Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

behind the scenes 03

However, Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei's travel plan encountered difficulties in the middle of going south.

Xiang Yan of Chu joined forces with his son Qi to rebel.

It has only been half a year since the first emperor proclaimed himself emperor, and the rebellion of the old Chu forces on the back foot is basically equivalent to stretching your neck and hitting the knife edge-Qin is waiting for a ready-made rebel to kill chickens and monkeys.

So the first emperor immediately sent troops south to suppress the rebellion.

Lv Buwei and Zhao Weizhen, who were halfway there, made a total calculation and agreed: go back to the state of Wei.

Anyway, they are all retired, so if you fight, it has nothing to do with them!

However, the two had just made a decision, and before they had time to leave, the passing Qin army stationed in the south, and the Qin general who led the army visited the city in person.

People are all in front of their faces, so you can't refuse to meet them.

The general in charge of countering the rebellion this time is General Li Xin.

In history, it was he who was halfway through the Chu campaign, and because of the sudden rebellion of Changping Junzi Qi, he was attacked by the enemy, and caught Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, by surprise.

But at the moment, letting him betray and go around, it can be regarded as giving Li Xin a chance to make trouble in this world, but...

"A counter-rebellion strategy?"

Zhao Weizhen glanced at Lu Buwei in surprise: "Why is the general so modest that he even listens to the opinions of civil servants?"

Among other things, she and Lu Buwei are really not professional!

What countermeasures can these two political sticks have to counter the rebellion!Anyway, in order to brush up his political achievements, Lu Buwei had won several battles with the old general Meng Ao with a face, but Zhao Weizhen had never even been on the battlefield.

Hearing this, General Li Xin just smiled.

"I'm not asking you two for advice on how to govern the army and the strategy of conquest," Li Xin said, "It's just that Mr. Buwei and Mrs. Meng Wei have been mediating with the Chu people for many years, so they should know something about the rebel leaders. The general thought, maybe it's a discussion Once, we can have a strategy to prevent future troubles."

This is really the right person.

Young Master Qi was sent back to the country by Zhao Weizhen himself, and Lu Buwei even went to Chu in person, so we do know a little bit about it.

Especially the leader of the rebellion is Xiang Yan.

Zhao Weizhen turned his head and thought for a while: "The general said 'to prevent future troubles', because he has the confidence to defeat the Chu army."

Li Xin was also polite, and nodded directly: "The Qin army is brave, and no rebel army can match it."

In history, if Lord Changping hadn't rebelled behind his back, Li Xin could have wiped out Chu State with 20 people.In theory, there will be no surprises now.

That being the case...

"How old is Xiang Yan's son?" Zhao Weizhen asked suddenly.

"You can go to the battlefield," Li Xin replied, "It is said that he is also among the rebels."

"And what about his grandson?"

"Is this... related to counter-insurgency?" Li Xin was a little confused.

He didn't understand, but Lu Buwei did.

"A few years ago, when the son sent a letter, he also said that Xiang Yan's son had just got married." Lu Buwei said: "If you count the time, you should have grandchildren."

Hearing this, the lieutenant brought by Li Xin became bolder: "General, Xiang Yan has a grandson named Yu, who was born just a year ago."

So, Xiang Yu is now born!

This will make Zhao Weizhen feel relieved.

After doing the math, she always felt that it was not the year Xiang Yu was born in history.

But Fusu also came later than the historical records. After the young master Qi returned to Chu, the power in Chu changed so much, and a series of butterflies came down. It is not surprising that Xiang Yu was born a few years earlier.

Zhao Weizhen doesn't even care if he is the real Xiang Yu or not.

"After suppressing the rebellion, you can bring the queens of the rebels back to Xianyang." Zhao Weizhen said: "The queens of Xiang Yan, the queens of Prince Qi, especially children under ten years old."

Li Xin immediately followed his train of thought: "As a hostage?"

Zhao Weizhen nodded: "It's also to guard against future troubles. Chudi...is too troublesome, so it's better to start with the baby."

The Qin and Chu cultures were different from the Central Plains culture, and had little influence from the Zhou Dynasty.This also caused Qin Guo to respect the emperor and the first emperor to claim to be orthodox.

Chu Manyi also, do you care if you are orthodox or not?

If you want to completely eliminate the rebellion factor, you have to start influencing from the younger generation.

Especially after Xiang Yan, take it away.

Zhao Weizhen didn't believe it, if Xiang Yu grew up in Xianyang, he would still be able to rebel.

Wouldn't it be better for such a strong general to play for Qin in the future?

Li Xin still hesitated: "Is it too harsh to be a hostage at birth?"

Lu Buwei tilted his head: "When my emperor was two years old, he was also in Handan as a hostage."

Li Xin: "..."

This is not your fault!

Of course, slander belongs to slander, Li Xin dare not speak out to offend Lu Buwei.

"That's a way."

After thinking about it, there is really no better way.Li Xin had no choice but to respond: "Thank you for your suggestions."

Then out of politeness, Li Xin asked again: "Where are you going, sir and madam? If you don't mind, I can send some soldiers to escort them at the end."

"There is no need for the general to worry about it."

Lu Buwei politely evaded: "Suppressing the rebellion is important. Since Chu is in chaos, my wife and I just need to go back."

Zhao Weizhen: "Wait."

Xiang Yan and his son Qi set up troops in Yanying, which is in Hubei.The former Chu land crossed from Hubei to Jiangsu.

"I'd like to trouble the general to divide up the soldiers," Zhao Weizhen said, "I want to go to Sishui County."

Lu Buwei:?

Li Xin:?

The two men present looked at each other.

"Ma'am... what are you doing in Sishui County?" Not only Li Xin, but even Lu Buwei didn't understand.

Zhao Weizhen smiled slightly: "In the border between Qi and Chu, I always feel that there will be a lot of talented people."

Xiang Yu has already arranged where to go, so we can't let the others go, right!

…………

……

All the way to the east, with the escort of soldiers and horses, the journey was much smoother.

On the way, Zhao Weizhen was not idle, and while continuing to teach Deyin, he and Lu Buwei started work related to "Lushi Chunqiu".

When they arrived in Sishui County, the two had already set a preliminary overall framework.

Moreover, this road is not in vain.

In history, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, disasters occurred frequently.Tyranny and natural disasters have caused the people to live in dire straits, which is why there are ambiguities in various places.

I don't know if it was too early for the unification of Qin Dynasty, or the basic productivity has improved, and the situation is better.In short, Zhao Weizhen went all the way east, especially in Anhui and Jiangsu, and felt that the places were much better than the historical records.

Wen Xinhou and Xia Yangjun traveled around to Pei County, escorted by soldiers and horses, even if they wanted to keep a low profile, they couldn't.

As soon as the carriage of a family of three entered the county seat, the county magistrate of Pei County brought people out to greet him in person.

The local county magistrate was quite young, and he looked like a young talent. Seeing that Lu Buwei got out of the car first, he rushed up to help him: "Sir, be careful!"

Lu Buwei: "..."

Zhao Weizhen made up the knife coolly behind him: "Don't you just want this treatment?"

Lu Buwei: "..."

What is this for? He is decades away from being too old to walk!

With a smirk, he avoided the magistrate's hand: "Buwei just walks by himself."

When important people visit, a banquet is inevitable.Even though it was Zhao Weizhen's repeated orders, the county magistrate had the cheek to do it, but everything was kept simple, not extravagant.

Not only the county magistrate, but also local officials, powerful and wealthy people should be present at the table.

Lu Buwei has always been good at dancing, he is good at this, and he can socialize well with others.Therefore, Zhao Weizhen is only responsible for answering with a smile.

After several rounds, Zhao Weizhen didn't remember a few people.

She waited patiently until the county magistrate brought his subordinates over.

"This is Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County." The county magistrate introduced: "If Mr. Wei and Mrs. Meng Wei need something these days, please mention it to Xiao He at any time."

Who, Xiao He?

Hearing the familiar name, the annoyed Zhao Weizhen raised his eyes.

So at this time, Xiao He was an official in Pei County?She followed the sound and saw an easy-going young man who looked to be in his twenties following the county magistrate.

This is the famous Han Prime Minister Xiao He in history.

But to say he...

Zhao Weizhen thought for a while, turned his gaze back to the county magistrate, and said with a smile, "Which one is Lu Gong here today?"

"Mr. Lu?"

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate was taken aback: "Madam, no one present is surnamed Lu."

Ok? ? ?

This is not right!Zhao Weizhen was a little surprised: "Isn't the county magistrate on good terms with Mr. Lu, are they friends for many years?"

Hearing what Zhao Weizhen said, the county magistrate suddenly realized: "It turns out that Madam was talking about my friend! But...but he is not in Pei County now."

After finishing speaking, the county magistrate suddenly felt bad.

"Mrs. Meng Wei knows Mr. Lu," he suddenly became nervous, "but my friend, what mistakes did he make?"

Zhao Weizhen: Broken!

It’s no wonder that the county magistrate looks like he’s suffering. This rounding up is when grassroots officials meet with the central () central leadership, the central () central leadership suddenly asks where you grew up together.

Either way it sounds like a bad thing.

Zhao Weizhen also thought it was a bad thing - she just remembered that Lu Zhi in the historical records moved to Pei County with his father from another place.

In other words, she is not in the local area at the moment!

Thanks to Zhao Weizhen's heart and soul, he wanted to take Lu Zhi away.

Along the way, Zhao Weizhen's calculations were particularly good: Empress Lu in history was a very remarkable figure, and it was absolutely fine to call a female politician.And Zhao Weizhen just needed a girl to succeed Mrs. Lunyi.

Today's Lu Zhiman is just a little lolita, if she is willing, Zhao Weizhen doesn't mind staying and nurturing her.

Not to mention anything else, from the point of view of the current people, it is better to hang out with Mr. Xia Yang than to marry a street slipper in the future!

"No fault."

Fortunately, Zhao Weizhen had a thick skin, so he came here with an excuse: "I just heard that the county magistrate had a good relationship with friends when I came here. Meng Wei is envious of such a friendship that lasts forever, and just wants to see and see."

The county magistrate was a little relieved.

"If madam is interested, I can invite Lu Gong to Pei County." He suggested cautiously.

"Okay."

Zhao Weizhen responded with a smile: "You can invite his family to be a guest, so that I can give some gifts to the family members as an apology for the trouble."

They are all here, but Zhao Weizhen is determined not to leave if he doesn't see Lv Zhi.

Everyone said that they were going to give gifts, but it was no big deal.

No matter how she knew Lu Gong's name, Xia Yangjun was in front of her!Lord Xia Yang wants to give gifts to the women's relatives, which means that the ancestors are even carrying the light.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The county magistrate quickly responded: "I'll—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion in front of the hall door.

The county magistrate finally lifted his heart.Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see a young man dressed in plain clothes in front of the banquet hall, carelessly crossing the threshold, and sat down regardless of the surprise of others.

It was Xiao He who reacted the fastest.

The face of the young Daqin grassroots civil servant changed: "Liu Bang, what are you doing here?!"
