Chapter 187: Broken Ship
Zhao Shuang is leaving? β
In Huayang Palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang listened to Changping Jun's words, and her face showed doubts.
"It shouldn't be!"
The Empress Dowager Huayang paced in the hall and muttered.
Cheng Chan was killed, and a vacuum appeared above the court in Xianyang. Zhao Shuang didn't want to take a step further at this moment and gain a firm foothold in Xianyang, but wanted to quit, which was really strange.
Changpingjun took a step forward and whispered.
"On that day, the king admired Hanyangjun a lot and wanted to be crowned an official. However, Han Yangjun resigned, and in turn interceded for the people and clans under the command of Cheng Yu. gave such a big favor in vain, but didn't want anything, and provoked the resentment of the Empress Dowager Zhao. Chen really couldn't figure it out, what did Zhao Shuang want to do? β
Speaking of this, Changpingjun couldn't help but smile.
"Could it be that at a young age, Zhao Shuang is already like those Taoist hermits, pure in heart and few desires, and does not love the prosperity of the world?"
When the Empress Dowager Huayang heard this, she couldn't help but smile, and her face was certain.
"I understand, he thinks this is not the time to be a leader."
"Not a chance to be a leader?"
"Above the court, Lu Buwei is in power. Now there is a concubine, and it is clear that it is going to set off a bloody storm. He wanted to hide and watch the excitement. β
"So what are we going to do?"
"Isn't it nice to be able to watch the excitement? It's Lu Buwei who should be in a hurry, not you! β
"Got it!"
"Queen Mother, Hanyangjun is out asking to see you."
Empress Dowager Huayang restrained her smile and waved her hand.
"Ask him to come in."
"Meet the Empress Dowager Huayang!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Shuang'er is much more energetic."
The Empress Dowager Huayang was full of smiles, looking at Zhao Shuang, her words were polite, but she did not have the eagerness of the past.
"Hanyang-kun and Xiangbang are very close, why do you have time to come here today?"
Changpingjun sat under the Empress Dowager Huayang and said with a cold face.
"Changping Jun laughed, no matter how close I am to Xiangbang, how can I get a deep love for my son-in-law?"
Zhao Shuang's words, the smile on the face of the Empress Dowager Huayang converged, and she nodded slightly.
Shuang'er's words are very sad. No matter how good you are with outsiders, how can you get the kindness of your family. β
"The Queen Mother is right!"
It was almost evening, and the Empress Dowager Huayang left Zhao Shuang and Changpingjun for dinner.
It's just that, looking at the dishes on the table, Zhao Shuang didn't move for a long time, with a worried face.
"Shuang'er, isn't the dish appetizing?"
"No, the food in the Queen Mother's palace is very delicious. The minister just thought that in this Guanzhong land, there are a large number of Qianshou who want to be exiled to Lintao because of the rebellion, and he feels a little unbearable. Though by the grace of the king, he slew less. But these convicted leaders not only have to build, but also have to be on guard against Hu Qiang's attacks from time to time. If you're not careful, I'm afraid you'll lose your life. β
The Empress Dowager Huayang raised her head, and a little brilliance flashed in her eyes.
"Yes! Qianshou suffered, and he was indeed innocent. Shuang'er thinks, what should I do? β
"The Xiongnu are powerful, occupy Henan, repeatedly cross the Great Wall, and threaten our Daqin border, which is really a big trouble. It's just that I, Daqin, can't spare my hands at the moment to deal with the Huns. When the minister heard that in the southwest of the Xiongnu, there was a Rong Di, which was called the Yue clan after the ghost party of that year. I, Daqin, can send envoys to make friends and trade with each other, thinking that it is a countermeasure. If it can be successful, it can contain the Xiongnu on the one hand, and reduce the border provocation on the other. β
Shuang'er's words are really kind-hearted. The mourning family understood, and the king of Changping should persuade the king above the court to carry out this strategy. β
After a drinking banquet, Zhao Shuang said goodbye and left.
Changping Jun held his breath and finally asked when Zhao Shuang's figure left.
"Queen Mother, what do you want to do with Zhao Shuang's whimsy?"
Empress Dowager Huayang smiled and said slightly.
"Where do I have to go to Xi'an?"
"Yongcheng!"
Changpingjun blurted out, and he already understood.
Empress Dowager Zhao can be in Yongcheng!
"Regardless of the success or failure of this strategy, if it works, Yongcheng will be lively. When the time comes, the envoys and caravans will meet in Yongcheng. There are many people, and some things are interesting. β
The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled, with a coldness but seemed to be more solemn than the cold wind at night.
β¦β¦
Outside Huayang Palace.
The carriage was stationed, and Zhao Shuang had just gotten into the car when he heard a sound from the side.
The armor man stopped the comer, but he heard the halberd outside, and the comer bowed.
"Your Majesty, Xiangbang invites your lord to go to the mansion for a while."
"Benjun is unwell, infected with the cold, I am afraid that there will be disturbance to Xiangbang, please come to tell Xiangbang, and Benjun will come again to ask for sin."
In the astonishment of the messenger, the carriage slowly departed, leaving no trace.
On top of the carriage, Wei Zhuang sat on its side.
"Lu Xiang has always been close to you. Why, people just helped you, and you treat others like this? β
Wei Zhuang's gaze was wild and devouring, trying to figure out what this sudden change was.
"It's not that I'm ungrateful, it's just a ship that's destined to break, and there's no point in keeping up."
"Doomed?"
Cheng Chan has just died, LΓΌ Buwei is in full swing, and his power is monstrous. At this time, Zhao Shuang said that Lu Buwei was going to lose, which was really whimsical in the eyes of outsiders.
It's like a dream.
But Wei Zhuang's face did show a smile.
"If a ship is going to break, then there's no use in staying on it. Are you trying to persuade me to get off the ship? β
"That's right."
"The best benefits can be obtained in times of crisis. I won't get off this ship. β
saw Zhao Shuang with a smile on his face and looked at Wei Zhuang.
"Ah Zhuang!"
Wei Zhuang's face changed, and his expression became very weird.
"Remember our friendship?"
"You don't have to come with me like this."
Zhao Shuang was stunned, and the smile on his face became more and more abundant.
"Then let me put it another way, remember the money you owe me?"
"You...... What exactly do you want me to do? β
Wei Zhuang's face was a little weak, but when he saw Zhao Shuang, he smiled and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the box.
β¦β¦
Xiangbang Province.
"I see, you go down first!"
The attendant brought back Zhao Shuang's words, he didn't want to come, but Lu Buwei didn't have time to get angry.
In the cold study, Lu Buwei was in a cold sweat and his hands trembled slightly.
Nothing can make Great Qin's Xiangbang like this, except for this monstrous disaster that he just learned.
LΓΌ Buwei finally understood why Zhao Ji wanted to find a marquis for Chang Yu above the court, and also understood why Zhao Shuang was in a hurry to turn around and draw a line with him.
For this reason, he even did not hesitate to withdraw from Xianyang.
It's just that it's too late to get angry, Lu Buwei feels that he has been tied to their broken ship by Zhao Ji and Chang Yu.
It's been a long time, and Daqin's Xiangbang hasn't been so distracted that he can't think of a countermeasure.
After a long time, the emotions full of complex things finally turned into a long sigh.
"This woman is really crazy."
