"Don't deal with the magnates of the Qin State, let them guess, let them think, the more suspicions, the more stable Xiao'e'er's position as the concubine will be. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Li Yuan has to keep a low profile, Chun Shenjun definitely sent spies to monitor, if you have a close relationship with the magnates of the Qin State, it will be very troublesome to spread it to the country."
"No matter how ugly those princesses speak, Xiao'er shouldn't refute them. The conflict at the city gate has made Tian Ling vigilant. Before the wedding, don't go to Huayang Palace again, this queen mother makes many people dissatisfied, and we must not make others unhappy. β
"As for the princess, I don't want to choose a concubine, and I'll see it on the day of the wedding."
Mi'e said: "If my sister runs, the princesses of other countries are not eligible to compete, what is my sister waiting for?" β
Meng Jiang held the wine bottle, pondered for a moment and said: "I was waiting for someone, I originally said that I wanted to meet me, but there was a delay on the way, and I lost contact with him. That person lives in the Qin Palace, and the Qin Palace is different from our Chu Palace. β
"Our Chu Palace is dominated by the king of Chu, and no one dares to say much. But the Qin Palace is very complicated, not only is the Queen Mother's family dominant, but also the forces of King Qin and LΓΌ Buwei, and there is also the shallow Mrs. Zhao Ji. Yingzi Chu has passed away, how could the former king not give his favorite woman a little protection, those forces have not seen it, how can I easily step in? β
"In a word, the Qin Palace is a big quagmire. Xiao'e Er must listen clearly, you are bound to become the concubine of King Qin, no matter what position you are in, whether you are familiar with the Queen Mother or not, you must safeguard the interests of King Qin. After all, the queen mother is old, and the power of the harem will be withdrawn sooner or later, you can't just look at the strength of Huayang Palace on the surface, many internal situations still need to be understood. β
He also said to Qu Yuan: "On the day of the wedding, no matter what happens, Dr. Mi Yuan needs to return to China immediately. LΓΌ Buwei broke away from Taoism, you are a Taoist, and there will inevitably be disputes between you and him. Confucianism is chaotic with literature, chivalry is forbidden with martial arts, as long as there is a quarrel, those subordinates with different political views in the country will embarrass you. β
Qu Yuan, a member of the Mi clan, is also called Mi Yuan. In 278 BC, the Qin general Bai Qi attacked Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, in one fell swoop, and should have thrown himself into the river to die, but in the time and space of Yingzheng, he was rescued by someone and became an official who managed copywriting and idle duties.
Qu Yuan sighed: "Has Jiang Nu already given up on my Da Chu? β
Meng Jiang said: "It's not that I gave up, but my uncle King Chu gave up himself." The doctor didn't die last time, and after he came back, did he give you real power? With your intellect, you should be able to see all this. β
"When I was in Chu, many future plans were very clear, as long as the ten-year plan I gave was carried out, Great Chu would definitely prosper for a hundred years. But the king of Chu in our family is stubborn and self-serving, loyal and disobedient, and does not listen to people's advice. The nations are resting and recuperating their armours and stabilizing the hearts of the people, but he is still hiding in the palace and messing around, and if he does not go to court a few times a month, the country will be annexed by other countries. β
"If that day comes, you will all live in seclusion, and perhaps you will be spared. And I can't tell you another purpose for entering Qin this time, because saying it will bring you great trouble. I don't know, if this matter is successful, maybe it can bring some respite to my Da Chu. β
This matter is the assassination of Ying Zheng, as soon as the king of Qin dies, the Qin State will definitely experience political ups and downs again, and there is no time to care about the affairs of other countries. For both public and private purposes, Meng Jiang has a reason to kill Yingzheng, but he can't tell outsiders.
When Lu Buwei learned about Princess Zixuan, he was also troubled and couldn't think of a countermeasure. In the east beside him, Li Si couldn't think of how to deal with it, so he could only listen to Lu Buwei's arrangement.
During his time in Lu Mansion, Li Si did learn a lot. In the past, in Lengyue's life, I saw all the disputes of civil forces, and I learned from Lu Buwei for a while, and I knew what the way of being a minister was, and I saw it more thoroughly in terms of the scale between the king and the minister.
Li Si asked: "Xiangguo, you have a plan, originally we elected Princess Zhao Guomin as the concubine, but the news of Huayang Palace came, and the princess of Chu State still needs to be appointed as the concubine, the whole plan has been disrupted, and there is still an explanation for Zhao Guo." What should we say about this statement? If you don't say it well, Qin Zhao will have disputes again. β
LΓΌ Buwei sighed: "The plan can't catch up with the changes, and he actually came with a map of the Chu State, if he disagrees with the Queen Mother on this matter, the Queen Mother will have a lot of reasons to divide power." β
Dongfang nodded and said: "It turns out that Li Xin, who followed us, has made several wrong decisions since Xiangguo, and it is very likely that he will be on the side of the Queen Mother." The big seal of the city defense soldiers has always been in the hands of Huayang Palace, and several generals only listen to the orders of the Queen Mother, and we can't intervene at all. β
"There is a great priest in the inner palace, and that one will not listen to us. In my opinion, I still persuade the king to make Princess Zixuan the concubine. The key is whether this princess of Chu will marry into the Qin Palace, we don't know. β
Lu Buwei rubbed his forehead and said, "I heard that Princess Zixuan is very strong in the Chu State, and she can even disobey the orders of the King of Chu, and she has done a lot of things on her own. The disclosure of people's identities is to use the pressure of the Qin State to give reasons that we can't refuse. Lees, what do you mean by the king? β
Li Si said: "Since Zixuan's arrival, the king has been locked up in the dormitory, and he doesn't even go to Huayang Palace to say hello. From what I know about the king, he is very dissatisfied, and there is no reason to refuse, so he can't turn this corner for a while. No matter who is appointed as the concubine, she is the king's woman, but for various reasons, she can't decide anything, and she will inevitably be depressed. At this time, we can't persuade him, and it's rare to annoy him. β
Lu Buwei and Dongfang nodded, originally said that it was good to establish the Min Dynasty, but the people did not refuse. Now, if they change their minds and appoint someone else, the young king will definitely not be happy, and they will not be able to do this wicked man.
Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said: "Who is the concubine, let's not care, let the Queen Mother be the villain." Guo Kai was warned by Princess Mindai that he didn't dare to come to me during this time, otherwise his appearance would be in trouble. We just have to build a good relationship with the city defense soldiers, and don't send people to the post house, so as to maintain the smooth progress of the wedding. β
"Tomorrow's wedding period, all roads must arrange our people, in case there will be assassins again, and the Queen Mother will be an excuse to be mad. Dongfang went to check the treasury armor again, and the use of military equipment by assassins from other countries must not happen, and we must not make the same mistake again. β
"Li Si is also going to the Cold Moon Mansion to negotiate security matters, those masters who are mixed in the ranks of various countries, it is better to let the Cold Moon Mansion keep an eye on it, so that I can rest assured."
Li Si nodded when he heard this, and rushed to the Cold Moon Mansion that night to ask about something.
Entering the hall, I saw Hu Ji talking to Mindai, and when she saw Li Si coming, Hu Ji frowned and said, "There is still no news from Zi Ming, where is she hiding?" Sister Zhong has always been guarding in the palace, and the eldest brother is also in the dormitory, so there is basically no environment for assassination. β
"Does she want to assassinate her at the time of her wedding? It's also impossible, in public, you can't get close to the eldest brother at all, not to mention that there is still Sister Mindai. This colleague, it's really hard to guess, it is estimated that after entering the palace, I can only carry out the means, and I can't enter the palace, I really can't tell which one is the real her. β
Mindai smiled: "Why bother thinking about it, with me in the palace, anyone who knows martial arts can be monitored by me, and the other party can't make a move at all." β
Orchid shook her head and said, "What if it's time to sleep?" Day and night defense, it is difficult to prevent house thieves, and the other party may also see this. What's more, the palace is dominated by Huayang Palace, many people don't know, and Sister Zhong can't find out everyone's details, which is really nerve-wracking. β
Li Si said quietly, he didn't dare to talk more. Now in Leng Yue Mansion, Liji handed over everything to Hu Ji to handle, and people are also very smart, and people can guess the purpose of their own visit.
Hu Ji said: "The purpose of Brother Li Si's coming here should be that Lu Buwei is not worried about safety. This Xiangguo is in charge of a lot of things, and he is not very good at being a person, so why should he interfere in the affairs of the Cold Moon Mansion? β
"You go back and tell him that no one will dare to assassinate him at tomorrow's wedding, and who to choose as the concubine will do it with the will of the eldest brother. With Hu'er's understanding of the eldest brother, there may be a dispute with the queen mother on the choice of concubines tomorrow, let him wait and see what happens, and don't intervene in many things, which will make the eldest brother bored. β
Li Si nodded, took Hu Ji's words, and returned to the Lu Mansion.
Hu Ji and Toshiyo said some other things, especially the news of the investigation of Zi Ming, and the two exchanged many views.
As for who to appoint as the concubine, Toshiyo himself felt that it didn't matter. The things in the palace, she sees more thoroughly than anyone else, what kind of woman Ying Zheng marries, who will be in the harem in the future, the key is to see the impact on Ying Zheng.
Mindai was born in Leng Yue, and he was one step stronger than others congenitally, and he was closer to Yingzheng. It's not that if you become a concubine today, you can continue to sit down the day after tomorrow.
What the two talked about the most was how to share power with Huayang Palace and snatch the power of the Queen Mother after Min Dai entered the palace. In addition to Min Dai marrying in the past, the young priest around him will also accompany the marriage, and when the time comes, when he meets the big priest, the palace guards can be used for themselves.
As long as it lasts for a few years, when the Queen Mother is old, she will naturally be able to open up the connection between the Cold Moon Mansion and let the two sides come and go freely.
Min Dai suddenly asked, "Will Meng Jiang be martial?" β
Hu Ji replied: "Probably not, Sister Meng Jiang has been with me for a while, and we can't see the specifics." What does my sister want to say? β
Min Dai said: "If Meng Jiang knows martial arts, this makes me think of a person, could it be Princess Zixuan, who is Meng Jiang herself?" Zixuan also lost her martial arts, and she never lifted her veil or spoke out in the Deyi Building, just for fear of being seen by Hu'er. β
"Listening to what you said, Meng Jiang has always been in the ranks of the Chu State, but Li Ji went to the post house to investigate, and she didn't find it at all, but Li Yuan and Qu Yuan did say the name Jiang Nu, which means that Meng Jiang did not leave Xianyang."
Orchid stood up abruptly, with an incredulous expression, and after thinking for a long time, she sat down in a complicated mood, her brows furrowed even tighter.
Toshiyo asked, "Did my sister guess anything?" Even if Zixuan is Meng Jiang, it is harmless to Gongzi, and I will not fight for that position. β
Hu Ji said: "If Sister Meng Jiang knows martial arts, many unfigured links can be explained." Zixuan will be martial, Meng Jiang will be martial, and the two of them will marry in Qin with secrets that we don't know. β
"They are all Chu people, and they have the same purpose. If Zixuan is Meng Jiang, then will Zi Ming also be Zixuan? Zi Ming is also a native of Chu. If these three people with different identities are one person, the eldest brother is in danger......"
