Mrs. Huayang's younger brother, Yang Quanjun, is not very old. He is just the age to like beautiful clothes, good music, and horses. He is sitting on the banquet, playing with the exquisite sword in his hand. The scabbard of the sword is cyan. , inlaid with evil gold and tattooed with clouds and dragons, it is particularly luxurious, and when he pulled out the sword, the sword body shone with cold light and was extremely sharp. Mr. Yang Quan stretched out his hand to flick the sword body, and waved it again, unable to conceal his eyes. of love, grinning.
He looked at Lu Buwei in front of him, put away his sword, and said with a smile: "You gave me such an expensive gift when we first met. I really don't dare to accept it." He put the sword in embarrassment. Putting it aside, Lu Buwei already understood what he was thinking. It wasn't that he didn't like the sword, but he didn't dare to accept it. Qin's laws were harsh, and he didn't dare to accept gifts from himself to do things for himself. Taking bribes was a serious crime in Qin.
Lu Buwei looked solemn and said: "This sword is a burial object I sent for you. You are not far away from death. You can accept it to decorate your own tomb." When Yangquan Jun heard this, his expression changed greatly and he pointed at Lu Buwei. , said angrily: "Do you know who my sister is? How dare you curse me like this?" Lu Buwei was not afraid and said calmly: "It is because of your sister that your situation is very dangerous, life and death. Just in the blink of an eye."
Yangquan Jun was so angry that he could not speak. Lu Buwei continued: "The king is old, An Guojun is the prince, but your sister, Mrs. Huayang, has no heirs. Zi Xi, who is most qualified to inherit the position of An Guojun, has always been I am very jealous of you, because all the guests under your sect are high-ranking, and there are countless treasures, horses, and beauties in your house. My son lived a very poor life, so the relationship with you is very bad."
"If An Guojun is the king and Zi Xi is the prince, can you still maintain your current wealth? Can you still save your own life?" Lu Buwei asked loudly.
Yangquan Jun looked at him blankly and was silent for a long time. Finally, a trace of fear appeared on his face, as if he had realized something. Then Lu Buwei smiled and said: "I have a way to keep you as wealthy as you are now, and There are no worries anymore." Mr. Yangquan stood up quickly, asked Lu Buwei to sit next to him, saluted him, and said respectfully:
"Please forgive me for my rudeness just now, and please teach me how to behave."
Lu Buwei then put away his arrogance and said humbly: "You don't have to be like this. Think about it, Zixi has never been friendly with you or Mrs. Huayang. As the successor of An Guojun, to Mrs. Huayang It is also disadvantageous. By the time he becomes the crown prince, Mrs. Huayang's courtyard will be overgrown with weeds. And now, the young master who is a hostage in the Zhao Kingdom has both talents and virtues, but he does not have a mother to protect him in the palace."
"Every time I look westward at my homeland, I really want to return to Qin. Mrs. Huayang can accept the young master Yiren as her son and make him a prince. In this way, a foreigner who is not a prince can inherit the throne. He Kenduo will be grateful for Mrs. Huayang's kindness, and Mrs. Huayang, who has no son, will have future support. These gifts are exactly what Young Master Yiren asked me to send to you. This is what he means to you. Of respect, what do you think?"
Yang Quanjun laughed, nodded, and said happily: "Yes, what you said makes sense!" He suddenly looked at Lu Buwei again and said: "Please wait for a moment! I will be back soon!" After that, he looked at Lu Buwei again.
, he ignored the confused Lu Buwei and left the inner room directly. Lu Buwei shook his head, although this guy is ten times richer than the young master, his character is a hundred times worse than his.
So Lu Buwei had no choice but to wait here. After waiting for more than two hours, he had already scolded Mr. Yangquan for generations in his heart. Mr. Yangquan had just arrived late. He did not come alone. He also brought
He met a woman. Lu Buwei thought he had invited Mrs. Huayang, and was so frightened that he hurriedly got up to pay her respects. After being introduced by Mr. Yangquan, he learned that this was Mrs. Huayang's sister.
Yang Quanjun said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Huayang loves me, she always treats me as a child and is unwilling to listen to my words. I told my eldest sister what my husband said, and she also agreed. Her words, Hua Yang
Mrs. Yang will definitely listen. Please follow us to see Mrs. Huayang." Before Lu Buwei could say anything more, he was dragged into the carriage by Mr. Yang Quan, and the group rushed to the palace.
The warriors in the palace also knew these two people. Lu Buwei was regarded as their guest, and they just took away his sword and let him go. Lu Buwei secretly looked around, but the Qin Palace was much worse than the Zhao Palace.
It was not as luxurious as the Zhao Palace. After looking at it for a moment, he stopped looking and followed the two of them to Mrs. Huayang's residence. Mr. Yangquan barged in carelessly.
"Shou, I was thinking of you, so you came!" Mrs. Huayang smiled, took Mr. Yangquan's hand, and said gently. Mrs. Huayang is a standard lady from Chu country, and she is not very delicate in appearance.
, she was gentle and virtuous, and Lord An Guo doted on her very much. It could be seen that she also doted on her younger brother very much. She held his hand and asked questions, which made Lord Yang Quan a little embarrassed.
They chatted for a long time, and Lord Yangquan pointed at Lu Buwei and said, "This is my friend. His name is Lu Buwei. Young Master Yiren sent him to give you a birthday gift. He came to me and I brought him in."
." Mrs. Huayang nodded towards Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei hurriedly leaned down to pay homage to him, and then took out the gift. This gift was none other than some exquisite Chu country clothes.
Mrs. Huayang picked up the clothes, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She missed her homeland very much, touched the clothes, and then she said: "Young Master Yiren can still remember my birthday. I am very happy." Lu Buwei
Then he said with a smile: "Young Master Yiren is smart and virtuous, and all the princes and nobles he has made friends with, such as Zhao Wangdan, Pingyuanjun, Xinlingjun, Wei Wang, Zhao Kuo and others, all regard him as their friend, and his
Guests are all over the world."
"It's just that he is very unhappy. He misses Mr. An Guo very much and misses you. He said that he regards you as his biological mother and there is not a day that goes by that he doesn't miss you. He often wears the clothes of Chu State. When others ask,
He then said, "I am the son of a Chu man, so what's wrong with wearing Chu clothes?"
"Zi Chu..." Mrs. Huayang murmured, and said with some pity: "It's a pity that this child can't stay with his parents." Lu Buwei said no more, put down the things, and left.
Mrs. Huayang sent someone to send him away, and Mrs. Huayang's sister said to her: "I heard that those who serve others with their beauty will be less favored once they grow old and lose their beauty. Now Mrs.
You serve the prince and are very favored, but it is a pity that you do not have a son of your own."
"If you don't take the opportunity now to make acquaintance with a talented and filial person among the prince's sons, make him your heir, and treat him like your own son, then your husband will be respected while he is alive, and after his death, you will be the one who established him.
If the son is the king, he will not lose power in the end. If we don’t lay the foundation when we are beautiful, if we wait until our appearance fades and our favor is lost, even if we want to have a word with the prince, is it still possible?"
"Now that there is a virtuous man, and he knows that he is in the middle, he cannot be appointed as the heir according to the order, and his biological mother is not favored, so he will take the initiative to attach himself to the madam. If the madam can really promote him at this time,
Heir, then Madam, you will be respected and favored in the Qin Kingdom all your life!"
Mrs. Huayang stroked the Chu clothes and suddenly laughed, "I know, please help me put on this Chu clothes. I want to see if I am still as beautiful as before."
Lu Buwei sat anxiously in Mr. Yangquan's mansion. Now is the most critical time. As long as Mrs. Huayang can say a few nice words to the prince, and according to the extent of the prince's love for Mrs. Huayang, things will definitely be better.
It can be done. While he was thinking about it, Mr. Yang Quan hurried into the mansion, looked at Lu Buwei in front of him, laughed, and said, "It's done! Mrs. Huayang agreed!"
Only then did Lu Buwei have a huge stone in his heart. He showed a knowing smile and hurriedly thanked Mr. Yangquan.
After bidding farewell to Lord Yangquan in a hurry, Lu Buwei rejected Lord Yangquan's hospitality. He was eager to go back to discuss the next thing with the stranger. As soon as he walked out of Lord Yangquan's mansion and came to the city gate, two soldiers stopped him.
Lu Buwei was shocked when he saw him, but the two soldiers sneered and said: "People cannot stand in the world without faith. How come you don't know this truth?"
Lu Buwei looked horrified, and then he remembered the agreement with Fan Ju, and hurriedly turned around and walked back, but the soldiers did not stop him again.
When he arrived at Fan Ju's mansion, Fan Ju still greeted him with a smile and a very gentle attitude. However, Lu Buwei did not dare to take it lightly this time. He sat in front of Fan Ju very respectfully and asked, "I don't know if I can
What can I do for you?"
"I would like to ask you to go to the State of Yan and meet with the Prime Minister of the State of Yan, Li Fu. I would like to make an agreement with him to conquer the State of Zhao with him. I am willing to send arms and money to the State of Yan, and we will become a country of alliance, and we will always be friends.
After defeating the State of Zhao, I am willing to distribute Dai County and Yunzhong County to the State of Yan." Lu Buwei was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Then how should I convince Li Fu?"
Fan Ju laughed, shook his head and said, "This is your business. If you fail to help me, what you are busy with now will definitely fail."
Lu Buwei sighed, then stood up and said, "I understand."
