Chapter 519: Capturing this woman is equivalent to capturing Bashu. Your Majesty, think twice.
Amidst the banter and teasing of the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, Ba Qing became even more embarrassed.
The color of the earlobes spread rapidly, and the pretty face was immediately filled with blush, as if it was stained by the sunset.
She lowered her head, shy and timid, not even daring to look at the second emperor.
It seems that he is afraid that he will forget about Sichuan for ten thousand years and lose the motivation to return to Bashu.
The lotus steps are fast and swift, jumping like a frightened deer.
Finally, he jumped back on the simple-looking carriage, quickly urged the driver to drive, and flew away as if he was running away.
It also relies on the cement road that appeared more than 2,000 years in advance to be hard and flat.
The old loess road, two tracks formed by rolling over hundreds of years, couldn't help the cars running so fast, so they had to be broken apart.
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
Zhou Qingchen praised him highly and, relying on his divine favor, walked up to the second emperor with the disdainful eyes of all the officials, covered his mouth and spoke in a low voice.
"Treacherous minister!"
"Flattery!"
"Spineless!"
The other officials were whispering, their disdain was palpable, and they didn't even bother to cover it up.
Among the many generations of prime ministers in the Qin Empire, Zhou Qingchen was the only one who was ostracized and disrespected by all Qin officials.
Even Li Si, who went against the interests of the ministers and wanted to entrust the feudal government to counties and counties, was not so unbearable. There was always a group of die-hard Legalist disciples behind him.
Feng Quji, who is also the prime minister and is standing on the right and is a senior figure, always teases in private:
"As prime minister, he does not form factions or seek selfish interests. Qingchen can be regarded as a pioneer in the Qin Dynasty."
There is some irony in this sentence, but it is more of a joke between the two of them.
Whenever the Qin Dynasty separated the left and right prime ministers, the relationship between the left and right prime ministers has never been so good.
The Prime Minister on the right, Feng Quji, knew very well that without the one on the left who licked too obviously and went too far to block the gun, he would have been the most likely to be ostracized by the ministers.
Zhou Qingchen is a Diao, and Feng Quji is Yi Ya.
If Zhou Qingchen hadn't been carrying the burden forward, how could Feng Quji's peaceful years be as peaceful as they were?
Do you really think that during the reign of the late king, he had been directly admonishing loyal ministers for a period of time, and all the subordinates he had accumulated were loyal? Feng Quji was not so trustworthy.
He is just a wallflower, so all he attracts are rootless duckweeds floating in the wind. How can a tree with roots a hundred feet deep in the ground look down on him?
Everyone can look down on Zhou Qingchen, except Feng Quji.
There must be one person in a group who is the least liked, just like there is always a bad student in the class, or there is always the most annoying colleague in the company.
Zhou Qingchen was not angry at all. Every time he heard similar ridicule, he would always respond with "Cows and sheep only team up, tigers and leopards always walk alone."
This was the evaluation made by the second emperor himself, and Zhou Qingchen always kept it in mind and regarded it as his motto.
"Your Majesty, will I lead the troops to capture this girl and bring her back?"
Prime Minister Zuo smiled evilly and acted in a flattering manner. Only he and the Second Emperor could hear his voice.
"Do you want to have a concubine for me?"
The second emperor asked with a smile.
"I don't dare!"
Zhou Qingchen did not dare to neglect, and immediately clarified in panic, and then said with a lustful look on his face:
"Taking down this girl is equivalent to taking down Bashu. Your Majesty, think twice."
No matter how clever and clever the officials were, they could never guess that the words spoken by the traitorous official with a dirty look on his face could be so serious.
The second emperor smiled and shook his head, denying the advice, patted Prime Minister Zuo on the shoulder, and returned to the palace.
Zhou Qingchen looked as if he was flattered by His Majesty's shoulder pat, and his body became a little shorter.
When he received yet another look of contempt from the officials, he resisted the urge to follow him and persuade him.
People say that Zhou Qingchen is a traitor, but what is a traitor? Is he flattery?
So because Duke Huan of Qi liked beauties, was Guan Zhong a treacherous minister who created the Loutai brothel for Duke Huan of Qi to visit?
Living in Xianyang is not easy.
It is very difficult to sit in the court.
Many times, Zhou Qingchen would have the urge to resign, and he felt that he could no longer control his second career in the imperial court.
Your Majesty's methods today are far superior to those of the previous kings. He took away the power of the ministers without any notice, and assigned ministers with different personalities to high positions to divide the power. However, he was not hated by the ministers.
During the reign of the late king, although his official position was not high, he was relaxed and at ease, and he only needed to flatter himself.
But now, he is the prime minister, but he doesn't get the respect he deserves. What's the point of being an official? And it's not enough to brag without thinking.
Although the second emperor didn't say it, he was never stupid, but Zhou Qingchen, who liked to take shortcuts, had already felt it.
He did not have Shang Yang's power, but he had Shang Yang's destiny.
He was the bargaining chip used by the second emperor to show his good will to the ministers. When the trouble between the emperor and his ministers reached a point where they could not give in to each other, once he died, the emperor and his ministers would be in harmony.
Just like after King Huiwen of Qin's chariot broke up Shang Yang's chariot, once the officials' resentment came out, they cooperated with each other.
This winter has not yet passed, and the second emperor's control over the Qin Empire is as good as that of the previous king. The only difference between the two is the prestige of unifying the world.
Since the beginning of the Qin State, there has never been a king who could take control of the Qin State so quickly. This is how Zhou Qingchen, who likes to study, does not work hard to show his existential value, and wants to resign but dare not.
The north wind howls.
Your Majesty left first, and the officials dispersed after him.
As the Bashu convoy drove away, no one paid attention to it after delivering food and grass.
Except for the Yue girl, because the Yue girl was in the lead car of the Bashu motorcade.
"The Qing Dynasty has always thought that the Baiyue Goddess is just a legend. I didn't expect to be able to meet the goddess in real life. I am so lucky. If the goddess has nothing to do, how about accompanying the Qing Dynasty to Bashu."
Ba Qing invited with a smile. The woman's bun was in a bun, and her fair face was like jade.
Yue Nu said calmly:
"Thank you for your kindness. I am the doctor."
The duty of Lang Zhongling is to defend Xianyang Palace and protect the safety of the second emperor. This is the most important thing.
She was a little unhappy with Ba Qing, and she still remembered that she had to leave the palace first because she wanted to create conditions for Ba Qing, His Majesty.
"I have heard that conflicts in Baiyue have been constant recently. Ouluo founded the country with Guluo as its capital, and he has the appearance of unifying Baiyue. I don't know whether it is true or not."
Ba Qing seemed to be completely unable to detect Yue Nu's alienation, and still smiled sweetly.
The Yue girl's words still lack emotion and have no ups and downs.
"I have been away from Baiyue for several years. I don't know. If you have nothing else to do, just stop here. I want to go back to Xianyang."
The speed of the car was too fast, and the girl didn't want to run too far.
Ba Qing looked as usual, with a hint of apology on his face.
"You must have been reckless. Thank you, Lang Zhongling, for sending me all the way."
The fragrant breeze floated outside, and Ba Qing was the only one left in the carriage. She laughed to herself.
"Luo Tianshui, Luo Tianshui, look at me, how free and easy I am. You are the only one who still cares about your name."
Luo Tianshui is Ba Qing's original name.
Since becoming the second generation of Ba Widow Qing, she has lost her name.
Just like being a Yue girl, becoming a Baiyue goddess means she has no name.
"I lost my name and became Bashu, and you lost my name and became Baiyue. I thought you and I were the same kind of people. But looking at you, not only have you forgotten your name, but you have also forgotten Baiyue..."
