Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Mrs. Zheng took Fusu and sat back down.

On the surface.

The conversation between Mrs. Zheng and Queen Mother Huayang just now was just an ordinary exchange.

But none of the guests present today are human beings, and how could they not notice the tit-for-tat between Mrs. Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang just now.

However, what makes everyone a little strange is that Mrs. Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang are both from the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, and they are related by blood. In the past, the relationship between the two in the harem was always very good, so why did they suddenly become "hostile" today? .

Could it be that because the eldest son’s status has improved since he ‘supervised the country’, Mrs. Zheng is preparing to challenge the status and power of Queen Mother Huayang, and then take the position of ‘Lord of the Harem’?

In the minds of many guests, this seems to be the only reasonable guess.

But in fact, the real story is completely different from what everyone imagined.

It wasn't Mrs. Zheng who stopped Fusu just now, it wasn't that she wanted to do it, it was that she had to do it. The Empress Dowager Huayang just asked Fusu to go there, seemingly just for the sake of the love between her ancestors and grandchildren, but in fact the real purpose of the Empress Dowager Huayang was to keep Fusu away from Lord Mo.

Lord Changping's 'Prince Plan' is not a plan that can be completed in the short term. Once implemented, it will most likely be a protracted war that will last for more than ten years or even decades.

During the time when Yingzheng Yujia was on his own expedition, the first thing Changping Jun had to do was to plant a 'seed' in Fusu's heart.

But this ‘seed’ is not easy to plant.

If he wants to successfully implant this 'seed' into the heart of Fusu, who is still young, there are three people in Xianyang that he must not get around.

One is the Queen Mother of Huayang.

The second is Mrs. Zheng.

The third is Mr. Mo.

The first two need Mr. Changping to win over and cooperate, but Mr. Mo is the biggest obstacle.

As a censor, Mo Jun was originally a 'defense' left by Ying Zheng. If Fusu could not be kept away from Mo Jun's interference, then Changping Jun's plan would naturally be difficult to implement.

But the problem is that now Changping Jun and Mo Jun have the same official rank, and the two have fought with each other many times. Changping Jun naturally understands how difficult this seemingly young opponent in front of him is.

If Lord Changping is allowed to do it himself, he might not even be able to deal with Lord Mo by the time the frontline battle is over and Ying Zheng has returned to Xianyang.

So in the end, Lord Changping decided to ask the Queen Mother Huayang to take action.

However, Lord Changping did not tell the Empress Dowager Huayang of his plan for the time being, because although the Empress Dowager Huayang favored the "Chu foreign relatives", she might not agree to such an act that was close to rebellion.

Winning over Mrs. Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang will not start until at least Lord Changping's plan has progressed to a certain extent.

This time, the reason why he asked the Queen Mother Huayang to take action was just to persuade the Queen Mother Huayang to use the excuse that "it is not good for Fusu and Mr. Mo to be too close".

After all, with the current relationship between the 'Chu foreign relatives' and Mr. Mo, there is no need for a reason at all for the Queen Mother Huayang to take action against Mr. Mo.

What Queen Mother Yangyang did just now was just a test before taking action.

But no one thought of it.

Mrs. Zheng actually reacted so violently.

"Have you discovered it yet?"

Mo Jun sat next to Fusu, looking calmly at what Madam Zheng had done just now, knowing in his heart that Madam Zheng had seen through part of Ying Zheng's plan.

However, he was not too surprised. After all, Ying Zheng had given Mrs. Zheng many hints before this.

For example: Fusu himself received the news in advance that he was going to 'supervise the country'.

These are actually some hints that Ying Zheng sent to Mrs. Zheng and Fusu indirectly through Mo Jun.

If it weren't for these hints, how could Mrs. Zheng, who had lived in the harem for a long time, see through this chess game that even the Queen Mother Huayang and Lord Changping had not seen through until now?

As for why Ying Zheng did this?

This is probably Ying Zheng's last bit of kindness, or his ambivalence.

The chess game that Ying Zheng arranged before leaving included Lord Changping, Queen Mother Huayang, Fusu, and Madam Zheng, and even Lord Mo was included in the game.

Among the four, Ying Zheng can cut off his relationship with Lord Changping and Queen Mother Huayang.

But he could not stop his relationship with Fusu and Mrs. Zheng.

After all.

After all, Ying Zheng is a human being, not a machine.

So in this conflict of wanting to get the 'result of the test' but not wanting to see the 'worst ending', Ying Zheng finally chose to secretly give Fusu and Mrs. Zheng a hint before the test began.

From Mrs. Zheng's reaction just now, we can see what Mrs. Zheng clearly saw.

This is indeed the case.

In fact, Mrs. Zheng already had a lot of doubts in her mind after she got the news from Fusu that Fusu was going to 'supervise the country'.

For example:

Why did Ying Zheng discuss this matter with Mo Jun?

You know, Fusu was studying at Mo Jun's house at that time. When Ying Zheng discussed this kind of thing with Mo Jun, didn't he clearly ask Mo Jun to tell Fusu?

In addition, why did Ying Zheng choose to discuss with Lord Mo instead of Lord Changping?

In terms of closeness alone, although Mr. Mo has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the court, Mr. Xiong Qi of Changping is a "foreign relative" after all, and he is a "family member". Shouldn't "family members" be more trustworthy in matters like this? ?

Is this because Mr. Mo is more trustworthy?

Or maybe... Mr. Changping is no longer trustworthy?

······

After realizing this at that time, Mrs. Zheng felt inexplicably terrified.

And when she later heard that Lord Mo and Xiong Qi had been promoted at the same time, serving as the 'right prime minister' and 'censor doctor' respectively, the creepy feeling suddenly became more intense.

In the eyes of others.

Ying Zheng's promotion of Mo Jun and Xiong Qi to the position of "three princes" seems to be just for the purpose of balancing power.

However, in the eyes of Mrs. Zheng at that time, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Mo Jun's "Yu Shi Dafu" was not to check and balance Xiong Qi, but more like a layer of insurance.

After contacting some anomalies that Mrs. Zheng noticed before, an extremely terrifying guess instantly appeared in Mrs. Zheng's mind.

It was precisely because of this speculation in her mind that Mrs. Zheng made such a drastic move just now.

After all, if her guess just now is correct, it means that if she makes a wrong choice in the next period of time, she, Fusu, Lord Changping, and even the Queen Mother Huayang, and everyone may fall into a situation of eternal disaster.

This game played by Ying Zheng was too cruel and ruthless.

She was so ruthless that Mrs. Zheng felt like she didn't even recognize Ying Zheng.

Even until now.

Although Mrs. Zheng looked calm on the surface, her palms were covered with sweat.

In fact, so far, Mrs. Zheng is not sure whether her guess is correct, but she doesn't dare to bet on this game, and she can't afford it.
