Chapter 28 Zhao Yiren
Lu Buwei's mansion in Handan City is actually not very far from the mansion of Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, and the carriage can only be driven by twenty minutes.
This is a mansion that looks ordinary from the outside. Outside the gate are two strong-bodied guards with sharp eyes. After seeing Lu Buwei get off the car, he immediately bowed and bowed: "Master."
If it were in the past, Lu Buwei would have smiled and greeted the two elite rangers who had hired a lot of money. However, Lu Buwei, who was worried today, was not in this mood at all. He just nodded casually and walked into the mansion.
As soon as he walked into the gate of the mansion, an old man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of Lu Buwei and whispered: "Master, Gongsun is here."
Gongsun does not refer to a man named Gongsun. At this time, the sons of the princes were called Gongsun, and the grandsons of the princes were called Gongsun. To put it bluntly, Gongsun is the title of "prince" and "monarch" in later generations.
As a businessman who is very good at managing connections, Lu Buwei knew many young masters and grandsons. For example, he had just come out of the Prince Bao Mansion of Zhao State, but there was only one Gongsun who could come to Lu Buwei's mansion at this time. That person was the grandson of Zhao Ji, the king of Qin State. At this moment, Zhao Yiren, who stayed in Handan City as the host of Qin State, stayed in Handan City as the host of Qin State.
Lu Buwei was stunned when he heard this, with a slightly surprised expression on his face: "Why did he come in the middle of the night?"
The housekeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gongsun has arrived in the afternoon, but you were not at the mansion at that time... But according to your instructions, the mansion has already held a banquet, and Mrs. Guo is drinking with Gongsun."
"What?" Lu Buwei's face changed and he quickly walked into the hall.
Although Lu Buwei's mansion looks ordinary from the outside, it actually has a unique atmosphere inside. It is decorated with a generous amount of decoration and contains many rare toys that require a lot of money to buy.
At this moment, there was a scent of wine floating in the air in the hall, and several women holding musical instruments were sitting beside them playing the piano, drums and zithers, playing melodious music.
A young woman was wearing colorful clothes, dancing to the melody of the music in the center of the hall. The woman had a pretty face and slender waist. When the red skirt and green sleeves were dancing, there seemed to be some tempting scenery that was looming, which was extremely tempting and made people's blood radiant.
In the upper chief of the hall was a young man in black. The man looked obviously drunk a little, and two obvious red pieces appeared on his cheeks. He held a dagger in his hand and slapped the table with the rhythm of the instrument. He shook his head and stared at the dancing woman, but never left for a moment.
When Lu Buwei walked in, it happened that the song had just finished. The woman in the middle of the hall slowly stopped and happened to see Lu Buwei walking in from outside the hall.
The woman was slightly surprised and bowed to Lu Buwei: "I have met the head of the family."
This woman is Lu Buwei's concubine Guo, who comes from another wealthy family in Handan City. There are many concubines like Lu Buwei. Since this concubine is from Zhao, Lu Buwei usually prefers to call her - Zhao Ji.
Lu Buwei frowned slightly and waved his hands to Zhao Ji and the musicians around him who played the piano and the stern musicians: "I have something to do with Gongsun, so let's go."
Needless to say, the young man sitting in the head seat is naturally Zhao Yiren.
Until this time, Zhao Yi, who had been staring at Zhao Ji with lustful eyes, finally discovered Lu Buwei's existence, and squirted with alcohol on his mouth and smiled at Lu Buwei: "Lu Zi, I finally waited until you return. Come on, let's have a few drinks with me."
Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Yiren who was obviously drunk, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, "Gongsun, drinking is a mistake."
Zhao Yiren laughed and said, "I am the host of Qin. The Zhao people have not liked me for a long time. If it weren't for Lu Zi's help, I wouldn't be able to go out of the door half a step. What else can I do? Come and drink!"
What Zhao Yiren said is true. During the Warring States Period, sending protons to each other was a very common diplomatic action, which was equivalent to a means of guaranteeing and gaining trust between each other.
For the proton itself, this identity is actually very dangerous, because once the war begins between the two countries, the protons in the enemy country will be in danger of losing their heads in minutes.
Historically, when Zhao State was defeated and Qin State took advantage of the victory to face the city of Handan, Zhao State planned to chop Zhao Yiren's head out of breath.
If Lu Buwei hadn't bribed the relationship between the superiors and subordinates in various ways, Zhao Yiren's head would have been hanging on the city of Handan for the Qin army to watch.
Of course, even protons have different levels of favor and different degrees of relationships between countries, so the treatment they receive is naturally different.
For example, now, Zhao Wangdan's younger brother Chang'an Jun went to Qi State to work as a hostage for a few years ago, but Tian Fazhang, the king of Qi Xiang, was the relative brother of the Empress Dowager Zhao State, and Chang'an Jun's uncle. In addition, Zhao State loves this young son very much, so although Chang'an Jun is called a hostage, his actual treatment is not much worse than when he was in Zhao State.
Zhao Yiren is far inferior to Chang'an Jun. Today, there are dozens of sons of King Ji of Qin, and three or four hundred grandsons like Zhao Yiren. Zhao Yiren's father, the crown prince of Qin, An Guojun, also has more than twenty sons. In addition, Zhao Yiren's mother is just a concubine with a low status, so Zhao Yiren's life and death are not at all concerned about Zhao Yiren's life and death.
In addition, the Qin and Zhao countries are now facing each other in Changping, and a huge war may break out at any time. The relationship is the most tense time. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Zhao people to have any good face to Zhao Yiren, the proton from Qin.
In fact, before he met Lu Buwei a few months ago, Zhao Yiren was so poor that he couldn't even eat, and he didn't even have a carriage to go out. As Zhao Yiren's identity as the Qin Gongsun, it can be said that he was extremely miserable to get to this point.
This is why when Zhao Yiren knew Lu Buwei and learned that Lu Buwei planned to help him ascend to the throne of Qin, he would say "Please get points for Qin and the king."
Anyway, Zhao Yiren was a poor and poor person at this time. Not to mention dividing Qin State, he would dare to divide even if he divided the throne. Isn’t it just a matter of just talking about it?
In short, after meeting Lu Buwei, Zhao Yiren's life underwent earth-shaking changes.
In one sentence, this guy Lu Buwei is "too poor and only money left", and is a complete rich man. Such a rich man, the chefs, wine and food at home are naturally very good, so Zhao Yiren came to Lu Buwei's house every now and then, just like today, and he ate so happily.
In order to facilitate Zhao Yiren's outing, Lu Buwei also bribed Zhao Guoshang doctor Lou Chang with a large sum of money, so Lou Chang's men who were responsible for monitoring Zhao Yiren turned a blind eye to this.
So although Qin and Zhao fought lively during these days, Zhao Yiren's life was more comfortable than before, and it was a great pleasure.
Seeing that Zhao Yiren was drinking, it was difficult to stop him, so Lu Buwei asked someone to reorganize the wine and food, and the two sat opposite each other and drank.
After drinking a few cups, Zhao Yiren was drunk and smiled at Lu Buwei, "Lu Zi, I am very happy with Zhao Ji in your house. Why not give this girl to me?"
Obviously, Zhao Yiren fell in love with Zhao Ji, the concubine of Lu Buwei who was dancing in the hall just now, and wanted Lu Buwei to give him this Zhao Ji.
When Lu Buwei heard this, he immediately frowned and looked a little hesitant.
Zhao Ji, a concubine, is very beautiful and dances well. She is charming and considerate on the bed, and she is considerate and considerate. She can be said to be an absolute beauty, very pleased by Lu Buwei.
But to put it bluntly, the concubines of this era are just personal belongings and playthings for men. No matter how understanding Zhao Ji is, it is impossible to compare with Zhao Yiren. After all, Lu Buwei originally suppressed all his wealth and future on Zhao Yiren. What is a mere concubine?
What really made Lu Buwei hesitate was what Zhao Wangdan said to him today when he was at Zhao Bao's mansion in Pingyangjun.
Zhao Dan: "Lu Qing, I heard that there is a concubine named Zhao Ji in your house."
Lu Buwei: "Go back to the king, there is indeed this girl in my house."
Zhao Dan: "Is this girl pregnant?"
Lu Buwei: "Back to the king, this girl has never been pregnant."
Zhao Dan was overjoyed: "Good! Lu Qing remembers that if Zhao Yiren wants to find this girl, Lu Qing will never allow her!"
