In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 143

Huayang Palace.

The sun was shining brightly, and the Empress Dowager Huayang was tending the flowers in the backyard. Under the guidance of the court lady, Mr. Changping walked behind her and bowed.

"The Queen Mother."

"Why, did you finally remember to greet Ai's family today?"

Ever since Mr. Changping's subordinates were dealt with by the Queen Mother Huayang, there has always been a gap in his heart.But now, after he went to Mr. Chang'an, he finally understood the depth of it.

"I returned to Xianyang with Mr. Chang'an, and learned that he has been investigating the whereabouts of a caravan in Xianyang these days. I heard a person's name in it."

Lord Changping paused, and spoke.

"Zhao Shuang!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang put down the scissors in her hand, turned around, looked at Mr. Changping with her head down, and said with a smile.

"Do you understand?"

Mr. Changping glanced around and said softly.

"Empress Dowager, I have been thinking about Zhao Shuang's origin for the past few days?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head, continued to pick up the scissors, and cut the branches and leaves.

"Who is Zhao Shuang, does it matter?"

Jun Changping followed behind her, and just opened his mouth, but was blocked by the words of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Xiong Qi, don't look at you as Lord Changping of the Qin Kingdom. You seem to have a high position and authority. But to many people in the Qin Kingdom, you are just an outsider. If you really want to compete, you may not be an opponent. This time the water is muddy Let's go!"

Lord Changping lowered his head, following his steps, not daring to disobey.

"You can't beat Lu Buwei, not only because of your ability, but also because standing behind him is the king of Daqin. But in this court, not only you and Lu Buwei are there, but the state of Qin is so big, there are many people in it. Wait and see."

"Where is Cheng Yu?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang glanced at him and said slowly.

"No matter what he promised you, and no matter how moved you are, you must remember that your biggest enemy is Lu Buwei, not the king of Qin."

Hearing these slightly warning words, Mr. Changping's complexion changed, and then returned to normal.

"Empress Dowager, Zhao Shuang is here!"

Mr. Changping was startled, but when the young man in the distance came over, the Empress Dowager Huayang changed her expression, her face was very gentle.

"Shuang'er, you've been in Shangyu for so long, and you seem to have lost weight."

In Mr. Changping's impression, since he became an official, the Empress Dowager Huayang's face has lost this warmth.

"Meet the Queen Mother."

Zhao Shuang handed over the big box he was carrying, and the maid beside the Empress Dowager Huayang took it.

"what is this?"

Zhao Shuang opened the box, and inside was a thousand-year-old ginseng, complete with beard and tail.

"Recently, I sent people to Donghu to do a business. This ginseng is the best among them. I kept it specially and dedicated it to the Queen Mother."

Mr. Changping's expression froze, and he thought to himself, it really is him!

The answer Cheng Yu wanted appeared in front of him like this, so easily, the bloody storm behind it, like a layer of fog, dissipated in an instant.

But Mr. Changping felt more and more heavy in his heart.

The smile on the Empress Dowager Huayang's face grew stronger as she spoke with a smile.

"Shuang'er still has a heart, not like that Zhao Laosi. The Ai family helped him send the brothers from your clan to the king to become Zhonglang, but he didn't even send a gift."

"Tell me, did he ask for such a request?"

The Empress Dowager Huayang said that she was a little aggrieved, but Mr. Changping heard it, but it was not the same thing at all.

Zhonglang?How many more?When did this happen?

Mr. Changping was a little startled, he didn't notice it at all beforehand?He looked at Zhao Shuang again, and heard that his peers in his clan far surpassed him, but there was no awkward expression on his face.

"The patriarch is old and has forgotten things. It is inevitable that he will be inconsiderate. The queen mother calmed down." Zhao Shuang shook his head and sighed a little, "It's like the battle between Qin and Zhao not long ago. Injured and in urgent need of war horses, the patriarch sold hundreds of war horses to Taiyuan, but it has been so long, and I only thought of collecting the bill two days ago."

Taiyuan cavalry, isn't that Lu Buwei's power?

Mr. Changping glanced at Zhao Shuang, thinking that the Queen Mother Huayang would be displeased, but he didn't expect her to touch the ginseng in the box and laugh heartily.

"Okay! Shuang'er, the Ai family has received your kindness. It seems that I really have to reward you."

Just as Mr. Changping was wondering, the Empress Dowager Huayang turned to look at him.

"I remember you have a daughter!"

Mr. Changping was taken aback for a moment, thinking what's going on, why is it his daughter?

"Yes, it's Mi Lian."

The Empress Dowager Huayang nodded, very satisfied.

"Then Ai's family will be the master, and promise her to you!"

Zhao Shuang was taken aback, are you rewarding me or punishing me?

Mi Lian is the daughter of Lord Changping's concubine, Zhao Shuang is just a concubine, and the identities and status of the two parties are very different.

But the problem is age.

With so many women of the right age, why did you choose a little girl?

However, Mr. Changping's complexion changed drastically, and he cupped his hands slightly.

"But Lian'er is still young!"

The Empress Dowager Huayang waved her hand, as if she didn't care.

"Girls grow up fast, make a marriage first, and wait until Shuang'er performs the crowning ceremony, Mi Lian will soon reach the age of Jiji in a few years. For men, the most important thing is the main wife. Marry a few concubines first. Concubine, welcoming the main wife again is also a common thing."

The Empress Dowager Huayang didn't seem to notice the embarrassment at the moment, she smiled.

"From now on, we will be a family, we must get close to each other!"

Prime Minister's House.

Lu Buwei frowned as he looked at the military newspaper sent from Taiyuan.

Since the defeat of Lai Ai, the army in Taiyuan has quickly been rebuilt.However, the speed of progress far exceeded Lu Buwei's imagination.

"Xiangbang!"

"What happened to what I asked you to check?"

"It has been found out that the hundreds of war horses sent to Taiyuan were sent from those horse farms in Beidi."

Hundreds of war horses are not a small amount. Even if Lai Ai has the money to buy them, who has the money to sell them?

"Who does the racecourse belong to? Is there any news?"

"It's all the property of some aristocratic families. Their patriarchs, those noble and veteran officials, came to Xiangbang's mansion not long ago."

"Come to my house?"

Lu Buwei had to deal with matters big and small every day, and he also had to meet so many people from all over the state of Qin, he couldn't remember clearly.

After being reminded by Wei Zhuang, Lu Buwei seemed to have remembered something.At the banquet at the beginning, there were all the old and noble ministers.And the leader among them, Lu Buwei wanted to come, still has a deep impression on him.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and sighed slightly.

"The truth is that I thought it was just some stupid old man, but now it seems that it has some meaning."
