The wedding team drove on the road to Xianyang, and what they saw along the way made Wei Envoy have an unforgettable scene.

Grain is hung under the eaves of every house, wheat straw is piled up in the corners of the house, wheat is dried on the flat ground, little babies are running around in the countryside, and men and women are mulberry.

The villagers and neighbors were in harmony, farming and mulberry farming, building houses and roads, and officials took the lead in walking in the fields and inspecting agricultural work in person.

Li Chang and Pavilion Chief, the officials in charge of the work in the township of the Qin State, can be seen in the fields, mountains, and river ditches.

There are also county magistrates who wear official robes and can sit in the position of a county, and they do not live in the yamen, but personally go to the streets and alleys to inquire about the people's livelihood.

The thriving scene of the Qin State was displayed in the eyes of these Wei people, making them understand that the Qin State was really as the Qin envoy said, disbanding the military service and conscripting husbands, encouraging agriculture and mulberry to have children, and exempting taxes for three years.

The people of the Qin State have become rich and strong, and this scene will continue for two years, and how rich the people of the Qin State will be by then.

The wedding team returned to Xianyang City after ten days, and Yan Yan came to Xianyang to report the news when he was still thirty miles away from Xianyang.

Xianyang was already a red spirit, and the news that Cai Ze and Yan Yan came one after another made Xianyang City understand that their Wang Yingzheng was about to marry the bride, and the Qin State was about to usher in the queen and concubine, which was a great joy for the Qin State.

Ying Zheng went out of the city to greet Yan Yan and greet Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wei.

Ying Zheng looked at the red that appeared first at the end of the road, and ordered the etiquette and the band to start playing.

The etiquette and bands of the two sides blended with each other, playing joy together, and in the red, Ying Zheng in black court clothes stood at the front of the team, looking for a familiar figure.

Yan Yan, dressed in black, appeared in front of the carriage and walked down the horse ladder towards Yingzheng.

Behind, the door of a carriage covered with red knots and red gauze was opened a gap, and a pair of eyes looked at Ying Zheng's tall body.

Then she saw a very shocking scene, and saw that the tall king first saluted the wizened man, completely out of the scope of the salute, and the man did not evade it, and accepted the salute.

Yan Yan received Ying Zheng's disciple ceremony, and after Ying Zheng got up, Yan Yan saluted and said, "The minister greets the king." ”

Ying Zheng helped Yan Yan, and now he is taller than Yan Yan.

Ying Zheng: "The teacher is fortunate. ”

Yan Yan "is a minister, for the monarch to share worries, and to do his duty." ”

Ying Zheng" The teacher laid out the abyss, worked in person, and ran around for the disciples, and the disciples were ashamed. ”

Yan Yan: "King Xie." ”

Lü Buwei saluted, "Taishi." ”

Yan Yan returned the gift "Xiangguo worked hard, and in the next way, what I saw along the way was mostly shocking, and it took a lot of effort to come to Xiangguo." ”

Lü Buwei's "Taishi has a reputation, these are all things that are not Wei's duty, as the Taishi said, his duty is also." ”

Ying Zheng said, "Okay, let's go back to the city first!" ”

"Yui."

The red carriage door closed, and Wei Mei's eyes always appeared Yingzheng's handsome appearance and his rude behavior, at that moment he didn't care about anyone's eyes, as if he was the center, and everything he did was right.

The convoy returned to Xianyang, and the wedding team lived in the embassy under the arrangement of the Qin state, and the officials of the Qin state and the envoys of the Wei state walked towards the Zhangtai Palace.

Zhangtai Palace.

Wei Envoy looked at Yan Yan's seat, and once again felt the importance he received in the Qin State, and at the same time, a sense of honor rose.

In order to seek pro-Wei state, the king of Qin sent such a minister to envoy Wei, which is much more important than the scale of envoy Chu.

The Wei envoy handed over the letter of state, and then handed over the will of Wei Yu, the king of Wei, all of which were the contents of the friendship between the two countries.

The Wei envoy knew about the changes in the Wei State, and as Wei Wuji's person, it was impossible for him to ask for help from the Qin State, so he didn't say much about the internal affairs of the Wei State, and after completing the marriage of the envoy, he would turn against Wei and enjoy the glory and wealth.

A political affair between the two countries ended, and the wedding date was set for three days later, and Wei Meiru was married to the palace of Qin with the etiquette of a princess.

In the apse of Zhangtai, Yingzheng, Yan Yan and Lu Buwei sat in the room, the maids served wine and tea, and the food table was covered with pastries.

Yan Yan's "order to attack Korea may have been issued." ”

Ying Zheng" has been issued two days ago, and the order is to go out of the customs to attack Sanchuan in South Korea at the beginning of winter. ”

"At the same time, he also ordered General Wang Yi to go to Shangjun, which has prevented Zhao from taking the opportunity to fight."

Lü Buwei said: "Both the state of Chu and the state of Wei are married to Qin, which proves that the two countries do not want to be enemies of Qin, so the only thing to guard against is Zhao." ”

Yan Yan: "It is impossible for Qin to start a war against Han and Zhao at the same time, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the six countries of Shandong, so that the six countries have to be forced to deal with the Qin state." ”

Yan Yan pondered for a while and said, "Since the Zhao State is eyeing the tiger, the Qin State can drive the wolf and devour the tiger." ”

Lü Buwei: "What does the wolf in Taishi's plan mean?" ”

Ying Zheng also looked at Yan Yan, waiting for his answer.

Yan Yan: "The Xiongnu and Yan in the north concentrated the forces of Zhao in the north, and it was difficult to go south. ”

Ying Zhengdao said, "The Xiongnu traded with the Qin State, and it shouldn't be a problem to convince them, but what about the Yan State?" What to use as bait to lure Yan Guo to take the bait and be the pawn of Qin State. ”

Lü Buwei "The king is right, Yan Guo is afraid that they will frame Qin State in mind, and he must be wary of Qin, how can he tie Yan Guo to Qin's chariot, so that Yan Guo is willing to become Qin's pawn is the problem." ”

"Taishi has a solution."

Yan Yan: "The king still remembers the prince of Yanguo in Handan City. ”

Ying Zheng: "The teacher is talking about Yan Dan. ”

Yan Yan nodded.

Ying Zheng said: "What role can Yan Dan play in it?" ”

Yan Yan "sent envoys to Yan to persuade the Xiongnu to attack Zhao on the grounds that Yan only had to take the crown prince Dan as a hostage, and Qin would send Chen soldiers to the border of Qin and Zhao to block the way north of Zhao's army." ”

"Yan State will definitely not miss such a good opportunity, and will inevitably let Yan Dan hostage Qin State, in order to come to the Qin army Chen Bing to threaten the border of Zhao State, Yan State will take the opportunity to attack Zhao."

"At that time, Zhao will face the attack of the Xiongnu and Yan at the same time, the north is bound to erode, Zhao will definitely go to Qin and Qi for help, and then Qin will send troops to attack Zhao to capture Taiyuan County of Zhao or ask Zhao to cede Taiyuan County."

Yingzheng Lu Buwei pondered for a moment and said, "Taishi, what if Zhao Guo didn't come to ask for help?" ”

Yan Yan "Since Zhao is unwilling to ask for help from Qin, then let Yan Zhao and Xiongnu fight each other, and Qin will reap the benefits." ”

Ying Zheng "Teacher, the Huns are cunning, and they may not necessarily attack Zhao in the south." ”

Yan Yan said, "The north is cold, and it is difficult to apply agriculture, and it is in the severe cold for half a year every year, so the Xiongnu will always go south to plunder." ”

"During this year, the Qin State traded with the Xiongnu for the sake of war horses, so that they were spared the disaster of food shortage, and if the Xiongnu did not agree to go south to attack Zhao, then they cut off this trade route and forced them to go south."

Lü Buwei also nodded and said, "The war horses purchased this year have been able to breed, even if you don't buy horses from the Xiongnu, it only takes three years for the Qin State to breed enough horses, so even if the trade with the Xiongnu is cut off, it will have no impact." ”

Yingzheng "Since this is the case, then it is better to send someone to Yan Kingdom." ”

"Now Cai Xiang is still on his way back, who is suitable in the Pawn Bureau."

Lu Buwei said: "There is a recommendation from the minister. ”

Ying Zheng: "Xiangguo, please." ”

Lü Buwei "has a guest named Chang Yu under the minister's door, this person is smart and quick-witted, and can take on this important task. ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, according to what Xiangguo said, let this person go to Yan Kingdom." ”

"At the same time, Xiangguo knows more about the Xiongnu, and Xiangguo will do it to let the Xiongnu go south."

Lü Buwei "Minister's Decree." ”

Lü Buwei left the Qin Palace, and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lü Buwei called Chang Yu.

After Chang Yu arrived, he saluted and said, "Lu Xiang." ”

Lu Buwei said, "This aspect has won an errand for you in front of the king, and if you do it well, you will be able to enter the king's vision, and if you can't do it, you don't have to come back." ”

Chang Yu was overjoyed and looked at the foreign road: "Xiangguo, please speak." ”

Lü Buwei told me about today's events.

"When you arrive in Yan Kingdom, you know what to do."

"Chang Yu understands. ”

Lü Buwei "Take this order and go to the Pawn Office to get the official robes of the festival and the envoys, and then set off." ”

"Chang Yu retired." ”

Next, Lü Buwei asked people to go to the Xiongnu tribe to inform the matter of this matter, and explain the benefits and disadvantages of the consequences to the tribal leaders of the Xiongnu.

Qin Palace.

Yan Yan came to Pingyang to seal the palace.

After Zhao Ji learned that the Taishi was outside the hall, she walked out with faster steps, and when she saw that familiar face, she paused and then approached him.

Yan Yan: "I've seen the Queen Mother. ”

Zhao Ji returned the salute, "I've seen the Taishi." ”

Zhao Ji motioned for the maid to retreat, she took Yan Yan to the main hall, made the familiar tea, poured tea for Yan Yan and sent it forward.

Yan Yan took a sip of the familiar teacup.

Zhao Ji: "I've seen Zheng'er. ”

Yan Yan: "I've seen it. ”

Zhao Ji "sent Wei Guo to be fortunate to be too a teacher, and fortunately worked hard for Zheng'er, which made the mourning family feel uneasy. ”

Yan Yan shook his head and gently put down the cup, "As a minister of the king, sharing the worries of the king is what should be done, and there can be a lot of work there." ”

Zhao Ji hugged him from behind and said, "You know what I'm talking about, don't perfunctory me, okay." ”

Yan Yan sighed and said, "You will make it difficult for the king to do this." ”

Zhao Ji: "Zheng'er knew what I thought, and Zheng'er didn't say anything. ”

"Zheng'er said, if I really make up my mind, I will help me fake my death and leave the Qin Palace, there will be no more Zhao Ji, the Queen Mother of Qin, in this world, there will only be a concubine Zhao Ji who serves by the side of the Taishi."

Zhao Ji hugged more and more tightly, "Zheng'er said that there is only one person in your heart, that is, Snow Maiden, I don't fight for the position of wife, it is excellent to be able to stay by your side." ”

Yan Yan: "What's so hard about this? ”

Zhao Ji "In Handan City, I watched you die several times in order to save Zheng'er, and you carried me all the way away from Handan City, at that time I had already found that I had a deep attachment to you in my heart in addition to fear, this attachment has reached the depths, into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to forget." ”

Zhao Ji rubbed Yan Yan's cheeks and wet his face.

"I already have a deep love for you, and it's hard to let go."

"Zheng'er was handed over by you, you know very well what his ability is, in front of him, I can't escape his eyes when I see everything about you, and Zheng'er also thinks of me, so he proposed a plan to fake his death."

Zhao Ji bit his earlobe.

Yan Yan: "Let's wait for Xiaozheng's marriage to end." ”

Zhao Ji let go of him when she heard this answer, wiped the tears on her face, knelt down next to him and said, "Okay." ”

Yan Yan took a sip of the teacup again, and a white mist rose from his mouth.

"The king, the protector of the country asks to see." ”

Ying Zheng" Xuan. ”

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi of the Yin and Yang Family entered the main hall and saluted, "King." ”

Ying Zheng: "What is the so-called matter of the protector of the country?" ”

Donghuang Taiyi, "The king, the minister heard that the Taishi returned to the court, and he came to ask to meet him." ”

Ying Zheng said, "The teacher is tired, so the mage should wait for the wedding." ”

Donghuang Taiyi" Yes. ”

Ying Zheng: "You will be responsible for presiding over the wedding in three days, and you will discuss the sacrificial ceremony and process with the Standing Office." ”

Eastern Emperor Taiyi" Minister's Decree. ”

Ying Zheng: "Go and prepare." ”

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi "retired." ”

Ying Zheng picked up the bamboo slips in his hand again, I heard that the public and the Shaofu have optimized the formula of the paper several times, and now the finished product can barely be written, I believe that it will not be long before it can replace the bamboo slips and cloth to become the best utensils for government affairs.

Looking at Zhu Jian, Yingzheng's mind was not on it, Yingzheng, "Queen Mother, it depends on you whether you can find your own happiness." ”

Two days passed in a flash, Xianyang City was full of colorful and red, entering the day when the King of Qin married, the princess of Wei would become the princess of Qin, and her status was only one order lower than the princess and queen of Chu who was married by King Qin a month later, but it was also one of the three palaces of the entire Qin queen's harem, and it was still the first.

Early in the morning, Wei Mei toured the entire Xianyang accompanied by officials to let Xianyang City know her identity and status.

In the palace of the Qin king, the sacrificial ceremonies, rituals, and dances are non-stop.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Feng Chang Kui took turns to preside over the sacrifice.

At noon, the marriage letters and national letters of the two countries were prayed to heaven together, and the wedding process was officially entered.

The wedding car of Xianyang entered the palace of King Qin, King Yingzheng of Qin personally walked to the altar with Wei Mei's hand, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi read the sacrifice words.

King Qin handed the seal representing the princess to Wei Mei, who took it with both hands and presented the sachet she had shown.

At this moment, it was just dusk.

After that, Wei Mei was carried to Zhangtai Palace in a sedan chair, waiting for the arrival of the beautiful scenery.

The king of Qin feasted the whole city, and the order was conveyed from the palace of the king of Qin and spread throughout Xianyang.

Xianyang's cheers resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Three stars are in the sky, and the ministers are scattered.

Ying Zheng also returned to the dormitory.

Except for the maid who accompanied the bridal, everyone was dismissed.

Ying Zheng took the wedding hook handed by the maid's hands, hooked Wei Mei's red veil, and then turned out to be the maid's wine on the ground, drinking with Wei Mei.

Ying Zheng and Wei Mei were served by two maids to carry out the final process of the wedding, and the maids put down the bed tent and served in it.

After this night, Ying Zheng officially had the first harem concubine.

In the morning, Ying Zheng got up and went to government, leaving the maids to sleep.

The main hall of Zhangtai Palace, civil and military officials saluted" See the king. ”

Ying Zheng "exempt from courtesy, give sitting." ”

"Excuse me, sit down."

"King Xie."
