Chapter 54: Strike
When Qin Qing took Zhao Ji back to the room, Xiu'er and the orphan girl Zheng Zixiao were also in her room. When Qin Qing saw Zheng Zixiao, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly wondered in his heart that Xiu'er trusted her too much. When her identity is not known, she can't let her listen to talking to Zhao Ji about things. So he asked Xiu'er and Zheng Zixiao to prepare a pot of hot tea and send them out. When Xiu'er brought hot tea, Qin Qing carefully told her to stay at the door and not let the third person approach, and then close the door.
"Since the inn has been taken over by the young lady, why should you be so cautious?" After Zhao Ji arrived at the inn, she saw that the Yunlai inn was full of Qin Qing's guards and guests, but she didn't know that the inn had already been bought by her, so she thought that the inn was chartered by her.
Qin Qing picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Ji, and explained: "If it were normal, Qin Qing might not do it again. But that Zheng Zixiao just now was the orphan girl who was rescued in the bazaar this afternoon, and the origin has not yet been ascertained, how dare Qin Qing risk the safety of his wife and son. Qin Qing's words, the first half of the sentence is the truth, but the second half of the sentence is to please Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is the biological mother of Qin Shi Huang, the future queen mother, and it is always beneficial and harmless to pat her on the back.
Zhao Ji was quite useful when she heard Qin Qing say this, thinking that she was really thinking about her own safety, and looked at her with a little more appreciation in her eyes: "It's rare that the young lady is so young and so thoughtful. On that day, the young lady said that she would help my mother and son return to Qin, and Zheng'er would ascend to the throne, Zhao Ji saw that the young lady was young, thinking that it was just a child's joke, and she was offended by her words, and she hoped that the young lady would have a lot of adults, and she would not be as knowledgeable as Zhao Ji. β
Qin Qing didn't take it seriously that Zhao Ji was apologizing to her, and said with a slight smile: "Mrs. Zhao is polite, since Qin Qing said it, he will definitely do his best!" At the beginning, the Qin family was weak, and they did not have the ability to take his wife, mother and son back to Qin, and until today, they were barely able to fulfill half of Qin Qing's original promise. It's just that the other half, with the meager strength of the Qin family, can't do it, and someone needs to help. β
Zhao Ji heard Qin Qing say that there was nothing she could do, her coquettish face was full of disappointment, and she heard her say that she needed someone to help her succeed, a pair of beautiful eyes shot an eager light, and she asked urgently, "Who do you need help?" β
Qin Qing said softly: "Lu Buwei, Lord Lu! β
"Since the young lady needs Lu Buwei's help, just go to him directly, what's the use of telling Zhao Ji about this?" When Zhao Ji heard Lu Buwei's name, there was a hint of stiffness in her tone, and her face was slightly ugly.
Qin Qing listened to her bad tone, but he didn't care, and played with the teacup in his hand: "Madame's words are wrong, it's not Qin Qing who needs Lu Buwei's help, even if Qin Qing comes to the door to ask for a meeting in person, it will only be a trip in vain." β
"What does the young lady mean......" Zhao Ji vaguely guessed Qin Qing's meaning in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it.
Things have come to this point, and it doesn't seem to make much sense to talk around the bend again. Qin Qing decided not to waste any more time, put down the teacup, and directly told Zhao Ji: "Since it is for the throne of Gongzizheng, it is natural for Mrs., who is a mother, to find him in person." β
"I'm not going!" Zhao Ji's beautiful face looked uncertain, and she seemed to have a hatred for Lu Buwei: "Can't you ask someone else for help?" β
"Looking for someone else?" Qin Qing chuckled: "Mrs. Zhao has lived in Zhao Country for a long time, and she doesn't seem to know much about the situation in Xianyang. Qin Qing can dare to say that if he were someone else, the prince would definitely not be able to sit on the throne. β
Zhao Ji seemed to be a little unconvinced of Qin Qing's statement, and asked with a hint of luck in his heart: "In the Qin State government and the opposition, there are countless people with higher official positions than Lu Buwei, he can do it, why can't other ministers." β
Although Zhao Ji is a little more scheming than a few years ago, after all, she has lived in the depths of Zhao's mansion for a long time, and she still doesn't know anything about the government and the opposition. Qin Qing sighed deeply, and then asked, "Madam thinks, why did King Zhuang Xiang ascend to the throne?" β
"That is naturally with the support of Lu Buwei, who scattered his money to buy people's hearts for him." After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Qing meaningfully.
Qin Qing knew that she was reminding herself, thinking that since she wanted to support Zhao Zheng and get a backstage for the Qin family, she should spread her wealth for him, follow the example of Lu Buwei, and buy the ministers of the court. God is pitiful, she has not only scattered a lot of money to save their mother and son over the years, but also stirred into the muddy waters that cannot be escaped, and if she is not careful, she may lose the lives of the entire family. It's just that there are some things that can't be done by spending money.
Qin Qing ignored her voice, and asked, "Madame, do you know how King Zhuang Xiang ascended to the throne back then, and how he died of poisoning now." β
"Three years ago, shortly after King Xiaowen ascended the throne, he was poisoned by traitors, and Yiren had been named the crown prince at that time, so he naturally came to succeed him." Although Zhao Ji didn't understand why Qin Qing asked these well-known things, he still told the truth what he had heard in Zhao State in recent years: "Two generations of Qin kings were poisoned to death, and Zhao Ji was far away in Zhao State, although he had heard about it, but he didn't know it so clearly. β
"Since Madame doesn't understand, Qin Qing might as well tell Madame bluntly, since someone can lift him up, he can naturally pull him down!" Qin Qing saw that Zhao Ji didn't understand the meaning of her question, so he had to tell her directly. Zhao Ji couldn't believe it after hearing this, and stood up suddenly, as if a little excited: "You said these are all Lu Buwei's conspiracy?" This is impossible, since he has spent all his money to help strangers, how can he kill him. β
"That's because King Zhuang Xiang is snubbing him and gradually getting out of his control." Qin Qing's words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the truth.
Zhao Ji turned pale after hearing this, and sat on the seat paralyzed, silent for a long time. Seeing her like this, Qin Qing felt a little unbearable in her heart, but the truth is often cruel, if she still wants to enter the Xianyang Palace and sit on the phoenix chair in the harem, the sooner these things are understood, the sooner she can carry out the following plans.
"How so? How so! Zhao Ji muttered to herself, she was very devastated, and she looked depressed, which made Qin Qing feel that what she had just said was too cruel to her.
Qin Qing poured out the cold tea in Zhao Ji's teacup, poured another cup of hot tea into her hand, and let her drink it. Then seven years ago, on the way back from Zhao, he picked up the Heshi wall and presented it to Ying Zichu in exchange for a pardon, including transactions and confessions with Ying Zichu. Just carefully concealed his deliberate approach to her, as well as Jing Ke's theft of He's bi.
Her move was not impulsive, if Zhao Ji promised her to beg LΓΌ Buwei, she might learn from LΓΌ Buwei's mouth about her original dedication in the future. If you suspect that she is approaching the Zhao Mansion because of this, she will definitely have suspicions against her, then the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to say it yourself, but to be honest.
After listening to Qin Qing's words, Zhao Ji thought for a long time before asking, "What does the young lady want Zhao Ji to do?" β
