's pro-government.
However, according to Queen Mother Huayang's expectations, it was Ying Zheng who took the initiative to ask her for help.
But no one would have thought that when Ying Zheng ventured into Korea to seek talents, he actually found a great talent.
Not to mention the ingenious papermaking and printing techniques, whether it was capturing the four cities of Nanyang, South Korea, or persuading Wang Yan to join the Yingzheng government, it was enough to demonstrate Zhang Ji's talents.
In particular, he persuaded Wang Ye to join Ying Zheng, which gave Ying Zheng a powerful boost, and indirectly led to Meng Ao's decision to lead the Meng family to stand up for Ying Zheng.
To be honest, with the support of the two giants of the military and his 400,000 border troops and 200,000 Lantian camp soldiers, Ying Zheng did not need the help of the Chu clan at all. It was only a matter of means and time to bring down Lu Buwei.
In Mi Chen's view, if the Chu clan actively surrendered, Ying Zheng would never attach too much importance to the Chu clan. This would not be in the interests of the Chu clan.
What's more, the brothers Mi Qi and Mi Dian, the two most outstanding young people of the Chu clan, were directly asked to take the initiative to join Ying Zheng's army. It seemed that they also intended to let Mi Qi and Mi Dian's sister Mi Hua marry Ying Zheng.
This almost puts the entire Chu family on Ying Zheng alone!
The Queen Mother Huayang also understood that this behavior of directly betting all the treasure on Ying Zheng was not in line with the interests of the powerful and powerful people who put their eggs in two baskets.
Moreover, if you join Yingzheng in this way, the benefits you will get in return will not be much.
But Queen Mother Huayang was also a little helpless.
Ying Zheng's chances of winning are too great. As long as Ying Zheng doesn't take the initiative to die, and is backed by the two giants of Qin's military, as well as Qin's two generals and an army of 600,000, Ying Zheng can still be undefeated no matter how incompetent he is. .
If nothing else works, just like the late King Zhaoxiang, Lu Buwei will be forced to wait until the oil is exhausted before taking action.
What's more, since she met Ying Zheng who had just returned to the country, she already knew that this child was definitely not inferior to the Qianlong of the previous kings of Qin.
Therefore, even if the profit from buying Yingzheng's soaring stock is not much, the Queen Mother Huayang has no other choice.
The most important thing is...she is old.
If she is gone, can the Chu faction really continue to exist under the encroachment of other factions?
Who will protect this naive and dandy’s relatives and friends such as his younger brother Yangquan Jun Michen, nephews Mi Qi, Mi Dian and niece Mi Hua?
I hope that Ying Zheng will protect some people from the Chu family in the future for the sake of Chu family's full service and her thin face.
