All the yamen in Bingzhou also took action, and immediately went to explore the precipitation information of various countries in the Central Plains to determine the scope of the drought.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Xianyang!" However, just as Bingzhou was actively responding to the possible drought in the Central Plains, Mo Ya hurriedly broke into the palace with a secret report.

"Bring it here!" Yan Yan knew that it was not urgent information and Mo Ya would not rush into the palace.

Mo Ya didn't hesitate and handed the urgent report from Xianyang directly to Yan Yan's hands.

This bamboo slip is very small, only as big as a palm, and it doesn't record much.

"The Queen Mother of Huayang died, and the Great Qin Dynasty stopped fighting for three years."

Yan Yan opened the information. There were only eleven short words, but the information revealed in it was too great.

As the first wife of Qin Xiaowen and Wang An Guojun, the shortest reigning king of the Qin Kingdom, the life of the Queen Mother Huayang can be said to be extremely smooth and smooth.

She was originally a princess of Chu State, the Queen Mother Mi was her cousin, and King Qin Zhaoxiang was his cousin, so it was logical that she became the first wife of Qin Xiaowen King An Guojun under the arrangement of her elders. After An Guojun succeeded to the throne, She became the queen of Qin.

"Ah?" Mo Ya, Yan Lingji and others were puzzled.

Because the Queen Mother Huayang had no children of her own, she treated both Zi Chu and Ying Zheng as her own and loved them very much. She protected and taught Ying Zheng as her own grandson.

It is precisely because of this that the only family relationship Ying Zheng has in the Qin Palace does not come from Zhao Ji, but from the Queen Mother Huayang. He also respects the Queen Mother Huayang very much, otherwise he would not directly kill Changping after eradicating Lao Ai. Jun and Changwen Jun supported him to the point where he was on an equal footing with Lu Buwei, and even after Lu Buwei resigned as prime minister, Changping Jun took over the position of prime minister.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother Huayang and the Chu clan protecting Ying Zheng, I'm afraid Ying Zheng would have died many times.

Queen Mother Xia has no political skills. Apart from having children, she has no other tricks and will not compete with her for power.

"King Qin is so courageous!" Yan Yan couldn't help but sigh as he looked to the southwest.

This shows the high status of Queen Mother Huayang in Ying Zheng's heart.

Yan Yan had no friendship with the Queen Mother of Huayang, and there was absolutely no need to go to Xianyang to express condolences in person.

"No need, let the Mo family prepare the Suzaku, and the lone general will go to Xianyang to express condolences!"

But even so, Ying Zheng was young at the time, and the three queen mothers had the final say in the entire royal family.

Because the Queen Mother of Huayang passed away, Ying Zheng actually had to observe mourning for the Queen Mother of Huayang for three years, and the Qin State stopped the war within three years!

Then An Guojun died suddenly, and her adopted adopted son Zi Chu became the successor, King Zhuangxiang of Qin. She naturally became one of the most respected queen mothers in the Qin Dynasty, although Zi Chu's biological mother was the Queen Mother of Xia , but everyone knows who is the real palace.

But after thinking about it, Yan Yan told Yan Lingji not to write anymore.

This is something no other Queen Mother can compare with.

No one expected that King Zhuangxiang of Qin would also die young, and the Queen Mother of Huayang would give away her white-haired man to her black-haired man.

Moreover, when the Qin State had occupied South Korea, it abruptly stopped the Qin Dynasty's chariot, which was originally intended to gallop, and did not choose to continue to pursue the victory.

Only Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother Zhao, began to interfere in the government affairs in various ways after the death of the Queen Mother Xia, getting close to Lu Buwei, supporting Lao Ai, and almost making the harem a mess.

"Come here, write a letter of condolence for me and send it to Xianyang!" Yan Yan did not hesitate. The Queen Mother of Huayang passed away. As a country allied with Qin, it was necessary to send a letter of condolence to Bingzhou.

Yan Yan did not explain to them that according to the latest information, the scope of this drought was very large, not only in South Korea, but also in the southern part of Zhao State, the entire Wei State, the western part of Qi State, and most of the northern Chu State.

Therefore, in the next year or even two years, Bingzhou can only get grain supplies from Yan and Qin, and because of the drought, the price of grain will soar to a terrible level.

Fortunately, Qin was not in the disaster area, and Zheng Guoqu also began to play its role. What's even more fortunate is that Ying Zheng was extremely filial to the Empress Dowager Huayang, and even ordered the war to be stopped for three years in order to honor the Empress Dowager Huayang's filial piety.

Therefore, in the next three years, Bingzhou will probably have to rely on Qin for its food supply. At least until the Hetao land is fully developed, Bingzhou will have to rely on Qin.

Therefore, he must go this time, not only to express his condolences to the Queen Mother Huayang, but also to establish good relations with Qin.

In addition, if you want to open up the Western Regions, Qin will also be a big help.

The powerful countries in the Western Regions such as Wusun, Dayuan, Cheshi, and Loulan may not really give Bingzhou face, but what if Bingzhou and Qin are added together?

The death of Queen Mother Huayang was indeed a big blow to Ying Zheng.

The Queen Mother Huayang was not his biological grandmother, but she doted on him more than the Queen Mother Xia.

It can be said that half of the credit for the young Ying Zheng being able to grow up alive in the Qin Palace must be recorded on the Queen Mother Huayang.

What Yan didn't know was that the death of Queen Mother Huayang was not a normal death.

Therefore, when Yan Yan arrived in Xianyang, thousands of households in Xianyang had already hung white silk ribbons to commemorate their king and queen.

"I didn't expect that the old man passed away, and you came here in person!" Ying Zheng, wearing a white mourning dress, knelt in front of the coffin to keep vigil for the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"This man has passed away. The King of Qin expresses his condolences!" Yan Yan also wore a filial piety belt and led a group of people from Bingzhou who followed him to salute and then exited the Qin Palace.

At least before the funeral, it was not appropriate for them to talk about other things.

But that night, Zhang Han and Black and White Xuanjian came in person.

"By the order of the king, please come to the palace to see me!" Black and white Xuanjian brought Ying Zheng's oral instructions.

Yan Yan was surprised, but he still took Shao Siming to the Qin Palace.

However, they did not go through the gate of Qin Palace. Instead, they flew up from the rope lowered on the palace wall and sneaked into Qin Palace.

"If you hadn't come in person, I would have suspected it was a trap!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

If you break into the Qin Palace late at night, your death will be in vain.

If Black and White Xuanjian had not come, Yan Yan would not have followed him into the Qin Palace.

"There is something fishy about the death of the Queen Mother. Your Majesty ordered me and General Zhang Han to conduct a thorough investigation secretly." Black and White Xuanjian explained in a low voice, and then took Yan Yan to the Ling Palace, where he also saw the mourners keeping filial piety beside the coffin in the Ling Palace. Ying Zheng.

Even though Yan Yan came, Ying Zheng still knelt and did not get up.

"A few days ago, Confucian Wen Zong Xunzi came to see the body and bones of the King and Queen Mother at my request. Xunzi once said that the King and Queen Mother were in good health and had a lot of longevity left."

"However, shortly after Xunzi left, the Queen Mother suddenly became critically ill and passed away suddenly!"

Ying Zheng lowered his head, eyes red, and spoke hoarsely, his voice filled with endless anger.

He did not believe that the Queen Mother Huayang passed away naturally and died of natural illness.

So he ordered Black and White Xuanjian and Zhang Han to investigate secretly, and also invited masters from Xunzi and Suwen Medical Clinic to personally examine the cause of the death of the Queen Mother Huayang.
