The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 72 Wei's conspiracy
"You guys don't come in!"

In the Qin Palace, Princess Xia had someone drive King Qin's chariot directly into the palace and expel everyone including the palace maids and attendants.

Because the King of Qin wanted to inquire about the government, he called Qiliji and the trusted clan members into it.

"What's going on, Your Majesty!?"

At this time, Qiliji didn't realize that something big had happened, but he still didn't think about it in the direction of King Qin's death.

Looking at Qi Liji and all the Qin clan members in the palace, Princess Xia was silent for a long time before she said, "Your Majesty... has passed away!"

"What... what?!"

I saw a clan member dressed in rich clothes, with white beard and hair. When I heard what Princess Xia said, I was stunned and didn't believe it.

Qi Liji naturally knew that Princess Xia was not a liar, but he still didn't believe the news.

But when Princess Xia Jiang recounted everything she had experienced in Zhou, they all fell silent.

After a long time, a clan member said angrily:

"What country did it? It dared to ambush and poison the king of a country. It is simply unforgivable!"

"How is your Majesty?"

"..."

……

Hearing the angry voice of the clan, Qiliji looked at Princess Xia and whispered: "The most urgent task now is to prevent Qin from turmoil and establish a new king!"

"The king has no heirs, so Xia decided to make Gong Ziji the new king!"

Princess Xia looked at Qiliji and said,
"good!"

Qiliji nodded, and then asked if he would send someone to take Gong Ziji back to his country. After receiving a positive answer, Qiliji finally showed a relieved expression.

Looking at Qi Liji who breathed a sigh of relief, Princess Xia realized that her father-in-law was also old.

His white hair could no longer be covered, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his originally upright body had become a little rickety.

She couldn't help but think of another uncle, Ying Hua, who had been killed in battle for a long time.

Then he said: "Uncle, after Young Master Ji returns to the country, we will announce the news that the king has passed away!"

"I thought so too."

----

Since King Qin returned to his country, nothing major seems to have happened, but there is something puzzling, because since King Qin returned, he has been living in the palace without seeing anyone else.

Even the political affairs of the country are all handed over to the Prime Minister Qili Ji.

Among them, the most anxious one is the Queen’s mother, Mrs. Wei.

I saw Mrs. Wei dressed in Chinese clothes, with a hairpin decorating her bun, in a positive posture.Act with moderation and behave gracefully.

However, at this time, she was standing in front of the palace where King Qin lived. Looking at Princess Xia who was guarding the palace, she couldn't help but glare.

"What happened to the King? Why don't you let me meet with the King?!"

Mrs. Wei questioned Princess Xia, so much so that the maids and waitresses behind Ms. Wei lowered their heads, held their ears, and did not dare to listen.

"The king has an order not to see anyone!"

"I am the king's biological mother, but I can't see you?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei even laughed angrily, puzzled by Princess Xia's actions.At the same time, she also felt that something seemed wrong. Perhaps King Qin had an accident in Zhou.

"What happened to Dang'er?!"

The Wei family was so eager that they even called King Qin by his affectionate name.

Princess Xia was silent and speechless.No one can see the king until Gong Ziji returns from Yan to Qin.

The Wei family was careful and knew that they could not let Princess Xia pass, so after going out, they observed carefully and found that only the waiters and maids secretly sent ice mirrors to the palace where King Qin lived, and they did not even send food.

This made Wei finally believe that something had really happened to her prodigal, the king of Qin.

"The king is escorted by a large army and will not leave even an inch. Why would there be an accident?!"

Sitting in the palace, Wei's face was full of sadness, and more importantly, she did not believe that something unexpected would happen to King Qin.

But there are indications that this is true.

"It must be because of the princess of Zhenguo!"

"...and that Qin general Wei Ran!!!"

The Wei family gritted her teeth. She naturally knew that Wei Ran was Gong Ziji's uncle, and the King of Qin at this time had no heirs. Therefore, as long as the King of Qin dies, Gong Ziji must be the new King of Qin!

The sadness in his heart turned into infinite anger, which was directly transferred to Wei Ran and Gong Ziji.

Then she calmed down directly, thinking carefully, and analyzed carefully, "Now Ying Xia must be waiting for Wei Ran to take the young master Ji who is in the Yan State back to the Qin State. By then, the new king will already be in the Qin State, even if the current Qin King So what if I die?!"

"No wonder I haven't seen Wei Ran return..."

Her son ascended to the throne of Qin. As the mother of King Qin, she was naturally powerful to a certain extent.

During this period, the Wei family recruited several generals of the Qin Palace, and they controlled the guards of the Qin Palace. In other words, the Wei family indirectly controlled the soldiers of the Qin Palace.

How could Princess Xia not know about this, but she did not stop it. For Princess Xia, she did not pay much attention to these things.

But at this time, Princess Xia thought of this and immediately ordered Bai Qi to make preparations secretly to prevent the Wei family from taking risks.

……

……

The Six Kingdoms united again. Among them, because of Su Qin's lobbying, the countries united again to fight against Qin.

The territories of Zhao, Wei, and South Korea are directly connected with Qin. The land of the three Jins is coveted by Qin, so they are the most active in the alliance.

The six-nation coalition forces, with these three countries being the largest, then took advantage of South Korea and went straight to Qin State to take Yiyang.

For a time, the whole world was in turmoil, and the words of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin were widely spread again. Everyone in the world swore that this time they attacked Qin, they would definitely avenge their humiliation and invade Xianyang of the Qin State!

Because the King of Qin deliberately delayed his journey back from Zhou to Qin, he wanted to buy time for Wei Ran who was going to Yan to welcome the return of Prince Ji.

So on the third day after King Qin returned to Xianyang, Princess Xia received a secret message saying that Wei Ran had received Gong Ziji and would return quickly.

At the same time, the letter also stated that Zhang Yi was old and did not want to go with him. He just handed Wei Ran a document that could be passed to other countries, especially Wei, and no one would interrogate him.

This undoubtedly gave Wei Ran great convenience. Originally, Gong Ziji was in the Yan State as a hostage and was not allowed to return privately unless there was any important matter. In fact, while he was in the Yan State as a hostage, he was not allowed to go out within a certain range at will.

Therefore, Wei Ran took Prince Ji and Lady Mi out of Yan State secretly and returned to Qin State. They could not be known by others, and even had to hide their identity along the way.

"Should be back soon..."

Putting down the letter, Princess Xia looked at Bai Qi who had just come in and was waiting for a moment. Seeing Princess Xia's eyes, Bai Qi immediately said: "Princess, all the soldiers in the Qin Palace are under your control. At the same time, there is also news about the Wei family's conspiracy." It’s clear.”

"Say."

"The Wei family may have known about the death of the king, so she started to make preparations, and believed that the death of the king was because of... the princess and Wei Ran, so..."

At this point, Bai Qi observed Princess Xia's expression and saw that Princess Xia had no reaction, so he continued: "The Wei family wanted to launch a mutiny and elected the right prime minister Qi Liji as the new king, and tried his best to prevent Gong Ziji from becoming the new king... …”

"Prime Minister You doesn't know anything about this..."
