I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

"Patriarch, Shang Shuling is here."

Xiong Qi was stunned for a moment, isn't Shang Shuling the servant next to Ying Zheng?

What is he here for?

Is it to make fun of the old man?

On the face of it, the old man is still the prime minister of the state of Qin, and at the same time he is also the father-in-law of the king. If he dares to make fun of the old man, he will look good on him.

Did he think he was that guy Zhang He?

"I have met the prime minister!"

Zhao Gao had a smile on his face, wishing he could laugh out his chrysanthemum.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiong Qi asked with the majesty of a prime minister.

Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment, "Damn it, did I mess with you?"

Show me a bad face!

Immortal, you are no longer the prime minister, what's the point?

But even if he is no longer the prime minister, but he is the father-in-law of the king, with this title, he is [-] blocks away.

Zhao Gao took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, and smiled again: "Your Majesty declares you to enter the palace."

Oh?

Xiong Qi was stunned for a moment, then he began to think.

Since his daughter Mihua warned him, he has restrained himself a lot. He hasn't done anything illegal recently, and his family members are strict with him, so it is impossible for him to make any mistakes.

Hearing that Daqin fought the Yuezhi this time and returned in a big defeat, losing 10,000+ Daqin elites, the king was very angry.

Does the king want to restart himself and let himself be the prime minister?

If only so!

Hehehe, Zhang He... the old man will kill you with his own hands, and crush you to ashes.

"Zhao Shangshu, did your majesty say something?"

Zhao Gao said with a smile: "Such things, how can I, a little Shang Shuling, know about it? The Prime Minister has praised me, please move to the palace!"

Xiong Qi snorted coldly in his heart, he knew the taste of these servants.

"Housekeeper, get some gifts for Shang Shuling. The things in the palace are all custom-made, there are no tricks, let Shang Shuling change the taste."

Zhao Gao quickly refused, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, what are you doing, if the king finds out, you must deal with me, I dare not accept..."

The butler hummed and carried a box, and came to Zhao Gao. When he opened it, it was golden and filled with golden cakes. Zhao Gao suddenly lost the courage to speak.

Zhao Gao: "Prime Minister, how embarrassing this is!"

Xiong Qi: "It's too hard for Zhao Shangshu to accompany the king every day. It's not bad for a change!"

Xiong Qi: "Please also ask Zhao Shangshu to say something nice in front of the king!"

Zhao Gao: "Definitely, definitely!"

Zhao Gao received the golden pancakes, Xiong Qi went to change clothes, and then they entered the palace together.

Chapter 347 Ying Zheng Beats Xiong Qi

In Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng was still dealing with government affairs, and he was annoyed by the mountain of bamboo slips.

But considering that paper is a sharp weapon used to capture Yan Qichu, it cannot be used for the time being to prevent people with ulterior motives from stealing the paper.

On the other hand, once paper is used, the demand will be huge, after all, paper consumes resources.

Moreover, the current production is slow. In order to prevent the papermaking technology from spreading, Ying Zheng and Zhang He just set up a workshop with 500 people on the south bank of the Weihe River and managed it militarily.

"Sir Xiong Qi, I have met the King."

The bamboo slips taller than a person buried Ying Zheng in it. When Ying Zheng heard Xiong Qi coming, he didn't make a sound, but continued to review the memorial. He wanted to leave Xiong Qi alone.

What about the old man?

Xiong Qi bowed, seeing that the king was silent, he glanced at Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao took Xiong Qi a box of golden pancakes, as the saying goes, he is short-handed and soft-mouthed.

Zhao Gao immediately understood, smiled and came to Ying Zheng's side and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is here!"

Snapped!

A roll of bamboo slips hit Zhao Gao's face immediately, and blood flowed out immediately. Zhao Gao's legs went limp, and before he had time to wipe off the blood, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your servant should die!"

Ying Zheng stood up slowly, looked at Zhao Gao coldly, and said angrily, "I'm not deaf, need you remind me?"

"Delay the widow's review of the memorial, pull it out, twenty army sticks!"

"My lord, please forgive me, I will never dare again!"

A few black-armored soldiers came in from the door, and immediately dragged Zhao Gao, who was like a dead pig, to the door, and then there were slaps, slaps, slaps.

Xiong Qi was dumbfounded, he stood on the side blankly, his little heart was throbbing.

Only then did Ying Zheng turn around slowly, with a cold smile on his face: "The prime minister is here, please sit down!"

Xiong Qi bowed slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Xiong Qi sat down, he began to think in his heart. Before that, he didn't believe that Da Qin had lost the battle against Yueshi. Now he began to believe that the king had never been so violent.

It seems that Daqin suffered a defeat at the hands of the Yue clan, which made the king very angry, so he took his anger on Zhao Gao.

Will you vent your anger on yourself later?

However, Xiong Qi was also very happy in his heart. It was Zhang He's fault that Da Qin was defeated.

Zhang He, Zhang He, I didn't expect you to have today.

When you come back this time, you have lost the brilliance of your military exploits. I see you are still embarrassed.

"Prime Minister, do you know why the widow recruited you this time?"

Xiong Qi was interrupted by Ying Zheng's question because he was obsessive, and quickly got up and said: "Your Majesty, I haven't paid attention to the court for a long time, so I don't know why Your Majesty recruited me?"

"I don't pay attention to the court, but the prime minister should be very concerned about the affairs of Chu."

Xiong Qi was taken aback, his heart trembled, and he quickly said: "My lord, the Chu country is my mother country, and it is really heartbreaking to encounter disasters."

"But I am from Qin, my mother is the princess of Qin, I am the prime minister of Qin, I am from Qin at birth, and the soul of Qin at death!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Chu is the Prime Minister's home country, and the Prime Minister is worried about it. There is nothing wrong with that. After all, Chu King You and Young Master Lingchu are both the Prime Minister's younger brothers."

"The two of them fought so hard for the position of the King of Chu that the subjects of the Chu Kingdom were living in dire straits. I have more people than I can do... My heart aches very much!"

Xiong Qi's eyes were red, tears were streaming down his face, and he cried, "Your Majesty..."

"Hey, the 800-year-old state of Chu may be ruined in their hands. The Baiyue alien race counterattacked and already occupied the entire Jiujiang Lord. The Queen of Baiyue has gathered 10,000+ people, and she is eyeing the Shouchun of Chu State in the south. ..."

Xiong Qi was startled, have the remnants of Baiyue become so rampant?

"The worst thing for a widow to see is the invasion of foreign races. After all, Chu State is also a country in the Central Plains. 800 years ago, the Seven Kingdoms were all one family."

"If the king of Chu is still willing, I can send troops to help him and let him stabilize the state of Chu."

"No matter how much the Central Plains country fights, it's just brothers dividing the family. But if a foreign race invades, it's equivalent to the neighbor joining the war and taking away some things from your family. Would you like it?"

Xiong Qi nodded, what the king said made sense.

"Hey... It's a pity that the king of Chu still disagrees with the widow sending troops to help, saying that the widow will take his land. It's just too annoying. Is the widow that kind of person?"

"It's like treating a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain! Hateful! Hateful!"

"Back then, Duke Huan of Qi went north to help the country of Yan suppress the rebellion, expel the Hu people from invading, and protect the country of Yan. Duke Huan of Qi was on his way home, and Duke Huan of Yan personally sent him off. As the overlord of the Central Plains, Duke Huan of Qi still said that the two were the same. He is the lord of a country, how could he be sent across thousands of miles..."

"This is the ritual of the Son of Heaven, which is inconsistent with reason. In order to express the rescue of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Yan ceded the hundred miles of land under his feet to the State of Qi, just to prevent Duke Huan of Qi from losing his etiquette. Duke Huan of Qi didn't want it, so Duke Yan reported it. Son of Heaven, let Emperor Zhou personally distribute that piece of land to the state of Qi."

"The widow now owns half of the world, so do you still care about the little shit in Chu? The widow just hates the invasion of the Central Plains by foreign races."

"Look, Prime Minister, in the Great Qin with few people, there are aliens who dare to come and act wildly. We drive the Xiongnu in the north, conquer the Yuezhi in the west, and the Qiang people in the southwest dare not move..."

"Why? Because I hate alien races slaughtering the Central Plains, and I use the power of the whole country to defeat them!"

"As early as King Zhou You's time, Xirong invaded Haojing, killed people and destroyed the ancestral temple. What a sad moment?"

"My vast land of the Central Plains has been passed down for thousands of years and has endured for a long time. How can I let barbarians of other races occupy it? How can I be worthy of my ancestors?"

"Back when Xi Rong invaded, it was our country of Qin who took the initiative to attack and unite with the princes to drive Xi Rong out of the Central Plains. Therefore, I have inherited the legacy of my ancestors, and I only hate the alien race!"

After Ying Zheng's speech, he felt that he was moved, he clenched his fists and fought with each other.

Xiong Qi was also mobilized by Ying Zheng, he was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were red.

Everyone has a patriotic heart, especially a royal disciple like Xiong Qi.

His mother country was about to be annexed by other races, and the two younger brothers in the country were fighting for the throne, which was simply unbearable.

Especially in recent years, the development of Qin State has made Xiong Qi more aware of the benefits of a strong country.

"Today, the prime minister is here because he wants the prime minister to go to the state of Chu, to persuade the King of Chu, and the young master, that even if they don't want Daqin to send troops to help, the two of them should stop fighting and deal with Baiyue together!"

Then, Ying Zheng said angrily: "If I have such two bastard brothers, I will have one sword and one sword..."

Xiong Qi's face turned red, having such two younger brothers was simply a shame to him, he thought that the king of Chu would be enough to shame him, but he didn't expect these two people to shame him even more.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to persuade King Chu of Chu to wake up early."

"Okay, Prime Minister, with the highest etiquette, I let you go to Chu as an envoy, and you can also visit your mother country by the way."

"Thank you king."

"However, don't worry, let's start tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 348 Mi Hua Came to Educate Xiong Qi Again

When Xiong Qi came out of the palace, he was very annoyed.

For the two younger brothers, it was really like what the king said, one sword, one sword, and they were all killed.

As soon as he reached home on his front foot, two people came on his back foot.

These two people are none other than his daughter Mihua and his grandson Fusu.

"Daughter, I have met my father."

"Grandson Fusu, pay my respects to Grandpa."

The corner of Xiong Qi's mouth twitched, and he quickly bowed to salute. Although they were his daughter and grandson, they were Ying Zheng's woman and son after all!

But Mi Hua asked directly: "I heard that my father is going to Chu State as an envoy?"

Xiong Qi nodded, and said very annoyed: "The two bastards, King Chu You and Young Master Lingchu, want to destroy Chu State. I can't watch it anymore. I have to go and stop them."

"Father, we are going to Chu State. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. You must take care of yourself."

Xiong Qi glanced at his daughter Mi Hua, and said with a smile, "You didn't just come to see me off, you have something to say!"

Mi Hua nodded emphatically: "Father, you must remember that you are the prime minister of Qin State, and you are also the national battle of Qin State. You must put Qin State's interests first."

"After all, my father grew up eating from the state of Qin, and the state of Chu has nothing but an identity for his father. To the state of Chu, his father is like an enemy."

"Also, the child Fusu is obedient and sensible. His Majesty cultivated him like his successor. He found the best teacher for him, and the Majesty often spared time to teach this child himself..."

"Also, Fusu is the eldest son, according to etiquette..."

"Fusu, you go outside to play for a while, and mother will talk to your grandfather."

Fusu was annoyed, the teacher was coming soon, he was busy with his homework, and was dragged by his mother to visit relatives.

He was annoyed when he saw this old man, this old man actually hated his teacher, he was very happy when he heard that the teacher was not good, didn't he just punch you?

Anyway, you are also the prime minister, and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, so trivial things are all hanging on him.

Hey, it's useless!

But don't know why?Father wants his grandfather to go to Chu State as an envoy?

Hey!
