Chapter 70: The Death of Prince Pingyuan (2)
Back then, Guan Zhong opened a 700-year-old girl's nest, and all countries began to follow suit. The largest 3-side girl's nest in Handan City of Zhao State was Wanhualou.
The so-called Nulu is the brothel of later generations.
On this day, Zhao Deyi drank a lot of wine alone in the teahouse as usual!
After thirty years of drinking, he was already slightly drunk. He paid for the wine, stood up and stood at the door for a while, and finally walked towards the Wanhualou.
Along the way, his face became paler and paler.
I think that as the prime minister's legitimate son, his mother is also the sister of Xinlingjun, and his uncle is Xinlingjun of Wei State.
It can be said that he is a wealthy family, and he will definitely inherit Zhao Sheng's title in the future.
But for some reason, Zhao Sheng believed that Wei State is not enough to help Zhao State now, and the power of foreign relatives who can help Zhao State is the Mohist school.
And intentionally began to cultivate Zhao Ping!
Especially the guests in the mansion are most polite to Zhao Ping, and Zhao De is often ignored!
Is this so great?
In this era, the role of disciples was very huge. Both Lu Buwei and the fourth prince of the Warring States Period were very dependent on disciples.
After that, the officials and young men who usually surround him left him one by one, and they all surrounded Zhao Ping.
How can you not hate this gap?
"Zhao Ping, it's all you. If it weren't for you, how could my dignified son have fallen to this point!"
At this moment, a figure suddenly seemed to be drunk and bumped into him.
Zhao De fell to the ground in pain and cursed: "Which one is not eye-catching!"
The man who hit him didn't look back and seemed to hear him, and walked to the end of the street in a crooked manner.
Zhao De did not chase him, but just cursed the bad luck, then patted the soil on his body and walked into Wanhualou.
Only this Wanhualou can vent his anger. After an hour, he walked out of the room and his face naturally became much rosy.
Just as I was about to untie the wallet around my waist, I suddenly found that the wallet had disappeared.
For a moment, his face turned red. Many people in this girl's house have always spent a lot of money. I have never heard of anyone who can be used to be in vain, because behind this girl's house, I heard that there is a king, who dares to cause trouble?
Although he is a regular visitor, he can't say that next time, next time!
If this is spread, his prime minister, Prince Bai Piao, will he put his face in it?
The servant beside him saw Zhao De's expression, how could he not know the situation? "Young Master, you won't be..."
"Nonsense, is this young master a white-blown person?"
The servant was so scared that he said cleverly, "I didn't say anything!"
Zhao De could only take off the jade on his waist and hand it to the servant, saying, "I was stolen by the thief when I was in my pocket, but it was not my son who deliberately said to be useless... I did this intentionally, this jade is of great value. I will put it here first and I will redeem it tomorrow."
The servant took the jade as a result and said, "That's that, that's it. Who is the young master? How could he care about such a small amount of money?"
Zhao De was ready to leave with satisfaction, and suddenly someone came towards him. When he saw the situation between Zhao De and his servants, he was immediately happy and couldn't help but whisper: "The dignified Prime Minister, Young Master, has fallen into such a land, Baihualou, Baihualou, you have lost all the faces of my aristocratic children, Young Master De!"
Zhao De's whole body was trembling and his face was red. This person's words deliberately made everyone from all directions see them.
He glanced at the corners of his eyes and lowered his head and smiled slightly!
Zhao De said angrily: "Zhao Jin, you actually insulted me like this. Could it be that my young master's sword is not good?"
After saying that, Zhao De drew his sword and pointed it at Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin is Zhao Bao's youngest son. He had always had a good relationship with Gongzi De before, but later he went to Zhao Ping's side, so he was naturally quite resistant to him. At this time, Zhao De was angry, and Zhao Jin couldn't help but take two steps back in shock.
He thought to himself: "Everyone is here to play, not swords!"
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "Zhao De, isn't it just that he is short of money and draws his sword. Although I have said something before, I am not concerned about the face of my aristocratic race, but also about the face of the prime minister. Come on, I will give it to you how much you spend today. It just happened that yesterday, Mr. Ping invited me to wait for the prince here. Today, Mr. De is in trouble. How can I not repay him?"
Zhao De became even more angry. Zhao Jin's words were clearly criticized by him. It was unbearable to raise the prince Ping!
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the door.
"Let's go!" Zhao Zheng actually appeared here, and at this moment he walked towards Gongzide.
These children from aristocratic families bully Zhao Zheng a lot on weekdays, so they are naturally familiar with each other.
Zhao Zheng's appearance immediately made Zhao Jin change his target and sneered: "Oh, I didn't expect that the young master Zheng, who ate brown rice, would have money to come to Wanhua Building. Hahahaha, has the young master Zheng become rich?"
Zhao Zheng was unmoved, but smiled and said, "How can I compare with Gongzi Jin when I only eat brown rice? I just saw that you were aggressive and did not take the Prime Minister's legitimate son seriously at all. I was surprised. I don't know if it was your deliberate act or what Gongzi Ping ordered you to do!"
"But in my opinion, your actions today do not take the Prime Minister seriously at all. It seems that Prime Minister Zhao is nothing to say in your prince's eyes."
Zhao Zheng's words made Zhao Jin suddenly at a loss. If he didn't take Zhao Sheng seriously, his father wouldn't dare either. He said sternly: "Zhao Zheng, you are making trouble, you want to provoke me. I respect you very much. How could you speak nonsense?"
"Young Master De is the legitimate son of the Prime Minister. You are rude, but you have ever cared about the face of Mr. De? If Mr. De loses his face, then the Prime Minister loses his face. If Mr. De wants to open a daughter's house by himself, it will be easy, but what kind of person has he become in your eyes? What are your intentions?"
"You...you...you...you, your son-in-law, isn't this place where you randomly compile it?"
Zhao Zheng's words made Prince De straighten up, and the lost face instantly returned to him. His eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Zheng, "Confidant..." He could not have thought that when he was embarrassed, the one who helped him was the Qin State's hostage!
Zhao Zheng turned his head and smiled at Zhao De and said, "Prince De, I saw a sneaky person wandering outside. I was confused and captured him. Unexpectedly, a purse was found from him. I wonder if it was the stolen property of the purse?" Zhao Zheng took out a big purse from his arms, with the word "De" engraved on it!
When Zhao De saw this, he was overjoyed and said, "It's the thing behind me. Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for standing up for help today." After that, he glared at Zhao Jin!
"So that's it!"
"Zhao Jin has indeed said this today."
"Fortunately, there is this Qin hostage, otherwise, the incident of Gongzide in Handan City tomorrow will be spread all over the world, and the Prime Minister's face will not look good."
There was a lot of discussion around.
Zhao De and Zhao Zheng walked out of Wanhua Tower side by side, and then Zhao De said: "Prince Zheng, thanks to you today!"
"Young Master De, you are polite. I just can't stand it. It's getting late, so I won't stay too much. See you next time." Zhao Zheng left after saying that.
Seeing that Zhao Zheng left simply, Zhao De suddenly spoke out: "Wait, Prince Zheng, if you have nothing else, I might as well invite you to a bar."
"Oh? So late, there is a restaurant?"
"I said yes, so of course." Zhao De invited me like this, in addition to Zhao Zheng coming forward to help today, he also hadn't drunk with the children of the aristocratic race for a long time!
...
The two of them arrived at a restaurant. Gongzi De slapped the door. The shopkeeper saw that it was Gongzi De, so he immediately welcomed him.
The only two of them were in the whole building. Gongzide filled the wine. They drank a few sips and then started talking freely.
Suddenly, Gongzi De asked: "Zhao Zheng, you have been bullied by us, the princes of Zhao, for so many years in Handan. I wonder why you helped me today. In my opinion, you should be happy to see me laughing."
Zhao Zheng put aside his food and said, "Zhao De, in my opinion, you and I are both the same person. I am the host and you are the legitimate son. But the situation you and me are facing now is so similar, just sympathy. What do you think?"
Zhao De's eyes enlarged and he savored what Zhao Zheng said carefully. Yes, both of them are the same.
Zhao De took a big sip and said, "You are right, you are sympathetic. My younger brother Zhao Ping is now deeply loved by fathers. Although I am the legitimate son, I am like a concubine son."
Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "What the Prime Minister thinks is that Zhao State is strong and powerful. Now that Wei State is in a weak position, you will naturally be constrained. He likes Zhao Ping, but he is nothing more than a monastery behind Zhao Ping, a disciple of the Mo family, spreading across the seven countries, claiming to have 100,000 fencers, and his power cannot be underestimated. If Zhao Ping inherits his title, he will definitely promote the Mo family theory in Zhao State in the future. The Mo family will also do its best to help Zhao State be strong. This is what the Prime Minister is willing to see."
"However, what the Prime Minister thought about me was quite risky, and it might even bring disaster to Zhao State!" Zhao Zheng continued.
Zhao De was stunned and said, "Oh? Could it be that Prince Zheng has another idea?"
"Haha, of course, it's just that this matter is said, disaster will come. You know that I am in Handan, so you must not talk nonsense and cause trouble."
"This... Zhao Zheng, today we met each other and we were both sick and pity each other. What can you say? There is no third person here. If you say something, how can I say it randomly?"
When Zhao Zheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "This is only what you and me!"
"In the past, your uncle stole the talisman and saved Zhao. In addition to the reasons why Qin State became bigger and threatened Wei State, there was another reason that your biological mother was connected to the two countries. Now that your biological mother has passed away, the connection between the two countries has been cut off, the Prime Minister naturally dared not gamble. How could he guarantee that the next time Qin State attacked, Wei State would not think about protecting itself and give up saving Zhao? You must know that the last time was also the military talisman stolen by your uncle."
Zhao De listened carefully without saying a word.
"But the Prime Minister clearly knows that if you inherit the title, you can reconnect the interrupted connection. Why did you still choose Zhao Ping?"
"Of course it's because he doesn't know your ability. Have you ever been to Wei State? Can you influence the monarch of Wei State like Xinling? You can't do these things, so the Prime Minister will naturally not place bets on you."
"However, the Baijia is the Baijia after all, and the Mo family's ruling ideas may not help Zhao's strong and might bring disaster to Zhao. I believe these are not what the Prime Minister wants to see, nor what Gongzi De, you want to see." Zhao Zheng lowered his tone and stared at Zhao De's eyes!
Zhao De was shocked at this moment, yes, Zhao Ping and the Mo family might not necessarily be as thought to their father. What if Zhao State was affected and decayed.
He said: "You are right, you are right. I must not see that the father-in-law's lifelong expectations were destroyed in the hands of the Mo family."
Zhao Zheng finally figured it out and continued, "I am Qin Zhengzi, and I shouldn't have told you this, but you want to make Zhao strong and unwilling to be a concubine's son. You only know how to drink and get drunk all day long and don't plan for progress. How can this happen? You are a prominent family. Don't you know how much you have to pay if you want to get a reward? Do you don't understand such a simple truth?"
Zhao De's fist was clenched by Zhao Zheng's words at this moment, and the veins on his forehead swelled up.
"Then what price I have to pay!" He gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Zhao Zheng said: "This is too expensive. Once it is done, you will be the biggest beneficiary. Maybe everyone will know that it was you who did it secretly. Are you sure you want to do it?"
Zhao De said in a deep voice: "Everything I have done is just for the strength of Zhao State, and the goal is the same as that of the Father's Prime Minister. I believe that the Father's Prime Minister will not blame me."
...
The two of them had a secret talk, and the hour had passed.
The two made an appointment to implement the plan and said goodbye to each other.
Zhao Zheng came to the host family and lit the lamp. Su Jie's figure appeared again!
Zhao Zheng said: "General Su, I told Gongzi De everything as you said, and he really agreed."
Su Jie smiled and said, "In fact, what he wanted most in his heart was the thing that once belonged to him. Therefore, he would not refuse in terms of human nature."
"Human nature?" Zhao Zheng had some confusion in his mind.
