Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Looking at the Ganquan Palace in front of him, Qin Wangzheng looked surprised and puzzled, but he still walked forward. In the morning, his mother-in-law Zhao Ji sent the appointment edict of the internal history to Xianyang Palace, where there was a Seals from Xiangguo Mansion and Ganquan Palace.

If it is just these, of course it is nothing. Qin’s current government orders come from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the seal of the King of Qin is in the hands of Zhao Ji. For an edict to take effect, it needs the approval of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Ganquan Palace finally ruled that this is the late king. Before his death, the power structure of the Qin State was constructed.

But what really surprised Qin Wangzheng was that there was nothing lacking in the imperial edict on the appointment of internal history, except for one name missing in the selection of internal history.

What does she mean by mother? While Qin Wangzheng was thinking, he had already entered the main hall.

Looking at some unfamiliar furnishings in his sight, Qin Wangzheng walked into the inner hall. After entering the inner hall, Qin Wangzheng saw that Zhao Ji was browsing a scroll of bamboo slips for the first time, and her fingers were stirring from time to time. , seemed to be practicing something by comparing the contents of the bamboo slips.

"Mother." Qin Wangzheng stepped forward and greeted her.

"The king is here." Zhao Ji put down the bamboo slips in her hands and said. There was no surprise in her expression. She seemed to have expected Qin Wangzheng's appearance.

The King of Qin thought about it for a while, but decided to get straight to the point, so he took out the appointment edict of internal history from the sleeve of the king's robe, put it on the desk in front of Zhao Ji, and asked: "Has your mother forgotten this edict?" What did you write?"

"Did the king say that there is a missing name?" Zhao Ji asked, but she never took the edict in her hand.

"Did the Queen Mother do this on purpose?" King Qin asked unexpectedly.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to guess? The Ai family has never written down their names, so naturally they hope that you will do it." Zhao Ji looked at her son, King Qin Zhengdao, with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Ignorant?" Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he had already thought of this possibility, he was still surprised when he received Zhao Ji's affirmation.

What is your mother going to do? Qin Wangzheng thought that if he was a mediocre or even stupid person, he would definitely see what Zhao Ji meant, which was just a mother's concern for her son.

But Qin Wangzheng is a smart man, and one of the few smart people in the world. Therefore, he sees very simple things as extremely complicated. Things that a mother can do, but the Queen Mother may not do.

"Your Majesty, you are already twenty years old, and it is almost time for you to take charge." Zhao Ji said bluntly.

Hearing this, even if it was a city governed by King Qin, his pupils couldn't help but shrink: What is the Queen Mother going to do?

King Qin has never been in a hurry about pro-government. He knows very well that pro-government is only a symbolic meaning. If he cannot get the power in his hands, even if he is crowned as pro-government, he will not be able to exercise the power of King Qin.

After the great-grandfather King Zhaoxiang was crowned as pro-government, the Empress Dowager Xuan and others still controlled the military and political power of the Qin State. It was not until many years later that he truly took control of the power of the Qin State.

Although the current Qin State does not have the Queen Mother Xuan, it does have Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei, and the Queen Mother Huayang.

If the power of people like Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei cannot be eliminated, even if he takes charge of the government, he will probably face a situation where it is difficult for Wang Ling to leave Xianyang Palace. In that case, not only will he not be able to take power, but Lu Buwei will be like this because of the fact that he takes charge of the government. The powerful ministers will focus more on themselves. By then, it will only be more troublesome to do something.

The original intention of Qin Wangzheng was to hide in Xianyang Palace and let all the forces ignore his existence and fight with each other. Only in this way can all the forces lose both sides and free up a lot of positions. Only in this way can he appoint people who are loyal to him and take complete control. Qin State.

But Zhao Ji didn't seem to intend to follow Qin Wangzheng's prediction.

"The Queen Mother and Father Zhong are here in the State of Qin, so I don't have to be so anxious to take charge." King Qin said conservatively, not understanding why Zhao Ji suddenly mentioned the issue of taking office.

"Your Majesty, you should know very well who the Ai family are. The Ai family can't control those people. As for Lu Xiangguo, do you really trust him? After all, he is still an outsider." Zhao Ji said meaningfully.

Things that were once thought to be commonplace, now seemed to Zhao Ji to have other meanings.

Zheng'er, after all, is still worried about me as a mother. Thinking that Qin Wangzheng's hesitation was due to his suspicion of himself, Zhao Ji felt a little colder in her heart.

Maybe, the Ai family really should delegate power, otherwise, in the end, it might end up like the unkind fathers and unfilial sons that we saw in Zhao Capital back then because of the division of family property.

"I have no such intention." Qin Wangzheng said seriously.

"Perhaps, the seal of the King of Qin in this box, and the tiger talisman of the various camps in the Qin Kingdom in this small box, are all things that should be given to you." Zhao Ji looked at the bookcase as she spoke. There are two boxes, one big and one small.

"Queen Mother?" Qin Wangzheng looked at the two boxes on the desk with hesitation in his expression. Is it really just that I am overthinking it? Does the Queen Mother really want to facilitate my pro-government?

"This is the power of the king, and it is also your responsibility, the king." Zhao Ji said.

"The Ai family doesn't understand things like power, doesn't know how to use it, and doesn't like it very much. The only thing the Ai family likes in life is enjoyment. Over the years, looking at these two things, the Ai family has spent so much money. I have put a lot of thought into it. If we continue like this for a few more years, the Ai family will have more gray hair on their temples." Zhao Ji picked up a strand of long hair and pulled it towards her ear.

Qin Wangzheng followed Zhao Ji's movements and looked at Zhao Ji's temples. There was no sign of white hair there. Not only was there no white hair, there were not even a trace of fine lines. You know, Qin Wangzheng was already twenty years old, and Zhao Ji Ji has also passed the age of thirty-five, which is not a young age in this era.

But at this time, there was no trace of time on Zhao Ji's body. On the contrary, Qin Wangzheng even had an illusion in his trance that the current queen mother Zhao Ji was as young as her mother in Zhao Capital. Even because The change of identity made Zhao Ji even more gorgeous than the Zhao Ji at that time.

"In a blink of an eye, the king is about to take charge. When Fusu was born last year, the Ai family didn't feel much. It's just that it turns out that the days of Zhaodu have passed so long." Zhao Ji said to herself.

"Zhaodu? One day, we will go back." King Qin Zhengdao was brought back by Zhao Ji's words.

The memories I had in Zhaodu back then were not very good, but among those bad memories, there were also good memories.

"The Aijia is waiting for that day. At that time, when you were only this old, you said you would conquer the Zhao Kingdom for the Aijia!" Zhao Ji smiled and made a small gesture of humanity.

"Queen mother, do you still remember?" Qin Wangzheng said with a moved face because of Zhao Ji's sudden change.

"of course I remember."

"Mother, this matter of pro-government needs to be considered in the long term." At this time, Qin Wangzheng said that the doubts in his heart had gradually been eliminated.

"The Ai family has asked Yang Ming to find Lord Changping. Tomorrow the Ai family will invite the Queen Mother Huayang. With our help, your Majesty, you have indeed reached the age of taking charge. Whether it is reason or strength, who else can Block it?" Zhao Ji said confidently.

While Zhao Ji and Qin Wangzheng were talking about pro-government, Yang Ming also took advantage of the night to come to the Changping Lord's Mansion.

Little Mi Lian, who was already two or three months old, was becoming more and more stocky. She felt weighty when she was held in Yang Ming's arms.

"The king's pro-government? I'm afraid it won't be too easy." When Yang Ming explained his intention, Xiong Qi fell directly into shock. Although the Qin king's pro-government had always been planned by the Chu clan, the difficulty was Extremely, for this reason, even though the Chu family had already turned to Qin Wangzheng, they still did not dare to show too much.

After all, the Prime Minister's Mansion is now at its peak.

Lu Buwei served as an official for two dynasties and controlled the state affairs of the Qin State for more than ten years. During this period, he defeated the unified army twice and attacked the Eastern Zhou State. The whole country is of great importance.

At the very least, the current Chu clan does not have the capital to confront Lu Buwei and the Prime Minister's Office.

"It all depends on man-made things. It's going to happen like this after all. Does it mean that Lu Xiangguo has any objections to the king's pro-government? Can the king still refuse to pro-government?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"Is this what Empress Dowager Zhao means?" Xiong Qi asked.

"Yes, it is the Queen Mother who has instructed me to come here to discuss with you, Lord Changping. Tomorrow, the Queen Mother will entertain the Queen Mother Huayang and invite the Queen Mother Huayang to jointly promote this matter." Yang Mingdao.

"How come Queen Mother Zhao..." Xiong Qi glanced at Yang Ming, but the rest of the sentence was still unsaid.

The subtle relationship between the Queen Mother Zhao and Qin Wangzheng seems normal to ordinary people, but to people like Xiong Qi and the Queen Mother Huayang who have the most contact with Qin Wangzheng, it is another matter.

Zhao Ji has always regarded Qin Wangzheng as her own son, the son who still needs her protection when he was still in Zhaodu. For this reason, although she has never expanded her power excessively, she has always regarded the regent in her hands as the regent. The power is tightly controlled, for fear of being taken away by others.

When Qin Wangzheng was still young, this was nothing, but as Qin Wangzheng grew up, Zhao Ji still had such thoughts, which inevitably made Qin Wangzheng think of many things. After all, Zhao Ji's regent power , is essentially the royal power of the Qin State. As the queen mother, she took charge of the royal power that King Qin had never held because of his young age.

Therefore, if Qin Wangzheng wants to take back the power in the hands of anyone the most, it must be the power in the hands of Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother Zhao.

It was precisely after seeing Qin Wangzheng's thoughts that the Queen Mother Huayang and the Chu clan secretly put all their chips on Qin Wangzheng.

Because they have seen that the power of Ganquan Palace cannot last long, and in the power structure of Qin State, relatives will always exist. When the power of Ganquan Palace is no longer there, the Chu family can play part of the role of Ganquan Palace.

But, now Zhao Ji suddenly wants to give up her power?

What is the reason for this?

Is it because you can't make it? Xiong Qi thought, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Yang Ming, who was teasing his daughter.

Who is Yang Ming? The chief of the left concubine of the Qin State, a general who protects the army in the palace. His martial arts is the best among his generation, and he can fight unscrupulously in war.

In the past three years or so, Yang Ming has shown more of his strength in military and military affairs. But now, Zhao Ji's sudden delegation of power is because of Yang Ming. His abilities in this regard are probably far beyond people’s imagination.
