Chapter Thirty-Nine: Mother and Son Are Strange

"Queen Mother." Yingji stood up and respectfully saluted the eight sons who came from here. After returning to the Qin State, because there was no pro-government, political affairs were generally decided by Mi Bazi, and he just attended some government affairs according to Mi Bazi's requirements, and only listened to them. Yingji didn't feel inappropriate, after all, the experience of the past few days was enough for him to study for a long time.

"Ji'er, excuse me." Mi Bazi sat on top of Yingji and looked at his son with satisfaction.

Yingji has indeed grown up, and his experience in Zhao has given him a little more city. But in the eyes of the mother, the son will never grow up. Looking at Yingji's respectful eyes, a sense of boredom inexplicably rose in her heart.

"Ji'er has been studying hard these days, I don't know if I have made some progress?"

Yingji shook her head honestly, "There are a lot of things in government affairs, and I already have a headache when I listen to the Queen Mother, Xiangguo, and the ministers on weekdays, and I have to listen to the teachings of the masters when I go back." Ji'er felt that if there was no Empress Dowager and Xiangguo, Ji'er would never be able to bear the heavy responsibility of Qin. ”

Hearing Yingji say this, Mi Bazi's heart was even more upset.

"Don't be sad." She suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart, and still had a spring breeze in her face, "You are still young and can't handle government affairs, and it's not that you can't handle government affairs, but because you're still young, and after a few years of tempering, you will naturally be able to take on this heavy responsibility." In the past few years, Xiao Tong has taken care of Ji'er first" As she spoke, her eyes turned and her tone changed, "In addition, your brothers and uncles are of great use, so they will naturally be promoted to help you." ”

Yingji nodded, "Ji'er knows that it is the Queen Mother and her uncle as the general of Xianyang, so it is naturally for the safety of our mother and son." ”

"This just shows that Ji'er doesn't understand anything, at least the child's mind, Ji'er is still clear." She looked at Yingji and tried her best to make herself look very loving, "In the past few days, Xiaotong has also been thinking about it, your brothers and uncles can also take charge of themselves, and they should also come out to do something for Daqin and Ji'er, and share some burdens." ”

Yingji's expression was fleeting, and she immediately changed to an expression of humility and asked for advice: "A few days ago, Xiangguo said that he proposed to use General Bai Qi as a guard general and garrison Yiyang, Ji'er felt that there was still some reason, after all, General Bai Qi fought bravely and was also a good general, and it was more than enough to serve as a guard general in Yiyang. However, the Queen Mother rejected the matter and recommended Xiang Shou instead. ”

He quietly looked at a Mi Bazi and found that his expression was the same, so he mustered up the courage to continue, "Ji'er felt that the Queen Mother would naturally not delay state affairs and do that nepotism. It's just that after thinking about it, General Xiang Shou is much worse than General Bai Qi. Why did the Queen Mother refuse this? ”

Mi Bazi seems to be an ancient well, but in fact, his heart has long been surging. It's like every time I see Yingji, I feel mixed feelings, because no matter what point of view, his favorite will always be Gongzi Fu - this youngest son who depends on each other in his most difficult time.

"It seems that Ji'er has really grown up, and when she learns government affairs in the future, she must also think about it, so that she can't be tied up by others." Mi Bazi got up with a smile and glanced at the palace people on both sides. The palace people understood and consciously retreated, guarding the door, and only the mother and son were left in the hall.

Mi Bazi got up slowly, and said leisurely: "Indeed, as Xiangguo said, whether it is Bai Qi's ability or merit, he is the only one who is in the position of Yiyang's guard. What's more, he escorted Ji'er all the way from Zhao to Xianyang, and he can be regarded as a meritorious hero, a Yiyang general, and he can be regarded as being able to fully appreciate Ji'er's gratitude to General Bai Qi. ”

Yingji lowered his head embarrassedly, his little thought really didn't escape Mi Bazi's eyes. He didn't reject Xiang Shou as the Yiyang guard, he just wanted to reward Bai Qi.

Mi Bazi took in Yingji's expression and knew that his guess was right. "It's just that Ji'er must remember that although you and my mother and son are sitting in Xianyang, there is only one Wei Ran, and they can't save us. We still need more Wei Ran to help us in order to make you a good Qin King!" ”

"Although Bai Qi is not a subordinate of Xiangguo, he is a talent promoted by Gan Mao, and he must have a feeling of gratitude for Gan Mao. Bai Qi is a brave and warlike person, but it is difficult to choose between human feelings and sophistication. While thinking about it, Mi Bazi said slowly, "If you miss state affairs because of personal feelings, it will not only be of no benefit to the Qin State, but also a pity for the king." ”

Yingji knew that Mi Bazi was vaguely telling him that Gan Mao had deep feelings for the dead King Qin Wu, and Yi Bazi was very uneasy about Gan Mao. Bai Qi is a person with great feelings, and he is too close to Gan Mao, if he is involved by Gan Mao, the loss is not as simple as a general.

"What's more, Bai Qi acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and he had no strategy. The most important thing in Yiyang's new conquest is to educate and repair, not to raise troops to fight. Now that Qin's internal turmoil is still there, and the outside world is around, if Bai Qi insists on going his own way and provokes a war with Korea, it will inevitably affect the peace of the Qin State, and it must be observed. ”

Yingji thought for a while, nodded and said, "I see, Ji'er misunderstood the queen mother's mind." ”

Mi Bazi nodded.

However, Yingji turned to say: "Then the Queen Mother thinks that among the lonely uncles and brothers, who else is up to the task?" ”

Looking at Yingji's respectful expression, Mi Bazi suddenly felt a little awkward, she adjusted her sitting posture, thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "Actually, it's just Qi Rong, Fu'er and Kui'er, plus Wei Ran, these four people are related to you by blood, if you can be promoted, you will definitely be able to assist Ji'er and deal with the political affairs of the Qin State." ”

Yingji only thought about it for a while, and continued to ask in an inquiring tone: "Lone also thinks that the Queen Mother's proposal for these four people is enough to be a big responsibility. It's just that I don't know what Xiang Guo is..."

Mi Bazi raised his eyebrows, "Xiangguo is old and serious, and it is the clan of the Qin State, and it is based on maintaining the Qin State everywhere. Presumably, he would not object to Xiao Tong's suggestion. She rolled her eyebrows, "What's more, Ji'er is the king of Qin, no matter what, he will take state affairs first." ”

Yingji didn't refute, nodded and responded: "What the Queen Mother said is reasonable, it's better to leave this matter to Lone, and Lone will discuss it with Xiangguo one day." ”

"It's natural for Ji'er to do this." Mi Bazi smiled, "Xiangguo will definitely focus on state affairs." Between the words, there is already some meaning of leaving. I don't know why, she feels more and more estranged from Yingji, so much so that she wants to leave here early.

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, Xiangguo is naturally focused on state affairs." Yingji followed closely, and then said, "A few days ago, Xiangguo met with him, and also mentioned that the government and the opposition have discussed the matter of ceding Wusui to Zhao Guo recently, saying that every time he thinks about it, he still can't sleep at night. ”

Mi Bazi's eyes flashed with fierceness, and then passed away quietly, looking at Yingji with a smile, "Xiaotong has heard a lot about this matter, and it seems that many people oppose this matter?" ”

"Some people are against it, and some people are in favor of it." Yingji said, "It is precisely because of this matter that Xiangbang hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. ”

"What does Ji'er mean?" Mi Bazi looked at Yingji, but the latter didn't care.

"Ji'er is naturally ignorant and doesn't dare to say much, but on the whole, she still wants to refuse this matter." He said, "But just now, the Queen Mother said that Xiangguo has always given priority to state affairs, and Xiangguo prefers to compromise with Zhao first in exchange for internal strife between South Korea and Zhao." Ji'er thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what Xiangbang said also made some sense. He shook his head and looked at Mi Bazi with a puzzled face, "Yiji'er doesn't know how to make a trade-off now." ”

Mi Bazi looked at her son, and her smile became brighter and brighter, like a mother who was happy to see her son becoming more and more sensible.

"Who said my son doesn't know how to do politics?" Mi Bazi said with a smile, "This way of scheming doesn't seem to be immature!" ”

Yingji's face turned red, and she said that she didn't dare.

"Since this matter was mentioned by the left minister, and the right minister has a lot of thoughts, both of them are loyal to the country, so naturally they will not be playful. In this way, Xiao Tong also felt that it seemed that it might be feasible to cede Wu Sui. ”

"Is the Queen Mother's words true?" Yingji hurriedly asked.

Mi Bazi's smile became darker and darker, looking at Yingji, who was finally out of shape, and nodded in response: "Seriously." At this time, Xiang Shou had just arrived in Yiyang, and he might be able to profit from it, but it is not known. ”

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, and Lone also thinks it is feasible." Yingji nodded.

Standing outside Yingji's main hall, Mi Bazi suddenly turned his head and looked at the palace. She has been in the Qin Palace for many years and has long been familiar with it. Now that I'm leaving there, I suddenly feel strange again.

"The Queen Mother?" The maid next to her saw that she was a little strange, and whispered her name.

Mi Bazi didn't look back, but said, "Go back." ”

"No." Saying that, the palace people put aside the queen mother's dependence and waited for Mi Bazi to turn around.

Finally, she turned around and looked at the palace people's support, and she was in a trance for a while. She didn't know whether these dependencies brought her supreme glory or power discord with her son? Since when did the relationship between her and Yingji become strangers?

"Is it Gan Mao, or is it a disease?" The waves in her mind are surging, and in her eyes, the reason why Yingji has become strange seems to have nothing to do with her mother forever, and it will never have anything to do with her preference. No matter how well Yingji disguises it, in the eyes of Mi Bazi, it seems that she is suspected of being instigated by others.

"Whoever it is, it doesn't please to look at the child." The corners of her eyebrows suddenly sharpened, "You will all leave the Qin Kingdom." ”

In the main hall, Yingji looked at the figure of Mi Bazi who left with a mighty hand, her eyes were hazy, and she lowered the curtain heavily, isolating the world.

"Sure enough, the struggle for power has always been ruthless, right, right minister." He looked at the ill behind him and said lightly.
