Zhang Ji is also riding a white horse. To be honest, if you exclude the fact that the white horse is too conspicuous on the battlefield and can easily attract hatred, he actually really wants to buy a white horse for fun.
Although dangerous, it is indeed exciting.
Ying Zheng was in front riding horses together with Lu Buwei, Meng Ao, and He Gong, followed closely by Gai Nie, Meng Tian, and Li Si. Zhang Ji quietly withdrew from the crowd, slowing down the speed of the white horse. After breaking away from the crowd in front, they came to the carriage carrying the girls and jumped on the carriage.
Just kidding, how can you have fun chatting with a bunch of old men instead of laughing and laughing with your beautiful wives and concubines?
If he hadn't had to enter Xianyang Palace later, he would have started his daily activities.
Look at the busy and bustling Xianyang City, with people coming and going. What a wonderful atmosphere. It is very suitable to stretch your muscles and exchange academic issues in this seemingly isolated carriage.
However, speaking of it, this Xianyang City is indeed worthy of being the overlord of the Qin State.
Although Xianyang City without city walls lost a barrier to resist the enemy, it also allowed Xianyang City to develop completely and expand extremely fast.
However, the rapid expansion has not delayed the infrastructure projects within the scope of Xianyang City. The roads in the city are flat and accessible from all directions. There are many shops and restaurants, and the sound of hawking is endless. Zhang Ji briefly glanced at the shops on both sides of the road. Business was busy, and there were special officials responsible for supervising transactions and receiving people who came to complain about unscrupulous merchants.
Many people believe that since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce has led to poor commercial development, but the fact is exactly the opposite.
The Qin State only suppressed commerce internally, but never suppressed commerce externally. Instead, it supported the development of commerce.
Just as Qin State wanted to attract scholars from the six countries to come to Qin, Qin State also gave many preferential policies in order to attract merchants from other countries to come to Qin State for development. For example, reducing taxes on other businessmen and providing a strong business environment for businessmen from other countries.
As a result, countless merchants from other countries entered Qin, especially Xianyang, and business was very prosperous. Even during wartime, many merchants from various countries smuggled themselves out of the country to do business in Qin, and even sold strategic materials.
Therefore, this bustling and bustling capital of Qin was created.
Road traffic is also controlled by petty officials who specialize in maintaining public security. If someone rides a horse or rides a car arrogantly, a group of soldiers will take him down. Everything in this prosperous royal capital is so orderly, even cities in later generations may not be able to do this.
And not only its internal prosperity, but also the geographical location of the city of Xianyang is indeed worthy of Qin's status as the overlord.
The Guanzhong area where it is located is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It forms a condescending position over the vassal states in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. It has a superior ruling position. The choice of this place to establish the capital all reveals the ambition and ambition of Qin Xiaogong who moved the capital here. .
The flowing Wei River runs through Xianyang, passing through every pavilion, pavilion, and palace, like an umbilical cord connecting the mother and the fetus, continuously delivering nutrients to the capital of Qin, as if it was an oath to complete. The ambitions of successive Qin kings turned Xianyang City into a magnificent city unprecedented in history.
Zhang Ji was walking forward with a group of wives and concubines, and many courtiers in front gradually dispersed as they passed by his mansion.
Today is not the day for a court meeting, not to mention that Ying Zheng has just returned from an outing. The journey has been dusty, so he naturally needs some rest.
Moreover, Ying Zheng also needs to visit Zhao Ji.
Although filial piety was not as highly praised during the Warring States Period as in the later Han Dynasty, people at that time still valued filial piety, and it was not the pure material support of later generations, but included spiritual support, such as Zeng Shen biting his fingers and feeling sad, Min Sun Lu Yishunmu and Lao Laizi play and entertain their parents, all of which satisfy their parents' needs from a spiritual perspective.
Moreover, unlike the ordinary relationship between the king and the queen mother, the relationship between Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji is a true mother-son relationship.
The mother and son once endured the bullying of the Zhao people in Handan together. Ying Zheng watched as the pampered Zhao Ji had to do menial jobs such as laundry and weaving to raise him because of him.
After six years of sharing hardships and relying on each other, no one could understand the deep mother-son love between Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng.
Therefore, the first important thing Ying Zheng had to do after returning to Xianyang was to visit his mother Zhao Ji.
However, this visit was different.
Zhangtai Palace
Ying Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.
In this era, the road was not that smooth, especially the road in South Korea, which was rugged, so traveling was naturally a tiring task, not to mention that he had to deal with courtiers.
Of course, although these things are complicated, they are nothing to the energetic Ying Zheng. What really makes him feel tired is another thing.
"Xuanjian, what you said is true?"
Ying Zheng looked at Xuan Jian with a gloomy expression.
Xuanjian nodded expressionlessly.
Zhang Ji on the side was full of emotions and somewhat admired Lao Ai's courage.
Xuan Jian stopped Ying Zheng when he was about to go to Ganquan Palace to visit Zhao Ji, and told a series of truths that made Ying Zheng and Zhang Ji feel horrified.
Zhang Ji originally thought that Zhao Ji was a love brain who fell into Lao Ai's sweet talk, but he didn't expect that she was controlled by Lao Ai using a method similar to the way the tide controlled Han Wang'an.
Moreover, Lao Ai actually disliked Zhao Ji for being an old woman who had been touched by others, and even disliked her so much that she was unwilling to touch her!
Zhang Ji was really shocked that Lao Ai was so brave!
Looking at Ying Zheng's sinister face, Zhang Ji could feel that Ying Zheng's anger was almost reaching its peak.
The Six Sword Slave also handed over a piece of information, which detailed Lao Ai's misdeeds after being granted the title of Marquis of Changxin, using the palaces, houses, cars, horses, clothes, gardens, and hunting grounds that the Queen Mother was qualified to use. , and even renamed Taiyuan County in Hexi, which took Qin hundreds of years to recapture, "Ai State".
"Everyone, get out." Ying Zheng's deep voice came out from between his teeth, his voice was hoarse and trembling, and he ordered everyone to leave the hall.
Zhang Ji shook his head, looked at each other and walked out of the hall together with Gai Nie.
At this time, Ying Zheng was on the verge of rage. Even Ge Nie felt the extremely depressing atmosphere and the terrifying power coming from Ying Zheng.
Just when Zhang Ji was about to step out of the palace door, Ying Zheng suddenly raised his head and glanced at Zhang Ji's back with cold eyes. Zhang Ji felt like a light on his back. He paused in his steps and subconsciously He turned to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Ji with his dark eyes, and said calmly: "Sir, stay here."
