When Zhao Kuo returned home, he learned about Zhao Ji's visit from Yi.

Of course, Yi did not forget to complain to Zhao Kuo about Zhao Kang's rude words and deeds... At home, Zhao Kang was still very afraid of his father, and whenever Zhao Kuo raised his face, he knew that he should run to find his eldest mother. Zhao Kuo didn't care about Zhao Kang's bastard words, he was unscrupulous, Zhao Kang's current age didn't understand anything at all. Zhao Kang was also spared a beating because of this, and what Zhao Kuo cared more about was Zhao Zheng's attitude towards his biological mother.

It is never a good thing to treat the biological mother indifferently like this.

Even if Zhao Ji didn't raise him, he gave him life, even if Zhao Zheng didn't love her, he shouldn't be so rude, and he shouldn't treat her so coldly.

The father and son sat down, this was the first time Zhao Kuo had talked about this matter face-to-face with Zhao Zheng. In the past, Zhao Kuo has always avoided it, this is because Zhao Zheng is still young, and he is afraid that he will hurt him, but now Zhao Zheng can make judgments on various things and have his own opinions... He's grown up. Zhao Kuo's courtyard was relatively empty and there was no shade, so Zhao Kuo took matters into his own hands and built a "shade" with wood and bamboo curtains.

Zhao Kuo likes to sit here and read and rest.

"Politics... I have one thing I want to tell you. ”

Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Kuo seriously.

Zhao Kuo glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually... I... Well..... Zhao Ji, who is here today, is your mother. Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "Father, King Zhaoxiang told me about this matter before he died, and I already knew about it. ”

Zhao Zheng's strange calmness made Zhao Kuo a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to say at all, Zhao Kuo looked ahead, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, okay, you already know." ”

Zhao Kuo's heart is a little complicated, although Zhao Zheng is not his biological son, but he raised Zhao Zheng to grow up, in the past ten years, he completely regarded Zhao Zheng as his own son, even if Zhao Kang was born, it did not change this. And now, his son has grown up and knows the truth, Zhao Kuo is not only worried that such a truth will hurt the feelings of his father and son, but also worried that Zhao Zheng will leave him.

After all, he already knew who his father was and who his mother was.

Yi Fangcai told Zhao Kuo that Zhao Ji came to take Zhao Zheng away, and she wanted Zhao Zheng to move to the palace and officially become the son of Qin State, accompanying her biological parents. Zhao Kuo naturally knew that after this child ascended the throne, he had such a great deed, and he couldn't selfishly keep politics by his side, but he was also very reluctant to govern, and everyone in the family was reluctant to give up on him.

"Father? Is there anything else? ”

"Your mother said, Zhao Ji... Your mother has come looking for you? ”

"Hmm."

"Then why did she come to you?"

"Because she is afraid of falling out of favor, she wants to use me to consolidate her position by King Qin's side."

"This...", Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him in surprise, at this moment, he realized that his son had really grown up... Zhao Kuo smiled, and then said, "Forget it, you go and go about your own business." Zhao Zheng took the book and continued to read. Zhao Kuo stood up and saw Yi nervously standing at the door of the inner room looking here, so he walked to Yi's side.

"How did you get out? If you're pregnant, you shouldn't go out. ”

"What did you tell him?" , Yi looked a little eager.

"He already knew, he knew it a long time ago."

"And what if he's gone... What if he...", Yi covered his face, tears couldn't help falling, Zhao Kuo hurriedly grabbed her arm, "Don't think so... He's been eating more and more lately, and he can save some food if he leaves...", Yi couldn't help laughing when Zhao Kuo said, laughing while crying, he couldn't help twisting Zhao Kuo's waist, and said angrily: "You eat the most at home!" ”

"Hahaha... Okay, don't cry..", Zhao Kuo wiped away the tears on Yi's face, and was about to hug her, when he saw a small head poking out from among them, Zhao Kang raised his head high, looked at his parents curiously, and asked, "What happened??" ”

Although Zhao Ji was not able to take away Zhao Zheng, but King Qin took Cheng Chan, well, because King Qin was about to officially ascend the throne, Cheng Chan was going to become the feudal monarch of Qin, however, King Qin did not plan to give Zhao Zheng a title, which in the eyes of outsiders, there are two possibilities, the first is that King Qin does not want to recognize this son, and the second is that Zhao Zheng has been regarded as the successor, and the successor of King Qin obviously does not need to get any additional food.

The entire Qin State will belong to him.

The crown prince of each country basically has no title, unless the prince dies and chooses someone else to succeed him, such as An Guojun, in this case, the prince also has his own title, but after ascending the throne, his original title will be invalidated, and the food will be given up. King Qin's enthronement ceremony, compared to An Guojun, is much more spectacular, in the year of filial piety, Yiren repaired the palace, making the palace cover a larger area.

After King Qin ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to reward his ministers.

Since Lü Buwei began to reward them and give them titles, and his approach was not successful in winning over all the ministers, Han Fei was very angry, because he felt that the king could not reward the ministers for no reason, and should reward them accordingly according to their political achievements, and the king of Qin had just ascended the throne, what were the achievements of these ministers of the king of Qin during this time?

Han Fei is probably the most disgusting minister in the temple.

The ministers were reluctant to make friends with him, because Han Fei was too serious, and always emphasized some theories that were unfavorable to the ministers, he never made friends with other ministers, and even prevented the ministers from interacting with each other, he had no friends in the court at all, but the king of Qin respected him very much. King Qin raised his title again, listened carefully to his advice, and asked Han Fei to be by his side at all times, reminding himself and admonishing himself.

According to the law of Qin, rewards cannot be refused, so Han Fei accepted the reward of the king of Qin, but his advice became more and more.

This made Zhao Kuo very worried, he didn't want his disciple to bring him to death, fortunately, although the King of Qin is young today, he does not have the vigor of a young man, in the face of Han Fei's offense, the King of Qin is not angry, he accepts it humbly, and he also has complete trust in him... Zhao Kuo could only rejoice, fortunately, Han Fei was an official in the Qin State, if he was in another country, he was afraid that he would either be murdered by the ministers or killed by the king.

And the little guy Cheng Chan also got the title.... He became Chang'anjun.

Well, another Chang'anjun, I hope he can become a different Chang'anjun.

In this year, the ink makers made another breakthrough in papermaking technology, they used bamboo, to create excellent quality paper, this paper is not easy to damage, easy to carry, but the cost is still expensive, but this paper because of his convenience, quickly became a treasure in the hands of ministers. The contents recorded on the bamboo slips, which used to require several cars to move, are no longer so heavy on paper, and can be carried by only one person.

This is a great blessing for those who need to sort out their household registration, need to move documents around, and publicize the law, which allows them to get rid of heavy bamboo slips, but the people with low titles still can't afford to use such paper, and only the rich and noble can afford to use paper. The king of Qin immediately ordered that the state should control the manufacture and sale of paper, and imposed heavy taxes on paper, and forbade craftsmen to divulge the principles of paper.

Paper became a luxury in the Qin State, a symbol of identity and status, which Zhao Kuo did not expect.

Inside the royal palace.

The newly enthroned Qin King Yiren was looking at the documents sent from all over the place, which were recorded on paper, which of course also made it convenient for the king, Yiren looked at it seriously, Zhao Ji was behind him, gently kneading his shoulder. Zhao Guo sent Zhao Ji back to Qin State, but Yiren was not very excited, and even did not be too affectionate to this wife who had never seen each other in many ways, and behaved a little indifferent.

Even so, Zhao Ji never complained, nor was she angry with him, and she was tired of being by his side all day long.

"I went to see Masa'er... He was so happy that he threw himself into my arms and cried for a long time... Although Wu Chengjun and his wife are very good to him, they are not his biological parents after all...", Zhao Ji took advantage of the rest of the stranger and said.

Hearing her words, Yiren thought for a moment before he said: "He is by Wu Chengjun's side, which is also a good thing, Wu Chengjun is a rare sage in the world..."

"It's like this... That's why I left Zheng'er by his side and let him raise him... I'm just a lowly person, and I don't have any talents, so I can't teach him at all, besides, when you left Zhao Kingdom, he was just born... I had nowhere to go, I wanted to stay with him, but I was afraid that when he grew up, he would ask me about his father... Later, Wu Chengjun married a wife, if I continue to stay by Zheng's side, Zheng will definitely not be accepted by Wu Chengjun's wife..."

"So, I left him... Alone in Zhao Kingdom, I have been waiting for you to come back and pick me up, because this is what you promised me...", Zhao Ji said and couldn't help sobbing, she said: "I am very happy to see you again... To this day, I wake up in the night, just afraid that this is my dream, and I have had dreams like this many times. ”

Yiren was touched, stretched out his hand, and gently held Zhao Ji's hand.

"The widow knows that you have suffered... I have no choice, if I didn't leave Zhao State, we would all have to die in Zhao State, and after the widow returned to Zhao State, Qin State and Zhao State continued to fight, and the widow didn't dare to mention your affairs to others, for fear that Zhao people would take revenge on your mother and son..."

"When I was in Zhao State, I couldn't accompany my children, and now that I've returned to Qin State, why can't I still accompany my children?"

"Zheng is your son, you should take him to the palace... Let him know what it's like to be around his biological parents... My poor child has never seen his parents at the same time...", Zhao Ji cried.

Inhuman hesitated, but soon, he became firm, he shook his head, and said, "He's in the horse suit... In Wu Chengjun's mansion, which is not far from the palace, we can find a time to meet him, and if you miss him, you can also go to see him... Why take him again? He was by Wu Chengjun's side, and he could learn more things, and he himself liked to be there. ”

"The widow is busy with affairs, and he doesn't have time to teach him, so it's better for him to stay by Wu Chengjun's side." , King Qin said seriously, then said with a smile: "Wu Chengjun is very good to him, don't worry, the widow will continue to look at the recitals in various places...", he stopped this conversation, and continued to look at the documents from all over the place, Zhao Ji didn't dare to speak anymore, just continued to rub King Qin's shoulder, I don't know what he was thinking.

When King Qin was busy and was just about to walk out of the main hall, he saw a woman with a child walking over.

"Father!" , Cheng Chan screamed, rushed into King Qin's arms, King Qin happily picked him up, smiled at his mother, they chatted enthusiastically, and Zhao Ji stood behind them awkwardly, looking at their happy family of three, her heart was very uncomfortable, she looked at Cheng Chan's mother, Cheng Chan's mother was an honest and gentle person, hurriedly saluted Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji smiled and helped her up, and stretched out her hand to rub Cheng Chan's head.

"What a lovely child..."

Zhao Ji said with a smile.

.........

"You have to find a way to get Zheng back to the palace!"

"That slut dangles in front of me all day with her cub, she's demonstrating with me! The king is more and more fond of that little cub, I gave up my wealth in Zhao and came to Qin, but not to bow my head to that slut! Only when the government is here, I can have a status, and at that time, I can become the queen of Qin as the biological mother of the crown prince! And your position will be more secure! Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei in front of him and said with some eagerness.

Lu Buwei knelt in front of her, and the whole person was so calm. Zhao Ji was presented to the King of Qin by Lü Buwei, and the two were originally natural allies, so Zhao Ji did not hide his thoughts in the face of Lü Buwei.

"You're wrong... You shouldn't have said that the king would take Gongzizheng to the palace! Lu Buwei said with some seriousness: "The king loves Chang'an Jun again, but the position of this successor still belongs to Gongzizheng, not only because Gongzizheng is the eldest son, but also because of his relationship with Wu Chengjun, behind him, there are many people... Now you want Gongzizheng to take the initiative to leave Wu Chengjun? ”

"Besides, Gongzizheng regards Wu Chengjun as his biological father... You forced him to leave so much, do you really think he would be willing? He won't blame you for this? ”

"That.. So what should I do? ”

"You must serve the king well and gain the king's favor... As for Childe's Masa... You're going to win his favor too... Let him admit that you are the birth mother... In the future, if Gongzizheng succeeds to the throne, it is impossible for Wu Chengjun's wife to be the queen mother, and only you can be the queen mother... Wu Chengjun and his wife will not be a threat to you, nor will they be a threat to me... But..."

"But what?"

"The important thing is not the son, the important thing is the king, the king is strong... Maybe it's another King Zhaoxiang... Don't put your mind on Gongzizheng's body, but on the king's body, and get the king's favor, this is the most important thing, I probably won't see the day Gongzizheng ascends the throne... Although you are young, as long as you can get the favor of the king, then when Gongzizheng succeeds to the throne, you will not lose your current status. ”

ps: Brothers, it's not in a good state today, this chapter was supposed to write about Zhao Ji's conspiracy, but it turned out to be inappropriate, it doesn't make sense at all, you can't write a conflict for the sake of conflict, so I kept revising it, changed it many times, and I'm still not satisfied... Today, I'm going to reimagine the plot again, and the second chapter will be added tomorrow.
