Chapter 822 The Queen Mother Came Out of the Palace in Tears to Greet Me! I Can't Let Others Say that I Am Mean and Ungrateful!

Although the Laiyang Palace is located in Neishi County, south of the Wei River like Chang'an Township, it is more than 130 miles away from Xianyang City (around Cao Village, Huyi District, Xi'an today), and is one of the palaces farthest away from Xianyang City among the palaces surrounding Xianyang.

In order to catch up with this dinner, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao must not have traveled by car.

But what has not been dispatched is not only the five-horse carriage that belongs to the king, but also various ceremonial guards belonging to the king.

Ying Chengjiao's thousand family soldiers, carrying Ying Chengjiao's ceremonial guards, galloped beside Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao.

If it weren't for Chunyu Yue, Han Fei and other ministers riding horses behind them, it would be hard to believe that Ying Zheng was also in this team.

This also made Ying Zheng's attitude of being "dragged" by Ying Chengjiao particularly clear.

Even though they ran all the way, it was already dark when Ying Chengjiao and his party arrived at the Gaiyang Palace.

Dismounting outside the gate of the Gaiyang Palace, Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Zheng with a smile and said, "Brother, go and knock on the door!"

"I'm already hungry, and I've been running all the way, so I'm really hungry!"

Ying Zheng looked at the locked palace door in front of him with a complicated look, and said in a calm voice, "Since you are trapped by your appetite, you should knock on the door."

"As a king, how can I go to an rude place and ask to see an immoral person!"

"Now that I have escorted you here, I won't send you any further."

"You can go by yourself."

Ying Chengjiao came to Ying Zheng and muttered in a low voice, "Brother, that's enough!"

"Almost "It's OK to say more, too much is as bad as too little!"

"It's nice to have your casual accusation, but how can I make it right later?"

"Brother, please consider me!"

Ying Zheng's voice was still calm, but he lowered his voice: "If it can't be made right, then don't make it right."

"The Queen Mother is shameless, and I really don't want to see her!"

Ying Chengjiao: (_)

Ying Chengjiao glanced at Ying Zheng with his eyes slanted: "Then why did you drag me to run more than a hundred miles? !"

After a long talk in the palace, Ying Chengjiao and Ying Zheng had carefully considered the issue of welcoming back Zhao Ji and promoting filial piety.

Welcoming back Zhao Ji is good for the Qin Dynasty's rule over Guandong, and it can give the people of Guandong a way out.

Although the Qin Dynasty was brutal, unrighteous, and rude, and fought for years, the ruler of the Qin Dynasty was filial!

However, it is a fantasy and a foolish dream to imagine that the Guandong region can be stabilized by just the word "filial piety" as Chunyu Yue, Lu Buwei and others imagined.

Even if Ying Zheng endured the disgust and welcomed Zhao Ji back, the subsequent stability maintenance work that Ying Zheng had to do would not be much less.

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, Ying Chengjiao handed the power of choice to Ying Zheng.

And then...

Ying Zheng stood up silently and left the hall, mounted his horse and galloped!

There was no embarrassment on Ying Zheng's face, and he said calmly: "Although the benefits of welcoming back the Queen Mother are not as great as you thought, the victory is the accumulation of little advantages."

"For the sake of the country, you are willing to endure the humiliation for a while."

Ying Zheng's calm expression made Ying Chengjiao a little confused.

Is the eldest brother arrogant or does he really want Zhao Ji to die?

I don't understand!

It's really too difficult for Ying Chengjiao to guess Ying Zheng's thoughts!

Ying Chengjiao spread his hands and said, "But at least my elder brother has to lift the ban on the Laiyang Palace."

"Otherwise, even if I go to knock on the door, the eunuchs of the Laiyang Palace will not dare to open the door!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Chengjiao and said, "You know the rules now!"

Ying Chengjiao: ￣へ￣

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the Laiyang Palace again, but he did not let Ying Chengjiao knock on the door, but shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"

"The people of the Laiyang Palace are here to receive you!"

At the command, the sound of the door bolt rubbing against the door panel came from the main gate of the Laiyang Palace.

It only took a few breaths for the heavy door bolt to be moved away by the eunuchs. Twenty eunuchs stood on both sides and pushed open the door of the Laiyang Palace that had been sealed for five years!

Inside the palace gate, all the eunuchs and maids of the Aiyang Palace stood on both sides, all excitedly looking at Ying Zheng, and shouted: "Ministers, we pay our respects to the king!"

In front of the eunuchs and maids, Zhao Ji, who was wearing a black-bottomed red-lined gold-threaded long gown, a silver-black fox fur cloak, nine-braided fairy bun, and a golden crown of six spirits on her head, folded her hands in front of her and looked at the people standing outside the door with a graceful manner.

Zhao Ji, who was 41 years old at the time, still could not interpret the true meaning of the saying that beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.

Because Zhao Ji not only had a beautiful bone structure, but also had only a few light wrinkles on her face, but they were all suppressed by pearl powder. Only the pupils, which were no longer light and pure, ruthlessly revealed her age.

When Zhao Ji and Ying Chengjiao looked into each other's eyes, Zhao Ji showed a charming smile on her face, and called out in a gentle voice: "Qiao'er!"

Ying Chengjiao immediately bowed his hands and shouted solemnly: "Your Highness, I am the son of the Chang'an Lord Chengjiao, and I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"

Zhao Ji stepped out of the palace gate and walked towards Ying Chengjiao with a smile on her face, carefully observing Ying Chengjiao's appearance and figure: "I haven't seen you for five years, but I often hear about your achievements."

" When Jiao'er destroyed Han, I was dumbfounded, thinking that the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty were gratified. "

"But I never thought that Jiao'er would destroy Wei, Chu, and Zhao in just five years, and defeat the Yan army twice!"

"Although I haven't seen Jiao'er for a long time, I am very excited just by hearing about Jiao'er's achievements!"

Ying Chengjiao was a little embarrassed and could only bow again: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your praise."

"As a prince of the Qin Dynasty and a general of the king, I should fight for the king."

"Fortunately, I have never failed to trust the king!"

Ying Chengyu wanted to bring the topic to Ying Zheng.

But Zhao Ji didn't even look at Ying Zheng. She walked directly in front of Ying Chengyu. She looked at Ying Chengyu with tears in her eyes and said: "At such a young age, the sages of all generations have accomplished unfinished work. What's more, they have done so many times." Fall into battle and take the lead.”

"Look at you now, you are taller and stronger, but your skin color is a bit darker. You are no longer as lively as you used to be. There is sadness in your eyes that cannot be eliminated."

"Xiao'er must have suffered a lot!"

"Since it's a dish cooked by missing an orphan, it's time to come and look for an orphan."

"I can't help Xiu'er stay safe, but at least I can help Xiu'er have a good meal!"

While talking, Zhao Ji even wanted to reach out and rub Ying Chengyu's face, which had obviously darkened a few degrees.

Ying Chengyu: (°Д°)

Ying Cheng took three steps back like a flying dragon, and held his hands in front of him with a smile: "How can I ruin the purity of the Queen Mother just because of my greed!"

"Fortunately, today the King wants to see the Queen Mother, so I can follow the King and have a real treat!"

Only then did Zhao Ji turn her attention to Ying Zheng.

After looking up and down, Zhao Ji nodded slightly: "Zheng'er is still alive."

"Very good."

Ying Zheng: (ー`ー)

Ying Zheng frowned uncontrollably and said quietly: "I have no such intention."

"It's just that the king brother will destroy Zhao in this battle. I should grant his request."

Ying Chengyu hurriedly smiled and said: "Queen Mother, I am in a hurry, but the lamb chops need to be grilled for a long time."

"I wonder if the lamb chops are grilled properly?"

After Zhao Ji's lips moved a few times, she finally suppressed her ridicule towards Ying Zheng. She just looked at Ying Cheng and said warmly, "I'm just counting the time."

"The lamb chops will be just right if you enjoy them now."

Ying Chengyu clapped his hands happily: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Brother! Queen Mother! Can I enter the palace?"

"My brother is almost starving to death!"

Zhao Ji covered her mouth and smiled, and said warmly: "The banquet is ready, just waiting for Xiu'er!"

Looking at Ying Chengyu's eager eyes, Ying Zheng also nodded slightly: "Enter the palace!"

Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu were on the left and right, while Zhao Ji stood between the two brothers.

This was not in line with the etiquette for a king to enter the house, but it made the eyes of the historian behind him shine.

Licking the tip of the pen with his tongue, Taishi Yao held the bamboo slip and wrote down the ink excitedly: [On September 27, the fourteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the king arrived at Huanyang Palace. The Queen Mother came out of the palace in tears to greet her. The King and Chang'an Lord accompanied the Queen Mother. On the left and right, they entered the Guiyang Palace together. 】

Gentlemen of later generations will surely applaud and praise this piece of historical information!

Carefully drying the ink, Taishi Yao hugged the bamboo slip tightly and hurriedly followed the steps of Ying Zheng and the others.

But before entering the Guiyang Palace, Taishi Yao heard a whimpering that was enough to make the listener feel sad and the listener cry.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Woo!!!"

Hurrying into the palace gate, Taishi Yao saw in the huge front yard, more than twenty people with injuries all over their bodies, all with disabilities, lying on the ground rolling around wildly, or slamming their stumps against stones.

Everyone's injuries are different, but everyone's wounds are covered with ants, and everyone's mouth is bleeding!

Even Ying Chengyu, who was used to seeing killings, and Ying Zheng, who cared about the world, stopped for a moment, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "What's going on!"

Zhao Ji smiled softly: "I almost forgot that since Zheng'er has entered the Huiyang Palace, he must pay homage to his elders."

"This is your uncle Zhong, that is your eldest uncle, and him..."

Listening to the voices of Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, Zhao Ying and others finally found a glimmer of clarity in the intense and continuous pain.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Zhao Ying twisted her body and came towards Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxiao, her eyes full of pleading.

Zhao Ying no longer expected Ying Zheng to let him go.

Zhao Ying just wants Ying Zheng to grant him death!

At this moment, Zhao Ying finally understood how kind Ying Chengyu really was.

The sword that Ying Chengyu rewarded Zhao Feng helped Zhao Feng avoid so much torture!

It's a pity that Zhao Ying was speechless at this moment.

Ying Zheng's heart went cold when he saw that Zhao Ying's face, which was once full of arrogance towards their mother and son, was now lowered to the ground, and was even used by Zhao Ying to rub the ground to make the cocoon move faster.

Ying Cheng sighed and said, "Is it true that their tongues have just been cut?"

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded: "Tonight there is a big banquet in Guiyang Palace. If I forget to feed these relatives, others will not know how to call me mean and ungrateful."

"That's why I gave them a delicious meal tonight."

"Toast your tongue!"

The fact that Zhao Ji was given to Lu Buwei, a businessman, as a dancer is enough to illustrate Zhao Ji's family status in the family.

It would be fine if Zhao Ji's appearance was mediocre.

But Zhao Ji is beautiful, very beautiful.

When you are unable to protect yourself, beauty is the greatest sin, and it can inspire the greatest evil in human nature!

Zhao Ji was not only extremely beautiful, but she was not valued by her biological father. The man who followed her abandoned her, making her a widow rather than a widow. She even gave birth to a child to Zhao's enemy, Qin's son Ying Yi, and her child was still with her. Around you!

This not only gives many people the reason and confidence to do evil, but also gives them the opportunity and leverage to do evil!

The already collapsed ritual and music had its last fig leaf torn off.

Zhao Ying is not the only one who often tramples on human ethics.

And the twenty or so people in front of them were not the only ones who had said dirty words to Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng!

Zhao Ji looked at Zhao Ying and others with a rather cold gaze: "I wonder if that tongue that can only utter obscene, evil, and bad words can be cleaned after being roasted."

"But it doesn't matter if it's not clean. It can be used to fill the stomach, which makes it valuable after all."

Ying Zheng felt even colder.

No wonder the king's younger brother said that when women go crazy, men have nothing to do.

Zhao Ji's punishment of Zhao Ying and others was really too cruel!

Ying Chengjiao's voice also became more embarrassed: "Then the fire for roasting tongues is not..."

Zhao Ji laughed: "Qi'er, how can you have such an idea?"

"The fire that roasted such a foul and smelly tongue must be filthy."

"How can it be used to roast food for people?"

"Qi'er, don't worry, the fire for roasting mutton is made by me from reeds this year, and mulberry, pine, oak, rice and wheat ears are used as firewood."

"In this way, the original taste of lamb can be stimulated, and the muscles and bones can be strengthened and the six internal organs can be calmed."

Ying Chengjiao was hungry because of what Zhao Ji said.

Take two steps forward, Ying Chengjiao rubbed his hands, and smiled expectantly: "Then let's eat first?"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!" Zhao Ying's face rubbed against the ground, his facial features were distorted, and his eyes tried their best to look at the boots stepping on his face and the owner of the boots-Ying Chengjiao.

Let's not talk about whether you eat or not.

Can you please take your feet away first!

Don’t run over me! Don’t run over me!
