Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

093

At the same time, Xianyang City, Lu Mansion.

Li Si stepped into Xiangguo's mansion, and Wei Sheng, the steward, personally escorted him and took him to the backyard.

There is a tree standing in a corner of the quiet courtyard. It is slightly cold in autumn, and the leaves turn yellow.Under the yellow leaves, Lu Buwei was dressed in white, sitting behind the chessboard, somewhat like a celebrity.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Buwei raised his head.

"Li Qing." He said with a smile, and weighed the chess urn in his hand: "Let's talk about a game?"

Li Si: "Si's chess skills are not good, please ask Hai Han."

Lu Buwei laughed out loud: "If you are not good, you are not good. What else can you do if you lose?"

Li Si quickly twitched the corners of his mouth, lifted his clothes, and sat opposite Lu Buwei.

After choosing the pieces, Li Si took Bai's chess urn and said softly, "I've heard that Mr. likes to play chess."

Lu Buwei paused holding the hand of the chess piece: "Sir?"

Li Si: "If the address is inappropriate, I will apologize."

Lu Buwei shook his head.

"Li Qing is a teacher of Xunzi, and calling me Mr. is really a great compliment to Buwei." Lu Buwei said lightly, "You can call Li Qing if you want. As for playing chess, it's just a hobby."

As he spoke, his sunspots fell into the chessboard.

Li Si didn't dare to really relax.

He pondered for a while, Bai Zi followed.

"It is said that the chessboard is like the world," Li Si said, "It is understandable that those who control the world can play chess well."

Lu Buwei: "..."

If he had heard such compliments in the past, he might have gone in one ear and out the other.But ever since he saw Zhao Weizhen's chess skills... Lu Buwei's always perfect expression cracked for a moment.

"Really?" He said with a dry smile, "Let Xia Yangjun try with you some other day."

Li Si:?

He looked up from the chessboard and carefully observed Lu Buwei's expression.

With one sentence, Li Si's head turned several times. He really couldn't figure out why he would suddenly point out Xia Yangjun playing chess, so he could only speak cautiously: "...OK?"

Lu Buwei didn't know what Li Si was thinking.

After a few rounds, the two of them are enough to find out each other's details: they are both not bad people.

This made Lu Buwei let out a long sigh of satisfaction, and couldn't help sighing: "Playing chess is easy. To play chess, you only need to look at the chessboard and estimate the hearts of the competitors. It is said that it is a whole chessboard, but in fact, it is not just to keep an eye on one person and find out one person's heart." ? And to fight for the world, court officials, enemies, civil servants and military generals, and even... the people around you must be patient and guess, it is difficult."

Li Si was silent for a moment: "Mister seems to be troubled."

Lu Buwei: "How did Li Qing see it?"

Li Si: "But Xia Yangjun's problem?"

In connection with the context, it was Lu Buwei who took the initiative to mention Zhao Weizhen, and then lamented a long series of specious things. It is inevitable that Li Si would think so.

Lu Buwei waved his hand casually.

"I heard that after your Majesty returned to Xianyang, he shared weal and woe with you, and advanced and retreated together. This time, your Majesty's envoy to discuss peace is the second time that you and your Majesty parted." Li Si said.

His original intention was to ask Lu Buwei if he missed his wife.But Lu Buwei shook his head with a smile: "She went to Daliang, not just to discuss peace."

Li Si: "...Has Mr. Xia Yang made it clear?"

Lu Buwei: "No."

But he just knows.

It's just for twenty cities, so there's no need for Zhao Weizhen to go on an embassy in person. She likes to do one thing most, which can achieve multiple goals.

Li Si: "I hope you can give me your advice."

Lu Buwei restrained his thoughts, his vision stayed on the chessboard for a long time, and then he pinched the sunspots with his knuckle fingers, and made a decision on the next step.

"King Zhao () Dan is dead." Lu Buwei said: "Prince Yan will ascend the throne soon."

"Yes."

Li Si nodded: "The news just came."

Lu Buwei: "Today, the king asked me if I still remember Guo Kai from Zhao. I remember that the Handan nobleman was also a good friend of Prince Yan. When they were young, they often went to the same place and played with cats and dogs in the city."

Liston understood immediately.

He was the one who proposed the divorce plan, and now that Lu Buwei made a call, Li Si immediately followed his train of thought: "This person is available."

Lu Buwei: "You can send someone to send some gold and treasures to him, and tell him to praise General Le Cheng with Prince Yan."

Li Si: "This matter can also be released to Lord Xinling."

Lu Buwei nodded in satisfaction.

He raised his eyes and looked at the young man sitting opposite him, with a sly look in his bright eyes.

After Li Si's Bai Zi followed up, Lu Buwei praised: "No wonder Weizhen appreciates you."

Li Si hurriedly saluted: "Thanks to Your Majesty, Sir's great love."

Zhao Guo had the problem of changing generals before the battle early in the morning.It was precisely because Zhao Wangdan feared General Lianpo's prestige in the army and abruptly removed him from the battlefield in the past, which led to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Changping.

Zhao Wang () Dan is in awe of Lian Po's reputation, let alone Prince Yan.

He was already jealous and held grudges, not to mention that when Zhao Weizhen fled with the young Qin Wangzheng, it was General Lian Po who came to help him.

If it wasn't for Lian Po, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to come back at all.

After Prince Yan came to the throne, he must find a chance to get revenge.

At this time, bribing his close ministers and friends, slandering and persuading, and replacing General Lian Po for the second time can achieve the effect of separating the monarch and his ministers.

Then send the news to Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji has such a false name, he will inevitably invite General Lian Po to Daliang.At that time, I can also provoke the relationship between Lord Xinling and King Wei by the way.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Just do it."

While thinking about the chess game, Lu Buwei ordered: "Leave it to Li Qing to do it."

Li Si: "May I—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the backyard door.

"Miss, this is not acceptable."

"and many more!"

Chaotic shouts came along with the sound of footsteps. Li Si turned his head and saw two half-grown children who were born the same and went straight to the chessboard one after the other, hanging on Lu Buwei's body one after another.

Lu Buwei immediately pulled away from the chess game, stretched out two hands, one on the left and the other on the back, and embraced the two beautiful little girls into his arms: "Why come here at this time, shouldn't you take a nap?"

Li Si came to a sudden: "Mr. and the two daughters of the king... are really lively."

Lu Buwei laughed out loud.

It's just that when he laughed this time, there was a bit more sincerity in his voice.Even Li Si could sense the pride and pride of being a father in Lu Buwei's heart.

"All right."

The little girls barged in and interrupted his business talk, Lu Buwei was not angry, but patiently said: "Father, why did you teach you to salute when you see an elder. This is Li Si, the guest, and the king admires him very much." .”

Deyin and Wenyin: "Huh? Oh..."

Only then did the two little Doudings remember, they turned to Li Si neatly, and saluted in a childish voice: "I met Li Qing."

Li Si couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and saluted the two little girls seriously: "I've met the Miss Lu family."

Wen Yin stopped looking at Li Si, turned her head and hugged Lu Buwei's arm: "Father, when will Auntie come back?"

Deyin: "I miss Aunt."

Lu Buwei said softly, "Isn't it enough to have Father to accompany you?"

"not enough!"

Wen Yin curled her lips: "If you have a father, you want a mother!"

Deyin: "I want father and mother to accompany my sister and me."

After finishing speaking, Deyin's face collapsed, and she showed a sad expression again.

Lu Buwei understood exactly what she meant.Generally speaking, such an aggrieved expression is a sign that Deyin is about to cry, and it is a prelude to releasing skills.

The children were born delicate and immature, especially the eyes of the twins followed their father, bright and clear, with drooping eyes, like abandoned puppies.

On weekdays, Zhao Weizhen would hug and coax him, but Lu Buwei was different.

He tilted his head and said very seriously: "What did I say to Deyin?"

Deyin's expression froze immediately.

My father said that if she cries, my father will cry too. My father has a big voice, so everyone will take care of him first, not Deyin.

In addition to crying when they are sad, children also cry because they get attention.Deyin loves to cry, obviously the latter.

Now Lu Buwei's words broke her privilege of crying to gain attention, which made Deyin at a loss.

The three-year-old doll immediately stopped being wronged: "That, that's fine."

As soon as she closed her dog's eyes after speaking, it was like a hallucination that never existed just now.

Seeing the two little girls acting like a spoiled child, Li Si couldn't help laughing and said, "Who would have expected that the master would make all the noise in the court, but he would love his daughter so much at home."

Lu Buwei got up after hearing the words: "Has Li Qing ever married a wife?"

Li Si: "In the past, my family was poor, but I haven't. I'm afraid I will treat others badly."

Lu Buwei: "If you want, Buwei can be a matchmaker."

Li Si frowned.

The meaning of this sentence is not just as simple as a matchmaker.

In particular, Zhao Weizhen clearly used Li Si and Zheng Guo to beat Lu Buwei. He didn't hold grudges or get angry, but wanted to help Li Si find a wife with kindness.

One sentence is enough for Li Si to understand the real purpose of Prime Minister Qin's invitation today.

He helped find a wife, and it was naturally his man.

Lu Buwei was trying to bypass Zhao Weizhen and get back [-]% from Li Si.

but……

Li Si didn't mind.

Who wants to become a real enemy with the dignified Prime Minister of a country?

"Since this is the case, Si then agreed." He said, "Mr. Trouble is concerned with Your Majesty."

"No trouble."

Lu Buwei said kindly: "Please Li Qing to wait here for a while."

Speaking of which, he got up and picked up a daughter in one hand, a little helpless and showing off: "I'll arrange these two little girls first."

Li Si laughed dumbly: "Please, sir."

Lu Buwei coaxed and hugged them, and brought the two clingy spirits back to his room from the backyard, one at a time, and put them on the bed one by one.

Then the father sat down and looked at the two little girls.

"Talk to my father." Lu Buwei spoke earnestly, and said slowly: "What are you doing these days? You're getting clingy, do you just miss your mother?"

Deyin and Wenyin turned their heads to look at each other at the same time.

Now that the two little girls are three years old, they speak more clearly and their brains turn faster.

The little girls with similar looks looked at each other for a moment, and Deyin, who had a more sensitive personality, asked in a low voice, "Is Auntie angry with Father?"

Lu Buwei: "..."

He paused slightly.

"No." Lu Buwei said calmly, "It was my father who provoked my mother."

Wen Yin's eyes widened: "Why?"

On weekdays at home, Zhao Weizhen has always been one-sided and decisive in orders. Sometimes the two little girls feel that Amu has a very strong personality.

In contrast, Lu Buwei speaks softly and without haste, and is friendly with everyone. Although he doesn't pamper and pamper them, he never loses his temper.

Deyin and Wenyin really couldn't imagine how their father would provoke their mother.

Lu Buwei smiled again.

It's just that the gentle smile didn't enter the clear eyes as usual, even a three-year-old child could tell that he wasn't really smiling.

"I can't afford to lose." Lu Buwei said lightly.

…………

……

One month later, Daliang, the capital of the state of Wei.

After Zhao Wang died, Prince Zhao Yan came to the throne.The first thing he did after assuming the position was to send General Le Cheng to Wei, intending to replace General Lian Po.

In the Battle of Changping in the past, Lian Po was replaced by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Guo died and injured more than [-] in the first battle.

Changing generals again, coupled with the fact that Prince Yan and Lian Po didn't see eye to eye in the past, this time completely angered Lian Po, who is a warrior character.

The old general had a quarrel with Le Cheng, and in a fit of rage, he simply gave up his status as General Zhao, and defected to Wei State at the invitation of Lord Xinling, and came to Daliang.

Zhao Guo's attack on Wei ended hastily.

After Lian Po came to Daliang, he became more and more angry.

Even though King Wei and Lord Xinling treated each other with courtesy, Lian Po was originally from Zhao, and he devoted his life to Zhao Guo. He knew that Wei Guo would not use him, and thinking of how he ended up in such an absurd situation, he was really embarrassed. Can't swallow this breath.

Feeling frustrated, I wanted to find something else to do.

Living in a foreign country, Lian Po had nothing to do, so he had to come to the restaurant.

only--

He raised his wine vessel and raised his head to take a drink, but he almost didn't spit out the wine from his mouth.

From Fanyang to Daliang, Lian Po walked awkwardly and in a hurry, naturally he didn't bring many people around him.

Over the years, even if he drank alcohol, what he drank was the prescription that Zhao Weizhen personally copied to the old general.The clear soup in this restaurant in Daliang was too watery, it was really unpalatable.

It's really bad for people, and it's not smooth for drinking.

Old General Lian Po's expression became even uglier.

Seeing the old general's moody expression, the servants at the side couldn't help but say, "But the wine doesn't suit you?"

Lian Po: "Is this also called wine?!"

The servant was shocked: "This—"

The old general took a deep breath: "That's all."

He couldn't be angry with himself, and he didn't intend to vent his anger on civilians.Lian Po brewed for a long time, but he just let out a long sigh helplessly, and put the wine vessel back on the long table.

"It doesn't matter." He said that he was about to take out the money: "Pay the bill, it's not your fault."

In his words, there was a bit of abjection first.

However, General Lian Po hadn't had time to take out his purse, and a soft laugh came out of nowhere.

"—Since the wine is not satisfactory, it is of course the wine shop's fault."

Lian Po was taken aback by the familiar female voice.

The old general turned his head and saw a typical northern woman, dressed in Qin costume, walking into the inner room with a jar of wine.

That was Zhao Weizhen who hadn't seen him for many years.

"The treasurer personally came to apologize to the general."

Zhao Weizhen smiled and said: "I don't know if the old general is still used to my wine?"
