Chapter 709: Planning to Get Rid of Lao Ai

Chapter 709: Planning to Get Rid of Lao Ai
Zhao Ji was stunned. After all, Ying Zheng was her son, and her eldest son. She certainly could not agree to kill him.

Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "No, no! Zheng'er is also my child, I can't kill him."

Lao Ai said nothing. He turned around and went out to pick up his two sons. He smiled and said, "Ming'er, Yue'er, come on, call me mother."

The two children obediently called their mother and ran over and threw themselves into Zhao Ji's arms.

Lao Ai was neither impatient nor anxious. He walked over and hugged Zhao Ji and the two children, and said gently: "It is true that Zheng'er is your child, but Ming'er and Yue'er are also your children. If he lets the matter out, the four of us will not be able to survive. By then, you will lose two children, and your own life will be gone. I don't care. I have been able to live happily with you for so many years, and I am content. But Ming'er and Yue'er are still young, and their lives have just begun. Two for one, isn't it okay? Besides, once our affairs are revealed, you will definitely be stripped of the title of queen mother. By then, you will not have a good reputation when you die, and you will be infamous for thousands of years. I don't care. It is worth it for me, Lao Ai, to have you in this life. I don't care what people in the future think of me. But you are the queen mother of the Qin Dynasty, you cannot bear the infamy and be infamous for thousands of years."

After hearing what Lao Ai said, Zhao Ji was a little shaken.

However, after thinking it over again and again, Zhao Ji still couldn't bear to kill Ying Zheng, but she acquiesced to Lao Ai's action.

If Lao Ai succeeded, the four of them would have usurped the power of the Qin Dynasty.

If Lao Ai failed, Zhao Ji could at least save her life.

Zhao Ji could advance or retreat, but Lao Ai had no other choice. He had to fight once, otherwise he and his two children would die.

Lao Ai said: "Our family of four will definitely be together forever."

Zhao Ji nodded and hugged the two children tightly.

On the other side, Ying Zheng returned to the garden and came to Yang Chen's car.

Ying Zheng said very politely: "Sir, you are right. Sir, can you please come out of this car and talk?"

Yang Chen immediately said: "Of course."

Yang Chen got out of the car carrying the medicine box, and Ying Zheng invited him into the house to talk.

"Sir, did you really come after 2000?" Ying Zheng asked.

Yang Chen nodded, took out his cell phone and said: “Look, you haven’t seen this before? This is called a cell phone, people two thousand years later will use this to communicate over long distances. For example, I am here with you now, if I have a friend in Handan, or even Yingdu, or even Baiyue, I only need to use my cell phone to call his cell phone, and we can talk. However, there is no signal in this era, and cell phones cannot make calls. But I can show you the “The Great Qin Empire” and “The Qin Empire” that I downloaded in advance, after reading them you should believe that I came from 2000 years later.”

Yang Chen deliberately found the episode in The Qin Empire where Ying Zheng discovered the affair between the Queen Mother and Lao Ai and showed it to Ying Zheng.

After reading it, Ying Zheng picked up the phone and was about to throw it away, but fortunately Yang Chen reacted quickly and snatched it back.

“Brother Zheng, you can be angry, but don’t throw things around. You are a man who wants to unify the world, you can’t get angry so easily.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng was only 21 years old at that time. Logically, he should call Yang Chen brother. However, when watching TV dramas and reading novels, everyone likes to call Ying Zheng Zulong or Brother Zheng. Yang Chen should just follow the habit and call him Brother Zheng.

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh, bowed and said, "Mr. Yang is right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hope Mr. Yang will forgive me."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, these are all minor problems, not worth mentioning. Oh, by the way, I found out from the historical data that you suffer from rickets and bronchitis, so I brought you some medicine that can relieve your condition. This is medicine for treating rickets, three times a day, 10 ml each time. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'll teach you how to take the medicine. This is medicine for treating asthma, one tablet a day, and this is also medicine for treating asthma and bronchitis, just spray it twice a day..."

While Yang Chen took out the medicine, he explained to Ying Zheng how to take it.

After the introduction, Yang Chen said: "I know you may not believe me, and you may have doubts about the safety of these medicines. You can find someone to try the medicine first, and then take it yourself after it is safe."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang. I will definitely remember your kindness. Since you have come since 2000, will our Qin be strong after 2000 years?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Well, although I don't want to make you sad, I still have to tell you the truth. In 221 BC, you unified the six kingdoms and established the centralized Qin Kingdom, calling yourself the First Emperor. In 210 BC, you died of illness in Shaqiu. Now it is 239 BC. According to the normal development of history, you can live for another 29 years. After your death, your eighteenth son Hu Hai succeeded to the throne, and the government was controlled by Zhao Gao. Then a vigorous peasant uprising broke out, and the remnants of the six kingdoms took advantage of the situation to rise. In the end, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the world, and Liu Bang finally won and established the Han Dynasty in 206 BC, known as the Western Han Dynasty. So, this means that the Qin Dynasty was gone four years after your death." Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng stood up excitedly and said, "What? My Qin only existed for 15 years? Also, why did Hu Hai succeed to the throne? Shouldn't Fusu succeed to the throne? Fusu is the boss. Who is Hu Hai?"

“Hu Hai is your eighteenth son, and you haven’t given birth to him yet. Fusu is indeed the eldest, but he was harmed by Confucianism. Zhao Gao falsely conveyed the imperial edict to Fusu and Meng Tian, ​​asking them to commit suicide. Fusu, this fool, actually committed suicide. He is your eldest son, and he has 300,000 troops under his command. If it were anyone else, after receiving your edict asking him to commit suicide, he would have risen up in rebellion. He actually committed suicide without any resistance. After Fusu and Meng Tian committed suicide, Zhao Gao supported Hu Hai to succeed to the throne. Hu Hai became a puppet emperor, and Zhao Gao became the real emperor.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng angrily slammed the table and said, "Zhao Gao is so hateful, who is he?"

Yang Chen replied: "He is a eunuch. You can only meet him after you destroy the State of Zhao in 222 BC. Now it is 239 BC, it is still early. I will tell you the result now. You work hard, maybe you can change the course of history."

According to the theory of quantum entanglement, if Yang Chen helped Ying Zheng change history, there would be a space-time that developed according to the changed history, but it would not affect the history of the era in which Yang Chen lived.

Therefore, Yang Chen dared to boldly help Ying Zheng change history, but whether he could succeed was another matter.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "God sent you to help me, and I will not let you down. What do you think I should do now?"

“If history proceeds as it should, at your coming-of-age ceremony next year, Lao Ai will lead his followers in rebellion, wanting to kill you and have his child with the Queen Mother succeed to the throne. However, since we are aiming to change history, there is no need to wait any longer. We should take the initiative to eliminate Lao Ai first, then get rid of Lu Buwei. After you lead the army in person, you can first reorganize the country, and then you can start to destroy the six kingdoms.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say. It's time for lunch, please come with me."

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Okay! Then I won’t be polite. Thank you.”

The two of them talked about the specific action plan while eating lunch.

There is no accurate number as to how many retainers Lao Ai had.

Ying Zheng wanted to catch all of Lao Ai's gang in one fell swoop, without letting any escape.

Yang Chen smiled and said, “This is easy. You’ve already been to the Li Palace, Lao Ai must be planning a rebellion, he won’t just sit there and wait for death. So, what you have to do is to create an opportunity for him to succeed, so that he will bring all his troops to assassinate you, and then you can catch them all in one fell swoop.”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Sir, you are right. Then sir, how do you think I can give him such an opportunity?"

“Brother Zheng, just say that you are in a bad mood and want to go to Mount Li to hunt. Let your confidants lead the troops to ambush in the hunting ground in advance. On the surface, you only bring ministers and a few guards to Mount Li. Lao Ai will definitely seize this opportunity to attack! To be on the safe side, you'd better transfer troops from the border to ambush, and don't use the garrisons in Xianyang City or the surrounding areas.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Sir, this is a great idea. Let's do it! I will let Meng Wu lead troops from the border to ambush in Mount Li, and Lao Ai will not be able to receive the news." "Yes. Is Meng Wu Meng Tian's father?" Yang Chen asked.

"Yes! Meng Wu has two sons, Meng Tian and Meng Yi." Ying Zheng said.

Meng Yi?

Yang Chen nodded, and said: “Bring Meng Yi to me later to see what he looks like.”

"Sir, if you want to see Meng Yi, then I will order him to accompany me hunting, and then you can see him." Ying Zheng said.

Yang Chen stood up and stretched, and said: "Well, let's talk about it later. I'm a little sleepy, Brother Zheng, please find me a place to rest."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Come on, I will take you to rest."

Ying Zheng brought Yang Chen to his bedroom and said with a smile: “Sir, if you don’t mind, you can eat and sleep with me in the future. When I destroy the six kingdoms and establish the centralized Qin you mentioned, I will share the world with you.”

Yang Chen waved his hand and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zheng. I’m not interested in taking over the world. I’m just here to try to help you change history. Regardless of success or failure, I will return to my time when the time is up. I hope I can help you change history, so that it’s worth it for me to come here and meet you.”

Ying Zheng immediately said: "Sir, you have shown me such great kindness. How can I repay you? I am not the kind of person who would not repay a favor."

“Haha… If you really want to repay me, then look further ahead, and let’s build a great empire together. Not only within China, we should also turn our attention outside of China. Next time you come, I will bring you a globe so you can see what this world looks like.” Yang Chen said.

Ying Zheng looked at Yang Chen expectantly, then nodded with a smile.

After Yang Chen fell asleep, Ying Zheng quietly went out with the medicine box.

After all, he is Ying Zheng, so it is impossible for him to believe that these medicines are safe so easily. He must find someone to test the medicine to make sure it is safe before he can take it himself.

Yang Chen woke up from his nap. Ying Zheng was handling government affairs, so Yang Chen did not disturb him. He sat alone in the bedroom, crossing his legs and playing a single-player game.

About half an hour later, a middle-aged woman came in with two maids.

Seeing Yang Chen lying on Ying Zheng’s bed, the middle-aged woman immediately asked, “Who are you? Why are you on Zheng’er’s bed? Why are you dressed so strangely?”

Yang Chen quickly picked up his phone, got off the bed and replied, "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, Brother Zheng and I are innocent. We both have normal sexual orientations, don't let your imagination run wild."

"Who are you? Why are you here? And why are you dressed so strangely?" asked the middle-aged woman.

Yang Chen asked back: "Then who are you? Why did you come to Brother Zheng's bedroom?"

The maid on the left said, "How dare you, the Queen Mother, the King's biological mother, speak so bluntly?"

Yang Chen blurted out, and said: "Ah? You are Zhao Ji? As expected, you still have your charm, no wonder..."

Shit, I said the wrong thing.

The maid scolded again: "How dare you! How dare you talk to the Queen Mother? Do you want to be beheaded?"

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly, and said to Zhao Ji: “Sorry, I’m not used to it yet.”

Afterwards, Yang Chen said to the maid with a serious face: “How can you talk like that? A dog is relying on the power of a man, a fox is relying on the power of a tiger.”

The maid seemed unconvinced and wanted to talk back to Yang Chen, but was stopped by Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji ordered: "Put down your things and get out."

The two maids nodded, put down the gifts that Zhao Ji brought to Ying Zheng, and then walked out.

Zhao Ji walked up to Yang Chen and asked with a smile, "Do you know Ai Jia?"

“Ah, I know a little.” Yang Chen replied.

Zhao Ji became nervous and asked quickly, "You...what do you know?"

“I know everything that Brother Zheng knows.” Yang Chen replied.

Zhao Ji blushed with shame and thought, "Zheng'er is really something. How can you tell such a thing to outsiders?"

After a while, Zhao Ji asked, "Then...did Zheng'er tell her what he was going to do?"

“Brother Zheng said he was very distressed. He already lost his father and didn’t want to be without a mother. But any man would feel ashamed if he encountered this kind of thing, and he couldn’t just pretend that nothing happened. Since you’re here, I have to talk about you. As a woman, it’s okay to spend some money, but you have to take protective measures. Look at the two children you’ve created, how troublesome it is. What do you want Brother Zheng to do? Pretend he knows nothing, that’s impossible. But if he were to deal with the two children, he would feel that they were his brothers after all, and he couldn’t bear to do it. So, I think as a mother you should be considerate of the children, clean up your own mess, and don’t make things difficult for Brother Zheng.” Yang Chen said.

Zhao Ji cried because of what Yang Chen said. After sobbing for a few times, she asked, "Then what do you think I should do to have the best of both worlds?"

“In my opinion, you should let Marquis Changxin take the two children away from Xianyang now. You can go out of the palace to see them when you miss them, or summon them occasionally. This way, Zheng Ge will have a way out and won’t be in a dilemma. How can a mother not love her son? Don’t you think so?” Yang Chen said.

Zhao Ji immediately covered her face and burst into tears, saying, "It's my fault. I am sorry for Zheng'er. I will let Marquis Changxin take the two children away from Xianyang and not embarrass Zheng'er. These are the clothes I made for Zheng'er. Please help me pass them to him. Also, tell Zheng'er that he is also my child and I will not embarrass him."

Yang Chen nodded, and said, “Okay, I’ll remember it.”

Zhao Ji wiped her tears and immediately turned and left.

Lao Ai was determined to fight for the throne. When Zhao Ji went back and asked him to take the children away, he must have been anxious, and people tend to make mistakes when they are anxious. Yang Chen and Ying Zheng were waiting for him to make a mistake.
