Chapter 179 The First Emperor's Cubs

Just when Cai Ze was forming an alliance with the Chu State, Zhao Kuo suddenly remembered an important event: Where is Qin Shihuang now?

In terms of time, Qin Shihuang is only a few months old at most.

When Qin Yiren returned to the country, Zhao Ji was already about to give birth. She could not withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling, so it was impossible for her to return to Qin with Qin Yiren.

Moreover, according to the city gate order, there were no women in the car when Qin Yiren returned home.

In other words, Qin Shihuang is still in Zhao State!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo immediately sent Liu Ping to find Zhao Ji.

In this battle of Shangdang, Qin failed to defeat Zhao, Zhao's 400,000 soldiers were not tricked and killed by Bai Qi, and the conflict between Qin and Zhao did not break out to an irreconcilable level, so Zhao Wangdan did not order the arrest of Zhao Ji and her son.

After Zhao Kuo became the King of Zhao, he had a lot of things to deal with every day. When he got busy, he forgot about it and didn't think about it until he was free now.

Nowadays, Liu Ping's intelligence organization is different. It not only covers the entire Zhao Kingdom, but also has strongholds in major cities in other countries. Any trouble in Handan City will be discovered.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have found Zhao Ji." Not long after, Liu Ping rushed back and said with his hands raised.

"Take me there." Zhao Kuo said.

Liu Ping was a little confused as to why Zhao Kuo was suddenly interested in this woman named Zhao Ji, but he didn't ask much and just led the way.

When Zhao Kuo saw Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji was washing clothes by the river with her child on her back.

Zhao Ji came from a wealthy family in the Zhao Kingdom. Unfortunately, her family fell into decline and she could only become a dancer. Otherwise, she would not have been a concubine to a businessman named Lu Buwei.

These days, the so-called concubines are actually high-end maids who can be given away at will.

Sure enough, she was later given to Qin Yiren by Lu Buwei.

When Qin Yiren is here, no matter what, he is still Qin's hostage. Even if Zhao doesn't like him anymore, it is impossible to starve him. Not to mention that Lu Buwei, a wealthy man, supports him from time to time. Zhao Ji's days

It's still very moisturizing.

Before Qin Yiren, a heartless man, left, Lu Buwei placed her in the home of a friend named Yi.

Yi took great care of her. Not only did she arrange for servants to take care of her, but she also hired a doctor to look after her every day.

However, as the news of Qin's defeat came, Yi's attitude towards her suddenly changed drastically. Not only did he withdraw all the doctors and servants, but he also often yelled at her and demanded that she must work in the house to support herself.

In desperation, Zhao Ji, who had just given birth, could only endure her physical discomfort and help everyone in the house wash clothes and serve tea and water.

During this period, Zhao Ji deeply realized what it meant to be under someone else's roof.

She expected Qin Yiren to send someone to take her back every day. However, she failed to wait for Qin Yiren's carriage, but she waited for the news that Zhao State had defeated the Five Kingdoms.

After the news came, Yi immediately kicked her out of the house.

Zhao Ji finally understood what it means for a businessman to pursue profit.

In the past, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak. Yi hoped to gain the favor of others through himself and establish a relationship with Qin.

Now that Qin Yiren has not taken her back, Yi thinks that Yiren has abandoned her.

After all, she is just a concubine. After Yiren returns to Qin, he can have countless concubines.

In addition, Zhao was strong and Qin was weak, so Yi Sheng was afraid of offending Zhao because of her, so he expelled her from the house.

In this era, Zhao Ji was a woman with no support and a child. Even the work-for-relief fund for building a college outside Handan City did not want her.

Forced into desperation, Zhao Ji had no choice but to seek refuge with a friend she had met when she was a dancer. With the help of her friends, she worked as a servant in a noble house, helping the nobles wash their clothes to make ends meet. Only then did she survive to this day.

When Zhao Ji saw a group of soldiers suddenly appear behind her, she quickly held the child in her arms, stood up in panic, stepped back into the water with one foot, and looked at Zhao Kuo and others in fear.

Her intuition told her that the identity of the group of people in front of her was beyond her imagination.

"I am Zhao Kuo." Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Jisheng is very beautiful. Even though she is dressed in coarse linen clothes and her palms are extremely rough from being soaked in cold water and beating sticks for a long time, she still cannot hide her peerless appearance. Under her timid expression, she has a pair of charming and charming eyes.

With his human heart and soul, it is no wonder that he is favored by Lu Buwei and Qin Yiren.

Although Zhao Ji had a promiscuous private life in history, it is undeniable that she was a good mother. Even in the most difficult and helpless times, she did not abandon Ying Zheng and raised him with all kinds of hardships. This led to the future of the First Emperor.

.

If Zhao Ji abandoned Ying Zheng from the beginning, it is very likely that the entire history of China would be rewritten.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, and after taking a few breaths, she remembered that Zhao Kuo was the current king of the Zhao Kingdom. She didn't care about the mud on the riverside, and quickly knelt down on the ground and said in a panic: "The common people... the common people's daughter pays homage to the king."

"Get up, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Zhao Kuo said softly.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that the mother of an emperor who has been an emperor for eternity still relies on starching and washing clothes for others to make a living.

Zhao Ji held the child in her arms, stood up slowly, and looked at the soldiers around her with fearful eyes. The bright armor plates were a bit dazzling.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and all the soldiers dispersed with a roar, retreating a hundred meters away, with their backs to Zhao Kuo.

"You come up first." Zhao Kuo said helplessly, is he so scary?

Zhao Ji walked up from the river.

"Is your man a foreigner from Qin?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Yes...yes." Zhao Ji's voice was trembling, for fear that Zhao Kuo would execute her because of Qin Yiren.

No matter how ill-informed she was, she still knew that Qin and Zhao had been on the same page in recent years.

"When he returned to Qin, he left you like this in Zhao?" Zhao Kuo cursed in his heart that Qin Yiren is really nothing. He stole his wife and abandoned his wife and son.

"It wasn't like that at first..." Zhao Ji seemed to see that Zhao Kuo had no ill intentions, and her nervousness gradually calmed down, and she recounted what happened during this period.

"Liu Ping." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"I'm here." Liu Ping bowed and said.

"Go and check whether this businessman named Yi has any contact with the Qin State." Zhao Kuo said.

"I obey the decree." Liu Ping immediately understood what Zhao Kuo meant and led some people to leave.

Zhao Ji opened her mouth to stop her, but suddenly thought of what Yi had done to her, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't think Zhao Kuo would listen to her.

"Can you show me your child?" Zhao Kuo said softly.

Zhao Ji hesitated for a moment and handed it over. If Zhao Kuo really wanted to kill their mother and son, there would be no need to go to such trouble.

Zhao Kuo looked at the First Emperor in his arms, who was still a cub a few months old. His face was wrinkled and not yet fully opened. He was a bit ugly. His eyes were closed, his left thumb was in his mouth, and drool was drooling from the corner of his mouth.

Apart from Zhao Kuo, probably no one else in the world would believe that this child would become the greatest emperor in Chinese history.

If he regarded the First Emperor as an enemy, Zhao Kuo seemed to have strangled him in the cradle, but Zhao Kuo could not bear to hold the First Emperor in his arms no matter what.

Not only because the current First Emperor was still a child, but also because of the admiration Zhao Kuo had for the First Emperor.

"Can you give me a name?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Ji.

"Not yet." Zhao Ji said.

"Let's call it Zheng." Zhao Kuo said.

"Ah?" Zhao Ji didn't hear clearly.

"Ying's surname is Zhao, Gong Zizheng." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.

ps: It is said that in ancient times people with the same surname did not marry, so Yiren and Zhao Ji can be considered to have the same surname, or even the same surname and surname.
