"What? Ying Zhu was actually dead?"

With the news about Xianyang Palace came out.

The major wine shops in Xianyang were shocked by people from all over the country.

"Hahahaha, Ying Zhu died after three days of succession to the throne. It's so funny!"

"It seems that Yingji has consumed too much lifespan and luck of the descendants of the Qin Dynasty!"

Some people couldn't help laughing out loud.

As the most terrifying demon king of the Warring States Period, Qin Zhaoxiang King Yingji spent more than a dozen kings of the six countries alone.

After his death, the six kings cheered for it. Unexpectedly, in just one year, the new king of Qin died again after only three days of succession. How could this not make the people of the six kings excited?

"Go and send someone to spread this good news to the king!"

Such orders were issued from the taverns and mansions, and horses quickly left Xianyang.

...

250 BC.

Although the death of King Xiaowen of Qin made Qin sad, the court was not in chaos.

After all, there is an heir, and the heir has already grown up, so he directly takes over the royal power.

However, with the new king ascending the throne, it means that some forces will be suppressed and some new real powers are born.

The funeral of King Xiaowen Ying Zhu and the ceremony of the new king's succession took more than a month to end.

Inside the Zhangtai Palace.

"I want to worship the guest minister Lu Buwei as prime minister."

Ying Zichu went to Yongcheng to worship his ancestors and ascend the throne on the third day of his return, and issued this order directly.

The ministers had expected it, so it was not surprising.

And this is too normal for all countries.

Especially the Qin State.

When Duke Xiao died in the past, King Huiwen succeeded to the throne and killed Daliang Zhuang Shang Yang.

Even though King Huiwen was reluctant to leave, he had to kill him in order to stabilize people's hearts and successfully take over the royal power.

When King Huiwen died, the first person to expel King Wu ascended the throne was Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi.

King Wu's reign was too short. Although King Zhaoxiang succeeded to the throne, the royal power was controlled by Queen Mother Xuan and others, and also expelled or demoted King Wu of Qin.

Because King Zhaoxiang was alive for too long, there was no change in King Xiaowen Yingzhu. He just saved many royal families and old ministers who were detained during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, stabilized the hearts of the people. He did not do much else. After one year of mourning, he died after three days of succession, and he was even more inadequate.

It can be said that Qin Yiren succeeded to the throne to do things that Ying Zhu had not done before.

Cultivate your own direct team.

"I have no objection."

No one objected, after all, this is the king's right.

If the king wants to promote a confidant, they don’t allow it, then what do they want to do?

After all, Ying Zichu is not a child, she is a thirty-two-year-old King of Qin.

Moreover, after the Qin State followed Fan Ju and Cai Ze, there had been no prime minister for many years.

Therefore, it can be said that Lu Buwei served as the prime minister without any obstacles.

Only Yang Quanjun and other Chu people looked ugly.

He has not been in activities during this period, but Ying Zichu has made a decision long ago.

"My memory, Lu Buwei, thank you for the king!"

Lu Buwei knelt on his knees and worshiped him with great tribute, feeling excited.

After ten years of investment, it’s finally time to get a return.

From now on, he was no longer the lowest merchant, but the most powerful Qin prime minister among the seven countries, below one person and above ten thousand people.

"The princess, I have been told that I will order a general amnesty for the whole world!"

"Commend the meritorious officials of the previous kings according to their merits, treat the relatives of the clan with preferential treatment, and give them to the people!"

Ying Zichu nodded slightly and immediately issued the first order.

Then, rewards were issued one by one, and the loyalty of all officials were captured.

At the same time, Mrs. Huayang also became the Empress Dowager Huayang, and her biological mother Xia Ji was named Empress Dowager Xia. In order to make up for it, Zhao Ji was also named Queen.

Only the prince is left.

But Ying Zheng, as the queen's only son, was Ying Zichu's legitimate son, and in this regard, he already had an advantage.

What's more, many long straight plows have been produced in three months, and the people near Xianyang have already put into use.

Ying Zheng's reputation was completely spread among the people.

Whether it is a throne or a crown prince, it is only a matter of time.

...

In the harem.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji came to visit the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Of course not to watch the fun.

No matter how much Zhao Ji wants to watch the fun, she will not be so obvious in front of outsiders.

Otherwise, that would be unfilial.

In ancient times, the impact of an unfilial piety was extremely huge, and it was very likely that her son would lose his heir status.

So even if she was secretly happy, she didn't dare to show any of it now. Instead, she had to show extreme grief.

This time I came to visit the Empress Dowager Huayang to show my filial piety.

Since Ying Zichu has become the King of Qin, Zhao Ji is now starting to plan for her son.

Although Empress Dowager Huayang has lost her status as King Xiaowen, she has also placed a lot of her own strength in the court during King Xiaowen's mourning period for one year.

In particular, the mother of his cousin, King Zhaoxiang, Queen Mother Xuan, was also from the State of Chu. She left a large number of teams at the beginning. Although she was later swept out the four nobles by King Zhao of Qin, the Chu faction had long been deeply rooted in Qin.

So even though she is the queen mother now, there are still people from the Chu clan in the Qin Dynasty, and there are still a large number of people, and she holds important positions.

It’s just a pity that the position of the Communist Party of China cannot be won.

As her adopted son, Ying Zichu became the King of Qin by relying on her to become the King of Qin. Naturally, it would be impossible to attack these people. Otherwise, if she had just succeeded to the throne of King of Qin, she would have been very unfilial to attack her mother.

So if Zhao Ji wants Ying Zheng to become the crown prince, there is still some resistance.

Although Lu Buwei was the prime minister of Qin, he had just served as the leader. He had a weak foundation in the court. Others were either clan relatives, old ministers, or Chu.

The current leader of the Chu faction is Lady Huayang who became the Empress Dowager.

...

Huayang Palace.

"My mother, you must take care of yourself!"

Mrs. Han sat beside the bed, her eyes were also red, and she comforted her softly.

On the bed, Mrs. Huayang's face was a little pale and a hint of sadness.

Although she is six years younger than King Xiaowen, she is still forty-six now. However, she has always maintained her well. She looked like she was in her early thirties at the beginning, but in just a few days, she seemed to have grown a few years old.

She has always had a good relationship with King Xiaowen over the years, otherwise she would not have been disgusted by King Xiaowen even though she was older, and she loved her extremely much and even made her stepson Ying Zichu the legitimate son.

Therefore, when Ying Zhu passed away, Mrs. Huayang was also in a very sad mood. In just a few days, how many years have he gotten older than the past.

"I'm fine."

The Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head slightly. After all, she was born in a royal family and had been ups and downs for a long time.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen and Prince Zheng are here to visit you."

At this time, a palace maid entered and reported.

When Mrs. Han heard the queen coming, her expression changed slightly, and she seemed unwilling to accept it.

Although Zhao Ji is Ying Zichu's wife, she is the one who has been with Ying Zichu for the longest time, and she is a Korean princess. Now she has lost her position as the queen.

It would be fine if I lost my status, but it was implicated by my son and he was one step further away from the throne.
