Chapter 63 Section 5 King Zhuangxiang's deathbed covenant broke the law and two powers governed the country
In the crisp and clear autumn of August, Xianyang Wangcheng was gloomy and suffocating.
The alchemist's elixir was becoming less and less effective, Qin Wang Yingyi who was lying on the couch was furious, panting and refusing to take any medicinal stones, only yelling to see what the heavens would do to him.When Lu Buwei heard the news, he went to the palace overnight to comfort him, but he couldn't hear Ying Yiren in a daze.Lu Buwei was in a hurry and ordered the imperial physician to make the king of Qin wake up for a few days, otherwise the crime would be unforgivable!Seeing that Lu Buwei, who had always been a spring breeze, was so strict, the imperial physician was terrified, and immediately summoned the most prestigious senior doctors to deliberate over it, and prescribed a generous prescription that strengthens the foundation and strengthens the vitality, each dose is a full two catties more than enough.The prescription was reported to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Buwei looked at it carefully and then sighed: "Although a terminally ill person is difficult to cure, it is not wrong to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the Yuan, it depends on God's will!" After that, he was sent to the king's palace overnight.The Imperial Physician Ling personally supervised the pharmacist to decoct a dose of heavy medicine, and the chief servant summoned the neatest maid to serve the dying King Qin with medicine.This middle-aged maid was really capable. She leaned against the fainted King Qin and leaned against the mountain pillow. After taking a sip, he gently sucked on King Qin's lips and poured it in. After a while, a big bowl of warm soup was fed, but even a drop was not sprinkled.The white-headed imperial physician Ling was dumbfounded!
About one more time, Ying Yiren, who was drowsy and soundly asleep, woke up suddenly with a yell, and he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, as if he had just come out of a bath.The imperial physician who was guarding the outer room of the marquis was overjoyed, and ordered the maid to prepare soup and food immediately, and at the same time sent someone to fly to the prime minister's residence.By the time Lu Buwei arrived in a hurry, Ying Yiren had already used a cup of elk soup in exchange for dry bedding and slept peacefully again.The maid who fed the medicine said that the king of Qin gave an order before going to bed, asking the prime minister to enter the palace tomorrow afternoon.Lu Buwei thought for a while, went outside and ordered the imperial physician to assign several old imperial physicians to take turns to guard the marquis, and went away with a heavy heart.
The autumn rain was drizzling, the cars were rumbling, and Lu Buwei's thoughts were as confused as if he had fallen into a fog.
After three years in power, after several setbacks, Lu Buwei was deeply moved by Qin.When Handan met the hostage son Ying Yiren by chance, Lu Buwei had no great ambition to save the country and help the world. It was really the eyes of a sophisticated businessman that made him decide to gamble on this down-and-out son.At that time, what they wanted was nothing more than to brighten the family, to turn the Lu family from a small country businessman into a big country aristocrat, that's all.However, once he was involved in the game and tried his best to deal with it, after ten years of hardships and hardships, Lu Buwei's will gradually changed unexpectedly.The heart of being a big family is gradually fading, but the heart of helping the world is getting stronger. Occasionally, when I think of the pursuit of a big family, I can only smile a little.The foundation of the heart of merit is Lu Buwei's deep insight into the shortcomings of Qin's political affairs and national conditions.Without these two points, Lu Buwei would naturally be satisfied with the prestige and glory of being a marquis and prime minister.As for state affairs, according to the law, you don't have to worry too much.In Qin, where everything is French, it is too easy to be a regular prime minister.At least Ying Yiren will not depose him in his first life. Even if Ying Yiren dies young and the new king ascends the throne, he can still be the prime minister for at least ten years with his status as a veteran of the three dynasties.To be the prime minister of a great country for thirteen years in one's life is already the pinnacle of wealth, what more can one ask for?If he could think this way, Lu Buwei would not be Lu Buwei.Lu Buwei's confusion lies in: if Ying Yiren really dies early, it will be very difficult to implement his own strategy of governing Qin. If his unique strategy cannot be implemented, and he is just an old official who handles affairs according to the law, it is really tedious, so why is it so important? Return to business travel and revive the glory?At least, the way of business travel full of risks makes people full of vitality, which is better than dying in Xianyang with the face of an old official.
The dazzling appearance of Prince Yingzheng deepened Lu Buwei's anxiety and confusion.
The difficulty of governing the state of Qin is that it cannot touch the law.No matter the matter is big or small, as long as someone mentions the disposition outside the law, he will immediately be suspected of subverting the Qin law.For more than a hundred years, Qin Fa has become the ancestral law worshiped by Qin people with its powerful effect of cohesive government and the public. After Qin Zhaowang's iron tablet oath, Qin Fa has become an inviolable sacred scripture.Lu Buwei changed the law several times and dealt with major state affairs according to the authority. Although each time was difficult and twists and turns, he succeeded in the end and was not accused by the Qin government of restoring the bad law. It is really a miracle of Qin!It is this kind of ending that is regarded as a miracle, which not only deepened Lu Buwei's worries, but also strengthened Lu Buwei's self-confidence.As the worries deepen, the trend of seeking change and innovation in the ruling and opposition parties of the Qin State has become weak, and sticking to the established trend of established laws has become popular. If changes are needed, it will be very difficult!Those who have strengthened their self-confidence, several special cases and breaking the law have proved that many courtiers and people did not protect the law from the bottom of their hearts.However, Prince Yingzheng's remarks and insights that were highly praised by the government and the public in the school examination made Lu Buwei keenly grasp a piece of news: Wang Zizheng Shaoxue took "Book of Shang Jun" as the sacred scripture, regarded Qin Law as the eternal iron rule, An extraordinary young man with a strong personality may become the future resistance to correct the evils of Qin Fa!
If this is the case, Lu Buwei's achievements in politics are very slim.However, Lu Buwei did not regard the young Yingzheng as dead. A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is just at the time when he sees rebellion, and his paranoia may not be corrected. If it is transformed into the law, it may be the implementation of the New Qin with Lu Buwei's strategy mighty King of the Law.However, how can we resolve this young prince whom he is very unfamiliar with?I have no idea.How much power can Qin Wang Yingyi give himself when he settles the funeral?There is no spectrum in my heart.Although Ying Yiren has a lot of trust in him, but under the torture of a strange disease, it is difficult to keep his mind from being disturbed. What if something happens...
The pattering autumn rain beats the residual lotus in the pond, and the Xiao Shu autumn wind shakes the iron horse under the eaves.Lu Buwei couldn't sleep all night, he fell into a dream at dawn, but suddenly woke up inexplicably.There was no sound in the bedroom, only a familiar silhouette was inlaid in the crack of the door, with a flash in his heart, Lu Buwei suddenly got up and left the bed.
"It's not too late, sir, it's okay to sleep again." Mo Hu floated in gently.
"A cold bath is better than a lost couch." Lu Buwei muttered, then wrapped himself in a large robe and entered the inner bathroom.Mohu hurriedly said to prepare hot water, but the door was locked.Two buckets of bone-chilling water were poured over his head, and Lu Buwei, who was covered in red all over, immediately felt refreshed. He came out wrapped in a long silk robe, and breakfast was already set on the desk.
"My lord," Mohu said in a low voice while kneeling in front of the desk while he was serving hot beef marrow soup, "Boss Ximen wants me to report to him: he seems to be feeling inconvenient in his legs and feet recently, and he hasn't improved after a few doses of medicine. Please allow him to return home when he grows old." Township."
"When will you say it?" Lu Buwei put down the ivory chopsticks that were sticking out.
"It's been three days, and I haven't seen you back home."
Lu Buwei got up and left.Knowing that he couldn't stop Mo Hu, he quickly picked up an oilcloth umbrella and chased after him. He opened the umbrella without saying a word, and just followed Lu Buwei to Xikuayuan silently.Under the rainy curtain, the small courtyard of Mr. Ximen was extremely deserted.When Mo Hu pushed open the front door of the main room, a patient's unique breath mixed with a faint smell of herbs filled the air. He walked through the main hall and entered the east bedroom. A cloth curtain was hung in the dark room. It was so quiet that there was no sound.
"Father Ximen!" Lu Buwei rushed forward and lifted the cloth curtain, and saw the old boss Ximen lying on his back in the quilt, his eyes seemed to be half-open, and his bronze-colored face suddenly changed. So pale and thin, ravines criss-cross, as if he was dying!Lu Buwei felt great grief, he rushed to hug the old man but couldn't make a sound, "Father... Lu Buwei is too late!" The old boss Ximen opened his eyes with difficulty and a smile twitched at the corners of his mouth: "Master, it's the old man who won't let you go!" They will report to you..." Lu Buwei just nodded, without saying a word, he copied both hands and was picked up by the old boss Ximen and left.Mo Hu was so panicked that he hurriedly grabbed the umbrella in front of him. The rain stirred up tears and ran across his face, but he gritted his teeth tightly for fear that he would burst into tears if he made a sound.
Hurrying to the third entrance of the main courtyard, Lu Buwei went straight into the south room of his living courtyard.After placing Mr. Ximen on the couch, Lu Buwei ordered Mo Hu to invite his wife.After Chen Xuan came in in a hurry, Lu Buwei gasped and said, "I have already ordered the imperial doctor to be invited. From today on, Father Ximen will live in my south room for treatment, so he is not allowed to move out. Madam will take care of it herself." Chen Xuan Xuan came over to visit while nodding, and when he saw Ximen's father dying, he choked up and wiped away his tears: "My father talked to me well a few days ago, how can it be..." Lu Buwei couldn't help sighing: "My father is strong by nature. I was negligent!"
While speaking, the imperial physician has arrived.After checking the pulse, the imperial doctor said that it was due to overwork, Qi and blood deficiency and old diseases, and he could recover after a hundred days of rest.Only then did Lu Buwei feel relieved, and sat on the sidelines silently watching Chen Xuan and Mo Hu cook the decoction, he was speechless for a long time.When Chen Xuan fed a cup of medicine to Mr. Ximen himself, and the old man fell into a deep sleep, Lu Buwei got up and told Mo Hu: "Pay attention to the old man, and anyone who has something to do in Qin State should report to me immediately." Xuan was startled when he heard this: "You? What do you mean?" Mo Hu's mind suddenly flashed the scene of Lu Buwei cleaning up the servants and deacons when he left Handan, and blurted out in surprise: "My lord! Do you want to leave Qin? But Lu Buwei left without saying a word, leaving only Chen Xuanmo and Hu Long in a daze.
In the afternoon, Lu Buwei entered Wangcheng in the continuous autumn rain.
After passing the official office area of the Wangcheng Palace is the Qin King's bedroom, which is called the inner garden, and the courtiers are also called the inner city.According to the law, the official occupants of the inner garden are only the king and queen of Qin, and the ministers are not allowed to enter unless there is a special order.The inner garden is in the middle of the former palace area and the harem area of concubines and maids. Although it is not big, it is the soul of the entire royal city.The reason why it is a soul is that the monarch actually spends most of his time dealing with government affairs in the inner garden study, except for large-scale court meetings and small-scale meetings in the eastern side hall or solemn meetings with ministers.In his later years or when he was ill, the king lived in the inner garden for a long time, and lived in secluded places, so there is a bit of mystery here.Since King Qin Zhao's later years, there have been two successive generations of sick monarchs, and this inner garden has become more important.
The old servant Lu Buwei who had already been waiting at the gate of Neiyuan City led him into an independent courtyard with dense trees, instead of the familiar bedroom of the King of Qin from yesterday.There are many secrets in the royal city, and it has been the same since ancient times.Lu Buwei didn't ask any more questions, and just followed the old servant into a big house shaded by trees.Entering the hall, there is a dry and hot breath, which is very comfortable in the cold autumn rain.Entering the dormitory from the third entrance, every corner is filled with red burning stoves, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Lu Buwei's face.
There was a little blood on Ying Yiren's face, and he leaned on the mountain pillow and embraced the big quilt and buried him on the spacious couch with his eyes closed.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ying Yiren suddenly opened his eyes: "Wen Xinhou is sitting down. Serve tea!"
"Your servant sees my king." Lu Buwei bowed deeply, and then took a seat in front of the table opposite the couch.
"Old Linyu is annoying, is it cold outside?" Ying Yiren asked casually.
"In the month of autumn, the cold air is always here, and the water is heavy, and the number of days is the reason."
The maid lightly brought the teacup and went away lightly.Ying Yiren silently looked at Lu Buwei sipping tea, and Lu Buwei also silently sipped the boiling hot tea, the room was silent for a while.After a long time, Ying Yiren sighed softly: "Marquis Wen Xin, the Yiren will go!" Lu Buwei was startled, but smiled slightly on his face: "My king laughed. Worrying!" Ying Yiren shook his head: "Marquis Wenxin is well versed in medicine, so why bother to comfort me with empty words? I know my body and my life, and I don't blame heaven or others."
"My king..." With a choked sob, Lu Buwei's teacup fell on the table with a clatter.
"Wen Xinhou calm down for a while and talk about it." Ying Yiren smiled faintly, watched the maid tidy up Lu Buwei's table and poured new tea and drifted away, and then smiled indifferently, "I took three doses in a row because the imperial doctor is generous. You and I met today. Marquis Wenxin is known for his sincerity and trustworthiness. Today’s talk is a comparison between you and me. If you are the same, you will be the same.
"Lu Buwei's life is innocent, my king knows it all..."
"Sir, please get up!" Ying Yiren hurriedly pushed away the big quilt and jumped off the couch to support Lu Buwei who was kneeling on the ground, and then pushed away Lu Buwei's hands that were about to help him on the couch, and simply wrapped up in the big quilt and sat opposite Lu Buwei With a faint sigh, "It's a great fortune to meet Mr. Baigui! Mr. Qin is more talented than Bai Gui, and it is even more fortunate for the Qin State! All talents with different virtues are equal, but knowing people is okay. They are different from my father, King Xiaowen." If, in one word: Mr. opens up a new life for a different person, and a different person gives Mr. a new way, the two are not mutually exclusive, even if it is not as good as Yu Boya Zhong Ziqi’s bosom friend through the ages, it can be regarded as a miracle in the world!"
"My king said, Lu Buwei's life is enough!"
"However, the stranger has one more thing to trouble Mister."
"My lord said, Lu Buwei will die soon!"
"I have your promise, sir, please!" Ying Yiren fell to the ground, weeping suddenly.
"My king folded and killed my subjects..." Lu Buwei hastily passed the case on his knees, and couldn't help saying that he picked up Ying Yiren and put him on the couch and wrapped him in a big quilt. He took a step back and bowed deeply, "Wang Ruo sits on the couch again, The minister will feel ashamed."
Ying Yiren panted heavily and waved his hand: "Okay! Just sit down, sir, and I'll talk." After Lu Buwei sat down, Ying Yiren said slowly, "I'll go too, the prince is young, Mr. Tuo Guo In order to survive the hardships and dangers, to preserve the Ying family's community. Although the Qin State has a royal family and strong generals, there are also many pillars and powerful ministers in the court, but there is no second person who coordinates and takes care of the overall situation like the master! What's more, sir He has stabilized the situation of the new mourning court twice, and has a long-term relationship with the king, queen, and prince. He is like a close friend with all the important officials.
"My king doesn't say...although the minister will die, he will not fail Qin!"
"Sir, listen to me." Ying Yiren panted and shook his hand, "Please, the first is for the prince, and the other is for the queen. The prince was born in Zhao and grew up in Zhao, and returned to Qin at the age of nine. I don't know much about his father." This son's talent and knowledge are excellent, but his temperament is strong, and it is easy to be a surly way. If he does not go through repeated polishing and takes office too early, the overall situation will be difficult to deal with. Before this son takes office, the husband must deliberately train him in many ways, and then he can take on the role. !"
"I engrave it in my heart..."
"As for the queen." Ying Yiren suddenly smiled meaningfully, "She was originally the woman in Mr.'s heart. She robs others of her beauty, and she is always guilty of being a stranger!"
"My king's words are very inappropriate..." Lu Buwei blushed anxiously.
"Don't worry, sir. Our ancestor, the Empress Dowager Xuan, can talk and laugh about the secrets of lying on the couch to foreign envoys. Why can't I get over my knot?" Ying Yiren patted the couch railing calmly and sighed, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Queen Zhao Ji and I Lie on the couch and entertain so much that she can’t give up life and death, that’s Zhao Ji! But...the queen’s lust is too much, and it’s hard for a different person to say...I thought about it again and again, and decided to use the same power as the queen and husband to govern the country. One imitation The ancestral system prevents the royal family from worrying about the sole power of the husband; secondly, it enables the husband and the queen to get along with each other in a proper way, which is beneficial to the affairs of the country and even more beneficial to teaching the prince. You should know the painstaking efforts of different people!"
"..." Lu Buwei was stunned and didn't know what to do, and was so terrified that he bowed to the ground.
"Sir!" Ying Yiren jumped off the couch and helped Lu Buwei up again, "What I said just now is the last covenant between you and me, and Mr. must understand. Otherwise, Ying Yiren will die with peace!"
Suddenly, Lu Buwei couldn't help weeping bitterly: "What the king said, what a minister's heart!"
"When a person is about to die, what I say is my heart..." Ying Yiren couldn't help but sob and wipe away his tears.
"The king is the country, what can the husband say!"
"Sir, do you agree with me?"
Lu Buwei wiped his tears with his big sleeve and nodded seriously.Ying Yiren couldn't help laughing at the table: "Mr. Qin You, it's God's will!" After saying a word, he fell down on the desk in a slump.Lu Buwei was shocked, and was about to pick up Ying Yiren and put him on the bed, when the imperial physician who was waiting outside had already rushed over.After a while of acupuncture and massage, Ying Yiren's breath gradually became more even, but he didn't wake up, just hibernating like a gossamer.The imperial physician gave Lu Buwei a pulse, pulled Lu Buwei aside and whispered a few words, Lu Buwei hurried away.
Leaving the inner garden, the twilight is like a night of heavy rain, with the sound of thunder and thunder, and the bright and ferocious lightning, the entire Great Xianyang is submerged in the boundless rain!At this moment, the elder Shi Huanli rushed towards him in a hurry, not caring about the heavy rain, lightning and thunder that stopped Lu Buwei, so he shouted, "Urgent secret report: Jinyang will rebel! See you, Your Majesty!" After thinking about it, he resolutely said loudly: "Your Majesty is in a coma! Report it to me urgently! You don't have to leave, Your Majesty!" Lao Huanli's complexion paled suddenly, he opened the wooden box in his arms tremblingly, took out a copper pipe and stuffed it to Lu Buwei, Then disappeared into the rain curtain outside the corridor.Lu Buwei immediately ordered the driver to drive back to the mansion alone to tell the master: all the officials are on duty at night, and no one is allowed to leave the prime minister's mansion; after speaking, he asked General Wangcheng for a horse, turned over and rushed into the vast rain and fog.
In a short while, Lu Buwei galloped to the General's Mansion, said a few words hastily, and Meng Ao immediately ordered Sima of the Chinese Army to invite Cai Ze.When Cai Ze rushed in, panting and dripping from the rain, the three of them gathered in the most secret military order hall to discuss for more than half an hour.Around two o'clock, Meng Ao's cavalry left the mansion and flew directly to Lantian Camp, Cai Ze rushed to the Xianyang Command Office, but Lu Buwei went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, when Cai Ze arrived at the Xianyang Command Office, he immediately ordered the officials on duty to fly to invite the Sheriff of Neishi County, Xianyang Commander, and General Xianyang.These three people are members of the same rank, and they are all in charge of the most important point in the hinterland of the Qin State-Neishi County governs the entire Guanzhong mainland, the Xianyang Order governs the civil government of the capital Xianyang, and the 50,000 elite infantry commander of Xianyang General Xianyang city defense.Whenever there is a crisis, these three places are the most important.Among these three positions, General Xianyang is under the jurisdiction of the General, and the Magistrate of Neishi County and the Order of Xianyang are under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Cai Ze originally had no right to intervene.However, today is different. Cai Ze holds the Prime Minister Lu Buwei's authorization letter and the general's order, and is a first-class important minister of the country with a higher title than the current prime minister and the general. Naturally, there will be no conflict of government orders when summoning the heads of the two departments.When the three of them arrived, Cai Ze stated the general situation of the court with a sullen face and extremely concise: King Qin is critically ill, there are rebellious ministers who want to rebel, and the three departments are under the control of the old man!After all, it was a deployment: Xianyang City immediately implemented wartime control, all city gates were opened early and closed at night, and night openings and night markets in the city were banned; Neishi County immediately announced to all counties that they wanted to investigate spies, but there were exiles from the Qin Dynasty in the north All escapes will be properly arranged; General Xianyang will concentrate all 50,000 cavalry in the valley south of the Weishui River, waiting for dispatch at any time!After some arrangements, the three of them split up and went busy, and Cai Ze hurried to the prime minister's mansion again.
The prime minister's mansion was tense and busy.In the heavy rain, all the government offices were brightly lit and officials rushed in and out.Cai Ze had been prime minister for several years, and as soon as he listened to the officials answering questions, he knew that the prime minister's mansion was urgently collecting all kinds of situations along the way of Jinyang. When Fang entered the study, he saw Lu Buwei in front of him and bowed.Cai Ze hurriedly supported him and said: "Jinyang is against the country, it should be of the same mind, why should the prime minister be like this?" Lu Buwei said solemnly: "Mr. Gangcheng understands the overall situation. The danger of Qin today is not in Jinyang, but in the royal city! Buwei wants to invite Gangcheng Sitting in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the general administration of the various parties is urgent, so I have to do my best to deal with the king's city to prevent accidents."
"Of course!" Cai Ze said with great emotion, "The king is dying. Since ancient times, when the power is handed over, the prime minister should guard the palace! Don't worry, but go, the old man manages the prime minister's mansion, and I will have a good time!"
"Within three days, Mr. Gang Cheng cannot leave the Prime Minister's Mansion even for a moment."
"Of course! This old man has a serious addiction, I'm afraid you won't be able to drive him away!"
"Thank you, Mr. Gang Cheng, and I will go."
At four o'clock, Lu Buwei braved the torrential rain in late autumn, which had not happened in a hundred years, and entered the inner garden of the royal city again.
Ying Yiren was in the last moment of waking up.The crown prince Yingzheng and queen Zhao Ji had been summoned to stand by the couch. Both mother and son were pale and absent-minded.Lu Buwei saw Zhao Ji for the first time in several years, at a glance, he saw that she was still shivering wrapped in a white sable fur, and his heart suddenly felt hot.Lu Buwei strode over and bowed deeply: "Don't worry about the queen and prince, the king of Qin will eventually have his destiny!" Zhao Ji, who bowed her head and sobbed, only nodded slightly.But the young Yingzheng bowed solemnly: "When the country is in danger, Yingzheng entrusts the prime minister!" Lu Buwei's heart trembled, and he quickly supported the young Yingzheng.At this moment, Ying Yiren sat up suddenly with a cry of surprise, but then fell down slumped, calling the prime minister repeatedly...
"Report to my king: Your minister Lu Buwei is here."
"Prime Minister, fierce dream! There is a conspiracy, kill..."
"I don't worry about my king." Lu Buwei calmly cupped his hands, "Jinyang Yingxi started a rebellion, and the ministers have already planned a countermeasure with the general and Gang Cheng. The general has already marched northward overnight, and the 100,000 troops from Hexi are enough to settle Jinyang!"
"Ah, it's this person after all! My late father was right, that's right!" Ying Yiren panted heavily, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he stretched out his hand to pull the young man Ying Zheng over, "Zheng, from today onwards , Marquis Wenxin is the son’s father Zhong, and he should be treated as a father in life. Go to see Zhong father..."
The young Yingzheng strode forward and bowed to Lu Buwei: "Father Zhong is here, and I will be worshiped by my son Yingzheng."
"Prince, please rise up! How dare the old minister accept such a great gift!" Lu Buwei helped the young Yingzheng up in fear, and when he was about to pay homage, the young Yingzheng held his arms and said in a low voice, "The state is serving the imperial edict. You and I are in a dilemma." Lu Buwei sighed and had to give up.
"Queen, Zheng'er, Marquis Wenxin..." Ying Yiren pulled the hands of the three of them together and patted them gently, tears welling up in his eyes, panting unbearably, "The three of us are of the same heart, so we can do it for ourselves." Also...the stranger is gone, gone..." He bowed his head slumped, and then fell silent.
Zhao Ji and the young Ying Zheng cried out at the same time, and they were about to rush towards them... Lu Buwei suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the two of them back and shouted in a low voice: "Wang Xi has a way! Don't mess up!" The old imperial doctor ordered two old imperial doctors to rush to the couch.The old servant has already put King Qin Yingyi upright in the long bed.The three old imperial physicians took turns to check the pulse, and each whispered the same sentence to Tai Shiling in front of the desk: "The king has no return." The old lady Shi Ling solemnly recorded the book, stood up solemnly and announced loudly: "The king of Qin has returned to heaven! It is also sad Huh!" All the people in the bedroom waited for this, followed by Queen Lu Buwei and the three of them, bowed down in front of the bed and burst into mourning.
"King Xuan's edict—" the elder Shi Huanli suddenly announced solemnly.
Lu Buwei knew very well that all the things that he hadn't foreseen at this time were arranged by King Qin on his deathbed.Queen Zhao Ji and Crown Prince Ying Yiren also seemed to be unaware of the will, and they were at a loss for a while. Seeing Lu Buwei's eyes signaled, they calmed down.
Huan Li's old and trembling voice swayed like a thread in the sound of the rain——
Qin Wang Yingyiren's special edict: This king has known himself for a long time, this edict will be the minister of publicity, and it must not be violated before the new king takes office: After the king's death, Lu Buwei will reply to the Marquis, seal the land of Baili in Luoyang, and lead the prime minister and general regent of the Kaifu The crown prince Yingzheng came to the throne, and he was not allowed to be in charge before he was crowned. He should treat Wen Xinhou with the respect of his father, listen to his teachings, and strive to temper; Queen Zhao Ji can predict state affairs and discuss major plans with Wen Xinhou.The implementation of political affairs is determined by listening to Wen Xinhou.Qin Wang Yingyi was born in the autumn of the third year.
There was a lot of wind and rain, and all the courtiers were stunned in astonishment, as if they didn't know if the edict was over.Only little Zhao Gao gently tugged on the lapel of young Ying Zheng's clothes.The young Yingzheng knocked on the ground suddenly and said in a loud voice: "My minister, Yingzheng, respectfully honors the imperial edict!" Then the queen Zhao Ji came to her senses, turned her head to look at Lu Buwei behind her, and kowtowed on the ground, "Zhao Ji is honoring the imperial edict." Lu Buwei saw the old man Huan Li shook the bamboo slips at him again and again, knowing that there was no unknown formula, he prostrated himself on the ground and said: "My minister, Lu Buwei, is hereby ordered."
"After this edict, the Queen will decide with Marquis Wenxin!" Lao Huanli added loudly.The ministers in the bedroom bowed their hands solemnly and said in unison: "The ministers are waiting for the order of the queen Wenxinhou!" Although the queen was ranked first according to the law, they all looked at Lu Buwei.Lu Buwei wanted to arrange many urgent tasks immediately, but in a flash of his mind, he bowed solemnly to Zhao Ji: "Lv Buwei has heard the queen's verdict!" Zhao Ji Dajue, who was wiping away tears, suddenly blushed, "Me? Judgment? What's the matter? Judgment?" The young man Yingzheng stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "At this critical time, Father Zhong doesn't need to worry about false etiquette. Although the Queen Mother has the power to predict the state affairs in the father's imperial edict, it is only the intention of supervising the country, and the actual political affairs have to be arranged by Zhong Father. Dispose of it. Father Zhong will do it without doubt!" "Prince Mingjian!" The ministers immediately echoed in unison, no doubt agreeing with Lu Buwei.Zhao Ji let out a long cry and blushed, "Zheng'er is right, but why do you make things difficult for me?"
"This is the end of the matter, and the old minister has been ordered!" Lu Buwei sighed, turned around and cupped his hands to the people in the hall and said in a loud voice, "King Qin has a new funeral, and there are four urgent tasks at the moment: first, make arrangements for the national funeral; second, the new king's enthronement ceremony; Third, put down the chaos in Jinyang; fourth, stabilize the people of the government and wild people. The current general has gone north to put down the chaos, and the rest of the affairs are assigned as follows: First, the state funeral will be handled by Lord Yangquan in conjunction with the Taishi Ling Taimiao. If there is any doubt, First report to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty to decide! Second, the grand ceremony of the new king’s enthronement will be presided over by Siche Shuchang and Shi Huanli! Third, during the national mourning period, Guowei Mengwu will also be in charge of the three prefectures of Neishi County, Xianyang Order, and Xianyang General to control Qinchuan Defense! Fourth, during the national mourning period, Gang Chengjun Cai Ze temporarily took charge of the affairs of the prime minister's mansion, focusing on the smooth flow of government orders and stability of the government and the public! Fifth, before the new king took the throne, the prime minister moved to the study outside the palace in the east of Wangcheng, and the general affairs of all parties ! If there is nothing wrong with the above, the departments will immediately act according to the law!"
"Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, let's go to the national disaster together!" The ministers shouted in unison, taking orders like a large army shogunate.This is the tradition of the Qin State.
