Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 202 Mother and Son (Part )

When the King of Qin was fifty years old,
Ying Zheng was two years old.

He walked around the yard very lively, waving his fat and short arms and legs and walking steadily.

Several maids followed behind him, carefully guarding the young master.

Zhao Ji walked in front, happily picking flowers in the courtyard to embellish her face.

Only when she had almost finished feeling sorry for herself did she have time to turn her gaze to the child.

Little Ying Zheng just walked up to her and was looking up at Zhao Ji.

As Ying Yiren said,
Ying Zheng's eyes were bright and watery enough to reflect the face of the person he was looking at when he stared at them.

Zhao Ji therefore saw herself in Ying Zheng's eyes and felt that mothers like herself were rare in the world!
She felt somewhat pleased with herself, and then she held up a flower and said to the child, "Zheng'er, does mother look good?"

"nice!"

The child spoke clearly, then picked a bright flower with his little hand and pinned it on his ear.

Zhao Ji was amused by him and laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.

The child also smiled happily, and the few little white teeth in his mouth were very eye-catching in the sunlight.

Zhao Ji's maternal love was rarely aroused.

After all, when the child stopped crying or making a fuss, Zhao Ji could still remember that she had given birth to him and was his mother.

then,

Zhao Ji then found Ying Yiren and told him about her sudden love for her son.

"You want to take the kids out to play?"

Ying Yiren was discussing important matters of life with Lu Buwei again——

The Battle of Changping ended.

Almost three years have passed.

During this period, the State of Qin also asked the State of Zhao to "exchange the hostage" with the intention of bringing Ying Yiren back.

But King Zhao was quite wary of this.

After dealing with the Qin people for a long time, the King of Zhao knew:
Why would the Qin State specifically ask for a hostage for no reason?

There must be fraud!

Therefore, the King of Zhao refused to let go, and the State of Qin did not want to pay an extra price to redeem Ying Yiren.

therefore,

This matter has been delayed until now.

Ying Yiren was very anxious, but he could not show it to the outside world. He could only ask Lu Buwei to travel back and forth between Qin and Zhao to gather information.

Now hearing what Zhao Ji said, he was even a little moved——

Two years.
This stupid woman who only had a face to look at finally came to her senses and realized that she had to take care of the child!
To know,
Ying Yiren actually attached great importance to his eldest son.

Because the throne had always been passed down to the eldest son in the Qin State for several generations, King Ji of Qin had legitimate reasons to accept his brother's last will, which was in accordance with etiquette and law and was legitimate.

So when he returns to Qin, if nothing unexpected happens, Ying Zheng will definitely be made the crown prince!
Ying Yiren was privately worried.
The little Ying Zheng will inherit his mother's traits.

Fortunately, when he was two years old, Ying Zheng performed very well.

He seldom cries, speaks and walks very early.

Now he can even speak clearly and think clearly when answering simple questions to adults.

This made Ying Yiren put aside his worries about his heir's talent.

Then emerged,

This is the love he has for his children as a father.

Ying Yiren still hoped that Zhao Ji could be a qualified mother and let her child grow up well.

"Then take him out for a walk!"

"I still have something to do!"

Zhao Ji snorted unhappily, "You have trouble every day!"

I really don't understand.

What's the point of whispering with a man in a room?
Zhao Ji turned and left, returning to Ying Zheng.

The child was also very happy to know that he was allowed to go out.

He opened his arms, wanting his mother to pick him up.

After all, it was the mother who suggested “going out to play”, so of course I had to hold him!
But Zhao Ji ignored the child's desire and just ordered, "I want to dress up!"

"There are a lot of people outside, remember to keep an eye on the young master!"

The maid agreed.

So when I went out,

Zhao Ji was dressed beautifully, and the child was held in the arms of a strong maid, accompanied by two guards.

……

And on the other side,
Not far from Handan City, He Bo was organizing a team.

"Don't run around!"

"If you run around, you'll be caught and eaten as game!"

He spread his wings and chirped in bird language.

The bunch of beasts in front of him kept nodding, responding from the bottom of their hearts, "I know, I know!"

"That's okay!"

"Go and experience the last prosperity of Handan. This scenery will become less and less in the future!"

He Bo flapped his wings and dispersed the birds and beasts in front of him.

The other day,

The dead ghosts heard the news from the living world:
Fan Sui was jealous of Bai Qi's achievements and did not want to be outdone by him, so he encouraged the King of Qin to plan another attack on Zhao. He said to the King of Qin, "After the Battle of Changping, Zhao has weakened greatly. If we do not seize this opportunity to attack and destroy it, once Zhao recovers, it will hinder Qin's great cause!"

The King of Qin thought what he said made sense.

"Who should we send to attack Zhao?"

"Wang Ling can go!" Fan Sui was eager to win credit, so how could he let Bai Qi go again?

He directly recommended another general.

When Bai Qi heard about this, he just sighed and then claimed to be sick.

Heihu came to visit the seriously ill Wu'an Jun, and at the same time asked this experienced "talent plunderer of other countries" what the outcome of the attack on Zhao would be.

If we introduce too many talents,
He always has to make arrangements in advance.

But Bai Qi said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

"After the Battle of Changping, the king and his ministers of Zhao felt the crisis of national destruction, so they had to discuss matters very early every day and finish work very late."

"Plus, people's hearts are still very supportive of Zhao, so although Zhao's recovery is slow, it cannot be destroyed all at once."

"Now Fan Sui is eager for quick success and wants to overwhelm me through merit. I am afraid that this will harm the interests of Qin!"

Heihu scratched his head, "So it was the Prime Minister's suggestion?"

"But doesn't this mean that you and the Prime Minister are not on good terms?"

He clapped his hands and responded.

Bai Qi just laughed at the honest man Heihu and did not say anything more about the grudges between him and Fan Sui.

But Hei Hu said, "The discord between the general and the minister is a very dangerous thing!"

"Aren't there many countries in the world that have declined because of this kind of thing?"

"The Qin State was very sharp in the past. I think it's okay to suffer a little loss... Anyway, this generation will definitely not destroy the six states!"

"But I am very worried about your safety, Wu Anjun!"

"Now the Prime Minister has gone in the wrong direction in order to surpass you. Will he do something even more extreme in the future?"

"The king is so old, and he has always been wise and intelligent. As a subject, I cannot bear to see him do something like hiding his bow and arrows at a time like this, ruining his reputation!"

After all,

The illegal immigrant went back to find a solution.

Bai Qi was more easy-going about such things.

After all, he killed too many people on the battlefield, so it was only right that he didn't die a good death.

But the Heihu was so kind-hearted that he shouldn't pour cold water on him.

Bai Qi just lay at home recuperating, quietly waiting for news of Qin's defeat.

And to this,
He Bo naturally knew it all.

But the dead ghosts couldn't know too many details.

In particular, several ancestors of the State of Zhao really believed that if the Qin army came again, their country would be overthrown!
then,

They lamented, hoping to gain grace from the gods and ghosts to allow them to walk the streets of Handan again and experience the local customs and culture.

Not many years left,
You have to keep some thoughts in mind.

He Bo agreed to the request.

But the degree of freedom of our ancestors is not as high as that of old friends trusted by ghosts and gods.

They can only transform themselves into some birds and animals, and reminisce the scenery of their lifetime with a different perspective.

Anyway, ghosts and gods often transform themselves into animals and play around everywhere.

Now we have to let the dead ghost change as well, can't they accept that?
Even if you don't agree, keep it to yourself!

The big black bird that He Bo transformed into proudly occupied the highest branch of a tree on the outskirts of Handan, feeling the ancestors of the State of Zhao running around in the city and expressing his feelings repeatedly.

Ever since Zhao Jinghou moved the capital from Zhongmu to Handan, this place has carried the memories of too many people.

But the never-ending war will mercilessly destroy this prosperous city.

He Bo pecked at the feathers on his wings, squinting his eyes and thinking:
"How many more years?"

"The Battle of Changping has already been fought, so the First Emperor should have been born, right?"

"Ugh!"

"I'm too lazy to count it!"

After experiencing such a long time, He Bo has indeed become a little insensitive to the passage of time.

He could nap in the Great Hall of Haoli for more than ten years at a time, or lie on the plateau for decades at a time...

The disturbances of the world,
For ghosts and gods,
It's no longer something that needs constant concern.

"...Big Fat Bird!"

Just as He Bo was sighing in his heart, he heard a child's voice.

The boy held by the maid stretched out his fat, short fingers, pointed at the fat bird that bent the branch too much, making the whole tree seem "unable to bear the weight", and shouted bluntly.

He Bo immediately became furious:
Who are you calling fat bird?
Could it be that I have gained weight because I haven't been active for so many years?

He was so angry that he fluttered his wings, looked down at the brat with cold and ruthless eyes for a while, then flew away proudly.

snort!
Don't bother with that little brat!
Little Ying Zheng let out another cry of surprise when he saw the big fat bird fly away and the branch quickly bounced back.

He looked very happy and wanted his mother to share his joy.

But Zhao Ji's maternal love only allowed her to continue taking her child out for a walk.

She was dazzled by the hustle and bustle outside and did not respond to the child's call. She just chatted and laughed with the noble lady she met.

Ying Zheng shouted a few times,

Finally, I lowered my head in disappointment.
No more happiness.
