When Zhao Tuo returned, his face was full of frustration.
Li You saw this in his eyes and felt secretly relieved.
I knew in my heart that this boy must have been severely reprimanded by the king to let him know what the difference between men and women is and the way of superiority and inferiority.
After this incident, I thought that even if Zhao Tuo had not fallen out of favor in front of the king, he would definitely not act as arrogantly as before and would dare to leave with the princess in broad daylight.
Things developed just as Li You thought.
Since that day, Princess Yinman no longer often used the guise of Master Fusu to take Zhao Tuo away by force as before.
Because, these two people changed to a more covert method.
Zhao Tuo wrote the plot of the story in advance on a slip every day, took it to the palace and handed it to the waiting princess attendant, and then handed it over to Ying Yinman.
This matter was brought up by Ying Yinman himself.
She is not an arrogant and ignorant woman. Although she cleverly resolved the crisis that day, Qin Wangzheng did not say anything about the matter.
But Ying Yinman knew that if he continued to act as before, he would soon cause other problems, so he came up with this method of secretly passing slips.
In this way, I can relieve my addiction to stories without being too obvious and attracting the jealousy of some people.
The two of them passed letters through slips and slips, and back and forth, in addition to stories, they would inevitably write some other things.
Li You didn't know about this, and he didn't even know that Zhao Tuo's depressed expression that day was specially prepared for him.
Li You only knew that Zhao Tuo, except for the princess incident, was generally very good.
He is courteous to himself, gets things done quickly and well, and speaks nicely.
In addition, the king's favor towards Zhao Tuo and his father Li Si's advice.
Li You did not hold a grudge because of the princess and went out of his way to make things difficult for Zhao Tuo.
After all, that matter was Mr. Fu Su's intention. Although it made me feel uncomfortable, it was over after all, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Moreover, at this time, Li Si was only a long history official and had not yet become a court official. The Li family had not yet stood at the pinnacle of power in the Qin State. There were still various senior ministers suppressing them, so they did not have the qualifications to be arrogant.
Under this circumstance, the relationship between Li You, who has good qualities, and Zhao Tuo is relatively normal, and does not cause any conflicts.
The calm and monotonous days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the eleventh month of the Qin calendar.
For Zhao Tuo, two important things happened in the middle.
The first thing he did was to take advantage of his rest time to fulfill his promise and visit Changwen Jun's Mansion.
Chang Wenjun had warmly invited him before. Although Zhao Tuo did not want to have too much contact with him, he did not want to offend a monarch.
Compared with the previous depression in Changpingjun's house, Changwenjun's house was actually peaceful.
This monarch had a very good attitude towards Zhao Tuo. He not only invited Zhao Tuo to have a banquet, arranged singing and dancing to entertain him, but even gave him a pile of pearls and jade as a farewell gift.
Zhao Tuo ate and watched singing and dancing, but he did not accept the gifts.
Fortunately, Chang Wenjun did not force him, but praised him with a smile, calling him the future pillar of Qin.
Zhao Tuo was not knocked down by Chang Wenjun's sugar-coated bullets. From Chang Wenjun's words, he knew what the other party wanted.
Join the Chu faction and become the helper of Prince Fusu.
Zhao Tuo did not comment on this, he was just conceding and waiting for one day.
Compared to Chang Wenjun's warm reception, what Zhao Tuo really cared about was the second thing.
Lord Changping, who resigned from the post of Prime Minister You, left Xianyang in the name of pacifying Han Dynasty.
Zhao Tuo knew very well what the real purpose of Changping Jun's visit was.
Zhao Tuo felt a chill down his back when he thought of that kind face and gentle voice.
Chang Pingjun's departure means that that event is getting closer.
A real life and death crisis!
However, Zhao Tuo did not have time to think about this matter much, because with the departure of Lord Changping, something big happened again in Xianyang City.
The envoy from Chu State arrived.
They traveled westward from the capital of Chu and entered Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
The purpose of the envoy's trip was to represent the King of Chu and offer the land to the King of Qin to seek peace.
On the second day after the Chu envoy entered Xianyang, another major event happened in the capital of Qin.
The prince of Yan captured by the Qin army years ago.
The mastermind who ordered Yan's envoy Jing Ke to assassinate him last year.
Yandan.
He was sentenced to death by Qin Wangzheng himself, and his car was torn apart in public in Xianyang City.
Pedestrian crossing.
After the last fire caused by the Yan State Mission, the rebuilt State Guesthouse was taller and more spacious, symbolizing the country's growing strength.
"Songyang Jun, the King of Qin deliberately killed the Crown Prince of Yan in front of us. He is trying to intimidate us!"
In the library, a man made an angry noise.
This man is nearly thirty years old, with a tall build and eight feet tall. He has a square face, strong and handsome face, and the burning anger in his eyes shows that he is in a state of agitation at this moment.
Songyang Jun Jingzhao sighed and said to the man: "Qu, since you know better, why are you so angry?"
"Now Qin is strong and the six kingdoms are weak. No, Han and Zhao have been destroyed, and Yan is dead in name only. The only three countries left are Chu, Wei, and Qi. Under this situation, who can stop King Qin from doing what he wants to do?
?”
"Don't forget, why did you and I enter Qin this time? Put away your anger and shoulder your duties as deputy envoys. You must ask the King of Qin to agree to peace this time, so that we can find a glimmer of hope for our Chu country.
.”
Listening to Jing Zhao's helpless words, Xiang Qu also remembered his father Xiang Yan's parting words.
Qin was strong and Chu was weak, and because of King Chu's failure to usurp the throne, many feudal lords in Chu were dissatisfied. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Chu to concentrate its forces against Qin.
As a result, when King Ben attacked Chu last year, he captured more than ten cities in Chu State, and Chu State even lost its old capital Chen Ying.
Chu State needs time to integrate internally.
Now that Lord Songyang has entered Qin, he has come with the sincerity of Chu to offer his land for peace.
Thinking of this, the anger in Xiang Qu's heart gradually weakened, and he could only say bitterly: "It's a shame that Jing Ke's attempt to assassinate Qin last year failed. If it had succeeded, Qin would have been in chaos. How could our Chu country be reduced to such a state? Everyone in the six countries said,
The reason why Jing Ke failed was because his deputy, Gao Tuo, was betrayed. He is a hateful man. If I see this Gao Tuo, I will cut him into pieces on the spot!"
When Jing Zhao heard this, his face suddenly changed. He stared at Xiang Qu and said, "Qu, I can tell you. This time you enter Qin, it is related to the life and death of our Chu country. You must not act on your own initiative. You must listen to my orders."
Xiang Qu frowned, but nodded and said, "No."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Jing Zhao was relieved.
King Chu of Chu didn't know what he was thinking, but he handed over the task of deputy envoy to Xiang Qu, Xiang Yan's son. This man was courageous, good-natured, and a good man, but as a deputy envoy, he was a bit lacking.
Alert.
Fortunately, he also understood the basics of this and was not a pure martial artist. Now that he has promised, there will be no trouble.
In order to lighten the atmosphere, Jing Zhao asked with a smile: "Qu, I heard that your son is born with supernatural powers?"
Hearing this, Xiang Qu smiled on his face.
"Yes, that kid is only seven years old, but he is very strong. He can already lift dozens of kilograms of things with one hand. He likes to talk big, and even said that one day he can lift the thousand-jin cauldron at home."
When Xiang Qu said this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Suddenly, he remembered the boastful appearance of his own boy.
