Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

140

The promotion and handover of the new school system quickly spread throughout Xianyang.

Zhao Weizhen didn't care at all.

She still has to do what she should do. She doesn't need to go to school every day, so it doesn't mean other things don't come to her.Qin Yang and several blacksmiths from the Shu region were working on new siege equipment. They made a rough drawing and sent it to Zhao Weizhen for review.

The drawings are drawn meticulously, and the Arabic numerals proposed by Zhao Weizhen are used, which looks concise and clear.

With the abacus and modern mathematics, it is much more convenient for craftsmen to do calculations.Zhao Weizhen looked at it so seriously that he didn't even notice that Lu Buwei entered the door.

It wasn't until he walked slowly to the front of the long case that Zhao Weizhen raised his eyes.

"Drawings?" Lu Buwei asked.

"Ah."

He didn't wait for Zhao Weizhen to speak, and sat across from him.Lu Buwei looked down at the papers spread out on the long case for a moment.

"Really?" He said abruptly.

Zhao Weizhen looked up blankly from the drawings: "What?"

Lu Buwei: "It's about the school."

Zhao Weizhen twitched the corner of his mouth casually.

It has been half a month since the news spread.Lu Buwei must have got the news at the first time, and he was able to endure the rumors before asking questions, which is also a skill.

For half a month, the rumors became more and more exaggerated.

It cannot be concealed. Furthermore, the replacement of leaders and teachers in an elementary school is not as simple as resignation and employment in the 21st century. Zhao Weizhen needs time.

Zhao Ji hadn't had time to take over the position of "Primary School Principal", the news that Xia Yangjun was going to quit Mengxue was widely spread.

There was some talk about Xia Yangjun not wanting to work for Qin, about quitting and preparing to retire, and even saying that she was terminally ill due to overwork.

Zhao Weizhen didn't take it to heart - the next day she would show up in front of the public more often, and the rumors would naturally prove self-defeating.

"Everything is on the right track, so I don't need to do it myself." Zhao Weizhen said, "Isn't it good to leave it to other competent people?"

Even though the school is easy to manage, what Zhao Weizhen cares about is still discussing the position of his wife.

Although the aftermath has nothing to do with her, Zhao Weizhen still has selfish intentions.

She hoped that the special position arranged by King Qin Zhao in the court would not stop at herself.

I just want to find a replacement, it's too difficult.

Even though Xianyang Academy has set a precedent by admitting female students, Mengxue is an elementary school after all, and the oldest female students at the moment are Deyin and Wen Yin, who are only eleven or twelve years old now.

Zhao Weizhen has brought so many things and made so many contributions to the state of Qin, and he has the support of three successive people in power, so there is such a special case.

Sending a female doll up here has no experience, no achievements, and not enough ability and confidence. Even Zhao Weizhen's own daughter can't keep it.

Not only is it impossible to keep it, but a careless move may also lead to death.

The most suitable candidate is actually Zhao Ji.

It's not that there is no precedent for the Queen Mother to listen to the government in Qin State, and Zhao Ji is not tough, and her mother's background is not strong, so she can enter the court and be a mascot for a while.During this period, Zhao Weizhen can find and train the successors of the next generation.

Deyin and Wenyin can be listed as candidates, but Zhao Weizhen doesn't want to put all his eggs in the same basket. The world is so big, and he can always pick out a few qualified girls.

Whether it will be successful or not, Zhao Weizhen has no idea.

It can only be said that she tried her best.

One person cannot shake the wheel of history that is rumbling forward, and the limitation of productivity is clearly here.She does what she can, and as for what happens next, let the people who follow her fight their own way.

"That's fine too."

Lu Buwei showed his agreement: "Court hall, school hall, and occasionally take care of restaurant affairs. It is really busy to hold several positions. Weizhen can take off a heavy burden and take a breather."

This is because Lu Buwei is willing to tutor his daughter's homework himself, without Zhao Weizhen.

Among other things, Lu Buwei is quite competent as a father.

He didn't say it was his daughter, so he let it go or made do with education. Lu Buwei was much more worried about Deyin and Wenyin's homework than she was.

"Daliang won't last long." Lu Buwei said, "Once the city is broken, it's easy to take all of Wei's territory. At that time, the three Jin Dynasties will all belong to Qin."

"When the city is broken, you can send people to Chu State." Zhao Weizhen continued: "Send some soldiers and horses, sir."

She didn't believe that with the support of force, Young Master Xiangchu would not do anything against him.

In short, the more chaotic the state of Chu, the better, and the more chaotic it is, the easier it is for Qin to defeat it.

otherwise……

"Chu is not easy to fight." Lu Buwei shook his head.

The cultural roots of Qin and Chu did not lie in Zhou.Not to mention the state of Qin, there were still a lot of Yin and Shang traditions left before Shang Yang's reform; the state of Chu simply became king by itself, regardless of the face of Zhou Tianzi.

Therefore, it may not be effective for Qin to play the sign of the emperor and the name of morality.

The so-called perishing of the Qin Dynasty is not unreasonable: the aristocrats have strength, but they don't recognize you culturally, and there are hidden dangers even if they are defeated.

"That leaves other people to think about it."

Zhao Weizhen didn't pick up the quarrel, and said indifferently: "In such a big court, it's not just you and me who have brains. Are the other ministers living for nothing?"

Lu Buwei glanced over with a pair of eyes, with a hint of scrutiny in them.

"Weizhen," he said, "by handing over the school to the Queen Mother, are you planning to turn the focus back to the court?"

"Speak directly if you have something to say." Zhao Weizhen replied.

"After the destruction of Wei, only Qi and Chu remained. For today's Qin State, it is nothing at all." Lu Buwei said calmly: "But it is easy to defeat, but difficult to hold. It is said that the situation of Qin Ting in the future will be very different."

After finishing speaking, Lu Buwei sighed and expressed emotion: "At that time, it will be far more than just that the Chu family is in power."

This is the truth.

But Zhao Weizhen doesn't care much about the faction of ministers and workers making trouble—is Ying Zheng a vegetarian?

As long as he lives, no courtier will dare to cause trouble.In the past, Zhao Weizhen had the filter of the first emperor, but now she believes in the children she brought up even more, and he has the ability to restrain and weigh the court.

Speaking of the threat from Qin Tingshang...

"Lu Buwei," Zhao Weizhen said with a half-smile, "what else do you want?"

The man on the opposite side paused.

He tilted his head, as if he didn't understand Zhao Weizhen's meaning: "What does Weizhen mean?"

She didn't answer.

The room became quiet, and the lingering atmosphere between the two gradually changed from being short-tempered to cold.Some words are easier to understand than not to say, Lu Buwei's clear eyes sank slightly, and then he said nonchalantly: "What Wei Zhen said is still a matter of the court."

Zhao Weizhen looked down and landed on the man's hands placed under the long case.

Lu Buwei moved his big hand with well-defined joints, and as he curled his fingers, the meridians and blood vessels were clearly visible.Fortunately, he didn't intend to bring up his hands.

In the past, Lu Buwei would always reach out to her.

He didn't want to talk about it, or when the talk failed, or even when Zhao Weizhen was slightly better, he wanted to catch her.It seemed like a threat, like a hunt, but Zhao Weizhen knew very well that he was also emboldening himself.

Only in this way can Lu Buwei find some real sense of superiority.

But he hasn't done that for a long time.

"So what?" Zhao Weizhen said, "You started it first."

"The pinnacle of power is the Prime Minister." Lu Buwei said.

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this - this is what she said to him back then.

His expression was extremely calm, and his eyes were extremely dark: "Since I have achieved the position of Prime Minister, there is nothing I want."

"Few of the prime ministers of the Qin State have ended well." Zhao Weizhen said calmly, which is what she said back then.

"Madam teach me." Lu Buwei said.

Lu Buwei's eyes are dark and bright, with slightly curved tails. When he smiles, these eyes are gentle and harmless.And when the man restrained his smile, his slightly drooping eyes showed clear calculation and deepness.

Years ago when she first came to Xianyang, the two had been married for many years, but it was so ridiculous that they almost just met.After the initial politeness and flattery, Lu Buwei made the first test after this conversation, and it was also the first time Zhao Weizhen touched his most authentic side.

At that time, she was still dating him.

But after so many years, Zhao Weizhen has also clearly realized that some masks are real after being worn for a long time.

For a person who is gentle and humble [-]% of the time, as if he is as calm as a celebrity, does it matter what happens to the remaining [-]%?

The gentleman is Lu Buwei, the villain is also him, the truth is him, the hypocrisy is also him, there is no conflict.

"how."

Zhao Weizhen raised his hands to gather his hair in a bun, and the wide sleeves fell down due to the movement, revealing the white wrist and the jade ring on the wrist: "Do you still want to grab me again?"

Lu Buwei couldn't help laughing immediately.

"It's not too late to talk about it at night," he teased, "Buwei is not the impatient kid back then."

"I don't think you are in a hurry."

Zhao Weizhen teased back: "It's quite tolerable."

Lu Buwei: "Weizhen is still afraid that something will happen to me."

An old husband and wife, Lu Buwei is too lazy to mediate with Zhao Weizhen, and she is even less willing to go around in circles with him.

"If the Qin Kingdom is unified and all the six countries become Qin territory, your enemies will not be as simple as the nobles of various countries." Zhao Weizhen said: "At this point, it is not appropriate for the horse to stumble and fail at the end of the day."

"The new ministers regard him as a thorn in the side. Even if they win the support of the old ministers, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the monarch." Lu Buwei continued.

He still understands.

Just talking about it, Zhao Weizhen doesn't think that Lu Buwei agrees with his subtext.

"Lu Buwei." She said again: "Support the former king, enter Qin as a minister, and then sit on the position of Prime Minister. Step by step, what do you want?"

They go back to the original question.

This time, Lu Buwei gave the answer.

"It's just that I don't want to be a businessman, and I don't want to be looked down upon by others." He said: "The name of the picture is for profit, and the posterity will praise it."

"You have already done it." Zhao Weizhen said: "And then?"

Before thinking about clearing the last obstacle of Qin State...

Zhao Weizhen was referring to Lu Buwei.
