Chapter 114 Section 1 Empress Dowager Huayang

Let's say that the matter of Fan Yuqi has finally come to an end.As a young power broker, Fochub began his short-lived debut.The object of his lobbying is the Qin clan.When the rumors about Yingzheng being Lu Buwei's illegitimate son spread from the Zhao Kingdom and became more and more intense, the Qin clan, which should have come forward the most, remained inexplicably silent.As long as you are good at listening, silence can actually be a language. Fu Qiubo wants to overthrow Yingzheng and support Chengyu to ascend to the throne, so seeking the support of the clan has become his inevitable choice.Among the clan clans, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen are the most appealing.

[Note: Historical Records Suo Yin said: Lord Changping, the son of Chu, established himself as a minister, and moved back to Ying. Xiang Yan was established as the king of Jing, and Shi lost his name.I don't know the name of Lord Changwen either.According to the "Bamboo Slips of the Qin Tomb in Yunmengsuihudi": Lord Changping died in the 21st year of Yingzheng, while Lord Changping, who was established as the King of Jing by Xiang Yan, died in the 24th year of Yingzheng. You are not alone. (The textual research here is from Mr. Yu Kunqi's "Commentary Biography of Qin Shihuang") If Lord Changping and Lord Changwen are foreigners, then according to the title system of the Qin State, they must have made great achievements in being named kings. Since they have made great achievements, why are they not recorded in the annals of history?Therefore, according to my speculation, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen should be members of the clan of the Qin State, and their identities should be the uncles of Yingzheng, that is, the son of King Xiaowen and the brother of Yiren. ]

As the only witness, Mrs. Yao was brought by Uncle Fuqiu to the residence of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen. Like Mrs. Xianglin, she repeated the words Zeng and Chengyu had said N times.After hearing this, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were surprisingly calm, neither surprised nor angry.Fu Qiubo insisted, but the two still did not express their views. They were really entangled by Fu Qiubo, so he suggested that Fu Qiubo find another person, someone who has more say and authority than the two of them.Uncle Fuqiu's heart moved, and he immediately guessed who this person was: Mrs. Huayang back then, now Empress Dowager Huayang, queen of King Xiaowen, the last heavenly card of the Qin royal family.

Although Lord Changping and Lord Changwen did not make a clear statement, they let Fuqiu Bo retreat completely.Fu Qiubo vaguely smelled a kind of smell from it: the clan is not satisfied that the current state of Qin is controlled by two people, Lai Ai and Lu Buwei, but the clan has gained nothing from the cake of power, so it is also angry at Yingzheng.It can also be understood that they are conniving or even instigating Fuchub, encouraging him to make trouble, which may be able to impact the existing structure and promote the redistribution of the power cake. So Fuqiubo went to Side Palace and said to Empress Huayang.

When King Xiaowen was still alive, he absolutely loved the Empress Dowager Huayang. It can be said that there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand doted on him. One can imagine the appearance of the Empress Dowager Huayang.Today, the Empress Dowager Huayang is in her fifties, but she looks as straight as a person in her twenties.One can't help but suspect that the Empress Dowager Huayang also has a mysterious portrait hidden in a dark corner to bear the aging of her body and the ugliness of her soul.In contrast, Yao Shi, who was more than 20 years younger than the Empress Dowager Huayang, was contrasted with an old man with a dilapidated appearance.I have to admit that God's creation is biased.Some people just get more, maybe too much.

After listening to Yao Shi's statement coldly, the Empress Dowager Huayang ordered Uncle Fuqiu to come forward.When Fu Qiubo stepped forward, the Empress Dowager Huayang took a look at him, shook her head, and ordered him to return to the original place.Fu Qiubo was puzzled, not understanding the intention of the Empress Dowager Huayang.Fu Qiubo naturally didn't know that the Empress Dowager Huayang had poor eyesight, so he ordered Fu Qiubo to come forward, just to see his appearance.An old woman with high self-esteem like the Empress Dowager Huayang usually lacks immunity to handsome guys.But Fu Qiubo is not good at his appearance, the Empress Dowager Huayang was already displeased when he saw it.And as a political broker facing the Empress Dowager Huayang, if he can't be handsome, he should at least be older, mature and stable, and look trustworthy.Fochub was only twenty-seven years old, obviously too young.It can be seen that although youth is an asset, it may sometimes become a negative asset.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Huayang wanted to drive away the guests, Fuqiu Bo had no choice but to go all out.The Empress Dowager Huayang is the greatest and last hope for him and Cheng Yu.Uncle Fuqiu didn't care about the severity of his tone, and said loudly: "The righteousness of the country is to be respected; the evil of the family is the most serious conspiracy. The current king's government is not the heir of the previous king, but the son of Lu Buwei! Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei, Beginning with a concubine who was pregnant, she cleverly deceived the former monarch, and then with a son born in adultery, she was given blood. The court is not the real king, but the Yin has already become Lu; the country will be in danger, and the gods will be angry! If the queen mother thinks of the former king How can you bear to see Ying's blood and food taken by Lu? How can you bear to watch Qin's 600-year-old foundation be destroyed in the hands of traitors? After a hundred years, what will the Empress Dowager look like when she sees her ancestors in the ground?"

The color of Empress Huayang changed.Uncle Fuqiu said again: "When a certain ignorant died, the Empress Dowager climbed up and shouted, and the whole country obeyed, punished the adulterers, abolished the false master, the Baozong Temple was about to be destroyed, and the society was about to fall. He is majestic and powerful, has both ability and political integrity, and is the hope of the Ying family and the people. If he can be supported to become king, he will surely comfort the previous king in the underground and secure the clan in the long run. The queen mother is good at making decisions."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sneered and said, "You are a lobbyist for Mr. Chang'an? Since Mr. Chang'an has plans, why don't you come here?" After saying that, she waved her sleeves to see off the guests.Fu Qiubo had no choice but to resign with Yao Shi.
