Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Xianyang.

【Mofu】.

On the second day after returning from Xianyang Palace, Mr. Mo continued to focus on the movements of Mr. Changping and the "lineage of overseas relatives of Chu".

Older gingers are more spicy.

Without the slightest prompting, Queen Mother Huayang obviously noticed something, otherwise she would not have been able to say such 'pleasing' words to herself in Huayang Palace just now.

But unfortunately it was too late.

Lord Changping moved quickly. Although no concrete action has been taken yet, according to Ying Zheng's intelligence system, Lord Changping's people have been secretly fully prepared and can help Fusu complete the construction of the 'Zheng Guo Canal' at any time.

That alone.

It was enough for Lord Changping to sentence Ying Zheng to death.

"Da da da~~"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and then an old servant was seen walking towards Lord Mo in a hurry.

"What's wrong? You're in such a hurry." Mo Jun asked curiously.

"My lord, what's wrong, news just came from the palace that the Queen Mother has passed away."

"What?"

Mo Jun stood up suddenly and his pupils shrank.

Yesterday, when he and Xia Wuji checked the pulse of Queen Mother Huayang, Xia Wuji's pulse was a little weak, but overall it was not serious. Why did she suddenly die today?

Of course, according to the age of Queen Mother Huayang, sudden death is not impossible.

But I don’t know why.

Mo Jun always felt that there seemed to be something fishy here, but for a while he couldn't think of any clues.

The main reason is that it seems a bit too coincidental that Queen Mother Huayang passed away at this time.

Until soon.

Following a secret letter from Ying Zheng's intelligence system, after reading it, Mo Jun was suddenly shocked.

[Plans have changed. 】

[At noon today, Changping Lord Xiong Qi personally ordered the arrest of twenty-three officials involved in the "Zheng Guoqu" corruption case, fifteen of whom were officials of the "Chu Foreign Relations Lineage"...]

After reading the contents of this secret letter, even Mo Jun couldn't help but feel sour in his teeth.

"Good guy."

"This old queen is really cruel!"

At this time, how could Mr. Mo not understand what Queen Mother Huayang was planning to do.

Just say it in one sentence.

This empress dowager sacrificed her own life for the lives of brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun!

When Queen Mother Huayang called Lord Mo to go to Huayang Palace, she had obviously discovered something, otherwise she would not have suddenly thought of resolving the conflict with Lord Changping and others for Lord Mo.

So what was there to resolve the conflict? It was clearly to plead for Lord Changping. I guess he also guessed at that time that Lord Mo also played an important role in this situation.

But unfortunately she realized it too late, and Mo Jun didn't dare to accept her plea.

Although Lord Changping has not yet taken the final action, for Ying Zheng's layout, the most important thing is not what you do, but the choice you make.

no doubt.

Chang Pingjun's choice at that time had already put him into hell with one foot.

Even if he stopped in time at this time, it was already too late, and the Queen Mother Huayang obviously knew this.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Huayang immediately decided to ask Changping Lord to extinguish his relatives and arrest all those involved in the "Zheng Guoqu" corruption case.

But this alone was not enough, so the Queen Mother Huayang chose to let herself 'die' at a suitable time.

Do not misunderstand.

The reason why Queen Mother Huayang chose to die suddenly was not simply because she wanted Ying Zheng to pity her.

From the moment she saw through Ying Zheng's plan, Queen Mother Huayang knew that her old face could no longer exchange for Ying Zheng's pity, because at this time, Ying Zheng had grown into a real emperor, cold and ruthless.

But as long as she dies, Ying Zheng needs to 'maintain filial piety' for her.

During the period of observing filial piety, it is not advisable to see blood.

more importantly.

If she, the Queen Mother of Huayang, had just died, and Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, who were relatives of Chu, would die together, then how would others view the king Ying Zheng?

So after her death, Ying Zheng will not attack them for at least a short time.

This can be regarded as the "hardness" of Queen Mother Huayang.

And asking Changping Jun to personally arrest all the corrupt officials in the "Zheng Guoqu" case and send them all to Ying Zheng means that Changping Jun is asked to apologize to Ying Zheng, which is "soft".

The fate of these dozen corrupt officials was not as simple as going to jail. It could be said that they were already dead from the moment they were sent to Ying Zheng by Lord Changping.

Because they were sent to Ying Zheng to vent his anger by the Empress Dowager Huayang and Chang Ping Jun. Not only them, but also the entire "Chu foreign relatives", including the two brothers Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun, will surely suffer serious consequences this time. blow.

This is the inevitable result.

Because Mr. Changping made a huge mistake this time.

If he wants to survive, Lord Changping must pay an extremely painful price. Only by letting the anger in Ying Zheng's heart vent can he have a chance to survive.

Fortunately, this time Lord Changping was noticed by Queen Mother Huayang as soon as he stepped through the gate of hell with one foot. Otherwise, once the other foot stepped out, Lord Changping would only be dead no matter how high the price he paid.

Empress Dowager Huayang's "soft and hard tactics", not to mention others, even Mo Jun couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.

This move is truly wonderful.

To know.

Originally, even Lord Mo had already thought that Lord Changping was hopeless this time, but now after Empress Dowager Huayang's actions, although the status of the entire 'Chu foreign relatives' and Lord Changping and others will inevitably plummet in the future, at least They still have a chance to survive.

For the sake of the relatives of Chu State, the Queen Mother of Huayang of Qin State really dedicated herself to death.

the other side.

Frontline battlefield.

The battle between the Qin army and the Zhao and Wei coalition forces has lasted no less than 20 or 30 rounds. After the armies of the two sides saw each other's blood, the war between the two sides became more and more intense.

But overall, the advantage is still on Qin's side.

After all, the Qin army had strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. Especially after the army led by Ying Zheng arrived later and brought a large amount of supplies, the food for the soldiers could almost keep up with the horses.

Please don't laugh.

The food for soldiers catches up with war horses. This is not a derogatory term, but a very serious compliment.

Because in ancient times, war horses were much more valuable than people. Especially during wars, people could eat a little food, but war horses could not. Even in the worst period of the Qin Dynasty, war horses needed to ensure fodder and grain for their food. Double match.

If converted to future generations, it would probably be similar to the food standards of military dogs.

So saying that people eat about the same as horses is definitely a compliment.
