I rely on Qin Shihuang to enshrine the gods

The next day.

Dawn breaks.

The light of dawn outside the window shines in through the cracks, and the girl's ink hair hangs like algae on the bed, her facial features are so gorgeous that it makes one's breath stagnate.

It's just that on her bare feet, she is holding a gold chain abruptly, and on the other end of the gold chain is a gold and copper beast that spews smoke rings in the corner.

"Ding—stop."

Baitao got up from the bed as if she had no bones, and when she saw the gold chain on her ankle, she lost her sleepiness all at once. She pulled it and said in a daze, "Who tied it for me?"

No one should.

Ying Zheng next to him has already gone to court.

But who else could it be? Except for him who can come and go freely in this hall, the rest of the people are just a little decoration in the golden cage.

Baitao shook the gold chain on her ankle, the end was actually tied with a tripping bell, she muttered, "Why are you running around like my brother, and you all like to take care of me."

Combined with what she said last night, I really don't know whether to lift a stone and smack her own feet or smack her own feet.

A palace maid filed in from outside, opened the curtain and brought out a lacquer tray with a prepared breakfast on it. When they saw the gold chain on the ground, they all fixed their eyes on it.

They only said, "Your Majesty has ordered that the young master will stay in the palace for the next few days in preparation for the royal wedding. After a while, someone will come over to present the wedding dresses. They are all embroidered mothers of the state of Lu who have been destroyed. It took several years to prepare for the wedding." Made of blood."

Not to mention these maids, even Baitao almost forgot about marrying Brother Zheng, "I don't care about the wedding dress, as long as you can wear it, by the way, where is Rui'er?"

The maid said: "Aunt Rui'er returned to the palace last night, and she is still washing and bathing, and the young master will see you soon."

"Well, back off then."

Baitao sat down and forked a piece of chicken with ivory chopsticks. The maids saluted respectfully, and then retreated one after another. About time, the envoy came in.

Rui'er came in and kowtowed: "The servant pays homage to the young master."

Baitao fiddled with the chain to look at her.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, in just two days, Rui'er's cheeks became much thinner and haggard, even the light in her eyes dimmed a bit, like a cave where bats are flying around.

Baitao said with some distress: "Rui'er, you..."

Rui'er shook her head, and two lines of tears flowed down her face: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Little master, this servant is just afraid, and I will never see you again in this life."

Buryed with guilt, Baitao went down the tunnel, "Your Majesty, he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Hearing the soft ringing of the anklet, Rui'er was stuck in her throat as if unable to answer, she looked at Baitao's bare feet, which were wrapped with three circles of gold chains, like a prisoner, "Little master, who gave this to you?" Did you put it on?"

Baitao hid back, "No, this is a decoration."

Rui'er is so clever, she stands still and looks at her and doesn't speak anymore.

Baitao said, "How have you been these two days, no one dares to make things difficult for you, right?"

"No." Rui'er shook her head, "These people in the palace, their eyes are all colored, they know that the slaves are the young masters, so how dare they criticize them, it's you, the young master."

She looked at her ankles, bit her lips, "I know that this servant has followed the master. The master is like a free bird in the sky, flying wherever he wants, and stopping wherever he wants." , so bound, the little master must be uncomfortable."

"I'm fine, I have enough to eat and some clothes." Baitao asked her to sit down to eat some snacks, and said relaxedly, "Let's not talk about it, you are hungry, you should get up and have a taste, one bite of the golden crab roe bun, It's just that the crabs are not fat now, and when autumn comes, it's a good time to eat crabs. There are also donkey rolls made of glutinous rice, which you like to eat..."

Rui'er held the snack she handed her, tears fell drop by drop, biting the crab roe bun, she sniffed, "Little master—don't blame your majesty."

"No blame."

Baitao stretched out her hand to pinch her round face, and found that she was not as sensual as before, "What is the blame, it's just you, I just hope that you don't blame me, and you eat more to make up for the past few days."

She held her chopsticks again.

Rui'er was still miserable, with tears streaming down her face.

Seeing her Qi Wan look, Baitao put down her chopsticks and said, "You are also a harem mistress, crying like this, what prestige do you have to suppress those palace people who jumped into the palace."

Rui'er was awakened by these words, she swallowed her snacks, and forced herself to calm down: "Yes, now the only one who can help the little master is the slave girl, the slave girl must cheer up, and don't let other scumbags let Xianyang City The noble ladies in the house are watching the joke."

Baitao pursed her lips: "What jokes can I tell? As long as I don't think it's a joke, others will think I'm a joke. As a mortal, if you think too much, it's easy to look bad."

"Yes, the young master is absolutely right!"

Ruier said firmly, "Even if the state of Zheng is a Korean masterpiece, so what, little master, you don't know, you have nothing to do with the little master, you are still the No. point."

"What is careful work, what is pointing?"

Baitao just frightened her with a straight face, but the more she listened, the more fascinated she became.

Rui'er said angrily: "Little master, you don't know that during the time when the servant was in the water prison, many people fell into trouble with the servant."

"It is said that you were favored by the princess because your elder brother saved the life of the first emperor, and you were favored by the king of Qin because of your childhood sweetheart with the king of Qin. You also introduced rare water workers and were valued by the previous court. Even the king of Qin can't keep you if you are jealous."

"You also said, little master, that you violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Under the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the law is merciless. I'm afraid you will be exiled. Pooh! A bunch of dogs with bad teeth, they just know how to bark!"

Baitao: "What?!"

She didn't know anything about this matter. When did Zheng Guo's stupid beaver demon get caught as a spy after he came back?

"Little master, don't feel bad, woo woo woo... Who would have thought of such a thing."

It wasn't long before Rui'er finished fighting, her eyes were red again.

Baitao opened her eyes and calmed down: "Don't cry, don't cry, what happened to Zheng Guo, please tell me the whole story carefully first."

"Little master, don't you know about this?"

Rui'er stared at the gold chain on her feet, "Your Majesty tied you up like this, it's your Majesty's good intentions."

She continued, "This matter is related to the country's water conservancy, and the whole country's affairs are of great importance. In just one night, there was such a commotion in the Qin State that it was like a catastrophe. No matter which country hates subtle work, many people were found in the Zheng State Mansion. Letters to and from South Korea don’t even need to be tried, and they are sent directly to Xianyang Prison.”

Baitao: "Where did he get the letters from Korea?"

"Zheng Guo is Korean, there is no need to suspect that."

"..."

Baitao only remembered that after Zheng Guo became his goblin younger brother, he would often open his teeth, revealing the neat glutinous rice, and then shouted at other aunts and aunts.

He doesn't look like a duplicitous goblin, does he?

Baitao asked again: "What will happen if he is sent to Xianyang Imperial Prison? Will he be punished with a rod, tattooed on his face or nose, or will he be forced to work in ocher clothes?"

Ruier shook her head.

It's still too light. After Shang Yang's reform, under the strict Qin law, even throwing ashes on the road will be stabbed and disfigured, let alone the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Rui'er said with a crying voice: "Little master, don't panic, even if you lose your favor and trust for a while, it is only temporary. It's your fault, you have long been the Queen in the heart of this servant, and now after King Qin's coronation ceremony, the servant will not recognize whoever will be the queen."

Baitao: "."

She really didn't care about this, but seeing Rui'er's starry face crying like a cat, Bai Tao couldn't help but say, "Oh, then don't cry, you should eat enough before crying."

Rui'er choked, seeing the little Zhu'er who was so reckless and unwilling to fight, she was so anxious that she shed two more wide-faced tears.

Seeing Rui'er crying and finishing her meal, Baitao finally sent her out, after thinking about it for a while, she dragged the gold chain close to the window casement by herself.

Zheng Guo was found out as a spy?
Who told the secret, who moved so quickly, how did they find out, and whether it was informed by someone from South Korea, or someone from Qin State was pushing it.

What do these people want to do.

Someone behind.

purpose.

Baitao was in a mess, and from time to time flashed the beaver squatting miserable in the prison, she frowned again, and looked up at the vast blue sky outside.

No matter what, the life of a beaver must be saved first.

She made a gesture with her fingers, and a wisp of red smoke fluttered out from her fingertips, like a woman swaying her waist lightly, soaring upwards.Avoided the eyeliner of countless surveillance.

Immediately afterwards, a falcon galloped down from the sky, as fast as a speck of black ink. In the blink of an eye, only the fluctuation of the air flow disappeared.

"jingle—"

The wind blows, and the palace bell sways.

Under the eaves of the palace, she continued to look at the boundless sky outside by the window. After sending out the letter in her hand, she pulled the window, flipped her sleeves, and sank into the palace of countless dreams and empty words.

*
Seven days later, it will be the coronation ceremony to be held in Yongcheng, the proud son of Great Qin, King Qin.

King Qin, after being crowned at the age of 22, can wear a sword and tie his hair.

Adding a crown represents pro-government.

In the state of Qin, the officials who have been surrounding Lu Xiang Lu Buwei for mediation all have a keen sense of smell that the king of Qin is not a fledgling, he is a winged eagle, and sooner or later he will show his claws and beak, unstoppable counterattack.

Sooner, but never later.

Therefore, after arresting Zheng Guoxizuo, according to Qin State's consecutive seat system, the little white peach master in the palace should also be sent to the dungeon to be punished as a crime.

The ministers usually quacked like flopping ducks at court meetings, but now they were as quiet as a flock of chirping chicks.

No one dared to say a word about King Qin's heart and soul.

At the time of the turmoil, King Qin will definitely make drastic reforms.

They dare to say more now, because they think the official position is too secure, and they are going to give it to King Qin?

Even Lu Xiang didn't have much reaction to the fact that Zheng Guo is South Korea. .”

After this half-explaining and half-admonition, the young Qin King sat on the throne and didn't speak for a long time.

For so many years, the officials of the Qin State have long been accustomed to getting along and working together with their monarchs and ministers as teachers, students and friends.

But now, when King Qin is about to spread his wings and fly high, maybe King Qin wants to hear a different voice.

Li Si came out from the end, held the fluorene board, and said respectfully: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Ying Zheng: "Speak."

Li Si bowed his waist and said: "Si is a foreign minister, so I shouldn't have said more nonsense, but—" before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gang Chengjun Cai Ze with a squeak, "Shouldn't be absurd Don't speak nonsense."

Li Si arched his back, very embarrassed.

Cai Ze clasped his hands and lowered his eyebrows: "I have something to say, since Zheng Guo was originally a plan of South Korea and tired of Qin's plan, but a few years ago he stopped the flood for Qin and avoided the loss of thousands of old Qin people. , it is conceivable that Zheng Guo is not such a selfish and narrow-minded person, and the prime minister's words are very reasonable."

They don't even want to cover up.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

Li Si straightened his back, and finally spoke with a bit of criticism: "Mr. Gang Cheng's words, I don't agree with you. You know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart, you know the skin, you know the outside, but you don't know the inside. I don't know that Zheng Guo's water drainage a few years ago was not a trick to blind the eyes. According to the minister's words, he should be imprisoned for a few days, and then bring Zheng Guo's family members to order him."

"The cock has already started to crow, isn't Li Tingwei still dozing off?"

Ling Yi, a supporter of Lu Buwei, retorted, "Zheng Guo entered Qin alone, and the rest of the details are unknown. How can he bring his family to order the princes?"

Ling Yi said again: "Thousands of gold can be moved, but talents are hard to find. According to what Li Tingwei said, all talents from other countries who want to work in the Qin State must go to Xianyang Zhao Prison to shut down their families. Escorted? Li Tingwei, what about your family?"

Li Si looked into King Qin's sharp eyes, but he was calm: "Zheng Guo is a masterpiece of South Korea, one yard is equal to one yard, and the top of the city can't be said to be the end. Why are you talking about the same thing? If Zheng Guo used a thunderbolt Lightning, bring down the national power of the Great Qin, how big are your heads enough to cut off?"

No one thought that this astonishing tortoise could say such words.
Lu Xiang's group wanted to argue, but Lu Buwei quickly stopped them.

Lu Buwei put down his hands and looked at Li Si with wrinkled eyelids. Li Si kept his head down.He and Zheng Guo were in charge of King Qin's affairs together, they were colleagues, but he was the first one to make trouble, but he would judge the situation.

Lu Buwei said lightly, "Why are you all so noisy?"

All the courtiers were silenced for an instant, and their eyes were all on Lu Buwei, "Minister of the country—"

Lu Buwei pressed lightly or heavily on the pen in his hand with his thumb, and Ying Zheng's majestic figure was sitting on the throne majestically.

After a while, Lu Buwei slowly let go of the sword, sighed twice, and said: "The matter of Zheng Guo has a shallow foundation, although it is not involved much, but the origin is deep. Whether to build a canal is for South Korea, for Qin, and even more for the world. Changes in the situation will have a far-reaching impact, since the King of Qin has detained Zheng Guo and imprisoned him, the King of Qin must have made up his mind a long time ago, and our ministers wait for Bufan to listen to what the King of Qin has to say."

Everyone turned their attention to King Qin.

Yingzheng didn't hesitate at all: "The great talent of Zheng Guo, as we all know, Qin Guo built the canal, and everyone expected it. But if the great talent can't be used by the widows, but for the Qin country, it is just a piece of rotten wood that is hard to carve. It should be killed without pardon. Li Si !"

Li Si came out: "Yes!"

"The matter of Zheng Guo's investigation, I will leave it to you."

"Yes! Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

compromise.

Everyone has no objection.

After talking about Zheng Guo, it is the matter of Chang Xinhou Lai Ai.

This servant hiding in the Empress Dowager's palace, borrowing the power of the Empress Dowager, is arrogant and domineering, and looks like no one in the court. It is really as disgusting as swallowing a fly and eating a rotten egg. .

Others are studying hard to seal their wives and sons, and they don't know how many years of hard work before they are able to give advice in the court.

He's a country guy who came out of nowhere, and he made a name for himself by sleeping with women.

This this this.
Who wouldn't be jealous of this?Who wouldn't want to drag him into the water?

The boar who was born to serve the woman on the bed is rough but extremely meticulous, as smooth as a loach.

The cost of building another palace is overrun, and the overspend means that the empress dowager wants to use it, the empress dowager wants to take a vacation, and the empress dowager is not in good health, etc.

The scale of solicitation of diners is huge, the three sects of the bottom class and the gangsters gathered together to make trouble, grasshoppers jumped all over the street in Yongcheng, Xianyang, when they were young, they said that the Queen Mother likes to be lively, and when they were young, they killed them with a sword, saying The empress dowager has a purpose, and the law is merciless.

Do you have a problem with him?

Nothing.

Even if there is a mark on the wheel, he can lick it carefully with you.

The last time the King of Qin ordered the ministers to rectify the extravagance in Xianyang, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it must be aimed at Lai Ai first, and they were still eagerly waiting to kill the bird Lai Ai first. Unexpectedly, the feather of the bird was not caught. Let them do all the tail-pinching.

After eating vegetarian dishes for several days, all the officials were grinding their teeth, and their resentment was going to skyrocket.

Ying Zheng said: "Seven days later, I will go to Yongcheng to be crowned."

The officials restrained their grievances and glanced at each other.

Adding a crown means that the three mountains of Empress Huayang, Empress Zhao Ji, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei will be removed from the court hall. The royal power of Daqin is called the real Ningyi, and the king of Qin can also point to where to fight.

In fact, everyone is afraid of change. Lu Buwei's good temper, generous and benevolent government have adapted to it for more than 20 years, and suddenly changed to a new direction. I don't know what the young King Qin will do.

But at this moment, when I think of Lao Ai, that countryman is about to be pinched.

Everyone was looking forward to it in the bottom of their hearts: Hmph, I have to bear it for another seven days. After seven days, it's useless to call that red-haired bastard the Queen Mother or Mother!
