Chapter 265 Death
Xianyang.
【Mo Fu】.
On the second day after returning from Xianyang Palace, Mr. Mo's attention continued to focus on the movements of Mr. Changping and the "Chu foreign relatives".
Older gingers are more spicy.
Without the slightest hint, the Empress Dowager Huayang obviously noticed something, otherwise she would not have said that kind of 'pleading' to herself in Huayang Palace just now.
But unfortunately it was too late.
Jun Changping moved very quickly. Although he hasn’t taken any concrete action yet, according to Yingzheng’s intelligence system, Mr. Changping’s people have made sufficient preparations in secret, and can help Fusu complete the construction of the ‘Zhengguo Canal’ at any time.
That alone.
is enough to make Mr. Changping sentenced to death in Ying Zheng's heart.
"Da da da ~~"
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, and then an old servant was seen walking towards Mo Jun in a hurry.
"What's the matter? In such a hurry." Mo Jun asked curiously.
"My lord, it's not good. The news just came from the palace that the empress dowager has passed away."
"What?"
Jun Mo stood up suddenly, his pupils shrank.
Yesterday when he and Xia Wujue were taking the pulse of the Empress Dowager Huayang, although the pulse condition diagnosed by Xia Wujue was a little weak, there was no major disaster in general. Why did she suddenly pass away today.
Of course, according to the age of the Empress Dowager Huayang, sudden sudden death is not impossible.
But for some reason.
Mr. Mo always felt that there seemed to be something strange in it, but he couldn't think of any clues for a while.
The main reason is that the death of the Empress Dowager Huayang at this time seems a bit too coincidental.
Until not long after.
Following a secret letter from Yingzheng's intelligence system, Mo Jun was shocked after reading it.
【The plan has changed. 】
【At noon today, Lord Changping Xiong Qi personally ordered the arrest of 23 officials involved in the 'Zheng Guoqu' corruption case, 15 of whom were officials from the 'Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage'...]
After reading the contents of this secret letter, even Mo Jun couldn't help but feel his teeth ache.
"Good guy."
"This old lady is really ruthless!"
At this moment, how could Mr. Mo not understand what the Empress Dowager Huayang was planning to do.
It’s just one sentence.
The empress dowager exchanged her own life for the lives of the brothers Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun!
When the Empress Dowager Huayang asked Mo Jun to go to Huayang Palace, she had obviously discovered something, otherwise she would not have suddenly thought of resolving the conflict between Mo Jun and Changping Jun and others.
Then what is it about resolving the conflict? It is clearly pleading for Mr. Changping. He probably guessed at that time that Mr. Mo also played an important role in this game.
But it's a pity that she realized it too late, and Mo Jun didn't dare to answer her plea.
Although Mr. Changping has not yet implemented the final action at this time, the most important thing for Yingzheng's layout is not what you do, but the choice you make.
no doubt.
At this time, it would be too late for him to stop in time, and the Empress Dowager Huayang clearly knew this.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Huayang immediately ordered Lord Changping to kill his relatives righteously, and arrested all those involved in the corruption case of 'Zheng Guoqu'.
But this alone is not enough, so the Empress Dowager Huayang chose to let herself die at an appropriate time.
Do not misunderstand.
The reason why the Empress Dowager Huayang chose to "death" suddenly was not simply because she wanted Yingzheng to take pity on her.
From the moment she saw through Yingzheng's layout, the Empress Dowager Huayang knew that Yingzheng's pity could no longer be exchanged for her old face, because at this time Yingzheng had grown into a real emperor, cold and ruthless.
But as long as she dies, Ying Zheng needs to 'keep filial piety' for her.
During the filial piety period, blood should not be seen.
more importantly.
If she, the Empress Dowager Huayang, had just died, and Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, who were relatives from Chu, died together, then what would others think of the king Yingzheng.
So after her death, at least for a short period of time Yingzheng will not attack them.
This can be regarded as the "hardness" of the Empress Dowager Huayang.
And asking Mr. Changping to personally arrest all the corrupt officials in the 'Zheng Guoqu' case and handing them all over to Yingzheng means asking Mr. Changping to make amends to Yingzheng, which is 'soft'.
The fate of these dozens of corrupt officials is not as simple as going to jail. It can be said that from the moment they were sent to Yingzheng by Lord Changping, they were already dead.
Because they were sent to Yingzheng to vent their anger by the Queen Mother Huayang and Lord Changping, and not only them, but the entire "clan of foreign relatives from Chu", including the two brothers Changping Lord and Chang Wenjun, will suffer a great deal this time. hit.
This is the inevitable result.
Because Mr. Changping made too many mistakes this time.
If he wants to survive, Mr. Changping must pay a very painful price. Only by venting the anger in Ying Zheng's heart can he survive.
Fortunately, Mr. Changping was noticed by the Empress Dowager Huayang as soon as he stepped into the gate of **** with one foot. Otherwise, once the other foot was also stepped out, no matter how much Mr. Changping paid, he would only have a dead end.
The Empress Dowager Huayang's move is "both soft and hard", not to mention someone else, even Mo Jun couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.
This move is really exciting.
To know.
Originally, even Mr. Mo was already hopeless this time, Mr. Changping, but now after the operation of the Queen Mother Huayang, although the status of the entire "Chu foreign relatives lineage" and Mr. Changping and others will inevitably plummet in the future, at least They still have a chance to survive.
For the sake of the relatives of Chu State, the Queen Mother Huayang of Qin State really devoted herself to death.

the other side.
Frontline battlefield.
The Qin army and the Zhao Wei coalition army have fought for no less than 20 to 30 rounds. After the two armies saw each other's blood, the war between the two sides became more and more intense.
But in general, the advantage is still on Qin's side.
After all, the Qin army had strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. Especially after the army led by Ying Zheng arrived and brought a large amount of supplies, the food for the soldiers could almost catch up with the horses.
Please don't laugh.
Soldiers' meals catch up with horses, this is not a derogatory term, but a very serious commendatory term.
Because in ancient times, war horses were much more expensive than humans. Especially during wars, people could eat less food, but war horses could not. Even in the worst period of the Qin State, war horses had to be fed with forage and grains. Double match.
If converted into later generations, it probably feels like the food standard of military dogs.
So saying that people eat like horses is definitely a boast.
