The queen was very excited. She knew very well what the current situation of Qi's court was, but she was powerless.
She is already old and can no longer accompany Qi Wangjian, so she desperately wants to change, but she can't find a suitable talent.
Although Xunzi is famous all over the world, it is based on scholarship, not politics.
Therefore, how could she not be excited when she saw that the person recommended by Xunzi was Jin Yao? This was a great talent recognized by the world. He was a great talent who stepped forward from the corpse of Yan State and the unified army that was defeated.
Jin Yao was a little flattered when he saw the Queen and the Queen supporting each other excitedly.
The queen didn't care too much. She was old enough to be Jin Yao's grandmother. She took Jin Yao's hand and sat on the banquet. The more she looked at Jin Yao, the more she liked him.
The dark-skinned young man back then, after years of changes, turned out to be so good-looking, with a Chinese character face, seventeen or eighteen years old, a majestic appearance, light robes and slow belts, without the restraint of Confucianism, but quite Mohist.
of chicness.
She was even more moved when she heard Jin Yao call herself and Xunzi the Empress Taishi instead of calling her the Queen like the others.
The biggest regret in her life was that she could not see her father until his death. Even until his death, his father did not forgive her for running away with King Tian Fazhang of Qi Xiang. He thought that she had insulted the Taishi family tradition and expelled her from Taishi. She was not allowed to return to Ju for life.
city.
Because of this, no one in the entire Confucian family and the world called her by her birth name, Taishi!
When the queen was sizing up Jin Yao, Jin Yao was also sizing up the queen. Although she was old, she could still tell that she was once a very beautiful woman.
Compared with her appearance, the most praiseworthy thing about the queen is her intelligence. During the reign of King Qi Xiang, King Qin Zhao once ordered people to send the Lu Ban Suo of the public loser - the jade chain. He said that the people of Qi were very wise and asked the Qi State.
Who among all the ministers and disciples can understand it?
No one in the entire Qi court could solve the problem, but the queen suddenly cut off the jade chain with an awl. This was the incident of solving the chain.
Because of this incident, both King Zhao of Qin and Fan Ju believed that Qi could not provoke the king and queen, so they signed an alliance with Qi.
From then on, Qi State served Qin Jin and won the princes with trust, ensuring Qi State's tranquility for decades.
This must be said to be a miracle in the Warring States period when a small war occurred every three years and a major war occurred every five years.
"Zhao Dan doesn't want his adopted son, but this old woman wants it. I wonder if your husband would like it?" Queen Jun asked kindly, holding Jin Yao's hand with satisfaction.
"Ah?" Jin Yao was dumbfounded, why would anyone want to accept him as his adopted son?
"Sir, do you think the old woman is inferior to Zhao Dan? Or do you think Qi State is inferior to Zhao State?" The queen did not give Jin Yao a chance to hesitate and continued to press the question.
Jin Yao was even more stunned. No matter how he answered, it was all wrong. Comparing Zhao *** with the Queen, and comparing Zhao State with Qi State, it is really difficult to determine the winner.
"Well, Zhao Qian is pretty!" Jin Yao couldn't answer the queen's question, so he could only politely refuse.
"Zhao Qian? Princess Zhao?" The queen pretended not to understand Jin Yao's polite refusal, and then continued, "Xunqing thinks the old woman's adopted son is worthy of Princess Zhao?"
Xunzi was also stunned by the Queen's words, but he nodded. This is the Queen's nature, strong and courageous, so he decided to lend a hand and said, "The fake young master of Qi is naturally worthy of Princess Zhao."
!」
"Okay, then please ask Xun Qing to ask Zhao Dan for the old woman's adopted son to marry the princess of Zhao, Zhao Qian!" Although the queen is a woman, she said domineeringly.
"Ah?" Jin Yao was completely relieved. Don't you understand that I'm declining?
"Why, isn't that enough? Or do you have other women you like? Tell them, and grandma will make the decision for you. Marry them all!" the queen continued.
"Thank you, Empress Taishi, for your support. I haven't thought about it yet!" Jin Yao could only point it out directly, otherwise he could be sold by the empress and Xunzi's harmony.
The queen was also a little disappointed. She originally thought that the young man was thin-skinned and didn't know how to refuse, so she could use this to solidify the matter, but unfortunately she was still rejected.
But this does not hinder
Jin Yao's favorable impression of Qi Guo increased, especially his favorable impression of the king and queen.
Jin Yao thought the same way. If he didn't hate Qi State in his heart, he might have been moved by the Queen. Who could refuse such a domineering and protective grandmother?
But when I woke up, I realized how terrifying the queen was. No wonder she was able to rule Qi as a woman for more than thirty years, but the princes did not dare to attack Qi.
"If this kid brings disaster to Qi, will the Empress Taishi still be willing to do so?" Jin Yao suddenly asked.
"Destroy Qi?" The queen sneered, "As long as the old woman is still here, who dares to destroy Qi? Is it Wei Xi who only hides behind and plans everything, or the mediocre Han Wang An, or is he brave and reckless?
Mi Wan who hasn’t figured out her family affairs yet, Zhao Dan who is a good chess player, Ji Dan who kills his father and king, or Ying Zheng who is still in his infancy?”
Jin Yao was stunned, watching the Queen's comments on the kings of various countries by their names, but he had to admit that the Queen's comments on these kings were extremely accurate.
"What if Yan, Wei, Han, and Chu join forces to attack Qi?" Jin Yao asked tentatively.
The queen's eyes became slightly solemn. There may be no reason for the groundless rumors. Why did the Mo family appear in Songhai and why did Jin Yao say this? It means that it is really possible for these four families to join forces to attack Qi.
"The State of Qi is not at the mercy of others. If the four countries really join forces to attack Qi, the old woman will take charge personally and fight to destroy the State of Qi. She will also take away both families!" The queen looked at Jin Yao and said domineeringly.
Jin looked at the queen from a distance. With the queen's prestige in Qi, it seemed not impossible to directly raise an army of no less than 300,000 people if he personally took command. And with such a large army, Qi really wanted to replace Yan.
It seems that the two families of Wei, Han, and Chu are not unable to do it.
Especially when Qi and Qin are allies, and the four countries attack Qi, and Qi counterattacks on the verge of death and makes Qin's wedding dress, no one in the four countries will have an easy time.
Jin Yao looked at Xunzi. They were still worried about Qi, but looking at the attitude of the king and queen, it seemed that their concerns were superfluous. If the four countries dared to touch Qi, the four countries would definitely be beaten to a pulp by Qi. Then
Send it to Qin.
"So, you won't lose anything by being the adopted son of this old woman!" The Queen suddenly restrained her domineering attitude and looked at Jin Yao lovingly and continued, "You don't have to worry that this old woman will be like that Zhao Dan who doesn't know people well.
The adopted son of an old woman, who dares to say a word, the old woman can help him find the nine lost tribes!"
"Hold the grass~" Jin Yao was even more shocked. This old lady is really a protector. If she dares to criticize her relatives, she will destroy all the nine tribes. But it's so tempting, isn't it?
