Chapter 461 The battle for the crown (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)(1/2)
When she returned to the bedroom, Zhao Ji was lying lazily on the soft collapse, her eyelids frequently fighting and her head was little by little, obviously extremely tired.
When the beautiful Hu on the side saw Ying Zheng, he was about to speak, but Ying Zheng just waved his hand. The beautiful Hu immediately understood and stepped back carefully.
Zhao Ji was already extremely tired and didn't notice it at all.
When Ying Zheng came to his side and asked him to lean on him, he became a little more awake.
"Zheng'er, are you finished?"
Zhao Ji rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Let's rest early."
"Um."
...
A few days later, some wind finally came into the ears of Empress Dowager Huayang.
At this time, Ying Zheng and his group also came from Guo Palace to Yongcheng.
As soon as Ying Zheng stepped into Ji Nian Palace, Empress Dowager Huayang rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing the anxious expression of Empress Dowager Huayang, Ying Zheng first dealt with the royal family and waited for everyone to leave, then asked: "Why is grandmother here?"
Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
But the Empress Dowager Huayang took a few steps forward and said nervously, "Zheng, King, where is Cheng Jiao?"
The Empress Dowager Huayang couldn't wait to ask, her eyes showing concern and panic.
After all, there was Mi Dian among the people who came to help this time. Although Mi Dian didn't dare to say it blatantly, even if no one told Ying Zheng about such a big thing, Fan Yuqi and Cheng Jiao fled all the way, and it was inevitable that news would be heard, and it eventually came into Huayang's ears.
Ying Zheng never thought that he could keep this matter hidden.
The reason why I came to Yongcheng so soon was to handle things.
"It seems that my grandmother has heard of it."
Ying Zheng sighed lightly, then shouted with his back: "Mi Dian."
"I'm here."
Mi Dian immediately walked in, "Greetings to the king, to the Queen Mother Huayang."
As the highest official position in the Qin Dynasty except Mi Qi, Mi Dian is naturally the core of the Chu Dynasty. He has always been a member of the county magistrate before and was called back half a year ago.
Moreover, during his tenure, Li Xin was Mi Dian's disciple and studied with him for several years.
"Mi Dian, talk to grandmother."
Ying Zheng shook his head and didn't want to say much, and Empress Dowager Huayang could only look at Mi Dian, brows sternly, and asked directly: "Mi Dian, what happened? Cheng Jiao him?"
Mi Dian was a Chu faction after all, so Ying Zheng made Mi Dian look more fair, and Empress Dowager Huayang believed it more, which proved that this was not what Ying Zheng did, but Cheng Jiao took the initiative to rebel.
Not long after, after listening to Mi Dian's narration, Empress Dowager Huayang shook her body, took a few steps back, and held her forehead with one hand. When Ying Zheng saw it, he hurried forward to support him, "Grandmother? What's wrong with you, grandmother?"
"I'm fine."
After all, Empress Dowager Huayang was a politician who had risen and fall. She suppressed her inner shock and grief and forced herself to calm down. "How could this happen? How could it be like this? How could Cheng Jiao have such courage?"
The Queen Mother Huayang was a little unbelievable. She looked at Mi Dian, but Mi Dian nodded, indicating that everything she said was true.
This made Huayang even more shocking.
She still believed in the words of Mi Dian and others. After all, this is her own confidant, and they have to rely on her if they can do this.
But because of this, the last lucky heart of Empress Dowager Huayang was defeated.
She always thought that Cheng Jiao would be very stable. Even if she really turned against her, the king Ying Zheng would be ruthless. She never thought that Cheng Jiao would rebel first.
"King, Zheng'er, what are you going to do next?"
Empress Dowager Huayang asked Ying Zheng to let go, and after standing firmly, he faced Ying Zheng and asked solemnly.
"I have ordered someone to secretly pursue Cheng Jiao. I want to see him personally and ask him why."
Ying Zheng clenched his fists, "I can't figure out why Cheng Jiao did this? I have given him so much, so he shouldn't!"
Ying Zheng also looked sad, "Before his father passed away, he asked me to take good care of Cheng Jiao, but now he is like this..."
"Yes, we must first ensure Cheng Jiao's safety. I don't believe that Cheng Jiao's child will be like this. He must be trapped or instigated."
The Empress Dowager Huayang nodded immediately. Ying Zheng did not directly order someone to kill him. The Empress Dowager Huayang felt very relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the person is still alive, there is still hope, even if he is directly imprisoned or demoted to a civilian in the future.
"In this way, the news about the concubine is hidden first. Even if I really know, I will stabilize her emotions. Don't let your mother go to trouble the concubine. The concubine must not know about this."
Soon, the Empress Dowager Huayang seemed to have thought of something and immediately said.
Because if Han Ni knew about this, it would inevitably bring her a huge blow, and something might happen, especially if Zhao Ji was stimulating and took the opportunity to cause trouble, it would be even more troublesome.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Huayang reminded me like this.
"Don't worry grandma."
Ying Zheng nodded to show his understanding.
...
On the other hand, Zhao Ji was thinking about when to cause trouble for Han Ni,
Huayang was too late at this time.
After getting the incident from Ying Zheng, Empress Dowager Huayang was still afraid that Zhao Ji would do anything, so she came here specially.
"Yeah, why is the Queen Mother here? It's better that I'm going to pay my respects to Queen Mother. How can I bother my Queen Mother to come to see me in person?"
When he saw the Empress Dowager Huayang, Zhao Ji immediately said with a smile, but when it fell into the ears of the Empress Dowager Huayang, he felt awkward and always felt sarcastic and condescending.
However, at this moment, Empress Dowager Huayang was not in the mood to intrigue with Zhao Ji, and said directly: "I have just gone to see the king, and I already know the matter."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Ji's face gradually disappeared, "Oh, how are the mother going to punish me? Could it be that the mother still wants to plead for him?"
Zhao Ji's expression returned to his coldness, "My mother forgot that this is a rebellion. The Qin law was a serious crime that implicated the three tribes. The mother and son should dismember the five horses to serve as a warning to others!"
"Zhao Ji!"
Empress Dowager Huayang browed and looked majestic, "Since Cheng Jiao did this, she should pay the price, but he is Zichu's son and the king's brother after all. Do you really want the king to be the name of killing a brother?"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed a few times and let out a cold snorkeling. She really wanted to get rid of the roots, but this did have a little impact on Ying Zheng's reputation.
However, she didn't care about her reputation. Zhao Ji had already decided that when the person arrived, she would personally have someone executed her in her name.
This reputation of killing brother will not fall on his beloved son.
However, no one has been caught now, so Zhao Ji is too lazy to argue with Empress Dowager Huayang at this time.
"Mother, don't forget that Zheng'er is also the child of Yiren. He is also your grandson. A bowl of water must be balanced. If Cheng Jiao succeeds this time, won't Zheng'er and I die in vain?"
Zhao Ji snorted coldly and asked back.
"I have never said that there is no punishment. I just hope that before someone is brought back, you must be calm and not cause trouble for Han Ni. Now that things have happened, Han Ni will definitely be hit when he knows it. Let him ease it."
"It turns out that after saying so much, my mother is worried about Han Ni!"
Zhao Ji reacted, looked at Empress Dowager Huayang, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Everyone is your daughter-in-law, but the mother really cares about Han Ni."
"You are already the Queen Mother of a country. Do you need to distinguish clearly?"
Empress Dowager Huayang turned around, "Or I would like to find Empress Dowager Xia to tell you."
When Zhao Ji heard Empress Dowager Huayang mention Empress Dowager Xia, his expression slightly restrained. After all, Empress Dowager Xia is Ying Yiren's biological mother. "Since the mother said that, I can only agree. However, after someone brings her back, even if Zheng'er doesn't kill him, I will definitely not punish him according to law. As for Han Ni, I can save her life."
"Then I'll thank Queen Mother Zhao."
Empress Dowager Huayang replied with a sarcastic sentence and then left.
After the Empress Dowager Huayang left, Zhao Ji snorted coldly and murmured to herself, "It's better to take my mother's queen and suppress me, just treat it as giving her face to her."
Han Ni in the Dazheng Palace did not know the news of Cheng Jiao's rebellion at this moment.
After all, the news has not spread yet, and she does not have the foundation of Empress Dowager Huayang in Qin. The news is wide, so naturally she cannot know it in advance.
Within two days, all the senior officials of Qin, including Lu Buwei, Mi Qi, and other Qin State arrived.
...
Jixin Palace.
The main palace of Yongcheng.
Tall and majestic.
"I am paying homage to the king, Empress Dowager, King for thousands of years! Empress Dowager for thousands of years!"
All the officials shouted loudly.
Ying Zheng sat high above the throne, wearing a black mysterious suit, with a solemn and majestic expression, "all the ministers were calm."
And on the right side behind Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji was also wearing a solemn and mysterious suit and sat upright.
"Thank you, King!"
Afterwards, Lu Buwei took the list to repay various things in the Qin State recently.
