Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 193 Chen’s killing of thieves never picks a day () [Second update, please subscribe]

Chen Zheng's voice was very serious, even with a hint of rebuke.

He stood there with angry eyes, like a "patron saint" guarding Qin Lu.

Zhao Ji stood there a little stunned. She didn't react for a moment, and she was a little scared and shrinking in her heart.

She subconsciously took a step back and looked at her son - yes, only at this time would he think of his child.

Ying Zheng was not "swayed" by Zhao Ji's reaction. He knew his mother's character very well. How could there be any changes from Handan City to now?

When something happens, he is her son; when nothing happens, he is like the wind.

He was used to being ignored by his mother.

Zhao Ji stood there and saw that her son was not on her side. She was a little confused for a moment. Did she really do something wrong?

At this time, Chen Zheng was still asking aggressively: "Excuse me, in what capacity did you break into Zhangtai Palace?"

"As the Queen Mother, as an ordinary mother, as Zhao Ji?!"

Chen Zheng's previous statement that Zhao Ji was not worthy of coming to Zhangtai Palace was actually correct. Zhao Ji knew this too, and she instantly fell into Chen Zheng's trap.

Zhao Ji and the Queen Mother have the same identity, so what's the difference?

But at this time, Zhao Ji couldn't react to this matter at all. She said with some fear: "In my capacity as the Queen Mother."

Chen Zheng glanced sideways at Zhao Ji, and then said sternly: "I see the Queen Mother."

He acted in accordance with the laws of Qin. Since Zhao Ji said that she came as the Queen Mother, he naturally wanted to be greeted.

Before Zhao Ji could react and take a breath, Chen Zheng stood there and asked again: "Since you are here as the Queen Mother, then there is no son of yours here, only the King of Qin!"

"The foundation of Qin!"

"The Queen Mother, please speak more clearly!"

Zhao Ji was pulled into a verbal trap by Chen Zheng and was frightened by Chen Zheng just now. At this time, she no longer had the arrogance as before.

She stood next to Ying Zheng and her voice was much gentler than before: "Zheng'er, I believe you should know what I am here for."

Zhao Ji put her hand on her belly involuntarily. Looking at Ying Zheng, her face became a little more maternal. She whispered: "I hope you can give him the title of An Guojun and a fief."

She looked at Ying Zheng: "I know you don't like me, nor him. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will fake death and leave with him."

? ? ? ? ?

When the people present heard Zhao Ji's remarks, their faces were filled with astonishment. They looked at Zhao Ji in confusion, as if they were looking at a fool.

Let’s not talk about what the title An Guojun means in the Qin State. Just saying "cheating death" and "leaving with him" can make the minds of many ministers present explode.

Ying Zheng's expression became even more gloomy. As Zhao Ji's son, he naturally understood Zhao Ji better. He could immediately see where Zhao Ji's hands were placed, and he could also see Zhao Ji's change.

Why did Zhao Ji, who had always been willful, domineering and brainless, suddenly become so soft?

He stared at Zhao Ji's belly, as if he wanted to see something through that layer of belly.

Ying Zheng was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

He just felt like a child abandoned by the whole world at this moment.

Chen Zhong sat there, looking at Ying Zheng beside him, with a slightly worried look in his eyes.

At this time, Chen Zheng stood up again and lived up to expectations.

He lowered his eyes and stood in front of Zhao Ji: "Who is the Queen Mother talking about?"

Zhao Ji was a little afraid of Chen Zheng. She didn't know why. Maybe it was a fear from the bottom of her heart.

"It's Lao Ai next to me." Chen Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Lao Ai?"

"A eunuch?"

Chen Zheng sneered: "Does the Queen Mother know whose title Anguo was originally granted? Do you know what this title symbolizes?"

Zhao Ji lowered her head when she heard this.

Of course she knows, isn't this the title of Chen Ye, the ancestor of the Chen family?

Of course she also knew what this title meant. It was the most noble title in the entire Qin Kingdom!

This is what she wants.

Chen Zheng watched Zhao Ji's expression change and chuckled, his laughter full of sneers and ridicule: "It seems that the Queen Mother knows."

"Then I dare to ask the Queen Mother, not to mention that the foundation of the Qin State is the "military merit system". You need to achieve military merit before you can be ennobled. What qualifications does an eunuch have to compete with Chen Ye, the ancestor of the Chen family, An Guogong? Use the same title?"

He took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Is the Queen Mother going to use this to humiliate me, Mrs. Chen?"

"Does the Queen Mother want to fight to the death with me, Mrs. Chen?"

When Chen Zheng's words reached this point, Chen Su and Chen Zhong naturally could not continue to sit still, because this involved their great-grandfather and ancestor Chen Ye.

Chen Zhong's voice was calm and low. He also asked: "Does the Queen Mother want to use this to humiliate me, Mrs. Chen?"

His voice was obviously gentler than Chen Zhengping's, but for some reason, Zhao Ji felt even greater fear in her heart when she heard this.

Zhao Ji took a step back again. Lao Ai told her before coming that she must not change her account, but now she did not dare to insist because she was afraid!

"Then you can change it to another title."

Before he finished speaking, a mocking laugh sounded again.

Chen Zheng stood there and could hardly suppress his sneer and anger. He looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Can I change it to another account? Is that okay?"

"What does the Queen Mother take for the title!"

"In the past, my ancestor of the Chen family, Duke Wen'an Chen Shen, was of Qin royal family's blood and was the child of Princess Youning. He could not ignore his military achievements and directly ennoble him. Does an eunuch want to break this rule today?"

"Where did he get his face?"

Perhaps it was Chen Zheng who kept saying the word "eunuch" that irritated Zhao Ji. At this time, Zhao Ji suddenly raised her head: "He is not a eunuch!"

She even said more outrageous words: "He is the child in my belly! He is the false father of Ying Zheng! He is the false father of King Qin Ying Zheng!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into silence, as if one could hear a pin drop.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji with indifference and despair on his face. He did not expect that Zhao Ji could really do such a thing.

He closed his eyes slightly.

At this time, before anyone could react, a clear voice sounded.

"rub--"

It was like the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

Chen Zheng stood aside, his expression already extremely cold, but extremely calm.

He held the long sword in his hand, and the expression in his eyes remained unchanged: "That's it, that's it."

"There is such a traitor around the Queen Mother?"

"According to Qin law, you must be beheaded!"

Chen Zheng turned around and said, "Please, Your Majesty, give me the power to temporarily mobilize the troops in the palace. Today, I will represent the Chen family and kill the rebels!"

PS: I'm a little stuck today, so I'm late. A thousand words are missing, and thousands will be made up tomorrow.
