Chapter 26: Queen, Prince, and Dog Are Not Allowed to Enter My Palace

“You rebellious son! You don’t speak human language! I will beat you to death today!” Qin Zichu said sternly.

With one hand, he pressed the second son on his knees, and with the other hand, with five fingers spread out, he slapped the second son’s buttocks hard, making crisp “pa pa pa” sounds continuously.

He was ruthless this time, slapping his wife one after another, and each slap made a loud noise.

He was determined to beat his second son until he cried and begged for mercy. He had to make his second son apologize to the queen in tears in order to appease the queen’s anger.

“I told you to talk nonsense!”

Snap~!

“I’m telling you to be uneducated!”

Snap~!

“If you don’t admit your mistake to your mother, I will beat you to death!”

Snap~!

He thought that a child who had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered any hardship could not bear such a severe beating. He would immediately cry and shout that he was wrong and beg his father to stop beating him.

Queen Huayang thought the same thing. She sat back with a sullen face, waiting for the bold boy to kowtow to her and apologize.

She didn’t think the boy in front of her could withstand a beating.

“Jiao Gongzi” was the first name she called him.

If Prince Chengjiao fell, the King of Qin would immediately summon the imperial physician without delay.

If you go a little slower, the wounds will heal.

Every seven days, the royal physician would check the King of Qin’s health, and the King would always call his grandson Ying Chengjiao to join him in the examination.

It’s just like the saying goes, if you hold it in your mouth you’re afraid it will melt, and if you hold it in your hand you’re afraid it will fall.

The King of Qin had many children and many grandchildren, but he was only like this to Prince Chengjiao.

It seemed as if all other princes were fake and not his descendants, and only Prince Chengjiao was the real prince.

He never lets people endure hardship.

A seven-year-old naughty boy who grew up like this can be tamed with just three or five slaps!

The slapping sound continued, and thirty or fifty slaps passed.

Qin Zichu’s voice became hoarse from shouting and his hands became numb from hitting.

The butt in front of me turned from red to blue, with a slight hint of purple.

I heard a lot of muffled groans, mixed with one or two sentences like “If you have the guts, beat me to death today”, but I didn’t hear a single word of surrender.

The anger between the two men gradually faded.

As time passed, they began to feel that they were in a difficult situation – they knew best how much the King of Qin doted on Prince Cheng Jiao.

The anger did not disappear, but instead shifted to Ying Chengjiao.

The body is that of a seven-year-old, small and weak, unable to break free.

Ying Chengjiao could do nothing but be beaten, and his anger accumulated and brewed.

He considers himself a man who can endure humiliation, but in fact the humiliation he can endure is extremely limited.

In his previous life, he was recruited into a company through campus recruitment.

On his first day at work, he refused to work overtime without pay.

The boss was still there, and he left at the appointed time, becoming the only person in the company who left work on time.

For three days in a row, people were in a state of anxiety.

On the fourth day, the boss couldn’t stand it anymore and asked him to come to the office during lunch break.

The HR who recruited him told him:
“The boss has a bad temper. If he scolds you, just bear it and admit your mistake. When he scolds you enough, you will be fine. Don’t lose your temper.”

He assured seriously:
“Don’t worry, my parents have scolded me since I was a child. I’m here to make money, not to quarrel, so I definitely won’t talk back.”

During lunch break, he went into his boss’ office and closed the door.

The boss walked past him with a gloomy face and opened the door.

He walked back and slapped the table, causing the ashtray to bounce three times.

“I haven’t even left yet! You’re going home! Do you think it’s appropriate?

“You’re from a fake university, you have no talent, who gave you these bad habits?
“Do you still want to come tomorrow?”

He exploded after claiming that he had been scolded since he was a child.

“You pay me 4,000 yuan a month, and I won’t leave when the time comes. I’ll stay here to keep vigil for you!

“If you’re late for one minute, you’ll be deducted money. If you work overtime for one hour, you won’t get overtime pay. Your money can come in but not go out. Is it deposited in the Bank of Heaven and Earth?

“You still have the audacity to say you haven’t left yet. What does your leaving have to do with my getting off work? Are you a guard dog? You bite whoever leaves!
“If my university is a fake university, then you are a fake university if you come to recruit people from a fake university. I have no talent, but Tsinghua and Peking University have talent, but can you recruit them?
“Who spoiled me? The country spoiled me! The national anthem I sang since I was a child told me to stand up and not be a slave!
“You don’t pay the five social insurances and one housing fund, and force everyone to clock out at the end of get off work. Which of us has a bad habit? No, you don’t have a bad habit, you are breaking the law!

“Do you really think I care about your crappy class? Tomorrow? I’m quitting now! I’ll burn paper for you next time!
“You must pay me for three days at least. Transfer the money to my card within two hours. If you are late, you will bear the consequences!”

Ying Chengjiao didn’t say anything for a long time, his head drooped, and his palm trembled with each slap, and it seemed that he had no strength.

My father’s scolding became less intense and the frequency of his slaps also decreased. I became a little worried.

[I guess I fainted because I didn’t hit him too hard…]
There was also a hint of worry in Queen Huayang’s eyes, and she snorted coldly.

“Stop fighting! Look at what’s happened to this guy!”

Qin Zichu had the same idea. He stopped scolding and slapping his son when he heard his words. He was about to turn his son over to see the situation.

A sharp cry suddenly rang out, unusually loud and clear, like a rooster crowing.

“Somebody come!”

Ying Chengjiao shouted as loud as he could, this was the moment he was waiting for!

Qin Zichu cursed too loudly and he couldn’t shout at him anymore.

Qin Zichu kept cursing, but no one outside could hear him no matter how loudly he shouted.

The queen and the prince were relieved to see that he was fine, but their anger rose again.

They were actually fooled by the performance of a seven-year-old boy!
After two calls of “Come here”, the third call of “Come here” just started with the word “come”.

The palace door was slammed open from the outside.

Two eunuchs armed with axes rushed in and saw the queen sitting cold in the room, the crown prince holding his son, and young master Cheng Jiao with a bruised butt. They didn’t know what to do for a moment.

“Get out!” the queen commanded.

“You have nothing to do here, get out!” the prince said angrily.

“Why don’t you save me!” Young Master Cheng Jiao twisted his body and turned around to shout.

The two officials immediately knew what to do.

He ran to the prince in two steps, saying:

“My lord, I am sorry.”

The work is not slow at all and the division of labor is clear.

One stops the prince, the other snatches the young master.

Amid the prince’s angry roar of “How dare you!”, he snatched away Prince Chengjiao.

As soon as Ying Chengjiao landed on the ground, he ran away and was out of the door in a blink of an eye.

The prince was about to chase after him, but two eunuchs with apologetic faces blocked his way, saying “We are so frightened”.

The boy’s voice came from outside the door.

“Keep an eye on these two! You are not allowed to leave until I come back!”

Ying Chengjiao ran back to the small palace where he slept.

getting Started.

“Brother!” Ying Zheng, who was stopped by two eunuchs, shouted anxiously.

The two eunuchs, who had heard the noise from the neighboring palace a long time ago, fell to their knees with a plop and kowtowed their heads with a loud bang.

“We are guilty! Sir, please spare us! We are guilty! Sir, please spare us!”

Ying Chengjiao looked annoyed.

“Get up, get up! Who do you think I am?”

Although he was confused when his father broke in, he knew it from his bruised butt.

His father must have asked the two eunuchs to keep an eye on his brother while forcibly taking him away.

He didn’t wake up and didn’t speak, so the two eunuchs could only obey their father’s orders.

It’s not good to be angry.

He lay down on the bed.

His buttocks were bruised and the soles of his feet were pitch black.

Giving orders was extremely frustrating.

“One to get the wound medicine, the other to get the clean gauze, go quickly!”

The two eunuchs ran out, thanking him profusely.

Ying Zheng, with a worried look on his face, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the wound on his buttocks.

“I heard the noise was so intense that I thought something happened to you. Fortunately, you are okay.”

“It’s okay???” Ying Chengjiao pointed at his burning butt and shouted, “You call this okay?”

“The skin isn’t even broken. The pain will go away in a few days.”

Ying Chengjiao was about to complain, but when he thought of his brother’s wounds, he swallowed his words and lay on the bed, saying sullenly, “Brother is right.”

The two men had barely exchanged a few words when outside the palace there were sudden sounds of fighting, shouting, and the clanging of weapons, creating chaos everywhere.

Ying Chengjiao jumped up suddenly.

“It’s the other way around!”

He was so angry that he didn’t feel any pain. He didn’t even put on his underwear, just put on his small robe, and ran out in his slippers.

Ying Zheng was worried that something might have happened to his brother again, so he chased after him.

In the center of the Huaqing Palace courtyard, more than a dozen palace officials surrounded the driver who was driving the carriage that brought the queen.

Both sides have drawn their weapons and are facing off.

The breathing on both sides was a little heavy.

There was a half-foot long cut on the driver’s left arm, and it was bleeding.

Obviously a battle had already taken place.

The driver held a five-foot-long sword in his right hand, across his chest.

The officials all pointed their axes inwards, and all of them looked very unhappy.

The leading official stepped forward and said in a deep voice:
“My Lord, please do not act rashly. I have eyes, but weapons do not.”

Although there was only one driver, his imposing manner was more powerful than the dozen or so officials present.

He looked at him coldly, turned his wrist, and the sword shone brightly.

“Get away!

“You all must die for imprisoning the queen!”

The leading official’s face slightly changed color, and he stepped back and retreated back into the square formation.

“This is Chengjiao Palace. We will obey the orders of Master Chengjiao first.”

The driver took a step forward.

“Queen! Prince! Can’t you tell the difference between what is important and what is not?!”

The leading official stared at the driver’s feet and said in a deep voice:

“If you come any closer, I will…”

“Why waste your time talking to him!” a childish voice rang out.

The driver and the leading official all looked in the direction of the voice and saw Prince Cheng Jiao on the steps in front of the palace.

Both of them wanted to say something, but before they could open their mouths, the order was given on the steps.

“I can’t beat Mi Bu Ming, but I can’t beat you, Mi Yang? Beat him!”

Upon receiving the order, the officials all let go, formed a battle array, and compressed the driver’s space for movement.

The driver moved around, and the sword in his hand danced like a flower.

But two fists are no match for four hands, let alone nearly thirty hands. It is just a struggle and one can only hold on with difficulty.

“Young Master has imprisoned the Crown Prince and Queen! What is your intention?! You know this is a move of rebellion!”

“Scream, scream as hard as you can, I want to see how many more you can scream!” Ying Chengjiao made a sound of disgust and said bitterly, “You still dare to bully me in my territory?”

Ying Zheng remained silent and watched quietly without expressing any opinion. He was used to his younger brother causing all kinds of trouble.

When he heard the word “rebellion”, he was not worried at all.

He was able to break in when the King of Qin was in power, and after coming out, he used the King of Qin’s seal to smash the heads of the Chief Justice and the Chief Justice’s younger brother.

Even if he told the King of Qin that he wanted to rebel, he felt that the King of Qin would only cheerfully ask how many troops he needed.
Looking at the driver who was still able to hold on despite being besieged by more than a dozen armored officers, he even had the leisure to ask his brother:

“Are all the horsemen in the palace so powerful?”

Ying Chengjiao has always been very patient with his brother and is willing to help him solve his problems.

“Of course not. He is not an ordinary driver, but the Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office.” (Note 1)
“The Imperial Chariot Commander?”

Ying Zheng was puzzled. He had only heard of the Lord Charioteer and met Lord Charioteer Han Ming, but had never heard of the Central Lord Charioteer.

What kind of official is Zhongchefuling?

Ying Chengjiao explained using the simplest and most direct comparison method:
“Similar to the chariot officer, both have an official rank of 600 dan.

“It’s just that the Chariot Officer serves the king, and the Middle Chariot Officer serves the queen.

“My queen has her own subordinates, and the Minister of the Imperial Chariots is one of them.”

Ying Zheng was stunned.

The fact that the Queen of Qin actually had her own set of subordinates was beyond his imagination.

After Ying Chengjiao pondered for a moment, he said:

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be an official under the queen, it could be an official under the queen mother. The first official to hold the position of Zhongchefuling was created by the queen mother Xuan.”

Ying Zheng understood it all at once.

The reputation of Queen Dowager Xuan was no less than that of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, who was revered by the world.

Queen Dowager Xuan was even more famous because of her female identity and her unrestrained personality.

His mother particularly admired Queen Dowager Xuan and told him most of her deeds.

He had never understood how the Queen Dowager Xuan had been able to control the Qin government and suppress King Zhaoxiang of Qin for forty-one years.

When I asked my mother, she couldn’t answer either.

Unexpectedly, this question was solved today because of a Zhongchefu Ling.

In the courtyard, the Imperial Chariot Officer Mi Yang had been pinned to the ground.

Ying Chengjiao waved his hand.

“Bring him in!”

He turned and walked into the palace where the prince and queen were imprisoned.

The palace guards followed with Mi Yang.

The prince’s face was filled with obvious anger.

“Rebellious son! How long are you going to keep making trouble?”

The queen said nothing, but just looked at Mi Yang, who was pinned to the ground and covered in bruises, with a chilling aura.

Ying Chengjiao ordered the officials to lift up Mi Yang’s robe.

Upon hearing the sound, Mi Yang screamed, struggled desperately, and felt ashamed to death.

“That’s enough!” Queen Huayang finally spoke, gritting her teeth and saying, “Killing people is not enough!”

“Not enough!” Ying Chengjiao showed no weakness. He turned to his father who was about to scold him again and said with a smile, “Father, do you want to be stripped of your pants and spanked?”

Qin Zichu suspected that he had heard it wrong, because he was his father!

“What did you say?!”

Ying Chengjiao speaks with his actions.

In front of Queen Huayang, he ordered the eunuchs to start hitting the exposed buttocks of Mi Yang, the Minister of the Chariots.

There were dozens of “slap” sounds, and the buttocks were beaten into a purple color.

He nodded with satisfaction, feeling a little relieved.

He asked the officials to stop and clear the way to the palace gate.

He pointed at the palace gate, kicked the Imperial Chariot Officer, and said to the Queen and the Crown Prince:

“If you don’t want to be like him, get out of my palace!”

Qin Zichu was furious.

“Shuzi! How dare you!”

Ying Chengjiao stared at the prince’s butt.

“Someone! Give it to me!”

Before she finished speaking, the queen stood up.

“Zi Chu, follow me.”

Ying Chengjiao stopped talking at the right time, watched the two men leave with his eyes, and scolded the officials with his mouth.

“Do you have any sense? Why don’t you ask the Minister of the Imperial Chariot House to leave immediately? Otherwise, how will the Queen leave the palace? On foot?”

The prince wanted to turn around, but the queen pulled him back. The two of them walked out of the palace and got into the carriage with four horses.

The Imperial Chariot Officer Mi Yang then walked out, his face ashen, like a walking corpse.

After getting on the carriage, he sat down directly on the driver’s seat in the front room of the carriage, as if his butt had no feeling.

“I am guilty, and a hundred deaths will never redeem me.”

“Go back to the palace first.” The queen’s voice came from the carriage, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

“only.”

As soon as Mi Yang agreed, Ying Chengjiao, who had just walked out of the palace, stood on the steps and shouted:
“Pass my order! Queen, prince, and dog are not allowed to enter my palace!”

“Go back to the palace!” The queen’s voice was heard again, louder and more urgent than before.

…………

【Note 1: The representative figure of Zhongchefuling is Zhao Gao. According to Zhiwang, Zhongchefuling is the same as Chefuling. Because he lived in the inner court and was held by eunuchs, he was called Zhongchefuling. He was in charge of the imperial carriages and belonged to Taipu. He was a -stone official and had a chancellor. But the seals unearthed now have Zhongchefucheng, so this statement is untenable. If Chefuling is preceded by a “Zhong”, why is Chefucheng also preceded by a “Zhong”? Is Zhongchefucheng also a eunuch? Can he enter and leave the palace freely? It can only be that Qin had both Chefuling and Zhongchefuling, and the two coexisted, and they were not the same official. Zhongchefuling, like Zhongju, belonged to the queen or the queen mother. 】
