Chapter 80: Talismans
"Lu Buwei refused, he said that Yiren and Yingzheng ascended the throne, and that slut had made a lot of efforts, and now getting rid of her is equivalent to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." Zhao Ji said resentfully: "Although he said that he should be crowned, I know that he must have an affair with that slut, otherwise he would not defend her so much." As soon as these words came out, Qin Qing felt that the air was sour.
Although she often enters the palace and goes to the harem to visit Zhao Ji, she spends most of her time with Ying Zheng and never asks about the harem. I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between Lu Buwei and the Empress Dowager Huayang, but I don't know if Zhao Ji is telling the truth, or if she is a woman because of jealousy.
Qin Qing saw that Zhao Ji was becoming more and more careless when he spoke, his eyes swept a glance at the maid who was following Zhao Ji, and then reminded: "Does the Queen Mother have real evidence?" Qin Qing knew that the Queen Mother hated the Queen Mother Huayang, but some things were probably chasing after the wind and shadows, so I can't believe it, right? ”
It was not only her and Zhao Ji who were present, but also Xiu'er and the two maids who followed Zhao Ji, Xiu'er was naturally worthy of her trust, but she didn't know the details of the maids. Harem battles have always been divided into factions, and Infernal Affairs is the most common, so she is extremely careful when she speaks, lest tonight's conversation will spread out until tomorrow.
"That slut not only pesters Lu Buwei, but also keeps a male book in the palace, which is a well-known fact in the palace!" Zhao Ji snorted coldly and squinted at the two maids: "Don't worry about them, if you have been with me for so long, you naturally know what to say and what not to say!" In a blink of an eye, he looked at Qin Qing again, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction: "The young lady can rest assured now!" ”
Even so, Qin Qing still didn't want to be waded into this troubled water. \\\\\\ she said resolutely: "Please forgive the Queen Mother, this matter is very important, and Qin Qing has nothing to do." It's getting late, Qin Qing should go back, and ask the Queen Mother to rest early. "She thinks that the harem is a place of right and wrong, and the sooner she leaves, the better.
"You really don't want to?" Zhao Jixin still held on to a glimmer of hope, and continued to ask: "Why not, if there is trouble, this palace can help you solve it." ”
For the latter sentence, Qin Qing automatically ignored it. Although Zhao Ji is the queen mother of a country. But in the Qin State, she has no power and power, and she has to be subject to Huayang in the harem, if it is not for Lu Buwei to rely on, it will be difficult to protect herself, how can she have the ability to help her again. ****
Seeing that she didn't give up, Qin Qing had no choice but to tell the truth: "A few days ago, Qin Qing was assassinated by someone while swimming in the lake and stepping on the snow with his family. The Queen Mother should have heard of it. It has not yet been ascertained who instructed the Assassins, and the danger is at stake. How dare you make enemies again at this time? ”
"That's it." Zhao Ji sighed heavily, waved his hand and said to Qin Qing: "It's difficult for the young lady in this palace, it's getting late." The young lady will go back and rest first. Zhao Ji saw that Qin Qing was resolute and did not make any more difficulties. After seeing through the warmth and coldness of people over the years, she is no longer the delicate female book in Handan back then, and she knows that this harem battle is not worth letting Qin Qing risk to help her. =starter=Qin Qing, who returned home, lay on the bed and recalled what Zhao Ji had just said, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Looking at the scene of tonight's banquet, I feel that what Zhao Ji said is true. Huayang had an arrogant attitude, and he really didn't take her seriously. Huayang is just a widow with no family background and no children's books to rely on, and if she dares to be so arrogant in the harem, she must have something to rely on. The only man who can enter and leave the harem freely is Lu Buwei. One is a pretty widow whose husband died early, and the other is an uncle who is beautiful in the year, and the two still have interests. It is not enough to involve men and women from time to time.
It's just for Zhao Ji. Huayang still has a male pet in the palace, she is puzzled. Lü Buwei is a man. It was not uncommon for a man, especially in ancient times, to have multiple women at the same time, even if he didn't love them. But even if you don't love, you won't tolerate your own woman and other men at the same time.
According to Zhao Ji, Huayang's raising male pets is a well-known thing, I believe Lu Buwei must know, but what is the reason why he is so tolerant of Huayang? While Qin Qing was meditating, his mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of a figure who had not yet come out.
According to historical records, Zhao Ji demanded too much from Lü Buwei because of loneliness, and after Yingzheng gradually took over power, Lü Buwei was afraid that the matter with Zhao Ji would be disturbed by Yingzheng, so he found a male book called Zhao Ji from the market and gave it to Zhao Ji, and he gradually stayed away from Zhao Ji. It's just a tool for Lu Buwei to get out, could it be that the male book in Huayang Palace was also specially arranged by Lu Buwei?!
Thinking of this, Qin Qing's heart was cold: such a ruthless man, using the mentality of the deep palace nüshu who was alone in the empty boudoir and impatient with loneliness, to seduce them into the trap and achieve their own goals. When they are useless to themselves, and even a burden, they also take advantage of their impatient loneliness and abandon them like clogs. No wonder Lu Buwei didn't let Zhao Ji deal with Huayang in advance, because he had already had the intention of abandoning this chess book, not because he didn't want to deal with it, but because the time had not come, Zhao Ji intervened in this redundant move.
Maybe it won't be long before Zhao Ji gets the power she wants, but the cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook! When she has no use value, she will get the same fate, but unfortunately Zhao Ji may not understand this truth.
After figuring out what happened to Huayang, Qin Qing began to have a feeling of resistance to the palace, even though she was very eager to see Yingzheng, but when she thought about entering the palace, she would see Zhao Ji, and she was suddenly afraid of entering the palace.
In her eyes, no matter how prominent Zhao Ji or Huayangdi are, they are just poor women who are about to be abandoned by men. Although she is also a female scholar, she really wants to change their fate, but she really can't do anything but watch it happen. Especially Zhao Ji, this nüshu was abandoned by Lü Buwei twice in history. Qin Qing didn't have a bad impression of Zhao Ji, and she was Ying Zheng's biological mother, she was afraid that when she saw Zhao Ji again, she couldn't help but tell her about the future and let her stay away from Lu Buwei. =Starter=It's just that she knows it in her heart, even if she says it, Zhao Ji won't believe it.
At the same time that Qin Qing was in a tangle, Yingzheng sent an internal servant to invite her into the palace. Qin Qing hesitated slightly, she couldn't be a person who was choking, she couldn't go into the palace to see Yingzheng because she was afraid of facing Zhao Ji, and finally chose to sit in the carriage with the waiter.
Watching Qin Qing walk into the study, Ying Zheng's eyes were full of longing, and he pulled her over and smiled softly: "I heard that the waiter said that you entered the palace a few days ago, but I haven't seen you come to me." Ying Zheng's tone was normal, but Qin Qing heard his complaints, felt guilty about him, and secretly blamed himself for not avoiding him for Zhao Ji's affairs.
"Didn't I come for you?" Qin Qing said quite embarrassedly: "When I entered the palace a few days ago, I was supposed to tell Zheng'er a good news, but when I was passing through the garden, I met the Empress Dowager Zhao, and then I was dragged by the Empress Dowager to the banquet of the Empress Dowager Huayang. It was late at night at the end of the banquet, thinking that Zheng'er might have fallen asleep, so he took Xiu'er directly back to the house and didn't bother again. ”
"What's the good news?" Hearing the good news, Ying Zheng's expression was very expectant, and he boldly guessed: "But the news from Lishan?" ”
Qin Qing nodded with a smile: "Uncle Yu sent a letter from Lishan, and finally they worked tirelessly to finally find the source of Dansha ore. ”
"This is good news, even if the Lishan Mine Source has been found, we can slowly accumulate money as planned, and I now have to figure out how to recover the talisman. \\\\\\" Yingzheng's tone brought out the determination to win, and his eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.
Seeing that he was so confident, Qin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Does Zheng'er have a specific plan?" ”
"No" Ying Zheng shook his head and slowly explained: "There are two talismans, one is dispatched to the internal guard forbidden army, and it is in the hands of Lü Buwei; The other can be dispatched to the Qin generals, in the hands of the general Mengwu. General Meng wants to defend the border, and I have no intention of taking back his talisman. As long as the soldiers of the forbidden army are still in Lu Buwei's hands, I will not be able to sleep and eat every day. ”
She had heard of Meng Wu's name, although he was not as famous as his father Meng Wei, but he was also a wise and brave general. The reason why she knows so much detail is due to the movie "Myth", the prototype of the male protagonist of the movie is Meng Wu's children's book - Meng Tian, played by Jackie Chan. After watching it, she liked the actor of the film, and deliberately checked the historical information on the website, Meng Wu has two children's books - Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who will become Yingzheng's right-hand man in the future.
"General Mengwu is loyal to the King of Qin?" In Qin Qing's impression, Meng Tian and Meng Yi are both Yingzheng's right-hand men, and their fathers should be the same.
"No, the Meng family is only loyal to the Qin State." Although Ying Zheng said it succinctly, Qin Qing understood the meaning of his words, as long as the people of Qin were healthy and the enemy country did not attack, no matter who sat on the throne of Qin, the Meng family did not care. At present, it seems that the Meng family is a standing! It seems that the talisman in Lu Buwei's hand is a must-have!
Now the world is chaotic, there are often wars between the seven kingdoms, and the army led by Meng Wu is a lock for Qin, as long as he leads the troops, he will be able to repel the enemy army in the future. However, the talisman in Lu Buwei's hand is a sharp blade, and the slightest mistake will insert it into Ying Zheng's heart and give a fatal blow. If you don't take back Lü Buwei's forbidden army talisman, even if Meng Wu has the heart to fight Yingzheng, it will be far away from the water to save the fire, and the withdrawal of the border army will easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and with the position of the Meng family, this kind of thing will definitely not happen.
Lu Buwei must also understand this reason, he has been in the government and the opposition for so many years, it is impossible not to fight the idea of Mengwu's talisman, but getting rid of Mengwu is not good for the Qin State, and Mengwu's talisman is not hindering him, so he didn't do it. Although Lü Buwei is a sinister and cunning businessman, it is undeniable that he does have the talent to govern the country, and he does not spoil the overall situation for small profits.
Now that he has relinquished the power of the treasury, he will definitely not let go of the forbidden army easily, and it seems that Yingzheng's road to recovering the military talisman is not easy to take. Qin Qing thought for a long time and said slowly: "Zheng'er, Sister Qing has an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible. ”
