Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 415

To be honest, Zhao Zhu felt a little bit guilty now.

My own father, but he has lived to be more than 60 years old, and there is no funeral.

We must know that in terms of life expectancy in the Warring States Period, these 60s are equivalent to the 90s and [-]s of later generations.

Now Zhao Zhu is not young anymore, and his age is also approaching 50 years old. If he also followed in the footsteps of his elder brother and died before Qin Wangji died, wouldn't it be a tragedy.

Besides, even if Qin Wangji died in two years, Zhao Zhu would be about 50 years old at that time, how many years can this king be?

With all these factors added up, Zhao Zhu was really in a hurry.

Mrs. Huayang looked at Zhao Zhu's anxious look, and didn't know what to say for a while.

What should be said is that Mrs. Huayang has already told Zhao Zhu about it, and she also believes that Zhao Zhu understands the pros and cons.

But even so, Zhao Zhu still seemed so eager, so it could only show one thing that Zhao Zhu's patience was reaching its limit.

But the problem is that Mrs. Huayang knows very well that no matter how anxious Zhao Zhu is, he has to wait. Only by continuing to wait can there be hope.

What should I do?

How can I make my husband calm down and continue to wait patiently?

While Mrs. Huayang was contemplating, Zhao Zhu suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently.

Mrs. Huayang was slightly startled, and hurriedly patted Zhao Zhu's back, trying to make Zhao Zhu feel better.

Zhao Zhu coughed very violently this time, and it took a long time for him to calm down slowly.

But even so, the expression on Zhao Zhu's face was still not very good, he looked a bit sick.

Madam Huayang looked at Zhao Zhu, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you all right, do you want to call the palace doctor?"

"No need." Zhao Zhu waved his hand, and said disapprovingly, "I may have suffered from some cold recently, and it will be fine if I take some medicine. It's not a problem."

After a pause, Zhao Zhu suddenly sighed, and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Yangquan is not here, otherwise, I can ask him to help me with the details and see if he has any ideas."

At today's court meeting, Mr. Yangquan had been sent to Bashu by Qin Wangji to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. I am afraid that he will not be able to return to Xianyang before the end of this war.

Mrs. Huayang's exquisite face turned her wonderful eyes, and after a while, she suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I once heard Mr. Yangquan mention that the guest Qing Lu Buwei is quite talented, and he has offered several strategies. He is very helpful to Mr. Yangquan Help. Besides, he is a minister of Zi Chu, how about calling him to meet him?"

"Lu Buwei?"

Zhao Zhu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "That's all, since no one around can help me, then go and call Lu Buwei to come and see me!"

Lu Buwei was quickly summoned.

"Chen Lu Buwei has met your lord, Mrs. Jun!"

Zhao Zhu waved his hand and forced a smile to Lu Buwei: "Doctor, please sit down."

Lu Buwei hurriedly sat down obediently.

Zhao Zhu glanced at Lu Buwei and said, "I have a worry, I wonder if the doctor can solve it?"

Chapter 4 Eleven, Your Majesty, why not... (Second update)

After hearing Zhao Zhu's words, Lu Buwei felt a little strange, and couldn't help but look up at Zhao Zhu.

Then Lu Buwei discovered one thing, that is, the way Zhao Zhu looked at him was also quite strange, with suspicion and anticipation at the same time.

After discovering the suspicious look in Zhao Zhu's eyes, Lu Buwei's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be that the fact that I was a spy for King Zhao was discovered?"

But immediately Lu Buwei came back to his senses. Now in this land of China, people who know that Lu Buwei is actually a spy of Zhao country can be counted on the palm of their hands, and none of these insiders have Report on Lu Buwei's motives.

So it should be something else!

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei's heart immediately calmed down, and he began to think from the perspective of a doctor from the state of Qin.

Thinking about it this way, and then referring to what Zhao Zhu said just now, Lu Buwei immediately came to his senses.

In fact, Zhao Zhu didn't doubt Lu Buwei, but was testing Lu Buwei's ability.

After all, Zhao Zhu is the prince of Qin, while Lu Buwei is just a mere merchant.

In the eyes of Zhao Zhu and even the entire Qin ruling class, people like merchants are even more humble than farmers and craftsmen.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants are the last, this is no joke.

So it's not just Zhao Zhu, the entire Qin ruling class has a heartfelt sense of discrimination against Lu Buwei.

If it wasn't for Zhao Zichu, who was kind enough to repay Lu Buwei in front of Mrs. Huayang and Zhao Zhu, Lu Buwei wouldn't even be able to get along with the current guest minister.

It is precisely because of this kind of discrimination that although Lu Buwei has become familiar with Zhao Zhu in the past two or three years in Xianyang, he has never really gained Zhao Zhu's trust.

Until today, Zhao Zhu, who was really unthinkable, finally decided to give Lu Buwei a chance.

If Lu Buwei could not guess what Zhao Zhu was worried about based on the clues given by Zhao Zhu, then Lu Buwei would not be accepted by Zhao Zhu, what should he do, go to the side to cool off.

But on the other hand, if Lu Buwei can guess what Zhao Zhu is upset about, and can come up with a solution that satisfies Zhao Zhu, then Lu Buwei is likely to be appreciated by Zhao Zhu because of this, and truly become Zhao Zhu. trusted people.

Thinking of this, Lu Buwei's heart immediately started beating. .

Will Lu Buwei let go of this golden opportunity?

Of course not, only a fool would let go of such an opportunity.

Although countless thoughts flashed in my mind, in the eyes of Zhao Zhu and Mrs. Huayang who were opposite Lu Buwei, it was only a short moment.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the disappointment in Zhao Zhu's heart was constantly increasing. Just when Zhao Zhu was about to be unable to hold back and was about to let Lu Buwei go, Lu Buwei finally spoke.

"What your majesty is worried about should be the current battle in Guanzhong."

Zhao Zhu groaned, but did not answer.

This is actually easy to guess, as long as people who are neither deaf nor blind know that Zhao Guoren has already called.

What Zhao Zhu needed was something on a deeper level, and what he needed was a method that could solve this problem.

Lu Buwei stroked his beard, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "I have a plan, which can relieve the king's worries."

If Lu Buwei could look a little more chic, and his whole temperament could be a little more dusty, then this posture would give people a sense of immortality, and his words would be more convincing and more able to impress others.

It's a pity that Lu Buwei's appearance is indeed relatively average, so Zhao Zhu almost immediately ignored Lu Buwei's pretentious behavior, and asked directly: "Doctor, plan to make an appointment?"

Lu Buwei, who was halfway through the pretense but didn't get any cooperation at all, put away his hands in embarrassment, coughed and said: "With the status of the emperor, the one who worries about it is how to solve the current Guanzhong war. In my opinion, If you want to resolve this matter, the best option is to negotiate a peace!"

As soon as Lu Buwei said this, the whole room suddenly became silent.
