Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 254 Dove Occupies Magpie's Nest

  Xianyang.

  With the departure of Ying Zheng, the situation in Xianyang, which was originally quite undercurrent, seemed to calm down in an instant.

  Especially Mo Jun and Xiong Qi who have attracted much attention. At first, many people thought that this tiger and wolf would have no suppression, and after Ying Zheng left, they would definitely fight to the death in Xianyang.

  However, the reality is that neither Mo Jun nor Xiong Qi has made any rash moves since Ying Zheng left.

   It has been many days.

  Xiong Qi has been assisting the eldest son Fusu in handling the government affairs, and has arranged everything inside and outside the court in an orderly manner.

   On the other hand, Mo Jun, just like before he was promoted, did not show his majesty as the newly appointed 'Doctor Yushi' at all.

  However, the more calm it is, the more it makes the ministers feel 'shuddering'.

   As the so-called new official takes office, there are three fires.

   These two big bosses have not taken any action since they took office. Who knows if they are holding back a big one in secret.

   Shoot the bird first.

   People who can be in the middle of the court are not stupid, and no one wants to be such a person in the early stage, so Xianyang, which was not suppressed by Yingzheng and is very likely to be a riot of demons, became extremely calm for a while.

   But the reality is that Mo Jun and Xiong Qi have not made any moves so far. It's not that they are going to hold back, but that they didn't plan to do anything at all.

  Mr. Mo needless to say, if it wasn’t for Yingzheng’s sudden ‘royal conquest’ this time, he would still be enjoying his retirement life in Hanzhong now due to the special circumstances.

  As for Mr. Changping, he is not that stupid. He has just obtained the position of 'Prime Minister of the Right'. The first task should be to seek stability. Only after the position under his **** is stabilized, will there be follow-up development.

   Besides, what Mr. Changping wants to do the most is what he is doing now.

   What Changping-kun wants to do.

   Rebellion?

   No, in fact Changping-kun has never had such an idea, at least not so far.

  The case of the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun was completely an act of deception by Lord Changwen. For the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" in Qin State, it was impossible to succeed by force.

   All along, there is only one thing Chang Wenjun wants to do from beginning to end, and that is to improve the status and rights of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" in Qin State.

  In fact, this matter itself is not wrong, because this kind of thing was a very common thing in the clan society of the Warring States Period.

  Not to mention Lord Changping, even before Yingzheng completely unified the six kingdoms, the help of the Ying clan was still inseparable behind the scenes, and if Lord Changping could succeed, how could he not give back to the clan.

   But the problem lies in the identity of Mr. Changping and the "Chu foreign relatives" behind him.

  If a foreign relative who has the blood of the Chu royal family gains great power in Qin State, will this country belong to Qin State or Chu State in the future?

  Ying Zheng didn't care about his relatives gaining official power.

  But these people are never allowed to get involved in the royal power, even if there is only a slight possibility.

   At the time, the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun secretly hid five thousand soldiers and horses, which undoubtedly violated Yingzheng's bottom line. If Yingzheng hadn't grasped the power at that time, this incident alone would have been enough to make Changping Jun and others beyond redemption.

  Even afterward, it seemed that this matter had passed on the surface, but in fact since then, the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" has been stuck in Ying Zheng's heart like a thorn.

  If this matter is not completely resolved, Yingzheng will probably have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

   Just at this time.

  The Empress Dowager Huayang just added fuel to Yingzheng's fire, so Yingzheng simply followed his plan and played a big game in Xianyang.

  He took the initiative to send Fusu to Mr. Changping.

  Fusu's identity is very special.

  His mother, Mrs. Zheng, is a princess of Chu State, and has a similar bloodline to Lord Changping.

   In other words.

  Jun Changping is Fusu's uncle.

   Fusu himself is the eldest son of the Qin State, the future heir of the King of Qin, with several identities added together, this is straightforwardly seducing Lord Changping, this is your best chance to get your hands on the kingship.

   "The dove occupies the magpie's nest."

   Originally, this thought was just an occasional 'flash' thought in Xiong Qi's mind, but recently this thought flashed more and more frequently.

   It is almost impossible to rebel in Qin State by force.

   But what about another method?

  For example: a "King of Chu" was cultivated in Qin State.

  Compared to Yingzheng, Fusu has a much stronger sense of identity with Chu, because his uncle, mother, and great-grandmother are all from Chu, and even half of his own blood comes from Chu.

  Under such circumstances, compared with working under Yingzheng, if Fusu can be supported on the throne, then the voice of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" in Qin must be greatly increased.

  Even until the end, it is not completely impossible to subdue others without fighting and completely turn the entire Qin State into the territory of Chu State.

   This is the end of the thought.

  Some kind of conspiracy and desire that he had never imagined before, madness burned in Mr. Changping's heart.

finally·····

   Mr. Changping has entered the game.

  Greed for power blinded his eyes, causing him to miss many things, and finally jumped into the chess game that Ying Zheng had set up for him earlier.

at the same time.

the other side.

  In Xianyang [Mo Mansion], Mr. Mo, who had nothing to do, suddenly received an invitation letter from the palace.

   And when Mo Jun opened it and took a look, an extremely weird and troubled look suddenly appeared on his face.

   "My lord, are you all right?"

  It was the first time that Heiyu on the side saw Mo Jun showing such an expression, and couldn't help asking.

   Hear this statement.

  Jun Mo's complexion also gradually recovered, he shook his head lightly, pinched his eyebrows and said: "It's nothing, Hei Yu, go and prepare a generous gift for me. By the way, the meaning of the gift should be more festive."

   "?"

   "I don't know what the adults mean by 'happy'?"

  Hei Yu was puzzled for a moment, after thinking about it, it seems that no one related to Mo Jun has had any happy events recently.

  Mr. Mo rubbed his chin, and said with a weird expression, "Are you celebrating? Heiyu, you said that my wife has just been born. Should I give gifts according to the joy of getting married, or according to the joy of birth?"

  “······”

   "Here, my lord, please forgive my shallow knowledge."

  Hei Yu couldn't be straightened up by Mo Jun's words.

   "That's right, you single dog doesn't even have a girlfriend, let alone children. It's really hard for you to ask this question, forget it, you might as well prepare both gifts."

  Heiyu felt as if he had been attacked by his own adults, but he had no evidence, so he could only respond in the end: "Yes, this subordinate will go prepare now."
