In Bafu, the widow Qing returned to her home, remembered Lin Ze's rudeness, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "The unruly concubine is simply presumptuous." ”

Ba Qiang said: "Mother, Hu Hai is here to Shudi, and the person who comes is not good!"

The widow snorted coldly: "If it's just that he is not good, I am not worried about my mother, I am afraid that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with my Ba family's monopoly on Shu." ”

When Ba Qiang heard the name of Emperor Qin, he couldn't help but show a hint of horror: "What does Your Majesty mean? Mother, with your friendship with Your Majesty back then, Your Majesty will not ignore the old feelings and deal with the Ba family, right?"

The widow sneered and said: "Friendship? What kind of friendship? At the beginning, His Majesty conquered the Six Kingdoms, and was short of money and food, so he took the initiative to rush to Chang'an for his mother, risking the risk of the Ba family going bankrupt, sending money and grain to His Majesty, and even helping the government to go to various tribes to recruit troops and collect grain. ”

"Even with this friendship, my Ba family can grow stronger and stronger with the support of the government, and almost dominate the entire Shu land. But it's been almost a hundred years since Great Qin unified the world, how much friendship can be left?"

"Besides, in the past few years, Your Majesty has successively executed Lu Chunqiu, Wei Ying, and Gongsun Qi, and even such heroes can be executed, not to mention my Ba family?"

The look of horror on Ba Qiang's face became more and more intense, and he hurriedly said: "What should I do? Is my Ba family in trouble?"

Widow Qing couldn't help but scolded: "Don't panic, this is just a guess for my mother, Your Majesty really wants to make a move, why still use Hu Hai's hand to directly ride on Pingba's house, maybe it's just a beating." ”

Ba Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, it's not that Emperor Qin wants to deal with the Ba family, just beating, the Ba family can still bear it. Ba Qiang suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Mother, maybe Your Majesty didn't mean to knock on the Ba family, but just let Hu Hai come over and practice?"

The widow shook her head and said in an affirmative tone: "Impossible, Your Majesty has never done such a thing, if you want to say that it is just a simple experience, the world is so big, why would you choose Shuzhong?"

Ba Qiang said with a worried face: "Then does my Ba family really want to go against that Hu Hai?"

Widow Qing sighed and said: "It's not that my Ba family wants to go against Hu Hai, but that Hu Hai wants to get along with my Ba family, you must know that my Ba family is expected to return to Shu by everyone, whether Hu Hai is pregnant with His Majesty's will, or because of interests, if he wants to bring Shu into his control, the conflict between him and my Ba family is indispensable." ”

"Unless my Ba family retreats again and again until Hu Hai's appetite is completely satisfied, it will never be possible to solve this matter. Besides, let's not talk about how big Hu Hai's appetite will be, and how much of the benefits of my Ba family will be swallowed, do you think my Ba family can retreat?"

"You go and ask those elders of the Ba family, are they willing to spit out the meat in their mouths? You must know that since my Ba family occupies so many resources, it is not so easy to retreat. ”

Ba Qiang sighed: "In this way, I can only fight with Hu Hai to the end." ”

The widow smiled and said: "Don't worry, just test for your mother today, this Hu Hai is just a child who can only fight and kill, and he can't easily fight us, as long as His Majesty doesn't make a move, my Ba family is fearless." ”

"Besides, listen to Hu Hai's meaning, Your Majesty gave him three years, with Your Majesty's arrogance, these three years, he will definitely not make a move, my Ba family still has enough time to deal with this matter, and I will make a little trick for my mother, so that Hu Hai can recognize that in Shudi, who is the real master?"

Ba Qiang nodded silently, but he still had doubts in his heart, could Hu Hai really deal with it so easily?

......

In the Governor's Mansion, Hu Hai said to Lin Ze: "This Aunt Qing, something is wrong today." ”

Lin Ze asked rhetorically: "Oh, what is wrong with what Childe said, what are the main aspects?"

Hu Hai sighed: "When Aunt Qing went to Chang'an, she would always bring a lot of gifts to my son, including food, use, and fun, very enthusiastic. ”

Lin Ze rolled his eyes and said: "Childe must know that you came here to serve as the governor of Shu this time, and she, as the largest force in Shu, will inevitably have entanglements of interests with Childe, as long as Childe wants to develop his own strength, it will inevitably infringe on her interests, so of course the attitude is different." ”

"So that Gongzi will know that today is still the first day, and she, as the head of the Ba family, will definitely take other actions to calculate Gongzi, please be careful with Gongzi. ”

It's like Daqin is a big company, and Shudi is a branch of a big company. It turned out that the widow, as the president of the branch, went to the headquarters to visit the boss's son, and was naturally enthusiastic. Now that the boss's son has grown up and is going to come over to take over the branch, as the boss of the original branch, it is no wonder that he can be happy.

Hu Hai said worriedly: "Then what should I do? A fool can see that the entire Governor's Mansion, except for these people brought by you and me, are all her people, once she makes a move, wouldn't it be very troublesome for my son?"

Lin Ze comforted: "Childe don't worry, I already have a good plan to deal with it." ”

Hu Hai said wistfully: "I'm not very worried that Lin Ze won't be able to handle it, but in this way, this son will inevitably be implicated, how can you have a good time?"

Lin Ze......

After a pause, Lin Ze coughed lightly and asked: "I don't know if the prince knows how deep the friendship between this old lady and His Majesty is, and it is easy to deal with her, I am afraid that if I deal with her, it will cause His Majesty's anger, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

Hu Hai thought for a long time before saying: "Actually, my son is not very clear, how deep the friendship between Aunt Qing and his father is, I only know that Aunt Qing will go to Xianyang Palace almost every year to ask his father for peace, including that my father once said that she doesn't have to salute anyone except him." ”

"Oh, by the way, once I said in front of Zhao Gao that Aunt Qing's identity is very unusual. Zhao Gao replied gloomily, anyone in front of his father is a courtier, without exception. ”

After talking for a long time, Lin Ze still didn't dare to conclude the relationship between the widow Qing and Emperor Qin, so he said to Hu Hai: "Just in case, I also ask Gongzi to add a few words to the letter he usually writes to His Majesty, Aunt Qing treats me very well, and so on." ”

Hu Hai was puzzled and said, "Lin Ze, you just said that Aunt Qing would target us, why do you want this son to say good things about her in front of his father?"

Lin Ze smiled: "It's just to prevent her from suing His Majesty about the son." ”

Hu Hai shook his head and said, "My son doesn't understand much, you say more details." ”

Lin Ze smiled undiminished and said: "Childe, you put yourself in your shoes, you say good things about Aunt Qing to Your Majesty, and she says bad things about you in turn." If you are Your Majesty, when you learn about this, will you think that she is deliberately pretending to be a good person in front of your son, but in fact she is secretly hiding trouble, and wants to harm you in front of Your Majesty?"

Hu Hai thought about it, but he still didn't understand it, looked at Lin Ze with a very simple look, and didn't want to say that he didn't understand, so he said: "I see, then this son will add these few more good words." Lin Ze, is there anything else I need to do?"

Lin Ze shook his head and said, "For the rest, I have already arranged it, please wait with peace of mind." If these people know the times, everything is easy to say, and if they really want to make trouble, I will make them regret what they have done. ”
