Zhao Kuo sat in the palace, looking at the King of Qin in front of him and an eunuch. The palace was quiet, and even the warriors guarding the door left. Of course, this was the order of the King of Qin. The King of Qin drove away everyone, leaving only the eunuch, and called Zhao Kuo over. Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him, and he understood that something must have happened. The King of Qin opened his mouth several times, but could not speak.

His face changed many times in a short period of time, and his lips were trembling slightly. He really couldn't tell his most respected father about these things. He looked at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch was not stupid. He instantly understood the Qin King's thoughts. He looked at Zhao Kuo and then said, "Marquis Wucheng, I am here to report to the Yongcheng attendant Lao Ai." Zhao Kuo was stunned, "Luoai?", Who is this?

Seeing Zhao Kuo's confused appearance, the eunuch continued, "He was originally a commoner in the countryside. Because of his...Dayin, he was sent to the Empress Dowager by the Prime Minister. He was a fake eunuch. The Empress Dowager committed adultery with him and gave birth to two sons. Lao Ai was rude and often regarded himself as the father of the King of Qin... He contempts Hou Wenxin and Hou Wucheng... He summoned a group of villains in the countryside as his confidants, stayed overnight in the palace, bullied local officials, and allowed his subordinates to commit murder..."

The eunuch listed the crimes of this fake eunuch.

Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered this fake eunuch. He seemed to have some impression of this incident. Although he didn't know the name, there was indeed a fake eunuch incident in history. He was old and no longer able to remember everything like he was when he was young... And because he had experienced too many things over the years, Zhao Kuo could no longer remember this incident. After the eunuch informed him, Zhao Kuo remembered that if he remembered it well, this incident seemed to have triggered a rebellion?

Zhao Kuo frowned, and he looked at Zhao Zheng again, and Zhao Zheng's face turned red, and he was unable to face Zhao Kuo. Indeed, this fact was difficult to speak. Zhao Kuo could feel the humiliation in Zhao Zheng's heart, which also made him feel a little guilty. He should have recorded all these things when he still remembers everything... And more than 20 years later, it has become a bit difficult for him to write them down again.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to send someone to inquire about the situation... If it is true, I will kill Lao Ai first and then kill..."

Zhao Kuo was silent. He thought for a moment before saying, "Then let me go. I will go to Yongcheng to find out the situation. If something is wrong, I will deal with them..." The King of Qin looked at him and said seriously: "Father, Lu Buwei knew about this, but he did not tell me... He was lying to me. He treated me as a child, not as the king of Qin."

"Lu Buwei's approach is definitely wrong... But he has made great contributions to Qin over the years... If the eunuch's words are true, I hope you can pardon Lu Buwei's crimes and not hurt him because of this...Lu Buwei is guilty and should be punished, but must not be affected by the anger in your heart..." Zhao Kuo persuaded him a few times, but Zhao Zheng did not speak.

Zhao Kuo then stood up and said, "I'll go to Yongcheng now."

"Don't tell the public about this matter. The fewer people know about it, the better... I will deal with it properly." Zhao Kuo gave a few instructions before leaving the palace. When Zhao Kuo left the palace, Zhao Zheng looked at the eunuch, waved his hand, and let him leave. After the eunuch left, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Wei Liao, Qi, Yang Duanhe and others walked in and sat in front of the King of Qin.

The King of Qin looked at them and then said, "General Mengwu, please follow the emperor behind Wu Chenghou. I am very worried about my father's safety. If Lao Ai and other thieves want to siege him, you can directly lead the soldiers to kill them all." Mengwu nodded and left the palace. The King of Qin looked at Wang Jian again, and he said, "After my father left, please go to the residence of the prime minister, and no one is allowed to enter and exit, including those officials."

"If anyone dares to resist, you can kill them directly."

"only."

The King of Qin looked at Yang Duanhe again, and he said, "You take your army... to control those confidants of Lu Buwei... Similarly, if they dare to resist, you can kill them directly."

"only!"

The King of Qin finally looked at Wei Liao and Qi, and opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to guard the levels inside and outside Xianyang..." The King of Qin nodded. His face was no longer ashamed and angry as before, and he seemed a little calm. Such calmness made him look a little scary. He was not blinded by anger at all, and he was not as angry as Zhao Kuo imagined.

The King of Qin had almost no feelings for Zhao Ji. He grew up beside Zhao Kuo and Yi. Compared to Zhao Ji, Yi was more like his mother... For example, if Yi did such a thing and betrayed Zhao Zheng, then Zhao Zheng might be really dominated by anger and started a massacre. But now Zhao Ji, who has little feelings, just feels humiliated and has no other thoughts.

He didn't even remember what Zhao Ji looked like. Zhao Ji never came to see him after leaving Xianyang. To him, he was like a stranger, just occupying the righteousness of his mother... What made the King of Qin angry was not Zhao Ji committed adultery with others, but Lao Ai's remarks. The King of Qin's father wanted to accept Wu Chenghou as a guest? These arrogant remarks really angered the King of Qin.

Another thing that made the King of Qin angry was Lu Buwei's concealment. Lao Ai was even sent to Zhao Ji by Lu Buwei himself, which made the King of Qin very angry.

Therefore, he first sent his father to Yongcheng to deal with the insignificant villain, and he wanted to stay in Xianyang to deal with the Prime Minister Lu Buwei who deceived him. The King of Qin wanted to know why Lu Buwei did this and whether he had the intention to rebel. Therefore, he just put Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe on the surface, and the rest of the supporters were hidden. If Lu Buwei resisted Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe and summoned his confidants, the King of Qin would definitely wipe out all the power of Lu Buwei.

If you want to do these things, of course you have to pay your father aside.

Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion, but did not tell anyone about Lao Ai and Zhao Ji. He just told Yi that he was going to Yongcheng, and Yi naturally didn't think much about it. Zhao Kuo was preparing, and saw Kang walking to his side with a flattering look on his face and asked carefully: "Father? Are you going to Yongcheng?"

Zhao Kuo glanced at him and said, "No!"

Zhao Kang was anxious and shouted, "But I didn't say anything yet!"

"Then you tell me."

"Can you bring me with you when you go to Yongcheng?"

"no!"

Zhao Kang muttered something, turned around and left. Zhao Kuo packed up his things and Zhao Fu drove the car. They left Xianyang. As soon as they walked out of Xianyang, Zhao Kuo saw Meng Wu who was waiting for him. Meng Wu came to pay homage to Zhao Kuo, and then said to Zhao Kuo: "I am here to protect you by the order of the king." Zhao Kuo did not refuse his kindness. Meng Wu left some people to follow Zhao Kuo, and he led the army in the rear.

Shortly after Zhao Kuo left Xianyang, a new murderous intent appeared quietly. Lu Buwei was dealing with the situation in various places in his mansion. This year's cold disaster was very serious, and even frozen people to death. The disaster did not end in April, which affected the spring seeds of Qin this year. Lu Buwei felt a headache. Fortunately, the Zheng Guo Canal has been completed, and this year he can enjoy the benefits brought by the Zheng Guo Canal, which can reduce some losses to Qin.

Lu Buwei was arranging government affairs with his Lingshi. He said: "You feel that after Beidi County, you must prepare a large amount of food and grass in Xianyang, and be prepared to tell the local officials about sending these things to the disaster area, so that the local officials can prepare to help the victims, and let them count the losses caused by the disaster and the compensation needed..." Di, who was a man-like, nodded and wrote down Lu Buwei's instructions.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the noise outside the door. Before Lu Buwei could react, he saw the soldiers rushing into the mansion from outside. The soldiers held their spears tightly and rushed into the mansion one by one. The Prime Minister's Mansion was not too big, and there were only more than 200 officials working inside. Although there were not many soldiers rushing in now, their arrival made the Prime Minister's Mansion a little crowded.

After seeing these people, the officials who were working pulled out their swords. Although they didn't understand what was wrong, they still subconsciously drew out their weapons and looked at the soldiers around them with vigilance. After the soldiers rushed in and aimed the weapons at them, Wang Jian finally walked in. He looked at Lu Buwei seriously, and Lu Buwei was also looking at him.

"Wen Xinhou... Please let these people put down their weapons and not resist..."

"What are you just trying to do? Why do you want to surround my mansion?"

"I am following the orders of the king. Please don't make me embarrassed. Put down my weapons and don't resist, otherwise..." Wang Jian did not continue, his words were full of threats to Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei's confidants could not sit still at this moment. They looked at Wang Jian angrily and said, "What's wrong with Wen Xinhou? The king should treat him like this? How do you prove that this is the order of the king?"

Only then did Wang Jian ask someone to bring the order of King Qin and read it to everyone.

The order was very short, with only a few words, which means that Lu Buwei was suspected of treason and could not go out before investigation. Everyone looked at Lu Buwei in fear, but Lu Buwei lowered his head and looked confused. He didn't understand why the King of Qin suddenly took action against him. Although the two had always had conflicts over the issue of King of Qin's rule, it would not have been like this.

I have been delegating power all these years, just to let the King of Qin control the country little by little. Can't he even endure this little time?

Lu Buwei frowned, but said to his confidants: "Put down the weapon..." Everyone hesitated for a long time before putting away their long sword. Speaking of which, there are not many soldiers surrounding them now, and they still have a chance to break through. However, Lu Buwei did not give such an order. He just sat in his position, frowned, and looked depressed.

In order to seize power from one's own hands, would he arrange for such a crime of treason?

It can be said that the accusation of King Qin made Lu Buwei feel disappointed in an instant.

At the same time, Yang Duanhe also controlled Lu Buwei's confidant family, all of Lu Buwei's residences, his family, and those who helped him compile books were also controlled by Yang Duanhe. These people did not understand what was going on, but they were all very scared. Then, Xianyang began martial law and issued an order to let the people return home and not go out. Those who went out would be arrested, and officials from all over the country took action.

The pavilion leaders all took their pavilions to guard the road, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't know what happened in Xianyang. He was just rushing towards Yongcheng, thinking about how to solve this matter. Zhao Ji's affairs were difficult to deal with. No matter what, she was the mother of the King of Qin. If she killed her... Alas, Zhao Kuo shook his head, which was why he took the initiative to rush to Yongcheng. Zhao Zheng called himself first, obviously he didn't want others to know.

It is best to do this matter quietly, and execute what should be executed, and imprison what should be imprisoned, so that everyone knows it.

Zhao Kuo was thinking, and suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Zhao Kuo was stunned, raised his head, and a team of knights rushed out of the distance. The knights looked a little out of a mess, dressed, holding strong bows, and roaring towards him. Behind them was a military carriage. Around the luxurious military carriage were some county soldiers, and their number was increasing. Zhao Kuo initially calculated that there were about two or three thousand people.

There were not many soldiers in Xianyang, because there were no city walls and no garrisons. When the soldiers from all over the world were not summoned, there were only some county soldiers in Xianyang, with no more than 3,000 people. Meng Wu, who was following Zhao Kuo, was carrying more than 1,000 people. However, there were not only county soldiers on the opposite side, and they were dressed differently. Even those knights did not look like cavalry of Qin, but they were completely private escorts.

In Qin State, it is not allowed to keep a disciple. Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes. He saw the man sitting in the chariot, with a pale face and no beard. He was excitedly pointing in the direction where he was, roaring loudly. The knights shouted and continued to charge towards him. Zhao Kuo didn't say a word, but calmly picked up his bow and arrow from the carriage and stood up. The soldiers behind him rushed over, but Meng Wu stood up with Zhao Kuo as the center.

After Lao Ai knew that the eunuchs went to Xianyang to complain, he immediately summoned his confidants and used the seal of the empress dowager to summon soldiers from nearby counties and counties. Lao Ai's idea was very simple. Xianyang had no city walls, no garrisons, and there were not many people. As long as he launched a sneak attack, he would definitely be able to capture Xianyang, capture the King of Qin alive, and then take him hostage to order to control Qin. His army had just left Yongcheng and discovered the Qin army in front of him.

Lao Ai didn't know how to fight or march. He could only see one thing, he could see that the other party had few people and his own people.
