Entertainment Qin Shi

Chapter 84
Cheng Yu rebelled, and even blatantly began to recruit troops, completely crazy.

Qin State also reacted quickly. At the end of May, they dispatched an army to suppress the rebellion. Wang Jian was the main general, and Wang Ben and Wang Jue were the vanguards.

……

On this day, Zhao Jia was invited into the Lama Temple where Qin Wangzheng handled government affairs daily, and saw his childhood playmate again.

Wearing a silver-white uniform, Ying Zheng looked full of dignity and extraordinary bearing. He stood at the window and looked into the distance with a gloomy expression, even a little confused, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.

"Foreigner Zhao Jia, I have met King Qin!"

Zhao Jia took two steps forward, bowed his hands to salute Ying Zheng, and at the same time glanced at Gai Nie, the little sword-wielding brother beside him.

This talented student in Ghost Valley seems to have really become a bodyguard now...

"To invite you here today, there is no difference between a monarch and a minister, so you don't need to be polite."

Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Jia, and said softly.

Paused.

He continued: "I want to talk to you about Cheng Yu. During this period of time, you must have heard about Cheng Yu. He had the most frequent contacts with you before he left for the expedition, so I really want to know. He What did he say to you, and did you notice his abnormality?"

"King Qin didn't even notice, so what can I notice?"

Zhao Jia shook his head and said softly.

"...I have thought about it for a long time, but I still don't understand why Cheng Yu did this. Is it really for the throne?"

Ying Zheng seemed to be talking to himself, speaking slowly.

Zhao Jia looked at the somewhat confused king in front of him, and said softly, "Is it important? From the moment he betrayed the King of Qin, isn't everything already doomed?"

"Since ancient times, emperors have called themselves widows. Could it be that they are really lonely?"

Ying Zheng laughed at himself, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said slowly.

Since he sat on the throne, his mother Zhao Ji has gradually become estranged from him. The only younger brother Cheng Yu who is close to him and can talk to him has also betrayed him now. The feeling of loneliness that there is no one around him makes him feel unspeakable. Feeling suffocated, Ying Zheng is a born king, but he is only a 19-year-old boy now.

Of course, being widowed does not mean being alone, but Ying Zheng felt that he was becoming more and more like a widow.

"Emperors are inherently lonely."

Zhao Jia looked at the young king in front of him and said slowly.

The sadness in Ying Zheng's eyes quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, he looked at Zhao Jia, and said softly: "I am very curious, if one day you return to the country, will you also compete with your brothers Throne?"

He looked at Zhao Jia, seeming very curious about Zhao Jia's choice.

Because Zhao Jia was originally the prince of Zhao State, it would be reasonable for him to return to the country and compete with Zhao Qian for the crown prince.

"Will King Qin let me go back to the country?"

Zhao Jia asked back.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Jia calmly, "You answer the widow's question first."

"meeting!"

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

"If it were me, I would too!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "Everything that should belong to you should not be given to others. If you had understood this truth earlier, you would not be reduced to Qin as a hostage. For Qin, It is better for Zhao Qian to become the king of Zhao than for you to be the king of Zhao!"

He answered Zhao Jia's question, he would not let Zhao Jia go back to China!

"King Qin really thinks highly of me. In fact, even if I return to the country, I may not be able to beat Zhao Qian."

Zhao Jia smiled wryly, and said self-deprecatingly.

With Zhao Wangyan, Changhou, Guo Kai and others standing for Zhao Qian, his position as the prince cannot be shaken by Zhao Jia, a loner, unless he can persuade Li Mu to help him, learn from him, and maybe rebel Success, but in this way, the name is not justified.

Even if such a throne is obtained, there will be endless troubles.

Look at those masters who tried to usurp the throne in history, none of them ended well.

"If the widow sends you to persuade Cheng Yu to give up, are you sure?"

Ying Zheng suddenly said something out of the blue.

You care so much about this brotherhood... Zhao Jia was a little surprised, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he said slowly, "No."

Ying Zheng also seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and did not continue this topic: "I just ask, you don't need to be nervous, I invite you here, I just want to ask you why you haven't been painting for the queen mother recently, why did you not paint for the queen mother recently? Today, the widow heard that you painted for the Empress Dowager, which made the Empress Dowager feel comfortable and happy, could something have happened?"

Perhaps because of Cheng Yu's affairs, he has recently become concerned about the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji's affairs.

Uh, I failed to confess your mother, what do you want me to say...

Zhao Jia showed embarrassment, lowered his head, and said nothing, there was no way to answer this, he couldn't tell the truth, he didn't want to be torn apart by five horses.

Ying Zheng seemed to be aware of Zhao Jia's "difficulties", and said softly: "You and the queen mother are old acquaintances. She has been in a bad mood in recent years. During the period when you painted for her, the queen mother seemed to be much happier. , so, the widow hopes that you can continue to paint for it."

Isn't that good...Zhao Jia pursed her lips, and said with some embarrassment: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to see me anymore."

"The queen mother is just talking, and she often says this to the widow, you don't need to take it to heart, if you can take good care of the queen mother for the widow, the widow can keep you safe in Qin State in the future!"

Ying Zheng made a promise that he was unwilling to let Zhao Jia go back to the country. Similarly, he would not use Zhao Jia too much. The significance of this promise can be imagined.

"King Qin's words are serious!"

Zhao Jia's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, he had to admit that he was a little excited when he heard the words.

"Naturally, why should I deceive you about this matter?"

Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"I try my best!"

Zhao Jia frowned and considered for a while, then took a deep breath, as if he had made a major decision, and said in a deep voice.

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face: "You don't need to worry. Although I won't let you go back to the country, I won't make things difficult for you. If you can do this well, I will reward you!"

It's a deal... Zhao Jia was silent. At this moment, he felt that Ying Zheng was a good person.

Zhao Jia left with his will.

Ying Zheng turned his back to Gai Nie and said slowly, "Sir, what do you think of this Young Master Jia?"

"Judging by his words and deeds, he is a modest gentleman!"

Gai Nie pondered for a while, hurt by the criticism, and opened his mouth to comment, no matter how you say it, Zhao Jia's unparalleled handsome face is still a plus.

Good-looking people are always easy to feel good about.

"I hope he can take good care of the queen mother!"

There was a hint of apology in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he whispered to himself, as the king of Qin, it is impossible for him to be filial to his mother like an ordinary child, especially in the current troubled state of Qin!
