Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

054

Even in the pre-Qin period, Xianyang, as the capital of Qin, had a population of hundreds of thousands.

However, cities in this era still function more as political centers.

Therefore, Zhao Weizhen found out as early as when he crossed over, whether it is Handan in Zhao State or Xianyang in Qin State, in addition to commercial stores such as restaurants, restaurants, hotels and shops near the posthouse, more citizens gather in Therefore, because there is no land, handicraft production is carried out.

This has also led to the fact that, even with a population of hundreds of thousands, Xianyang City, especially near Zhangtai Palace, cannot be called prosperous and lively.

However, the crispness of autumn and the sky full of gold have a different kind of beauty.

The two walked among the rustling leaves, their dark costumes completely lit up by the bright yellow.Young couples walked side by side, and occasionally someone passed by, even if they didn't recognize Lu Buwei and Zhao Weizhen, they couldn't help but look curiously at them because of their demeanor.

As Lu Buwei walked, he laughed out loud.

"What?" Zhao Weizhen tilted his head.

"It's nothing." He responded with a smile: "Buwei just thought that this is probably the first time in thousands of years for a couple of the same dynasty."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Not to mention counting forward, it is estimated that there are not many counting backwards.

After a good start, Lu Buwei looked at the warm sky.

"Handan has not been peaceful recently," he said with emotion, "the funeral that is going to be held is by no means the one of Mr. Pingyuan."

Zhao Weizhen said in surprise, "Who else died?"

Lu Buwei: "I don't know Weizhen, but I must have heard of it. Before going to court, Wei Sheng just brought the news that Lin Xiangru died."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

The extremely familiar name fell into his ears, and Zhao Weizhen was taken aback for a moment.

When he was in Handan, Zhao Weizhen was indeed not familiar with him, and his original memory was probably the image of a well-known upright and brave civil servant, as if he met his father Zhao Liang, that is, to the extent of saying hello to each other.

But this is Lin Xiangru!

There are many allusions left in later generations, and there are records in history. Lin Xiangru is one of the few who deflated King Qin Zhaoxiang, the great demon king.

For a while, Zhao Weizhen still had some regrets.

Although I know that people are always going to die, but now I am in the same space with these people who have left their names in history, and I still feel somewhat embarrassed when I hear the news of their departure.

Although Lu Buwei didn't know what Zhao Weizhen was thinking, he sighed.

Zhao Weizhen thought for a moment: "Zhao Guo may suffer from war."

Lu Buwei nodded in agreement: "Even if the king of Qin is not in good health, there will always be other kings coveting it."

Zhao Weizhen: "For example, Yan Guo."

The countries bordering Zhao today, apart from Qin, are Wei and Yan.The state of Wei had already been defeated by the state of Qin until the king surrendered, so naturally he had no strength to attack other countries.

But Yan State is different.

The two countries of Yan and Qi do not border on the Qin State, and are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. They are much less intimidated by the Qin State, and there are no frequent wars between them.

"Today's Yan Wangxi is short-sighted and extremely greedy." According to Yuan's memory and Zhao Weizhen's understanding of historical records, she said mercilessly when she said harsh words: "Timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but thinking of occupying Small and cheap."

Lu Buwei laughed out loud: "This is the father of Young Master Dan, Weizhen."

It is because he is Yandan's father that Zhao Weizhen's evaluation of him is even lower.

King Xi of Yan in history, knowing that Prince Dan hired assassins to assassinate King Qin, not only did not stop him, but acquiesced.

And if you acquiesce, just acquiesce. After Jing Ke failed to assassinate Ying Zheng, he was afraid that King Qin would blame him, so he directly killed Prince Dan and gave his head to Ying Zheng.

Tiger poison still does not eat children.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weizhen became angry: among other things, how old is Yandan now?

If you send a proton, you will give a proton, but Yan Dan was only six years old when she was sent as a hostage.With such a father, Yan Dan will develop the character of observing words and expressions and speaking out to please others.

He is obviously a good boy, but with such a father, who wouldn't be angry!It is strange that Zhao Weizhen has a good evaluation of Yan Wangxi.

"That's why." She said angrily, "I'm worthless for Young Master Dan."

Lu Buwei knew that she and Yan Dan also had a teacher-student relationship, seeing Zhao Weizhen revealing his true feelings, he just smiled.

"Now Zhao Guo has lost two famous ministers, Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru," Lu Buwei said. "If someone instigates, Yan Wangxi will definitely be shaken. He will take advantage of the opportunity to start a war and get some benefits back."

"It's not that easy."

Zhao Weizhen shook his head: "The State of Zhao still has General Lian Po."

With the current strength of Yan State, an old general Lian Po is enough to beat them back and forth several times.

Lu Buwei: "But there is only one General Lian Po left in Zhao Guo."

Zhao Weizhen immediately understood what he meant.

"Now in the Zhao Kingdom, the monarch is impatient and the prince is narrow-minded." Lu Buwei continued: "The next generation of nobles, there is no one who can provoke the leader, let alone people like Guo Kai, who have no skills, but are close to the prince. Not a good thing."

"You still know Guo Kai?" Zhao Weizhen raised his eyebrows.

Now Guo Kai is only in his teens and has not yet entered the court as a minister.

Lu Buwei responded seriously: "He has repeatedly provoked troubles, intending to bully Prince Zheng and trouble Wei Zhen, of course I know."

The two walked slowly and talked slowly, and they were far away from Zhangtai Palace during the conversation.

There were more people on the road, and most of them recognized the identity of the couple who were taking a leisurely walk.Looking from a distance, one is personable and the other is dignified, which is really eye-catching.

From a superficial point of view, the so-called fairy couples are nothing more than that.

"The descendants of Zhao State are all so cheap, it can be said that they are out of reach, but for Qin State, it is a good thing." Lu Buwei said again.

Zhao Weizhen didn't speak.

What Lu Buwei said was the truth, but not exactly what he said.

Seeing Zhao Weizhen's silence, Lu Buwei seemed surprised and turned his head: "Weizhen is in Handan and knows the situation better than me, but do you think there are still potential people in Zhao State?"

When he said this, Lu Buwei seemed curious and dazed. His tone was casual, as if he was chatting with Zhao Weizhen about the situation in other countries.

Just dress it up.

When Zhao Yan and Guo Kai were mentioned, Zhao Weizhen quickly understood his purpose—even Guo Kai knew it, so why don't you know the rest?

Zhao Weizhen didn't mind, but she found it a little funny.

For this matter, he was able to go around in a big circle, starting with the news of Lin Xiangru's death.I have to say that Lu Buwei is really patient.

"Before I left Handan, the old general Lian Po recommended a young man to join the army to guard the border." Zhao Weizhen didn't point out, and continued to play with him with great interest.

She casually raised her hands to gather her hair together, and continued: "After a few years now, he should be a young general who can handle his own duties."

Lu Buwei raised his dark eyes, his gaze followed Zhao Weizhen's arm all the time.

The maid in the mansion told Lu Buwei before that Madam doesn't like their service in daily life, except for combing her hair.Every time she combs her hair, the wife always complains about the trouble, so she asks them to help.

I don't know if Weizhen has noticed it on her own, but she probably dislikes the heavy bun, so she will raise her hand to close it intentionally or not.

She raised her hand, half covering her wrist.Although she didn't wear the gold bracelet he gave her, her skin was smooth and snowy, and she was exquisite and slender.

In particular, Zhao Weizhen's hands are not so meticulous, she often does the work herself, and she appears to be much stronger than ordinary women.This made the half-inch skin more delicate, and even the two cyan veins winding under the skin looked like embellishments.

The complexion was even more white against the black hair, and then Zhao Weizhen put down his hands.

Lu Buwei looked back calmly.

"But little general Li Mu?" He spit out this sentence lightly.

"really."

Zhao Weizhen affirmed, and then deliberately said with great interest: "Did you also know this?"

Lu Buwei: "Zhao has a great talent, of course there will be spies to inform me. It's just that Buwei found out a little later."

"Why?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"General Li Mu's joining the army was pushed by Weizhen after communicating with him." Lu Buwei said gently: "Perhaps the servants are afraid that you and I will have emotional rifts because of this, so they have never dared to talk to me."

The words were euphemistic, but the meaning was very clear: he even knew that Zhao Weizhen had met Li Mu, and naturally he was also aware of the rumors in the city.

As for the rumors...

After thinking about the rumors other than those related to Li Mu, Zhao Weizhen immediately burst out laughing.

Lu Buwei blinked blankly: "What is Weizhen laughing at?"

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing."

This must have been a slip of the tongue, so Lu Buwei went to inquire on his own.

Otherwise, why not mention it until now?

But the caravan and servants who came back from Handan could tell Lu Buwei about Li Mu, but they would never dare to tell Lu Buwei the rumors that had spread before!

"The rumors are all rumors." Zhao Weizhen replied with a smile: "I just saw Li Mu, he is upright, upright, knowledgeable, and has the demeanor of a future generation of famous generals, so I plan to persuade him to come to Qin."

Lu Buwei: "No success?"

Zhao Weizhen: "It didn't work."

Lu Buwei nodded when he heard the words: "Even Weizhen's eloquence has never been persuaded, he is a person worthy of admiration."

After finishing speaking, he seriously added: "I didn't blame Weizhen for mentioning this matter. Buwei just felt that he had to thank Weizhen personally."

"Thank me for what?"

"You and I have been separated for four years, and the parting was extremely hasty that day." Lu Buwei said solemnly: "You are in Handan, you can find another home. But Weizhen not only didn't do this, but helped Buwei wholeheartedly. Of course, Buwei should thank Weizhen, Xie Weizhen appreciates it."

Even at the end, he saluted his wife regardless of the people on the side of the road.

Zhao Weizhen looked down at him and bowed his head in salute.

On this kind of topic, Zhao Weizhen really admires his attitude.

"You really don't mind?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"Really. Buwei believes in Weizhen, if not, wouldn't it be—"

After Lu Buwei said this, he raised his head, met Zhao Weizhen's half-smiling eyes, and vowed to stop abruptly half of the beautiful words he had spoken.

If it were someone else, it would probably be embarrassing because of this silent teasing, but Lu Buwei was able to take it back without changing his face or beating his heart.

"Actually, I still mind."

Lu Buwei lowered his voice: "How could you not mind? Weizhen is my sweetheart, so can you not mind whose lover is coveted by others?"

Zhao Weizhen said unforgivingly: "Since you mind, why do you say you don't mind?"

Lu Buwei frowned slightly.

He tilted his head, pretending to be confused, and there was a bit of just right distress in his clear facial features.

"Buwei doesn't understand." Lu Buwei asked: "Madam, do you want Wei to mind, or not?"

The implication is: You are teasing me here for pretending to be garlic, so if you don't care, how can you be jealous of me?

Well, back to the army.

Zhao Weizhen felt that even if Lu Buwei didn't have any feelings for her, he would definitely be angry if he knew the rumors about Handan.

If Lu Buwei had an affair with other women, Zhao Weizhen would be annoyed.

If you want to find someone else, break up first, so that it is good for your partner and your sweetheart.

Of course he doesn't mind, he doesn't mind. As for making a big circle, he wants to bring this matter up specifically?Since you believe her, why worry about her.

If you mind it, then you mind, Zhao Weizhen can explain it well.But Lu Buwei was afraid of offending her, so he pretended to understand and trust her.

It can be said that the skill of pretending to be a grandson has been carried out to the end.

But Zhao Weizhen was not angry, she even...admitted that she was flattered.

No matter how worried he is, he can still take care of Zhao Weizhen's emotions.Whether it is sincerity or interests, there is no choice.

Being able to hold back until this point makes her find it interesting.

The more he can bear it, the more Zhao Weizhen wonders what he will look like after he can't help it.

"Looking at the moment, Li Mu still can't accomplish anything."

He asked her, but she didn't say anything.

Zhao Weizhen twitched his lips and deliberately turned the topic to a more formal one: "But Zhao Guo will change, and Qin Guo will not be far away."

Lu Buwei immediately followed Zhao Weizhen's train of thought: "...What Weizhen said is..."

His eyes quickly glanced at Zhangtai Palace.

"Ah."

Not to mention that Zhao Weizhen knew history, even if he didn't, he could still tell it from Qin Wangji's actions.

If King Qin really wanted to promote Zhao Weizhen, he could take his time and wait a few years for Zhao Weizhen to accumulate enough prestige and achievements in Xianyang, and wait until her first batch of students finished their education before mentioning entering the court as an official , might be much easier.

Instead of just giving her a false name like now, she had to act in a lame play of "I don't care about feudalism".

In such a hurry, I am afraid that the Great Demon King himself will find that his body is failing.

Zhao Weizhen's tone sank: "If King Qin hadn't realized it himself, he wouldn't be in such a hurry."

Lu Buwei understood: "That's true, it's still Weizhen who is keen."

Zhao Weizhen: "You have to think carefully about how to take the next step."

In the next step, after the death of Qin Wangji, the son Chu is of course the current prince.

As Ying Zichu's husband, he had to plan carefully.

"Weizhen don't worry." Lu Buwei assured: "Buwei knows what's going on."

After chatting with each other, the two actually walked back to Lu Mansion directly.

As soon as you step into the threshold of the house, you can see people coming and going in the mansion, which is very lively.

This is caravans from all over the place, back again.

"Ma'am." Seeing her return, Wei Xing hurried forward, "The nearby caravan brought back some autumn harvest vegetables. They hurried, and the vegetables are still fresh."

After autumn comes winter.

This may be the last wave of fresh vegetables this year.

Hearing what Wei Xing said, Zhao Weizhen immediately picked up the corner of his clothes: "Let me have a look."

Wei Xing: "It's being sent to the backyard."

He raised his finger to the servants who were carrying things to the backyard. Zhao Weizhen took a closer look and saw that the number was really not small.

A lot of green leafy vegetables were just carried by someone to the backyard.If they are piled up, they can be piled up into a hill.

Zhao Weizhen immediately forgot all about court politics and coming and going.
