"The news is back, Your Majesty."
"Zhao Chu and Lu Buwei didn't fight after all."
The breeze is gentle.
The warm sea breeze blows in the tall attic pavilion, and the chessboard is filled with black and white.
In front of the jade-carved chess board, a tall middle-aged man was talking to a Confucian scholar wearing a black and white robe.
The middle-aged man has a calm posture and is wearing a gilt blue dragon robe. The sleeves of the thick robe are densely embroidered with a picture of Clouds and Seas. On his white wrist, he wears a gold and white jade bracelet.
His eyes were calm, and he glanced at the chessboard. His attitude was obviously indifferent, but in his movements, he carried a kind of majesty without anger.
Holding the black Luo Zi, Qi Wangjian chopped down the Confucian scholar's unformed dragon in the air, and spoke: "This is what was expected. Although King Qin Zhuangxiang died, the national power of Qin was under the control of Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang. Although it is debilitating, it is not fatal.”
"More than 400,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized to arrive at the border, and there were even Qi refiners and alchemists accompanying them... Oh, King Chu Kaolie and King Zhao Xiaocheng are not fools. How could they leak out of the rear and not defend it, but attack Qin instead? Yes? This time Zhao and Chu took advantage of the time when the prince came to the throne to attack, but it was just a demonstration."
Facing Qi Wangjian's words, the black and white Confucian scholar opposite, Tian Sheng, the Jimo doctor who is the highest military and political officer in the Jimo region of Daqi, also nodded slightly.
They also know the current situation of Qin very clearly.
The power of the Empress Dowager Huayang is deeply rooted. Since the beginning of the Empress Dowager era, the Mi family has been in power. Even King Zhuangxiang of Qin only became the king of Qin after he recognized the Empress Dowager Mrs. Huayang as his mother. .
Coupled with the power team composed of Lu Buwei and the current Queen Mother Zhao Ji of the Qin Dynasty, although the current Qin State has weakened due to the conflict between the two after the death of King Qin Zhuangxiang, the foundation is still there, and it is not a good offensive at all. opportunity.
"Your Majesty, in five days it will be the day that Qin's eldest son, Ying Zheng, takes over the throne. Qin has already sent an invitation. Do we want to send envoys there?" Jimo doctor Tian Sheng asked respectfully.
"This so-called Ying Zheng is just a puppet at the age of thirteen. Now the Qin State is under the control of Lu Buwei and Mrs. Huayang," Qi Wangjian said calmly: "Go and see, even if it is Let’s go through the motions and take a look at what kind of jokes this so-called Ying Zheng can make during the enthronement ceremony.”
"This time, with the help of Zhao and Chu's attacks, it took two months to take the throne. At this ceremony, Gu really wants to see how Lu Buwei can continue to suppress him."
Jimo doctor Tian Sheng nodded lightly: "I obey the king's instructions."
Qi Wangjian smiled and nodded. A black stone fell, and the situation on the chessboard suddenly changed. Several white stones were swallowed by him.
"I have pity on this Ying Zheng. He was the son of a proton when he was young. When King Qin Zhuangxiang fled back to Qin, he didn't have time to take him away. In just two or three years after returning to Qin, he was controlled as a puppet... ..”
The calm voice echoed on the shores of the East China Sea.
In response to Qin's invitation, King Jian of Qi sent envoys to Qin, intending to attend casually purely from the perspective of etiquette.
Not only King Jian of Qi, but the other five countries, Zhao, Chu, Yan, Han, and Wei, were also invited to send envoys.
Their purpose was basically the same as that of King Jian of Qi. They planned to send envoys to Xianyang to watch the jokes and see what interesting things Ying Zheng could cause during the so-called enthronement ceremony.
By the way, let’s take a look at how this generation of Xiao Qin kings was suppressed by Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Huayang...
The storm is raging.
The tide is rolling.
As time passed, the entire Qin Dynasty was filled with joyous cheers. The city began to be decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the wide and thick city walls tens of meters high were washed with clean water.
Throughout the Qin Dynasty, countless people were celebrating with their alchemists and praying for the eldest son Zizheng who was about to ascend the throne.
And under this seemingly calm and peaceful lake, there is an unimaginable huge undercurrent hidden...
In fact, facing the upcoming enthronement ceremony in five days, Ying Zheng also has a bit of a headache.
Although the second wonder ruins of the Alchemy Ceremony have now been buried in the earth, future generations do not know what the situation will be. There seems to be a slight fluctuation in the ruins tower.
But this wave of fluctuation is too small, even smaller than the wave that Ding Qin Jian just made.
Looking at the few small elixirs that seemed to be nothing in the emerald green light in his mind, Ying Zheng felt quite helpless.
"It seems that someone has indeed discovered the ruins, but not many people seem to know about it..."
Feeling the obviously tense atmosphere around him, Ying Zheng gently rubbed his eyebrows.
Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet started, since the incident between Quanyang Jun and Mi Qing, both Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Huayang have obviously increased their surveillance on him, and even the number of spies around him has doubled.
It was obvious that the level of vigilance towards him was much higher.
However, although Ying Zheng was a little helpless about this kind of thing, he did not regret it.
Under the circumstances at that time, he had to fight back. Although he wanted to hide his clumsiness and grow in secret, he was not completely pretending to be a dead pig. He had to fight back against the opponent's successive provocations, but he just had to control the degree... ..
Reading the bamboo slips in his hand gently, Ying Zheng gently rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.
"It is a good thing to take the throne. If you take the throne, you will be able to control more of the country's destiny and protect larger monuments..."
"But I guess this enthronement ceremony will not go through smoothly..."
"I don't know what Lu Buwei and Queen Huayang are planning secretly..."
"Just relying on the Ding Qin Sword is probably not enough. We still need to speed up the release of the Reflection Pill..."
While rubbing his eyebrows, Ying Zheng was thinking.
And just when Ying Zheng was thinking about finding a way to speed up the reflection of the second ruins, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a pretty maid spoke respectfully.
"Your Highness."
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister of the State, please see me."
