When Zhao Jia walked out of the palace, what caught his eye was Zhao Gao. He stood waiting at the door as always, like a door god who would never fall, protecting the couple in the palace from wind and rain.
The fellow countryman is still reliable... Zhao Jia sighed inwardly. If it were an ordinary person guarding the door, he would not be relieved. Zhao Gao is different. Everyone is a Zhao person. In a sense, they will eventually The purpose is most likely the same.
If the history of Qin Dynasty had not changed much...
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhao Jia straightened his belt, walked slowly to Zhao Gao, smiled slightly, and said hello as usual, with an inaudible tone.
Zhao Gao lowered his eyes, nodded politely, and said respectfully: "Young master, you are welcome, this is the duty of a slave."
Lao Zhao has always been a polite person.
This is much better than Wei Zhuang.
"Let's find a place to have a cup of tea. I have something I want to talk to you about, so I might have to keep you for a while...it's very important."
Zhao Jia's eyes moved slightly, looking at the fellow villager in front of him who was most likely his biggest ally. The smile on his face did not diminish, and his words were even more casual, but the content of what he said made Zhao Gao's expression move slightly. He couldn't help but Jing raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jia, with confusion and curiosity in his eyes.
"Sir, the Queen Mother's side..."
"Don't worry, I won't be able to get up for half an hour."
Zhao Jia said quite confidently that in order to temporarily get rid of Zhao Ji's entanglement, he spent a lot of effort, and his treasury was reduced by more than half.
Zhao Gao was silent for a while. Based on his observations over the past few days, he knew that Zhao Jia was not bragging and said without raising his hand: "Master, please."
He immediately turned around and led the way for Zhao Jia.
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at a palace in the backyard of Lanchi Palace.
This place is quite lonely. It seems that few people come here. There is a sense of coldness in the air. Perhaps this kind of atmosphere can only be found in the deep palace. It feels like dreaming back to the Forbidden City. Of course, the Forbidden City It is not as grand and tall as the palace in front of you.
Those beams and pillars are simply not comparable to those of later generations.
Perhaps only a world like Qin Shi could be so unreasonable. There were as many wooden pillars as there were three people surrounded by.
"Six Sword Slave?"
Zhao Jia's brows moved slightly. In his perception, a cold aura emerged. As he carefully sensed it, six figures of different shapes appeared in his mind. However, the auras of the six people were extremely weird, not like six figures. Individuals, on the contrary, are like one person, connected with each other.
Six in one?
The method of the net is really interesting. No, it should be said that Zhao Gao is interesting. He can find a new way to combine six Tianzi-level killers into a perfect killing weapon!
Perhaps only the iron knot of Jianqing in this world can withstand the assassination of these six people.
Zhao Jia suddenly thought of the soul-eating technique he practiced. This kind of technique was completely different from normal martial arts. It was biased toward fantasy and immortality. Perhaps it was a legacy from ancient times.
When it comes to the soul, this is something that ordinary martial arts cannot touch.
Zhao Gao did not call the Six Swordsmen to come out. He took Zhao Jia into the palace and lit the lights in the palace along the way.
The palace here is relatively remote and is covered by the main hall in front, so the light inside is extremely dim. It would be really dark if there were no lights.
….
"Sir, my servant's residence is a bit crude, but I still want to see Haihan."
Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Jia faintly with his dead fish eyes that had no human fluctuations, and said unhurriedly.
It's not that simple, but it's a bit spooky. Aren't you afraid of getting rheumatism?
Zhao Jia looked around and cursed in his heart, but said considerately: "It's really simple, why don't you move to my place? The mansion Cheng Xi gave me is not small enough to accommodate you and me. "
Zhao Gao twitched the corner of his mouth, how could he leave here? This was the base camp he had been operating for many years, and involved many secrets in Luowang Tianluo. He skipped Zhao Jia's nonsensical words and said lightly: "Young Master is joking. , I wonder if the master has anything to say to this slave."
He looked at it curiously
With Zhao Jia.
During this period, it was the first time that Zhao Jia approached him so solemnly.
"It's a small matter. A few days ago, the Queen Mother impulsively promised to make me the Marquis of Changxin and reward me with all her fiefdoms."
Zhao Jia said lightly.
The moment Zhao Gao heard this, his expression froze, and a flash of horror flashed in his eyes. He stared at Zhao Jia and said in a deep voice: "Don't you know what Prime Minister Lu is doing?"
Whether to be granted a title or not, the key to this matter lies in Lu Buwei's attitude. Everyone knows that Lu Buwei was titled Marquis Wenxin, and Zhao Jia was suddenly granted the title Marquis Changxin. The meaning of this is somewhat intriguing.
besides.
Once Zhao Jia is granted the title of Marquis, his status as the eldest son of the Zhao State, who was originally the hostage of the Qin State, will be completely changed, and he will become a member of the aristocratic class of the Qin State, from a prisoner to a guest, and even have the power to participate in the Qin State's court meetings. , the impact of this is a bit huge.
For the Qin State, it was no less than a major earthquake, and most likely no less than a rebellion!
Can Lu Buwei agree?
Can the ministers agree?
"I reminded the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother insisted on going her own way. She has been dissatisfied with Lu Xiangguo for a long time. You should know about this. And you have been with the Queen Mother for a long time. You should know what kind of character she is."
Zhao Jia shook his head and said somewhat helplessly.
Zhao Jia had no reason to persuade him about this matter at the moment, even if he wanted to. Besides, he really needed an identity, and it didn't matter even if he fell out with Lu Buwei.
You can't serve Zhao Ji all the time and completely fall into depravity.
Men must have dignity and pursuits. Over time, both men and women will get tired of doing just that. Appropriate display of men's charm is the way to attract each other.
"Isn't it possible that the young master can't stop the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Gao frowned. He didn't believe that Zhao Ji could not persuade Zhao Ji with his words. What about the other party's eloquent skills in the past?
Could it be that everything is malfunctioning?
In the final analysis, this matter must have something to do with Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia admitted frankly: "I don't want to stop it either. You should know that I want to marry a Korean princess. I need a certain identity, status, and power!"
"It is very dangerous to be an enemy of the prime minister. Perhaps the young master's position as Captain Xinhou will not be secure, let alone marrying a Korean princess."
Zhao Gao's eyes were cold and he reminded in a low voice.
"Old Zhao, have you forgotten one thing? Lu Xiangguo is getting old. In a year or two, the King of Qin will also take charge. At that time, he will eventually return the power in his hands to the King of Qin. It is not natural to be an enemy of him. Looking for trouble is about standing. If you want to stand high in Qin, you have to take some risks.
….
Although the risks are high, the rewards are high.
Do you want to take a gamble? "
Zhao Jia smiled slightly, his eyes were confident and indifferent, and he said unhurriedly that he did not need to worry about anything when facing Zhao Gao, because the two of them were in the same boat at the moment. Whether they could go higher or see farther was up to them. It depends on Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng, because there is a relationship that cannot be changed.
Ying Zheng is Zhao Ji’s biological son.
To use a modern joke: It is impossible to find out who Ying Zheng’s biological father is, but Zhao Ji must be his biological mother!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive that day."
Zhao Gao looked cold and said in a deep voice.
Zhao Jia smiled and said: "Prime Minister Lu has been in power for more than ten years. We are not the only ones targeting him. He stands at the pinnacle of power in a country. If he doesn't step down, how will we come to power? Some things happen sooner or later. What's going to happen depends on whether you dare to give it a try.
If it's too late, you won't even be able to drink the soup. "
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said, "Young Master is quite confident."
"Back then, Lu Xiangguo had a lot of rare things to live in, which made him the most powerful man in the country now. Now the King of Qin is no longer the same. He needs a knife, a knife that can tear Lu Xiangguo apart. I am willing to be this knife, and he will not refuse."
Zhao Jia directly brought out a set of theories from Concubine Yan yesterday. It has to be said that with a good wife, some things don't need to be thought about.
.
After Concubine Yan's analysis, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Ying Zheng has lost Cheng Yu, and he is in urgent need of a knife to cause chaos in the Qin court. No one is more suitable than Zhao Jia, an "outsider"!
"Does the young master know what happened to the last sword?"
Zhao Gao asked instead without answering.
"Cheng Yu? He is too arrogant and hasty. I am not him. Besides, I still have you!"
Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Gao with burning eyes. He did not believe that the other party could not understand the current situation of the Qin State. Lu Buwei's downfall was inevitable. It was just a matter of when. After so many years, no prime minister of the Qin State had died a good death!
How could Lu Buwei be an exception?
As for the so-called secondary father, biological father, etc., they are nothing in the face of power.
It would be nice if Lu Buwei was willing to hand over power earlier, but the longer he delays, the worse his end will be.
His retainers and the power in the court were too huge and deeply rooted. Without killing Lu Buwei, which emperor could rest assured?
If Zhao Gao cannot see through this, how will he be able to get the CRRC government order in the future.
Will Ying Zheng suddenly re-appoint someone he doesn't understand?
Maybe Zhao Gao hooked up with Ying Zheng because of Lao Ai...
Zhao Gao lowered his head and gave a flawless answer: "Young master is joking, but I dare not stand up to Lu Xiangguo."
"Just think I'm joking. The days are long, so think about it slowly."
Zhao Jia smiled and said softly, then looked outside the door, "It's getting late, I should go back, farewell!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without Zhao Gao seeing him off.
What needs to be said has been said, and he believes that Zhao Gao will make the right choice.
Zhao Gao really had no interest in sending Zhao Jia away. His mood was a bit fluctuating at the moment. His slender fingers kept dancing to each other, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look. He hadn't chosen a position yet. Before the situation became unclear, he would quietly serve his master. That's the kingly way. If Zhao Jia can really secure his position as Marquis of Changxin, it won't be too late.
But it seems that the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom is becoming more and more opaque!
Did he just think of all this on the spur of the moment, or had he planned everything from the first time he met Zhao Ji.
If it's the former, that's it. If it's the latter... then the other party is a bit scary.
