Chapter 127 Midnight Judgment

Let's talk about the brightly lit and dignified atmosphere in the main hall of Side Palace.It seems that no one is willing to speak first, and they all stick to their silence.And the silence in the world, like the deep night, actually has colorful colors under careful study.There is not only the emptiness and abandonment of "where the words are broken, nothing exists", but also the celebrity style of "there is a deep meaning in it, and the words are forgotten if you want to argue", and there is the mystery of "the sage speaks without saying anything, and there are those who foretell" Tendency, there is the Taoist essence of "the one who knows does not speak, and the one who speaks does not know", there is the Buddhist gatha of "the mind and actions are destroyed, and the way of speech is broken", and there is also the wisdom of life that "everything is worthwhile, it is better to be silent", etc. .And what is the psychological source of the silence of everyone here?Although it is unknown today, it is conceivable that with the identities and status of these people, gathered under the same roof, there is already a suffocating dramatic tension without speaking or even using body parts.

It will be an unprecedentedly long night.The fate of every participant will change on this night.Before the new day comes, they have plenty of time, even if they want to talk, there is no need to rush it. Seeing that everyone remained silent for a long time, the Empress Dowager Huayang was very upset and said angrily: "If the elders come, but don't speak, what's the reason? The old lady is tired late at night, and wants to rest, if she is older, she will retreat." After speaking, Still no one answered, but no one backed down.The Empress Dowager Huayang had no choice but to ask Ying Zheng by name, and said, "Your Majesty came to visit at night, why did you come?"

Only then did Ying Zheng reply: "Your Guest Li Si, I dedicated it to the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager Huayang's accumulated prestige for many years is still there, and she has always been domineering and tough. Compared with the Empress Dowager Xia who passed away before her, she is an eagle and a chicken.When Ying Zheng saw the Empress Dowager Huayang, he also felt guilty, and he didn't dare to confront her head-on, so he had to push Li Si to charge for him and be a villain.Li Si presented the Empress Dowager Huayang's warrant and said: "The traitor Fan Yuqi led his troops to attack Xianyang Palace and fled in a big defeat. He left this warrant. Some people say that it was written by the Empress Dowager herself, and the jade seal is also fine. Look at the Empress Dowager Clearly discerning the truth from the falsehood, so as to eliminate the suspicion of the whole country."

The Empress Dowager Huayang glanced at the warrant, then threw it aside.She didn't look at Li Si, but stared at Ying Zheng coldly, and said, "Since your majesty is forcing you to do this, what can the old woman say! Outside Side Palace, there are heavy swordsmen who have been stationed for many days. Why don't your majesty call them in?" , in front of the family and relatives, took the life of the old woman? The old woman is afraid of death! The old woman only hates, she should not have persuaded the former king to make his son Chu the crown prince. If not, why did the old woman be humiliated today? The old woman dug her own grave, she didn’t blame others, she just felt ashamed of the ancestors of the Ying family. Your Majesty passed on the order quickly, and the old woman waited for it.” The Queen Mother Huayang’s words were so powerful that no one could resist them. Just half an hour ago, she was just a little woman who was affectionate and tender-hearted in order to become a chicken.

When the Empress Dowager Huayang became ruthless, Ying Zheng also panicked. He quickly knelt down and said, "The empress dowager's words are serious, and my grandson can't bear it. My grandson prays for the empress dowager's life and blessings day and night, especially if I can't do it. How dare I have the idea of ​​harming the empress dowager?" ? The Empress Dowager Wanwang regretted her words, otherwise the death of her grandson would not be enough to apologise." After only one round of the contest, the Empress Dowager Huayang has already gained the upper hand. She has become the judge and is invincible.And Yingzheng became the one being tried, and faced with the presumption of guilt of the Queen Mother Huayang, he had to start a difficult self-defense.Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Since your Majesty still has filial piety, I am deeply comforted." However, her tone did not sound comforting at all, but instead revealed a hint of sarcasm.

Yingzheng said: "My grandson is dull. Although the Queen Mother does not take pity on my grandson, but my grandson is confident that his virtue is good and he is not a licentious and innocent king. Why did the Queen Mother issue this order to replace my grandson with Lord Chang'an as the King of Qin?" The Empress Dowager Huayang said: "The order has been cleared, so why do you need to ask more questions. Your Majesty's name is Yingzheng, but he is actually Lu Zheng. The old woman dare not hope to have a grandson like His Majesty. The old woman has grandchildren, but Yingcheng is the only one. Great Qin King Is there any reason not to pass on Ying's family but to outsiders?"
