The Qin Palace is majestic, with carved railings and jade columns, and continuous palaces.
In a palace, the maid walked to the door and bowed: "Sir, Princess Yinman wishes to see you."
Young Master Fusu sat in front of the eucalyptus, staring blankly ahead, his face a little pale.
He woke up in the middle of the night and has been sitting here for a long time.
Hearing the maid's report, he was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing and said softly: "Please come in, princess."
After a while, a tall and graceful girl wearing a white fox fur walked in.
"Brother, this time the war against Chu is finally over, and the meritorious generals have returned in triumph. Do you think..."
Halfway through her words, Ying Yinman blushed on her face and did not continue speaking. She just stared at Fusu expectantly.
Fusu smiled bitterly.
A girl's thoughts, not seeing her for one day is like three autumns.
As an elder brother, how could he not know this?
only……
Fusu felt his heart beat faster when he thought of the horrific scene he saw yesterday.
His face was pale and there were beads of sweat falling on his forehead.
"Delay for a few days, postpone for a few days."
Fusu shook his head and said.
Ying Yinman raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly.
When her brother rejected her request, she was a little disappointed, but she was not angry. Instead, she was a little worried because Fusu's state was very wrong.
She asked with concern: "Brother, what are you worried about? Could it be that your father reprimanded you again?"
"nothing."
Fusu shook his head.
Seeing his expression, Ying Yinman's mind turned and she said softly: "It must be because of that Chu man."
Fusu smiled bitterly, acquiescing.
Ying Yinman frowned and said: "Brother, since that person is dead, don't think about it anymore. Let him let the past go. If you continue to worry about this, not only will you be unforgettable, but your father will also feel it.
do not like."
"Okay, okay, you are the elder brother or I am the elder brother. You go back, I have a sense of discretion in my heart. After I wait for a few days, I will report to my father and invite Zhao Tuo to the palace."
Fusu waved his hand helplessly, already intending to drive his sister out.
Ying Yinman blushed, bowed and saluted, turned and left.
But as soon as she reached the door, she remembered something again, looked back and shouted: "Brother, Zhao Tuo captured and killed that man, but he was following his father's order to avenge our Qin country. You can't blame him."
"I understand. Don't worry, I'm grateful to you. It's not too late for Zhao Tuo, so how can I blame him?"
Fusu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved his hands repeatedly.
When Ying Yinman saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, he left with peace of mind.
Seeing his sister's back disappearing outside the door, Fusu couldn't help but sigh.
After Zhao Tuo's guidance and several inquiries and guidance from Qin Wangzheng, Fusu had already figured out his identity and position and would not continue to be confused on this issue.
But even though Fusu figured it out, when he saw Xiong Qi's body with his own eyes, his feeling was different.
Especially in the hot season, a corpse is transported thousands of miles from Kuaiji in the south to Xianyang, Guanzhong. Although it has been "processed" on the way, the final appearance of the corpse and the vomiting smell it emits
, still made Fusu feel extremely sick and frightened the moment he saw it.
"This...could it be a ghost?"
Fusu could not compare that ugly, weird, and terrifying corpse with the gentle and gentle Changping Lord of the past, who kindly taught him Chu culture.
Fusu was an honest man. Although he was afraid, since he had been ordered by his father to whip the traitor's corpse a hundred times, he would not miss one stroke.
After wielding the whip a hundred times in a row, what appeared in front of Fusu was an indescribable and terrifying thing.
He vomited on the spot.
Nightmares continued overnight.
This was also the reason why he refused Ying Yinman's request. It took him some time to calm down and dispel the fear that remained in his heart.
However, after Fusu whipped the corpse to rebel, he finally completely stripped the Chu people's influence from his body, just as Qin Wangzheng expected.
"Chu State."
When he heard the name of this country again, what came to Fusu's mind was no longer those imaginative silk paintings or the romantic poems of Chu.
It was a scene outside Huaiyang City where the king of Chu, his ministers, knelt down and kowtowed like their concubines and slaves.
"Xiong Qi."
Thinking of Xiong Qi, what appeared in Fusu's eyes was no longer the Changping-kun with a warm smile on his face and calling his name affectionately.
Fusu Su could only think of something ugly and disgusting that made him feel frightened.
He will never miss and be obsessed with her again.
"Someone is here to burn all the Chu clothes, silk paintings... in my palace."
…
In Xianyang City, there is a magnificent and vast mansion.
Zhao Tuo knelt down and sat in front of the eucalyptus, holding up his glass of wine in boredom, drinking alone.
There were some side dishes on the table in front of him for him to drink with.
Heiyi, Su Jiao, Xiqigu, Zhang He, Bai Rong, Zhao Guang and the Li brothers, who may have families or live in other places, had already bid farewell to him in the past two days and left, taking their honors and titles with them.
, each goes back to his own home.
Generals such as Zhongli Mei, Lu Wan and Shejian who originally lived in Zhao Tuo's mansion also moved out one after another and settled in Xianyang City, each buying a mansion to settle down.
The reason for this was that Zhao Tuo suddenly discovered a big hidden danger after being reminded by Wang Jian.
Who is Zhao Tuo? He is a Qin general with a title of nobility, a general who is good at conquering and fighting.
Shejian, Zhongli Mei, Lu Wan and others were all mid-level and senior officers of the Qin army. The worst Lu Wan had the title of duke, and Shejian was a dignified concubine.
And these three people are all his old subordinates of Zhao Tuo in the army.
The high-ranking men in the three armies lived in Zhao Tuo's house and talked about military tactics and strategies every day. What would it look like if word got out?
Although no one cares about him now, if someone uses this matter to attack Zhao Tuo in the political struggle in the future, saying that he gathered his subordinates, formed gangs, and planned some "bad" things in the mansion day and night, then Zhao Tuo would really
I can't even explain it clearly.
Therefore, Zhao Tuo discussed with everyone and asked them to settle down separately and visit each other occasionally, but not too closely to avoid unnecessary trouble.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For Zhao Tuo, a young man who is new to politics and officialdom, he must be cautious in all his actions and not give anyone any clues.
As Shejian and others moved out of Zhao Mansion, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but feel empty.
On the battlefield, although there are murderous intentions everywhere, you can still command thousands of troops and horses to kill the enemy, and there are all kinds of enemies who compete with you in wits and courage, so your life is very fulfilling.
Although Zhao Tuo sometimes felt tired and tired when he was fighting in the army, when he really returned to Xianyang and was idle at home, he felt very uncomfortable.
He is lonely.
"The king did not summon me."
"The young master and the princess didn't send anyone."
Zhao Tuo felt a little empty in his heart. The last time he came back from Chu, the king summoned him to the palace overnight for questioning and entrusted him with the important task of capturing Xiong Qi. That kind of trust and attention still makes him very excited when he thinks about it.
.
When he came back this time, although the king also celebrated his reward and was the first to ask him at the banquet, showing a certain degree of favor and trust, it was not the same as the last time.
Not to mention the inquiry at the celebration banquet, but there was a hidden agenda.
As for Young Master Fusu, there was no communication at all.
Without Fusu as a middleman, Zhao Tuo would not be able to contact the "person" in the palace.
This made him feel a sense of crisis.
Fusu is the same age as him. They are both nineteen this year, so next year they will be twenty.
According to the weekly system, men are crowned when they are twenty, and after the crowning ceremony, it means they have officially come of age.
Although Qin Wangzheng himself was crowned only when he was twenty-two years old, the reason may be related to Lu Buwei and Lao Du.
Now that the political situation in Qin is stable, it is impossible to postpone the crowning ceremony of Fusu.
At that time, after Fusu's crowning ceremony, he will move out of the palace and open a new residence outside the palace.
In this way, he, Zhao Tuo, will completely cut off contact with the girls in the Qin Palace.
"Fusu didn't send anyone to contact us, what happened?"
"This guy won't defend Xiong Qi again and anger the king, right?"
Zhao Tuo felt that Fusu had not contacted him and the situation seemed a bit abnormal, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
After he returned to Xianyang, although he could go to court and participate in political affairs with the title of Young Master, he could only go to the main palace.
The harem was a forbidden area for foreign ministers. Only close ministers such as Zhao Gao and officials of the Langzhong Order could enter. He, Zhao Tuo, had no qualifications to get close.
Under such worrying circumstances, Zhao Tuo even thought of contacting Zhao Gao to understand the situation in the palace through him.
But after just thinking about it, Zhao Tuo regained his senses and put this idea behind him.
No matter what the reason was, Qin Wangzheng's children were not something that he, a foreign minister, could inquire into. It was a taboo issue.
And although Zhao Gao became very close to Zhao Tuo because of Meng Yi's incident, and even became brothers on the surface, Zhao Tuo was still wary of him in his heart.
Zhao Gao is not an easy man. He can neither offend this person nor get too close to him.
"Forget it, I still need to stabilize my mentality. Things in the palace are not my thing to worry about. This rare rest time is just for me to get something out."
Zhao Tuo quickly looked away. He calmed down and prepared to focus on other more beneficial things.
"Someone, bring me a stone mill and bring it to the mansion!"
