Chapter 222: Changping-kun's invitation

"Lü Buwei let his son enter the Protector's Mansion and become a scholar?" In Changping Jun's mansion, Xiong Qi couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Xiong Heng's narration from Changwenjun.

The dignified son-in-law of Xiangguo is going to go to the Protector's Mansion to be an official of a thousand stones, what is Lu Buwei going to do?

Could it be that some kind of deal was reached between Yang Ming and Lü Buwei? Xiong Qi hesitated.

If Yang Ming really reached any deal with Lu Buwei and then formed an alliance, then the Chu family behind him and his aunt Empress Dowager Huayang in recent years would inevitably have twists and turns, or even fall short.

The alliance between Ganquan Palace and Xiangguo Mansion is too terrifying, and the King of Qin Zhaoxiang back then, under the pressure of Ganquan Palace, has been in Zhangtai Palace for decades.

And this time, the Chu family pinned their hopes for a comeback on Qin Wangzheng, if Qin Wangzheng became the second King of Qin Zhaoxiang, then these people in their Chu family really have no hope of recovery.

"Today in the court, this matter has been officially confirmed in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and now, I'm afraid that Lu Qi has gone to the Protector's Mansion to take office." Xiong Heng said to Xiong Qi, who had been on leave for personal matters in recent days and had not been able to participate in the court meeting.

"You say, what does Lu Buwei mean by this?" Xiong Qi hesitated.

"I'm afraid I have to see what Yang Ming and the Empress Dowager Zhao behind him mean." Xiong Heng said.

Lu Buwei let his eldest son Lu Qi enter the Protector's Mansion, the deep-seated meaning of this matter, let alone these people from the Chu family, even Qin Wangzheng of Xianyang Palace would be shocked.

"Yang Ming, Yang Ming, it seems that I want to invite him, and find out his details." Xiong Qi groaned.

Perhaps, letting Lu Qi enter the Protector's Mansion was just what Lu Buwei meant, not at all the intention of the Xiangguo Mansion to form an alliance with the Ganquan Palace, and Yang Ming would even think that the Xiangguo Mansion wanted to infiltrate the Protector's Mansion because of this matter, and would be hostile to Lü Buwei.

"It's to find out the details of this middle protector." Xiong Heng affirmed.

In the evening, when Yang Ming took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to go to Ganquan Palace, he met a person in Ganquan Palace who was not too familiar, the newly appointed guard captain Lu Quan.

With the transfer of Xiong Qiping, the king of Changping, to the middle of the imperial history, the post of guard lieutenant became vacant, and Lu Quan, who was originally a county lieutenant in Shangdang County, was transferred to Xianyang and promoted to the post of guard lieutenant.

He is a county lieutenant of Shangdang County, and he can directly cross the position of county guard and become one of the guards of Jiuqing, naturally because he has his own connections, and his connections are the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

Back then, Zhao Ji and Qin Wangzheng, who was still a son, from the first moment Zhao Guo set foot on the land of Qin, the person he saw was Lu Di, who was just a small official in the border city of Qin State at that time.

But in this world, there are people who will encounter unimaginable opportunities in life and be able to seize such opportunities.

And Lu Ji is such a person, although Zhao Ji and Qin Wangzheng at that time were just people who returned from Zhao in a panic, but in Lu Ji's eyes, they were opportunities that he might not be able to encounter again in his life.

Therefore, at that time, he, a border city official who was over fifty years old, decisively seized the opportunity.

Now that so many years have passed, Zhao Ji has become the current Empress Dowager of Qin, and the prince of the year has also become the current Qin Wangzheng, and he Lu Ji, under the care of Zhao Ji, has changed step by step from a small official in the border city to one of the current nine secretaries of the Qin State.

Knowing that he was qualified for the position of Captain of the Guard, the first thing he had to do after coming to Xianyang was naturally to meet his benefactor, the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.

Therefore, Yang Ming was able to meet the new guard captain in Ganquan Palace.

"This is Yang Ming, now he is the Central Protector Army, and he has been busy with the formation of the forbidden army these days, and he can't even see anyone from the mourning family." In the Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ji, who was dressed in formal clothes, introduced Yang Ming to Lu Jidao.

What happened in Zhao back then made Zhao Ji always treat people who were kind to him.

"It turned out to be Yang Hujun, the battle of Yucheng, the world heard the name of Yang Hujun, the battle of Pushui, and the name of Yang Hujun is known to the world, and the old man is also a long-admired name." When Lu Ji, whose hair was already gray, heard this, he hurriedly saluted Yang Ming, although the guard captain was still above the Central Protector Army according to his position, Lu Jian did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Although he himself is ranked in Jiuqing, he is already in the age of sixtieth, and Yang Ming is not yet twenty years old, such a young magnate, he naturally has to make friends with him.

"Wei Wei is new to Xianyang, and if you have the opportunity, you should walk around well." Yang Ming replied.

"Lu Ji, it's not early, you should go back, there are still some things to tell Yang Hujun here." Zhao Ji interrupted the politeness of the two and gave Lu Ji an order to expel the guest.

"Yes."

Since Zhao Ji issued the order to expel the guests, Lu Jian naturally had to leave, but when Lu Ji walked out of Xianyang Palace and boarded his carriage, he couldn't help but have some doubts, it was getting late, and a young man like Yang Ming really had no problem entering and leaving Ganquan Palace?

"When did our Lord Zhonghu have the leisure to come here to mourn his family?" Zhao Ji looked at Yang Ming and said angrily.

"Am I not here every day?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"What can you do in less than a quarter of an hour?" Zhao Ji asked rhetorically.

"Then what else do you want to do, Queen Mother?" Yang Ming said cautiously.

"Pretending to be confused, isn't it? The mourners tell you that the salamander is still in my hands. Zhao Ji threatened.

Recently, Yang Ming has been busy with the affairs of the forbidden army, and has been staying in the military camp of Shanglin Yuan during the day, although when he went home at dusk, he came to Ganquan Palace once, but this did not satisfy Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji is not a Yang Ming who is busy with military affairs all day long.

"Days like this won't be too long, in the initial stage of the forbidden army, there are too many things that need to be busy, and when this period of time passes, everything is on the right track, there will not be so many things." Yang Ming said to Zhao Ji soothingly.

"How long will it take?" Zhao Ji asked.

"By May, it's about the same." Yang Ming estimated.

"It's May, and that's still a long time." Zhao Ji lamented.

"Speaking of which, there's one more thing to do today." Yang Ming shifted.

In Zhao Ji's curious gaze, Yang Ming continued: "Changpingjun invited me to the banquet, well, to his mansion." ”

"Xiong Qi, that person? What does he think of inviting you? Zhao Ji was stunned.

"Then who is right, maybe it's because of Lu Qi's appointment as the chief secretary of the Protector's Mansion, and he wants to test something." Yang Ming analyzed.

"So, you're going?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Changping Jun is still the king's eldest brother, and this face still has to be given to others." Yang Ming said.

"You can go, but there is one thing that the mourning family wants to remind you." Zhao Ji stared at Yang Mingdao.

"Queen Mother, please command."

"It's okay to go to the banquet, but you can't provoke those singers and dancers or something, the mourning family knows that those high-ranking families like to entertain their so-called guests with their own singers and dancers." Zhao Ji said solemnly.

"Am I that kind of person?" Looking at Zhao Ji with a serious face, Yang Ming said with a smile, is this something that the Queen Mother should care about?

"That's not sure, if a beautiful woman says a few flattering words, you men will get carried away and not remember who you are." Zhao Ji sneered.

The dirty things between the high-ranking families are very low, but they are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"I don't care about things that don't belong to me." Yang Ming said that Yang Ming prefers private cars to buses.

"I hope so, let the salamander go back with you tonight." Zhao Ji said uneasily.

"And such a good thing? It seems that I should go out and walk around more in the future. Yang Ming said with a smile.

Zhao Ji didn't have many ways to pinch Yang Ming, and the startled salamander was one of the killer moves, before Yang Ming wanted to bring out the startled salamander from Ganquan Palace, but he had to sign a series of unequal treaties, which was like now, Zhao Ji actually took the initiative to let go.

"You dare." Zhao Jifeng's eyes widened and he said murderously.

"I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is more courageous than me." As Yang Ming spoke, he picked up Zhao Ji: "Just ask, in the world, who dares to hold the Queen Mother like me?" ”

"You...... Damn it. Zhao Ji slammed his fist on Yang Ming's shoulder to show her protest.

"It's so fragrant, if you can wake up with such a fragrance every morning, it's probably the best thing in the world." Yang Ming bowed his head and sniffed lightly around Zhao Ji's neck.

Zhao Ji's neck subconsciously raised, patted Yang Ming's shoulder and said, "You hurry up, don't pour this ecstasy soup into the mourning family, I really think the mourning family is so easy to deceive." “

"This is the Queen Mother, you drove me." Yang Ming put down Zhao Ji and said.

"Get out of here." Zhao Ji smiled angrily.

"Is that how you roll?" Yang Ming jumped and flipped in the air, and his almost supernatural light skills had already made him appear at the entrance of the main hall, leaving only the voice echoing in Zhao Ji's ears.

"Snort." Seeing Yang Ming disappear in his back, Zhao Ji couldn't help but laugh.

Changping Junfu is inherited from his parents, when his father, that is, the current King of Chu Xiong Yuan, was a hostage in the Qin State, the then King of Qin Zhaoxiang, married his daughter to Xiong Yuan at that time, so there is now Changping Jun Xiong Qi, and whether it is the prince of Chu, or the identity of the son-in-law of the King of Qin, Xiong Yuan at that time was quite popular in the Qin State, therefore, the mansion where he lived was naturally extraordinary.

Although Xiong Yuan later abandoned his family and children, fled back to Chu State, and inherited the throne of Chu, this mansion was still left in the hands of Xiong Qi, that is, the princess of Qin, and now, the princess has passed away, and Xiong Qi has become the owner here.

On this night, the middle door of Changping Jun's mansion was wide open, and Xiong Qi, who was the owner, personally came to the outside of the mansion to greet Yang Ming, which can be said to have given Yang Ming enough face.
