His eyes suddenly focused, and at this moment, Lu Buwei no longer had the mind to feel sad about the passing of time.

"Someone is coming!!"

Accompanied by Lu Buwei's angry shout.

The next moment, the door opened instantly, and several Luowang assassins who were responsible for protecting Lu Buwei's safety rushed into the room in a short time.

Glancing over the assassins in front of him, Lü Buwei said in a deep voice, "Who among you let Prince Ying An in?"

The Luowang killers looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, one of the assassins from Luowang confessed, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, since the guests left, no one has come to visit us again!"

Frowning, Lü Buwei looked at the Luowang assassins in front of him suspiciously and said, "When I was in the room just now, was there no one who came in?"

Many Luowang killers nodded in unison.

After a moment of silence, Lü Buwei reluctantly asked, "Did you hear the conversation between me and Young Master Ying An just now?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister was the only one in the room just now. And... and there was no sound at all!!"

The moment the words fell, even Luowang's killers were stunned.

After all, Lu Buwei was in the room, so it was impossible for there to be no sound at all.

Never forget that with the strength of Luowang's killers, even if Lu Buwei didn't make any sound, his heartbeat and breathing alone would be enough for them to feel his presence.

But unfortunately, inside this room, they did not notice any signs of living people in the room.

It was obvious that they were responsible for Lu Buwei's safety, but just now, there was a strange feeling, as if everyone subconsciously ignored it.

There seemed to be an inexplicable voice in their minds, or perhaps an impression deeply imprinted in their consciousness, which made them ignore everything that was wrong. They foolishly guarded the door of the room where there was no movement until Lü Buwei summoned them personally.

"Prime Minister... Prime Minister!" Another Luowang assassin said, his voice trembling, "Just now...just now, I didn't sense anyone in the room. Even...even the Prime Minister disappeared."

Lu Buwei now completely understood that Prince Ying An should not be underestimated as he had been able to hide in the Xianyang Palace for so long.

Although he didn't know what this strange method was, Lü Buwei felt complicated and at the same time, he felt relieved.

With the ambitious and talented Ying Zheng and the mysterious and unpredictable Ying An, he probably doesn't need to worry about the future of the Qin Dynasty.

"You guys go down!" He waved his hand, signaling the Luowang killer in front of him to leave.

After returning to the room, Lu Buwei took out a brand new roll of bamboo slips, spread it out, held a pen, and began to write.

The next day, a piece of news that shocked the seven countries spread from the court of the Qin Dynasty.

Lü Buwei, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty who had once created a rare commodity, destroyed the Zhou Dynasty's legal system, and pressured the King of Qin to delay his personal rule, actually took the initiative to resign from the King of Qin!

Unexpectedly, this was not a retreat for Lu Buwei to advance. King Ying Zheng of Qin even agreed to Lu Buwei's request on the spot and allowed Lu Buwei to retire and return home.

However, King Ying Zheng of Qin did not do anything completely. Instead, he gave Lü Buwei enough posthumous reputation, still leaving him with the title of Marquis Wenxin, and also gave him 30,000 food fiefs in Shu.

In Ying An's mansion, after hearing what happened in the court today, Ying An sighed softly.

Lü Buwei was more decisive than he had imagined. Perhaps he felt threatened by Ying Zheng. However, his departure meant that Ying Zheng had completely taken control of the government and was about to launch a war to unify the country.

The first to be affected is South Korea!!

If things go as expected, the task of destroying South Korea will most likely fall on Ying An's head.

After all, the key point of imitating the strategy of attacking Guo by pretending to be in another country is that Ying An marries Princess Honglian.

In the name of welcoming the bride, he personally led the army to destroy the Kingdom of Han. Even though Ying An could not give orders in person.

But the credit for this is definitely due to him.

Who can blame the fact that there are so many smart military figures in the Qin Dynasty?

According to the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, destroying a country is undoubtedly the greatest achievement.

However, among the six states in Shandong, Han was the weakest. In the military, no matter which famous general wanted to take greater credit for the unification of the Qin Dynasty, he would definitely not compete for the first credit for destroying Han.

And Ying Zheng absolutely did not mind giving the credit for the destruction of Han to Ying An, thereby establishing Ying An's position as the crown prince in the future.

With Ying Zheng taking complete control of the power, Qin, a ferocious country with the heritage of six generations of kings, finally began to prepare for the unification of the world.

Yet, at this moment, the six states of Shandong were still immersed in their prosperity and splendor. Even though everyone knew that Han would be the first target of the Qin Dynasty, they did not feel the slightest sense of crisis.

Even King An of Han was happily thinking that after marrying Honglian to the Qin State, this marriage would bring at least a dozen years of peace.

Unfortunately, King Han An didn't know that the marriage between Ying An and Hong Lian would be the death knell of the Kingdom of Han.

During the period when Ying Zheng gradually consolidated his power, Han Fei and Li Si became the most dazzling twin stars in the Qin court.

Although both of these brothers were disciples of Xunzi, a member of the Confucian clan, they chose to follow the path of Legalism, especially Han Fei, who was the culmination of Legalism.

By using laws, tactics and power, Ying Zheng became the powerful and true King of Qin in the shortest possible time.

However, when the preparations for unifying the world were gradually getting on track, something unexpected happened.

Ying Zheng officially became the King of Qin and took control of the power of the Qin State, so naturally he had to conduct sacrificial activities to announce his decision to his ancestors.

However, the place where the Qin ancestors were worshipped was not in Xianyang, but in the present-day Yongcheng, which was also the capital of the Qin before Xianyang.

After all, when the Qin State was weak, it was repeatedly attacked by the six states in Shandong, and its capital was moved several times. Liyang and Yongcheng were both former capitals of the Qin State.

When the King of Qin went to Yongcheng to offer sacrifices, adult princes like Fusu and Ying An naturally had to go with him.

When receiving this news, Ying An instantly remembered something crucial.

Even though Ying Zheng successfully expelled Lu Buwei and moved his entire family to Shu, there is still a huge hidden danger in the Qin Dynasty that needs to be solved.

Lao Ai!!

That's right! !

Because of Ying An's sudden appearance, Lu Buwei became Ying Zheng's target first. At this time, Lao Ai, who moved to Yongcheng with Queen Mother Zhao Ji to hide his tracks, became a dark figure under the lamp.

At this moment, Ying Zheng proposed to go to Yongcheng to worship the ancestors. It is obvious that Lao Ai would take action.

Lao Ai was not a fool. After Lu Buwei's downfall, how could he not know that he would definitely not have a good ending?

In the past, for the sake of Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng might have pretended that Lao Ai didn't exist. But Lao Ai and Zhao Ji should never have indulged in lust and thought of having an illegitimate child.

Among the empress dowagers of the Qin Dynasty, there were also some who kept concubines, but none of them was as foolish as Zhao Ji.

“Yongcheng!!”

Ying An, who had received the order from Ying Zheng that he and Fusu would accompany him to Yongcheng to worship their ancestors, had a complicated look on his face.

"Husband, what's wrong with this Yongcheng ancestor worship?" Dongjun keenly sensed that Yongcheng seemed to have some unspeakable meaning in Ying'an's heart. And it was a hugely negative meaning.

Ying An was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Nothing, I just thought of a clown who overestimated his own abilities."

Yongcheng, the clown who overestimated his own abilities? This series of coincidences made Dongjun lock onto the target in his mind almost in the blink of an eye.

Marquis Changxin, Lao Ai!!

The rumors about Lao Ai and Queen Mother Zhao Ji were no longer a secret throughout the Qin Dynasty.

After all, Ying Zheng had not yet taken power, and Lao Ai was a retainer under Lu Buwei. Even if many people knew about it, they would have kept it to themselves.

Now that Lü Buwei has fallen, Lao Ai, a man who overestimates his own capabilities, will naturally become a thorn in the hearts of everyone in the Qin State, especially Ying An.

Don't forget, no matter what, Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng's biological mother. She is also Ying An's grandmother!! A blood grandmother!!

This is an urgent problem that even Dongjun doesn't know how to deal with.

After a brief silence, Dongjun's heart hardened. She quietly grasped Ying An's hand and said, "Husband, the Yin-Yang family possesses the Yin-Yang Eight Meridians Curse, which can cause a person to die without even noticing. If... if you don't know how to make a decision, how about I, your concubine, take action and send the Queen Mother away!"

Ying An was really surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that making such a suggestion was in line with Dong Jun's character.

After all, Dongjun was a ruthless man who was willing to completely give up his years of feelings for the Yin-Yang Family for Ying'an and was willing to die together with Donghuang Taiyi and Bei Mingzi.

For the sake of Ying An's reputation, it is not difficult to understand that he proposed to use means such as the Six Souls Curse to send Zhao Ji to the west early.

Who can blame Dongjun for being willing to give up everything for the one he loves once he is in love?

Ying An's heart softened, and he opened his arms, embracing Dong Jun in his embrace, saying, "Madam, you're worrying too much. Although this matter may be more troublesome to resolve, it doesn't require Madam to do it herself!"

Nestled in Ying An's arms, Dongjun nodded gently and said, "I have overstepped my bounds. If you really want to do this, with your methods, I think you can handle it without anyone noticing!"

The fact is indeed as Dongjun said, killing Zhao Ji would not be difficult for Ying An at all. Even in this world, Zhao Ji is not a weak dancer. She has a good martial arts training. Although the martial arts she has cultivated are specialized in maintaining her youthful appearance and tend to be seductive, they are not very effective in combat.

If Ying An really wanted to kill Zhao Ji, the magic of the soul alone would be enough to torture Zhao Ji to death.

Ying An really had no feelings for Zhao Ji, and he would not feel the slightest bit of reluctance to kill Zhao Ji.

But Ying Zheng was different.

Never forget that no matter what Zhao Ji is like now, when Ying Zheng was a hostage in Handan, Zhao State, it was because of his mother Zhao Ji that Ying Zheng was able to survive and return to Qin and even inherit the throne.

Ying An, who had no feelings for Zhao Ji, could act without hesitation. But Ying Zheng was different. Zhao Ji was the mother who had protected him throughout his childhood!

After struggling for a long time, Ying An sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it. I'll leave this matter to my father to decide when the time comes. However, I'm afraid Lao Ai can't stay!"

"My husband!" Dongjun raised her head, looked at Ying An, and said, "According to the Yin-Yang family's information, the Queen Mother... the Queen Mother seems to have given birth to two children for Lao Ai."

Chapter 124: The Emperor's Majesty! Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkeys! The Conspiracy of the Qin Dynasty!

Ying An's expression suddenly became gloomy.

Of course, he also knew that Zhao Ji had given birth to a child for Lao Ai.

Regarding these two bastards, Ying An had to call them uncles. From the beginning to the end, Ying An's attitude was the same as Ying Zheng's.

That means the evil offspring must not be allowed to survive!!

At most, Ying An wouldn't let the two children die as cruelly as Ying Zheng did, but he would definitely not spare their lives either.

If it was just his previous life, Ying An might still have some sympathy, but now, the fusion of memories of this life made Ying An know very clearly that as long as these two evil offspring were alive, it would be a shame that Ying Zheng, Ying An and others would never be able to erase.

Nodding slightly, Ying An said, "I understand. Father will not let these two bastards live!"

Seeing Ying An in trouble, Dong Jun couldn't help but say again, "Why don't I let the Yin-Yang family handle it?"

"No need!" Ying An shook his head and said, "This time during the Yongcheng ancestral worship, whether it's Lao Ai, the Queen Mother, or those two bastards, the decision can only be left to my father. At most, we will take action on my father's behalf. But only with my father's permission!!"

Ying An knew very well that Zhao Ji and the two bastards were a shame that Ying Zheng could not tolerate. But on the other hand, the existence of these two bastards and Zhao Ji's betrayal might not be a bad thing for Ying An.

When Ying Zheng's desire for family affection was completely shattered, he could only place all his human emotions on Ying An, so that the relationship between father and son could become more harmonious.

Don't say Ying An has a dark heart and deep calculations. After all, for an emperor like Ying Zheng, simple interests are not enough to shake his will.

The biggest regret in Ying Zheng's heart is the constant betrayal in family.

After coming to power, Ying Zheng was indeed a man of swift action. After deciding to go to Yongcheng to worship his ancestors, the army had already completed its preparations within just a few days.

Of course, Yongcheng itself is less than a hundred kilometers away from Xianyang. In addition, Yongcheng is the former capital of the Qin Dynasty.

Security and other aspects of the situation didn't require a major war. It wasn't like the future, after Ying Zheng unified the country and toured the six states of Shandong. Within the Qin territory, there wouldn't be many forces capable of threatening the King of Qin's safety.

In the queue heading to Yongcheng.

As the sons of Ying Zheng, the eldest son Fusu and the second son Ying An each occupied a carriage.

While the convoy was moving, Fusu did not get on his own carriage, but instead came to Ying An's carriage.

"Second brother." Fusu was indeed a refined man, having been deeply influenced by Confucianism. Even when facing his younger brother Ying An, Fusu still showed the kindness of an older brother.

It can be said that if Ying An had been more respectful, then at this moment the two of them would have been the epitome of brotherly love and respect among Confucianists.

"I haven't visited you since you returned from your mission to Korea. I wonder how you have been doing recently?" Fusu asked with concern.

Ying An knew very well that Fusu appeared in his carriage at this time, not only because he was really worried about his brother's health, but the more important reason was probably to comfort himself.

Who could have made him, the chief envoy to Korea, complete his mission perfectly? But after returning, he received no reward and was not even given the opportunity to attend court.

It can be said that in the eyes of Fusu and his supporters, Ying An is just an insignificant little person.

Fusu may not consider his relationship with Ying An from the perspective of interests, but the Chu faction behind Fusu will certainly not miss the opportunity to win him over.

To a certain extent, if he really became close to Fusu, then Fusu's kind personality would be further consolidated.

"Thank you, brother!" Although Ying An guessed that Fusu's visit was instigated by his supporters, he was still quite friendly towards Fusu himself.

The realm of his soul has reached the level of four thunder tribulations, gradually approaching the level of five thunder tribulations, a realm of impulse. Ying An could naturally feel that at this moment, Fusu's concern for him was truly from the heart, without much calculation.

"Ann's health has indeed improved a lot recently."

"That's good!" Fusu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since Andi's health has improved, have you ever thought about sharing your father's worries?"

Ying An looked at Fusu strangely and said, "I wonder what you mean, brother?"

"Brother An, you and I are blood brothers," Fusu said earnestly. "I know that your mission to Han was a complete success, but you didn't receive any reward from our father. You must feel wronged. But our father is our sovereign, and we must always be loyal and filial. Although it's not easy for me to interfere with his decision, he has long since given me the green light to establish my own government. If you don't mind, why don't you come and help Brother Wei?"
