Chapter 69: The Pawn
As soon as he entered Xianyang City, Qin Qing immediately became another Qin Qing. The arrogant frost crawled to her face again, and the look of rejection thousands of miles away made it difficult to connect the prodigal woman who demanded too much last night with the one in front of her.
Shao Si Ming stood beside Qin Qing, and now she no longer brushed her face with a scarf. Instead, she stood on the edge of the carriage with her face facing the sky, and Yun Yue gave her plenty of time to consider her decision. The Yun family has one more concubine with strong martial arts, and Yun Yue naturally welcomes it with both hands. But if this young master regrets it, the consequences will ......
Before she had time to worship the previous boss, Yun Yue wanted to meet the current boss.
Jing Erduan sat in the center of the Chengming Palace, and next to him sat Zhao Ji, who had a good demeanor. I have to say that this woman is really a good actor, what can she do like anything. Back then, in the Proton Mansion, the Yindang Zhao Ji completely disappeared, and now the Empress Dowager of Great Qin is extremely solemn. If you put on a robe, you will have a fight with Shakyamuni.
"Chen Yunyue, I've seen the Queen Mother!" Yun Yue walked into the Chengming Hall and bowed down. This is already his maximum limit, let him kowtow to Jing Er, and he is unwilling to kill him. Jing Er is now young, and he was accompanied by Zhao Ji when he received the ministers in the previous court. In other words, when it comes to the right to speak in the court, Lü Buwei is the first, and Zhao Ji is definitely the second. However, who has the final say is another matter.
Don't look at Zhao Ji as the queen mother now, but she still asks for instructions early and reports late to the queen mother Huayang. Her current role in the Chengming Hall and the Xuanmur Hall is just the mouthpiece of the Empress Dowager Huayang. At the moment, she's doing pretty well. The Empress Dowager Huayang was also very satisfied, as for Lu Buwei. You can't compete with a horn, let alone use it yourself.
"Flattened ......!" Two voices rang out at the same time. A voice came from Jing Er. A voice came from Zhao Ji.
The hall suddenly looked extremely embarrassed. The smell of Lü Buwei's vinegar wafted from the air.
Lord Xiangbang's face was extremely ugly at the moment, and he held even more grudges against Yun Yue, the crooked seedling that grew out of his own land. I can't wait to send someone to chop Yunyue into eighteen pieces and feed them to the dogs.
It's just a matter of robbing Jing Er's father's love with himself, and now Zhao Ji is also red-faced. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that on the way to escort Zhao Ji back to Qin, the two of them seem to have a little something. Now, it doesn't seem like it's groundless.
As for Jing Er. Needless to say, that's not to mention. When I saw Yun Yue, my eyes were shining. I almost got off the throne and hugged Yun Yue. It's true that my uncle can't bear it, and my aunt can't bear it either.
"Yunhou escorted the little princess of Chu State, hard work all the way! I heard that Yunhou was ambushed in the state of Chu and was injured. Now that Yunhou has returned safely, he is relieved. "Lu Buwei is worthy of being an old fox, and he has already greeted all the women of the Yun family in his heart, but what he said is a different word.
"There is Lord Lao Xiangbang who remembers it, and Yun Yue, who is a little younger, is not in his eyes. The care of Lord Xiangbang. Yun Yueming felt in his heart. Yun Yue's words were a pun, and Lu Buwei was suddenly startled. Could it be that Yun Yue knows something? But then I thought about it. It seems impossible. His relationship with Chun Shenjun is very secret, and few people in the Prime Minister's Mansion know about it. Yun Yue categorically couldn't know!
"Yunhou is my Great Qin Heavy Minister, and he has been guarding Pingliang for the past few years. It made the Huns sad Jingshui, and such great achievements were often mentioned when the ancestors were alive. Now that the Lord is young, it is the time for us and our courtiers to share the king's sorrows. Buwei has already proposed that the king and Feng Yunhou be a pawn. In charge of my Great Qin Honglu, I don't know what Yunhou wants? ”
Lu Buwei smiled and explained the things he had discussed with Zhao Ji and Jing Er before Yun Yue came.
Regarding Yun Yue's appointment, Jing Er and Zhao Ji have no opinions. In their hearts, Duba hoped that Yunyue would be able to stay in Xianyang. In Lu Buwei's eyes, it was obvious that Zhao Ji's desire seemed to be stronger than Jing Er's. Zhao Ji is a person who is very good at disguising, and being able to lose her temper like this proves that this woman really has something to Yun Yue in her heart. Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance, Lu Xiangbang was even more like killing Yun Yue.
Lu Buwei, who gritted his teeth in his heart, had a warm smile on his face. It's like an elder is promoting a favorite young junior.
Yun Yue was a little dazed, before entering the Xuan Room Palace. No one told him what kind of pawn he was going to be named today. What kind of official is this official, Yun Yue doesn't know. The systems of the six countries are different, and the names of natural official positions are also varied. He doesn't want to be a historian of the Warring States period, who would remember this thing with his heart. According to Yun Yue's idea, it is best to go back to Pingliang to live. Who wants to stay in Xianyang, the tiger's den in Longtan, and when it is best to leave, it will be perfect to take Qin Qing away.
Zhao Ji was so smart, she could see Yun Yue's embarrassment at this time. said with a smile: "Yunhou, this pawn is in charge of my Great Qin's diplomacy, and he is an important minister in the court. Lu Xiang said, you were an envoy to the Huns. Turning the tide and saving the life of Yiqujun, the current pawn Ziche Gaoshi is already old. Can't be competent, the mourning family and Lu Xiang discussed, this position is still the most suitable for Yunhou to do. ”
Although it was in a consultative tone, everyone could see that the Queen Mother was already willing. The first fat difference in the imperial court will fall on this Yunhou.
Pawnke, in charge of a country's diplomacy. On weekdays, eating, drinking, and sending are ushered in, and even going to a brothel is reimbursed by the state. Not to mention, when the envoys come to Daqin, they will have gifts to offer. That is, there is not only responsibility, but also no risk. It is really a perfect difference for making money and making a living, and the weight in the DPRK and China is not low. At each court meeting, the opinions of the pawn were also the basis for the monarch to formulate policies.
From time to time, you have to take a group to send an envoy, which time is not the gold and silver beauties in the car, as for whether you send it out or not. The ghost is too lazy to care, do you still let people issue invoices for gifts?
Such a beauty difference, if it were someone else, the snot bubbles would come out happily. But we, Yunhou, don't seem to be very satisfied. looked contemplative, which made Lu Buwei want to smoke him now.
"Yun Hou still has doubts? If you have anything to say, the mourning family and the Lord Xiangbang both hope that Yunhou will become my Great Qin Dian and serve the king! Zhao Ji saw that Yun Yue didn't speak, so she asked in a hurry. As soon as the words came out, I felt a little abrupt, even if it was asked, it seemed that it should be more appropriate for Lu Buwei to ask.
Peeked at Lu Buwei, and sure enough, Lord Xiangbang's face was as ugly as it was. 's eyes were also looking at Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji hurriedly looked away.
At this time, Yun Yue came to her senses. Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei's expressions were all in his eyes. Looks. The two of them began to break the thread again. People are old lovers. It's not surprising that they hooked up so quickly. I just don't know when that guy will play. At that time, it will be really lively.
"Thanks to the king, the queen mother, and Lord Xiangbang look up to Yunyue. It's just that Pingliang has complicated affairs. There are also Huns who need to be defended, if Yun Yue stays in Xianyang for too long. I'm afraid that the Huns on the northern border will be ready to move again. If the sword soldiers on the northern border rise again, it will greatly slow down the pace of our Great Qin's Eastern Expedition. Please also ask the king, the queen mother, and the lord of Xiangbang to think twice. ”
Yun Yue decided not to wade into this muddy water, Xianyang is now a powder keg. It's better to hurry back to Pingliang and your own comfort zone. Moreover, Yun Yue now has a huge plan in his head. Spring is about to begin, and it seems too late to start preparing.
"Yunhou's words are wrong! The northern border was still garrisoned by the male soldiers of Yunhou, and the imperial court would also supply grain and ordnance. With Li Siwei and other civil and military generals, Yunhou's fiefdom will be safe. Not to mention. There are not only Pingliang defenders in the north, but also tens of thousands of iron horsemen of Yiqujun.
Last time, it was Yiqu Jun who attacked lightly. Otherwise, how could the Yiqu Iron Cavalry be defeated by the Huns. Compared with the northern border, the imperial court of Great Qin needed Yunhou even more. As a pawn, Yunhou should not resign. "Lü Buwei has already thought twice, and he doesn't care about the northern border. What he has to manage now is Yun Yue, as long as he kills Yun Yue. He would rather lose the entire Hetao steppe. Anyway, the Qin people are now also farming households, no longer nomadic herdsmen. What do you want to do in the grassland!
"Yes, Yunhou! You are still too fu, and Lone still expects you to teach in Xianyang from time to time! Jing Er also spoke, even though he had been a spirit ghost since he was a child. But the child is still a child after all, and he has an instinctive closeness and fear for Yun Yue. It is a mixed affection, like a child's feelings for his father.
In King Zhuang Xiang, Jing Er once got this kind of feeling. It's a pity that he listened to Lü Buwei's words. Poisoned that father with his own hands, naturally. This feeling was transferred to Yun Yue, and all kinds of guilt for King Zhuang Xiang made Jing Er's inner feelings more and more intense. Now it's hard to wait for Yun Yue to come back, how can I let him go again.
"Yunhou, the king has repeatedly retained. You still agreed, the mourning family went to the Empress Xiaohou early in the morning (Empress Dowager Huayang, because Empress Dowager Huayang is Queen Qin Xiaowen. So call the queen of filial piety! Please be there to be safe, and this is also what the filial queen means. Zhao Ji seemed to be sincere in keeping Yun Yue, and she realized that only this man could help her get rid of Lu Buwei's control. Forming her own faction, she really doesn't want to live on anyone anymore.
Just now, he repeatedly made three remarks to retain, which has already made Lu Buwei crazy with jealousy. It's hard to speak again now, so you can only use the banner of filial piety. No one in Xianyang City knows that Yun Yue is a loyal horse boy of filial piety. Now that the eldest sister is speaking, Yun Yue seems to have no reason to excuse herself.
"Uh...... This matter is too sudden, the king, the queen mother and Lord Xiangbang, can you let Yun Yue think about it. After the Xuanmu Palace court meeting tomorrow, Yun Yue will definitely give an explanation to the imperial court. "It's easier to delay than to object, Yun Yue intends to drag it out. After attending tomorrow's pilgrimage, find a chance to slip away. It's hard to do it, you still dare to go to Pingliang to catch Lao Tzu. If that's the case, it's that Lü Buwei is uncomfortable with himself.
After a while, I went to the Empress Dowager Huayang to meet Qin Qing and see if I could take Qin Qing away. Leaving her alone in Xianyang City, Yun Yue was a little uneasy. The best way is to take Qin Qing to Pingliang. From now on, run your own kingdom there.
"Also, such a big thing Yun Hou has to be carefully considered. Then so be it, after tomorrow's court meeting, the mourning family and Xiangbang and the king listen to Yunhou's decision. Zhao Ji knew that Yun Yue was a smooth donkey, and the more she choked, it would backfire.
When she said this, Lu Buwei couldn't say anything. They didn't say no, they just wanted to think about it for a day. This request is not excessive in any way.
"Just the Queen Mother, Yunhou, don't let the Empress Xiao, the Queen Mother, the King and the Prime Minister be disappointed. The position of this pawn belongs to you. After seeing the attitudes of Jing Er and Zhao Ji today, Lu Buwei made up his mind. No matter what the price is, Yun Yue must be left behind. If you don't kill Yun Yue, sooner or later, your wife and children will have to run away with him
Exiting the Chengming Palace, Yun Yue actually bumped into Qiandu. Yun Yue thought that she had seen a ghost, shouldn't this thing be buried with King Zhuang Xiang? How did it end up here?
"You're ......!" Yun Yue instinctively took a step back. When I saw the long shadow on the ground, I breathed a sigh of relief. Legend has it that ghosts have no shadows.
"Yunhou, the king is sympathetic to the minions. Let the old slave serve the king for a few more days, and then he will be buried by the king of the ancestors. When the old slave dies, he will go to the tomb to accompany the first king. "You can see that this guy scares a lot of people these days. It was not strange to see Yun Yue like this, and he also explained.
Don't let Qiandu be buried, this must be Zhao Ji's idea again. Over the years, this old eunuch has been in charge of the Imperial Governor's Office, and he has widely spread eyeliner openly and secretly, wanting to sit firmly in the position of the king. How can you do it if you don't leave this guy behind, and let this spy leader of great value be buried, it's simply a tyrannical thing.
"Qiandu Gong has won the trust of two generations of kings, which is gratifying. Yun Yue also wants to enter the palace to meet Xiaohou, and she will definitely visit Qiandu Gong when she is young. "For such a big spy leader, it's better to make less trouble. Asking someone to give a gift at night is also a friendship.
"Yunhou has all the opportunities, where do you dare to work Yunhou. On the day of rest, Qiandu will definitely go to visit Yunhou. "Qiandu has been in the palace all his life, so he naturally knows when to say something. The two of them were polite and passed each other by with a salute.
Gaoquan Palace has not come for a few days, and it seems that the change of name of the throne has not affected this filial queen. Inside and outside the palace, the palace attendants shuttle endlessly. The ladies and dignitaries waiting to be seen were in groups, and the Yongxiang was full of gorgeous carriages.
Yun Yue squeezed out with great difficulty, walked to the inner servant and said, "I'm tired and tired, Pingliang Hou Yunyue visits the filial piety queen." He handed over a copper cake.
"Yo! Yunhou, the Qing nobleman ordered. As long as you come, we will be introduced immediately, thank you for your reward! "The chamberlain is also a clever person, and after seeing Yun Yue, he immediately seemed to see a dog with flesh and bones. The smile on his face was like a chrysanthemum, leading Yun Yue into Gaoquan Palace. Behind him, a group of people waited and discussed, and those who didn't know each other inquired about what the hell was going on with this person, and he was actually summoned in advance.
The palace gate was full of people, but the palace was clean as usual. The little princess of Chu sat kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager Huayang and said something, and the chamberlain directly introduced Yun Yue into the side hall. Not long after, Qin Qing walked in, looking like he had something to discuss with Yun Yue. (To be continued.) )
