Chapter 645: Zheng'er Dies, and Qi'er Becomes King! He Brings Together the Power of the World to Fight the King Alone!

The chilly autumn wind blew into the main hall of Huayang Palace.

It added a bit of chill to the already depressing hall.

Yangquan Lord Mi Chen, Imperial Household Minister Mi Li, Queen Mother's Junior Household Minister Mi Fan, and Zhong Changshi Xiong Wan, as well as other top forces of Chu's relatives, gathered here.

All the big figures in the eyes of the world were frowning and solemn at this moment.

Finally, Mi Li broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "The king's mind is becoming more and more obvious."

"The king's methods are becoming more and more impatient."

"The king wants not only to unify the world, but also to make the world have only one voice."

"The king's own voice!"

"In the court and in the wild, everyone must obey the king's orders!"

Wei Zhuang and Wei Liao were originally two sharp blades that Ying Zheng found to help him start internal operations.

During the time when Ying Chengjiao was away on foreign wars, Ying Zheng was also using these two sharp blades to start internal operations, gradually cutting out corruption and strengthening his authority.

As Ying Chengjiao returned to the court with the momentum of destroying the country, Ying Zheng's actions suddenly accelerated, and it had reached a point that all the ministers could not tolerate!

Mi Chen sighed softly: "This is difficult."

"The world has been long for thousands of years, and the kings of various countries are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river."

"But even the former emperor could not do what the king wants."

"The king's idea is very naive, and he is dragging the great Qin Dynasty and the king into the abyss together."

"One wrong step, and the Qin Dynasty will perish!"

Mi Chen's words did not contain negative emotions such as curses.

But Mi Chen really believed so.

Ying Zheng was acting against the general trend of the world, against the thoughts of the people of the world, and against the wisdom of countless saints in the past.

The people of the world will not understand him, the people in the court cannot understand him, and the dignitaries from all over the country will resist and criticize him.

Ying Zheng's skills are indeed very strong, but if Ying Zheng takes a wrong step, the counterattack that follows will make the entire Qin Dynasty buried with Ying Zheng's ambition!

Xiong Wan sighed helplessly: "If the king is incompetent, it would be fine."

"But the king is Yunwen and Chang'an Jun is Yunwu."

"Now these two brothers have joined forces and forced my Great Qin to embark on an extremely dangerous path."

"This official is worried about it!"

"What worries me even more is where you and me and your and my family and clansmen should go?"

Mi Li said solemnly: "The Great Chu has perished."

"Even your and my clansmen have now become Qin people."

"We have no way out!"

"All we can do is fight!"

"For our clansmen, for the prosperity and wealth of future generations."

"We must fight to the end at all costs!"

A group of Chu relatives All of them shouted in a low voice with their blood boiling:

"Yes, we must fight to the end!"

"This Great Qin is not the Great Qin of the king alone, but the Great Qin of us and the king together!"

"We would rather shed the blood of our generation than let the next generation be only common people!"

The Queen Mother Huayang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly swept her tired eyes to everyone: "How to fight?"

"You have seen what Zheng'er has done in recent years. Do you think you can beat Zheng'er?"

"Are you going to start another Qinian Palace coup, imitate the old deeds of Qu, Jing, and Zhao of the former Chu, kill the king and support the new king!"

"Don't forget it."

"Zheng'er died, and Jiao'er is king!"

The Queen Mother Huayang's words silenced all the Chu relatives.

After more than ten breaths, Mi Li finally spoke with a hoarse voice: "Zheng'er is our junior, how could we have such an idea?"

"The Queen Mother misunderstood."

The other Chu relatives also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the king will be healthy forever!"

"After returning home, remember to remind the sons of the clan not to have evil thoughts and be loyal to the king!"

"The dispute between the king and us is just a dispute of ideas, why should we resort to war?"

"The Queen Mother is overthinking, we will not kill the king, we will only try our best to protect the king!"

Listening to these extremely sincere assurances, the Queen Mother Huayang did not comment, but said calmly: "Fight, you can."

"But there are rules and manners for fighting!"

"If anyone breaks the rules, there is no need for Zheng'er to do it, I will kill you first!"

The radical Chu relatives loyal to Xiong Qi had already followed Xiong Qi and died in Chu.

Most of the Chu relatives who remained in the Qin Dynasty were veterans under the command of Queen Mother Huayang.

Now, hearing that Queen Mother Huayang had given such a resolute instruction, all the Chu relatives bowed solemnly:

"Yes!"

Mi Chen also said in a gentle voice: "Sister, don't be angry, you are all just thinking about the people of the clan."

"As for how to fight, I have some ideas."

"I think that the demise of the Chu State and the king's clear-cut suppression of local dignitaries are an opportunity for us."

"We can definitely come forward to contact the people of the former Chu and Wei, and use their power to cultivate power in Guandong."

"When the time comes, we can even use the local area to resist the court!"

Queen Mother Huayang frowned slightly: "Zheng'er's thoughts are very clear, Zheng'er just wants to control the local area."

"You are acting against Zheng'er's thoughts, and the struggle may become more and more intense."

"And I don't think you can succeed!"

Mi Chen said seriously: "As a human being, you have selfishness."

"The king wants to control the local area, but the people sent by the king to control the local area also hope to become local dignitaries and benefit their descendants for generations!"

After a pause, Mi Chen lowered his voice a bit: "And since the king ascended the throne, he has only given fiefdom to Chang'an Jun."

"I have reason to suspect that the king is unwilling to give fiefdom to others, and will not confer fiefdoms on lords and marquises anymore, but will apply the county system to the entire Qin!"

"Of course, the former Zhou emperor could only control a hundred miles of territory, so how can the king control such a large Qin!"

"We are indeed fighting the king, but we are not fighting the king alone."

"Instead, we are using the power of the world to fight the king alone!"

Mi Chen's voice was very firm.

Mi Chen's idea also has a great probability of success!

Because every person in a high position is their potential fellow traveler.

If Ying Zheng really no longer implements the feudal system, then Ying Zheng's sons will also become their comrades-in-arms!

The interests will make Ying Zheng a real lonely man!

However, the Queen Mother Huayang just raised her eyes and asked: "What about Jiao'er?"

"If the struggle is so intense that Zheng'er no longer cares about stability, Zheng'er may release Jiao'er from Hangu Pass."

"By then, Zheng'er will be in the court and Jiao'er will be on the tour. What will you do?"

The words of the Queen Mother Huayang once again made Mi Chen fall into silence.

"Grandmother!"

"Grandson is here to see you!"

"Lord Chang'an, please..."

The eunuchs outside the palace had just said half of their calls when the door of the main hall of Huayang Palace suddenly opened a crack.

Mi Chen and others went to the door and saw a shoulder exposed in the gap.

And that shoulder was pushing the door open.

A sunny smile suddenly flashed from behind the door, and the joyful shouts spread into the main hall, suddenly colliding with the cold air in the hall!

One, two, three, more than ten pairs of eyes looked at Ying Chengjiao before they could turn from cold to astonished.

No, how can you be so happy!

Why are you so happy!

Can't you go home and be happy if you want to!

We are having a hard time here, do you have to be so happy in front of us?

You are doing it on purpose!

Facing the eyes that turned from astonishment to anger, Ying Chengjiao's smile became brighter and brighter, and he bowed slightly:

"Chengjiao greets his uncle (grandfather), uncle, uncle, uncle... and all uncles!"

Ying Chengjiao no longer called out the titles and official positions, but reported the complicated and lengthy titles of relatives, acting like a junior.

Mi Li was still a little dissatisfied, looking at the eunuch outside the door and asked in a deep voice:

"Haven't you eaten today!"

The imperial guard ordered Xiong Miao to look at his nose and his heart, without saying a word.

When King Zhuangxiang recognized Queen Mother Huayang as his mother, he was already a father. Queen Mother Huayang had no way to get the joy of raising a child from King Zhuangxiang.

When Ying Zheng returned to the Qin Dynasty, he was already past the age of fun, and because of his rough experience, Ying Zheng was quite mature when he just returned to the Qin Dynasty, and it was not easy to tease him.

Who provided the joy of raising a child to Queen Mother Huayang?

Chang'an Jun!

As an old minister who had followed Queen Mother Huayang for more than 20 years, Xiong Miao knew very well that Queen Mother Huayang had to alienate Ying Chengjiao and get close to Ying Zheng for factions and interests.

But if it really comes to family affection and favor, Ying Zheng and King Zhuangxiang can't be compared with Ying Chengjiao!

If Xiong Miao dared to stop Ying Chengjiao today, he would either be expelled from Huayang Palace by Queen Mother Huayang, or be ordered by Ying Zheng to be held accountable, or be beaten to death on the spot by Ying Chengjiao.

There is no way to survive at all!

More importantly, who in Huayang Palace doesn't like Ying Chengjiao?

Before Mi Li asked again, Ying Chengjiao said cheerfully: "How do you know that the king did not invite me to eat?"

"I didn't eat much at the banquet today, and then I was in court for most of the day. I am so hungry!"

"Grandma, is there any food?"

The Queen Mother Huayang said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! Of course!"

"Hurry up and serve the meal!"

Ying Chengjiao handed the wine jar in his arms to Xiong Miao and said: "It just so happens that I also took a jar of fine wine from the king."

"This is the king's treasure, and he will not give it to outsiders easily!"

"It just happens to be used to match the meals in the grandmother's palace."

"Thank you, Guard Miao, to share it with all the elders."

Xiong Miao hurriedly took the jar of wine from Ying Chengjiao with gratitude in his eyes, and walked towards Mi Chen and others in small steps.

Mi Chen asked in astonishment: "Is this wine really treasured by the king?"

The slender and smooth inscriptions and familiar auspicious beast carvings on the wine jar are all specifications that can only be used by the king of Chu.

The aroma of wine wafting from the mouth of the jar is so authentic!

You told me that this is the private collection of fine wine by the King of Qin?

Ying Chengqi smiled and praised: "Uncle, you have a keen eye."

"This wine was taken from the Helu Palace after my grandson conquered Chu last year."

"I don't know whether it was collected by King Han of Chu, King You of Chu, or King Fuchu of Chu, but it is collected by the King of Chu after all, and it lives up to the name of the king's collection of fine wine."

"But no matter which king it once belonged to, it is now my king's collection!"

The slightly green wine was poured from the jar into the wine cup in front of Mi Chen and others.

But the faces of Mi Chen and others turned even greener.

What does Ying Chengqi mean by this!
