Chapter 117 Unexpected Master

Lu Buwei really cared about Ying Zheng, but I don’t know if he would be heartbroken when he found out Ying Zheng’s true identity.

Less than four or five days after Lu Buwei brought his most trusted retainer Wang Guan to Ying Zheng, he brought the so-called "master" again.

Looking at the so-called "master" in front of him, Ying Zheng really couldn't control his inner excitement, but looking at the sullen Lu Buwei next to him, Ying Zheng and the "master" were trying their best to restrain themselves.

After finally getting rid of Lu Buwei, the "master" excitedly shouted, "Master"

"Ahem." Ying Zheng stopped the "master" from saying anything, and then drove away the eunuchs and maids who served him.

When only Ying Zheng and the "expert" were left in the room, the "expert" hugged Ying Zheng excitedly, "My lord, you are not dead!"

"Shanrou, what a coincidence! I didn't expect that we could be together again!"

"My lord, how did you suddenly become Ying Zheng?" After the excitement, Shanrou asked the most confusing question.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly later!

I really didn't expect that you were the bodyguard that Lu Buwei found for me!"

Next, Ying Zheng gave a detailed account of what had happened during this period, and asked Shan Rou not to mention his former true identity as Xiang Shaolong again.

"My Lord, what about the Great Elder Yuan Zong?"

"It's okay! He hasn't seen my true appearance anyway. At worst, I can just keep wearing the mask when we meet again."

"Well, that's fine! I can also help you convey the order!"

After meeting Shanrou, Ying Zheng obtained the secret records of Duke Lu and became more confident about his future position as crown prince.

The hottest topic in Qin right now is the selection of the crown prince. Even ordinary citizens know about this matter, but the laws of Qin are too strict, and no one dares to discuss it in private.

The quarrel in the Qin State Hall became more intense. After the vanguards of various factions had tested the situation, the big bosses behind them began to take action.

"Your Majesty, Prince Zheng is your eldest son and has been held hostage by Qin for many years. He has made great contributions to Qin and is the perfect choice for the crown prince."

"Mr. Lu's words are different!

Although Prince Zheng is the eldest son, his mother is just the daughter of a merchant and not the king's legal wife!
"Young Master Cheng Jiao is still a more suitable candidate for the crown prince."

Looking at the ministers discussing and arguing with each other, King Yiren of Qin knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer and it would be best to resolve it today.

"All right!
My dear ministers, there is no need to argue anymore!

This matter has been discussed for so long, it’s time to have a result! ”

"Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Call Young Master Zheng and Young Master Cheng Jiao to the main hall now, and then listen to their own ideas first!"

Soon Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao came to the hall together, and saluted Yi Ren on the throne. After hearing Yi Ren's explanation, Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao looked at each other with complicated expressions.

"Father, I recently obtained a secret record of Duke Lu and would like to present it to you!" Ying Zheng did not express his opinion directly, but instead said something else.

"what?"

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, King Yiren of Qin and the ministers in the hall all showed shocked expressions. They certainly knew what the secret records of Duke Lu represented. Even Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with surprise.

Ying Zheng didn't care about everyone's shock. He took out the secret record of Duke Lu from his arms and handed it to the eunuch who was coming over. Finally, the eunuch handed it to King Yiren of Qin.

King Yiren of Qin took the Secret Records of Duke Lu handed to him by the eunuch with great anticipation, then opened it excitedly and began to read it. After reading it for a long time, he put down the Secret Records of Duke Lu with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

"This is indeed the authentic Lugong Secret Records. Prince Zheng has been a hostage to Zhao for many years, and today he has presented the Lugong Secret Records.

He should be established as the Crown Prince of Qin!"

With the final decision made by King Yiren of Qin, Ying Zheng was confirmed as the Crown Prince of Qin, and the matter came to a successful conclusion.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and King Yiren of Qin with a complicated expression. He believed that this was all arranged by King Yiren of Qin. He deliberately gave the secret records of Duke Lu to Ying Zheng and then asked him to present it to the State of Qin, which would mean that he had made a contribution.

Cheng Jiao was too young and didn't understand the significance of today's events. Seeing his elder brother Ying Zheng become the crown prince, Cheng Jiao seemed very happy.

"Brother, congratulations on becoming the Crown Prince of Qin!"

"Cheng Jiao, you must study hard and help your big brother more in the future!"

"Don't worry, big brother! Cheng Jiao will definitely study hard!"

Looking at the two brothers who were friendly and respectful to each other, King Yiren of Qin was also very happy. At the beginning, Yiren did favor Cheng Jiao.

However, seeing how much Ying Zheng loved his younger brother Cheng Jiao, Yiren was very satisfied. He suddenly felt that if he chose Ying Zheng, it might be better for Cheng Jiao.

When Ying Zheng became the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, Yangquan Jun immediately came to the Queen Mother Huayang in anger and complained, "Sister, our King of Qin has gone too far!
He deliberately gave the secret records of Duke Lu to Ying Zheng, and then asked Ying Zheng to present it, so that Ying Zheng could get the credit!

Then we can openly let Ying Zheng be the crown prince!"

"Asshole! Mi Chen, you've really gone too far!

How can you talk about the king like that?"

"Sister, I am also standing up for you and Cheng Jiao!" After hearing Madam Huayang's reprimand, Yangquan Jun Mi Chen explained with some guilt.

"That's enough! I already knew about this!

The king has discussed this with me in advance and has decided to choose Gongzi Zheng as the crown prince!"

"What? Why is my sister so confused?" Yangquan Jun Mi Chen showed a puzzled expression.

"Humph! What do you know?
Ying Zheng actually loves Cheng Jiao very much. When he becomes the Crown Prince and King of Qin, he will definitely treat Cheng Jiao well! "

"Sister, you were deceived by Master Zheng!

He deliberately put on a front of brotherly affection, but he never expected his sister to be so easily deceived!"

"Okay! There's no need to talk about this anymore!

Mi Chen, I just heard you say that Prince Zheng presented the secret records of Duke Lu?"

"Tsk! Wasn't this arranged in advance by the king?"

"It seems that our king values Ying Zheng very much!" Queen Dowager Huayang sighed casually.

"Mi Chen, Ying Zheng has now become the crown prince!
From now on, please restrain your thoughts and be more respectful to Master Zheng!"

Looking at her somewhat foolish brother Mi Chen, Queen Dowager Huayang couldn't help but remind him that her choice of Yiren was also a helpless act on her part.

After An Guojun passed away, Yiren successfully became the King of Qin with her help. Although Yiren was still very respectful to her on the surface, Lady Huayang knew that she and King Yiren of Qin had great differences in political views.

At the beginning, the reason why she wanted Cheng Jiao to be the crown prince was to gain more benefits for the Chu faction, but after observing for many days, Lady Huayang found that Ying Zheng was really not simple.

When King Yiren of Qin began to favor Ying Zheng, Lady Huayang realized that she was powerless to change the situation and stopped opposing it.
