Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 116 When the Dust Settled, Zhao Gao Reappeared

Until now, Ying Yuan still doesn't understand why Lu Buwei committed suicide.

Could it be that he really wanted to die?
He didn't understand, seeing Lu Buwei's body being placed in the coffin, he was still puzzled.

When a person dies, the coffin is closed.

Everything will be blown away with the wind.

A moment ago, Ying Yuan was still lamenting Lu Buwei's superb methods. This coup might end at any time, and both sides are in danger of losing their lives.

Now, Lu Buwei is dead.

It can be said that he died decisively.

Take away a lot.

"Old guy, it's just a concession. Don't you know how to do such a simple thing? Throughout the ages, who has won the battle between prime minister and royal power? Why are you unwilling to give in?"

Ying Yuan muttered to himself.

Zheng Yi, who knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, hesitated for a moment, and said something that made everyone ponder, "Xiangbang once said before his death that if he wants to completely hand over Daqin to the king, he must go through some hardships." .Only by polishing his temperament, in the future, the king is expected to become an existence comparable to the three emperors and five emperors, and lead our Great Qin to prosperity."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan stared at the corpse in the coffin, sneered and said, "It's nonsense!"

"Conspiracy is treason, and any high-sounding reasons to whitewash it still cannot cover up the result of his disobedience."

In the end, he sent someone to imprison Zheng Yi, and then left in a huff.

After leaving the Huayang Palace, he found Meng Wu, and instead of discussing the Bashang camp's rebellion, in order not to consume it internally, Ying Yuan made a suggestion, "They are all our Qin's own soldiers, and we should not fight desperately. We should focus on appeasement. After all, now that Lu Buwei is dead, they should not dare to continue to advance aggressively, and only the mastermind will be held accountable for this campaign."

The former also agrees with his opinion.

Is this really the case?
When Mengwu sent people to tell the news of Lu Buwei's death to all the soldiers in the Bashang camp, not only did they not give up their resistance, they even had the idea of ​​fleeing to other places and becoming king themselves.

And the envoys to the Bashang camp were also killed by them.

This incident made Meng Wu tremble with anger.

He made a gesture to personally lead the army to fight to the death with the opponent.

Stopped by Wang Jian, "Once we start a war, regardless of whether we win or lose, our Daqin will be frustrated. Doesn't General Mengwu think that the changes in this battle have killed many people in our Daqin?"

"Master, if you have any thoughts, just say it directly. In this critical period, the three armies are at your command." Ying Yuan bowed solemnly.

Wang Jian was cunning and calculated, and was able to minimize the loss in this matter.

And Meng Wu's character is a bit aggressive, so it might be okay to charge and rush, but Ying Yuan feels that he still needs to listen to the former's advice more on this matter.

"Surround and not fight." Wang Jian said solemnly: "The soldiers of the Bashang camp are, in the final analysis, the people of our Great Qin. They must not meet with their swords again. They only need to surround and not fight. When they run out of food and grass At that time, flaws will naturally be exposed, and at that time, only one elite soldier can defeat it."

Meng Wu frowned and said: "But the Bashang camp has already retreated to the northwest. If we go to encircle it at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it."

At this time, Zhu Wu came from a long way with good news, "I want to report to the Marquis, my subordinates went to Yongcheng to inquire about the situation of the two queens and the mistress. Unexpectedly, they met General Meng Tian on the way. At this moment, he has already fought against the rebel army of the Bashang camp."

Hearing the sound, everyone was overjoyed.

As expected, Meng Tian started from Yongcheng, so the current location should be the direction of the enemy's retreat.
Wang Jian blurted out: "In this case, let's fight him first. After this battle, the enemy must have no intention of fighting. We can let all the soldiers of the second battalion of Lantian and Lishan surround the enemy. Just wait for the time."

After all they said, they dispatched troops and generals to cooperate with Meng Tian's tribe to attack the Bashang camp.

Seeing that the matter was settled here, Ying Yuan returned to Huayang Palace with Meng Yi and Suzaku. The battle was over, and there were still many things to deal with.

On the way, the former asked Suzaku, "Aren't you protecting Madam in Yong City? Why are you here?"

The latter explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Ying Yuan sighed secretly: "It is probably Zhen'er's idea that Meng Tian led the soldiers to come here. It is really worth it to have such a good wife."

Huan Yu has sent the Empress Dowager Huayang and others back to their residence safely.

As for Huayang Palace, she cannot live in it for the time being.

Because Lu Buwei's body is here.

Even if the person is dead, how to dispose of his body needs to be determined by Ying Zheng after he returns to Qin.

The palace change last night is destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

In front of Huayang Palace.

Ying Yuan suddenly thought of something, and said to Meng Yi: "Anyone who participated in this battle and died in the battle, no matter the enemy or us, must appease their relatives."

The latter nodded and bowed, "Please rest assured, Lord Hou, I will definitely arrange this matter properly in the end."

Ying Yuan felt more at ease when he was doing things.

"It's all over."

Ying Yuan looked at the entire Huayang Palace, there was still gunpowder smoke, and the smell of blood was still spreading, which was extremely pungent.

Xianyang City, which had been peaceful for a long time, ushered in a baptism of blood.

It will definitely be reborn.

will become stronger than ever.

Now, Lu Buwei is already a cold corpse.

In the empty hall, there was only one coffin.

All the eunuchs and maidservants were kicked out by Ying Yuan earlier.

As for the outside of the hall, the people standing densely are all from the Lantian Camp.

Everyone is dead, and there is still such a martial law, mainly because there are still people loyal to Lu Buwei who will make trouble secretly.

"Que'er, you go out first."

Ying Zheng stared at the coffin in front of him and said seriously.

Suzaku retreated obediently.

At this time, Huan Yu appeared, and there was a young man dressed as an eunuch.

Ying Yuan's eyes fell on the former, and he said calmly: "You did a good job in transferring the Empress Dowager Huayang. When the king returns to Xianyang, this Marquis will personally ask the king for your credit."

Huan Jue bowed, "Thank you, Champion Hou Chai Pei."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan sneered and said, "You should be glad that Fan Yuqi was put to death, and Si Che's concubine Chang Ying Xi, and my uncle's uncle is also fine, otherwise, the credit cannot be overwhelmed."

The other party failed to save Yingxi, he guessed, it should be Yingzheng's idea.

Perhaps in advance, the latter had told the other party to focus on protecting the power of foreign relatives.

As for the clan, after Lu Buwei's downfall, his power will inevitably expand rapidly.

This is not a result he wanted.

After he came to power, he must want to judge the world arbitrarily, and no force should be expanded. It is necessary to balance the left and right. This is the way of an emperor.

Huan Yu bowed his head and said, "This matter will eventually have unavoidable difficulties."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Yuan, "You'd better rot your thoughts in your stomach for the rest of your life."

Huan Yu was taken aback and dared not respond.

He knew that Champion Hou was now in a state of anger.

At this time, it is better to keep silent.

"who are you?"

Ying Yuan was puzzled when he saw the eunuch behind Huanju.

The man took the initiative to cup his fists and said: "Zhao Gao, a lowly post, is a trusted eunuch next to the king, and he commands all the eunuchs in Zhangtai Palace."

"Zhao Gao?"

Ying Yuan was slightly surprised.

He almost forgot the name.

One of the chief culprits who caused Qin II's demise unexpectedly stepped onto the stage of history so quickly.

"Didn't Lu Buwei kill all the eunuchs and maidservants in Zhangtai Palace? Why are you still alive?"

Ying Yuan asked in an unquestionable tone.

This very unfriendly tone made Zhao Gao startled and his body trembled a little.

The reason was the same, it was because Ying Yuan's arrogance was too overwhelming.

"Back to the champion, I was rescued by General Huanju." Zhao Gao bowed.

Ying Yuan looked at Huan Juan and frowned, "Master Si Che, you don't want to do everything possible to rescue him, but you actually rescued an insignificant eunuch, what do you think?"

The latter replied: "This is all arranged by the king, and the humble position is just to follow orders."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Gao, "Even if he intends to save you, at that time, facing Lu Buwei's sweep, you will have no chance of surviving, unless Zhangtai Palace has not yet been captured." , you have already fled.”

He wanted to kill the eunuch.

However, when this damned eunuch spoke just now, he deliberately emphasized his tone. Daoming himself is Ying Zheng's trusted eunuch.

This gets a little tricky.

At this time, Zhao Gao has already started to be reused by Ying Zheng?

He said truthfully: "I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but it was actually because of General Huanju's prior arrangements."

This made Ying Yuan even more depressed.

"This Marquis asked you to supervise those who are afraid of the battle. You are lucky. You have already made arrangements in advance before the victory or defeat has been completely determined? What's your intention?"

"Back to Lord Marquis, in the end, it's just a precautionary measure."

Sweat stains began to appear on Huanju's forehead.

Facing Ying Yuan, both of them were terrified.

The unparalleled aura of the other party who is not angry and arrogant really makes them dare not look directly.
