Lü Buwei's mansion in Handan City was actually not very far from Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao's mansion, and the carriage only traveled for twenty minutes.

This is a mansion that looks ordinary from the outside, and there are two sturdy guards with sharp eyes standing outside the gate, and when they saw Lü Buwei get out of the car, they immediately bowed and saluted: "Master." ”

If it was in the past, Lu Buwei would have more or less smiled and nodded to the two ranger elites he had hired with a lot of money, but today, Lu Buwei, who was preoccupied, was not in the mood at all, and just walked into the mansion with a casual hum.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the mansion, an old man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of Lu Buwei and said in a low voice: "Master, Gongsun is here." ”

Gongsun does not refer to a person called Gongsun. At this time, the sons of the princes and kings were called Gongzi, and the grandsons of the princes and kings were called Gongsun, to put it bluntly, Gongzi was the same as Gongsun, which was the title of "prince" and "emperor's grandson" in later generations.

As a businessman who is very good at managing contacts, Lü Buwei knows a lot of sons and grandsons, for example, he just came out of the Leopard Mansion of Zhao's son, but there is only one grandson who can come to Lü Buwei's Mansion at this time, and that person is the grandson of Zhao Ji, the monarch of Qin, who is staying in Handan City as the proton of Qin at this moment - Zhao Yiren.

Lu Buwei was stunned when he heard this, and his face showed a slightly surprised expression: "In the middle of the night... How did he get here? ”

The housekeeper shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Gongsun has been here in the afternoon, but you were not in the house at that time... But according to your instructions, a banquet has been set up in the house, and Guo Niangzi is accompanying her grandson to drink. ”

"What?" Lu Buwei's face changed, and he walked quickly into the hall.

Don't look at Lü Buwei's mansion, which looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it is actually unique, decorated quite luxuriously, and there are many rare toys that need a lot of money to buy.

At this moment, the air in the hall is wafting with the smell of wine, and several women holding musical instruments are sitting on the side playing the piano and drums, playing melodious music.

A young woman is dressed in a colorful dress, dancing to the melody of music in the middle of the hall, the woman's face is pretty, the waist is slender, and the red dress and green sleeves seem to have those seductive scenery looming, the end is extremely seductive, making people's blood gush.

At the top of the hall sat a young man in black, who seemed to have drunk a little too much, and two obvious red lumps had appeared on his cheeks, and he was holding a dagger in his hand and slapping it on the table with the beat of the instrument, and the whole person shook his head and his eyes were staring at the dancing woman, and he never left for a moment.

When Lü Buwei walked in, just after a song was finished, the woman in the center of the hall slowly stopped, and happened to see Lü Buwei walking in from outside the hall.

The woman was slightly taken aback, and bowed to Lu Buwei: "The concubine has seen the head of the family." ”

This woman is Lü Buwei's concubine Guo, from another wealthy family in Handan City, the Guo family. There are a lot of concubines like this, and since this concubine is from Zhao State, Lü Buwei usually prefers to call her - Zhao Ji.

Lu Buwei frowned slightly, and waved his hand at Zhao Ji and the few musicians who played the piano and drums around him: "I have something to talk about with Gongsun, let's go down." ”

Needless to say, the young man who sat on the top seat was naturally Zhao Yiren.

It wasn't until this time that Zhao Yiyi, who had been staring at Zhao Ji with squinting eyes, finally discovered Lu Buwei's existence, and smiled at Lu Buwei with a spurt of wine in his mouth: "Lu Zi, I finally waited until you returned, come, and have a few drinks with me." ”

Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Yiren, who was obviously very drunk, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said, "Gongsun, drinking is wrong." ”

Zhao Yiren laughed and said: "I am the proton of the Qin State, the Zhao people don't like me for a long time, if it weren't for Lu Zi to help me, then I am afraid that I will not be able to go out of the gate half a step, what else can I do?" Let's drink! ”

What Zhao Yiren said is really true. During the Warring States period, it was a very common diplomatic action for countries to send protons to each other, which was equivalent to a means of assurance and mutual trust.

For the proton itself, this identity is actually very dangerous, because once there is a war between the two countries, then the proton in the enemy country is in danger of losing its head every minute.

Historically speaking, when Zhao Changping was defeated and Qin was victorious and came to Handan City, Zhao once planned to cut off Zhao Yiren's head.

If it weren't for Lü Buwei's various bribed relationships, Zhao Yiren's head would have been hung on the head of Handan City for the Qin army to watch.

Of course, even if it is a proton, due to the different degrees of favor and the different degrees of relations between countries, the treatment they receive is naturally different.

For example, now Zhao Wangdan's younger brother Chang'anjun went to Qi State to be a proton for a while a few years ago, but the reigning Qi Xiang Wang Tian Fazhang was the brother of the Empress Dowager Zhao, that is, Chang'anjun's uncle, and the Empress Dowager Zhao loved this little son very much, so although Chang'anjun was named Proton, his actual treatment was not much worse than when he was in Zhao.

And Zhao Yiren and Chang'an Jun are far behind, now there are dozens of Qin Wangji's sons, and there are three or four hundred grandsons like Zhao Yiren, and Zhao Yiren's father, An Guojun, the prince of Qin, also has more than 20 sons, plus Zhao Yiren's mother is just a low-status concubine, so Zhao Yiren's life and death Qin State doesn't care at all.

In addition, Qin and Zhao are facing each other at the moment in Changping Chen and Chen soldiers, and a great war may break out at any time, it is the time when the relationship is the most tense, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for the people of Zhao to have a good face for Zhao Yiren, a proton from Qin.

In fact, when he didn't know Lu Buwei a few months ago, Zhao Yiren was once so poor that he couldn't even eat, and he didn't even have a carriage to go out.

This is why when he met Lü Buwei and learned that Lü Buwei planned to help him ascend to the throne of Qin, Zhao Yiren would say the words "Please divide Qin and the monarch".

Anyway, Zhao Yiren is a poor and white poor bastard at this time, let alone divide the Qin State, even if he divides the throne, he dares to divide it, isn't it just a matter of mouth.

All in all, after getting to know Lü Buwei, Zhao Yiren's life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Lü Buwei, this guy, in one sentence, is "so poor that he only has money left", and he belongs to a local tyrant through and through. Such a local tyrant, the cooks and the wine and food at home are naturally very good, so Zhao Yiren came to Lu Buwei's house every once in a while like today, and ate heartily.

In order to facilitate Zhao Yiren's going out, Lu Buwei also used a lot of money to buy off Zhao Guoshang's doctor Lou Chang, so Lou Chang's guys who were responsible for monitoring Zhao Yiren also turned a blind eye to this.

So don't look at the lively fight between Qin and Zhao these days, Zhao Yiren's life is more comfortable than before, and he is simply happy.

Lu Buwei saw that Zhao Yiren was drinking well, but it was not easy to stop it, so he asked someone to reorganize the wine and food, and the two sat and drank opposite each other.

After only a few drinks, Zhao Yiren smiled drunkenly at Lu Buwei and said: "Lu Zi, Zhao Ji in your mansion, I am very happy, why don't you give this Ji to me, what?" ”

Obviously, Zhao Yiren had taken a fancy to Zhao Ji, the concubine of Lu Buwei who had just danced in the hall, and wanted Lu Buwei to give him this Zhao Ji.

As soon as Lu Buwei heard this, he immediately frowned, looking a little hesitant.

Zhao Ji, the little concubine, is very beautiful, dances well, has a variety of styles on the bed, is empathetic and very considerate under the bed, can be said to be an out-and-out stunner, and is very happy with Lu Buwei.

But to put it bluntly, the concubine in this era is just a personal item and a plaything for men. No matter how empathetic Zhao Ji is, it is impossible to compare with Zhao Yiren, after all, Lu Buwei originally put all his net worth and future on Zhao Yiren, what is a mere concubine?

What really made Lu Buwei hesitate was what Zhao Wangdan said to himself when he was in Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao's Mansion today.

Zhao Dan: "Lu Qing, the widow heard that there was a concubine in Ru's mansion, named Zhao Ji. ”

Lü Buwei: "Back to the king, there is indeed this woman in the minister's mansion." ”

Zhao Dan: "Is this woman pregnant?" ”

Lü Buwei: "Back to the king, this woman has never been pregnant. ”

Zhao Dan was overjoyed: "Good! Lu Qing remembered that if Zhao Yiren wanted to ask for this woman, Lu Qing would never allow it! ”

As a result, the future Prime Minister of the Qin State immediately fell into a dilemma.
