"Are there many interesting places in the Western Regions?" Zhao Ji asked in Xingle Palace after learning about Ying Zheng's Western Tour.
This is the first time Ying Zheng has seen someone who has such a novel idea as Zhao Ji.
In the past few years, Zhao Ji's already low political talent has disappeared completely in pleasure.
"It's very fun. You may not be able to see a living person in a month. All you have is an endless desert." Ying Zheng said.
"Are Zheng'er lying to me? If it were just a desert, I wouldn't have let you leave Xianyang and travel thousands of miles to such a boring place, right?" Zhao Ji said suspiciously.
"Of course there are other things, but the mother still needs to stay in Xianyang." Ying Zheng said.
"Why? Zheng'er, I haven't been out of Xianyang for twenty years." Zhao Ji said.
The Western Tour was also a huge temptation for Zhao Ji. For her, the Queen Mother of Qin, who lacked nothing, the only thing that could attract her was novelty. For Zhao Ji, the Western Regions, the most undesirable thing is
novel.
"This time it won't work." Ying Zheng said.
"It's really not possible?" Zhao Ji stared at Ying Zheng, her eyes showing an unkind look.
Unfortunately, Ying Zheng, who had already known Zhao Ji's harshness and cowardice, had sufficient measures to deal with Zhao Ji now. He only heard Ying Zheng say: "This time I leave Xianyang, it should take about several months, and I don't have it.
During this period of time, I can only hope that my mother can help me watch Xianyang." Ying Zheng said.
As Ying Zheng said, Zhao Ji's expression changed indeed, her eyes narrowed, and she didn't care at all that it would make the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes look deeper.
"And the only one who can really reassure me is you, Queen Mother." Ying Zheng said.
"Since Zheng'er said that, I'll stay here. If I don't help you this time, who else can help you?" Zhao Ji smiled and never mentioned the matter of the Western Tour again.
It's right.
When Zhao Ji gave up the idea of the Western Tour, another empress dowager in another palace had the idea of the Western Tour.
"Chan'er, I'm almost sixty years old now, and I don't have a few years to live. If I can't take advantage of the fact that I can still move and go out for a walk, I really have no chance in my life. My childhood was in Chen Ying
After all, the years that followed were spent in Xianyang. Cicada, you don’t want me to be unable to move. All memories are only two cities, right?” said the Queen Mother Huayang. At this time, she no longer had the grace and former one.
Majesty, there is only the chatter of a woman who has entered her twilight years.
"Auntie, I know what you mean, but this is the Western Tour. After leaving Longxi, there is no crowd for thousands of miles. Even the most elite soldiers must endure it to survive such a journey, let alone you, aunt.
” Mi Chan persuaded.
She didn't know why Empress Dowager Huayang was so frustrated that she wanted to take advantage of Ying Zheng's Western Tour to accompany him to the Western Regions, but Mi Chan knew that she had to stop Empress Dowager Huayang's unrealistic ideas.
"I came to Xianyang from Chu State, and there were more than 2,000 miles along the way. During the journey, I had never even gotten a car, so I came here too." said the Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Aunt, this time it's different." Mi Chan said.
"What's the difference?" asked Empress Dowager Huayang, "Although the conditions of the Western Tour team are not as good as Xianyang, they are still with His Majesty, so how bad can they be."
"Aunt, this time it's really different. Your Majesty won't bring many palace eunuchs. In order to save time, the Western Tour team is a real army." Mi Chan said.
"That's okay. I can still eat this little bit of pain." Empress Dowager Huayang said without fear.
"Aunt, it's not a question of whether you can endure hardships now." Mi Chan said with a wry smile. Sure enough, the old man was as difficult as a child.
"Also, here in Xianyang, I also need my aunt, you help me. Fusu is too young. His Majesty asked him to supervise the country. I really don't know what to do. I also need my aunt to help me."
Mi Chan continued.
"Responsible? What else do you want Fusu to do?" Empress Dowager Huayang asked back with a strange expression.
"Auntie, you? Did I make a mistake in something?" Mi Chan said in a slight shock when she noticed the expression of Empress Dowager Huayang.
"I ask you, how old is Your Majesty today?" said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"I'm thirty-three years old, how could I forget this?" Mi Chan said, very puzzled by the question of Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Yes, thirty-three years old, what a good age. Your Majesty is only thirty-three years old. What else do you want Fusu to do?" said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Responsible?" Mi Chan pondered, and seemed to realize something.
"Your Majesty asked Fusu to supervise the country just to calm people's hearts, not to let Fusu do anything. Chan'er should not forget the prince who was the King of Zhao decades ago. Does anyone still remember him now?"
road.
"I didn't think of this." Mi Chan pondered, and had another judgment in her mind about the matter of governing the country.
"Ji and Fusu stayed in Xianyang with peace of mind. For political affairs, you only need to listen, don't say anything, and don't do anything." Empress Dowager Huayang said seriously.
As a woman who has come from the era of King Zhao of Qin, the knowledge of Empress Dowager Huayang is naturally not comparable to that of Mi Chan, relying solely on her own wisdom. In terms of the political situation, Empress Dowager Huayang has the knowledge that she is not inferior to that of a senior minister like Lu Buwei.
"That's the reason." Mi Chan said solemnly. She almost made a big mistake.
"But then again, I really can't go to this Western Tour?" Empress Dowager Huayang said with a turn.
"Auntie, don't talk about this matter anymore, it will definitely not work." Seeing the changes of Empress Dowager Huayang, Mi Chan said with laughter and cry.
"Oh, it seems that I can only die in this Huayang Palace." Empress Dowager Huayang sighed quietly.
······
"Can I really go?" When the Empress Dowager Huayang was disappointed, there was a girl who fell into excitement.
Looking at the excited best friend, Ying Yan said helplessly: "It's not easy for me to bring you with me. Although my father asked for a light-clothing surname, I, as his beloved daughter, bring you with me.
Two or three maids are OK."
"It's great, the Western Regions, a completely unfamiliar place, a place full of charm." Lu Zhi said excitedly.
In front of Ying Yan, a good friend who has been together since childhood, Lu Zhi naturally doesn’t have to hide anything.
"Apart from these, you'd better not have any other thoughts." Ying Yan warned.
"What is the eldest princess saying? Why don't I understand?" Lu Zhi said innocently.
