Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

081

The new emperor went to court for the first time, and made a final decision on how to deal with the Queen Mother's one-party forced palace.

Mrs. Meng Wei, the Taifu, has made great contributions in escorting her. Considering her achievements in the past, she bestowed Xia Yang with the title of Lord Xia Yang.

The Empress Dowager Huayang was sent to Liyang for the elderly, and the ruler of Yangquan gave up his title and property in exchange for the lives of his whole family. He and the other Chu officials who were involved in it, as well as the disciples who were attached to Chu Chen, should be expelled and exiled. Exile, from now on you can no longer step into Xianyang.

Since then, the Chu family, which had been influenced by the Qin court for more than half a century, completely lost the right to speak.

Today, it is Lu Buwei and Zhao Weizhen who are trusted and reused by the King of Qin.

After the turmoil, due to the national mourning, everything in Xianyang City was kept simple.

The restaurants and shops were temporarily closed, so the couple had less to do.

Zhao Weizhen returned home earlier than usual, and as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Lu Buwei coaxing the children to play.

He probably just came back from Xianyang Palace, and he didn't have time to change the court clothes on his body.Lu Buwei stood under the shade of the tree, holding his daughters in his left and right hands, and turned around when he heard the movement.

Touching Zhao Weizhen, he smiled and said, "It's my mother who's back."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Your arm strength is really good!She couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Now Deyin and Wenyin are more than one year old. Although the two sisters are not too fat, they still weigh [-] or [-] catties.It is equivalent to Lu Buwei's left and right arms holding two dumbbells of at least five kilograms, and his face remained unchanged, looking completely at ease.

"What did you say to the king?" Zhao Weizhen stepped forward: "Why don't you let the wet nurse come to hug you?"

"Of course, how to explain to Chu State." Lu Buwei replied with a serious business, and then said seriously: "So what if I hug my daughter? I am busy on weekdays, and it is rare to come back early, so I don't hurry to accompany them."

This is what Lu Buwei did really well.

As soon as the two sisters were born, they were almost taken care of by the whole family.Every day when the couple return home after busy work, they have to spare some time to spend with their daughters.

Some fathers in the 21st century may not be better than Lu Buwei.

So Deyin and Wenyin are still very close to their father.

Deyin grabbed Lu Buwei's skirt, while Wen Yin aimed at the jade belt around his father's waist.The one-year-old child can already understand the meaning of "father" and "mother". As Lu Buwei turned around, the two sisters raised their heads in unison.

When she found out that her mother had really returned, Wen Yin burst out with joy, and reached out to Zhao Weizhen one step ahead of her sister.

Zhao Weizhen took Wen Yin as a matter of course.

As a result, the younger sister was hugged in her arms, and Deyin, who was a step behind, didn't want to hug her, her face wrinkled, and she began to cry.

Lu Buwei: "Okay, okay, don't cry. Can't Father hug you?"

Deyin shook her head desperately: "Wow——"

Lu Buwei: "..."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "It seems that my father's face is still not as big as my mother's."

Hearing the crying, Zhao Liang, who became a grandfather, hurried over.

Zhao Liang was guilty of not being able to share the worries for his daughter in major matters, and he always liked children, so after Zhao Weizhen gave birth, the grandfather happily took over the burden of helping to take care of the children.

Grandpa coaxed the two sisters away, and Zhao Weizhen returned to the topic.

"You need to come forward to mediate on the matter of Chu State." She said: "If you deal with a large number of foreign ministers, you will provoke Chu State's displeasure. As the Prime Minister of a country, you can only show that Qin State attaches importance to it."

Lu Buwei: "Even if I go, I have to go with sincerity."

Zhao Weizhen thought for a moment: "Young Master Qi's wife has recently had another son, right? Please ask the king to reward you with a lot of money to celebrate the young master's anniversary."

Gong Ziqi's wife is the princess of Qin State, and Qin Xiang's envoy can be regarded as the care of her natal family.

Lu Buwei just smiled: "It's just that these are not enough."

Zhao Weizhen turned his head sideways.

Lu Buwei: "Weizhen understands what I mean."

She didn't understand at first, but when he said that, she understood.

"After this incident, although Chuchen was completely driven out." Zhao Weizhen lowered his voice: "But it also broke the marriage alliance between Qin and Chu. You still want to continue this tradition."

"It's okay." Lu Buwei said.

Zhao Weizhen pursed his lips.

Her silence made Lu Buwei understand: "Weizhen doesn't quite agree. I think the monarch I brought up is just a child, right?"

This is just one of the reasons.

Lu Buwei saw that she was silent, and suggested: "You can marry, you can also marry. If Weizhen thinks it's not suitable, it's better to marry a Qin princess."

Zhao Weizhen sneered: "How old is the King of Chu?"

Might as well marry!

King Wan of Chu was a hostage in Qin in his early years, and he has been on the throne for 15 years since he escaped with the help of Lord Chunshen.Not to mention anything else, his eldest son, Gongzi Qi, is the same age as Zhao Weizhen, and just because of this, he can't marry a beautiful young girl to a bad old man.

In the pre-Qin era, such political marriages abounded, but Zhao Weizhen was a modern person after all, and she couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

"The harem of the Chu Kingdom is inherently complicated." Zhao Weizhen said: "Princesses of the Qin Kingdom should not go into this muddy water. Besides, the young master Qi has already married a princess of the Qin Kingdom. If another princess is sent there, the King of Chu will marry her." , the seniority is messed up; the crown prince is married, and it will add trouble to the son Qi."

In any case, it is more appropriate to marry a princess of Chu State.

Intellectually, Zhao Weizhen understands that this is the safest choice, and she doesn't like this way of marriage at this time.

Although Zhao Weizhen explained the key points clearly to Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji when he was in Handan, Ying Zheng, who was still a small bean at that time, understood and accepted this method early.Moreover, Zhao Weizhen couldn't think of a girl Ying Zheng, who has always been introverted and cold, would fall in love with a girl to death.

"The troubles of the Empress Dowager Huayang have just been settled." Zhao Weizhen said again: "I will welcome another concubine surnamed Mi, and I am afraid of repeating the same mistakes."

Especially Zhao Weizhen knows history.

At the end of Qin, Han and Chu, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised their troops to revolt, playing the banner of son Fusu and Xiang Yan.It can be deduced from this that the mother of the son Fusu must be a daughter of Chu.

And if Qin Chu continues to marry, the princess of Chu State will give birth to the eldest son, even if he is not the son Fusu, he will still have a mother from Chu State.

If he is made the crown prince, maybe a group of queen mothers will be raised again.

If you don't make him the crown prince, you will waste the elders and establish the younger ones, and there may be problems at that time.

The more Zhao Weizhen thought about it, the more he felt a headache.

"Weizhen."

Lu Buwei spoke softly, interrupting Zhao Weizhen's train of thought: "You think too far."

She suddenly came back to her senses, and met Lu Buwei's clear eyes.

"The monarch is young, even if we are engaged now, the princess of Chu will marry at least three years later." Lu Buwei's voice was very gentle: "What's more, the current Qin court is no longer threatened by the Queen Mother. You and I are by my side."

Also.

If you think about it carefully, history has changed a lot.

The future Lord Changping is now in the state of Chu vying for the position of heir.The Empress Dowager Huayang, who will control the court in the future, is equivalent to being "exiled" to Liyang.

It is recorded in history that Ying Chengxi wanted to rebel against his own brother, but now he is still one brother at a time, following behind the young Ying Zheng, looking forward to his brothers as heroes.

From the current point of view, the mother clan of Chu State is not there, and Zhao Weizhen is completely worried about something that does not exist at all.

It's one thing to know the future, but you can't let the past limit your thinking.

"I was overthinking it."

Zhao Weizhen's heart trembled slightly, but fortunately, Lu Buwei reminded her, otherwise she would definitely walk into a dead end.

But well...

"Since it's the monarch's marriage, you should discuss it with the king, and...uh." Zhao Weizhen thought for a while: "This matter will trouble Zhao Ji."

Qin Wangzheng is only 12 years old this year, no matter how much he has ideas, no matter how powerful Lu Buwei and Zhao Weizhen are, his mother still has to do the engagement.

In this regard, Zhao Ji was born with the right to speak.

"After discussing with the king, confirm the mission, and then talk to the envoys of Chu State." Zhao Weizhen ordered: "After the initial screening, let the Queen Mother take a look..."

"What?" Seeing Zhao Weizhen's complex expression, Lu Buwei couldn't help asking.

"You're right." Zhao Weizhen couldn't bear to look directly at him: "This is too young."

The young monarch is only 12 years old this year!

In the 21st century, he has just graduated from primary school.If parents knew that they fell in love at the age of 12, it is estimated that Ying Zichu would pick up his slippers and chase after Ying Zheng.

At the age of 12, even his voice has not changed. Even if the ancients paid attention to early engagement, Zhao Weizhen is still a little subtle.

Feeling like yesterday he was still a waistless little douding, Zhao Weizhen muttered in his heart, and today he is starting to find a wife for him.

What's more, if you are a matchmaker for King Qin, you must find a girl of the same age.

In ancient times, women were 15 years old and Ji, and then they could get married.Zhao Weizhen's original body also married to the Qi State at the age of 15, probably because he was too young. The original body and Tian Ying had a deep relationship, but there was no sign of pregnancy for a whole year.

In fact, Zhao Weizhen thinks this is luck.

She was even thankful that Lu Buwei led people away from Handan - she didn't want to be a teenage mother.

After being separated for many years, it can be regarded as dragging Zhao Weizhen into his 20s.

The risk of giving birth to a young girl is too great. Zhao Weizhen knows that she should not have any expectations of political marriage, but as a woman, she can't help empathizing.

"I'm going to talk to the Queen Mother and see if they are older." Zhao Weizhen whispered, "It's best to get to Ji now, even if they regret it three years later, it's the Chu people's problem."

"That's fine." Lu Buwei nodded.

As long as they are stable for the past few years, it doesn't really matter whether they are married or not.

Maybe three years later, Qin State has incorporated Chu State into its territory.

After the two of them had finished discussing the business, the crying sound that had just left for a short time, hurriedly approached again.

The waiter was very helpless and hugged his daughter to Zhao Weizhen again: "Deyin insists on seeing grandma."

Deyin, who was in someone else's arms, squeezed a small face, her fair and round face flushed from crying.As soon as she saw Zhao Weizhen, she stretched out her hand, still muttering the unclear pronunciation of "mama".

As for Wen Yin, she was hugged by the nurse on the side, still quacking and laughing.

Zhao Weizhen was helpless and funny, and raised his arms to hug Deyin.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Weizhen hugged Deyin firmly, she immediately stopped crying.One second he was still wailing, the next second his voice was completely silent, his face changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

"You girl."

Zhao Weizhen tapped Deyin's little nose lightly: "Very stubborn."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the silly Wen Yin again: "That one has a tiger's head and a tiger's head."

Lu Buwei: "Wen Yin is more like Wei Zhen."

Zhao Weizhen glared at him immediately: "You mean I'm a tiger?"

Lu Buwei just smiled and said nothing, he stepped forward and reached out to Deyin: "Come on, don't tire your mother."

But as soon as his hand touched Deyin, Deyin wrinkled his nose again, as if to cry.

Lu Buwei: "..."

Zhao Weizhen was about to laugh out loud!

Today's Lu Buwei is the prime minister of a country.How many people are waiting to curry favor with him, how many things can he influence with one word?

Right now, only his own daughter can make him completely deflated and lose his temper.

"If you cry, it's useful, you can get favored," Lu Buwei looked at the happy Deyin, and couldn't help saying sourly, "I cry too."

"Are you competing with your daughter for favor?"

Zhao Weizhen gave him a sideways glance: "Come on, cry and show me."

If it were the man next to him, he would probably feel annoyed or shy when he heard his wife tease her like this.But who is Lu Buwei?Not only was he not embarrassed, but he even took half a step forward to get closer.

Lu Buwei was half a head taller than her, still leaned down () and leaned into Zhao Weizhen's ear: "If Weizhen likes to watch it, you can watch it in Buwei's room tonight."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

If the servant and daughter were not there, Zhao Weizhen really wanted to kick him.

Lu Buwei didn't seem to notice her expression at all, and still smiled cheekily: "Wei Zhen feels like—"

"--Owner!"

Before the words fell to the ground, Wei Sheng hurried over: "Master, there are travelers from other countries, and asked someone to hand over the greeting card."

Lu Buwei: "..."

You are a few steps late!

The ambiguous smile on his face froze for a moment: "No see."

Wei Sheng was taken aback: "Huh?"

On weekdays, the master treats these wandering strategists very politely.If someone comes to Qin and wants to follow his path, no matter whether he has real talents or not, the master will arrange a place to live and take time to chat with him.

It was the first time to say no directly.

"This……"

Wei Sheng couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked at Zhao Weizhen for help.

Zhao Weizhen smiled and said, "Wei Sheng, you haven't got a wife yet, have you?"

Wei Sheng: "Huh???"

Just this unenlightened energy is far worse than your brother Wei Xing!No wonder I can't find a wife.

Zhao Weizhen slandered in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help but follow the interrupted matter: they have already sat on the position of the prime minister of a country, and Ying Zheng has also ascended the throne.

But Lu Buwei didn't have three thousand diners like in the legend.

In history, Lu Buwei wanted to imitate the four sons of the Warring States Period and recruit more followers and network talents, and thus began to be feared by Qin Wangzheng.

but now--

"Those wanderers who came to see you," Zhao Weizhen asked, "most of them were recommended by you, and I didn't see you taking them for your own use."

"What do I accept so many tourists for?"

Lu Buwei was a little surprised: "We need to pay for food and food, Wei Zhen is willing?"

That must be reluctant, is it easy to make money!

"Collect tourists and keep followers, you can gain a good reputation, and you can also advise and advise you." Zhao Weizhen thought for a while and said again.

But Lu Buwei laughed out loud.

He looked over with clear eyes, there was ridicule in it, but more intimacy.

Even though Wei Sheng was in front of him, Lu Buwei still stretched out his hand and squeezed Zhao Weizhen's wrist almost intimately.He said softly: "Those thousand or ten thousand diners, can they be more useful than you and me?"

The implication is that with Zhao Weizhen around, he doesn't need help from outsiders with his good reputation and ideas.

Zhao Weizhen thought about it carefully, and realized that Lu Buwei was right.

Today's Lu Buwei doesn't seem to lack these false names at all. Just joining forces with Zhao Weizhen to eradicate the Chu faction is enough for him to accumulate prestige in Xianyang.As for feeding diners?Can it be greater than the benefits of continuing to join hands with his wife?

If there is no urgent need, it will not be done.

Unexpectedly, she has done so much, and the most direct change now is her own business.

"If you don't see it, you won't see it."

Zhao Weizhen didn't take it seriously: "Where did you come from?"

Wei Sheng didn't mind.

"Mrs. Hui." He replied indifferently, "He's from Chu, his name is Li Si."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Wei Sheng: "Professing to be an apprentice of Xunzi, but he is just a minor official."

Zhao Weizhen: "... Let's meet again."

She was about to shed a cold sweat!

In just a few words, Li Si was almost wiped out, but that's okay!
