Chapter 222: The Purpose of the Qin State
Lü Buwei left, leaving with endless anger!
Rao used his experience, and he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to be able to say such things without being straightforward.
He had never seen such a brazen person!
"Alas, in the future, the name of a Zhao thief will not be able to escape." Zhao Kuo looked at Lu Buwei's back and sighed deeply.
"King, there are thousands of women in the world, and there are many handsome people, so there is no need for the king to do this." Liu Ping hesitated, stepped forward and leaned over and said.
"You don't understand." Zhao Kuo shook his head, there was no explanation, and this kind of thing could not be explained.
"But the king's move will not only attract the hatred of the Qin State, but also cause criticism from the world's scholars." Liu Ping said.
"The hatred of the Qin State? Didn't the Qin State hate me Zhao before? As for the criticism of the world's scholars, hehe, how is this king compared to Qi Huan Gong and Tian Chengzi? This king is just one more woman, and there is neither coercion nor inducement. Why not be afraid of the criticism of the world's scholars? ”
Zhao Kuo laughed, got up and walked towards the harem.
"Ugh."
Liu Ping sighed and had no choice but to stop persuading.
"The King." Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Kuo's face was as usual, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly walked up to meet her, and said in a coquettish voice.
"Lü Buwei is gone." Zhao Kuo hugged Zhao Ji and said.
He ...... What did you do with the king? Zhao Ji asked cautiously, and then hurriedly said: "The concubine has no other meaning, I just want to ask, if the king is inconvenient, ......"
"It's nothing, he wants to take your mother and son back to Qin." Zhao Kuo said.
"The king won't want to send Zhao Ji back to Qin." Zhao Ji said worriedly, and her weak body looked even weaker.
"Don't you want to go back to Qin?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Ji's eyes.
"The concubine wants to stay in Zhao Kingdom and accompany the king." Zhao Ji whispered.
Compared with the unfamiliar Qin State, she naturally prefers the familiar Zhao State.
If she was as poor as before, and Lü Buwei came to pick her up, she would definitely happily follow Lü Buwei back to Qin.
But she is doing very well now, whether it is Zhao Kuo or Yan's taking good care of her, Yan's preparing gifts for other daughters-in-law will also prepare one for her, and treat her equally.
Although An Ning and the others were not as close to her as sisters, they did not exclude her, Zhao Ji was already very satisfied with this, such a life was a hundred times better than before.
In addition, Zhao Ji still has some resentment in her heart about Yiren and Lü Buwei abandoning her at the beginning, especially after being admitted to the palace by Zhao Kuo, the resentment is even greater.
What people are most afraid of is comparison, and Zhao Kuo, a stranger, helped her in her most difficult time. Yiren and Lü Buwei left her when she was pregnant and needed someone to take care of her the most.
And whether it is identity, status or ability, Zhao Kuo is above Yiren and Lu Buwei, and Zhao Ji is naturally more inclined to Zhao Kuo in his heart.
"I refuse Lu Buwei." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"Thank you, concubine." Zhao Ji said movingly.
"Okay, mother told us to come over for dinner at noon, you prepare first, and then go over with this king." Zhao Kuo said.
"Hmm." Zhao Ji nodded.
……
This is an inconspicuous house, which used to be Lü Buwei's residence in Handan, and he was in a hurry to return to Qin and did not have time to sell it, and now it is just left for Prince Zhu to live in.
"King Zhao didn't agree?" Prince Zhu looked at Lu Buwei, who was angrily pushing the door in, and asked strangely.
It stands to reason that King Zhao shouldn't have a hard time with Qin in such a trivial matter.
"Didn't agree." Lu Buwei said what happened in the hall with a gloomy face.
"King Zhao is still too young, even if he has the talent to reach the heavens and latitudes, he will inevitably be tempted by beauty. This is a good thing for my Qin State, after returning to China, I will immediately report to my father and select some beautiful women in Qin State to give to King Zhao. ”
Prince Zhu said with a smile.
As long as there is a weakness, it is easy to do, and I am afraid that there is no weakness.
As for Zhao Ji's mother and son, Prince Zhu didn't care.
He has more than 20 sons, and even more daughters, and he doesn't even care about strangers, let alone his daughter-in-law and grandson, whom he has never met.
If it weren't for Mrs. Huayang's reminder, he would have almost forgotten that there was a son called Yiren.
In his opinion, it is already very cost-effective to use Zhao Ji's mother and son to test Zhao Kuo's weaknesses.
At first, the minister also thought that King Zhao was just in love with Zhao Ji, so he proposed to only bring the child back to Qin, and Zhao Ji to stay in Zhao. But King Zhao refused. Still...... Let me also bring a message to the king and grandson, saying, 'Thou son of you, I love him very much'!" ”
Lu Buwei's face was gloomy as water, the green tendons on his forehead bulged high like the roots of a tree, his hands were clenched into fists, and his nails were embedded in the flesh and blood.
After living for so many years, he has never been so insulted!
"I'm afraid that if he thinks that if he grasps a child, he will seize the handle of my Qin State. Hehe, that's naïve. One day he will regret leaving my descendants of the Qin State in the Zhao State. Prince Zhu sneered.
Once the war machine is launched, it will not change for anyone, even if the opponent is a prince or grandson.
Lu Buwei didn't speak, he always felt that things were not so simple, but he couldn't understand why Zhao Kuo had to ignore his reputation and leave Zhao Ji's mother and son in Zhao State.
Just to disgust the Inhumans and the Qin State? It would be child's play.
"I will report this to my father." Prince Zhu waved his hand and said, which can be regarded as exposing the matter.
Picking up Zhao Ji's mother and son back to Qin was only one of the purposes of their trip, and it couldn't delay other things because of it.
"No." Lu Buwei arched his hand and said, "By the way, when the minister came back just now, I saw King Han's frame. ”
"King Han is here too! Hehe, it's just a marriage, and there are two monarchs who came over in person, which really deserves to be King Zhao. Prince Zhu sneered.
This kind of treatment was previously only enjoyed by the Qin State.
"By the way, have you found out where the envoys of Yan, Qi, and Chu live?" Prince Zhu asked.
This time they came to Handan for five purposes, the first was to participate in Zhao Kuo's wedding. The second is to find a famous doctor to treat Prince Zhu's illness. The third is to pick up Zhao Ji's mother and son. The fourth is to establish deeper ties with Yan and Qi. The fifth is to find a way to damage the relations between Zhao and several other countries.
"The envoys of the Yan Kingdom live in the official residence, their monarch has just died, and the new monarch will not be able to ascend the throne until next year. didn't dare to provoke Zhao Guo, so he came half a month ago. Qi Guo needs to send a ceremonial official to discuss the wedding process with Zhao Guo, and he has already come. There is no news from the state of Chu yet. Lü Buwei said.
These things are not secrets at all, and you can find out about them by throwing a handful of copper coins on the street, and there is no difficulty in finding out.
"Prepare a gift and follow me to meet the envoy of the Yan Kingdom." Prince Zhu got up and said.
"It's too risky, let's let the minister go to see the envoy of Yan Kingdom alone." Lu Buwei was shocked in his heart and said with his hand.
In case Prince Zhu had an accident in Handan, he would inevitably be implicated, and even if he was not ordered to be killed by King Qin, it would be impossible for him to be reused.
