Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

062

A few days later, in Huayang Palace.

When Mr. Yangquan approached Mrs. Huayang, the latter just put down the business in hand, and said angrily: "Just for the position of a shabby Xiangguo, are you going to finish?"

"Sister, what is a tattered Xiangguo!"

Mr. Yangquan, who was still smiling at first, suddenly revealed his true face in front of his relatives, and he wanted to play a rascal and said: "You can ask the whole world, in which country and which courtiers, the seat of a country's prime minister can be described as shabby. !"

Mrs. Huayang was completely unmoved, she reprimanded: "Even so, you run to me every three days, do you pretend that others don't know what you are thinking?"

Mr. Yangquan: "I'm here to find my own sister, who can tell me?"

One mouthful and one sister, even though Mrs. Huayang is annoyed by Mr. Yangquan's endless talk, her complexion looks better after all.

Seeing Mrs. Huayang's expression softened, Mr. Yangquan took the opportunity to come forward.

"Lu Buwei has been appointed as the Grand Tutor." He said, "How come the monarch...hasn't appointed a prime minister?"

The understatement of the word "monarch" made Mrs. Huayang's heart move.

She had waited for so long for the day when An Guojun became the king.

For this day, Mrs. Huayang has waited for most of her life.

Mr. Yangquan's words cleverly flattered Mrs. Huayang, but she still had a stern expression on her face.

"What nonsense!"

Mrs. Hua Yang said: "Mr. An has not officially ascended the throne, so you can't shout about it. Why are you so anxious to get angry? It's not too late to talk about everything after your husband becomes the king."

Lord Yangquan heard the words and couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid that Lord An still doesn't want me to be the prime minister."

Mrs. Huayang: "If it's not you, who else could it be?"

Lord Yangquan raised his eyes: "Sister, you don't understand why King Xianzhao gave Mrs. Meng Wei the Commandment Sword?"

Mrs. Huayang's expression immediately fell.

"Don't mention it!" she said angrily.

How can you not understand?

It is said that the Commandment Sword was made by King Xianzhao who ordered craftsmen to forge it less than a year after he took the throne.Its name is Jie, just to spur him to unify the six countries as soon as possible and complete the great cause of Qin.

Such an important saber, it would be better not to give it to his son, but it happened to be given to a woman.

She was also a woman who was personally allowed by King Xianzhao to enter the court.

The key is that the blind can see it.

——This sword was used by King Xianzhao to urge Mr. An.If you dare to let your wife and family around you run rampant in the Qin court, then this sword will never belong to you.

Where is the sword given to Mrs. Meng Wei? It is clearly a sword hanging over the heads of the Chu people.

Thinking of the commandment sword, and recalling the little quarrel with Mrs. Meng Wei before, Mrs. Huayang immediately became angry.

No, she can't gamble.

Mr. Yangquan's worry is justified, Mrs. Huayang thought, the position of Xiangguo is uncertain for a day, and the status of Chu people in Qin State will not be guaranteed for a day.When King Zhao was still there, they endured it for so many years, and they could no longer endure it like this.

"Be smart about yourself."

Mrs. Huayang said coldly: "What's the use of running to my place all the time? Once or twice is fine. If you come too much, it will be annoying. Why don't you take some money and assets yourself and go to the servants' place to get support."

Mr. Yangquan's eyes lit up: "Sister, do you mean you agree to speak for me?"

Mrs. Huayang: "How can I abandon you?!"

At the end, she said as if she suddenly remembered something: "Young Master Qi, how old is this year?"

Mr. Yangquan was taken aback.

The son Qi mentioned is the son of the current King Wan of Chu.

King Wan of Chu back then was just a son of the Qin Dynasty.He mentioned repeatedly that he wanted to return to the country, but King Xianzhao never allowed it.With the help of Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, the son Wan escaped from Qin and returned to Chu to inherit the throne.

And when he fled from Qin, like Ying Zichu, he left his young son, Gongzi Qi, in Xianyang.

"Back to Sister." Yangquan Jun made some calculations and said, "Young Master Qi is 20 years old this year."

"It's about to be the year of the crown, can we make an appointment?" Mrs. Huayang asked.

"Never heard of it."

"it is good."

Mrs. Hua Yang nodded in satisfaction: "Bring Mr. Qi over to have a look at another day, it's time to make an engagement."

…………

……

The next day, Lu Mansion.

Zhao Weizhen found Lu Buwei in the backyard.

There was a chessboard in front of him, and he was weighing a palm-sized chess urn in his hand.Lu Buwei was dressed in a dark black dress, with a white piece turning back and forth between his slender fingers. Sitting in the yard in spring, his dark sleeves fluttered in the breeze amidst the flowers and brocades, like a gentleman in a poem.

"Weizhen."

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Buwei turned his head, his clear eyes slightly curved.He raised the chess urn slightly: "Let's talk about a game?"

Zhao Weizhen happily stepped forward and sat on the other side of the chessboard.

Lu Buwei didn't give Zhao Weizhen a choice, and directly pushed the chess urn containing sunspots in front of her.

"Wei Zhen first please." He humbly said.

Zhao Weizhen was not polite to him either.

She took out a sunspot from the chess urn and placed it in the center of the chessboard.

Lu Buwei: "..."

His eyes stayed on Heizi for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

The chess piece fell with a crisp sound.Zhao Weizhen quickly glanced at Wei Sheng who was behind Lu Buwei, the steward was busy with dust, and the mud under his feet hadn't been wiped clean, obviously he just came back.

"But something?" she asked.

"It's nothing."

Lu Buwei stared at the chessboard and said enthusiastically, "This is the first time I have played chess with Weizhen."

Zhao Weizhen: "My level is very poor."

"Weizhen is being modest." Lu Buwei's Bai Zi fell down, and then continued: "Recently, Mr. Yangquan has been walking around outside, and he is very active. But all the people he can take care of, he will visit them one by one, for fear that others will not know what he is thinking. "

Zhao Weizhen laughed out loud.

Only then did Lu Buwei look away from the chessboard.He touched Zhao Weizhen's smile and tilted his head slightly.

"Aren't you worried?" Lu Buwei asked.

Zhao Weizhen's Heizi followed closely.

After a few rounds, Lu Buwei held the chess urn in his hand, and his body suddenly fell back.

A look of surprise flashed across the young man's face, his eyes flickered, and after a moment he said restrainedly: "Weizhen's chess moves... are really extraordinary."

Zhao Weizhen was unmoved: "What are you worried about?"

Lu Buwei thought for a long time, and finally made a cautious move.

His eyes were on the chessboard, as if the conversation between the two of them was nothing more than the unhealthy chitchat between husband and wife.

"This is for the Empress Dowager Xuan and Ranghou." Lu Buwei sighed.

The light words fell to the ground, but they were even more deafening than the back and forth on the chessboard.

Fortunately, he was in the Lu Mansion, otherwise, if he said this, either Lu Buwei would cause trouble, or Lord Yangquan would be in great trouble.

In the past, when King Xianzhao came to the throne, for a long time, his mother, Queen Mother Xuan, and uncle Ranghou always controlled the government.King Zhao Yingji had been in the same line as his mother's clan for decades before he was able to suppress a force from Chu State that threatened the royal power.

Before time travel, Zhao Weizhen had watched countless film and television dramas and even novels with the Empress Dowager Xuan as the "big heroine".

As for the actual situation?

People have been gone for decades, and Zhao Weizhen doesn't know exactly what happened back then.

But she knew that the real threat to the kingship was definitely not the mistress who fought for the top position by herself in the film and television drama, but the support of the Chu state forces behind the queen mother.

"Exaggerated."

However, Zhao Weizhen disagreed with Lu Buwei's words.

According to historical records, Ranghou Wei Ran himself was a famous general, and he contributed to Qin's several large-scale battles against Wei and Zhao.Even the famous Wu An Jun Bai Qi was recommended and promoted by Rang Hou.

Comparing Yangquan Lord with Ranghou, in Zhao Weizhen's view, it is Yangquan Lord who is touching porcelain.

"Ranghou has made great achievements in battle, what does Lord Yangquan have?" Zhao Weizhen mocked.

"He has the next generation of Chu people." Lu Buwei replied lightly.

Zhao Weizhen looked up in surprise.

At this point in the game, Lu Buwei withdrew from his contemplation on the chessboard.He put down the chess urn in his hand, and chose to look seriously at Zhao Weizhen.

"Wei Sheng." Lu Buwei said, "Why don't you tell Madam, what did you find out today?"

Wei Sheng behind Lu Buwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Sheng stood behind Lu Buwei, he could clearly see the coming and going of the two of them.He really used all his strength to hold his expression.

What does it mean that Madam's chess moves are "extraordinary", she is clearly a stinky chess player, okay?It's only taken a few steps, how can you play chess like this? !

Everyone said that those who know how to play politics are well versed in the way of the game, Wei Sheng only realized today that he was wrong.

If this chess game continues, Wei Sheng doesn't know whether he can win or lose, but he knows that he will collapse.

Wei Sheng admired the master for being able to hold his nerve and maintain a good demeanor in front of this kind of chess game, and even interact with his wife in the game.

Of course, he can't wait for his wife who can play Go like this.

Just like this, she dared to sit in front of the chessboard and make moves. As expected of the person who snatched Gong Zizheng from Handan, her courage is different!

"recent……"

Wei Sheng coughed a few times, maintaining his mentality: "Mrs. Huayang is planning a lifelong event for the young master."

Zhao Weizhen: "Master Qi?"

She was not interested in playing chess, and when she heard some unfamiliar names, Zhao Weizhen simply put down the chess game in front of her.

Lu Buwei silently put the chess pieces back into the chess urn one by one.

"The concubine son of King Chu who stayed in Xianyang in the past." He responded calmly: "Now it seems that the situation of Gongzi Qi is very different from that of Gongzizheng in Handan. The difference is that he does not have Weizhen behind him as protection and support."

In the same situation as Xiao Yingzheng, the concubine of King Chu who stayed in Xianyang...

Zhao Weizhen thought about it for a long time, searched from the historical records to the memory of the original body, and finally realized it suddenly.

Young Master Qi, isn't that Lord Changping!

It is the last king of Chu who put down the chaos of Lai Ai in the future, served as Prime Minister of Qin, led the Chu army to rebel against Qin, and was supported by the generals as king!

From Wei Sheng's words, it is estimated that he is about the same age as him now, in his twenties.

"Mrs. Huayang is very smart."

Lu Buwei said lightly: "She has found the next generation of successors for the Chu people who stayed in Qin."

Gee.

It has to be said that although Lu Buwei is a fake person, his vision is never wrong.

Zhao Weizhen comes from the future and knows that Mr. Changping is not a good stubble, but Lu Buwei has no prophetic ability.

He only detected the meaning behind Mrs. Huayang's actions by virtue of his political acumen.

"The former king gave Weizhen the Commandment Sword, nominally to value Weizhen, but in fact it was to beat An Guojun." Lu Buwei talked eloquently: "It is a good warning to him not to reuse Chu people and repeat the mistakes of the Qin court in the past."

"Besides, Mrs. Huayang also knows who her younger brother is." Zhao Weizhen added.

Lu Buwei laughed.

After he put down the chess urn, he simply put his elbows on the chessboard, leaned forward, and shortened the distance with Zhao Weizhen.

Such a posture swept away the gentleman's demeanor.Lu Buwei took the initiative to lower his gaze, even a little like acting like a baby with Zhao Weizhen.

"I think Mr. Yangquan is good." Lu Buwei retorted seriously: "If it wasn't for him, how could I send Mr. Zi Chu to Mrs. Huayang?"

"Smells like each other." Zhao Weizhen snorted coldly.

"Isn't it okay to say that it's hard to meet a confidant?"

Lu Buwei couldn't laugh or cry.After the teasing, he calmed down slightly: "So, if Mr. Yangquan really can't be the prime minister, Mrs. Huayang has to make preparations later."

"If this generation fails, the next generation will." Zhao Weizhen said.

"Anyway, Young Master Qi is very young." Lu Buwei nodded.

Zhao Weizhen's heart sank.

The most frightening thing is that Lu Buwei was right.

Mr. Yangquan is too useless, in order to reserve one hand as a backup plan, Mrs. Huayang decided to promote son Qi.When the future Lord Changping becomes the minister of the Qin court, the power of the Chu people in Qin will naturally be preserved.

He even predicted history accurately: It is very difficult for Mr. Yangquan to get his wish and sit on the position of prime minister.

As Lu Buwei said, even if An Guojun lived for a few more years, he would not let the Chu faction power grow stronger in the Qin court, let alone he didn't have many days to live.

Yingzi Chu was able to become the prince by relying on the Chu people to ascend to the throne.Because of this, he can't rely on Chu people, otherwise he will become a useless puppet.

Zhao Weizhen thought that in history, Ying Zichu gave Lu Buwei a chancellorship, and the reason was not entirely because of his kindness to Ying Zichu.

Afterwards, Mr. Changping really followed Mrs. Huayang's expectations and took control of the real power in Qin State, and later caused a lot of trouble.

Until Yingzheng became the king of Qin, he was also constrained by the Chu people in the early stage.After he completely cleared the government, he was able to conquer the six countries.

It took less time to unify the world than to toss Qin's internal affairs.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weizhen felt subtly upset.

Among them, Lu Buwei also caused a lot of trouble. Although he did some things, calling him a troublemaker is definitely not belittling him.

Success is also Lu Buwei, and defeat is also Lu Buwei.

"It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Zhao Weizhen said: "The longer the delay, the more favorable the other party will be."

She didn't say what the "problem" was, but Lu Buwei knew it well.

"You must be in front of Lord Yangquan to sit in front of the Xiangguo position." Lu Buwei said: "Otherwise he has real power, even if you have the commandment sword, it will not be easy to use."

"Mr. Yangquan is nothing to be afraid of." Zhao Weizhen sneered.

Compared with Mr. Yangquan, she felt that the future son Qi was more difficult.

There is one thing that Lu Buwei's thinking is right: you have to do it before the other party has real power.

Chu State...

"Can you send Young Master Qi back?" Zhao Weizhen asked suddenly.

"Send it back?"

"What does Weizhen mean...?" Lu Buwei was taken aback for a moment.

"When I was in Qi State, I heard some rumors about Chu State." Zhao Weizhen meant something: "It is said that the current Crown Prince Han of Chu State may not be the son of the King of Chu."

Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Weizhen for a moment, and then raised a gentle smile.

His reaction was as if Zhao Weizhen had said some nice love words to himself.

"I have also heard what Weizhen said." Lu Buwei continued: "The business spies who came back from Chu State said that when Lord Chunshen gave the Queen's Ring to the King of Chu, he had a close relationship with him."

The implication is that Lord Chunshen had an affair with the current queen, the prince may be Lord Chunshen's flesh and blood, and the king of Chu is just a cuckold who took advantage of him.

"It's just a rumor."

Lu Buwei said in a serious manner: "There is no evidence, how can you take it seriously?"

"Whether Prince Han is the son of the King of Chu, I don't know. But I know that the son Qi must be the son of the King of Chu." Zhao Weizhen said, "It depends on the people of Chu, whether they want the son of Lord Chunshen to do it." The king is still the son of the king of Chu."

"Oh?"

Lu Buwei put on an appearance that he just understood: "It turns out that Weizhen wants to use Chu to control Chu."

It doesn't need to be that exaggerated.

Zhao Weizhen's thinking is simple: why wait for Lord Changping to grow in Xianyang?

Madam Huayang wants to promote him to be an important minister of Qin, so I'll just send him back.

You Chu people can choose a suitable son of Qin to be the prince, and then Qin can also support the son of Chu to compete with the prince with "unknown biological father" for the position of king.

May I ask whether the status of the prime minister of Qin is important, or the status of the prince of Chu is more important?

If it succeeds, the Qin State will benefit; if it fails, the troubled water will be disturbed, and the son Qi will fail and die, and the Qin State will not lose.

The worst thing is that Mr. Changping successfully became the king of Chu and got rid of Qin's restraint—and then, like in history, waited for Qin to fight.

"How?" She looked at Lu Buwei.

"It's not impossible."

Lu Buwei said happily: "Create trouble for Mrs. Huayang, can it still be harmful to you and me?"

Give it a go, the bike turns into a motorcycle.

Zhao Weizhen said: "Then give it a try."

Lu Buwei said with emotion: "The caravan staying in Chu State is useful. As for Young Master Qi..."

Zhao Weizhen pursed his lips.

"It just so happens that the restaurant has developed several new dishes."

She said with a smile: "Young Master Qi, come and have a taste?"
