Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Buwei sat in the hall, frowned.

"Although I am now the regent minister and seem to be in charge of military and political affairs, the young Qin King has now relied on the reputation he had accumulated in Qin and the military hope he had accumulated in the battle to destroy South Korea, coupled with Zhao Ji's unreserved support, the support of the Chu clan, royal family, and generals such as Meng Ao in the court, although he has not taken power in power, it is no different from taking power in power."

"Today he could have used these forces to send Gongzi Qi to the inner historian, but at the last moment he did not. Instead, he made a compromise. Is he not ready to shake my position now, or is he deliberately keeping me to stabilize the court, which also controls the expansion of the Chu faction and the royal family?"

"At a young age, he is so far-sighted and the king is so skillful in playing with power and tricks, it is difficult to deal with!"

Lu Buwei stood up, walked out of the lobby with his back, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and his heart was confused for a moment, "What should I do now?"

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and it was impossible for him to give up his current rights, but he did not dare to further suppress the royal power.

Ying Zichu trusted him because he helped Ying Zichu become the King of Qin from an unpopular concubine prince, so he was willing to divide the territory, but Ying Zheng had nothing to do with him.

If the Chu faction and royal family were not in harmony with Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng might need his support and even rely on him to hold the throne. But now, the power in Ying Zheng's hands is no longer good and he can easily play with it.

Therefore, now he must give himself an accurate positioning.

Only in this way can we determine the direction.

Otherwise, like a headless fly, something will happen sooner or later.

"It seems that we must find an opportunity to test Zhao Ji's tone."

"As long as Ying Zheng is not around, this woman will be more likely to break through."

Lu Buwei thought for a long time, his eyes were determined, and he ordered coldly, "Zheng Huo, let someone stare at the palace. Whenever there is news, he will immediately return it."

"promise!"

The butler behind him immediately bowed his head.

...

the next day.

afternoon.

Accompanying Zhao Ji to wander around the palace for a day is also a rare rest time for the mother and son.

After sending Zhao Ji back to Xingle Palace, Ying Zheng returned to the Xianyang Palace where he lived and met the young master Qi who came to ask for his meeting.

After a greeting, Young Master Qi turned to the farmer's affairs.

"Um?"

Ying Zheng looked at Gongzi Qi, and the young master Qi was very uncomfortable and he felt a little nervous.

After all, he had just been promoted by Ying Zheng, so he came to plead for the people who assassinated Ying Zheng. It was not reasonable or reasonable.

As a qualified politician, he shouldn't take over this matter.

But when you think of the huge power of the farmer family, if you can use it for him, it will be helpful to him. If you ignore it, then if you spread it, your reputation will become bad.

Who is willing to be his disciple in the future?

In addition, Ying Zheng only imprisoned but not killed, which obviously had other purposes, so he was willing to give it a try.

After a long time, Ying Zheng looked away, "Mi Qi, do you know what crime the farmer committed? How dare you plead for them? Don't forget your identity!"

Ying Zheng spoke coldly.

In fact, he left the two people in the farmhouse and did not kill them. He had the intention of using them and was waiting for the farmers to come. Now Mi Qi is here to plead for mercy, but he wants to see what the relationship between Mi Qi and the farmhouse is now.

"I am guilty!"

Mi Qi immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice: "There is no doubt that he is a citizen of Qin and a minister of the king. He should share the worries of the king. In addition to personal feelings, the affairs of the farming family are also for the sake of the king."

"oh?"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly, looked down at Mi Qi below, and asked playfully: "What kind of personal feelings, and how do you think about me?"

Mi Qi's eyes drooped, and he didn't dare to meet Ying Zheng's eyes.

Although Ying Zheng was young, his eyes were extremely deep. Under the depth, it seemed to cover up endless thoughts, making people dare not spy on it.

Even if he asked himself that he had extraordinary abilities and extraordinary wisdom, he would be thrilled by Ying Zheng's two goals for a moment.

Thinking of this, Mi Qi's eyes drooped, and then said truthfully: "I have traveled to seven countries many years ago. In Yan State, I am familiar with Tian Guang, the current farmer's hero, and traveled to several countries. Therefore, I have formed a friendship.

The minister was unwilling to participate in this matter, but he thought that the peasant family was powerful, and if he could win over the peasant family, it would be beneficial to the king's unification of the world in the future, so he came."

Mi Qi looked loyal and righteous. Afterwards, he seemed to be completely considering Ying Zheng.

"Since the farmer's hero is here, let him come to see me in person!"

Ying Zheng waved his robe and said lightly: "It depends on whether the so-called hero of the farmer family has the courage."

"promise!"

Seeing this, Mi Qi immediately lowered his head to respond.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, it was the best result for him now.

After all, he is now a minister around the King of Qin. Speaking for the peasant family is already an abduction, and even makes Ying Zheng dislike him. If he helps the peasant family negotiate terms with Ying Zheng, his butt will be really crooked, and it is unlikely that he will continue to make great achievements in Qin.

The opportunity that Empress Dowager Huayang finally won for him can naturally not waste it.

...

And when Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang Palace and met Mi Qi.

Lu Buwei also learned the news and set off immediately, entered the palace, and headed straight for Xingle Palace.

In Xingle Palace.

Queen Zhao Ji sat opposite the prime minister Lu Buwei, and Mrs. Hu stood behind Zhao Ji. When the banshee saw Lu Buwei appear outside, she hid.

"Well? The Prime Minister of Qin came to see the Queen Mother at this time. Is there any secret?"

After the banshee retreated to Liangzhu, she watched Lu Buwei enter the palace, "Maybe, this is my chance to report to my little man."

Just as the banshee was about to leave, a soft voice suddenly came from behind, "What are you doing when your sister stands here?"

The banshee's expression remained unchanged, and slowly turned around, with a bright smile on her face, "Sister, have you just returned from Princess Honglian?"

As he said, the banshee slowly approached, "I happened to have something I need my sister's help."

"Oh? Sister, I need my help if I have something to do?"

Meiren Hu showed curiosity on her face. These days have been enough to make her familiar with the banshee, especially both of them are smart people.

Because Meiren Hu knew Honglian, she was arranged by Ying Zheng to teach her.

Although South Korea has been destroyed, Honglian is a princess after all. Ying Zheng is still preparing to collect all the princesses from the six countries, so naturally he will not neglect Honglian because of this.

As for the trendy banshee, Meiren Hu was full of vigilance.

She had talked with her sister before, knowing how the woman in front of her bullied her sister before, and also knowing the other party's methods, so she was particularly vigilant.

Meiren Hu was also the favorite concubine in the Han Palace in the past, and she was well aware of the dangers in the deep palace.

The banshee also saw that the other party was wary of him. Although Beauty Hu hid it very well, she was still too young in front of her.

"Sister, why bother to be nervous? Sister, don't eat people."

The banshee approached Meiren Hu, her red lips opened lightly, and her warm breath sprayed on Meiren Hu's cheeks. She continued to say, "Sister just wants to invite you to Xianyang Palace to bring words to the king. This will also be good for you!"

The slender and white jade hand of the banshee slowly slid down from the shoulders of Hu Meiren. Hu Feng endured the discomfort and frowned and listened to the words in his ears.

After a moment, Meiren Hu took a step back, "Since that's the case, the sister will go."

"My sister, please, giggle..."

Looking at the slightly rushed steps of Meiren Hu, the banshee covered her mouth and chuckled, and she looked charming.

...

In Xingle Palace.

"Sangbang came today, which surprised me."

Zhao Ji slowly sat up from the wooden couch, her laziness was extremely tempting.

However, she had no good expression on Lu Buwei at this moment.

When she first came back, because she had no foundation, she needed someone to talk to her. When she needed help from someone, Lu Buwei didn't dare to look at her again. Now that she has become the empress dowager of the regent, she is coming with a gaze.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins."

Lu Buwei lowered his head slightly and looked at Zhao Ji who was lazy on the wooden couch. His heartbeat accelerated for some reason. Then he quickly suppressed it, and his expression returned to his solemnity. "I came today for the position of the Empress Dowager and the King!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji's smile frowned, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she said in dissatisfaction: "What does Xiangbang mean? This palace is now the Empress Dowager of the Qin State, and my son is the King of Qin. His status is stable. Who can shake it?"

Lu Buwei didn't say anything, but just glanced at Mrs. Hu behind Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji frowned, and naturally knew what this meant, "Zi Jin, you go out first."

"promise!"

Mrs. Hu was stunned, then lowered her head and slowly withdrew.
