Chapter 143: Let's Go and Be the Village Chief
In the palace room, there is a charcoal basin, which is hot and stuffy.
As soon as Cheng Chan entered it, it didn't take long for him to let out a fine sweat.
"Grandmother!"
Cheng Chan knelt in front of the sickbed, holding the hand of the Empress Dowager Xia, and saw that her face was pale, her face was haggard, and there was a trace of sadness in her voice.
"You're here."
A smile appeared on Empress Dowager Xia's face, and Cheng Chan held her hand, unable to bear it.
"I bought the best 100-year-old ginseng from the vendor, grandmother, after you take it, the disease will definitely be cured."
Empress Dowager Xia's hand touched Cheng Chan's tear-stained face and sighed slightly.
"Ginseng can prolong life. No matter how good the ginseng is, it can't stop God from accepting people! β
"No, you'll be fine."
Empress Dowager Xia has a close relationship with Cheng Chan and has been brought up by her since she was a child. But now, Empress Dowager Xia's originally happy face showed a trace of worry.
She held Cheng Chan's hand, full of reassurance.
"You'er, you have to promise me one thing."
"Grandmother, you say, I'll do it for you."
Empress Dowager Xia beckoned, and sat up with difficulty with the help of the maid and Cheng Chan.
"You go down first!"
The tears on Cheng Chan's face had dried up, and he was a little puzzled at the moment, what was the matter with Empress Dowager Xia, to be so serious.
"Chan'er, I want you to promise me that you will be your Chang'an Jun in this life, and don't have other thoughts."
"I know that after my death, many people will encourage you and persuade you to go further. But you must remember that you can't be an enemy of the king? β
"You have a close relationship with the king, as long as you don't rebel, you can live unharmed and live to the end of your life."
Empress Dowager Xia's words were not listened to by Cheng Chan, his face changed, he let go of the hand holding Empress Dowager Xia, and his tone turned cold.
"Grandmother, you know, the throne of the Qin State was supposed to be mine. But his father listened to the words of LΓΌ Buwei and Zhao Ji and made him the crown prince. β
"Chan'er, what you say is very rebellious."
"I've wanted to say this for too long. We are all your grandchildren, but I thought you would be on my side, but you advised me not to take back what was rightfully theirs. β
Cheng Chan stood up and said.
"Let me ask, in terms of force, on unifying the army, on governing the country, and on the background of the descendants, which point am I inferior to him? But why, he is the king of Qin! β
Empress Dowager Xia sighed and persuaded.
"Cheng Chan, Cheng Chan! You're just a dragon, but he's a dragon! You can't fight the king. β
Empress Dowager Xia's earnest words aroused Cheng Chan's fighting spirit even more.
"When Jiao also turns into a dragon, I won't be trampled under his feet for the rest of my life."
Cheng Chan looked at the Empress Dowager Xia and bowed down.
"The grandson can promise his grandmother that if he ascends to the throne of Qin one day, he will never take his life, and he will be rich and noble for life."
"Python, Python......."
Empress Dowager Xia's weak voice only had a more and more determined back to leave.
......
Xianyang liquor store, the street is full of traffic.
After Zhao Shuang came out of Huayang Palace, he looked depressed.
"Why are you not happy to give you a daughter-in-law?"
Zhao Laosi sat opposite him and quipped.
"It's a daughter-in-law for nothing, but it doesn't take until more than ten years later to really get it. You're happy to change you! β
Zhao Shuang picked up the wine glass from the table and looked at Zhao Laosi.
"I've heard that Zhao Hai and Zhao Ying not only became Zhonglang, but also married one by one, all of whom were famous ladies. Feng's, Wang's, Hou's, Li's, and Yang's are all from extraordinary backgrounds, and they want to have a figure and a look, but it's me who gave it to a little girl. β
Zhao Laosi looked at Zhao Shuang's appearance, but he smiled even more.
"The old lady is clearly taking advantage of you, and she wants you to thank her."
Zhao Shuang glanced at Zhao Laosi, and his head, which was weak, was raised slightly.
"You sold hundreds of war horses to Chang Yu, and LΓΌ Buwei will find out sooner or later. If you want to hide behind and watch the show, I'm afraid it's not so simple. β
Zhao Laosi tapped his fingers on the table and smiled slightly.
"Then you look down on Lu Buwei too much, I'm afraid he has already found out."
"Then what are you going to do, continue to pretend to be crazy and stupid?"
Zhao Shuang's question was not answered, he raised his head, but saw Zhao Laosi looking at him with a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word.
"You're not going to let me help you settle this, are you?"
Zhao Laosi's face finally showed a satisfied smile, and at the same time, after this smile, there was still some complaint.
"The old man is old, and those promising children in our clan now have a place to go, start a family, and the future road depends on them. The old man still wants to spend a few days in the days of idle clouds and wild cranes. The position of this village chief will be passed on to you today. You resign from the official, and after settling this matter, go back to Zhaojia Village! β
β......β
"The hundreds of miles of land in the village will be yours in the future."
Zhao Shuang didn't understand for a while, was he promoted or demoted?
Zhao Laosi raised his hand and pointed to the railing, where Wei Zhuang was standing and looked at them.
saw him stand up and patted Zhao Shuang's shoulder.
"It's up to you to settle it, the old man and the old guys from Guiguzi also made a chess appointment, so they took the first step."
Zhao Shuang looked at Zhao Laosi with a little incredulity in his eyes.
Listen to his voice, is this planning to retire early?
......
Xiangbang Province.
Lu Buwei was waiting, and in the end he didn't wait for Zhao Laosi, but waited for an extremely handsome young man.
Wei Zhuang followed him with shark teeth, and as soon as they met, he knelt down, kneeling very thoroughly.
"Boss Zhao is really a big face, send your junior to send me away."
"Xiangbang, I said that this matter was conspired by him and the Empress Dowager Huayang. The Empress Dowager Huayang promised to give him a few Zhonglang positions, and let several children of my clan come to Xianyang to be officials. And he encouraged those old guys to sell war horses and a lot of ordnance. β
Lu Buwei didn't expect that before he could speak, the kid in front of him would confess everything.
After all these years, he has never seen someone so cooperative? For a while, Lu Buwei was a little stunned.
"Such a secret, you confide it so quickly, aren't you afraid that Boss Zhao will settle accounts with you?"
"It's okay not to say it, but I'll be angry when I say it. That old guy made so many fat differences, and he didn't give me any of them, and when it came to the end, he didn't dare to come to see Xiangbang and send me to the top pot? β
Zhao Shuang looked angry, snorted lightly, and two white water vapor erupted from his nostrils.
"I am willing to take refuge in Lord Xiangbang from now on, and be a cow and a horse, and I will never complain."
Lu Buwei smiled and looked at Zhao Shuang.
"There is a shortage of a Gong Tong who is waiting for Gong when the old man's mansion is out, are you willing?"
"It's the greatest honor to be able to wipe your ass for Lord Xiangbang!"
As he spoke, Zhao Shuang stood up happily, with a smile on his face.
"Lord Xiangbang wants to be flattering, and the villain will come to serve."
Lu Buwei looked at the brazen appearance of the kid in front of him, and sighed in his heart, but it was a pity that he had such a good appearance, but he was spineless at all.
"Forget it, the old man can't afford it, you can go!"
Lu Buwei said this, Zhao Shuang was not happy.
"No, I can do other things, make the bed and fold the quilt, do the laundry and cook. When it's hot in summer, you can help Xiangbang fan the fan, and when it's cold in winter, you can help Xiangbang cover the quilt. As long as Xiangbang is willing, the villain is a dog in Xiangbang's mansion, driven at will. β
"Get out!"
Lu Buwei shouted, really impatient in his heart.
Wei Zhuang looked at Zhao Shuang, who was cowering and withdrawing, and felt a little sad in his heart.
Purple girl, this is the man you fancied.
