Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

068

When Zhao Weizhen entered, the young master Qi seemed to have just arrived.

"Congratulations, Xiangguo."

He saluted politely to Lu Buwei who came out in a hurry: "The victory of the war, the military merits, so that there will be no doubts from the Qin court in the future."

Lu Buwei hurriedly grabbed Young Master Qi: "Young Master! Since you are here, why don't you let me know in advance?"

Young Master Qi smiled: "I'm afraid I said it in advance, and the Queen Mother knows about it, so I'm not happy."

After speaking, he looked at Zhao Weizhen with a solemn expression.

"I've already considered it." Young Master Qi said, "Since the Grand Tutor is willing to send Qi on a journey, Qi is willing to seize this opportunity."

Zhao Weizhen smiled unsurprisingly when he heard the words.

After more than a year of consideration, Young Master Qi finally accepted Zhao Weizhen's proposal.

He decided to go back to Chu to fight for the throne!

"I thought, if there is no news for a long time, the young master is not tempted." Zhao Weizhen said.

"I hesitated for a long time. It was my wife's pregnancy that made me make up my mind." Young Master Qi responded: "I want to make a good future for my offspring."

Zhao Weizhen knew this was the case.

The heirs of high-ranking officials in other countries are completely different from the princes and princesses of the royal family.What's more, Qin's non-royal titles have no inheritance rights. If the son Qi stays in Qin, his children must continue to accumulate merit and prestige before they can become officials and take power.

But if he returns to Chu State, it will be different.

In modern society, Xiong Qi is probably the type of father-to-be who is very introverted and active, and can work overtime for his children to obtain a first-tier city hukou.

As parents, it is inevitable that they are willing to work hard to create a higher starting point for their offspring.

May I ask what kind of expectation is more valuable than the eldest son of a country's heir.

"Young master is very courageous."

Lu Buwei said in admiration: "I am ashamed of myself. Since the young master has intentions, my wife and I are willing to plan for it."

Young Master Qi: "It's the Empress Dowager Huayang..."

Lu Buwei hooked his lips, showing a bit of sarcasm.In the past, he would never show such negative emotions on his face.

"Young master only needs to worry about the affairs of the state of Chu, leave Qin and the empress dowager to my wife and me." Lu Buwei promised: "Anyway, sooner or later we will tear ourselves apart. As long as the son is successful, we will still not be indifferent." Forget about Qin’s support, this will not affect the relationship between Qin and Chu.”

On the surface, what Lu Buwei meant was that when Young Master Qi took the throne of King Chu, the Empress Dowager Huayang, and even all the Chu people in Qin were not as important as him.

but--

Zhao Weizhen got a response, and son Qi got the promise, both parties were satisfied, the latter couldn't stay longer, said a few words hastily, and then went back home.

After Young Master Qi left, Zhao Weizhen looked at Lu Buwei again.

The promise just now has another meaning: Once she forms an alliance with Young Master Qi, the Empress Dowager Huayang will completely lose her value.

You can eat this useless pawn.

"It's not that easy." Zhao Weizhen cut straight to the point: "After all, the Empress Dowager Huayang is the nominal aunt of King Qin, so it's not good to confront her directly."

Lu Buwei raised his hand and rubbed against the side of his face as if unconsciously, the long sleeves indeed just covered most of his expression.

He said calmly: "You can start with Mr. Yangquan."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

"Impersonal grievances."

Even if Zhao Weizhen didn't speak, Lu Buwei guessed what she wanted to say.Only then did he raise his gentle and obedient smile in the past, and explained seriously: "I don't hold any grudges against Mr. Yangquan. I just thought that he would attack sooner or later. Before Buwei chose to go out immediately, it was precisely to avoid direct conflicts. Now Once the battle is won, the seal is sealed, and you have the basic money, you can no longer just sit around and let others do it first."

The words say so.

But in Xianyang, who doesn't know that if it wasn't for Lord Yangquan, Lu Buwei would never have had the chance to meet Mrs. Huayang in the past, and Ying Zichu would not have the qualifications to sit in the position of King Qin at all?

He kept saying that it was not a personal grievance, and he did not hold a grudge.

But there are thousands of ways to deal with the Chu people, and Lu Buwei just bluntly said that he wanted to trouble Mr. Yangquan.

I am afraid that on the way back to Qin from Han, he had already thought of a way, and he said he would not hold grudges?

"Lu Xiangguo." Zhao Weizhen teased: "Once he gains power, he immediately turns his back on him. What a villain."

Lu Buwei didn't care at all.

He even tilted his head pretending to be blank: "Bu Wei is a cheap businessman, and he is a villain. If it wasn't for the moment of turning around, what would I have endured for so long?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Can you don't worry about her, just come here?

Lu Buwei was still the same Lu Buwei, wearing a black dark suit and a simple jade crown on his head.No matter how he behaves and thinks in private, on the surface, even if he is an official to the prime minister, his attire still looks a little plain.Looking at it this way, he is a gentleman with a beautiful scenery and a beautiful tree facing the wind.

But he was never a bad-tempered businessman, Lu Buwei just hoped that others would think so.

Now that he has got the seal and Feng Wenxinhou, this gamble has paid off in line with expectations. The beast hidden under the skin of this beautiful man is more or less unscrupulous in poking his head out in the daytime, revealing his true colors .

"Lu Buwei." Zhao Weizhen lowered his voice, "Don't forget who gave you your power."

Her words landed softly, and the spacious and exquisite front yard fell into silence.

Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Weizhen, as if he was considering the meaning of her sentence.

After a while, he responded, "It's definitely not from Chu."

Zhao Weizhen: "That's right, it's King Qin."

Lu Buwei shuddered slightly.

He probably understood what Zhao Weizhen meant, and lowered his head: "...I am also clearing the way for the king."

Ah.

Maybe Lu Buwei really thinks so—he and Qin Prince Chu are indeed monarchs and ministers with similar thinking and the same purpose.We have shared joys and sorrows, and it is false to say that there is no true relationship.

But after killing Zhao Weizhen, she will not forget Lu Buwei's fate in history.

This person swells up, it is truly boundless!She cursed in her heart.

In all fairness, Zhao Weizhen really doesn't think Qin Shihuang recorded in the history books is a suspicious emperor.Xiao Yingzheng is sharp-minded, restrained and cautious, but he is also conceited and conceited.

Such conceit comes from absolute strength.

For example, Li Si and Zhao Gao, which one is not crackling with his own abacus?But no matter how ulterior motives, doing things for the First Emperor, is honest.Ying Zheng is confident and capable enough to use the "bad guy" as a sharp knife, ensuring that the tip of the knife is aimed at the enemy, not himself.

It can be said that he is a big boss who knows how to know people and make good use of them.

So the future Lu Buwei is really too rampant.

He threatened the royal power, but did not provide a matching use, so there was no reason for him to be tolerated in the eyes of the first emperor.Then you can stay where you are cool.

Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Buwei has just gained power, Zhao Weizhen doesn't mind pouring a few more pots of cold water on him to wake him up.

"You don't have to convince me."

So she said coolly: "It's good that I know the traditions of Qin's past dynasties."

Lu Buwei was taken aback: "What does Wei Zhen mean?"

"Once the mill animals have finished their work and are completely worthless, they will be removed from the mill and slaughtered directly." Zhao Weizhen said coldly: "Shang Yang reformed the law for Xiaogong, and appointed officials and nobles. It's not good, but wait for Xiaogong." After his death, King Wen succeeded to the throne, and ended up in a mess. In the same way, Zhang Yi put down his face and personality for Qin Ke. Without the protection of King Wen, King Wu left after he succeeded. As for King Zhao, he couldn't wait for a replacement. It has always been that when people run out, they are either killed or driven away."

At the end, Zhao Weizhen looked directly into Lu Buwei's eyes: "How much use value can you provide for the King of Qin and the future King of Qin? As a businessman, you should understand that there is not enough profit. You, but what about his son? Lu Buwei, you should think about your family instead of yourself."

What I said earlier is not polite.

But when he heard that the last point was the word "family", Lu Buwei's gradually serious expression suddenly eased.

Even the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed a little more real.

"Is Weizhen worried about me?" Lu Buwei asked.

"I'm worried that you'll cause trouble." Zhao Weizhen said, "It's the Prime Minister, so do what the Prime Minister should do."

"Na Weizhen is just worried about me."

There was a layer of undisguised joy between his brows and eyes.Lu Buwei took a few steps ahead, closing the distance with Zhao Weizhen: "Xie Weizhen made a point, and Buwei will definitely think about it carefully when he looks back."

Zhao Weizhen: "Are you so happy?"

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "Weizhen regards me as a family member, and he is good at admonishing me. How can Buwei be unhappy?"

As he spoke, he took Zhao Weizhen's hand.

"It's more joyful than conferring an official title and gaining the trust of the monarch."

How should I put it, Lu Buwei is good-looking, with gentle facial features, and a smile on his fair skin, and his voice is clear and affectionate when he speaks, saying such beautiful words, even if they don't enter Zhao Weizhen's heart, are still pleasing to her.

Who doesn't like to look more at handsome guys with seductive eyes.

This handsome guy is still his cheap husband, so it is reasonable and legal to take a few more glances.

"What do you mean by that?"

Feeling happy in his heart, Zhao Weizhen refused to say anything, and said relentlessly, "Didn't I treat you like a family member before?"

Lu Buwei quickly waved his hands: "Buwei doesn't mean that!"

Zhao Weizhen: "If I don't treat you as family, I just kick you, what am I doing in Xianyang?"

Lu Buwei: "Weizhen!"

Knowing that she is not an unreasonable person and that these words are completely joking, Lu Buwei still made an anxious gesture.

He held Zhao Weizhen's hand tightly as well.

"What Weizhen did, Buwei will always remember it in his heart." He lowered his voice. Now that you are the prime minister, you have to have the final say at home, you can't be the only one in the family, you have to have more heirs."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Lu Buwei hurriedly said: "Buwei has shirked it, Wei Zhen can rest assured."

At the end, he went back to Mr. Yangquan.He even found some private rationale for dealing with him: He disrupted the harmony of our family, can you bear it?

Send him concubine Ji, Zhao Weizhen is not surprised.

Before he acted like a mother-in-law who dared not speak much, everyone accepted it because Lu Buwei was just a businessman at that time, and Zhao Weizhen contributed two blueprints to Qin Guojin.

It seems that "women are strong and men are weak", so no one will say anything about it.

But now, he is the Prime Minister, and the Marquis of Wenxin. Someone will definitely ignore Lu Buwei's words of rejecting King Xianzhao back then, and use this method to curry favor with him.

Zhao Weizhen didn't really care much.

He can take it, can't she?

There are not a few people who are officials in the same dynasty who want to please Zhao Weizhen.No one calls her an actress or concubine because she is a woman.Even so, if Zhao Weizhen shows any interest in this aspect, she believes that many people will dare to take risks.

Lu Buwei would not do such a stupid thing.

In his eyes, matters in this area are far less important than interests.

and……

Others put their beaks on it because Zhao Weizhen and Lu Buwei had been married for many years and had never had any children.

Zhao Weizhen is quite optimistic in this regard.

"Other women can give birth to heirs." Zhao Weizhen sneered, "Can't I?"

Real conditions do not allow Zhao Weizhen not to be optimistic.

Just like now, if Lu Buwei had no offspring, how many people would covet the position of "son of Marquis Wenxin".In this regard, not only Zhao Weizhen will receive slights, but also Lu Buwei.

Having no heirs means that you are not a family, and you do not really have a foothold in Qin.

Furthermore, the birth of an heir also means the consolidation of the alliance.

Zhao Weizhen told Yingzheng about the topic of marriage and childbirth, which is not only applicable to the royal family.

Blood relationship has always been the closest alliance, and if there is no blood relationship between husband and wife, the best way is to create blood relationship.

This is a double-edged sword that can be used properly and can be profitable.

At least, Zhao Weizhen needs to "tie up" Lu Buwei.

The pre-Qin era was no different than modern times, and it was far more than a simple couple struggling for their own careers.Zhao Weizhen knew very well that it was impossible for her to leave Xiao Yingzheng and stand in line with other people, while Lu Buwei might threaten the royal power.

If you don't restrain him, sooner or later the couple will turn against each other.

The most direct way is to have a blood-linked heir.

In this way, the interests of the two tend to be consistent, and then Lu Buwei will have to weigh up whether to take the road of power ministers to gain a firm foothold in Qin, or to take the road of royal power to better shade future generations.

"That……"

Lu Buwei didn't feel that Zhao Weizhen was mocking him.

When he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he moved a little closer: "Weizhen is just Weizhen. Looking at the Central Plains, there are thousands of women from all over the world, and there is only one Weizhen. With you by my side, no one in Weizhen's eyes How can you let other women in?"

Sour words will be avoided!

Zhao Weizhen has always been unfazed by this. She just thought about it and returned to the topic: "If you want to deal with Mr. Yangquan, it's better not to do it directly."

Sending away son Qi, the power of Chu State in the Qin court will be less than half in the future.

For the rest, Zhao Weizhen still wanted to work hard, and when Yu Zichu was in power, he could pave the way for Xiao Yingzheng.

Don't talk about hidden dangers, at least you can't talk about it and give the Empress Dowager Huayang a chance to find fault.

Lu Buwei understood: "Don't worry Weizhen, Buwei is not so arrogant."

Zhao Weizhen: "Is there a way?"

Lu Buwei: "I will set up the game, but I have to ask the king to come forward."
