There were no setbacks in Zhao Jia's appointment as Marquis of Changxin, and everything went extremely smoothly.
As the eldest son of Zhao State, Zhao Jia is now a hostage in Qin. However, he relied on currying favor with Queen Mother Zhao Ji and was named the Marquis of Changxin of Qin State. This incident naturally attracted the contempt but envy of the officials of Qin State. Who doesn't want to achieve great success?
Zhao Jia reached the sky in one step, directly changing from Qin's hostage to Qin's aristocrat.
Regardless of the actual power, just looking at the title, he is equal to Lu Buwei, and even one level higher than Changping Jun, Chang Wenjun and others.
It stands to reason that without military merit, it is impossible to rise to this level. However, Queen Mother Zhao Ji insists on going her own way, and even does not hesitate to reward Zhao Jia with her own land... She really supports it!
The awarding process was carried out in Zhangtai Palace, witnessed by hundreds of civil and military officials of the Qin State.
afterwards.
Zhao Jia even stood beside Lu Buwei and in front of Lord Changping, and participated in the Qin Dynasty's court meeting.
He glanced at Lu Buwei next to him from the corner of his eye. This old man was really deep in the city. Such a big thing happened yesterday. However, his expression remained unchanged at this moment. There was no trace of displeasure on his face. It was as if what Zhao Ji said to him yesterday was true.
Fake.
It seems that this old guy is really angry... Zhao Jia analyzed it from Lu Buwei's perspective. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to endure it.
The former is more about wanting something, while the latter is also something, but its nature is completely different.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Everyone knows what kind of person Jia is. If he stays in Qin for one day, he will never do any harm to Qin!"
The statement posted by Cheng Xi before explained everything.
After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Lu Buwei finally spoke. He looked at Zhao Jia coldly and arrogantly, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't congratulated the young master yet for being able to become a Chehou in Qin State by virtue of being a proton. This matter
This is the first time in a hundred years, and it can be seen that the talent of the young master is amazing."
Zhao Jia walked over, first checked Zhao Ji's slender hands, and then said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"That's also the result of drinking your tea. I never acted like this before. The tea carefully brewed by the Queen Mother is so moisturizing to the mouth."
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly, looked at Lu Buwei, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Zhao Jia shook his head, played with Zhao Ji's little hand, and said softly.
Lord Changping, Lord Changwen and others nodded to him, which was regarded as a greeting, but it was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.
He is still waiting.
Just like a girl's "I want" and a young woman's "I want", their meanings are also different.
Zhao Jia looked at the ministers around him and said confidently.
"It's all because of the Queen Mother's love. If you don't deserve the honor, please ask Lu Xiangguo for advice in the future."
What's more, there is no point in spreading rumors about this kind of thing. If there is no evidence, no one will believe it.
Zhao Ji leaned in Ai Lang's arms, seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Isn't the old man in trouble?"
…
There is a saying.
Zhao Jia was not arrogant. Under the gaze of the ministers, he bowed to Lu Buwei very humbly and said softly.
As an old fox, how can I do something that I am not sure about?
"Just let the maid come. Why do you have to cook it yourself? What if you burn your hands?"
"Of course not. For a person like Lu Buwei, he will either not do it or he will do it thoroughly. Before that, he will pretend that nothing happened."
The most terrifying thing is the undercurrent, and a confrontation in the open is far inferior to a confrontation in the dark.
After Zhao Jia drank the tea in the cup, he put his wife Zhao Ji into his arms and joked.
Unless he is caught in bed, Zhao Jia can refuse to admit it. As long as he doesn't tell everyone about it, no one will care about what happened between him and Zhao Ji.
Lu Buwei smiled coldly, said nothing, and strode away into the distance.
Zhao Gao on the side waved his hand and walked out of the palace with the maid, leaving the man and the woman alone to live together.
The court meeting was still going on, and most of the things discussed were the aftermath of the Chang'an Jun case. During this period, Lu Buwei did not express any opinions and allowed Ying Zheng to negotiate and make decisions with the ministers. It was not until the court meeting came to an end that the ministers left Zhangtai one after another.
palace.
Zhao Jia believes that his affair with Zhao Ji will be an eternal secret. Even Lu Buwei will not tell it easily. After all, if this matter is really brought out, there will be a lot to tell.
, such as Lao Ai, and Lu Buwei's plan.
"Oh? If I am giving you advice, will Marquis Changxin really listen?"
"If what you say makes sense, Jia will naturally listen."
For a person like Lu Buwei, if he doesn't take action, once he does, it will definitely be a killing move.
Lanchi Palace.
"He doesn't dare to touch you when the Ai family is here."
When Zhao Jia arrived, Zhao Ji was already making tea for Zhao Jia. She knew what kind of taste Zhao Jia liked, and she would prepare it for Zhao Jia thoughtfully during this period, just like today.
Zhao Ji is very happy with this. She likes this feeling of being valued. The mental pleasure is far better than the physical pleasure. Of course, if you have both, it will undoubtedly be better. Now, she seems to have it.
The beautiful woman rolled her eyes at Zhao Jia: "I know how to coax the Ai family with sweet words~"
Lu Buwei took a deep look at Zhao Jia, and said slowly in front of the ministers: "Since the young master has joined the Qin Dynasty as a minister, then his thoughts will be on the Qin State, whether it is papermaking or stitching.
, everyone can see that the young master has great talents, but just because you are in the Qin country, you must not deliberately curb your talents and learning and become a person like the Qin Dynasty and the late Chu Dynasty."
When Changping Jun and others saw this scene, they did not approach and turned around to leave. At the moment, Zhao Jia still needs to wait and see. Although he has become Changxinhou, the other party has undoubtedly offended Lu Buwei. Can the other party succeed Lu Buwei next?
The key is to hold on to this position under pressure.
Zhao Ji said quite confidently. This was not blind confidence. As the Queen Mother of Qin, the biological mother of Ying Zheng, and the "Minister of Life" entrusted by the late king before his death, she was not afraid of Lu Buwei at all. Even secretly, she was not afraid of Lu Buwei at all.
She also has Zhao Gao and Luo Wang.
Full of confidence.
Zhao Ji seemed to be in a good mood today. Her charming and graceful eyes glanced at Zhao Jia who was walking towards her. With a smile on her red lips, she said, "You're here just in time. This tea has just been brewed. Please try it."
A young woman's thoughtfulness and gentleness are incomparable to a young girl's.
He did not continue to pay attention to Lu Buwei, but his eyes intertwined with those of several people behind him.
…
Lu Buwei gave a slight doubt and said calmly.
Even if it's Ying Zheng... nine times out of ten, he won't care, let alone believe it!
"I hope so."
I am not afraid in Qin State, I am afraid of going outside.
After a while, he will have to go to South Korea, and there may be some trouble there, but with the power of the Yin Yang Family and Luo Wang, Zhao Jia is still certain.
Think of this.
Zhao Jia held Zhao Ji's hand tightly, leaned over and bit it...
