This night.

It was originally a farewell banquet set up by Qin Wangzheng for Wei Yi's departure, but in the end it became Zhao Tuo's wheat food special.

Overnight, wheat, which was originally eaten by slaves and convicts, was suddenly improved in the status of grains and grains because of Zhao Tuo, and became a sharp weapon to enhance the national strength and military strength of the Qin State.

Qin Wangzheng even issued an edict to Zhisu Neishi on the spot, asking him to go to Zhao Tuo tomorrow to discuss the promotion of wheat food and stone grinding.

After doing these things, it was late at night.

Qin Wangzheng once again toasted Wei Yu and thanked him for his assistance in the past ten years.

Wei Yi smiled and raised his head in return.

"Zhao Tuo's son, not only has the ability to fight for the military, but also knows the art of strengthening the country, with him in Qin, the king's deeds are no longer worry-free. The old man can also rest assured to go! ”

Qin Wangzheng said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Duke Wei looks down on this kid, no matter how powerful he is, how can he compare with such a military minister as Duke Wei?" ”

Wei Yi smiled silently.

He believed that his vision would not be wrong, just as he knew what kind of person the other party was when he first saw Qin Wangzheng fifteen years ago, he could see that Zhao Tuo's ability was more than that.

After the banquet, Qin Wangzheng took the lead in leaving, and Zhongqing also said goodbye to Wei Yi one after another, just like the scene when Wang Jian left before.

Wei Yi deliberately left behind, and went out of the palace with Zhao Tuo, chatting about some old military disputes along the way.

"Just as the Marquis of Wucheng said, the world in the future will be born by you. I am old, and it is time to return. ”

Walking outside the palace gate, Wei Yi turned around and looked at the young general in front of him with emotion.

Zhao Tuo smiled and said: "How can Wei Gong talk about old man. In the past, the master and father were more than 70 years old before they came out of the mountain, helping the king of Zhou to set the world, compared to the ancient sages, Wei Gong is still young. ”

"Hahaha, you kid can talk, compare me with Lu Shang?"

Wei Yi couldn't close his mouth with a smile, even if he was as transparent as him, when he heard Zhao Tuo compare it with Lu Shang, he was still comforted by this sycophancy.

After laughing, he looked at Zhao Tuo, and the expression on his face became solemn.

"Your Zhao Tuo's mouth is quite subordinate, and the old man hopes that you will always be like this."

"Time has changed, and those who were humble in the past may become more and more arrogant. It will be difficult for those who speak out, only if you are like Zhao Tuo, who are honest and upright, can it last for a long time, hehehe......"

Wei Yi smiled and turned to walk to a carriage not far away.

His disciple Wang Ao was waiting there.

The master and apprentice may be far away and will no longer be bound by the court.

"Captain go slowly."

Zhao Tuo bowed and saluted, but his eyes were full of solemnity.

Wei Yu's last sentence means something else.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Wu, who had already received the edict, came to visit Zhao Tuo's mansion.

The internal history of Su is the great Sinong of the Han Dynasty.

In charge of cereals and goods, Zhao Tuo's proposal to promote wheat food is under his jurisdiction.

"Less of what the Shangzuo said about wheat and food is really a good policy to strengthen the country and benefit the people."

Wang Wu is about forty years old, with a white face and a long beard, and has only been in this position for less than a year. As soon as he saw Zhao Tuo, his attitude was very polite.

If wheat food can be promoted, it will also be a political achievement for him, which is very beneficial.

"To serve the king, you should do your best. This matter is difficult to promote, and it has to rely on the prince. ”

Zhao Tuo also replied politely, Zhisu Neishi is one of the nine Qings, with a high position, he should make friends, and he can also have many friends.

And if the matter of wheat food and stone grinding is promoted, he Zhao Tuo can also share some credit, although it is not much, but the experience bar of promotion is also rising, which is better than sitting in the mansion.

The two talked for a while, and Zhao Tuo talked about some precautions in the promotion of wheat food, and then asked the cook, who had learned most of the pasta recipes, to follow him away.

He doesn't have to worry about the next thing, he has his own government to handle it.

"Flour is a good thing to strengthen the country and the army, and it is also a delicious food. The king should be very happy this time, and let him know the importance of my Zhao Tuo. ”

Zhao Tuo thought of the smile that Qin Wangzheng showed him last night, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

However, he didn't wait for the king's solitary summons, but received an invitation from Gongzi Fusu to enter the palace.

"Has Fusu finally come out of the psychological shadow?"

Zhao Tuo sighed with emotion, and then couldn't help but scold Xiong Qi.

This dead ghost betrayed the Qin State when he was alive, and when he died, he threatened Fusu, and even brought trouble to Zhao Tuo, which really made people feel angry when they remembered it.

scolded in his heart, but Zhao Tuo's movements were not slow, and he asked the maid to change into the dress for him to enter the palace, and then went out of the house and got in the car and went to the Qin Palace.

……

In the Qin Palace, on a towering platform.

Qin Wangzheng leaned on the railing, looked at the palace gate in the distance, and a young man walked in.

"Zhao Gao, you said that last night Zhao Tuo took the opportunity of the provocation of the Qiang Fist to offer the widow the method of wheat food, what do you mean?"

Qin Wangzheng turned his head and stared at Zhao Gao, who was standing behind him.

Although Zhao Gao was proficient in the law and good at figuring out his thoughts, he was often taken by Qin Wangzheng by his side.

But in fact, the CRRC Mansion ordered a lower rank, and he was not qualified to participate in last night's farewell banquet, and Zhao Tuo's wheat food, he only found out about it this morning.

In the face of the king's inquiry, Zhao Gao originally wanted to say something like Zhao Tuo's dedication to the Qin State.

But when he looked at the smile in Qin Wangzheng's eyes, he understood a little, and replied with a smile: "I think it's because of the princess, right?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Qin Wangzheng laughed, turned his head and looked into the distance again, only to see that the young man was about to enter the harem under the guidance of the palace attendant.

"This boy is thinking about the widow's daughter, and wants the widow to make a promise to him. Zhao Gao, you go and wait outside the Fusu Palace, and when he comes out, he will be summoned to the widow's side. ”

"Yui."

Zhao Gao arched his hand and slowly retreated, feeling a little happy in his heart.

If Zhao Tuo can become the princess of the king, his status will definitely rise in the future.

He Zhao Gao is already commensurate with Zhao Tuo as brothers, and can be called allies in the political arena.

The stronger the ally, the better it will naturally be for him Zhao Gao.

The footsteps faded away.

Qin Wangzheng watched Zhao Gao's back disappear into the distance, and the smile on his face gradually receded.

"Is it Wang Qian? Or is it a lieutenant? Or did this kid realize it himself? ”

"Do you want to please the widow with wheat food? Hehe, the widow is not a narrow-minded king, how can he abolish himself because of Xiong Qi's matter. ”

Qin Wangzheng shook his head, thinking of the scene where Zhao Tuo looked at him last night, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but pop up again.

"Cannons, manure, ploughs, wheat...... Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, how many things do you still have that you haven't given to the widow? ”

……

Zhao Tuo, under the guidance of the maid in the palace, stopped outside a dormitory.

This is the residence of the prince Fusu, before the crown, all the sons lived in the palace, and after the crown ceremony, they would move out of the Qin palace and open another mansion.

Zhao Tuo heard from the grapevine that Qin Wangzheng was already looking for a bride for Fusu, and the candidate seemed to be hesitating between the granddaughter of Wucheng Marquis Wang Jian and the daughter of Tingwei Li Si, and had not yet been decided.

If nothing else, the candidate will be selected in the second half of the year, and then Fusu will be crowned next year, and you can get married.

"The man of old, crowned twenty, crowned his husband, and married thirty. A woman is allowed to marry at fifteen and marry at twenty. ”

Zhao Tuo thought that in the Spring and Autumn Period, aristocratic men might not marry until they were thirty years old, and women would not marry until they were twenty years old. The reason for the late marriage is probably that the nobles need to wait for a suitable marriage partner.

Women generally marry after fifteen years, even thirteen or fourteen years old, and men often get married before the age of twenty.

But in any case, even if it is based on ancient etiquette, a woman is fifteen and allowed to marry.

This year, Qin Wangzheng's eldest princess Yingyin Yan is seventeen years old, and she should have reached the age of Xu Ren, but Qin Wangzheng has not decided on her husband for a long time, which seems very unreasonable.

"If I hadn't appeared, I think she would have married Li You, right?"

"After the battle to destroy Chu, the king should have made a decision, but not giving a date, it always makes people feel unsure."

Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking nonsense, Fusu had already walked out of the house and saluted Zhao Tuo: "Fusu has seen Zhao Jun. ”

"Zhao Tuo has seen Gongzi."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly returned the salute, only to see Fu Su dressed in Zhu Xuan's Qin suit, with a solemn face.

Although he still gives people the appearance of a handsome son, Fusu's eyes made Zhao Tuo feel a little different, and compared with the past, he seemed to have become much more mature.

The two were polite, and Fusu invited Zhao Tuo into the palace.

"Zhao Jun, please."

Zhao Tuo walked with a smile, he remembered the last time he came here, he was "smashed" to the ground by Yingyin Yan's punch before he entered the door, and this time he couldn't help but be a little more vigilant.

But to Zhao Tuo's surprise, until he entered the house, he did not encounter the imaginary "raid".

The scene in the house made his eyes shine.

It was a girl in an aqua blue skirt and a white fox fur.

He was sitting quietly in front of a few desks.

Compared with the lively and agile princess in her memory, the girl in front of her has changed a lot.

She was taller, her facial features were more and more delicate and beautiful, and her skin was as delicate as mutton fat jade, shining with an alluring luster in the sunlight shining in from the window.

Zhao Tuo's gaze accidentally swept over the girl's chest, and he was suddenly surprised.

"I've grown up."

Maybe it's because women are naturally sensitive.

The girl's fair cheeks flushed, and she reprimanded: "I heard that gentlemen should not be respectful, and they should not be gentlemen?" ”

Zhao Tuo blinked innocently and said with a smile: "What does the princess mean by this?" What did I just see? I don't seem to see anything, so why disdain? ”

Yingyin Yan was stunned, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak, and the blush on her face drifted to the root of her ears.

What can she say?

Beside him, a childish voice sounded.

"I know, you just looked at my sister's ...... with your eyes"

Syllable!

As the slap sounded, Childe's high mouth deflated, and he almost cried with a look of grievance.

"Full of nonsense, play with Jiang Lu and Rong Lu."

Ying Yin scolded with a red face.

This slap was scolded.

Zhao Tuo knew that she was still her.

The quietness just now is all fake.

However, what surprised Zhao Tuo was that the people in this room, in addition to Gongzi Gao and Gongzi Ronglu who had already seen him, had another five or six-year-old child.

Listening to Yingyin Yan's words just now, this baby is also the son of Qin Wangzheng, called Gongzi Jianglu?

"Is this for me to bring a baby to the king?"

"Next time, will you see Hu Hai?"
