Although Zhanri was responsible for the specific implementation of the cooperation between Qin and Li Yuan, Zhang Ji, the leader of the net, did not know about it.
Diplomatic matters need to be directed by Ying Zheng, and then handled by Dian Keqing or the foreign envoy in charge of diplomacy. Strictly speaking, Zhang Ji has no right to check before signing, but after all, this matter cannot be avoided.
However, the wedding was less than ten days away, and Zhang Ji had less time and energy to deal with various matters. Rehearsing the evening ceremony over and over again was really tiring.
As for the affairs of the internal historian, they were all left to the internal historian Feng Quji and the internal historian Feng Jie. The affairs of the Weiwei were left to the group of generals. The affairs of the Luowang were also left to Zhan Ri. .
Seeing Zhang Ji's tired look, Ying Zheng also knew that Zhang Ji was really working hard during this period, so he gloated and laughed and joked with the officials. Seeing that Zhang Ji was too lazy to get involved in military affairs, he simply The tensioner left early.
Looking at Zhang Ji's leaving figure, Li Si couldn't help but sigh.
Think about it two years ago, Zhang Ji was just a white man, and he was the middle man. Now, although he has become the lieutenant around Ying Zheng and is highly appreciated by Ying Zheng, he cannot compare with Zhang Ji's favor and importance.
Zhang Ji sometimes seems out of tune and a bit derelict in his duties, but he is indeed a man of great wisdom.
With so many achievements, extensive connections in the military, support from the Mohist and Yin-Yang families, and close ties with Confucianism, other kings would have long been wary of Zhang Ji.
Ying Zheng's mind is rare in ancient and modern times.
Zhang Ji also knew right from wrong and knew how to advance and retreat. He would not hold all the power given to him by Ying Zheng in his hands, but would distribute it to his subordinate officials.
Although power was decentralized, no one dared to defy Zhang Jiyang with their own prestige and Yingzheng's favor, or try to evade Zhang Ji without thinking, but Zhang Ji was allowed to use this method to show that he did not take power and had no ambitions. original intention.
Although according to Qin law, there is suspicion of dereliction of duty, whether it is dereliction of duty or not is not a matter of Ying Zheng's words.
Zhang Ji didn't pay attention to Li Si's gaze, but as soon as he walked out of Zhangtai Palace, he was stopped by an old man squatting outside the palace gate.
Seeing this old man, Zhang Ji's expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen the living King of Hell, and he was about to run away, but was grabbed by his sleeve by the well-prepared old man.
Zhang Ji's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Feng Changqing, it's only been the twenty-seventh day of this month, and you've already led me through seventy-four rehearsals of the evening ceremony. Leave me a way to survive." Bar!"
At first, Zhang Ji thought that the evening ritual ceremony would be enough if it was practiced more than a dozen times, but the old Feng Changqing would propose some modifications every few days. Even after a rehearsal in the morning, it was ready at noon. New ideas. I rehearsed a new ritual in the afternoon, thought of a new one in the evening, and rehearsed it again at night.
It is not that he cannot understand the thoughts of Feng Changqing. After all, his wives all have unusual identities, and their specifications and etiquette are unprecedented. There are no classics to refer to, so he can only explore and innovate on his own, but he cannot let them He practiced endlessly!
So much so that he was somewhat frightened by Feng Changqing.
"You concubine, this is the last time, just the last time! You are going to get married in three days, how can you modify it again?"
"My maidservant! Seven days ago you told me that the date of divorce and marriage was only ten days away, but you ended up rehearsing the evening rituals for me twice a day!"
"Feng Changqing, don't bully others too much! A certain family also has a temper!"
Zhang Ji's eyes were red and he looked murderous, trying to scare off Feng Changqing.
But this old Feng Changqing is very indifferent. If you have the ability, you will really kill me.
When a gentleman bullies others, he is not making trouble unreasonably, nor is he trying to offend Zhang Ji with malicious intent. It is impossible for Zhang Ji to really attack him.
"Old Feng Changqing! If you continue to be so aggressive, I will not do this disrespectful ceremony!"
"Anyway, except for Lord Yin Yang of the Yin Yang Family and Princess Wei, the rest of the ladies have already become husband and wife with me! It's not a bad ceremony!"
After hearing this, Feng Changqing's expression froze, and he finally relaxed.
This evening ceremony attracted the attention of the whole world, and the political value contained in it was too great.
If he doesn't do it well, not only will he lose his life, but Qin will also suffer a lot of losses. Therefore, he, Feng Changqing, is also under a lot of pressure and has his own difficulties.
Seeing that Zhang Ji was really being pushed into a panic, he had no choice but to relent and promised to practice it three more times at most before the evening ceremony, and never more.
After finally getting rid of Feng Changqing's entanglement, Zhang Ji escaped directly into the Li Palace where Zhao Ji was recuperating from illness.
Zhao Ji, who is four months pregnant, has an increasingly bulging abdomen, but people's physiques are still different. When an ordinary woman is four months old, it is still obvious even if she wears a large robe to cover it up.
But Zhao Ji put on a large phoenix robe, which was indeed able to cover it up, but it just gave people the feeling that she had gained some weight.
"Do you really want me to kneel in front of you in front of everyone and call you Aniang?"
Zhang Jixu stared at the playful Zhao Ji speechlessly.
Originally, Zhao Ji was worried that her belly would be too obvious and reveal her pregnancy, so she planned to use illness as an excuse not to participate in the evening ceremony. But seeing that her belly didn't seem to be bulging significantly, Zhao Ji felt a little playful.
"Who made you, a poor little guy, have your parents die early? Even your master has died long ago. There is no elder to perform the obeisance for you."
Beside the soup pool, Zhao Ji was lying on her side on the soft couch, with her delicate jade hands on her snow-white chin, making her shoulders, waist, hind butt and slender jade legs form a perfect arc, with a piece of red phoenix robe underneath. Bai Huahua's delicate body was exposed to Zhang Ji's sight, her charming eyes were as silky as silk, and her red lips were lightly parted. Half-covered by the hazy water vapor, they became even more alluring.
"Besides, on weekdays, the most you do is call me queen a few times. How can it be exciting to see you kneeling in front of me and calling me mother-in-law?"
Zhang Ji rolled his eyes at Zhao Ji. He felt that Zhao Ji was retaliating against him for not letting her use the counterattack style that Jingyu used last time to poke him.
How could that kind of posture be suitable for a pregnant woman?
If he failed to stand firm and made a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous, so Zhang Ji naturally refused.
"Come on, now you can practice the part of kneeling to your parents in the evening ceremony."
Zhao Ji suddenly sat up, her wide red phoenix robe hanging down, and a pair of white and exquisite little feet painted with dark purple nail polish were exposed from under the hem of the phoenix robe.
Zhang Ji looked at Zhao Ji blankly, feeling that Zhao Ji seemed a little different today.
She didn't have that clingy person, but she was still seducing him.
And the half-smiling look on that charming pretty face always seemed familiar.
"Kneel down."
"Zhao Ji" lowered her voice, her voice was deep and contained a bit of majesty belonging to the Queen Mother.
"I ordered you to kneel down. Are the guards going to disobey the order?"
"Zhao Ji" Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was a little angry because Zhang Ji didn't obey his orders.
Although I didn't understand what illness Zhao Ji suddenly fell into, it was normal for a pregnant woman to have unstable emotions.
Moreover, if a pregnant woman is angry, it is not good for the body and the fetus.
Alas, forget it, just think of it as accommodating pregnant women.
With a slight sigh, Zhang Ji took the initiative to kneel in front of Zhao Ji, with his hips slightly raised, his head lowered, and his forehead only a short distance away from the wet ground.
"The guard seems unconvinced?"
A jade foot painted with purple nail polish quickly enlarged in front of Zhang Ji's eyes. The purple nail on the big toe crossed Zhang Ji's lips, stained with a touch of transparent crystal.
The crystal-stained big toe touched Zhang Ji's chin, and the jade feet were slightly bent to form an arch, lifting Zhang Ji's head.
Those phoenix eyes smeared with purple eyeshadow looked at Zhang Ji with an aggressive smile.
"Lick it!"
"Zhao Ji" once again put her toes painted with purple nail polish in front of Zhang Ji's lips. It was self-evident what she wanted Zhang Ji to lick.
