For teacher, for father

Since Li Mu's death and the Qin army's iron hooves smashed Handan City of Zhao State, another great news has come to this now powerful country.

In order to repay the favor of the young King Qin, Zheng Guo not only never had any involvement with South Korea, but even added some sophisticated modification plans to the construction of the Guanzhong Canal, and devoted himself to the construction During the construction of the canal, the construction of the canal was made smoother and more perfect——when the news of the extermination of Zhao was sent back to Xianyang City, the construction of the canal was also completed.

The Guanzhong area is an important military area of ​​Qin. Because of the complex terrain, the people here are suffering from drought and flood every year. Before Zheng Guo came to Qin, the government distributed gold and silver coils to Xianyang City every year for water control. In the hands of the common people, they are forced to return to their hometowns to manage the barren fields and cultivate the land... In this way, every year in the Guanzhong area, the lives of countless people will be ruined in vain because of this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

However, the construction of the Zhengguo Canal has now been completed, which has greatly increased the quality of Guanzhong's fertile land and the output of grain——enhanced the country's economy, and thus made Qin an invincible position in the war of annihilation.

So, with the good news from the last captured Zhao Wangqian and Zheng Guo, Yingzheng and his team, who won a great victory in their first personal conquest, returned to the bustling Xianyang City——

……

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Huayang is asking to see you..."

Zhao Gao wiped off the cold sweat that was seeping from his forehead, and cautiously placed the delicate and delicious green tea in the mahogany tray on the edge of Yingzheng's table, bowing his head and softly reminding the emperor who was buried in the official document: " It's time to wait for a cup of tea outside, do you see?"

"..."

Ying Zheng didn't speak, didn't even raise his head, and continued to flip through the bamboo slips handed over from the Qin Army's garrison on the border of Wei State.

The cold sweat on Zhao Gao's forehead was even worse, the position of the manager is indeed difficult to get, what kind of person is the Empress Dowager Huayang?A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!He is just a small palace man, and he doesn't have a deep-rooted background at the moment, so he dares to lie and refuse to report... But if it is reported, maybe he will be the one who is unlucky!

Maintaining the bowed posture, Zhao Gao only felt that his body was numb and sore, but he could never get up without Ying Zheng's permission, so he had to pass his eyes for help to the national teacher who was leisurely grinding beside the emperor—— Xu Fu.

However, the other party completely ignored him, and even turned his head away - he clearly stated his position of separating the relationship!

Just a joke, he, Xu Fu, is just someone who does things for others, how can he dare to offend his master who is currently in an erratic mood?What's more, the husband is not present, so he dare not touch the tiger's fur... Ignoring Zhao Gao's eyes with peace of mind, Xu Fu straightened himself up, and continued to wait carefully for Ying Zheng to read the bamboo slips.

……

The atmosphere in the small side hall was strange and tense. Only the person involved, Ying Zheng, sat quietly on the carved mahogany chair covered with fox fur. Lazily spit out a few words: "Let her in."

"Yes—the villain is going to summon him now!"

"Then, I'll just tell you..." Seeing that Zheng Ying was discussing "family affairs" with the Queen Mother of Huayang, Xu Fu consciously and quickly prepared to evacuate the scene, but was firmly held by the man before the word "retire" came out. held down the arm.

Ying Zheng looked indifferent. The 25-year-old King Qin was already a mature man, holding Xu Fu in place with his long and powerful arms. On the screen behind him: "You are here for the widow to listen to, and you are not allowed to leave a word."

"Here? Oh... I obey the order!"

Hurriedly hiding behind the screen, Xu Fu immediately cheered up 12 points. Ying Zheng rarely let him participate in the housework of the emperor in the harem... I don’t know that this time the old lady who was active in the palace made another What trick?

Therefore, when the Queen Mother Huayang rushed to the side hall where Yingzheng rested and handled official business, Xu Fu was dumbfounded by the key words in the first sentence——

... Stand up? !

Qin destroyed Zhao and the Guanzhong Canal was built. This is the blessing of the people of Xianyang and the people of Great Qin!Qin Wangzheng amnesty Xianyang City, and under the persuasion of Huayang Queen Mother, he hosted a banquet for all officials in the Dazheng Hall.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that—the Empress Dowager Huayang has recovered from her heart disease, and she came out to dance again. This dinner is coming in a menacing manner, and the banquet is hosted by all the officials and their children, and the old empress personally presides over it, but she just wants to be cold for her family The serious king and grandson accept a good concubine or queen.

The same method, the same way.If it weren't for Hua Yang's advanced age, after hearing the news of the dinner, Ji Hao would have doubted whether this was the intelligent and capable Mrs. Hua Yang in history.

However, although Ji Hao was impatient with the Queen Mother Huayang's court dinner, he unexpectedly did not receive the invitation - even the source of the news was overhearing the conversation of the two civil servants next to him in the early court.

...no one told or invited him to this huge dinner party!Including Ying Zheng.

Banquet all officials?

Ji Hao frowned, and looked down at his dark official uniform and the white jade tablet in his hand.As the crown prince and Taifu, he is listed as the first rank, and he wears an ink robe. Isn't he counted among the hundred officials?

Nothing more...

The man's amber-colored warm eyes raised up, and his gaze quietly fell on the empty gilt king's chair.Could it be that Wei Guo's military situation is too busy these days?These few days Yingzheng has been very secretive, he left in a hurry after the court, and never called him to the inner hall to discuss matters.

"Why am I acting like a girl..."

Ji Hao muttered these words, and gently rubbed his sore forehead.Forcibly withdrew his eyes, thinking about the trivial political affairs of the early morning court in his heart, turned and left the empty Qinzheng Hall in Nuoda.

He needs to calm down, needs to calm down!He absolutely did not doubt whether Yingzheng was suspected of cheating on a romantic partner... Absolutely no suspicion...

Time is like fine sand, slipping quietly through his fingers. While Ji Hao was busy fiddling with the strange flowers and plants and a pile of official documents newly produced by Guiguzi in the house, the sky had gradually become smudged with color like splashed ink, dotted with stars. , The warm night in the dimness successfully made Ji Hao walk out of the room uneasy.

The dinner party is about to begin...the blind date banquet prepared by the Empress Dowager Huayang for Zheng Er!He... is not there!

Sitting restlessly on the chair in the main hall, the man had a mess of long black hair, letting his black hair scatter on his shoulders, casually wearing a beige coat, even those once bright and warm amber eyes Lost in his eyes, he silently picked up the teacup Guiguzi handed him and drank it down in one gulp.

"Uh...cough-cough cough!"

What the hell is this!Not your usual fruit tea?

The strong and choking breath exploded in his throat like a burst, causing Ji Hao to cough continuously, and glared angrily at the innocent and indifferent Guiguzi next to him: "Wang... bastard... what is this, ghost!"

"You can still scold me..." Guiguzi didn't look at Ji Hao, instead, after observing Ji Hao's expression for a few seconds, he carefully picked up the teacup in the other's hand, dipped a little of the liquid inside, and tasted it without any scruples He murmured: "Sure enough, the potency of the medicine is still a bit weaker. You will be speechless next time."

"..."

Lying... trough!

At the last second of losing consciousness, Guiguzi's expressionless words were circling in Ji Hao's mind: next time you will be speechless...you will be speechless...you can say everything not coming out...

And - next time? !
