In the palace of the eldest son of Xianyang, Ying Zheng finished his instructions and issued many orders, and gradually began to cultivate his cronies and develop his power in Da Qin.
And almost at the same time, something was happening in the Queen Mother's Palace, not far from the eldest son's palace where Ying Zheng was.
"That's unreasonable!"
"This is really unreasonable!"
In the luxurious palace, surrounded by pools of water, slender willow branches swayed in the breeze, and several early summer lotuses raised their green buds under the warm sunshine.
In the pavilion surrounded by beautiful scenery, Mrs. Huayang, the Queen Mother, one of the two major powers of the Qin Dynasty, is sitting here, holding an ancient bamboo slip in her hand and looking through it, sipping tea and admiring the scenery, with a happy posture.
Opposite her, sat a man about his age.
He wears a long robe, has gray temples, starry eyebrows and sharp eyes. His appearance is somewhat similar to that of Queen Mother Huayang. Although he looks very old, he does not have the tiredness that an old man should have. Instead, he has an unsettling look. Extraordinary vitality and vitality.
If it weren't for the wrinkles and gray hairs on his face, if you just looked at him from behind, you would even think he was a man in his prime.
"Lu Buwei's actions this time are really too outrageous. Who in the Qin Dynasty doesn't know that Shangyang and Taiyuan are the territories of my Mi family?"
"But the two county governors that Lu Buwei sent this time actually directly replaced all the important officials in these two places with the cronies they brought!"
"It's so arrogant!"
"How could Ying Zheng dare to give Lu Buwei such power even though he hasn't ascended the throne yet? Could it be that he has really formed an alliance with Lu Buwei, an old fox?!"
The man said angrily, with a chilling look in his old eyes.
That's right!
This person is none other than the current Queen Mother Hua Yang’s brother, Quanyang Jun, Mi Chen!
As the second-in-command of one of the two major forces in Da Qin, Quan Yangjun has encountered two quite angry things in the past few days!
Just about two days ago, the two places he controlled, Shangyang and Taiyuan, welcomed new county governors.
The people who came were none other than two people from Lu Buwei's family.
Quanyang Jun actually knew about this matter a long time ago, but he didn't take it to heart at the time. He felt that even with Ying Zheng's help, it was nothing at all, even if Lu Buwei's power as prime minister could be It's only a matter of time before they parachute into the county guard and be ignored by them.
After all, the Mi family has controlled Shangyang and Taiyuan for too long and will not give outsiders any room.
However, what Quanyang Jun didn't expect was that the old fox Lu Buwei had already planned for Shangyang and Taiyuan!
Before going to win over Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei secretly placed many chess pieces and laid many hidden lines in Taiyuan and Shangyang.
After waiting for Ying Zheng's order to be issued, almost all of these hidden chess pieces were lifted up!
One string of ten, ten strings of one hundred!
All kinds of evidence of corruption were used to arrest all the officials related to the Mi family in Shangyang and Taiyuan in almost one day!
Among them, the one who made Quanyang Jun the most angry was a man named Li Si!
It is simply arrogant and domineering to the extreme!
He directly single-handedly captured more than 60% of the evidence against Taiyuan officials!
Before he was exposed, Quan Yangjun never knew that there was such a bastard among his Taiyuan officials!
This man was only in his early thirties, and he seemed to have fled from Chu State. He had excellent calligraphy skills and was upright and upright. Lord Quanyang personally promoted him. He even remembered that he once spoke in front of many officials. I praised his calligraphy!
Unexpectedly, I turned around and bought it!
Even when faced with his questioning, just as a disciple of Lu Buwei, she dared to speak in front of him.
"Such treacherous ministers are causing great harm to the country and the people! The evidence is conclusive, and everyone can punish them! I am a disciple of Confucianism, how can I compromise at will?"
"What's more, this is the order of the current Prime Minister of Great Qin! It is also the will of the eldest son of Great Qin, Zizheng. Who dares to refute it?"
With just one sentence, Quan Yangjun and the three corpse gods were so angry that they almost didn't pull out their swords and kill the guy on the spot!
"Too arrogant!"
"It's simply unscrupulous!"
Quanyang Jun said angrily, his eyes sparkling.
Opposite him, the Queen Mother, Mrs. Huayang, was quite indifferent, still enjoying tea and admiring the scenery, but the occasional cold light flashing in her eyes made it known that she was not so calm in her heart.
"This Lu Buwei is really brave."
"I really took Zheng'er's order and used it as a command arrow."
Quanyang Jun was sitting in his seat with a gloomy expression: "Is Zheng'er really in alliance with that old fox Lu Buwei?"
"If this is the case, although there won't be too many problems, it will also be a big trouble for our forces in the future."
"After all, in the past few days, spies have come to report that many of Lu Buwei's retainers often come in and out of the eldest son's palace."
Faced with her brother's inquiry, Queen Mother Huayang did not answer, but spoke calmly.
"Quanyang, your temper is still too impatient after all. You were impatient when you were young, but you haven't made any progress when you are old."
Hearing this, Quan Yangjun was speechless for a while.
"Eldest sister, is now the time to talk about this?"
Still no answer, Mrs. Huayang quietly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Didn't you say two things? What is the second thing?"
When the second thing was mentioned, Mr. Quanyang's expression gradually became more solemn, and he squinted his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"I recently heard about the news that Zhao and Chu seem to be planning to take advantage of Zheng'er's accession to the throne to launch an attack on Shangjun and Qianzhong County."
After hearing this, Queen Huayang's expression became slightly solemn, and she put down the tea cup.
"Is this serious?"
Quanyang Jun nodded, "Not only that, Lu Buwei seems to want to continue to compete for the right to send troops to expand his power layout in Qin."
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Queen Huayang began to think slowly. The maids and eunuchs around her quietly retreated, leaving only Lord Quanyang waiting beside her.
I don’t know how long it took, but Empress Huayang finally raised her head.
"This time regarding the right to dispatch troops from Zhao and Chu, it is destined that Lu Buwei cannot win it again."
"The last battle to destroy the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had already caused many military forces to lean towards Lu Buwei. The right to send troops this time must be in our hands."
Slowly putting down the tea cup in her hand, Queen Huayang looked at the eldest son's palace in the distance, with a slight coldness in her eyes.
"While taking power, I have a method that can also give Zheng'er a beating."
"My dear Zheng'er, you are really colluding with this Lu Buwei..."
