In Qin Dynasty, the future can be expected

Chapter 4 Uncle and Nephew
Xianyang Palace.

"How is your majesty these days?"

Led by his servant, Ying Ze went to the Government Affairs Hall where Ying Zheng was located.

Hearing the question, the leading red-haired internal officer slowed down and approached Ying Ze, "Return to your majesty, Your Majesty is well recently, it's just..."

"Are you restless at Huayang Palace again?" Ying Ze said something he didn't dare to say.

"Yes."

"Hey... troublesome woman."

The troublesome woman Ying Ze was talking about was one of the two current queen mothers of Qin State, the Queen Mother Huayang.

According to the rules of etiquette, he needs to call the Empress Dowager Huayang his mother, but...

He still yelled and yelled as a child, but since he joined the army, he has basically had no contact with this nominal mother.

And after he sealed the king and opened the mansion, he directly pulled his mother out of the palace to live with him, and he didn't need to call his mother any more.

The script of his parents sacrificing heaven is not suitable for him, his mother is still alive and well, but his father died early, and he was gone after three days after succeeding to the throne. However, the moment I really experienced it, I was really dumbfounded.

The death was so sudden that I thought it would last at least a few more years.

"Is Queen Mother Zhao not making trouble?" Ying Ze asked worriedly.

Queen Mother Zhao is naturally Ying Zheng's mother, Zhao Ji, his sister-in-law.

A very capable woman.

"Eh..." The red-haired officer was at a loss for words again, he couldn't describe it.

"Why, Zhao Gao, don't tell me that she has quarreled with Huayang Palace again."

This red-haired internal official is the future edict of CRRC, Zhao Gao, but with the existence of Ying Ze, this Zhao Gao has no chance to breed ambitions.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just finished arguing with Huayang Palace last night, and she hasn't slept all night..." Zhao Gao replied in a low voice.

In fact, he tried to stop it at that time. It was something Ying Ze ordered him not to let the two queen mothers make too much noise, but he couldn't stop it.

"..." Ying Ze.

"understood……"

If Zhao Ji hadn't been a demon, she wouldn't be Zhao Ji...

……

Xingle Palace.

"You said Lord Luoyang entered the palace?"

Lying on the bed was a...beautiful woman, that's really the only way to describe her, because her demeanor is really not flattering.

"Yes, Empress Dowager, Mr. Luoyang has already gone to the Government Affairs Hall." The maid who fanned her beside her replied.

"Then why doesn't he come to my place?" Zhao Ji's tone was obviously dissatisfied.

"Queen Mother, Mr. Luoyang is here to discuss state affairs with the King..." The personal maid who has the best relationship with Zhao Ji reminded her in a low voice.

"Can't you come to me to discuss state affairs?" Zhao Ji raised her eyebrows, she is the Queen Mother after all!Also, half of the snare in Yingze's hand was still taken from her.

"..." No one answered.

Obviously they dare not say anything on this matter, saying that the Queen Mother doesn't understand anything?Don't die?
"No, since Zicheng came to see me half a month ago...he hasn't made a sound." Zhao Ji stood up, with a slightly distressed expression on her face.

"No matter how busy this government affairs is, it's impossible for him to have no time for so long, right? If he's too busy, can't he hand it over to others? Can't Lu Buwei? Even if it's military affairs, he's not the only general in Xianyang city, can't the Meng family do it?"

Zhao Ji pouted her chin, squinted her big eyes, and seemed to be thinking, but she couldn't see a trace of wisdom from her, even though she was really thinking now.

"No! I'm going to ask him."

Zhao Ji "shuddered", stood up, stepped on the desk in front of her "dominantly", jumped forward, and with her flexible waist as a buffer, she was already standing on the wooden floor, and then a gust of wind walked out of the hall.

"Queen Mother, slow down, slow down, and be careful not to fall." The maid behind hurriedly chased after her.

"Am I not slow enough?" Zhao Ji turned her head and asked the chasing maid.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty and the others are discussing state affairs in the Government Affairs Hall, it is inappropriate for you to go now." The palace lady persuaded loyally.

"What's wrong? I'm the empress dowager of a country. The old king has passed away. Can't I help? The king is my son. Can I, a mother, give him advice?" Zhao Ji said, the speed of her feet did not slow down. .

Seeing this, the palace people had no choice but to follow.

"Ready to drive!"

……

At this time, Ying Ze had arrived at the Hall of Government Affairs.

"uncle."

Seeing Ying Ze approaching, the young man in the main seat got up in time.

"Your Majesty." Ying Ze stepped forward and sat down.

The 13-year-old boy in front of him is the current King of Qin, Ying Zheng.

He is also Ying Ze's eldest nephew. In fact, the two of them are only seven years apart. Coupled with Ying Ze's operation, the relationship between their uncle and nephew is still very good.

Although Ying Ze has no intention of becoming a king, he still has to do what needs to be done.

Since Ying Zheng returned to the country five years ago, he began to cultivate feelings. First, he made a bad move and led him into the Xianyang Palace to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Afterwards, he helped him harden Huayang and confirmed the crown prince. .

After five years, the relationship between the two of them... It can't be said that they are as close as father and son, but they are not far behind.

Don't underestimate Ying Ze's ability, in order for him to have a happy retirement life in the future, he took nurturing little Ying Zheng as a milestone task!

Today's Ying Zheng is not like the original him, he has no gloomy temperament, he is a cheerful young man.

Because Ying Ze felt that the eldest nephew of the original trajectory...was a bit miserable.

It's better to let him live happily.

At least help his whole brother respect, the family is harmonious, and the courtiers are united, then he should not be so indifferent in the future.

Currently, these three small goals are progressing steadily. First, Zhao Ji's place is no longer a problem.

Then he is this brother Chengjiao, who was raised by the Empress Dowager Huayang since he was a child. It is still a bit difficult for Ying Ze to make a move.

Because the old woman actually encouraged Cheng Jiao to compete with Ying Zheng for the crown prince, this...

inexplicably.

Because she and Zhao Ji did not get along, and because Cheng Jiao was raised by her side since she was a child, this old woman...

is a trouble.

"Uncle, my father's previous strategy has failed, and the battle at Hangu Pass is inevitable."

Ying Zheng looked worried. He knew that his uncle was injured.

As for the strategy of the former king?

Prince Xiang Chu died in May, and in April, the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms under the leadership of Lord Xinling defeated Meng Ao, a general of the Qin State, on the south bank of the Yellow River, and then directly attacked Hangu Pass.

Faced with such a situation, Xiang Prince Chu used countermeasures to alienate the relationship between King Wei and Lord Xinling, in order to defeat others without fighting. Now it is almost August, but he did not expect that King Wei still trusts Lord Xinling .

"It's not considered a failure. After all, the offensive of the five-nation coalition has indeed slowed down a lot in the past two months or so. It shows that my brother's strategy still worked, but it didn't achieve the desired effect." Ying Ze replied.

In fact, he was not surprised. Although the relationship between Lord Xinling and the current king of Wei is not very good, it is not so easy to cause trouble.

"Moreover, it doesn't make sense to say these things now, and now you can think about fighting with all your strength."

"Fight, if you fight uncle, how many troops do you think you need to repel the enemy?" Ying Zheng asked.

"About 50." Ying Ze said a conservative number, although his plan would not use that much.

"50? Since Wu'an Lord Baiqi, there is no one in Qin who can manage such a huge army. Who does uncle think can be the commander?"

"..." The corners of Ying Ze's eyes twitched slightly.

unmanned?Are you looking down on me, uncle Ni?

"Uh, uncle, I'm not saying you can't do it!" Ying Zheng also saw his uncle's expression, but he didn't mean it that way.

"It's just your wounds..."

He still remembered that his mother forcibly removed his uncle's clothes last month, and the location of the wound was just a little bit off.

"Small injury, it's all right now."

Ying Ze shook his head, his injury will be completely healed within half a month.

As for what Ying Zheng said about commanding troops...

It's not because the generals of the Qin State are not capable, but because the army is also divided into factions. With the current situation of the generals of the Qin State, no one can command such a huge Qin army. The combat power of Wan Dajun was even greatly reduced.

After all, the larger the army, the stronger it is, and a general with sufficient ability is needed, but Qin has not yet had a general who can fully command an army of 50 since its inception.

Wang Jian is half, his ability may be enough at this time, but his qualifications and reputation are still lacking. Meng Ao's qualifications and reputation are enough, but his ability is not enough, especially since he just lost a battle.

If it is necessary to find such a person in Qin State, besides Ying Ze who has fought in all parts of the country and gained a reputation, maybe Lu Buwei can barely be counted as one, not because he has the talent to lead the army, but because of his previous experience. His position can well coordinate the various factions in the army.

Because he was still appointed as the Xiangguo of Daqin by Yingzi Chu, but he was not as good as before, and Ying Zheng called him Xiangfu. After all, his brothers were all there to help, so why call him an outsider?
But if Lu Buwei is allowed to lead the army, it will undoubtedly give the other party a chance to intervene in the military. Once the powerful ministers take control of the military, it is obviously not the result that Ying Zheng wants to see, nor is it acceptable to Ying Ze.

Even though the relationship between Ying Ze and Lu Buwei is very good, once the other party is contaminated with military power, the relationship between the two of them will not be as harmonious as it is now.

In addition, in the view of Ying Zheng, there is absolutely no need for Qin to fight this battle. The five-nation coalition has as many as 60 to 80 troops, and judging by this posture, it is about to reach [-]. If you fight head-on with the opponent, even if you win, It was also a heavy loss.

On the other hand, even if the five countries lose, the losses will be divided equally among the five countries. For any one of them, the losses are within an acceptable range.

In Ying Zheng's view, the previous divorce plan should be the best way.

But for Ying Ze, he must fight this battle!
Not just to completely stabilize his position in the army, but also what he wants...

Besides, in Ying Ze's view, the odds of winning this battle are actually very high, or it is basically impossible for him to lose.

Because Lord Xinling, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, has a fatal weakness, that is, King Wei. Without the support of King Wei, even though his reputation is well-known in the six kingdoms of Shandong, he has unparalleled influence in Zhao State, but without King Wei The Wei army, the armies of the other four countries would undoubtedly be tied up if he commanded them.

As long as Lord Xinling is dealt with, leaving behind the five-nation coalition forces who are alienated from Germany...
