Chapter 131 The Miserable Lian Jin

"Yao Jia, yesterday we were only discussing my marriage! I didn't have time to ask you about the situation in Wei!"

"Your Majesty! King Jia of Wei and Lord Xinling have both rejected the Great Qin's request!"

"Hmm! Just as I expected, King Wei won't cry until he sees the coffin!"

"Your Majesty, how do you deal with the Wei problem next?"

"Just send 50,000 Qin troops to the Qin-Wei border, and then ask General Wang Jian to pretend to attack from Han territory. The people of Wei will be obedient!"

"Your Majesty, which general should we send?" asked Lu Buwei from the side.

"Prime Minister Lu, I intend to send General Meng Wu to the Qin-Wei border. What do you think?"

"General Meng Wu is indeed a more suitable candidate, but wouldn't that be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

"Haha, if we send out our great generals from the Great Qin, the Wei Kingdom will know that we are really attacking them, and then they will feel afraid!"

The State of Wei is now like meat on the chopping board, and when to eat it depends on Ying Zheng's mood. The reason why he did not go directly into the palace of Wei, but put on a threatening look was that he needed time to digest the entire territory of Korea.

It would be a pity if it were to explode like the original time and space. I have the impression that Korean nobles once rebelled in Korea.

Of course, in order to prevent the rebellion from happening again, Ying Zheng had brought all the dignitaries of Han to Xianyang and carried out ideological transformation on them.

Even if he is sent out to serve as an official again in the future, he will avoid returning to his old homeland of Han, but will be arranged to other places, preferably to serve as an official in the original territory of Qin.

After occupying other vassal states, we can then carry out military rotation and ideological control. Only in this way can we avoid the rebellious mentality of the people of the six countries.

Seeing King Ying Zheng of Qin being so arbitrary, Lu Buwei felt very angry, but also felt powerless.

Thinking about how Lao Ai had been arranged to live in the palace of Queen Mother Zhao Ji some time ago, I really want to see Ying Zheng’s expression when he ate a fly.

Then Lu Buwei went to Zhao Ji, but just after exchanging a few words with Zhao Ji, he found that King Ying Zheng of Qin had also followed.

Seeing the sudden appearance of King Ying Zheng of Qin, Zhao Ji and the others hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, why did you think of me?"

"Haha, Queen Mother, I haven't seen you for several days! I thought of coming over to see you!"

Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Lian Jin standing beside him. He knew that he had changed his name to Lao Ai. He did not expect that he could enter the palace and be with Zhao Ji as he wished.

Zhao Ji noticed that Ying Zheng was looking at Lao Ai and she smiled and explained, "Your Majesty, this is Lao Ai, the eunuch sent by Prime Minister Lu a few days ago, to serve me!"

"Oh? Prime Minister Lu is really thoughtful!" Ying Zheng suddenly looked at Lu Buwei next to him with a playful expression.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!"

"Prime Minister Lu, you said Lao Ai was a eunuch. Have you had the eunuchs in the palace check it out?"

"This"

As soon as he saw Lu Buwei's confused expression, he knew that he was deliberately ignoring this problem. Of course, Ying Zheng also knew what he was planning.

"Somebody come!"

"Your Majesty!" Two strong guards soon appeared.

"Take Lao Ai down for a physical examination. If there is anything abnormal, cut it off!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The guards immediately went to control the limp Lao Ai.

Even though Lao Ai was a first-rate swordsman, if he really faced a powerful opponent, he would be nothing but a pitiful scum, unable to resist at all.

"Queen Mother, please save Lao Ai!"

Seeing the miraculous operation of King Ying Zheng of Qin, Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji were stunned. When she heard Lao Ai's cry for help, Zhao Ji, who had come to her senses, looked at Ying Zheng with a sudden change of expression.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Lao Ai is a member of my palace!"

"Queen Mother, precisely because Lao Ai is a eunuch in the harem, he should follow the procedures!"

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he ignored Zhao Ji and looked at Lu Buwei beside him. "Prime Minister Lu, I hate smart-alecks the most! This is the first time, and the last time!"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!"

Soon the two guards returned and knelt before Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, Lao Ai is indeed not clean. I have already done it!"

"only."

"It's just that I have no experience in this area. I was too harsh and killed Lao Ai directly?" "Oh? Alas! It's a pity for Prime Minister Lu's kindness! Go down!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister Lu, look at what this has caused! Your guards were too heavy-handed and directly caused Lao Ai to lose his life!"

"Your Majesty, this is Lao Ai who deserves death! He actually deceived me, saying that he was born a eunuch! As a result, I was careless for a moment, which led to such a huge mistake! I will never forgive him even if I die!"

"Alright! Prime Minister Lu, let's just leave this matter as it is! Remember my words, this is the first and last time!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"

"Empress Dowager, I still have memorials to deal with, so I'll be leaving first!"

"You" Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng, who seemed a little unfamiliar in front of her, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

After leaving Zhao Ji's palace, Ying Zheng suddenly looked at the guard with interest, "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, this is General Yang Duanhe!"

"Oh? Yang Duanhe?" Hearing such a familiar name, Ying Zheng showed an interested expression.

"Is Lao Ai really dead?"

"Your Majesty, if I do it myself, I won't make any mistakes!"

"Yes! I believe you! But I suddenly want to see Lao Ai's head!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will arrange it right away!"

Ying Zheng returned to his own bedroom but did not go to any concubine's room. Instead, he waited for Yang Duanhe's arrival.

Shan Rou, who was standing by, was surprised to see Ying Zheng acting so strangely. "Your Majesty, why are you so interested in Lao Ai's head?"

"Haha, this is a secret of mine! Let me keep it a secret for now! I'll explain it to you later."

Soon, Yang Duanhe came with a wooden box in his hand and placed it on the table in front of Ying Zheng.

"Yeah! Very good! You all can go down!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After Yang Duan and his fellow temple members had left, Ying Zheng personally opened the wooden box under Shan Rou's puzzled gaze, revealing a dead head.

Ying Zheng looked at him carefully and confirmed that it was the same Lian Jin, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shanrou, this man is Lian Jin! He used to be a direct descendant of Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu in Zhao State! He was the one who conspired with the Wu Family Fortress to murder me!"

"Ah? It turned out to be him! No wonder the king cares so much about it!"

Now my only enemy is Wu Tingfang, but I don’t know where she is now?

"Wu Tingfang?" Shanrou's expression suddenly changed, and she spoke with a trembling voice.

Noticing Shanrou's abnormality, Ying Zheng looked at her and asked, "Why? Have you seen this Wu Tingfang?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Before I arrived in Xianyang, while I was hunting down an alchemist, I rescued a woman who was imprisoned by the alchemist. She called herself Wu Tingfang!"

"I felt sorry for her, so I arranged for her to stay in a brothel."

After hearing Shanrou's explanation, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped caring about Wu Tingfang and became interested in this alchemist instead.

"Shanrou, you made a great arrangement! Since Wu Tingfang has already suffered so much, the grudge between her and me will be over!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

"However, Shanrou, I'm suddenly very interested in this alchemist you mentioned! Have you ever received anything from the alchemist?"

"Something? Yes! It's a scroll! It looks like a medicine recipe!"

"Oh? Is the recipe still there?"

Ying Zheng guessed that this might be the most original formula of gunpowder. Although he knew the most reasonable formula standard, that is, , he didn't know what they were called in this era.
