Chapter 179: The First Emperor's Cub

Just when Cai Ze and Chu formed an alliance, Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered a big event: Where is Qin Shi Huang now?

In terms of time, Qin Shi Huang is only a few months old at most.

When Qin Yiren returned to China, Zhao Ji was already about to give birth, and he couldn't stand the fatigue of traveling and driving, so it was impossible to return to Qin with Qin Yiren.

And according to the city gate order, there was no woman in the car when Qin Yiren returned to China.

In other words, Qin Shi Huang is still in the Zhao State!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo immediately sent Liu Ping to find Zhao Ji.

In this battle of Shangdang, Qin failed to defeat Zhao, and the 400,000 soldiers of Zhao were not killed by Bai Qikeng, and the contradictions between Qin and Zhao did not break out to the point of irreconcilability, so Zhao Wangdan did not order the arrest of Zhao Ji's mother and son.

After Zhao Kuo became King Zhao, he had a bunch of things to deal with every day, and after he was busy, he put this matter behind him, and he didn't think about it until he was idle now.

Now Liu Ping's intelligence organization has long been different, not only covering the entire Zhao State, but also major cities in other countries have strongholds, and any disturbance in Handan City will be discovered.

"Your lord, your subordinates have found Zhao Ji." It didn't take long for Liu Ping to rush back and say.

"Take me there." Zhao Kuo said.

Liu Ping was a little puzzled as to why Zhao Kuo was suddenly interested in this woman named Zhao Ji, but he didn't ask much, just led the way in front.

When Zhao Kuo met Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was carrying the child on her back to wash clothes by the river.

Zhao Ji was born in a wealthy family in Zhao State, but unfortunately her family fell later, so she could only be a dancing girl, otherwise it would be impossible to be a concubine for a businessman in Lü Buwei.

In these years, the so-called concubines are actually high-level maids, who can be given away at will.

Sure enough, she was later given to Qin Yiren by Lu Buwei.

When Qin Yiren was there, no matter what, he was still the proton of the Qin State. Even if Zhao Guo didn't like him anymore, it was impossible to starve him. Not to mention that there is also Lu Buwei's big money to support one or two from time to time, Zhao Ji's life is still very nourishing.

Before Qin Yiren, a negative man, left, Lü Buwei placed her in the house of a friend named Yi.

Yi took very good care of her, not only arranged for her to serve her, but also specially invited a doctor for her to take care of her every day.

However, with the news of Qin's defeat, Yi's attitude towards her changed dramatically in an instant, not only removing all the doctors and subordinates, but also often scolding her, demanding that she must work in the mansion to support herself.

In desperation, Zhao Ji, who had just given birth, could only endure her physical discomfort and help everyone in the house wash their clothes and serve tea and water.

During this time, Zhao Ji deeply realized what it means to send people under the fence.

She looked forward to Qin Yiren sending someone to pick her up every day. However, she couldn't wait for Qin Yiren's frame, but waited for the news of Zhao's defeat of the Five Kingdoms.

After the news came, Yi directly kicked her out of the house.

Zhao Ji finally understood what it meant to be a businessman seeking profit.

In the past, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak, and Yi hoped to gain the favor of Yiren through himself and get in touch with Qin Guo.

Now that Qin Yiren has been delaying taking her back, Yi thinks that Yiren has abandoned her.

After all, she is just a concubine, and after Yiren returns to Qin, she can have countless concubines.

Coupled with Zhao Qiang and Qin Weak, Yisheng was afraid of offending Zhao Guo because of her, so he expelled her from the mansion.

In this era, Zhao Ji is a woman who has no support, and she has a child, even if the cash-for-work for the construction of the college outside Handan City does not want her.

Forced into desperation, Zhao Ji could only take refuge with a friend she knew when she was a dancing girl before, and with the help of her friends, she went to a nobleman's mansion to help the nobles wash clothes to make a living, and she survived to this day.

Zhao Ji saw a group of armor soldiers suddenly appear behind him, and hurriedly held the child in his arms, stood up in a panic, retreated into the water with one foot, and looked at Zhao Kuo and the others in fear.

Her instincts told her that the identity of the group of people in front of her was beyond her imagination.

"I'm Zhao Kuo." Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji is very beautiful, even if she is dressed in coarse linen clothes, and her palms have become extremely rough because of soaking in cold water and beating the mallet for a long time, it is still difficult to hide her peerless face, under the timid expression, a pair of fox eyes and beautiful eyes are flowing, seducting people's souls, no wonder they will be favored by Lu Buwei and Qin Yiren.

Although Zhao Ji has a promiscuous private life in history, it is undeniable that she is a good mother. Even in the most difficult and helpless time, Yingzheng was not abandoned, and he was raised with hard work, which led to the later First Emperor.

If Zhao Ji had abandoned Yingzheng at the beginning, it was very likely that the entire history of China would have been rewritten.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and after a few breaths, he remembered that Zhao Kuo was the current monarch of Zhao Guoguo, and he didn't care about the mud by the river, so he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Grass people...... The daughter of the people pays a visit to the king. ”

"Get up, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Zhao Kuo said softly.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the mother of the dignified emperor would have to rely on washing clothes for others to make a living.

Zhao Ji held the child in her arms, stood up slowly, and looked at the armor soldiers around her with fear, and the bright armor pieces were a little dazzling.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and all the armor soldiers dispersed with a "whoosh", retreating to a hundred meters away, with their backs to Zhao Kuo.

"You come up first." Zhao Kuo said helplessly, is he so scary?

Zhao Ji walked up from the river.

"Your man is Qin Yiren?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Right...... Right. Zhao Ji's voice trembled a little, for fear that Zhao Kuo would execute himself because of Qin Yiren.

Even if the news is not well-informed, she knows that the two countries of Qin and Zhao have been on the same side over the years.

"When he returned to Qin, he left you in Zhao like this?" Zhao Kuo scolded in his heart, Qin Yiren is really not a thing, robbing other people's daughters-in-law and abandoning his wife and children.

"It wasn't like ......this at first," Zhao Ji seemed to see that Zhao Kuo had no malicious intentions, and her nervous mood gradually calmed down, and she told her what had happened during this time.

"Liu Ping." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"The minister is here." Liu Ping bowed and said.

"Go and find out if this businessman named Yi has any connection with the Qin State." Zhao Kuo said.

"Obey." Liu Ping immediately understood what Zhao Kuo meant, and led some people to leave.

Zhao Ji opened her mouth to stop it, but suddenly thought of what Yi had done to her, but she didn't speak, and she didn't think that Zhao Kuo would listen to her.

"Can you show me your baby?" Zhao Kuo said softly.

Zhao Ji hesitated, but handed it over. If Zhao Kuo really wanted to kill their mother and son, he didn't need to be so troublesome at all.

Zhao Kuo looked at the First Emperor in his arms, who was still a few months old, his face was wrinkled, not fully opened, a little ugly, his eyes were closed, his left thumb was in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.

Except for Zhao Kuo, I am afraid that there will be no second person in the world who will believe that this child will become the greatest emperor in Chinese history in the future.

If the First Emperor is regarded as an enemy, Zhao Kuo seems to be strangled in the cradle, but Zhao Kuo can't bear it no matter what.

It's not just that the current First Emperor is still a child. It is also because of Zhao Kuo's admiration for the First Emperor in his heart.

"Do you have a name?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Ji.

"Not yet." Zhao Ji said.

"Let's call it politics." Zhao Kuo said.

"Huh?" Zhao Ji didn't hear clearly.

"Ying's surname is Zhao, Gongzizheng." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.

ps: It is said that the ancients did not marry with the same surname, how can Yiren and Zhao Ji be regarded as having the same surname, and it can even be said that they have the same surname and the same name.
