Chapter 52
What Zhao Ji thought was right, Zhao Wangdan was indeed hesitating, hesitating whether to kill Ying Zheng or not.

According to the information they got, An Guojun has already enthroned and kept his filial piety, and he will take power and become the real King of Qin when the filial piety period is completed.

Zhao Yiren, the former proton of the Qin State, who is now the Yingzi Chu, has followed him to become the Prince of Qin and the future King of Qin.

Ying Zichu himself had a bad life when he was hostage in Zhao State, and he was chased and killed by them on the way back to Qin State, so he must hold a grudge.

The new proton Yingzheng of the Qin State was also treated poorly, and he would definitely hold a grudge. If he was taken back by the Qin State to become the prince and grandson, the future Prince Qin, or even the King Qin, would be in trouble.

Zhao Wangdan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he thought that there would be two kings of Qin who hated Zhao Guo in the future.

It's just that the current situation of the battle between Qin and Zhao is very unfavorable to their Zhao country. Once Yingzheng is killed, it will inevitably anger Qin, and even let Qin Guochao take the opportunity to transfer the conflict caused by the new king's enthronement to their Zhao country, and escalate the battle. There will be another battle of Changping.

Their country Zhao really can't stand the toss. Even with Wei Guo as a potential ally, the battlefield is in their Zhao country after all. Even if the war ends, their Zhao country will be devastated.

The trauma of the Battle of Changping has not yet eased, and the next wave may destroy the country, let alone the group of rats in Yan State are still eyeing.

"Continue to send more people to watch Xianyang, and send back as soon as there is news."

Zhao Wangdan, who had a headache, could only order to keep an eye on Qin Xianyang, depending on the situation there.

Alas, even though he is the king of Zhao, he can't control many things and can't go his way.

Not to mention the headaches on King Zhao's side, there are many people in Xianyang, Qin State, who are also suffering from headaches.

boom!
"Those Chu clan thieves are really hateful!"

Ying Zichu, who had become the prince, was extremely annoyed when he punched the short table.

Although I became the Prince of Qin with the help of the courtiers of the Chu family, those courtiers of the Chu family were too greedy. According to that posture, they wanted to control the Great Qin Dynasty!
Do you want to stand alone in the future and become a powerful minister?
"Cheng Yu must not become the eldest son, otherwise it will make the Chu clan more and more rampant, and even cause dissatisfaction among the officials of Qin and even the clan. If the two sides fight, it will be difficult for His Highness to be the crown prince."

Lu Buwei also had a headache because of this, but one thing is certain, that is, Cheng Xun must not be established as the eldest son, otherwise the trouble will be serious.

In the past, he only planned to let Ying Zichu come back to be the Crown Prince of Qin and the future King of Qin, but who would have thought that the situation in the court of Qin State was far more complicated than he expected, which made him a little bit hard to get off now.

The most deceitful thing is that An Guojun handed over the court to them in the name of keeping filial piety, and let Yingzi Chu supervise the country and act as the king.

Although this is a good thing for them, it also makes them the target of public criticism. They are targeted by many people. If they are not careful, they may lose their newly acquired crown prince position, and even risk their lives.

Sorrow!

"If you don't make him the eldest son, then who will make him? The one from the Zhao Kingdom?"

Ying Zichu was still annoyed, and now he was as if he was being roasted on the fire, and he was so aggrieved that he would die.

But Ying Zichu's words awakened Lu Buwei, thinking that this was a solution.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Lu Buwei agreed with this idea. As long as Zhao Ji's child was made the eldest son, the biggest problem today would be solved, and even the Chu court officials could not refute it.

After all, that child was indeed born a few years earlier than Cheng Yu, and he was indeed the eldest son.

"wise?"

Ying Zichu was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses. After careful consideration, he was a little moved, but he also hesitated.

"He's just the son of concubine Ji. He has no status. He can only be regarded as a concubine. I'm afraid it won't work."

The key point of the eldest son is the character, Zhao Ji is just a plaything she asked for from Lu Buwei, she was lucky enough to give birth to a son, but this proves nothing.

After all, it wasn't a direct descendant, otherwise I wouldn't have given it up decisively back then.

If he is not a legitimate child, even if he becomes the eldest son, it will be of no use. A commoner is a commoner after all.

"Your Highness, please don't forget that that day, His Highness sent ministers to Zhao Ji's father to beg for a marriage matchmaker. There were three letters and six appointments. It was just because His Highness was struggling at the time, so everything was kept simple."

Lu Buwei reminded, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

"When will I let you go..."

Ying Zichu was taken aback again, and immediately realized halfway through the sentence, slapped his forehead and said, "Look at Gu's brain, I've been so busy these days."

Yes, is it up to them whether he is the eldest son or not, and whether there is a Ming matchmaker who is marrying?

The worst case scenario is to send someone over secretly to make up for the betrothal gift. I believe the father-in-law is a smart man and knows what to do.

"No Wei, make sure this matter is done properly, will...is he called Zheng'er?"

With a solemn look on his face, Ying Zichu opened his mouth to explain, but when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he didn't have much memory of that son, and he couldn't even remember his name clearly.

After all, it was just an accident with a plaything, and he never took it to heart.

"It's called politics!"

Nodding his head, Lu Buwei still has some impressions of that child, and he even gave him the name Zheng.

"Be sure to bring Zheng'er back to Xianyang safely, without any mistakes."

Continuing to give orders, Ying Zichu paid attention to that son for the first time. As long as he brought that son back, he could solve many problems and further stabilize his position as prince.

So that child is crucial!
"The minister takes orders!"

Lu Buwei bowed to accept the order and quickly exited the hall.

What Lu Buwei, who had withdrawn, and Ying Zichu, who was in the hall, didn't know was that a guard standing ten feet away from the hall was shaking his ears. I can hear you clearly.

Lu Buwei, who still didn't know that his conversation had been overheard, returned to the mansion, locked himself in the study and waited quietly.

His foundation in Xianyang and Qin was too shallow, and he could not bring Ying Zheng back from Zhao with his own strength, so he had to rely on external forces.

Without keeping him waiting, the originally bright study room suddenly became dark, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Buwei, holding a long sword with a golden hilt, which was very dazzling in the dark study room.

"Is this old man qualified to take charge of you at this moment?"

Lu Buwei was not surprised by the visitor, because it was not the first contact with him, and he had already gotten used to it. He was more concerned about whether he could control this murder weapon.

"not enough!"

The visitor responded in a low voice.

"Are you going to wait until I become the Prime Minister of Great Qin?"

Lu Buwei continued to ask, having personally experienced the power of this murderous weapon, he became more and more eager for it. He must hold it in his hand, so that he could clear all obstacles for himself.

"not enough!"

The voice was still low, and the visitor's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was planning.

"Isn't there enough Xiangguo with one person under one person and over ten thousand people?"

Lu Buwei was stunned, isn't it enough to become the prime minister?

"You need to go a step further on the basis of Xiangguo, or half a step!"

The visitor replied and stated the conditions.

Not everyone is qualified to be in charge of their web, even if it's just in person.

Even if they are not kings, they must be half kings, so that their nets can grow stronger.

"Are you thinking about the old man..."

Lu Buwei is a smart person, he quickly understood the meaning of the other party, so he was shocked by his determination.

It's crazy!
"It's not that we think about it, it's that you think about it!"

He opened his mouth to correct him, and the person who came said that this was your own idea, and it could only be your Lu Buwei's idea.

"Send this marriage certificate to the State of Zhao and bring Zhao Zheng back safely. After that, I will send envoys to the State of Zhao to negotiate with the King of Zhao. You will secretly support it."

After being silent for a while, Lu Buwei handed over the bamboo slips of the marriage letter he had just written, motioning to bring someone back.

As for the other party's proposal, he has to think about it carefully, if he really wants to embark on that path, there is no way to turn back.

The visitor didn't speak a word, and disappeared after receiving the bamboo slips, along with the darkness.

The sun shone on him from the window again, but Lu Buwei could no longer feel the warmth. All he felt was coldness, stemming from the coldness in his heart.

Do you really want to take that path?
