This is the culinary art of the realm of harmony between man and nature, the unity of man and nature, and the harmony between man and nature. Although the food cooked by Li Xuanqing cannot increase his cultivation, it can help to understand the state of mind of heaven and man, and the improvement of state of mind will also feed back the improvement of skill .
Concubine Yan secretly said: "It turned out that it was not an illusion when I ate golden fried rice at noon. The food cooked by Li Xuanqing was actually helpful for cultivation. Although it was not obvious, one meal was equivalent to a day of cultivation, but if it was three meals a day, wouldn't it It is equivalent to the three days of monks in the past, it has been a long time, and one year is equivalent to three years."
Concubine Yan's heart was moved, her heart was pounding, her heart was moved by the practice accelerator, she looked at Yan Lingji who was enjoying the food, and said in her heart: "Isn't this girl simple? She should have noticed this, so she was willing to let Li Xuanqing Give and take."
"However, Yan Lingji, are you compromising for the food, or have you already fallen in love with the master Li Xuanqing in your heart?"
Concubine Yan discarded distracting thoughts, and she quickly ate a basket of Shenglong dumplings. She then closed her eyes and meditated, practicing the five elements of innate art, constantly comprehending and digesting the spiritual touch brought by Shenglong dumplings.
Yan Lingji is also digesting food. Firstly, Shenglong dumplings are the top medicinal food in the world, which has a nourishing effect on the human body. Second, its cosmic delicacy can touch and move people's hearts, and they will be enlightened and grow.
Time passed and night fell.
Li Xuanqing, Concubine Yan, and Yan Lingji stood on the attic of "Purple Orchid Garden", overlooking the Xianyang Palace. In the direction of Qinian Palace, there were continuous torches, and soldiers and horses charged, shouting to kill and shaking the sky.
Concubine Yan said: "It seems that Lai Ai has already entered Qinian Palace, intending to launch a coup."
Yan Lingji asked: "Master, aren't you going to help Ying Zheng?"
Li Xuanqing looked at the two daughters and said: "Mr. Changping and Lord Changwen are in charge of most of the Xianyang palace soldiers, and among them are the elite warriors they cultivated hard, which can withstand Lai Ai."
"Meng Tian, the young master of the Meng family, this person has joined Yingzheng, and the Golden Fire Cavalry under his command is one against ten, and only two or three thousand heavy armored cavalry are needed to disperse the Lai Ai cavalry team."
"No matter how you look at it, Lai Ai will definitely lose."
Yan Lingji asked: "But, what about the trap?"
Li Xuanqing smiled lightly, and said: "When I saw him the day before yesterday, I realized that Ge Nie's aura was better than before, and he has already been promoted to a top expert."
"The slave of the six swords has lost the famous weapon of the king of Yue, and his combat power has been greatly damaged. With Gai Nie's swordsmanship and the inheritance of Guigu, Gai Nie can fight even if he loses to the slave of the six swords."
"With the help of hundreds of elite armored soldiers, it will be easy for Ge Nie to protect Yingzheng and repel the six sword slaves."
Li Xuanqing said lightly: "Furthermore, Lord Changping is the head of the Chu faction in the Qin State. Lord Changping of the Qin State has always been friends with farmers and Mohist families. He has recruited a lot of Jianghu warriors under his command. With the help of those Jianghu masters, there is a good chance of winning the government." A few more points."
"Of course..." Li Xuanqing gazed into the distance, looking deep into the Qinling Mountains, and seemed to see a crimson spider web covering the whole world.
Li Xuanqing said in a low voice: "Of course, this is also related to Luo Wang's failure to attack with all his strength. With Luo Wang's energy, if he is about to get serious, the whole world will be shaken by it."
Yan Lingji asked: "Master, you mean the two mysterious elders who are above the Eight Swords of King Luowangyue, the masters of the Thousand Feather Blade and the Jinghong Sword in the mouth of the Shocking Salamander?"
Li Xuanqing nodded.
Yan Lingji said curiously: "Luo Wang is so strange that he divided his first-class Tianzi killer into two, and teamed up with Lu Buwei and Lao Ai respectively."
"Now, Lai Ai raised his troops to seek rebellion, and Luo Wang didn't fully help."
Li Xuanqing smiled and said: "Lao Ai is too stupid. He is the enemy of the whole Qin country, and he is destined not to last long. Luo Wang's cooperation with him is just to use the platform provided by Lai Ai to quickly recruit and control people from the world and death row prisoners in Qin's death row. Expand your power."
"Luo Wang never obeys anyone. Whether it is Lu Buwei, Lai Ai, or even Yingzheng, they are the targets they can cooperate with. Luo Wang is only loyal to power, develops rapidly by relying on power, and never overrides power. Trying to control the common people."
Concubine Yan and Yan Lingji were surprised when they heard the words: "This trap is so ambitious."
Li Xuanqing turned to look at Xianyang, seeing the flames of Qi Nian Palace overwhelmed the rebels of Lai Ai, the corner of her mouth was lightly pursed and said: "Ying Zheng has won."
"From today, Qin will usher in the most powerful monarch in the history of their country, and the pattern of the world will also change because of Ying Zheng."
Chapter 132 Killing Lao Ai, Yingzheng Takes Power
At the dawn of dawn, Qinian Palace Square.
Standing with a sword in his hand, Gai Nie is a young man in his twenties, named Nai Nie, with a white and stern face without saying a word, his sword is stained with blood, and drops of blood drip from the tip of the sword.
Stabbing... Long Xiang's sword returned to its sheath, the blade and the scabbard rubbed sparks, the sword returned to its sheath, Ge Nie stood beside Ying Zheng holding the sword, his blue and white gown was stained with blood.
In front of Yingzheng and Gai Nie, twenty or thirty snare killers all fell down and died under Gai Nie's sword.
After the body of the net killer, hundreds of armored soldiers guarded Yingzheng and Gai Nie. Most of the dead soldiers under Lao Ai's command and the net killer were isolated by them. Only a few broke through the army formation, and those few killers were all killed by Gai Nie. None were spared.
Gai Nie's eyes narrowed slightly. At dawn and dusk, outside Qi Nian Palace, six injured figures quickly jumped between the palace walls, quickly flew back, and escaped successfully.
The two armored soldiers clasped their fists together and said: "Please also punish the king, the subordinate is incompetent, let the slave of the six swords escape."
Two armored soldiers, one is Sima Yufu, he is Meng Tian's lieutenant general, and also the young master of the Sima family of the old Qin army, and the acquired nine-level general.
The other person, Lord Changping's confidant, Qubu of Chu State, has followed Lord Changping for many years, is the peak of the outer gang, and is the head of all the disciples under Lord Changping's command.
Lord Changping, his father is King Chu Kaolie, his mother is the daughter of King Qin Zhaoxiang Yingji, and his younger sister is the marriage partner of Yingzheng, so Lord Changping is Yingzheng's cousin, great-uncle, and elder brother-in-law.
Nima, this seniority, the noble circle is really chaotic.
With Lord Changping's background, the nobles of Chu and Qin all have supporters, and it is quite normal for him to have one or two Waigang masters serving under his command.
Qu Bu, the peak of the Waigang, is the confidant left behind by the former King Chu Kaolie when he was hostage to the Qin State, and the general who stayed to take care of, support, and protect Lord Changping.
Ying Zheng looked at Sima Yufu and Qu Bu, and said: "The two lovers bravely killed the enemy, killed the killer of the net, and the dead man of Lai Ai, and assisted Mr. Gai in defeating the six slaves of the net. reason."
"After this battle, I will reward you for your merits."
Sima Yufu and Qu Bu clasped their fists together and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Report!" A fast horse came, and it was the cavalry of the Meng family army, wearing a golden armor and a black iron helmet on his head. Lai Ai rebels and captured all of Lao Ai and others alive, and they are on their way to be escorted into the palace."
Hearing this, Yingzheng lifted his spirits and said in a loud voice: "Order Changping Jun to escort Lao Ai and others to the execution ground, and the widow will personally order the punishment of rebellion."
"In addition, order Meng Tian to lead an army of [-] to surround Yongcheng, not to let anyone in the palace escape, no matter men, women, old or young, he is not allowed to leave before the widow arrives in Yongcheng."
The soldier took the order and said, "No."
The cavalry got on their horses and went to deliver orders.
Agitation appeared on Yingzheng's calm face, and the depression in his heart poured out, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Xuanqing is really a man of genius. A single temptation made Lai Ai raise an army and plot against him, and gave the widow a reason to kill him openly. "
"Lao Ai's troubles are gone!"
Of course, Ying Zheng also knew that Li Xuanqing only provided him with an excellent opportunity to kill Lai Ai and helped him weave a deadlock for Lai Ai.
Ying Zheng knew very well that if he was the man he was a year ago, he would definitely fail if this opportunity came up today.
A year ago, Yingzheng only made good friends with Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, and the forces of the Chu family hadn't fully voted for him; besides, Meng Tian hadn't voted for him either.
Except for Gai Nie, who is at the top of the outside world and can fight against the top masters, Ying Zheng doesn't have any forces or officials of his own around him.
It's different now. Lai Ai and Lu Buwei are pressing harder and harder, controlling the court, and compressing the living space of the Chu lineage civil servants headed by Changping Jun. Changping Jun and the others can no longer bear it, they can only fight back, and join forces with Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, his mind was clear, he had wanted to kill Lai Ai for a long time, and now he finally got rid of the cancer of the Great Qin Dynasty, Lai Ai, and let out the depression in his heart.
Ying Zheng said in his heart: "One's own strength is fundamental, and the opportunity provided by Mr. Xuanqing is also extremely important. If it were not for this opportunity, it would take more thought and more time to cut off Lai Ai, half a year, a year, or even more." How long?"
"Besides, the slave of the six swords can kill the top. Now that he lost the famous weapon of the king of Yue, his combat power was greatly reduced, so he was easily blocked by Gai Nie and repelled by hundreds of elites."
An hour later, the execution ground of Qin State.
On the execution ground, more than [-] people, including Lao Ai, Wei Weijie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Yijiu, and Zhongdafu Lingqi, were escorted to the execution ground. , is the person who was pushed into the court by Lai Ai to become an official, and is the civil and military team of Lai Ai who intervened in the Qin government.
Lai Ai's rebellion this time was when Wei Weijie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Yijiu, and the Chinese doctor Ling Qi and others opened the city gate of Xianyang, let Lai Ai enter the palace, and assisted the rebels in entering the Qinian Palace. "Qinian Palace Rebellion" or "Lao Ai Rebellion".
Unfortunately, they didn't expect that all of this was a trap woven by Li Xuanqing, Ying Zheng, Chang Pingjun, and Meng Tian, and it was a dead end to invite the king into the urn.
The Lai Ai rebels combined to attack more than [-] people, including [-] elite warriors, hundreds of warriors and killers. This is an extremely powerful combat force, but it was planned in advance by Ying Zheng and the others. They targeted them one by one and defeated them all. .
On the execution ground, seeing Ying Zheng, Lai Ai yelled, "Ying Zheng, you can't kill me. I am your false father. The queen mother will never allow you to kill me."
"I want to see the Queen Mother, I want to see the Queen Mother."
A soldier's complexion changed, and he covered Lao Ai's mouth with a cotton cloth.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't stop me, just let the dog bark."
The soldiers were ordered to let go of Lai Ai's mouth, and Lai Ai yelled loudly, wanting to see the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was indifferent, Lao Ai cursed: "Back then, when I carried you from the Empress Dowager's bedroom back to Qinian Palace late at night, I should have thrown you off the wall and threw you to death. If it wasn't for a moment of mercy, how could I be in trouble today? .”
Ying Zheng crossed over to Lai Ai, came to Wei Weijie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Yijie, Chinese doctor Ling Qi and others, and said in a cold voice: "You are Qin officials, but you are doing treasonous things, and you don't want to serve the country. If you don't miss your kindness, you should be beheaded."
"Come here, behead these rebellious officials and thieves for public display."
The soldier took the order: "No!"
When the guillotine was brought up, the expressions of more than [-] people, including Wei Weijie, Nei Shisi, Zuo Yijiu, and the Chinese doctor Ling Qi, changed drastically. They are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Ying Zheng looked calm, waved his hand and said, "Cut."
shhhhhh...
The guillotine fell all at once, and more than twenty people were beheaded in an instant, and their heads were displayed to the public. When they were seen by the soldiers of the Qin State, and by the people of the Qin State, they also severely shocked all the civil and military officials of the Qin State.
Ying Zheng ignored Lao Ai, who continued to bark, and waved his hand: "The chief thief, Lao Ai, has committed a heinous crime. He has caused chaos in the government and rebelled against him. According to the laws of Qin, the barbarians will destroy the three clans, and they will be sentenced to death by five horses."
"Come here, and take Lai Ai into custody. After three days, all her family members will be arrested and tortured together with her family members. It will be announced to the public, so as to imitate others and prove the laws of Qin."
"Nuo" the soldier nodded, and pressed Lao Ai down.
Ying Zheng watched Lai Ai go away, he wished to kill Lai Ai immediately, it would be an insult to him if Lai Ai lived for another quarter of an hour, but for his mother Zhao Ji, for the reputation of the Qin royal family, for the reputation of his father, and for himself , Lai Ai still needs to live a few more days.
"Mr. Xuanqing, you really solved a big problem for me, thank you very much."
Yingzheng remembered what Li Xuanqing said to him in his mind - capture Lai Ai alive, castrate her, and roast her with fire. After a few days, it will be like years of eunuchs, and then strip Lai Ai naked and make it public. The rumors and gossips of the queen mother can be eliminated in an instant, and the truth will be revealed to the world.
To be honest, apart from Li Xuanqing, no one in the world can think of this method.
When Ying Zheng heard it, he was shocked, absurd, and amazed by it, and said to himself: "Mr. Xuanqing is really, really amazing!"
Chapter 133 Zhao Ji's Ending, Lai Ai's Death
Yongcheng, the palace.
Yingzheng came to the Palace of Yongcheng, the accompanying capital, to meet Zhao Ji.
When the mother and son met, they were silent and had complicated emotions. Ying Zheng had too many, many things he wanted to ask his mother, the Queen Mother of Qin.
Ying Zheng had too many puzzles and complaints in his heart.
【Mother, you are my mother, my biological mother, why do you stay away from Zheng'er and get close to Chengjiao, and even once wanted to abolish me and embrace Chengjiao as king? 】
[Queen Mother, do you know that when I was young, Lai Ai carried me back to Qinian Palace and almost made me fall off the city wall. I was terrified, so I could only pretend not to notice and keep calm. Really scared. 】
【Mother, father is dead, you are Zheng'er's only relative in this world.However, you have changed, you have changed, you are extravagant and dissipated, you don’t know how difficult and lonely your son is living in this palace. 】
[Queen mother, why did you betray your father, betray your father and keep the face head in captivity, and let Lao Ai be arrogant, riding on your Zheng'er's head to show off your might? 】
[Zhong's father is obsessed with power, and he grew up in fear of Zheng'er.But mother, you are Zheng'er's mother, why are you also afraid of Zheng'er growing up, why do you keep Qin Wang Yuxi from letting go? 】
……
One question after another came to Yingzheng's mind. He really wanted to ask his mother, Zhao Ji, why?Why?Why?
Zhao Ji spoke, with tears in her beautiful eyes: "Zheng'er, can you spare Lao Ai and bypass Brother Long'er?"
Before Yingzheng could speak, Zhao Ji hurriedly said: "The queen mother assures you that she will no longer be in charge of King Qin Yuxi, will no longer interfere in the government affairs, will no longer let Lai Ai hold power, and abolish him as the Marquis of Changxin."
"Besides, Brother Long'er will definitely not argue with you. They are still young and don't know anything. They, they are also your brothers."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Ying Zheng clenched his teeth, his gums were bleeding, and he sneered, "Brothers, brothers, the queen mother actually said they are my brothers? No, widows don't have brothers, neither Cheng Jiao nor they."
"They are just the evil seeds born of Lai Ai and you, evil seeds that cannot be tolerated in the world."
"Even now, your mother is still pleading for Lai Ai, have you ever thought about me, what will happen if I fail?"
"Huh—" Chief Ying Zheng breathed out, his expression was calm, his eyes were dark, and a lonely and cold aura filled his whole body, he turned around and left slowly, and said quietly: "Mother, you really let me down so much. "
"From now on, you can retire in Yongcheng. You and I, mother and son, will never see each other again in life or death."
Hearing this, Zhao Ji had a pitiful look on her face, her beautiful eyes were weeping, and her originally beautiful and youthful appearance instantly aged seven or eight years, her face was haggard, and her eyes were dull.
"Regardless of life or death, we will never see each other again, Zheng'er, you are so cruel!"
Ying Zheng walked out of the palace, the door closed, and the moment the door closed, Zhao Ji's life, Zhao Ji's power, and Zhao Ji's arrogance and lust were also closed.
Zhao Ji fell to the ground, and the cold floor couldn't compare to the sadness in her heart. Her slender legs, plump body, beautiful and charming face, mature and enchanting temperament... her beauty and youth are fading.
Bang!
The door was closed, and Ying Zheng walked out of the bedroom without looking back.
Ying Zheng was disappointed, and completely disappointed in Zhao Ji. To this day, Zhao Ji, the empress mother, doesn't think she did anything wrong, and even pleads for Lai Ai and those two evils.
Outside the palace is an open-air square.
Gai Nie stood with his sword in his hand, looked at Ying Zheng from the corner of his eye, and there was a flash of emotion in his eyes, not sympathy, not pity, but a kind of understanding, he seemed to understand Ying Zheng's difficulty and loneliness.
In the surrounding squares, thousands of armored soldiers stood in the formation, full of iron and blood.
