General Qin

"Five?"

Ying Yinman was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, her face turned completely red.

"Zhao Tuo!"

She screamed angrily, clenched her fists, and rushed towards Zhao Tuo.

...

In the room, the three young masters who listened to Fusu's lecture with bitter faces suddenly opened their eyes and pricked up their ears.

"Listen, it sounds like sister's voice."

"Why are you calling Zhao Jun's name?"

"My sister seems very angry."

"Calm down."

Fusu glared at the three of them, and suppressed the three young masters who were about to move again.

But he couldn't help worrying in his heart.

Zhao Jun is not from Meng Lang, is he?

...

A moment later, in the porch outside the house.

"Didn't the disciple's words follow you, why hit me?"

Zhao Tuo covered his face with a wry smile, and stretched out his hand to touch the spot on his face where he had just been punched.

"nonsense."

Ying Yinman glared at him angrily, even her crystal earlobes were turning red.

She bit her lip and said, "I won't tell you more, this is for you."

Ying Yinman bowed her head, untied something from her body and handed it to Zhao Tuo.

The girl lowered her head, not daring to meet the man in front of her eyes at this moment.

Zhao Tuo was startled, and reached out to take it, and saw that it was a matching curtain embroidered with a black bird pattern.

It is the sachet worn by women in this era.

Zhao Tuo understood, and he stretched out his hand to untie a jade pendant from his waist.

"Peach blossoms, scorching its flowers. The son returns home, suitable for his family..."

Ying Yinman let out a "huh", reached out to take the jade pendant, blushed and ran away.

Zhao Tuo stood where he was, looked at the girl's figure, raised the curtain and sniffed it.

It's peppery.

"When the grain passes away, the more you move forward with the zōng. Treat you like a qiáo, and let me hold the pepper."

This is a verse in "Poetry" that describes a tryst between a man and a woman. The man praises the woman as beautiful as a flower, and the woman presents the man with peppercorns as a token of love.

Why give pepper?

Because "Poetry" also says: "The fruit of Polygonum pepper multiplies and prospers."

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is full of seeds, which was regarded as a symbol of many children and many blessings in the pre-Qin period. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, the harem would smear the palace room with pepper and mud, and it was called "pepper room", which meant it.

In the pre-Qin period, when a man and a woman met for a tryst, the woman gave the man pepper, which was translated in the words of later generations, which was similar to the meaning of "to give birth to a child for you".

The affection is self-evident.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo immediately untied the adornment and presented it as a gift and token in return.

Watching the figure of the girl disappear into the distance.

Zhao Tuo sighed quietly.

When the princess fell in love with him, it was true love, a young girl's affection, pure and beautiful.

But what about Zhao Tuo?

The princess is beautiful, smart and cute, so he naturally likes it and is a good choice for his spouse.

A man is passionate, but he, Zhao Tuo, is not a stone, a plant, and An Neng is not tempted, and does not give birth to feelings.

In addition, the reason why Zhao Tuo teased the princess may not have other purposes.

He still remembered a sentence he heard from a certain ancient Greek sage in his previous life.

"There is no need to elaborate on the principles of nature and human relationships. Marriage is profitable."

Most of the successful marriages throughout the ages are marriages that complement each other.

For a down-and-out potential stock, getting help from a rich girl is the best shortcut to success.

Liu Bang, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu in this era, and Sima Xiangru, Gao Huan, Zhu Yuanzhang, and others in later generations cannot succeed without the help of women.

As the saying goes, behind a successful man, there is often a woman who helps him succeed.

But Zhao Tuo wanted to add something.

Behind the successful women, there are often old men who know people with insight.

Was Zhao Tuo only interested in the princess?

And maybe the man behind the princess.

The son-in-law of the emperor in the Qin Dynasty is different from the son-in-law in some later dynasties who had his future imprisoned and was subject to various constraints.

The son-in-law of the king of Qin can be a minister in the court, a county guard when he is outside, and he can lead troops to fight in wartime.

Because Princess Shang is a family with the king, she will naturally receive more trust than other courtiers.

Life is so difficult, success is not easy, with the help of a woman, the future is close at hand, why not do it?

Doing it happily is a blessed person!

Just when Zhao Tuo was feeling emotional.

Not far away there was the tinkling sound of ring pendants, Zhao Tuo turned his head and saw the person coming, his eyelids twitched.

Zhao Gao!

The magistrate of CRRC, who was deeply trusted by Qin Wangzheng, was looking at Zhao Tuo with a smile on his face.

"My brother's good luck is so good that an elder brother is really envious."

Zhao Tuo tied the adornment curtain given by the princess around his waist, bowed his hands to Zhao Gao and said, "My brother is laughing."

Zhao Gao came over and whispered: "Your Majesty asked me to call my younger brother to have an audience. I think the matter of the princess will be mentioned. My younger brother can make preparations."

When he saw Zhao Gao coming, Zhao Tuo had some vague guesses. Now that he heard that Qin Wangzheng summoned him, maybe the princess was involved, his heart suddenly jumped.

At other times, Zhao Tuo was not nervous, but didn't he just make love with the other party's daughter?

Just after the tryst, he was suddenly called by the woman's old father to meet him, who would have been terrified.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's expression, Zhao Gao laughed: "My brother, don't worry, I see what the king means. It's a good thing to ask my brother to go this time."

As he spoke, Zhao Gao "accidentally" mentioned a person.

"By the way, you don't have to worry about Li Hu's general. In the previous battle against Chu, Li Hu was defeated in Rushui. I don't know who the king said, 'As the saying goes in the army, Li You is odd'. I see the color of the king, yes This is quite embarrassing."

Li Youshuqi?

Zhao Tuo was stunned. If the king knew this, wouldn't that be a "death sentence" for his future?

Then he came to his senses, looking at Zhao Gao's appearance, Zhao Tuo probably guessed the identity of that "who".

Although he felt that it didn't matter, it was the other party's good intentions after all.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness. I dare not forget my brother's kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Hehe, what did my brother say. You saved me from Meng Yi in the past. Compared with this life-saving grace, what are some insignificant things?"

Zhao Gao chuckled, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

If you do a "good thing" and don't tell the other party, how can the other party know your dedication and good intentions?

He, Zhao Gao, never wanted to be an unknown good man.

Looking at it now, Zhao Tuo is really smart, and he is a person who knows how to repay kindness. Now that he is kind to him, he may be rewarded handsomely in the future.

The two smiled and walked forward.

After a while, Zhao Tuo followed Zhao Gao to a high platform in the palace.

The towers are tall and majestic.

On the railing at the edge of the high platform, there was a tall man standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene of Xianyang in the distance.

"My lord, Zhao Tuo has arrived."

Zhao Gao stepped forward to salute and return his life.

Zhao Tuo also hurried forward to pay respects.

"Sir Zhao Tuo, pay homage to the King."

Qin Wangzheng turned around and took a look at Zhao Gao. The close minister immediately understood and bowed his hands to leave.

For a moment, Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Tuo were alone on the balcony.

Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on Zhao Tuo's waist, the drapery embroidered with black bird patterns.

It was eerily quiet.

Zhao Tuo was extremely embarrassed, bit the bullet, and broke the silence and said: "I don't know what orders the king has summoned the ministers, but the ministers will do their best to serve them."

Qin Wangzheng withdrew his gaze, and said indifferently: "Dai Guo has sent envoys into the customs, and wants to meet the widow."

Zhao Tuo's eyelids twitched, thinking of Wang Jian's warning to him, he immediately realized that Qin Wangzheng's words had other meanings, maybe he was testing himself again.

This is a badass.

Zhao Tuo immediately said: "Dai Nai is a small country. Now that I heard that Qin State destroyed Chu, I want to worry day and night. This time I sent envoys to ask the king to submit to him, so as to avoid swords. However, the generation did not know that the king unified the world. The ambition has been made, and An Neng let him go because he begged for forgiveness, which is just a useless move."

Qin Wangzheng gave a "hmm", and looked at the young man in front of him who was trying his best to avoid being associated with Dai Guo, with a smile in his eyes.

He changed the subject and said suddenly: "The widow's daughter has passed her age, and it's time for her to marry. The widow has also seen your Zhao Tuo's performance in the past few years. I intend to let you become the princess. What do you want?"

Happiness came so suddenly.

Facing Qin Wangzheng's inquiry, Zhao Tuo didn't need to hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Your Majesty loves it, and I am very willing."

The corners of Qin Wangzheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said again: "Since that's the case, when do you think it's better for you to be Princess Shang?"

The king is so easy to talk, not only asked me if I would like to, but also asked me to pick the time?

If it is said now, can it be done immediately?

After Zhao Tuo was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly woke up.

Wang Jian's words still echoed in his ears.

The king first mentioned the matter of envoys entering Qin, and then immediately asked himself which fashion princess he wanted to choose. This might not be a new test.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I treat you with sincerity, why do you have so many routines.

After Zhao Tuo thought about it for a while, it was already on his mind.

He held his head high and spoke with an impassioned voice.

"The six kingdoms are not destroyed, so what is the family!"

There will be a third update later.
