Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 211 Three Kings in One Year

In the first year of Qin Wangzhu's reign,
After a year of mourning, the new king finally took off his mourning clothes and put on the heavy royal robe.

The crown is a bit heavy,

The clothes were also wrapped very tightly.

This made the new king, who should have been happy about his official title as king, feel a little stuffy in his chest.

And after he finished presiding over his first court meeting, he still had to deal with Madam Huayang's obsession.

Until now, this woman has not given up the idea of supporting the young master to become a beautiful woman.

She leaned in the arms of the King of Qin, constantly expressing her request in a gentle and pleasant voice, while raising her tender white hand to hand the King of Qin the wine.

In this regard, the King of Qin never refused her.

He drank as much as Lady Huayang handed him.

After all, the King of Qin also needed to use wine to shut his mouth so that he would not say anything that would make his wife sad.

But Huayang couldn't hold on any longer.

She felt that she had sacrificed so much but still failed to convince King Qin, which was really annoying!
She put down the wine glass with a "bang", and the wine splashed out and splashed on the face of King Qin.

Huayang didn't care about this and turned around and left his lover.

The King of Qin sat still, but he couldn't help but raise his hand to press his chest.

Perhaps it was Lady Huayang's attitude that irritated him.

Maybe he was too tired from attending court.

At the moment the wine splashed on his face, King Qin felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the world was spinning. It took him a while to recover.

He shook his head, getting rid of the remaining discomfort.

A servant said, "The prince has come with two princes to greet you."

This is to congratulate my father on his removal of mourning clothes and becoming king.

The King of Qin nodded and ordered his descendants to be summoned.

Ying Zichu also changed into the prince's gorgeous robes and brought his two children with him.

The King of Qin looked at his son kneeling respectfully before him, with his two grandsons sitting beside him.

He said, "...Huayang just complained that you have been visiting her less often recently."

The prince said sadly, "How could my filial piety towards my mother be diminished?"

"But now that my father has become the King of Qin and I have become the Crown Prince, how can I dare to relax on state affairs?"

"I often work until the evening, and I am afraid that it will disturb my mother's rest if I visit her too late, so I postpone the visit until the next day."

The King of Qin nodded and squinted his eyes and said, "It's good that you put state affairs first."

After all,

He felt some discomfort in his chest again and couldn't help but raise his hand to rub it.

"Come!"

He waved to his two grandsons, and he held Cheng Jiao and Zheng in his arms, one on each side, to enjoy the happiness of family life.

He then sent the prince to express his filial piety to his mother.

The two children stayed with their grandfather.

Young Master Cheng Jiao was at the age when even cats and dogs hate him. He felt that the strong smell of alcohol on his grandfather made him very uncomfortable. After being quiet for a while, he turned around and wanted to go out to play.

Gongzi Zheng noticed that his grandfather was unwell, so he massaged the tense acupoints on his head.

This made the King of Qin feel much more comfortable.

"...Do you like Cheng Jiao as your younger brother?"

Young Master Cheng Jiao ran out of the palace and had fun with a group of eunuchs.

The King of Qin listened to his laughter and suddenly spoke to Prince Zheng.

"like."

"Do you like your father?"

"like."

"Where's your grandmother?"

"I like it too."

"Do you really mean it?"

"Is this important?" Gongzi Zheng said calmly, "As a prince of Qin, isn't it my duty to love my brothers and respect my parents and elders?"

The King of Qin was silent for a while, then said with emotion, "Yes, yes..."

He closed his eyes and said nothing more, just quietly enjoying the filial piety of his grandson.

And two days later,
Madam Huayang still did not abandon or give up.

She tried to get the King of Qin drunk, causing him to speak out of turn and order a replacement for the Crown Prince.

The King of Qin drank as much as he could, but he never gave in.

And when you sober up from your hangover,
He went to court again.

The King of Qin, still reeking of alcohol, walked up the stairs step by step toward the huge palace where he commanded the world.

He was halfway there when he suddenly stopped.

The dull pain in his chest became more and more obvious. The King of Qin turned to the servants behind him and said, "I am not getting better."

Before the servant could reach out to support him, he saw the color quickly drain from the King of Qin's face.

The King of Qin closed his eyes, covered his chest, and fell down suddenly.

His crown fell to the ground, his robes were covered with dust, and he rolled down the stairs.

The servants and ministers rushed forward in horror and hugged the monarch who had fallen.

The prince came to his father in panic and looked at the King of Qin whose forehead was bleeding due to the fall.

He realized clearly:
almost,

Soon!
The King of Qin stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the prince and said, "Okay, take good care of... take good care of your mother!"

The breath is uncertain,

The King of Qin choked with sobs and then completely lost his strength.

The prince burst into tears instantly, as if he was truly a loyal minister and filial son.

But his sorrow did not last long.
He was surrounded by his ministers and heard their shouts:
"Please, Prince, ascend the throne!"

Tears were still flowing on Ying Zichu's face.

But my heart was already filled with ecstasy.

at last,

He, this insignificant bastard,
I am going to become the greatest king in the world!

The black households who attended the court together had never expected that something like this would happen today.

He cried sadly beside the King of Qin, whose warmth was still lingering, and wiped the blood off his face.

……

The old King of Qin is not rotten yet.
The new King of Qin ascended the throne again.

The complacent Ying Zichu learned the lesson that his father only reigned for three days, and he ascended the throne and changed the reign title very neatly.

The example of King Xiaowen of Qin's quick ascension to the throne also amazed his ministers.

They didn't say anything about Ying Zichu's behavior.

This is human nature.

We can’t have another “days in office”, can we?

After Ying Zichu ascended the throne, all the necessary procedures were quickly completed.

He enthroned the queen and the crown prince.

This woman Zhao Ji,

In the end, she became the most noble queen in the world.

This was not what Ying Zichu originally intended.

But compared to this woman, he values the child Ying Zheng more.

Therefore,
In order for Ying Zheng to succeed to the throne successfully, he must be his "eldest son".

And his mother must naturally be the queen.

unfortunately,

But Zhao Ji thought the opposite.

She believed that she had to become the queen first before Ying Zheng could become the crown prince.

After all, I didn't give birth to him myself.
Where did the current Crown Prince Zheng come from?
As for Ying Zichu?
snort!
This heartless man,
It is only right that he enthrone himself as queen!
If I hadn't married him, this guy would still be a hostage in Zhao State!

Zhao Ji used her limited brain to build a perfect logic, and felt that her current wealth and glory were all based on her "marrying down".

This made her even more proud.

Fortunately, her lover and children tacitly allowed her to laugh foolishly and did not expose Zhao Ji's fantasy.

after all,

Zhao Ji was just stupid.

After Ying Zichu ascended the throne, Lady Huayang, who attempted to use the Chu faction to sideline him and seize power, was the real villain!
The queen mother, taking advantage of her status as the mother of the new monarch and the instructions of the previous king, is stirring up trouble in the Qin court.

This made the Qin's ancestors in the underworld very unhappy.

The Queen Mother Xuan said, "Although I was also married from Chu, I am a Qin citizen and will be a Qin ghost after death. How can I favor Chu?"

King Huai of Chu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes! She is right!"

When I was detained in Qin State, it was Queen Dowager Xuan who took care of it!

Qin Xiaogong sighed, "Alas, Mi Bazi is the perfect daughter-in-law for me. This Huayang is really..."

He was just about to say that he had married a bad woman, but when he turned around he realized that two key people were missing.

So he asked: "By the way, where is Ji'er?"

King Wu Dang told his grandfather, "Ying Ji is beating his own son!"

"Is that so?" Duke Xiao sighed again, "Remember to ask him to hit harder!"

If Ying Zhu had not finally chosen to put the country first and not let Huayang go, I'm afraid the Qin State would have been thrown into chaos by her now!

If the "Tian family replaces Qi" incident happens again in Qin, and Ying Zhu is beaten to death, it will be a good thing for him!
