After Ying Zheng added his own words to the edict, he asked Ziyou to send the edict out and hand it to Lu Buwei. Although these people hold great power, which is a huge problem, as long as the people who caused the problem are gone, then the problem is not natural Gone.
Now that there is a legitimate edict and evidence, it is legal in terms of legal procedures. It is okay to let Luo Wang control these people, even if it means killing them, but for the stability of the Qin Dynasty, it is best to control them.
After Ziyou left Qinian Palace, he handed the edict in his hand to Black and White Xuanjian who followed secretly, and asked Black and White Xuanjian to hand it over to Lu Buwei, and then took the Six Swordsmen to take action. After Black and White Xuanjian left, Ziyou Then he returned to the palace and waited for his appointment tomorrow.
Zhao Ji sat in the hall nervously. Lao Ai did not come back just as Ziyou said. Tonight was also a sleepless night for Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, Yongcheng, the former capital of Qin, which was originally bustling with the arrival of Ying Zheng, became extremely serious at this moment.
Yongcheng is the site of the ancestral temple of the Qin State. Each generation of Qin kings was crowned in the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng. On both sides of a stone avenue, a black-armored Qin Imperial Guard stood every 5 steps, and the black black bird flag was flying. In the air, solemn bells resounded throughout the Qinian Palace. The people in Yongcheng looked at the Qinian Palace with serious faces. Their new king, the new king of the old Qin people, was about to be crowned and rule.
As a resonant bell rang, eight bronze trombones sounded their long and chilling sounds. Ying Zheng sat on the carriage and looked ahead. In front of him was the ancestral temple of the Qin State.
The ancestral temple of the Qin State is extremely grand. If you give a rough estimate, this ancestral hall can be said to be a smaller Zhangtai Palace. The whole body is black. From the princes and nobles to the common people in the Qin State, black is extremely respected. The Qin State's admiration for black originates from Duke Wen of Qin.
Once, Duke Wen of Qin once captured a black dragon when he went hunting. And this is the symbol of water virtue among the five elements. Therefore, the successive rulers of Qin believed that they were water virtues and respected water. And among the five elements, the symbol color of water is black. Therefore, people in Qin all admire black. From dressing to housing decoration, people like to use black, while the Zhou Dynasty advocated red, which is the virtue of fire.
A huge black bird pattern is carved on the floor of the altar outside the majestic ancestral hall, exuding the solemn atmosphere of Qin. Eight large cauldrons as tall as one person are filled with cattle, sheep and livestock.
Ziyou looked at these eight big tripods. They were the big tripods used by Dayu to suppress the Nine Provinces. When King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, he asked people to bring the nine tripods in front of the ancestral hall of the Zhou Dynasty back to Qin. One was to commemorate King Wu of Qin, and the other was to In order to prove that the destiny is in Qin, it is also a sign that Qin destroyed Zhou. However, on the way back, the boat holding the nine tripods encountered a storm, and one of them was lost and sank in Surabaya. What was lost was the Yongzhou Ding raised by King Wu of Qin. Because Yongzhou was the location of the Qin State, this made King Qin Zhaoxiang furious, but in the end he had no choice but to send people to salvage the Yongzhou Ding in Si River, but found nothing.
Placed on the incense table are the ancestors and ancestors of the ancestors of the Qin clan. Taichang and Da Zongzheng stood on both sides. They were responsible for the specific matters of Yingzheng's crowning. The Qin clan and the ministers and envoys from various countries who watched the ceremony Standing on both sides.
Ziyou and Gai Nie stood on Ying Zheng's carriage. One of them was wearing a white robe, and the other was wearing a Qin army armor, which represented literary and martial virtues. Ying Zheng was wearing a black royal robe with an empty waist. Zhao Ji was sitting in the sacrificial hall. Zhao Ji touched the seal of King Qin in her hand, her eyes full of worry. Although Ziyou told Zhao Ji in the morning that everything had been arranged, Zhao Ji was still uneasy.
After about the time of one stick of incense, the needle on the sundial pointed to the sixth hour. Taichang, one of the nine Qin ministers in charge of sacrifices, rang the bells on the altar in order.
The ceremony officially begins.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
With Tai Chang's voice resounding throughout the entire audience, Ying Zheng slowly stepped off the carriage. The two columns of forbidden soldiers raised their long swords to the ground, making a "ding" sound, and their movements were uniform. Then he put one hand on Ge and knelt down on one knee.
The ministers behind the imperial army and the nobles from the six countries who came to watch the ceremony all knelt down and saluted.
As Ying Zheng walked towards the altar, Ziyou and Gai Nie stood at the foot of the steps, facing the ministers and envoys from the six countries. Ying Zheng had to walk the rest of the way alone. A burst of melodious and solemn music sounded, and the zither and trumpets sounded. , the atmosphere is solemn.
The steps of the altar were very high. Ying Zheng walked on the steps step by step, his face extremely heavy. His mood was extremely excited at this time. The crowning moment he had been waiting for day and night had finally arrived. He could hear the whistling of the wind and the sun. The sound of chanting sacrificial texts is often heard.
The memorial text recited by Taichang is an article announcing the ancestors of the Ying family and the land of the emperor and queen. The content is probably about Ying Zheng's affairs and various actions from Ying Zheng's succession to the present. Taichang is also an old man, and he has nothing to do with the succession. I have done this once, so I am very skillful. Every sentence in the article is very consistent with Ying Zheng's pace, ensuring that Ying Zheng will finish reciting just in time when he gets on the altar.
Zhao Ji was invited out of the sacrificial hall by Da Zongzheng. Zhao Ji was Ying Zheng’s mother, and he was the only one who was most suitable to crown Ying Zheng with a sword. Da Zongzheng stood behind Zhao Ji without saying a word. The crowning was done by Tai Chang presides over it, but Da Zongzheng is more of a symbol, symbolizing that the entire Ying clan serves Ying Zheng.
Da Zongzheng was about sixty years old, his hair was all gray, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. Zhao Ji saluted Da Zongzheng, did not dare to say anything, stood up and walked out.
"Queen Mother, please remember that you are the Queen Mother of Qin." Da Zongzheng reminded softly with his eyes unchanged.
Zhao Ji seemed to be stimulated by this sound and met Da Zongzheng's eyes, but she avoided it the next moment and replied in a low voice.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for reminding me that Zhao Ji has repented."
"The matter between Empress Dowager Xuan and the Four Nobles must not happen again, and there must not be any more obstacles to Qin Guo's ambition to go east. I hope you can understand." Da Zongzheng said with narrowed eyes,
"Zhao Ji understands." Zhao Ji said. This was the second time she spoke to Da Zongzheng. The first time was when Ying Yiren came to Yongcheng to pay homage to his ancestors after he succeeded to the throne. At that time, although Yiren had already taken control of the court, he had no control over the court. Da Zongzheng, who was responsible for the sacrifices in the ancestral temple, was particularly respected. At that time, Zhao Ji knew that this Da Zongzheng was not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not be so respected by others.
"The king is about to ascend the altar. Please be prepared to crown the king." On the tray in Dazongzheng's hand were a hair crown, a windlass sword and the seal of King Qin.
Zhao Ji calmed down and walked out of the hall. At this time, Ying Zheng had also arrived at the altar. Taichang finished reciting the chant in his hand, turned his hands behind his back and began to preside over the crowning ceremony.
At this time, in a large courtyard in Yongcheng, Lao Ai was wearing a mask, armor, and a long sword at his waist. Below him, a large number of retainers wore white masks and held long swords in their hands, half-kneeling in front of Lao Ai. In front of him, listening to the bells in Qinian Palace, Lao Ai pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted
"Trouble!!!"
Following Lao Ai's shout, the diners below suddenly stood up and shouted
"Trouble!!"
Lao Ai took the lead and rushed out of the courtyard with the disciples and went straight to the Qinian Palace. Some of the disciples still had strong crossbows in their hands. This was the confidence that Lao Ai dared to rebel. Even the clan could only drink in hatred in front of dozens of strong crossbows. , the bows and arrows equipped with these powerful crossbows are the heavy armor arrows used by the Qin State to attack cities.
On the empty Yongcheng Street, Lao Ai and his disciples rushed towards the Qinian Palace with murderous intent. However, when they were less than five kilometers away from the Qinian Palace, they suddenly stopped. Wang Jian led a group of soldiers to stop them. In front of everyone in Lao'ai.
"Wang Jian! You didn't go to the border?" Lao Ai looked at Wang Jian and shouted unexpectedly.
"It's still too late for Marquis Changxin to surrender now." Wang Jian looked at Lao Ai while riding on his horse and said coldly.
"Surrender, why should I surrender? The Empress Dowager issued an edict that the current King of Qin is unjust and ordered me to abolish King Qin's government and establish a new king. If you get out of the way now and follow me into the Qinian Palace and capture Yingzheng, I can protect you. It's okay, if you want to stop me, you guys alone are nothing more than hitting an egg against a rock." Lao Ai raised the edict in his hand and shouted.
"Abolish the Qin king's government and establish a new king." The disciples raised their arms and shouted.
The retainers holding crossbows rushed to Lao Ai and aimed their crossbows at Wang Jian. Lao Ai's face was full of pride, so what if Wang Jian came back with someone, he had a powerful crossbow in his hand, and he was not worried about Wang Jian's hundred In the battle against armor-piercing soldiers, it was Li Mu of Zhao who personally led the Wuling cavalry to attack Qin. The only thing Qin could fight against was Wang Jian's armor-piercing soldiers of 100 battles. Now the armor-piercing soldiers of 100 battles should be at the border.
Just before Lao Ai's smile disappeared, dozens of bows and arrows were shot from all directions, immediately killing all the retainers holding crossbows. With a killing sound, Wang Jian's armor-piercing soldiers came from all directions, dozens of The soldier climbed up to the roof, holding a crossbow and aiming it at the doorman below.
Seeing the soldiers rushing from all directions, Lao Ai and his disciples fell into chaos. Seeing the cold and cold arrows retreating continuously, everyone knew that as long as the soldiers let go of their hands at such a close distance, they would definitely die.
The disciples, look at me and you, I don’t know what to do for a moment. Lao Ai looked at Wang Jian with a gloomy face. He didn’t expect that Ying Zheng actually arranged for Wang Jian, but he didn’t want to surrender, because he still had this Xianyang's trump card, as long as Mr. Wei can provide timely support, people like Wang Jian can't stop him.
"Kill!!!" Lao Ai shouted.
The diners looked at each other and shouted "Kill!!"
They had no way out and could only follow Lao Ai's path to the dark side.
At this time in Xianyang, Mr. Wei and Lao Ai's retainers were followed by the army. They had surrounded the entire Xianyang. What they had to do now was to capture Xianyang Palace and Wenxinhou Mansion.
"I will lead people to surround Marquis Wenxin's Mansion, and you will lead people to find Prince Fusu." Mr. Wei said.
"Yes, Mr. Wei."
Suddenly the army split into two halves and rushed in two directions. Mr. Wei led his people to Wenxinhou's Mansion. Lu Buwei sat in front of Wenxinhou's Mansion, watching the aggressive army and calmly drinking tea. The steward was Standing behind Lu Buwei.
"Lu Buwei, your good days are over. Someone come and kill Lu Buwei." A guest with a tattoo on his face shouted to Lu Buwei. He had violated Qin law and had tattoos carved on his face to become a prisoner.
The retainer shouted to the army behind him, but the army behind him showed no intention of stepping forward. Lu Buwei glanced at these people attentively, and they immediately retreated. Lu Buwei's pressure made him dare not step forward.
Lu Buwei's eyes showed disdain. He originally relied on Lao Ai for the rebellion. After Lao Ai became powerful, he imitated Lu Buwei everywhere, including recruiting followers. Lu Buwei originally thought that Lao Ai would find some good talents, but these crooked melons and jujubes fell apart. He was disgusted even when he reached the threshold of Marquis Wenxin's mansion.
Lu Buwei waved his hand, Mr. Wei's eyes changed, and the long sword in his hand immediately unsheathed, instantly slit the throat of Lao Ai's guest behind him, and shouted
"Lao Ai conspired to rebel. The Queen Mother has ordered Lao Ai to be killed. Now put down your weapons. Your Majesty will let bygones be bygones!!"
Mr. Wei's sudden betrayal was something they didn't expect. Lao Ai's retainers looked at Mr. Wei and shouted
"Mr. Wei, Marquis Changxin treats you badly, how could you."
Before the disciple could finish speaking, Mr. Wei's throat was cut with a sword. The soldiers and other disciples watched Mr. Wei keep retreating. They relied on me, Mr. Wei and Lao Ai, for their rebellion. Now that Mr. Wei suddenly rebelled, it should be said that He has always been an intermediary, and one of the two main forces in the rebellion has surrendered. What else do the rest of them do? They play games, and the one who is most responsible for command and output hangs up. They still play a few games, and they are directly three. point.
The soldiers behind them kept putting down their weapons. Only the disciples of Lao Ai knew that they would die if they surrendered. They were ready to fight, but a few soldiers rushed out of the queue. The other soldiers saw the movements of these people and hurriedly followed. Brother, Everyone has made mistakes, you can't think of a way without helping your brothers.
Several diners who were still trying to resist were instantly knocked down. The soldiers tied up the diners in a hurry. Mr. Wei saluted Lu Buwei,
After Mr. Wei finished speaking, he drew his sword and committed suicide. His life was given by Lu Buwei. He had already decided to die for Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei would take good care of his family. Rebellion must be continuous. Although all this is for the Qin State, But he was one of the driving forces behind Lao Ai's rebellion. Even if all this was planned, he still had to give an explanation to Qin State and Qin Fa with his life. More importantly, he did not want to implicate Lu Buwei, although Lao Ai wanted to Conspiracy, but it was Lu Buwei who was behind it, but as long as he gave an explanation with his own life, it was enough.
Mr. Wei was arranged by Lu Buwei to die next to Lao Ai.
"Bury him generously, bring his family to Wenxinhou Mansion, and send his children to the inner room to study." Lu Buwei said, the end of death is so miserable.
"It's Mr. Marquis," the steward said.
Zhao Gao was dressed in blood, with a shallow scar on his evil face and a lot of blood stains on his face. He held Fusu in his arms and came to Wenxinhou Mansion, saluted Lu Buwei and said
"Master Marquis, everything has been dealt with, and His Royal Highness is safe and sound."
Zhao Gao handed Fusu to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei looked at Fusu in his arms with a kind smile on his serious face, looked at Zhao Gao and said
"Mr. Ziyou is right. You are indeed more suitable to master Luo Wang. This is Luo Wang's token. From now on, Luo Wang will be handed over to you."
Lu Buwei threw a token to Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao hurriedly caught it. This was the second token of the snare. From today on, the person in charge and the only person in charge of the snare was Zhao Gao.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will definitely live up to the expectations of Sir, Your Majesty, and Lord Marquis." Zhao Gao saluted.
Lu Buwei nodded, looking at the kind face of Fusu in his arms. He looked like a neighbor, without any decisiveness in his killing just now.
Six Sword Slaves brought the trapped Wei Wei Jie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Yi Jie, and Zhongdafu Lingqi to the front of Wenxinhou Mansion. Lu Buwei nodded to Zhao Gao and stopped looking. It depends on your own grandchildren. How can these people be as important as Fusu?
Zhao Gao waved his hand and asked people to push these four people down. After all, these four people were still ministers of the Qin State. If it were him before, he would kill them immediately to claim credit, but now Zhao Gao has understood A lot, he doesn't need to show how scary he is, with King Qin and Ziyou, who dares to underestimate him.
Lu Buwei glanced at Zhao Gao with admiration. He was a good talent, not blinded by power, and knew the procedures of Qin.
It’s all done today
