The spring morning light is always so soft, reminding that everything needs to be revived and grow.

Ying Zheng stretched and woke up.

Although the time to sleep is limited, Ying Zheng does not feel sleepy, but feels indescribably happy and relaxed all over his body.

Looking at Princess Nansu beside him, with a full view of the ice muscles and snowy face, Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a trace of nameless fire in his heart, but out of pity for Princess Nansu, Ying Zheng just looked at her quietly.

I don't know if she was too sleepy or quite tired, Princess Nansu slept very peacefully.

Ying Zheng remembered that he had agreed with Lu Buwei yesterday to go to Wenzhuju to meet Sima Hong, so he lifted the quilt and wanted to get up.

Before he got up, Ying Zheng's waist was suddenly surrounded by a pair of smooth and thin hands.

"Nansu, are you awake?" Ying Zheng turned around and asked.

"Your Majesty, are you going out?" Princess Nansu's voice is just as silky.

"Well, the widow wants to go to Wenluo with Lu Xiangbang." Ying Zheng held Princess Nansu's hand and said, "When the widow comes back, let's go and say hello to Grandmother Wang." ”

Princess Nansu smiled and said, "Let's go and restore your life, Your Majesty." ”

"I don't dare to say it." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Grandmother Wang's order is to give her a great-grandson, are you sure you can conceive it soon?" ”

"It's... Who can say for sure, Your Majesty? Princess Nansu said coquettishly, "Besides, even if there is, it doesn't have to be a son, it may be a princess." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Princess Nansu's stomach and said: "Whether it is a man or a woman, they are all the flesh and blood of the widow, and the descendants of the surname Ying, Grandmother Wang will like it." ”

"The concubine hopes to be a prince, so that he will be able to help the king lead the army and strengthen the Qin State in the future." Princess Nansu seemed to be looking forward to a better future, and her eyes blinked and became even more charming.

"The widow also hopes that you can give birth to a son, so that he can protect you in the future." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, why don't you give our future son a name." Princess Nansu said.

The women in the palace, who don't want to give birth to a son quickly, especially the first woman of King Qin, before she could wait for anything, Princess Nansu planned to name the child.

"Well, let the widow think." Ying Zheng said.

Princess Nansu looked at Ying Zheng with burning eyes.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "It's better to call him Fusu." The widow just said, let him protect you, so take one of the words in your name and name him. ”

"Fusu... Help... Sue...," the princess of Nansu muttered.

Ying Zheng smiled and looked at Nansu in his arms, tender as water.

After chanting twice, Princess Nansu suddenly sat up, then turned to the side again, and bowed down: "Thank you for the name of the king, Nansu will not dishonor the king's grace, and give birth to the king's son Fusu as soon as possible." ”

Princess Nansu Bingxue is smart, everything can be learned, how can she not understand the meaning of the name Yingzheng, if she really gave birth to a son, then in the future, whether it is the position of queen or the crown prince, it will be their mother and son.

Ying Zheng hurriedly went to help Princess Nansu, but his eyes were hot, but he was more real than last night, and he couldn't help but have a flame in his heart, and he changed from helping to hugging in an instant.

The quilt that had just been opened was closed again in the blink of an eye.

Thankfully, there were a few ears missing from the door.

-----------

Zhao Gao was left in the Gucheng Palace by Yingzheng, and together with Lu Wen and Lu Wu, he placed the craftsmen who came from Jingyao.

Ying Zheng only took Li Si to Wen Liju.

Lü Buwei, Sima Hong, and Sima Jie have already arrived and are waiting for Yingzheng.

After a few people gave their salutes, they sat down one after another.

Ying Zheng took the lead in asking, "You've been talking for a while?" ”

Lu Buwei arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just entered the door, and he only said hello to Sima and his son. ”

"Then there is no need to be introduced, let's be casual, we are not outsiders." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"It seems that the king is in a very good mood today." Lu Buwei also smiled and said.

"Well, the widow is in a good mood today, and now that he sees Sima and his son, of course he is in a better mood, hehe." Ying Zheng did not hide his happiness.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.

Sima Hong arched his hand and said: "How can the grass people be so virtuous, they can't afford to be so concerned about the king." ”

"I saw Mr. in Mengfu before, but I didn't know that Mr. was the descendant of Sima Cuo's predecessors, it's really disrespectful, tell the widow, what happened to Sima's family back then?" Ying Zheng said with some eagerness.

Sima Hong nodded slightly and said, "Back then, Bai Qi gradually rose to prominence, and he made countless meritorious contributions. My grandfather was approaching his twilight years, so he proposed to the king's ancestor King Zhaoxiang to retire, and the first king agreed to his grandfather's proposal. So my grandfather left the grass people's uncle in the court and became Bai Qi's lieutenant general. ”

"The uncle you are talking about, but Sima Jin?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Exactly." Sima Hong looked at Lü Buwei and said, "And my grandfather and the former king have long had an agreement, except for the uncle, the Sima family has nothing to do with the court, and has been completely hidden in the countryside since then." ”

"Sima Cuo's old-timers are quite prescient, and by doing so, the whole family will not be implicated, nor will the former king be misunderstood." Lu Buwei's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about something.

Sima Hong smiled and said, "As for the matter of the uncle and their family, I think you all know about it later. The grandfather took the second uncle, the aunt, and the father of the grass people into seclusion. When there was a war or a famine, my grandfather would lead my father and them to help the victims, and if there were people who could not survive, my grandfather would give them some money, and in return, the victims would give back their land to my grandfather, and then the family would move. As time went on, my grandfather gradually accumulated more and more land, and it was everywhere, so my grandfather gathered the victims of the disaster, let them cultivate the land, and paid them salaries. ”

"No wonder in recent years, the people have been spreading the story of the Sima family doing good deeds and accumulating virtues." Lu Buwei said suspiciously, "However, Sima Cuo's predecessors are so famous, but the folk do not say that the Sima family who does good deeds is the Sima Co general who is far away from the court and lives in seclusion." ”

Sima Hong said: "At that time, my grandfather was old, and most of the things that came out were fathers, and my father had always lived in the countryside before and had never appeared in the court, not to mention, since my grandfather wanted to hide, how could he not be cautious." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, looking thoughtful.

Sima Jie told him how the cultivated land in various parts of the Sima family was obtained, and he really didn't expect that the source of the Sima family's good deeds was Sima Fault.

"According to the old man, if the land accumulated by the Sima family over the years is added together, it will soon catch up with a small princely country, haha." Lu Buwei said with a smile, "Sima Cuo's predecessor is really clever, don't be rewarded and retire, but in the end he lived the same life as the reward." ”

Sima Hong was a little embarrassed and said, "Lu Xiangbang said he was joking. ”

"Old man is joking, Mr. Sima don't mind." Lu Buwei still smiled, "It seems that the old man wants to learn from Sima's predecessors." ”

Sima Cuo: "......"

"Father Zhong, don't divert the topic, listen to Mr. Sima's continuation." Lu Buwei's words were quite meaningful, and Ying Zheng smiled bitterly.

Lu Buwei suppressed his laughter and made a gesture of please.

Sima Hong cleared his throat and continued: "Later, my grandfather died in old age on the eve of the Battle of Changping. Later, Bai Qi was stabbed to death by King Zhaoxiang, and the uncle Sima Jin was implicated, and the Sima family in the court was cut off. Therefore, his father was even less known to the court, but he only had a connection with a person in the court. ”

"The widow roughly guessed it." Ying Zheng said.

"The old general." Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said.

"Wang Shang and Lu Xiangbang really guessed it." Sima Hong nodded and said, "Actually, it's not my father, but my grandfather has been secretly keeping in touch with General Meng, and warned General Meng Fu to keep a distance from Bai Qi, and finally decided on the relationship between my sister and Meng Wu." ”

"This old minister doesn't understand." Lu Buwei said with a puzzled expression, "Why did General Meng Fu warn General Meng Qi to alienate Bai Qi and avoid trouble, but let his son die with Bai Qi?" ”

Ying Zheng was also a little thoughtful.

"When the grass people were young, they couldn't figure this out, but later they gradually understood what their grandfather did." Sima Hong paused and said, "If all the people stay away from Bai Qi, then on the surface, it may be that Bai Qi is isolated, but Bai Qi, who has a heavy army, will inevitably have a rebellion, and in that case, it will cause chaos in the Qin State." However, if someone was by Bai Qi's side, not only helping Bai Qi to fight, but also supervising Bai Qi's movements, it would be as beneficial as possible for the previous king to control Bai Qi. Therefore, the grandfather left the uncle in the face and placed it next to Bai Qi. ”

But in the end, it cost the lives of Sima Jin's family. and preserved the stability of the court and the lives of more generals. Ying Zheng sighed.

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "Senior Sima Cuo, he is really responsible, he would rather sacrifice his son for the sake of Daqin's society." ”

"If my grandfather wasn't old, I believe my grandfather would have sacrificed himself instead of his children. After all, Bai Qi was difficult to control at that time, and if he couldn't do it, it would backfire. Sima Hong said.

"It was General Sima Jin who did what the Sima family should do instead of Sima Cuo's predecessors, and he would rather take his life than ensure the power of the royal family." Ying Zheng said sadly.

"After all, throughout the ages, there have been a few white people who say that he is murderous, and the old man does not approve of it." Lü Buwei shook his head lightly and said, "Killing people on the battlefield is a meritorious achievement, but killing the soldiers and even the people is moral, and it is even more shameful for the nations. ”

"Presumably, my grandfather also saw the ending of Bai Qi a long time ago, so he formulated this series of plans, and all of this, except for the Sima family, no one knows." Sima Hong said.

"Do you mean that the plan you are talking about includes marrying the Meng family?" Ying Zheng looked at Sima Hong and asked.

"If you say it, the king may not believe it, even Meng Wu doesn't know the specific life experience of the sister, and the sister only knows a rough idea, and has never mentioned it in the Mongolian mansion. Our Sima clan doesn't want to make any achievements in Wen Taowu, but they will not completely abandon the court. The Sima family still has land, food, and money, and when Daqin really encounters a national disaster, the Sima family will definitely stand up and do their part for Daqin. Sima Hong's words were categorical.

"Good!" Ying Zheng sighed, "It is really commendable that the widow has seen the loyalty of the Sima family to Daqin for several generations today. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the dog did something for the king in Wenluoju, presumably these words might end up rotting in the stomach of the grass people, and the Sima family is not a person who likes to invite merit." Sima Hong said.

Sima Jie looked at Sima Hong, and he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Since Sima Jie contributed to the king, and you didn't object, it shows that your Sima family doesn't want to hide anymore, so why don't you reuse Sima Hong." Lü Buwei said to Yingzheng.

"That's what the widow wants." The ability to push the boat along the water, Yingzheng is already familiar with it.

"Since the Sima family has a lot of land now, then the widow ordered Sima Hong to be the superintendent of the grain department, responsible for the collection of taxes and military rations, middle father, do you think it's okay?" Ying Zheng asked Lü Buwei.

"The king." Lu Buwei said.

"The official positions of Sima Hong and Sima Jie's father and son, this can be regarded as a certainty." Ying Zheng said.

"Thank you for your love!" Sima and his son bowed together.

It seems that it is not so difficult to enable some people you trust.
