"Driving!"

The driving hand was hitting the horses pulling the cart hard. In front of the chariot, hundreds of cavalrymen opened the way to lead, and five hundred light-clothed infantry jogging and marching behind them.

Your Majesty, you have to wait for the old minister! Meng Ao held the shaft of the chariot with both hands, looked at the direction of Xianyang, frowned, and was anxious. Meng Tian brought the news that King Zhuangxiang was about to be remorseful, and Meng Ao was shocked. The king was seriously ill and must not leave the center easily when the power was transferred.

Bu Xing rode a horse to follow Meng Ao, thinking a lot. During this period, he and Meng Ao and Meng Wu spent time together day and night, studied military strategies, and had some insights. Meng Ao, who was influenced by Qi culture, agreed with his Confucianism and Qin's idea. Before he knew it, Bu Xing had already placed his hope of reviving Confucianism in Qin on the Meng family. At this critical moment, the change in the throne of Qin should not affect the status of the Meng family.

In Xianyang Palace, King Zhuangxiang lay quietly on the bed, as if he was asleep.

Alas, Sima should be a living master! After the imperial physician Xia Yinyan finished his pulse, he sighed in his heart. With his years of experience in practicing medicine, he didn't understand why King Zhuangxiang had already exhausted his energy and had only one last breath left. Perhaps because he did not explain the funeral, King Zhuangxiang was still persevering with willpower. Since this is the case, why not fulfill the king's wish...

"Wuji, take the needle for your father!" Xia Yinyan took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"No!" Behind Xia Yinyan, a young man in his twenties responded. He is Xia Yinyan's son. He loved studying medicine since he was a child. When he grew up, because of his special skills, he did not join the army, so he stayed with his father to learn medical skills. Xia Wujie carefully opened his father's medicine box and took out a piece of silk cloth from the innermost part, which was covered with silver needles of all sizes.

Xia Yinyan asked his son to help hold King Zhuangxiang's head, twist out a silver needle, and carefully inserted it into King Zhuangxiang's head. In this way, the silver needles in the silk cloth bag were used on King Zhuangxiang's head, like a hedgehog. Behind Xia Yinyan, an imperial physician leaned over and looked at him, some were surprised, some were gloating, which made you brave. If the king had any problems, we would all push them on Xia Yinyan.

"Yeah..." After the last silver needle was inserted into King Zhuangxiang's eyebrows, King Zhuangxiang, who was unconscious, hummed and woke up slowly.

"The king is awake! God bless Qin!" "The king is awake! God bless Qin!"

The eunuch on duty, his sharp voice spread, cutting through the peace of Xianyang Palace.

"Transfer to the prince quickly, Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, and two empress dowagers..." King Zhuangxiang opened his eyes hard, knowing that there was not much time left, and now he is just looking back. He takes advantage of his mind to be clear-headed and quickly instructed the eunuchs.

"But the old general Meng is not in Xianyang?!" The eunuch in his close body thought that King Zhuangxiang was confused.

"Send a quick horse to Xuan, Meng Ao will not return to the palace, I cannot die!"

"General Meng returns to the palace and apologizes to the king!" Before the eunuch could move, another eunuch hurriedly ran to the bedroom outside the palace gate.

Thank God Haotian for protecting Qin! King Zhuangxiang was very happy, relaxed all over, and his spirits were much better.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ying Zheng, Lv Buwei, Meng Ao, Huayang Empress Dowager Xia, Zhao Ji and others came and knelt in front of King Zhuangxiang. They looked heavy, and they were happy or sad, knowing that King Zhuangxiang might be entrusting their own son. Zhao Ji was sad on his face, but there was no sadness in his heart. Before Qin, he had a thought for King Zhuangxiang, but when he entered the Xianyang Palace, King Zhuangxiang never favored her again. There were so many women in the Xianyang Palace, younger and more beautiful, and men always like young and beautiful women. Zhao Ji was talented and beautiful.

There is no advantage in appearance. King Zhuangxiang is no longer a strange man who is wandering in Handan, and Zhao Ji is no longer a courtesan of the lustful Lu Mansion. A woman is as thirty as a tiger. Zhao Ji was neglected at the age of the most intense lust, and she had already developed resentment in her heart. At this time, he secretly looked at Lu Buwei. After the nourishment of the rain and dew of power, Lu Buwei's face was rosy and his body was bright. After ten years, he looked younger. Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little hot, and she was eager to rush back to the bedroom and call her personal palace maid to lick it.

No one noticed Zhao Ji's thoughts. Everyone looked at King Zhuangxiang. Empress Dowager Xia snot and tears, and she cried the most sadly. King Zhuangxiang fell from her body, and was also the support of her Xia clan. She finally became the monarch of Qin, but she was about to follow the footsteps of King Wu of Qin.

"Two mothers, I'm afraid the child is not good. Take good care of Zheng'er!" King Zhuangxiang took Ying Zheng's hand, and saw that although Ying Zheng was sad, his eyes were very calm and he was not panicked, so he nodded secretly. Some people rumored that Ying Zheng did not have the blood of the Ying clan, but that the political enemy attacked Lu Buwei, or that some young master was unwilling to accept the throne. King Zhuangxiang knew best whether Ying Zheng was a descendant of the Ying clan. When he married Zhao Ji, he married Zhao Ji, he knew best.

When he was waiting, he strictly followed the aristocratic etiquette of Qin and only went to Zhao Ji three months later. Ying Zheng and Cheng Qi were three years apart. Compared with that, Cheng Qi grew up in the aristocratic circle, well-educated, handled appropriately, and deeply liked King Zhuangxiang. If King Zhuangxiang was given enough time, King Zhuangxiang would make Cheng Qi the crown prince, but he had no time. In this position of King Qin, Ying Zheng, who had experienced the tempering of survival in the streets of Handan, was more suitable.

Empress Dowager Huayang nodded slightly. When Lu Buwei, Duke Li and Cai Ze visited her, a consensus had been reached that the next monarch of Qin was Ying Zheng. Empress Dowager Huayang didn't care who was the King of Qin. On the contrary, the Queen Mother Zhuangxiang died. Empress Dowager Huayang felt relieved. She could see clearly that King Zhuangxiang became the Queen of Qin and wanted to secretly weaken the power of her lineage and vigorously support his biological mother Xia family. Zhao Ji was close to her, Ying Zheng became the King of Qin, with a half-year-old child. She, Mi, didn't have to worry about the story of King Zhaoxiang's imprisonment of Queen Mother Xuan for the time being.

Empress Dowager Xia responded, but she was quite displeased. Why were those assassins so useless that they couldn't even solve a child? Now there is only the opportunity to wait for Cheng Qi to grow up before talking.

After Empress Dowager Huayang and Empress Dowager Xia retreated, Zhao Ji also retreated. Zhao Ji was about to become the Empress Dowager, but she really had no political ambitions and just thought about how to renew her relationship with Lu Buwei. Zhao Ji was about to retreat, but King Zhuangxiang quickly called Lu Buwei forward, afraid that Zhao Ji would cry, make a fuss and hang him. Alas, the woman is so deteriorating and loves to love. King Zhuangxiang thought, it would be better for a girl to be young.

"Mr. Lu, I am a down-and-out prostitute from the streets of Handan, and finally succeeded to the throne to King Qin. Mr. Zhuangxiang has great achievements. I know that Mr. has a son Ya and Guan Zhong's talent. I hope you will assist Zheng'er." King Zhuangxiang sincerely thanked Lv Buwei for becoming the queen of Qin and appointed Lv Buwei as prime minister. Lv Buwei lived up to expectations and quickly gained a foothold. Lv Buwei had the talent for governing the world, but King Zhuangxiang could not understand it. Especially after Lv Buwei wanted to get involved in military power, King Zhuangxiang became even more vigilant. But now, Lv Buwei still needed to deal with his brothers. "Zheng'er, Duke Huan of Qi respected Guan Zhong as Zhong's father, so he had the hegemony of nine princes. From now on, you respect Mr. Lu as Zhong's father and listen to Mr. Lu's teachings more!"

"Ying Zheng, the descendant of Ying family, pay homage to Zhongfu!" Ying Zheng was young and had a strong political sensitivity. He understood that the Qin court in the future would not have the position to speak. He simply did it and kowtowed to Lu Buwei respectfully.

Human nature has weaknesses. Lu Buwei thinks that his talent in Shang is unparalleled, and his talent is comparable to Guan Zhong. King Zhuangxiang asked Ying Zheng to worship him as Zhong's father, and his satisfied vanity filled every cell in Lu Buwei's body.

"The old minister apologized to the king!" After solving a major event, King Zhuangxiang's eyes slowly turned to Meng Ao. Meng Ao knocked on the ground with his head and waited for King Zhuangxiang to surrender.

"You go out, I want to apologize to the old general!" Lu Buwei wondered why Meng Ao rushed back so quickly. He originally wanted to promote Duke Li to stabilize the center, but he didn't expect Duke Li to be unwilling to intervene too deeply in the high-level struggle of Qin, but Meng Ao suddenly returned to Xianyang. This defeat was not Meng Ao's good, but King Zhuangxiang happened to have a trick and encountered a god-like opponent like Xinlingjun. Lu Buwei couldn't admit that King Zhaoxiang was a pig-like opponent, but he thought in his heart that King Zhuangxiang's military talent was a little higher than that of the farmer who could not read big words. So, what about my military talent? Lu Buwei led Ying Zheng to withdraw from King Zhuangxiang's bedroom, yearning for being like Jiang Ziya, who could truly command thousands of troops. Lu Buwei was confident and familiar with military strategy. His military talent was not bad, but only the experience of actually leading troops.

"The old general, I regret it too late. I regret not listening to the advice of the old general. The Qin State is not ready for a war to destroy the country, so I should not rashly order the general to attack the capital of Wei." King Zhuangxiang wished to destroy the three tribes of Fan Yuqi, but he was a relative of his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xia, and one of the few generals among his relatives. In the future, he would need to balance the Empress Dowager Huayang, Lv Buwei. After all, I was the one who made the decision and could not blame others.

King Zhuangxiang was convinced, and even if Meng Ao had resentment, he could not expose himself to the king. "It is no big deal to know that he can improve his mistakes. The king is really a rare wise king in Qin, and he is comparable to Duke Xiao!"

"What a wise king, I am just a mediocre king!" King Zhuangxiang didn't know that compared to Hu Hai, he was already one of the few wise monarchs. "This time the defeat is not the general, so don't take the old general to heart. According to the military merits and titles, the old general will be reduced this time, but the position will not change. I hope the old general will do his best."

"Men's family must be loyal to death!" Meng Ao thought to himself, boy Tian was right. There would be no danger when he returned to Xianyang this time. As long as he saw King Zhuangxiang, he would probably become the minister of the orphanage. Now it seems that there is no mistake.

"Okay, the Meng family deserves the name of loyalty and righteousness!" Suddenly, King Zhuangxiang lowered his voice and looked solemn. "Zheng'er, I will entrust it to the old general!"

Meng Ao was a little surprised. He said to Empress Dowager Huayang, Empress Dowager Xia and others to take care of him, but to him, Meng Ao, and King Zhuangxiang said to him. King Zhuangxiang did not lower his attitude and did not hold Meng Ao responsible for his defeat, although Meng Ao did not have much responsibility. Meng Ao understood that King Zhuangxiang hoped that he would defend his military power and prevent Empress Dowager Huayang, Lu Buwei and others from getting involved in the army, and loyally protecting the Ying clan.

King Zhuangxiang chose Meng Ao, and Meng Tian also had the credit for Meng Tian. Meng Tian often accompanied Ying Zheng to practice swords. The two had a very good relationship. King Zhuangxiang was in detail. When Ying Zheng wanted to regain power, Ying family would stand on Ying Zheng's side.

On May Bingwu, the third year of King Zhuangxiang of Qin (247 BC), the Qin prince Chu died of illness at the age of 35. The news came out that the Qin people were compassionate and bitter. In less than five years, the three kings of Qin passed away one after another. Will King Zhaoxiang have more blessings and longevity for his descendants? Why is the lifespan of the successor so short? People from the six countries in Shandong celebrated each other and suddenly lost the intention of Hezong. The Qin people's short-lived kings all came out. The newly ascended king was just a thirteen-year-old child. The ministers were strong and they couldn't take care of themselves. The damn tiger and wolf Qin was finally defeated!

"The era of Ying Zheng has finally begun!" At Hangu Pass, looking at the orderly retreating Five-Nation Alliance, Meng Tian drew his sword and pointed to the far east, shouting loudly, "There are sharp men in Qin, who will compete with you!"

"Qin has Ruishi, who will compete with him!"

······

Menghu, Mengbao, and Ganluo responded loudly, and the Qin soldiers were infected and cheers came one after another. They didn't know what a talented and powerful king was welcomed in the Xianyang Palace of Qin!
