Chapter 7 The Two Empress Dowagers

The night was getting dark, and the guests of Huayang Palace had already left, only Cheng Yu stayed. Because of the excitement brought about by his upcoming job of supervising the army, this man didn't seem sleepy at all, but a little excited.

Different from Cheng Yu's excitement, Empress Dowager Huayang's face has a trace of oldness that shouldn't belong to her age. You must know that although she is already a grandmother, she is actually only in her 30s years old.

She was sent to Qin by Chu when she was a teenager, and became the woman of the prince of Qin, who was almost 50 years old at the time. She said that the marriage was just for the sake of being nice. She knew very well that she was sent as a gift. Qin State, but her mission is far from just being a concubine of the prince.

With the passage of time, she has changed from a young girl in the cardamom age to the current grandmother of the King of Qin, and a group of ministers who are inextricably connected with the Chu State have gathered around her.

She is the empress dowager who has a pivotal position in the state of Qin now, but she has never forgotten her father's entrustment before sending her to the state of Qin, to weaken Qin.

For this reason, she chose to support Yiren, who was a hostage in Zhao State at that time, as the successor of An Guojun, because in her opinion, Yiren did not have any great talents, and if he became the king of Qin, it might not be a good thing for Qin State.

You know, in this era, a country can prosper because of one person, such as Duke Xiao of Qin, King Wuling of Zhao, and King Qi Wei, but a country can also decline because of one person. King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Qi Min and even King Wei Hui are also the same Bronze illustration.

The facts are indeed as she expected. After Yiren succeeded to the throne, although he has repeatedly conquered the outside world, he has no long-term plan. He captured a city today and lost another city tomorrow, until he was defeated in Wei in April this year. At that time, she seemed to have seen that the state of Qin would flourish and decline under the leadership of a foreigner.

However, Yiren died at that time, and Qin had a new king.

The Empress Dowager Huayang didn't like Yingzheng, and she didn't like it very much.

If she was just the queen mother of Qin, she should like Yingzheng. She knew that Yingzheng was a born king.But she will never forget that she is still the princess of Chu State. The better Ying Zheng is, the greater the threat Qin State will be to Chu State.

Therefore, she has been supporting Chengyu all the time, hoping that Chengyu can become the king of Qin, but unfortunately, she still failed, but she can only support Chengyu.

Everything that happened tonight was within the calculations of the Empress Dowager Huayang. The position of military supervisor was Cheng Yu's only chance to get in touch with military power at this age, and training Cheng Yu was her goal for the rest of her life.

Although she also knows that even if she supports Cheng Yu with all her strength, the possibility of Cheng Yu taking that position is extremely small, but there is nothing wrong with cultivating a difficult opponent for Ying Zheng.

However, this task seems a bit difficult.

"Are you happy, Cheng Yu?" The Queen Mother Huayang asked, withdrawing her thoughts of running away.

"Of course I'm happy, that's the position of supervisor of the army. In this way, I can increase my prestige in the army and cultivate my own power. Moreover, seeing Brother Wang's reluctance but helplessness is really too much. It's fun." Cheng Yu grinned and said, as for the etiquette that he usually learns, he has already forgotten under his feet.

"You are very happy to see your brother Wang bowing his head? Do you know how to support yourself in the army?" The Empress Dowager Huayang was dissatisfied with Cheng Yu's forgetfulness.

Cheng Yu's smile suddenly froze on his face, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help sweating profusely.

"Do you understand the real reason why your brother bowed his head?" The Queen Mother Huayang repeated.

"Because of my grandmother, I have to bow my head?" Cheng Xu said, but he was a little unsure. After all, the winner left too much shadow on his mind.

"He was only advancing by retreating. He agreed, but only he himself agreed, but there is another Lu Buwei, who is a more difficult old fox." Huayang Queen Mother explained.

"So, grandma, you said so much, and even brought your sister into it, just to keep Brother Wang out of the matter?" Cheng Yu felt that he must have heard something wrong.

"Are you still happy?" The Queen Mother Huayang asked.

Cheng Yu shook his head. If Yingzheng was forced to agree, he would be excited, but the Empress Dowager Huayang told him very clearly that he paid a big price here and just let his opponent stand by. Compared with the harvest during this period, the expenditure , he didn't think he had any reason to be happy.

"What about the second question? You tell me your answer?"

"Correct corporal, let's meet each other." Cheng Yu said honestly.

"Listen more, watch more, and interfere less." The Empress Dowager Huayang said calmly, without commenting on Cheng Yu's answer.

·····
"I was fooled today, I didn't expect that old hag to be so calculating." Zhao Ji, who had already returned to her palace, said angrily.

Beside her was Ying Zheng, who was looking at the long sword in his hand. He lightly pressed the fingers of his left hand on the hilt of the sword, and there was a shorter and thinner dagger in his right hand.

"The design of the Shocking Salamander's Son and Mother Sword is indeed ingenious, and the matching swordsmanship is also unique." Ying Zheng struck the two swords in his hand, making a ring-like sound, which was extremely pleasant.

"Zheng'er, did you hear what I said?" Zhao Ji said dissatisfiedly as she patted the case table in front of Ying Zheng.

"Mother, said that she was being tricked." Ying Zheng said without looking sideways.

"Not only me, but also you." Zhao Ji was even more annoyed.

"Does the queen mother think I shouldn't agree?" Ying Zheng asked, putting down the startled salamander in his hand.

"Didn't you see the wink I gave you at that time? That was to make you refuse."

"I saw it, but it's nothing to agree to the other party, and the queen mother didn't find out, since I promised, has my grandmother talked to you much better?" General Ying Zheng stared, his forehead almost fell Zhao Ji, who bumped into her forehead, pushed away before explaining.

"Why doesn't it matter? That's the supervising army, supervising the army, don't you know the consequences of letting Cheng Yu get in touch with military power?" Zhao Ji pulled Ying Zheng's hand away, and she was always smart, but she committed a crime on such an important matter. The confused son was almost desperate.

"Although I agreed, there is still one hurdle."

"You mean Lu Buwei?" Zhao Ji regained her spirits in an instant, "Yes, there is also Lu Buwei. He is not easy to deal with. It is not easy for the Empress Dowager Huayang to get cheap from him."

"So, what are you worried about, Queen Mother, someone will naturally solve this problem." Ying Zheng reassembled the startled salamander and put it into the scabbard, thinking that he should go.

"That's true, but are you leaving?" Zhao Ji asked after seeing Ying Zheng's movements.

"It's very late." Ying Zheng stood up and said.

"Then you can stay, can't I live here for you?" Zhao Ji grabbed Ying Zheng's wrist.

"No, I'm visiting the queen mother tomorrow."

"Then you go." Zhao Ji was a little angry. She didn't know why, but she always felt that there seemed to be some gap between her son and herself, and she was no longer as close as she was in Zhao Guo.

Ying Zheng pretended not to see it. Although in his memory, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji had a very good relationship, he was not that person after all.

When Yingzheng walked down the steps, he felt inexplicably blocked. After all, a large part of the relationship is based on memory. When Yingzheng inherited the memory of the original owner, he naturally inherited the other party's feelings. He knew, Before Zhao Ji did those things, Zhao Ji was still the person who occupied the most important position in his heart.

Before Ying Zheng boarded the carriage and entered the carriage, he looked back in a strange way, and saw Zhao Ji standing at the end of the steps looking at him through the hazy moonlight.

Yingzheng was instantly overwhelmed by the emotional memory belonging to the original owner, and his body was even more rigid in the distance. Maybe I shouldn't let her down, and her expectations are easy for me to achieve.

Zhao Ji seemed to be aware of it, and hurriedly ran down from the front of the hall for a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "Why didn't Zheng'er leave?"

"It's too dark, but I'm afraid of the dark." Ying Zheng said flatly.

"Yes, you are afraid of the dark." Zhao Ji smiled.

The two of them didn't seem to see the bright moon hanging in the sky at all.
