I am already immortal, why should I ascend to become an immortal?

Chapter 84 Huayang Enters the Palace Again
The night wind blew through the Afang Palace.

In the Qin State in autumn, it is still a little chilly in the evening.

At this time, Ying Lou was wearing a deerskin and sitting in front of the table.

While drinking tea made with salt, ginger, pepper and honey.

While reviewing memorials that had been piling up for more than ten days.

"What a great Lu Buwei! Although he hasn't been back to the court for a year, he has promoted many of his subordinates. After Wei Yang fell ill, the position of the Imperial Court Justice was actually taken over by the young Li Si!"

Ying Lou’s expression became increasingly ugly.

In just half a year, several of Lu Buwei's retainers had already held important positions in the Qin State.

Not only was there the position of Chief Justice who oversaw the national judiciary, but there were also military positions in the camp stationed in the north.

Judging from the current situation, there is Lu Buwei with wolfish ambitions in front, and Zhao Ji and Ying Qi are eyeing him covetously from behind.

Even some members of the Ying clan quietly defected to Ying Qi.

"It seems that the dragon chair I am sitting on is a little hot!"

Standing up, Ying Lou stretched and walked to the terrace of the attic.

suddenly.

The flickering lights in the Lanshu Building caught Yinglou's attention.

"Everyone stand down!"

Ying Lou glared at the eunuchs who were busy in the bedroom, and then scolded them.

"promise!"

After all the young eunuchs have left.

On the roof of Lanshu Tower, a black bird took advantage of the night and flew to Ying Tower in a flash.

Chirp~~Chirp~~
The falcon, about two feet long and completely black, was grabbing the handrail with its sharp claws.

The two round pupils expanded and contracted, and he turned his head to stare at Ying Lou.

And on its right leg, there was a piece of thin red cloth tied.

"Red, it looks like news from Li Xin!"

Ying Lou tore off the red cloth on Black Falcon's feet, unfolded it and began to recite.

"Your Majesty, I am almost at the border of Daqin and will soon be able to enter the territory of Tang. However, I heard that Tang has closed its borders and blocked its borders a few days ago. No one is allowed to enter or leave, not even caravans, unless they have a pass!"

Looking at the lines of secret words on the red cloth, Ying Lou's eyes became sharper and sharper.

Block the border, close the door, and stop trade!
Even when the Three Kingdoms attacked Qin, it didn't need to go to this extent.

Moreover, no one had ever heard of such a big commotion in the Chu and Qi countries.

"Could it be that something went wrong within the Tang Kingdom?"

Ying Lou sat back at the table with a solemn expression, and wrote nine big characters on the white cloth in a secret language that only the two of them understood: "Find a way to pass the customs and go to Chang'an City as soon as possible!"

After tying the white cloth back to Black Falcon's feet.

The black falcon from the border, which could fly three thousand miles a day, flapped its wings and disappeared in the sky above the Afang Palace in an instant.

Flying towards the border of Daqin.

After a busy day, Ying Lou was still not sleepy, but his body was almost at its limit.

After blowing out the oil lamp on the desk, he lay back on the Black Water Dragon Couch, thinking about how to prepare for tomorrow's banquet for General Bai Qi.

You must know that Bai Qi's prestige in the Qin army is unparalleled.

Although he was demoted to Wu'an and had not led troops into battle for many years, he still firmly sat in the position of the first general of the Seven Kingdoms.

If he were allowed to take control of the military power again and conspire with Lu Buwei, the Qin State might really have to change its name.

"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you!"

Sudden.

Huayang appeared at the door of the bedroom.

But this time, she was not wearing just a transparent gauze as usual, but the dragon queen robe that belonged exclusively to the queen.

"come in!"

Ying Lou spoke softly, and roughly guessed Hua Yang's intention. Now that Hua Yang was pregnant with a dragon, the Longguan nobles could be said to be tied to Ying Lou.

Today, Lu Buwei suddenly returned to Xianyang City and killed 37 members of Chang Lingjun's family with the help of King Qin.

Moreover, he secretly invited Bai Qi into the palace without reporting it to the emperor.

Under such circumstances, the Longguan forces will definitely not allow Lu Buwei to act recklessly.

"Your Majesty, we are hosting a banquet for General Bai Qi tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

Now that Huayang is pregnant, she no longer has to worry about Yinglou's health.

She actually sat gracefully on the chair beside the bed.

"General Bai has never been defeated in his life. Although he is old, he has worked very hard for the Three Kingdoms to attack Qin. I think he is the best person to be the chief general!"

Ying Lou, who had just laid down not long ago, sat up again and spoke tentatively to Hua Yang.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the age issue for now. Today in the Qilin Palace, Lü Buwei actually set his sights on the Qinling Dragon Vein. Your Majesty, don't you know the importance of this matter?"

"Aren't you worried that Bai Qi and Lu Buwei might collude? If these two collude, your royal power will be challenged as never before, both in the court and in the army!"

Huayang frowned.

Although Ying Lou was physically weak, she knew that underneath this sickly body, there was more to it than what it seemed.

Even Huayang had vaguely sensed that the King of Qin, who could die at any time, must be planning something.

This incident was enough to stir up the seemingly calm but turbulent waters of the Qin State.

"Huayang, you are pregnant with a dragon seed now. Your Longguan clan and I are now one family!"

Ying Lou's tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Huayang with affectionate eyes and said.

"Your Majesty, I am a family to you!"

This unexpected tenderness made Huayang stunned, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Let me ask you, if Lü Buwei really wanted to change Daqin's surname, who would be the first to stand up and oppose it?"

Ying Lou continued to ask.

"It must be you, the king!"

After Huayang said this, he suddenly realized something and immediately changed his words.

"You mean the Ying clan?"

Hearing this, Ying Lou didn't say much.

It seems that Huayang has a good political sense.

In Qin, everyone knew that Ying Lou had no children and would not live long.

Therefore, Lu Buwei was not the only one who coveted the throne under Ying Lou's butt.

Ying Qi is one of them, and among the people of the Ying family, Ying Qi is definitely not the only one.

As for who else will come, that depends on who loses patience first tomorrow.

Although Ying Lou's intelligence is no less than that of all the Qin kings in history, and even better than the previous King Zhao of Qin who was known as the God of War.

But unfortunately, my health is too poor and I can only move around for a short time each day.

As a result, over the years, the royal power in his hands was gradually eroded.

Now even the dragon veins of the Great Qin Dynasty have been coveted by Lu Buwei.

If it weren't for the fact that his national fortune was the best in history, he would have turned into a pile of bones, lying in the mausoleum.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow at the court, we, the Longguan nobles, will recommend someone to you!"

Huayang suddenly spoke.

However, he did not recommend him in his own name, but rather in the name of the Longguan gentry.

The meaning of this is probably self-evident.

"it is good!"

To Huayang's surprise, Ying Loulian didn't even ask who it was, but agreed directly.
