My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

In the empty imperial study room, Ying Zheng had been sitting there since he watched Lu Buwei leave.

Everyone's expressions, gazes and words during the court meeting were reviewed and scrutinized in Ying Zheng's mind.

After a long while, Ying Zheng finally let out a sigh:

"Why is it that the result of every temptation I have is the worst outcome I expected?"

"Mother!"

"Isn't it enough to sit in the position of the Queen Mother with peace of mind and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth?"

Ying Zheng has now developed a certain amount of power and has certain news channels.

But Ying Zheng never deliberately placed spies in Ganquan Palace.

After all, Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng’s biological mother! Mother!

Moreover, Zhao Ji has no deep thoughts and abandons power as if it were worn out. Ying Zheng does not feel the need to spy on Zhao Ji's life.

However, two years ago, Zhao Ji prevented Ying Zheng from being crowned the official and made Ying Zheng a little more wary of Zhao Ji.

The rumors spread by Lao Ai and his urgency to go on the expedition made Ying Zheng even more wary of Zhao Ji.

Ying Zheng's toughness today was originally just a casual test.

If nothing happens in Ganquan Palace and Ying Zheng knows that his biological mother is unhappy, there is nothing wrong with setting up a guard of honor and going to see Zhao Ji in a glorious manner. This will not only give Zhao Ji face but also scare Xiao Xiao.

But the performance of Lao Ai and Lu Buwei made Ying Zheng completely convinced that there must be something major in Ganquan Palace that must not be exposed!

With the dignity of the Queen Mother, what can Lao Ai and Lu Buwei do to face a powerful enemy?

Recalling those years in the Zhao Kingdom, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with sadness.

"Is love between a man and a woman so depressing?"

"Mother, you are the wife of the late king and the mother of a widow, yet you behave in such a sloppy manner. You even abandoned your son because of your slanderous behavior."

"How should I treat you?"

Fortunately, Ying Zheng has experienced too many struggles in his life, and his mentality has been tempered many times.

After controlling his mood, Ying Zheng began to think about how to use the information obtained from this test.

While he was thinking, there was a gentle knock on the side door of the royal study.

His thoughts were interrupted, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"

A low voice sounded outside the door: "Hou Yan (yǎn) Pi Guan, please see the king."

Hou Yan is the director of the Daqin intelligence system.

Ying Zheng immediately greeted: "Pass!"

A strong man quickly stepped inside, holding a bamboo slip in his hands: "Your Majesty, a secret message from Lord Chang'an."

Ying Zheng immediately took the bamboo slips and unfolded them.

[My brother has defeated Xicheng. All the military reports are true. Brother, don’t worry. 】

[If brother can't delay, don't delay important events because of brother. With Xicheng as a basis, brother is sure to hold on until the end of the year, waiting for brother's rescue. 】

[I remember that the Qin Dynasty a year ago was united internally and externally, and all the scandals in the court were covered up. 】

[Xicheng is full of food and grass, and the brothers will continue to march, bringing some of the energy of the court to my brother. 】

[Please take care of me, brother. 】

[In addition, with the evening breeze in the countryside of Xicheng as an accompaniment, the wine and meat are becoming more and more delicious. I have tasted it on behalf of my brother, and I hope that my brother will drink with him. 】

After seeing the first paragraph of text, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile.

Ying Zheng never believed that Ying Chengyu would lie about his military exploits, and this secret letter gave Ying Zheng ample confidence.

The battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin mentioned by Ying Chengyu also made Ying Zheng understand why Ying Chengyu continued to march.

Before being crowned, all the malice directed at Ying Zheng from the DPRK and China will explode. Ying Chengyu is using foreign war to divert the energy of Lu Buwei and others.

The last seemingly meaningless words made Ying Zheng laugh out loud: "This prince brother, when he gets delicious food outside, he doesn't forget to show it off and make people greedy."

Pi Guan responded with a smile: "I will send an order to prepare the food order for the king."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "Shang Shi Ling can't make that kind of taste."

“Such a delicacy can only be cooked properly by your own hands.”

Is the barbecue delicious?

The delicious thing is the evening breeze that goes with the wine!

After restraining his emotions, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother will move to Yongcheng soon."

"I need you to transfer as many of your candidates as possible to Yongcheng, especially to Yongdu Palace."

"If I can get the secret of the Queen Mother, I will give you a generous reward!"

Pi Guan looked at Ying Zheng in shock. Seeing that Ying Zheng had no intention of taking back the order, he quickly handed over his hand: "Wei!"

After giving some more details, Pi Guan said goodbye and left. Ying Zheng greeted him loudly:

"It's said that the doctor is Meng Tian and the doctor is Li Si!"

Soon, Meng Tian and Li Si quickly entered the imperial study.

Ying Zheng covered a bamboo slip that had just been carved with clay and handed it to Meng Tian: "Meng Aiqing, you will personally deliver this letter to Lord Chang'an."

Meng Tian took the bamboo slip with some confusion, bowed and asked, "Do you need me to convey any message?"

Ying Zheng earnestly warned: "When this letter is sent, Meng Aiqing will stay in Chang'an Jun's army to help Chang'an Jun."

"If Lord Chang'an takes refuge in another country, Qing Meng Ai will return to the court in secret."

"If Lord Chang'an returns to court in triumph someday, I will tell Qing Meng Ai what to do."

Meng Tian was numb.

I thought I was just sending a letter, but in the end you pushed me to Ying Chengxiong's command?

But soon Meng Tian also understood what Ying Zheng was thinking.

Meng Tian is the eldest grandson of the late General Meng Ao, the eldest son of General Meng Wu, and the doctor of Ying Zheng. He has both family backing and Ying Zheng's trust.

Compared to Ying Chengyu, Meng Tian's words are more trusted by the military, and they also represent Ying Zheng's attitude.

Sending Meng Tian to Ying Chengyu's side was obviously to prepare for Ying Chengyu's return to the court in the future.

This was a job that he absolutely couldn’t refuse, so Meng Tian readily handed it over: “Wei!”

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si again: "Li Aiqing, go to Weiyang Lord's house and inform him of Chang'an Lord's military report."

Li Si asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want Lord Chang'an to gain Lord Weiyang's support?"

Ying Zheng smiled and asked, "Isn't that how it should be?"

Li Si nodded clearly: "A humble minister will live up to his command!"

After giving the orders one by one, Ying Zheng also stood up: "Send the order to the Che Mansion and drive to Huayang Palace!"

Sitting on the carriage, Ying Zheng rubbed his temples and thought hard.

"By taking Xicheng, Brother Wang has shown that he will not surrender to Chu."

"I don't know if Queen Mother Huayang's attitude will change as a result."

"The better Brother Wang performs, the more father Zhong will be wary of Brother Wang, and his attitude will probably change."

"And Han Cang and others..."

Ying Chengyu's attack on South Korea had too many chain reactions.

One after another, things that needed to be dealt with and considered appeared in Ying Zheng's mind.

But Ying Zheng didn't complain or be dissatisfied at all, only full of emotion.

Just a few months ago, he was still trying his best to save Ying Chengyu's life.

Now that Ying Chengyu had just escaped from danger, he used himself as a target to attract the attention and energy of all enemies and buy Ying Zheng time to prepare.

Ying Chengyu's dedication is in sharp contrast to Zhao Ji's back stabbing, making it even more valuable.

Ying Zheng smiled helplessly and warmly: "You don't even know to discuss it with me before doing anything, so that I can be prepared."

"When the king's brother returns home in triumph, I will definitely reprimand him!"

Cheese really couldn't find the official name of Da Qin's intelligence organization, so I borrowed the name from other countries. In "Zhou Li", the intelligence work is handled by "Shishi". In "Zuo Zhuan", the official title of the leader of Jin's intelligence organization is " "Hou Yan", intelligence workers are called "Hou Zhe", "Hou" internally, and "Jin spies" externally.

There are also "Hou" in the Da Qin army who are responsible for reconnaissance and spying on the enemy, so the name "Hou Yan" of the Jin State is used here. If any of the readers know the name of the Da Qin intelligence organization, please tell Cheese in the comment area. Thank you!
