The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 838 0001, Yongcheng Salute
Standing outside Xianyang City, Zhao Zheng carefully looked at the city gate.When he left Xianyang City nine years ago, many people came here to see him off.Nine years later he returned here, but no one was waiting here.

"My lord, you are finally back."

A thin figure appeared in front of Zhao Zheng, dressed in ragged clothes, Zhao Zheng didn't recognize who it was at first glance.The voice was a little familiar, and it was only after a few conversations that I could see who was coming.It was Lu Buwei who arranged him beside Zhao Zheng back then, with the intention of monitoring Zhao Zheng's every move, but later he was only for Zhao Zheng.

"Zhao Gao, how have you been doing these years?" Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Gao tried his best to put on a happy smile, and then started coughing continuously.

Although he didn't want to make a small report on anyone, there was no one to complain about his grievances.Now that the master is back, he finally has a place to pour out his bitterness.

Zhao Zheng, who returned to Xianyang, did not return to the palace immediately, but went to Yongcheng immediately.Because it is the old capital of Qin State, the ancestral temple of Ying's family is there.

Zhao Gao accompanied Zhao Zheng to Yongcheng, and also told all the things that happened in Qin State in the past few years.The little grievances he suffered in the palace were nothing, but the palace has been in a mess for the past few years, and the veteran family of the Qin State has long since looked down on it.However, there are several old patriarchs suppressing it, so there will be no mutiny.

Lu Buwei had an affair with Zhao Ji, and Zhao Gao dared to speak out about it, and Zhao Zheng would definitely kill him if he changed someone else.In addition, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji is no longer in Xianyang City, saying that it is uncomfortable to stay in Xianyang City, and moved to Yongcheng three years ago.

There is another person, Zhao Gao, who has to be mentioned. This person has known Zhao Ji in Zhao State, and later Lu Buwei sent him to the palace.This person's name is Lai Ai, and he is now accompanying the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.Moreover, not only did he go to Yongcheng with Zhao Ji three years ago, he was also conferred the title of Marquis of Changxin.

According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, eunuchs are not allowed to be canonized official positions, let alone marquises.Not only that, but it is rumored that Lai Ai has attracted many people in Yongcheng over the years.

Lai Ai and Zhao Ji lived in the Li Palace in Yongcheng. Changxin Hou Lai Ai relied on the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and now she has become the biggest force in Daqin besides Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

After going to Yongcheng to worship the ancestral temple, Zhao Zheng's carriage left the palace but did not enter.He didn't want to meet his queen mother Zhao Ji, but he saw Changxin Hou Laiai's carriage on the way.Although Yongcheng is no longer the capital of the Great Qin, it was the century-old capital of the Great Qin after all.Three carriages driving side by side on the main road didn't feel crowded, and wherever Chang Xinhou's carriage went, passers-by and traders suffered.

Zhao Zheng signaled the groom to stop, and then watched all this quietly at a corner.Chang Xin Hou Lai Ai stepped out of the carriage, and then laughed wildly at the people who pointed at him and scolded him.He even boasted that he was the fake father of Qin Wang Zhao Zheng.In Yongcheng, he can walk sideways, and drag out and chop anyone who doesn't like it.

Zhao Zheng was about to rush forward to teach this arrogant guy a lesson, but was still stopped by Zhao Gao.Because there is no one around Zhao Zheng to protect him at the moment, if Lai Ai becomes malicious, good or bad will be unpredictable.

Zhao Zheng, who suppressed the fire, returned to Xianyang and met Lu Buwei and all the ministers.But before meeting Lu Buwei, Zhao Zheng first went to meet the patriarchs of several old clans in Qin.

Qin State has an organization that specializes in collecting intelligence, called Skynet.Zhao Zheng was in another country, but he already knew what happened in Qin.

At the beginning, he decided to travel, the main reason was to see other countries with his own eyes, and another reason was his mother Zhao Ji.He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, so how could he not know the ridiculous things his mother Zhao Ji did in Zhao country.

Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji and Lao Ai, and those ministers.Zhao Zheng knew all these things well, and the only one who surprised him was Zhao Gao.He didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so loyal. He suffered a lot in the palace these years.Lu Buwei turned a blind eye to him, which is why his life is so difficult.

But this can't be blamed on Lu Buwei, after all, it was Zhao Gaoxian who betrayed Lu Buwei.Lu Buwei has not changed much, and Qin is also managed by him in an orderly manner.

Now that Zhao Zheng has returned, Lu Buwei naturally wants to hand over state affairs to him.You can ask him if you don't understand anything, but since the day Zhao Zheng returned, he has never had full power to deal with anything.

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but that Qin's ancestors made it like this.Lu Buwei cannot violate the ancestral system, so what he can do is to return the power to Zhao Zheng.

The first thing is to ask Yongcheng to perform the crowning ceremony.

In the past, the empress dowager's seal was more useful than that of the king of Qin, because the king of Qin was not in the state of Qin, so there were three seals available for the classification of affairs.The first seal is the seal of the Prime Minister, the second seal is the seal of the Empress Dowager, and the third seal is the seal of the King of Qin.

Now that King Qin is back, Zhao Zheng took back the seal of King Qin, and made the seal of King Qin the only seal available.All major military and state affairs must be stamped with the seal of King Qin, otherwise they will not be handled.If someone dares to disobey, the family will be ransacked at least, and the door will be full.

To hold the Crown Ceremony in Yong City, of course such a big event needs to be done by a reliable person.On the main hall, Zhao Zheng asked if anyone was willing to recommend himself.After asking three times, no one answered, and finally had to ask Zhao Zheng to roll his name, and let Lu Buwei, Prime Minister Lu, personally supervise the matter.

The ceremony of the crowning ceremony cannot be spared, and it is also a top priority to clean up the miasma in the palace.Zhao Zheng sent people to Li Palace in Yongcheng to monitor Lai Ai's movements at all times.Skynet reported to Zhao Zheng not long ago, saying that Lai Ai seemed to be preparing for a big fight, and had assembled a lot of troops.

He has soldiers and horses under his hands, and some of them are obtained from others.But Lao Ai is not useless, after all, he and Zhao Ji already have two children.

It's a pity that he is too greedy. He not only wants to be Zhao Zheng's false father, but also wants his child to be the future King of Qin.

On a good day and an auspicious day, Zhao Zheng led civil and military officials to Yongcheng to hold the crowning ceremony. After the ceremony, Zhao Zheng will start to take charge of the government, and Qin will be in his hands from now on.

After receiving the news, Lao Ai became malicious, and then planned to kill Zhao Zheng when he was crowned.But he didn't expect that Zhao Zheng had mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses a few days ago, and directly surrounded the Taimiao.

Lao Ai failed to do this trick, and when the matter was revealed, he thought of another idea.Since Zhao Zheng cannot be killed, let Zhao Zheng know how powerful he is.So he led people to fight Xianyang, and was captured when he attacked Xianyang.

Zhao Zheng had already arranged everything, otherwise how could he hold the crowning ceremony so calmly.But I also blame Lai Ai for being unlucky to meet such an unobtrusive opponent as Zhao Zheng.

The captured Lai Ai naturally couldn't survive, and Zhao Zheng went to Li Palace alone after performing the crown ceremony.Seeing Zhao Ji who had been away for nine years, Zhao Zheng was not happy at all.
