Chapter 432 Reconciliation

Xianyang Palace.

"The envoys of the princes go in and out of Lu Buwei's land day and night, and there is a risk that chaos may occur over time."

"The land of Henan is rich in products and is located in an important place east of our great Qin Dynasty. If there is an accident, there may be a big disaster."

"Lu Buwei always harbors resentment and may be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty."

…

Han Fei walked out of the palace and shook his head, his head a little fried.

Today, at the court meeting, many courtiers used the incident in South Korea to criticize Lu Buwei. It's just that this time, not so many guests came forward to speak for Lu Buwei.

The guests who followed Lu Buwei back then have been gradually replaced in recent years, and the remaining ones have already changed their families.

Whether in the army or in the court, there is not much power left in the Qin Dynasty.

However, this fatal blow came too hard after all.

Han Fei didn't know what would happen to Lu Buwei. However, the consequences are obvious.

The two forces within the Qin State, the aristocratic family and the foreign relatives, are afraid that they will no longer live in peace as before after losing the last excuse that once united them.

Many people saw it and showed their uneasiness. However, Li Si was not included. Because behind him is the King of Qin.

"Senior brother!" Li Si came forward and bowed, "If you have free time today, how about drinking together?"

"I've made a date with someone for a drink today, do you want to go with me?"

Li Si was a little confused, Han Fei smiled, pulled him and left.

"Is this the residence of Lord Hanyang?"

At the gate, Li Si was a little stunned. Just when he thought Han Fei wanted to report to the guard in front of the door, Han Fei had already walked into the house.

This is very rude behavior.

But the guard at the door didn't stop him, he seemed used to it.

Han Fei took Li Si directly to the backyard. He seemed to know everyone along the way, whether they were maids or servants.

The floor made of ancient wood in the corridor is smooth and smooth, and it is very comfortable to step on. The yards on both sides are paved with cobblestones, and lush vegetation and flowers are planted in the middle.

Han Fei and Li Si walked through the winding corridor, and saw Zhao Shuang sitting under the eaves in the courtyard with wooden floors. There were rows of people sitting in front of him, and beside him were soldiers holding armor. scholar.

Li Si was shocked. These are all members of the aristocratic family, and many of them are well-known. Could it be that they broke into a confidential meeting between Zhao Shuang and the clan?

Li Si was trying to stop Han Fei from going in, but the other party had already waved.

Zhao Shuang looked over and waved here, indicating to wait a moment.

The meeting seemed to be coming to an end, and the people from these clans were leaving one after another.

Along the way, when they saw Han Fei and Li Si, they left in a hurry without saying anything or greeting them.

Han Fei and Li Si took off their shoes, stepped on the wooden floor in the courtyard, came to Zhao Shuang, and saw him holding up the bamboo slips.

"I just came back from South Korea, what are you busy with?"

Yan Lingji and her maid brought three short tables from the side, placed them in place, and served drinks and cakes. Everyone bowed and sat down. Li Si didn't look sideways and didn't dare to go overboard, but Han Fei was much more relaxed.

"The trade route with Da Yueshi."

Zhao Shuang took the wine prince from Yan Lingji and smiled slightly.

"Now the trade road has opened, but there is a bandit ropeway along the way, so each family collects the goods and sells them together. The Dayue clan has ordered a hundred carts of silk, bronzes, and lacquer plates, and I am distributing them to each family. Amount of goods."

When Zhao Shuang said this, he suddenly looked at Han Fei.

"How about you also prepare a few cars?"

Han Fei smiled and waved.

"I don't have that much money."

Li Si was nearby, a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, what Zhao Shuang and Han Fei said should not be known to outsiders. But Zhao Shuang obviously didn't avoid it.

"How is the repair of your city going?"

"The city wall is half completed, but almost all the houses in the city have been repaired."

"Then what name are you going to give?"

"Just call it Jincheng!"

Zhao Shuang didn't think much and said casually.

The afternoon sun was a bit pleasant, and Li Si was in a daze. The glint of swords and shadows in the court hall just now seemed a bit far away. Behind the courtyard is a puddle of water. When the sliding doors in the house are opened layer by layer, the clear water color comes into view. The lake and water scenery are grand and high, as if you are in another world.

Li Si's eyes were staring up and down Xianyang City, and he naturally knew that the Chu family relatives had begun to prepare to deal with Zhao Shuang.

But looking at it now, Zhao Shuang didn't seem to notice it at all.

Or does he have other plans?

The moment of indulging in the beautiful scenery was short-lived after all, and Li Si quickly regained his composure, as usual.

Huayang Palace.

"What have you two been tinkering with lately?"

The afternoon sun was warm, and Queen Mother Huayang was walking in the harem garden, followed by Lord Changping and Lord Changwen.

The seemingly ordinary question made Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun hesitate.

"Why, is there really a secret?"

Queen Mother Huayang stopped, looked back at Lord Changping, and asked.

"Ah...no, nothing?"

"There is news that the imperial court is considering moving Lu Buwei's fiefdom to Shu. You two must have worked hard in this!"

Chang Wenjun glanced at Changping Jun and said with a smile.

"Lu Buwei's fiefdom is in an important position, and keeping it will be a disaster after all. If we move him to Shu and let him live there until his old age, there will be no trouble."

"Have you never thought that once you lose power in the future, you princes will end up like Lu Buwei?"

"this……"

Chang Wenjun originally thought that Queen Mother Huayang would insist on this matter, but she let it go gently.

"Well, it's useless to talk about it now. I don't think it's okay to care about what you told me last time. It's not the case. Recently, I have lost my old face and asked people to find Zhao Shuang. Ask him to leave twenty cars for you."

When Queen Mother Huayang said this, Lord Changping's face dropped, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Seeing this, Queen Mother Huayang just smiled.

"Zhao Shuang is the son-in-law of our Chu people. We are all one family. If anything happens, we will not be able to get through it."

"The Queen Mother, don't you know what is happening in South Korea?"

Lord Changping looked at Queen Mother Huayang with a very dissatisfied tone.

"Some trivial things are not worth talking about."

"These are no small things!"

Lord Changping contradicted Queen Mother Huayang for the first time.

"Compared to our losses in the Central Plains, those twenty loads of goods are nothing."

After saying that, Lord Changping handed over and left. Chang Wenjun was a little helpless, so he gave a hasty salute and chased after him.

Queen Mother Huayang looked at all this and shook her head slightly. She could feel that the relationship between Chang Pingjun and Zhao Shuang could no longer be bridged.

In the past, Lord Changping's hostility was only verbal. So this time, he really made plans to take action.

After a long time, Queen Mother Huayang sighed helplessly.

"The child is getting older!"
