He was so angry that he poked Ying Xiaozheng's stomach: "Little one has no conscience, my uncle is suffering in front, but he is lazy here." ”

Xue put down the embroidery in her hand: "Zheng'er cried for several days before, and then he had to support the coffin to send the ancestor into the tomb." He's so tired, what's wrong with taking time to rest? Besides, if you go to the feast in front of you, why is it called suffering? ”

Zhu Xiang sat beside Xue, surrounded by Xue, put his head on Xue's shoulder and said, "I know that Zheng'er is tired, so I'll talk about it." But going to the feast is really suffering. ”

He began to complain that the food was unpalatable, the wine was unpalatable, and he was tired of intriguing with people.

Zhu Xiang complained: "Qin State is in mourning, how can there be wine?" It's better to drink plain water. And when did the wine in the Qin Palace's wine become so unpalatable? The brewing recipe I gave was given for nothing? ”

Xue said helplessly: "Didn't you listen to Xunzi explain the banquet?" It wasn't wine, it was a drink with special herbs in place of wine. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I really haven't listened, who will listen to what drinks and dishes will be served at the banquet?" ”

The snow is even more helpless. You're a courtesy, and you still don't listen? Xue assisted Queen Qin and Mrs. Huayang to prepare the banquet, and they all remembered the menu.

Zhu Xiang casually chatted with Xue about some daily things. Chatting and chatting, Zhu Xiang was also sleepy. He got into Ying Xiaozheng's quilt and slept with Ying Xiaozheng.

Xue put down the embroidery, picked up the account book, and while reading the account book, she fanned Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng to drive away mosquitoes.

The smoke of incense curled up in the house, and in addition to the slightly loud breathing of Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng in the house, it was the sound of snow turning over books. There is a sound, but it is also very quiet.

When the smoke cleared and the mosquitoes stopped appearing, Snow put down her fan and smiled at the sleepy eyes of her lover and child.

In those days when I was separated from my lover and my children, Xue was often so lonely that I couldn't sleep. But then she got used to it.

Once you have a lot to do during the day, you don't miss your family too much at night. This is what her lover often said to her, "Xue, you should find something you want to do, and don't focus on me and Zheng'er, so that you can have a good time", right?

But even though she found what she wanted to do, she was happiest when she was with her lover and children.

She put the account books away, and also lay beside Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng, and stole half a day of leisure with the two of them.

Zhu Xiang used his strong talent of sleeping with his eyes open during the banquet to let the envoys of various countries know that he was a posthumous and independent person who could not talk to him at will.

Even Huang Xie was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to arouse the interest of this human immortal. If Zhu Xiang was not interested, it would be impossible for him to find a chance to make friends with Zhu Xiang.

He thought about it and found Lin Zhen to help.

After Lin Zhen returned to Qin, he did not return to Xianyang immediately. He did something for Qin Wangzhu before he could catch up with the end of the funeral.

After that, he also had to send King Qin Zhaoxiang to be buried with the hundred officials of the Qin State, and he would not leave Xianyang for the time being.

After Lin Zhen returned to Xianyang, Huang Xie immediately came to visit and offered a lot of money, hoping that Lin Zhen could help him introduce him.

At this time, Zhu Xiang was at Lin Zhen's house.

Lin Yi joked: "You said that this heavy money, should I accept it or not?" ”

Zhu Xiang reminded: "You accept bribes, be careful of being imprisoned by the king." ”

Lin Yi said: "You don't have to worry about this, as long as I give half to the king, the king will not punish me." ”

Zi Chu said: "Those who see it have a share, if you don't share half of me, I will sue you as the prince." ”

Lin Zhen scolded: "Fart, don't even think about it, don't try to pull things out of my hands!" You're all the princes, it's time for you to give me something. If you don't bribe me, I'll support your brother, do you think you'll be stable as a prince? ”

Zi Chu took a deep breath: "Zhu Xiang, what stupid things did you listen to Lin Li?" When these words got out, he didn't have enough to cut off a few heads! ”

Zhu Xiang perfunctory: "It's okay, the scourge will last for thousands of years, I believe that Lin Li will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

Zi Chu said: "Next time I won't come with you to see Lin Li." I should come with Cai Ze. ”

Lin Zhen was puzzled: "By the way, what about Cai Ze?" He didn't even go a hundred miles out of the city to greet my dear friend? Could it be that after he became prime minister, he became proud? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Zichu and I are out of the palace, guess who is in the palace to deal with the paperwork we should do?" ”

Zi Chu coughed dryly: "What I should do, I will do it after I return to the palace." ”

Zhu Xiang bared his teeth: "I finally pushed it to Cai Ze, and I will never do it after returning to the palace." ”

Zi Chu was speechless: "Cai Ze is unlucky to get acquainted with you?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Each other." ”

Lin Zhen nodded: "Cai Ze is unlucky to get acquainted with the two of you?" ”

Zi Chu and Zhu Xiang said in unison: "You are the least qualified to say this!" ”

Lin Zhen stroked his freshly trimmed beard: "I know you are jealous of my noble character and talent. It doesn't matter, I'm big-hearted and don't care about you. ”

Lin Zhen's old servant couldn't help but remind: "Master Father, Chun Shenjun is still waiting outside." ”

Lin Zhen showed a sudden look: "Yes, I forgot about him." The topic turned back, you said that I can't accept this heavy money. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Collect, I'll take one-fifth." Jun Shang, Xia Tong, and Cai Ze each took one-fifth. ”

Lin Zhen showed a painful look: "I only get one-fifth?" Zhu Xiang, you are too ruthless. Who said Lü Buwei was a profiteer? You're the real profiteer. ”

Zi Chu said: "If Lu Buwei is here, I'm afraid that all this money will fall into Zhu Xiang's pocket." Since it's to meet Zhu Xiang, how can Zhu Xiang not accept some gifts? ”

Zhu Xiang agreed: "Yes, you have to bribe me with extra money, so I will go to see Chun Shenjun, otherwise I won't see you." ”

Lin Zhen waved his sleeves to drive Zhu Xiang away: "Go, go, then I'm gone." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Don't you say now?" Late? Let's go, Zichu, let's go to his warehouse to move things! ”

Zichu and Zhu Xiang got up together and walked to the warehouse in Lin Zhen's backyard.

Lin Zhen scolded the two of them on their backs, and after scolding, he said to the servants to prepare the carriage, and they would carry whatever they wanted.

The servants couldn't laugh or cry.

After Zichu and Zhu Xiang left, Lin Zhen tidied up his clothes and went out to greet Chun Shenjun with his hair scattered.

His face was full of guilt: "I was just taking a bath, so I made Chun Shenjun wait for a long time." ”

Chun Shenjun saw that Lin Zhen was actually wearing his hair, and he did not doubt him: "No, I took the liberty to visit, please don't blame Lin Qing." ”

In this era, the Qing doctors attached great importance to etiquette, especially Lin Zhen also claimed to be a disciple of Xunzi, and often discussed Confucianism with people in the Chu State, so he should naturally pay more attention to etiquette.

When Dr. Qing sees a distinguished guest, he will definitely wear a good dress to show respect. Lin Zhen actually wore his hair loose, I'm afraid he really came out in a hurry.

If it was someone else, Chun Shenjun might have thought that he was being despised for it. But Lin Zhen has always been very polite and knowledgeable, he should be afraid that he will wait for a long time, so it will be too late.

After Chun Shenjun thought so, he was a little more cordial to Lin Zhen.

After listening to Chun Shenjun's request, Lin Zhen smiled bitterly: "Although I am Zhu Xiang's friend, it is precisely because I am a friend that I can't ignore his opinion and take people to meet him at will." If I do this, not to mention that my threshold will be broken, I'm afraid Zhu Xiang will be annoyed. ”

Chun Shenjun was in a low mood: "It's also ......"

"But Chun Shenjun is famous, maybe Zhu Xiang also wants to meet Chun Shenjun." Lin Zhen turned his head.

Chun Shenjun immediately said: "Can Lin Qing introduce me to me?" Whether Zhu Xianggong wants to see me or not, I always have to give it a try. ”

Lin Yi said: "Of course you can." It's just that Zhu Xiang now lives in the palace, and if he wants to meet with the envoys of the Six Kingdoms, I'm afraid he has to pass the pass of King Qin first. ”

Lin Zhen looked at the gifts behind Chun Shenjun and said, "I will give these gifts to King Qin for you, and show your heart to King Qin, what do you think?" ”

Chun Shenjun's face froze: "Seeing Zhu Xianggong, do you still have the consent of King Qin?" ”

Lin Zhen showed a tired and painful smile: "Zhu Xiang's usefulness to the Qin State, doesn't Chun Shenjun know?" Now the envoys of the six countries all want to accept Zhu Xiang's guidance, even if it is just a few words, it may benefit them immensely. ”

He didn't say much, only put his hands behind his back, looked up at Xianyang Palace and sighed, his smile was very bitter.

When Chun Shenjun saw Lin Zhen's expression, he immediately understood the meaning of Lin Zhen's words.

Zhu Xiang seems to be favored, but in fact, the King of Qin let Zhu Xiang live in Xianyang Palace, which is to put Zhu Xiang under house arrest and isolate Zhu Xiang from the envoys of other countries.

Chun Shenjun thought of Zhu Xiang's lonely and empty expression at the palace banquet, and remembered the conversation between Zhu Xiang and the envoys of Wei and Zhao with only a few words, and sighed in his heart.

I'm afraid that Zhu Xiang himself knew that he was imprisoned by the King of Qin.

Sure enough, with the nobility of Zhu Xianggong, how could he really be willing to completely obey the orders of the tyrannical King of Qin? King Qin also knew that he could not completely control Zhu Xianggong, so he imprisoned Zhu Xianggong.

Zhu Xianggong seems to have been reused by the King of Qin, but in fact, after entering Qin, he did not serve as a high-ranking official in the court of Qin at all, but the King of Qin gave him extra power to let him do things. And when Zhu Xianggong was doing things, he was assisted by officials on both sides.

This seems to be an assistant, but in fact it is not an overseer?

If Zhu Xianggong goes to another country, which country's monarch does not worship Zhu Xianggong as a prime minister? And Zhu Xianggong was in the Qin State, and he couldn't even participate in the court meeting.

King Qin was so cruel to Zhu Xianggong!

Lin Zhen asked, "Do you still want to see Zhu Xiang?" ”

Chun Shenjun hesitated.

The king of Qin said that he could only see Zhu Xianggong through him, which made the envoys of the six countries retreat in the face of difficulties, right? And even if he knew Zhu Xianggong's situation, Zhu Xianggong also intended to leave the King of Qin, how could he help Zhu Xianggong get out of the sea of suffering?

Lin Zhen sighed and said, "Actually, I still hope that Chun Shenjun can meet Zhu Xiang, at least one more outsider chats with him, and he will be much happier." When he was in Handan, Zhu Xiang was sharp and debated with the scholars of the entire Handan City. Now he is only hidden in the shadow of King Qin, and the world has probably forgotten the high-spirited Zhu Xianggong. ”

Chun Shenjun immediately said: "Please Lin Qing help me present the gift to King Qin!" ”

Hearing Lin Zhen talk about this, even if Chun Shenjun has more worries in his heart, he will also meet Zhu Xianggong.

If Zhu Xianggong can be persuaded to separate from the Qin State, even if the King of Qin does not let Zhu Xianggong leave, the Qin State may be difficult to use Zhu Xianggong again.

Moreover, if he spreads the news of Zhu Xianggong's situation, the reputation of hypocrisy that the Qin State has promoted through Zhu Xianggong will definitely collapse.

As for whether Zhu Xiang would die because of him doing this...... Although Huang Xie respected Zhu Xiang very much, everyone in the Six Kingdoms was the same, the more he respected Zhu Xiang, the more he hoped that Zhu Xiang would die in the Qin State.

After Huang Xie left, Lin Zhen found his thief friend duo in the warehouse and told the two thieves what he said.

Zhu Xiang: "? ”

Zichu: "? ”

Lin Zhen, are you sick? What a drama to add suddenly!

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't the gentleman worried that he doesn't know who is spreading the rumors about Zhu Xiang?" If Huang Xie misunderstood, he would definitely find some people in Xianyang City who hated the two of you to cooperate. The more rumors they spread, the more outrageous they became, and the more flaws they exposed. And again......"

Lin Zhen laughed a few times, and said awkwardly: "Why didn't Zhu Xiang go to the court, why was he in Xianyang Palace, someone must know the truth behind this." Therefore, based on rumors, it is possible to judge the status of the person who said the rumor. ”

What he is saying now is far from the truth, people who don't know the truth at all will directly spread rumors, those who know a thing or two about the truth will polish it, and those who know the truth completely will probably wait and see for the time being.

"If they spread this rumor, it will not only hit the reputation of Zhu Xiang and me, but also the reputation of the Qin State." Zi Chu sneered, "I have every reason to move them." ”

Now the group of people spread rumors about himself and Zhu Xiang, even if it is rumored that he is going to commit rebellion, he can only endure it and not do it, because this is a "private matter", and he is attacking political opponents.

Although King Qin may not care about him attacking political opponents, as soon as King Qin succeeded to the throne, Zichu didn't want to do anything to fight for power and profit immediately, so as not to reduce his favorability in King Qin's heart. He could only wait for King Qin to make a move that he couldn't bear to make.

If the other party was directly targeting the Qin State, then this matter would be much easier to deal with.

Zhu Xiang was puzzled: "Lin Li, why do you have so many poisonous ideas?" Aren't you a Taoist? ”

Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Taoism is inclusive of all things. Do you want to learn the Tao? I'll teach you! ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head vigorously: "...... No, no, I think your old way is a bit inauthentic. ”
