The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 698 0006, Ying Surnamed Zhao ([-])

When Zhao Zheng's mother and son followed Lu Buwei back to Xianyang, the first thing they did was to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.Zhao Zheng is the eldest son of the Qin State. Although he grew up in Handan, Zhao State, his father, Zhao Zichu, succeeded him as the King of Qin Zhuang. His status as the eldest son has naturally increased.If not, how could Lu Buwei have worked so hard to bring him back to Qin from Handan.

Zhao Zichu has been aggrieved in the past few years, but he has nowhere to pour out his bitterness.Lu Buwei knew his difficulties, but Lu Buwei forced him to do all this.He was originally a character who was in a hurry and regressed, but he happened to meet a Lu Buwei who was very popular in doing things.But he has no right to object to anything that Lu Buwei decides.

Back then, Lu Buwei threatened to let the alien who had been taken hostage rule the world.At that time, Yiren was simple-minded and never thought that the bad things Lu Buwei said to him could become a reality.

Now he is the king of Qin Zhuang, but the power has never been in his hands.The Empress Dowager Huayang holds all the power, and Zhao Zichu, who has changed from prince to king of Qin Zhuang, is still a puppet.

He can't intervene in military and state affairs. His wife and children have returned from Zhao, so he can always decide this matter.Of course, things were not that simple. The Empress Dowager Huayang knew what Zhao Zichu was thinking, so she had already greeted the general in charge of guarding the palace.No one is allowed to enter the palace without her permission.

After Zhao Zheng came to Xianyang, Lu Buwei settled him in an inn closest to the palace.Zhao Ji always likes to chat with Lu Buwei when she has nothing to do, while Zhao Zheng goes out early and returns late every day.

This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. When he arrives in a strange place, the first thing to do is to familiarize himself with the terrain.He must be familiar with the terrain of Xianyang, because he will spend most of his life here.

At that time, Xianyang City was not too big, but its population density was the highest among the seven countries.Because the Qin State was the strongest at that time, many businessmen would go to Xianyang to find business opportunities.

Lu Buwei went to the palace every day to discuss with Zhao Zichu about Zhao Ji's mother and son.Every time Zhao Zichu made up his mind to let their mother and son enter the palace, they would end up without any problems due to the interference of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Lu Buwei can only be anxious about this matter. Although he is the prime minister, he cannot be the master of the Queen Mother Huayang.

Early one morning, Zhao Zheng came to the central city of Xianyang City alone.A grand sacrificial ceremony was being held there, and the person being sacrificed was none other than the father of King Qin Zhuang, who was Zhao Zheng's grandfather, King Qin Xiaowen.

According to the etiquette of the Qin State, the eldest son Zhao Zheng passed through the crowd, shouted his identity loudly, and worshiped at the sacrificial high platform.The people present were in an uproar at first, and then many people came to Zhao Zheng's side.They were all looking at Zhao Zheng, and many of them knew the existence of Zhao Zheng's mother and son.

They are all members of the Zhao clan with the surname Ying, and many of them are elders with high respect in the clan.Not to mention this sacrifice, even if it is above the palace hall, the ministers have to give them some face for the old people.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhao Zheng continued to announce his identity aloud, and then knelt down to salute on the sacrificial altar.Dressed in black and white cloth on her head, Zhao Ji, who came after hearing the news, knelt beside Zhao Zheng.

She wanted to drag Zhao Zheng away, but how could she, a weak woman, drag Zhao Zheng, who was already 11 years old.Someone quietly left the sacrificial altar and rushed to the palace to report the news.It was none other than Lu Buwei who went to the palace to report the letter, but Lu Buwei who wanted Zhao Zheng's mother and son to recognize their ancestors.

He had thought about doing this before, but there were too many changes in it, so he didn't dare to take the risk.But he didn't expect that Zhao Zheng ran over by himself.

As long as it can be confirmed that Zhao Zheng is the son of the eldest son of the state of Qin, he, an old man in the clan present, will not sit idly by.Even if the Empress Dowager Huayang intervenes, Zhao Zheng's mother and son will most likely have a title this time.

Zhao Zichu was very excited when he heard this, and immediately wanted to rush to the sacrificial platform to bring Zhao Zheng's mother and son into the palace.But this matter is not so simple, if the Empress Dowager Huayang does not nod in agreement, even if Zhao Zheng's mother and son can enter the palace, there will be no good fruit to eat.

The Empress Dowager Huayang overshadows the sky with one hand in the palace, and she is in charge of all affairs, big and small.King Zhuang of Qin's great seal was no match for the imperial seal of Empress Dowager Huayang, as long as Empress Dowager Huayang did not nod, Zhao Zichu didn't even have the right to mobilize a single soldier.

At the same time, Concubine Chu also felt the threat from Zhao Zheng's mother and son.As the concubine of King Qin and a member of the royal family of Chu, it should be a certainty that her son will become the prince of Qin when she becomes the Queen of Qin in the future.What's more, the Empress Dowager Huayang has always liked her very much. If it wasn't for Zhao Zichu's reluctance to die, she might have been the Queen of Qin long ago.

In the royal family of Chu, Mi's surname is Xiong's, so Concubine Chu is also called Concubine Xiong.The son of Concubine Xiong and King Zhuang of Qin is named Xiong Qi.Xiong Qi has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child, and the Empress Dowager Huayang has high expectations for him.According to the Empress Dowager Huayang's plan, Xiong Qi will be the next king of Qin in the future.

Although Qin Zhuang Wang is her adopted son, she has always looked down on Qin Zhuang Wang Zhao Zichu.In order to become a prince, he didn't even want his own mother. Even if he became the king of Qin, his mother still couldn't enjoy a day of glory and wealth.Because Mrs. Huayang forbade, Zhao Zichu's mother could only die alone.

Xiong Qi is the hope of Mrs. Huayang, as well as the hope of the entire Chu State. Most of the previous queens of Qin State came from Chu State.Mrs. Huayang and Concubine Xiong are also from Chu. If the next king of Qin has the blood of Chu, Chu will be able to go sideways among the Seven Kingdoms in the future.

Xiong Qi studied hard since he was a child, coupled with the constant reminders from Concubine Xiong and the Queen Mother, he took it for granted that he was the next king of Qin.Now that Zhao Zheng appeared out of nowhere, how could Zhao Xiongqi easily let this guy of unknown origin go.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.Zhao Xiongqi originally wanted to trouble Zhao Zheng, and the master who taught him Kung Fu should have advised him not to act rashly.But this martial arts master who was born in the state of Chu encouraged Zhao Xiongqi to find trouble with Zhao Zheng, and even gave Zhao Xiongqi several ideas.

Since birth, Zhao Xiongqi has been practicing literature and martial arts every day. In addition to reciting military books every day, she also competes with different masters.Zhao Xiongqi killed people at the age of eight, and at the age of nine, he was able to fight alone against six corporal leaders in the army.If the development continues like this, Zhao Xiongqi will definitely be a brave and skilled battlefield veteran in the future.

During this time, Zhao Zheng had been leaving early and returning late, but he remembered what Lu Buwei had said to him earlier.Lu Buwei reminded him to be more careful in Xianyang City, he felt that someone would come to trouble Zhao Zheng.Ordinary people don't have the guts to trouble the eldest son in Xianyang City.

But there is one person who is destined to be the enemy of Zhao Zheng.And this person is very powerful now, even if Lu Buwei sees him, he can only be respectful.
