Chapter 16 Ask Liu Bang to give Lv Pheasant a bride price for him
"The daughter of the Lu family!" Zhao Wen repeated. In a small county town, with such a beautiful face and a surname of Lu, he already knew who the other party was.
Lu Fei, the first empress and empress dowager recorded in history, was also the first woman to take the title of emperor after the establishment of the emperor system.
After Liu Bang rebelled, this woman single-handedly stabilized his rear. Even after Liu Bang's death, the Liu family was able to pass on, thanks to this woman.
There has always been chaos in the emperor's harem. If there is not a capable woman to suppress it, God knows how many things will happen. And this woman, in Zhao Wen's opinion, is the best person to stabilize his harem.
He nodded slightly and smiled at Lu Pheasant without saying anything.
Zhao Wen believed that if Magistrate Pei was sensible, this woman would appear in his bed tonight.
A prince, who currently has the best chance of inheriting the throne, nodded to the woman under his rule. If Magistrate Pei didn't understand what it meant, he would definitely die without mercy.
"Sister, sister, His Royal Highness is giving you a nod!"
"Yes, His Highness the Prince nodded to me!" Lu Pheasant whispered to himself, but his eyes were fixed on the back of Zhao Wen and his group as they left.
Just as the twenty princes took a few steps forward, County Magistrate Pei turned around and said a few words to County Official Xiao, and then County Official Xiao turned around and walked straight towards him. Lu Pheasant suddenly felt a storm in his heart.
She already understood that her and her family's destiny had been completely changed from this moment on.
Seeing that Magistrate Pei had arranged for someone to go over, Zhao Wen raised his hand and took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Bang who had been following him and said: "Give this to that girl!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Wen stopped and said very solemnly: "You can tell her family that I must rush to Jiujiang County as soon as possible and leave tomorrow. Don't rush to prepare the betrothal gift as a gift!"
"Yes!" Liu Bang took the jade pendant with both hands, held it in his hands and walked quickly towards the Lu family's daughter with great respect, his attitude was no different from when he faced Zhao Wen.
This is the first thing His Highness arranges for himself, and Liu Bang will never allow any mistakes.
A girl from a small county was sent to the prince as a slave, so of course he didn't need to care about it. But with the betrothal gift, it was the wife of the mansion, his mistress, how could he dare to be rude.
Zhao Wen was shocked when he saw the jade pendant Hei took out, and hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness, this jade pendant cannot be given away!"
If Hei Yi read it correctly, this jade pendant was a token given by His Majesty to the 20th Prince. Even decades ago, this jade pendant was a precious treasure inherited by the Qin State.
Sending such a treasure is already a gift from the prince and his concubine, but the twenty princes are the crown princes of the country, how could the concubine decide on it so casually?
Seeing Liu Bangdai delivering the betrothal gift to Lu Pheasant, Lu Pheasant looked surprised, and Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction.
This woman has the destiny of being a mother to the world and has the ability to govern the world. Naturally, she cannot be left to Liu Bang.
Now that Liu Bang has sent the betrothal gift on his behalf, it can be regarded as a settlement between both parties.
Zhao Wen has decided in his heart that in the future he will select a princess from the Qin royal family to be betrothed to Liu Bang in return for the betrothal gift he sent today.
After arriving at the Peixian county government office and waiting for Zhao Wen'an to sit down, Peixian County immediately started busy arranging the arrangements as quickly as possible.
Zhao Wen turned to look at Fan Kuai, who had been following him, and said with a smile: "As a prince, I was sealed to Jiujiang just after he came of age. I came out of the capital of Qin empty-handed, but there is no one who is useful around me. Do you know the county?
What talents are there?”
"I am so stupid that I really don't know who is talented!" Fan Kuai said with a bitter face. Although he was already His Highness's personal guard, after all, he had just arrived at His Highness's side today. How could he dare to say such a thing.
"Is there any person you know who is as powerful as you?" Zhao Wen smiled and looked at Fan Kuai. After Liu Bang became emperor, he massacred his heroes. After Lu Fei came to power, he killed him again.
During the two killings in the early Han Dynasty, even Zhang Liang and Xiao He had to try their best to survive, but Fan Kuai was safe and sound. Such a person definitely has enough brains.
But since the other party refused to tell, he had to find another way to ask.
"Zhou Bo, who is in charge of raising horses and driving horses in the county's stable, is a loyal man. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is proficient in bow and horse. In terms of force, he will never be inferior to me. Your Highness can summon him to give him a try!"
"Okay!" Zhao Wen nodded with satisfaction.
Zhou Bo was a Taiwei in the early Han Dynasty, and his son was Zhou Yafu, who quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Both father and son were top generals.
When he came to Peixian County, what he wanted most were Liu Bang, Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and Lu Pheasant!
When he arrived in Jiujiang, he had Liu Bang as his general attendant to help him handle daily affairs, Xiao He to handle government affairs, Fan Kuai to provide personal protection, Zhou Bo to handle military affairs, and Lu Fei's affairs in the palace. This was the most basic team.
By developing on the basis of this team, even if there is an accident in the future, he will have the confidence to conquer the world again.
After all, from a historical perspective, Yingzheng did not establish a crown prince until his death, so Zhao Gao and Li Si issued an edict.
Now even if he has shown his abilities, Yingzheng is willing to give him a chance and also granted Jiujiang County to him.
But if he never establishes a crown prince, it is very likely that history will repeat itself, so he naturally has to prepare in advance.
Even if he makes himself a prince, a prince who does not have his own core strength is still not at the mercy of others.
Although Zhao Wen is certain that with Shimen here, he may be able to change the world even if he thinks about it more than ten years later, but he still needs to be prepared.
He immediately looked at Fan Kuai and said: "I will leave Peixian County for Jiujiang tomorrow. You should also go back and settle down. When you come, bring this man named Zhou Bo to me to try and see if he is really capable!"
"promise!"
In a short time, Magistrate Pei had already arranged the reception, including singing, dancing, banquets, and various delicacies, so that Zhao Wen, who was on his way, had a full meal.
Back in the room, looking at Lu Zhi, who was dressed in red and sitting by the bed with a shy face, he also burst out laughing.
"Lu Zhi pays homage to His Highness!" Lu Zhi, who was filled with anxiety when he saw Zhao Wen coming in, hurriedly stood up and paid his respects.
Although His Highness sent her a betrothal gift, she is only a country girl after all, and the identities of the two parties can be said to be worlds apart.
Destiny depends entirely on Zhao Wen's thoughts. How can Lu Pheasant not worry about it?
"This thing is too precious. This little girl would never dare to keep it. Your Highness, please take it back!"
Lu Pheasant raised his hand gently, holding a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand and handing it to Zhao Wen with reluctance.
If Xiao County officials hadn't known each other, Lu Zhi would never have imagined that His Highness would actually give him a national treasure as a betrothal gift.
But His Highness dared to give away such a treasure, how could she dare to accept it!
