Zhao Jia wanted to marry a Korean princess. He had told Lu Buwei before that in order to stabilize the other party, he agreed to the matter. He originally planned to delay it, but he did not expect that the other party would allocate his thoughts to Zhao Ji. Thinking of this, Lu Buwei glanced at the Queen Mother Zhao Ji inadvertently, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
This bitch really did everything she could to disgust him.
But Zhao Ji really thought that she could fight with him, Lu Buwei, just by relying on the deposed prince of Zhao State?
joke!
Lu Buwei's wrinkled old face was still calm, making it difficult to see his emotional changes at the moment. Facing the gazes of the ministers, he said to Zhao Jia: "Does Marquis Chang Xin think what the truth is saying is reasonable? Our Qin State We can propose marriage to Marquis Changxin and even hold a wedding, but Zhao Guo cannot remain silent."
What does this old guy want?
Zhao Jia's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart suddenly tightened. He felt that there was something in Lu Buwei's words, but at this moment, facing the gazes of the ministers, he could only nod his head and said: "What the Prime Minister said is reasonable, but has the Prime Minister forgotten my situation? If I was favored in Zhao, how could I come to Qin as a hostage?"
He chose to be miserable and take a step back to see what Lu Buwei wanted to do.
"One thing comes back to another. No matter what the young master, the royal blood of the Zhao Kingdom flows in his body. As the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom, how could the Zhao Kingdom not express your marriage? Unless the Zhao Kingdom wants to become the laughing stock of all countries, Otherwise, this gift will still have to be given.”
There was a glint in Lu Buwei's eyes, and he spoke unhurriedly.
Will Zhao Wangyan still care about his reputation?
Zhao Jia doesn't think so. His cheap old man is extremely willful and does everything based on his preferences. How can he care about what other countries think? Unless there is some strategic intention involved, he wants Zhao Wangyan to do it for his dispensable son. He felt that the possibility of ceding land was almost zero.
"Is it too early for the Prime Minister to say this? We haven't mentioned this marriage yet!"
Zhao Jia smiled bitterly, taking retreat as a step forward, and said slowly: "If the marriage is really decided, it won't be too late to talk about it then."
Lu Buwei nodded, ignored Zhao Jia, and continued to rest with his eyes closed, as if he just said it casually.
Following Lu Buwei's statement, the officials naturally stood aside and watched. No one wanted to offend the most powerful people in the court. After all, King Ying Zheng of Qin, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and Prime Minister Lu Buwei all agreed. If others objected, it would seem a bit insignificant. The eyesight is sharp.
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers and saw that no one objected. He said calmly: "The matter is settled like this. Marquis Changxin is ready to go to South Korea to propose marriage in a few days!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen Mother!"
Zhao Jia handed over his luggage to the two people on the throne, and at the same time glanced at Lu Buwei. He was a little curious about what gift Lu Buwei wanted.
The land of Zhao State?
It seems that only the land of Zhao is worth coveting for Lu Buwei, because Lu Buwei's fiefdom is Luoyang, which belongs to the land of Hejian, and the land of Hejian borders Zhao and Yan. Over the years, Lu Buwei has continued to expand Qin's territory between Hejian. Why didn't they use their land to expand their own fiefdom?
Historically, Lu Buwei accepted ten cities in the Yan Kingdom as private towns.
At that time, Qin general Jing Ji occupied Zhao and attacked Yan, capturing two cities of Yan. In order to eliminate this scourge, King Xi of Yan adopted the method of driving a wedge between Qin and Zhao. He sent his adviser Cai Wu to sneak across Zhao to Qin and met Qin. Prime Minister Lu Buwei took out the King of Yan's letter, which stated that he would dedicate ten cities in the river of Yan State to him as a private settlement.
At that time, Ying Zheng was still young and Lu Buwei was in power. He informed Ying Zheng of the matter and then accepted the ten cities in Ying Zheng's name.
With one operation, everything becomes reasonable, legal and compliant.
It can be said that Lu Buwei is the person with the most fiefdoms in the Qin State at the moment. Without a huge fiefdom as a foundation, how could Lu Buwei be able to support so many followers.
Now, Lu Buwei is undoubtedly eyeing Zhao's cities and land in the land of the rivers!
Planning for your own retirement?
Does Lu Buwei look like the kind of person who can retreat bravely?
It doesn’t quite look like it!
…
Yong Temple.
After Zhao Jia's meeting, he was brought here by a chamberlain.
Ying Zheng took out the documents that he had prepared long ago and handed them over. With a smile on his face, he said softly: "This is the document that the Queen Mother asked the widow to prepare for you. Whether you can go to South Korea to propose marriage this time depends on you. , As far as I know, the Red Lotus Princess is deeply loved by King Han, and it may not be that easy for you to marry her."
During the Warring States period, etiquette and music collapsed, and there were not so many rules for marrying a wife. Just like Ying Zheng, he married a princess of Chu when he was fifteen years old.
As the king of Qin, it was naturally easy for him to marry a wife, and even all countries sent princesses for Ying Zheng to choose.
Right now, Ying Zheng has no less than five women...
As for the original owner, his father doesn't care for him, his stepmother doesn't love him, and he is an honest and affectionate type. Marrying a wife has naturally become a problem. It would be simple to have an ordinary concubine, but the original owner is obviously not such a casual person. He inherited his mother's legacy. With more personality than Zhao Wangyan, the marriage has naturally been postponed until now.
As for the so-called Zhou Rites... it depends on personal preference. If you are willing to follow it, follow it, or if you don't want to, it's okay.
Marriage snatching is even very popular in this era.
The girl you like may not necessarily belong to you. If someone else likes her, she may be snatched away by others.
Of course, this is limited to ordinary people.
For a prince like Zhao Jia, the marriage is either undecided or irrevocable. Moreover, when a noble woman marries a foreign country, she will be accompanied by many Teng girls, and most of those Teng girls are the sisters and nieces of the woman they marry. Or a maid, etc.
Therefore, many things happened that future generations cannot understand. For example, nieces and aunts could marry the same king at the same time, and uncles could also take nieces as wives and concubines...
What do you love sister-in-law~
That is even more normal operation.
"Jiabai thanks you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Jia took the document and saluted Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng raised his hands for support, the smile on his face did not diminish, and said slowly: "The person you should really thank is the Queen Mother. I am just taking advantage of the situation, but regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, Marquis Changxin must come back, otherwise, It’s going to be hard for a few people.”
At the end of his speech, Ying Zheng's expression became more solemn.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jia is not an ungrateful person. I will remember the kindness of the Queen Mother and repay her with a spring of water!"
Zhao Jia looked serious and said in a deep voice.
Ying Zheng's face softened a little, and his eyes showed a little sparkle, and he said: "Marquis Changxin has gone to South Korea this time, so he might as well have some contact with the Ninth Young Master Han Fei. I am very interested in him."
"To be honest with you, your Majesty, I am also very interested in him. I married Princess Honglian this time because of Han Fei. Your Majesty may not know that Princess Honglian and Ninth Young Master Han Fei are siblings."
When Zhao Jia heard this, he immediately chuckled and told a piece of news that Ying Zheng would know sooner or later.
Even if Zhao Jia doesn't talk about this now, Ying Zheng will know about it from other places after a while. Rather than thinking too much about it at the time, Ying Zheng would be better off being more magnanimous and directly admitting his purpose.
Ying Zheng looked surprised and looked at Zhao Jia curiously: "Why?"
"With a smart brother, my sister will not be too stupid."
Zhao Jia said with a smile.
There was a pause.
He continued: "Of course, I also want to make friends with Han Fei through this. He is a very talented person. If I have such an uncle, I will definitely not be bored."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt envious of Zhao Jia's casualness. He pondered for a while and said softly: "If you meet Han Fei, please say hello to me."
"promise!"
Zhao Jia responded with cupped hands.
Ying Zheng nodded and continued: "Before going to South Korea, don't forget to tell the Queen Mother."
"Getting ready to go."
PS: I’ve been a little annoyed by my girlfriend these past two days.
