Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 131 Accidents Happened
No matter how anxious Ziying was, Li Xin led the 20 Qin army to rush towards Chu State after the suburban sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Not long after, a military report came from the front line. Li Xin and Meng Wu's troops split into two groups. Li Xin led the army to attack Pingyu, while Meng Wu and Li Xin used each other's horns and took the sleeping hill as the target. The two troops made smooth progress. All fight to win.

Li Xin's plan is very clear, from the shortest distance, go directly south to attack Shouchun, the capital of Chu State.

Hearing the situation of the battle, Ziying was even more anxious. The historical records of this period of war are relatively vague, but one thing is clear: Li Xin won first and then lost, and was defeated by Chu general Xiang Yan.

The Chu army failed to go south at all. As for why they suffered such a disastrous defeat, it is somewhat unclear.

Watching helplessly, Li Xin's route is no different from the fiasco in history.

Ziying, who had trouble sleeping and eating, entered the palace again to ask to see the King of Qin. Because of Ying's status, he was respected. After the palace guards verified his identity, he let Ziying into the palace.

It was not the right time to come, King Qin hadn't woken up yet, so Ziying had to wait outside King Qin's bedroom for a while.

Looking around, there were only a few eunuchs waiting outside the hall, and one of them was Zhao Gao who had met Ziying once in Handan.

As far as Zhao Gao's recent status in the Qin Palace can be said, it can be said that his status is straight up, because he is good at calligraphy and seal script, and is proficient in Qin laws. .

When it comes to observing words and deeds, Ziying absolutely believes in Zhao Gao's vision.

"Zhao Fuling, how is your Majesty feeling these past few days?" Ziying slowly walked up to Zhao Gao, and asked in his ear, taking out a few golden pills in his hand, and was about to stuff them into Zhao Gao's hands.

No matter who Zhao Gao was, he was the one who calculated King Qin's thoughts to the bottom of his heart. Although everyone thought that Lord Chang'an was disliked by King Qin because of the affairs of Yan, he did know that King Qin valued this nephew very much.

Zhao Gao didn't take Ziying's golden pill, but held it with the back of Ziying's hand, letting Ziying hold the golden pill in his hand.

"Your Majesty Chang'an is very polite. Your Majesty is very happy to hear the battle report from the front line recently, and even his appetite improved." Zhao Gao said to Ziying in a low voice: "Mr. Chang'an is young and promising. I also ask your majesty to support me a lot!"

"That's natural." Ziying replied. Zhao Gao's meaning was very cryptic. In short, he hoped to form an alliance with Ziying. The baby came forward.

Zhao Gao was very favored at this time. Although Ziying knew that this person was one of the chief culprits in the death of Qin Dynasty, he was unable to overthrow him. Now it is not a bad idea to use his strength to act with him, but he is not Li Si. , it is not necessarily which one will be unlucky.

"Your Majesty has already woken up, Mr. Xuan Chang'an will see you!" At this moment, an eunuch ran over with small steps and said to Ziying and Zhao Gao.

"Mr. Chang'an please, Zhao Gao will not accompany you to see him if he has other matters."

"Thank you Zhao Fuling, I will be out of the palace another day, and I will thank Ying alone."

Ziying followed the eunuch into King Qin's bedroom. Although he had just woken up, Zhao Zheng looked very energetic. Obviously, he was quite happy with his first victory on the front line.

"General Li broke the great city of Chu, and I congratulate him as the king!" Ziying first congratulated the King of Qin on Li Xin's great victory ahead.

When Zhao Zheng heard this, he was really overjoyed. A good start is half the battle. In his opinion, the end of Chu is just around the corner.

"Baby is free, are you here just to congratulate Gu?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile.

"The first thing is, and the second thing is to attack Chu." Ziying said bravely, "I ask the king to order General Li to postpone the attack on Shouchun, and stick to the two cities of Pingyu and Qiqiu with stability as the top priority."

After Ziying finished speaking, the expression on King Qin's face changed from sunny to cloudy in the visible time.

Ziying's words, in the final analysis, have the same purpose as his first meeting, opposing the attack on Chu, questioning his decision again and again, even if Ziying is his own nephew, Zhao Zheng is a little annoyed at this time.

"You know, is it the crime of rebelling against the emperor?" Zhao Zheng said with a straight face.

Ziying stepped forward and knelt down and said: "I know that it is a serious crime to disobey the king, but I have to say it for the 20 soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. , attack Chu with 20 soldiers, and you will definitely lose!"

Ziying's words completely ignited the anger of Qin Wang Zhao Zheng, especially in the end Ziying's words that the attack on Chu would be defeated was a blatant slap in the face of Zhao Zheng.

"It's a bunch of nonsense, how could my great Qin soldiers lose to the mere Jingchu barbarians!"

Zhao Zheng, who was extremely angry, kicked over the king's case in front of him. Still puzzled, he even copied a few scrolls of bamboo slips and threw them at Ziying.

Ziying lowered her head and said nothing.The eunuchs and maids in the palace were even more silent on the sidelines.

"Come here, drive Lord Chang'an out of the palace, and you are not allowed to see him without a summons!"

Under the order of the King of Qin, two guards, one on the left and one on the right, picked up Ziying and walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

These were Ziying's last words when he stayed in King Qin's bedroom.

After Ziying left, Zhao Zheng, King of Qin, was still angry. If it wasn't for the fact that Ziying was his younger brother's only child and was loyal to him, it would be unsure whether someone else would be like this.

Wandering around the garden in the palace, I happened to meet Zhao Gao who was teaching Hu Hai calligraphy in a small pavilion in the garden.

Hu Hai was Zhao Zheng's youngest son, so he was naturally favored. Seeing the lively and lovely child, Zhao Zheng's anger dissipated a lot.

Zhao Gao, who is good at observing words and expressions, naturally found that King Qin's complexion was not very good-looking at this time, so he deliberately shifted the topic to the young master Hu Hai: "Mr. The head of the princes."

As Hu Hai's teacher, Zhao Gao naturally hopes that Hu Hai can inherit the great power, so his future status will naturally rise, so he will not let go of any opportunity to show Hu Hai in front of King Qin.

Leaving aside the matters in the palace, in the evening a royal decree was sent by an eunuch to the residence of Lord Chang'an.

"Chang'an Junziying, who has repeatedly violated his wishes, deserves heavy responsibility. However, thinking that he is young and ignorant, he is exempt from punishment, and he is specially ordered to close the door to repent for a year, and he is not allowed to see guests without an order."

The audience this time was in exchange for another confinement, which was longer and stricter than the last one—a one-year confinement without seeing visitors.

However, after only two months of contemplation behind closed doors this time, it was interrupted. On this day, an eunuch hurriedly rushed into the palace of Lord Chang'an.

"Your Highness, the King urgently summons the King to enter the palace, please leave quickly."

When Ziying heard it, he immediately understood.I was grounded because I opposed Li Xin's attack on Chu, and now the King of Qin hastily sent someone to summon me, so there must be a change in the front line of attacking Chu!
