Great Zhou Tianzi

The Cheng Qiao faction had no choice but to accept the reality, and they lost everything in just one day. If King Qin Zhuang hadn't announced yesterday morning that Ying Zheng would succeed him as the crown prince, he would still have a chance to fight, but now, there is no chance at all. .

Ying Zheng stood up and said, "The crown prince thinks that it is very appropriate to entrust Lu Xiangguo with the matter of father's funeral. What do you think?"

Zhao Ji's identity changed from Qin Wang's wife to Qin Wang's mother, and she also publicly expressed her support for Lu Buwei. Ying Zheng was an adult and needed someone to assist him. One was Xiangguo and the other was the Queen Mother.

The officials are accustomed to playing around with the wind, and they expressed their support for Lu Buwei, and recommended him as the auxiliary minister.

"Thanks to the love of my colleagues!" Lu Buwei said proudly with an expression that he belonged to me: "Since this is the case, the truth will not refuse! The king's funeral, the whole country mourns, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. The crown prince is very smart and can succeed you, I suggest that the crown prince ascend the throne tomorrow, and then the new king will take the lead and support the officials to hold a funeral for the king!"

"I agree!" Zhao Ji said again that she was on Lu Buwei's side.

"We all agree!" the officials shouted, only Cheng Qiao, Yangquan Jun and a few others remained silent.

……

Ji Jie waited in Lu's residence for a long time, until Zishi, Lu Buwei rushed back from the palace.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhaowen has been waiting for a long time!" Lu Buwei smiled when he saw Ji Jie.

"It's nothing, it's time for the Prime Minister to be busy, I understand!" Ji Jie's smile contained a lot of other elements, and he said straight to the point: "The Qin clan will be escorted to Xianyang City soon, should the Prime Minister order Let them go, and when they enter the city and be imprisoned, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Lu Buwei frowned. To be honest, today's affairs developed too fast and went more smoothly than expected. He was immersed in joy all the time, and he forgot all about what he had promised Ji Jie.

This thing is really a bit difficult!

In fact, the previous Lu Buwei agreed to this matter for two reasons, first, from threats; second, from temptation!

In general, the temptation was greater than the threat, so he agreed, thinking that Ying Zheng would make plans after he took the crown prince, and used various methods to delay, but he didn't expect Ji Jie to come to him so soon.

When he was in the palace just now, Lu Buwei felt that although the officials obeyed him on the surface, in fact, many people were disgusted with him giving orders. If he continued to make decisions about the Qin family, he might be impeached by the officials!

After all, Lu Buwei is not a native of Qin. Although he has been operating here for several years, his foundation is not as good as that of Lord Yangquan and others. It is better to be cautious in doing things.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not easy!" Lu Buwei found an excuse and said, "The enthronement of the new king, the funeral of the previous king, these are extremely complicated things! There is also the arrest of the Qin clan, which was ordered by the previous king. I will let him go after I die, what will everyone think? Mr. Zhao Wen, how about you give me a little time, let me deal with the matter in front of me first, and talk about this matter later?"

"Hehe, it's not good for Mr. Xiang to do this!" Ji Jie sneered twice, and said, "If you do this, how is it different from crossing a river and tearing down bridges?"

Old Lu Buwei blushed, and said: "But now I really can't order people to be released! If it is done, Lord Yangquan and Cheng Qiao will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss. The prince has not yet gained a firm foothold!"

Ji Jie knew, of course, what Lu Buwei was thinking, and it was not an option to continue to force him, but since he came, there must be a result, and he couldn't go back empty-handed.

"The Prime Minister's words have some truth, but my business is also very important!" Ji Jie stood up and said, "Well, I'll give you five days to release the person I want within five days, okay?"

"It's too nervous, three months!" Lu Buwei stretched out three fingers.

"Ten days!" Ji Jie made a concession, and at the same time made a sharp prediction: "Just ten days, there is no room for bargaining! The Prime Minister should know my Ji Jie's ability, and I can help you win the battle. It can also make him fall, you'd better keep my affairs in mind at all times, otherwise, when the moment comes, you and I will lose face, what do you think?"

"That is, that is, I will try my best to do it!" Lu Buwei said with a smile.

"Farewell!" Ji Jie cupped his fists, turned and walked out.

After Ji Jie left, Lu Buwei grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it on the ground, shouting: "What are you, you dare to threaten the truth? This is Qin State, not your Great Zhou!"

……

The next day, a vigorous new king's enthronement ceremony began. Yingzheng was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair. Lu Buwei stood aside. The old eunuch read in a high voice: King Zhuang's funeral, the crown prince Yingzheng ascended the throne , Respect Xiangguo Lu Buwei as the father of Xiangguo, all ministers must assist him carefully...

Since then, Yingzheng has officially become the King of Qin, and Lu Buwei has become a real power faction, firmly controlling the country's military and political power.

The old eunuch unfolded another imperial decree and read: "Prince Cheng Qiao, although he has a stubborn personality, considers his status as a prince and confers him the title of governor of Dongjun County. He will take up his post after the king's funeral. There must be no mistakes!"

Dongjun, the most chaotic place in the Qin State, had civil uprisings that broke out several times a year, and the government was attacked several times. The previous three county guards all died in the civil unrest, and the army's suppression was of no use at all.

Cheng Qiao curled his lips, and Mr. Yangquan poked him with his finger and winked.

Then Cheng Qiao knelt on the ground in a calm manner, and shouted in a strange tone: "Thank you, King, for your kindness!"

Then there were some adjustments to the ministers. Anyone who followed Lu Buwei would be rewarded. Ten out of ten of Cheng Qiao's faction were demoted, and some were simply wiped out.

The palace music sings together, and the officials shout long live.

On the high mountain not far from Xianyang City, Ji Jie watched the scene of Yingzheng ascending the throne in the city with a telescope, and smiled and said to Qin Qing beside him: "Lu Buwei really has power now, and although this child Yingzheng Very smart, but it will take at least ten years to regain military and political power from Lu Buwei!"

"What good does it do you for Lu Buwei to be in power?" Qin Qing asked.

"Of course!" Ji Jie said: "When Lu Buwei is in power, he will shrink the pace of Qin's outward expansion. Don't we have a chance in Da Zhou!"

Although Yingzheng is the son of Lu Buwei, apart from him and Zhao Ji, no third person in Qin State knows about it, and he dare not let the third person know, so Yingzheng is destined to bear the name of the son of King Zhuang of Qin, The throne is secure.

In order to stabilize his foundation, Lu Buwei will focus on the country instead of abroad. Anyway, sooner or later, the credit for expanding the territory will go to the king, so why should he bother about it.

After a while, a long line appeared on the official road in the distance, with cavalry clearing the way, followed by infantry and dozens of prison vehicles.

"Here we come!" Ji Jie handed the telescope to Qin Qing, which was their main purpose today.
