Chapter 52: The King's Command

"The edict of the king of Qin, from the Zhao family, because of the theory of entering the cycle, entering the emptiness of the five senses, increasing the fief by 100 acres, and rewarding the lord to rejuvenate the country." The eunuch's sharp voice spread to every corner of the Zhao Mansion, and the people of the Zhao Mansion cheered excitedly, and the old lady Wei also showed a look of joy on her face, but Zhao Qi, who was kneeling on the ground to receive the order, frowned tightly, and there were eight hundred unwillingness written on his face.

After a long time, Zhao Qi made a move, and the queen was impatient, so she raised her leg and kicked the stinky boy's ass, and snorted coldly: "Why are you so ignorant, although the court has many affairs, but it is a real high-class official, and everyone else can't ask for it, why did you abandon it like a broom when you came here?"

"Commandment." Zhao Qi reluctantly took the edict from the eunuch. To tell the truth, he doesn't want to be this Sikong, the people in the Warring States period pay the least attention to business and civil engineering and water conservancy construction, but Sikong is precisely in charge of these trivial matters, not to mention the hard work all day long, and is not valued by others, and does some thankless work, Zhao Qi, a lazy and accustomed person, is naturally not happy to be this official, and wants him to say, it is better to be a Sikou, and solve cases all day long.

King Qin's edict is not the most attractive to Zhao Qi, he values the title of this Xingguozi more, although the title is not promoted, but the title is directly promoted from the son of the country, you must know that at this time, if there is a national character in the name, it means that this position is stable, and there is no big mistake and will not take off the title, which also shows that now Zhao Qi's fate is completely linked to the fate of Daqin, Daqin Xing, Zhao Qifu, Daqin declined, and Zhao Qi died.

The queen will not consider these complicated contents, although she feels that it is a bit too much to give Zhao Qi, a minor, such a rich reward, but she also feels that the king has his own reasons for doing this, although the bad old man of Yingzhu is a little colorful, there is still a decision that should be made.

It's a pity that everyone around thinks it's a good thing that Zhao Qi has won the reward, and they are all happy for him, but Zhao Qi himself has a bitter face.

"Tell me about this palace, what is your kid thinking in his head all day long? Such an opportunity to fulfill one's responsibilities for the country is scrambled by others to rush up, you are good, such a big opportunity has a straight face, don't you feel that you are restricted? Can't live a loaf life? Mrs. Huayang's tea addiction is getting heavier and heavier, and she still has to take two sips when she arrives at Zhao's mansion, Feng Yan glanced at Zhao Qi, and continued, "I see that you have almost forgotten the etiquette I taught you earlier, don't you want to follow me into the palace for a few more days?" ”

Hearing that he was going to learn etiquette again, the expression on Zhao Qi's face immediately melted, and he said with a smile: "Niangniang blames the boy, the kid is not lazy, but this commonplace job is in charge of the people's livelihood, and he has been observing the people's situation outside for many years, and after he comes back, he is also reporting in the court.

I have to say that Zhao Qi's broken mouth is still quite able to speak, and he pushed his laziness all away, and transferred it to private chat with relatives, and suddenly became a good boy who values love and righteousness, which made everyone present sigh.

"Alas!" Mrs. Huayang sighed and said, "This palace also knows that you are still young, and you should not be driven so tightly, but the king's order is difficult to disobey, and now although the domestic situation is stable, the border passes are constantly frictional, Qin and Zhao's border army is tempted every day, and there will eventually be a war, and now only by rejuvenating the country and strengthening the army, can we ensure that my Great Qin country is rich and strong, and the construction of Great Qin is imminent, I only hope you can understand the stakes, you are the child of the Zhao family, and you are also the child of Great Qin, this palace loves you very much, and I don't want you to bother to work hard, but the times do not allow it, I hope you can understand the intentions of the king and the main palace. ”

The queen is the queen, the people around her were silent, Hong Sanbao's blood was boiling and she couldn't wait to devote herself to serving the country immediately, the old lady also shook her head again and again, and only after a long time did she breathe a sigh of relief, walked forward and touched Zhao Qi's head and said: "A good man is determined to be in the world, the old woman has seen short money, I don't know that the situation at the border is grim, you and I are the people of Daqin, and it is appropriate to pay some energy for Daqin, get up, you can rest assured to go, there is your brother and a few old people watching at home, and nothing will happen."

"The child knows." Zhao Qi knelt down on one knee and saluted the old lady, he really admired the old lady Wei, he couldn't imagine how strong this woman was in her heart, the insight of the women of the Warring States period was very short-sighted, like such a big picture, it is estimated that in addition to the queen mother, there is also the old lady Wei Lan.

To be honest, Zhao Qi is still a little worried if he takes office like this, although the construction of Zhao's mansion has reached a certain scale, but there are only a few veterans in the family. Now that he had offended an Assassin group, he didn't dare to guarantee that these old men would be able to keep his family safe, and that he had to make some other arrangements.

"Niangniang, there are some things that the minister needs to discuss with Niangniang alone, can you take a step to speak?" Zhao Qi bowed to Huayang, he knew that if he wanted Huayang to send someone to protect Daqin, he had to let her know the meaning of doing so, and some of these words were inconvenient for others to know, and the family would cause panic if they knew, and he couldn't believe the eunuchs.

Huayang glanced at Zhao Qi suspiciously, or waved his hand to let the accompanying eunuchs and palace maids retreat, Mrs. Wei knew that Zhao Qi had something important to say, so she said goodbye to Huayang knowingly: "The old woman is in poor health, it is not suitable to sit for a long time, so let's go down and rest first, just let the mother have something to tell you to get up."

Huayang nodded and said, "What did the old lady say, you go down to rest first, and I'll go over to see you after the palace and Qi'er have finished talking." With the queen's approval, Mrs. Wei also left with the Bai Zhong brothers and sisters and a few accompanying subordinates.

There were only two people left in the house, Zhao Qi and Huayang, Huayang looked relaxed, took a sip of tea by himself, and said without looking at Zhao Qi: "If you have a fart, I don't have time to listen to your complaints."

Zhao Qi's head was suddenly full of black lines, this is not like what the mother of a country said, thinking that the entire Great Qin Huayang can only talk to him like this, needless to say, she must have thought that Zhao Qi was too troublesome to shirk, but she was the queen, no matter how she said it, she didn't dare to refute it, so she asked respectfully: "Does Niangniang know that the drunken Xianglou is a crouching tiger and a hidden snake?"

Listening to Zhao Qi's words, Huayang's face immediately sank, glared at Zhao Qi and asked, "You asked the palace to dismiss the guards just to say this?"

Zhao Qi scratched his head a little uncertainly, could it be that the queen already knew? Still in collusion with the Assassins? Looking up and seeing the queen's face on the verge of eruption, Zhao Qi immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang misunderstood, the kid is not talking about the singer of Zuixianglou, the kid means that Zuixianglou is not as simple as imagined......"

Zhao Qi explained his experience in Zuixianglou not long ago to Huayang.

Hua Yang's brows furrowed after hearing this, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "Don't make a noise at this time, Wang Shang has long expected that Daqin has some unstable factors, but he didn't expect it to be hidden in such a place, no wonder he can't find it for a long time."

Zhao Qi touched his head, sure enough, King Qin is not a vegetarian, they have long been aware of the existence of these people, but they haven't found a hiding place, if these people don't see that he is young and easy to deceive, they probably don't want to expose it, how do they know that this seemingly idle lazy and intelligent person is the most unlikely to commit treason.

"This palace is still very satisfied with your performance, and you have done your best for Daqin, but, with your temperament, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just trying to tell me about this, right?" Huayang stared at Zhao Qi with a smile, and those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate all of Zhao Qi's thoughts.

Zhao Qi was very unnatural, he felt as if he had no secrets in the queen, and no careful thinking could escape her eyes, it didn't matter, the current matter was to arrange the family properly, so he said: "Niangniang, you also know that I have rejected these people's requests, they must have regarded me as an enemy, I myself have some skills, but there is nothing to be afraid of, the kid is afraid that these people will find my family, so ......"

"So you want this palace to send people to garrison the Zhao Mansion to protect Wei Lan and Bai Zhong?" Huayang interrupted Zhao Qi's words, his eyes kept staring at Zhao Qi, staring at him until his scalp was numb, and only after a long time did he say, "Do you know that they used to be relatives of criminal ministers." ”

"But now they're my relatives!" Zhao Qi raised his head and looked directly at Huayang's gaze, he couldn't be soft in this kind of thing.

After looking at each other for a long time, Huayang sighed and said, "This palace has agreed, let's say, which guards do you want in the palace."

"It doesn't matter to the others, the kid only asks for one."

"Who?"

"My master Li Xin!"
