When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

"Who said that?" Yang Chong was not convinced and bit Yan Lingji.

Seeing this, Yan Lingji turned her head to the side, leaving Yang Chong empty-handed, and said with a smile, "You can't bite it, you can't bite it."

What’s even more hateful is that he kept shaking his head while speaking, not giving Yang Chong any chance.

But Yan Lingji forgot that she was now completely under Yang Chong's control. She won in this regard, but what about in another one?

"Go quickly, things over there are more important. I don't want Zi Nu to say that I am a femme fatale in the future." Yan Lingji, whose weakness was caught, could only change the subject. When Yang Chong's martial arts was not as good as hers, he could bully her. When Yang Chong's martial arts was better than hers, she would be bullied even more. It was the same now, but this time Yan Lingji was not without means of counterattack.

"Why do I feel weird when you say this?" Yang Chong had no choice but to let Yan Lingji go. Now was not the time to indulge himself. The matters in the palace were related to his future plans and could not afford any mistakes.

"You look down on me again. Don't I know anything at all?" Yan Lingji jumped off the bed and took clothes for Yang Chong from the clothes rack beside her.

"You don't need to understand those things. Yan Lingji is just Yan Lingji." Yang Chong put on his clothes with the help of Yan Lingji.

"Go and lie to the little girl with these words." Yan Lingji tied Yang Chong's belt, took out a handful of things, and then pushed Yang Chong away. It would be more comfortable for her to sleep alone, so she let Yang Chong fight on his own!

"I'll teach you a lesson when I come back." Yang Chong was really helpless at this time and could only let Yan Lingji be proud for the time being.

When Yang Chong arrived at the front hall, he saw Zhao Cong who was already waiting there.

"Sir Yang, please follow me to the palace quickly. The king has passed away, and the queen needs you." Zhao Cong came forward and said anxiously.

Although he didn't know how Yang Chong established a relationship with Queen Zhao and gained her trust, he knew that as long as Crown Prince Zhao Qian could ascend the throne safely, Queen Zhao would become Queen Mother Zhao and the most powerful woman in the State of Zhao.

Since Yang Chong was so trusted by Queen Zhao, his status in Zhao State would not be low in the future. More importantly, Yang Chong was very capable. It was inevitable that a capable person with connections would do well. How could Zhao Cong, who was keen on making friends, miss out on such a connection?

What's more, the two of them already have a friendship and can cooperate further in the future.

"General Zhao, don't worry. This place is not far from the palace. We will be there soon." Yang Chong said.

Yang Chong's mansion, as Lian Po's former residence, was indeed not far from the royal palace, so the two men left the mansion and headed straight for the palace. When they arrived at the palace, their mounts were only covered in a thin layer of sweat.

In the central hall of the Zhao Palace, important officials of the Zhao State have arrived here one after another. They may not be able to play much of a role here, but they must not leave the Zhao Palace. They may not be able to play any role here, but outside the palace, they can do a lot of things.

The reason these people were summoned here at this time was not to let them play any role, but to prevent them from doing anything bad.

When Yang Chong arrived at the hall, Queen Zhao and Crown Prince Zhao Qian were discussing matters with several ministers, laying out various tasks. Of course, Guo Kai was speaking more. Although Queen Zhao also had several confidants, there were only a few of them in the court. She didn't know which one she could trust and which one she couldn't. Queen Zhao still needed Guo Kai's help.

However, after seeing Yang Chong, Queen Zhao no longer needed Guo Kai to remind her. She knew better than anyone whether Yang Chong was reliable or not.

After all, the two of them had just done something earth-shattering not long ago, something that only the two of them knew about, and would become the biggest secret between them in the future.

This experience of doing bad things together made Queen Zhao have absolute trust in Yang Chong at this time.

"Mr. Yang, you will be appointed as the Palace Gate Sima and be promoted to Shang Qing. The defense of the royal palace will be handed over to you." Before Yang Chong could speak, Queen Zhao spoke directly.

"Yes." Yang Chong didn't say much. For the benefits that Queen Zhao had promised him before, he would just stand guard for her for a few days.

Guo Kai looked at Yang Chong in surprise. When did Yang Chong become so trusted by Queen Zhao?

Although Yang Chong had proven his abilities in the recent war and was fully capable of serving as Palace Gate Sima, this position was more sensitive than ever before.

After some trouble, Queen Zhao found a free time and appeared in front of Yang Chong.

"Is there anything wrong with what I am doing now?" The lights in the hall illuminated Queen Zhao's face, which looked quite eerie and terrifying.

"There is nothing wrong. As long as these people in the hall acknowledge the prince's throne and respect you as the queen mother, everything will be fine. Even if someone has unnecessary thoughts and does something, they are nothing more than traitors." Yang Chong said.

In fact, Queen Zhao does not need to worry too much now. It is a natural thing for Crown Prince Zhao Qian to ascend the throne. On the contrary, if others want to do something, it would be extremely troublesome.

"We must first control the city of Handan, and then control the entire State of Zhao." said the Queen of Zhao. At this time, she calmed down and knew what she should do.

"You don't have to turn everyone into your own people. They just need to be loyal to the throne of King Zhao." Yang Chong said.

In the minds of people like Queen Zhao, they can only feel safe if everyone is loyal to them. For this so-called sense of security, she can do anything, even killing loyal ministers and generals.

Li Mu’s future tragedy is largely due to her thoughts.

"Is there any difference?" Queen Zhao asked in confusion. She obviously did not understand the reminder Yang Chong gave her.

"In this court, some people do it for their own selfish interests, some for their so-called ambitions and ideals, and some for the State of Zhao. These people have different pursuits, and their attitudes towards the Queen Mother are also different," said Yang Chong.

"You mean to say that those who are loyal to me are mostly doing it for the so-called interests?" Queen Zhao grasped something sharply.

“Not necessarily, but you have to understand that there is no loyalty without reason,” Yang Chong explained.

"Like us? There is no loyalty, only cooperation, cooperation for the sake of profit." Queen Zhao understood and there was a hint of smile in her eyes when she looked at Yang Chong.

She came from a humble background and did not understand the so-called strategies of governing a country, but she understood human nature. Just like now, she could tell that Yang Chong was reminding her, a kind reminder, or even a teaching.

No one had ever told her these things, not even King Yan of Zhao.

If Yang Chong knew what Queen Zhao was thinking at this moment, he would definitely stay away from her. He did not want to mess with this woman. A woman who could kill her own husband had the potential to be a black widow.

"It's for profit. The Queen doesn't suffer any loss in this transaction." Yang Chong replied coldly.

"I know." Queen Zhao rolled her eyes at Yang Chong, expressing her dissatisfaction with his lack of understanding of romance. Of course, there was nothing else to say.

Soon her son will ascend the throne and become the King of Zhao, and she, the Queen of Zhao, will become the Queen Mother of Zhao and a woman who wields power in the State of Zhao. How could she possibly try to please a man?

In the past, she tried her best to please men in order to get what she wanted. Now that she is finally getting what she wants, if she still tries to please men, then all her struggles over the years would have been in vain.

Everything she has done over the years was to ensure that she no longer has to smile at any man.

"Is your ideal to retake Qi?" Recalling her past, Queen Zhao started another topic.

She was not as calm as she looked after doing what she had done. After all, King Yan of Zhao was still her husband, the man who changed her destiny and gave her everything. So she needed to find someone to talk to in order to relieve the pressure in her heart.

But how could she let others know about these things, so she could only talk to Yang Chong.

"I have many ideals, and Qi is just one of them," said Yang Chong.

"You men are all so greedy. I am much simpler. I only have one ideal," said Queen Zhao.

"What is it?" Yang Chong, who didn't know why the queen who was about to be promoted wanted to stick to him, could only go along with what she said.

"I want to break away from my background and no longer smile at any man. I want those men to smile at me." Queen Zhao said confidently and boldly, which made Yang Chong look at her sideways for a moment.

This is a woman who dares to defy fate.

Sure enough, in this world, everyone is his or her own protagonist. Everyone has his or her own story and his or her own ups and downs, and the same is true for Queen Zhao.

A girl who was born in a prostitute family could escape the fate of prostitutes and become the woman of a country's throne, and soon become the queen mother. In this era, how many women can do this?

Compared to the women in the Han Palace who were scheming against King Han An, Queen Zhao was undoubtedly much more powerful.

South Korea? Maybe that place is abnormal, including its people, and Zhao is what a country should be like.

"Then congratulations, Queen. You will soon realize your dream." Yang Chong looked at the woman next to him. Although she was a little bad, she was a very normal woman. She was not noble, and even despicable, but she was truly bad.

"Then I also wish you to realize your dream as soon as possible." Queen Zhao smiled. It turned out that doing bad things together could quickly bring people closer together.

"Thank you for your good words, Your Majesty." Yang Chong replied.

It all started from this palace.

Chapter 217: Lustful Yan Lingji

There were no unexpected events in the change of the throne of Zhao State, and the transition was very smooth.

In fact, it was true. Zhao Qian was the crown prince and Queen Zhao was alive and well. It was the most normal thing for Zhao Qian to ascend the throne. If something really happened, it would be unreasonable, especially the sudden death of King Zhao Yan. People from all parties were unable to react. It was with the cooperation of Queen Zhao and Guo Kai that Zhao Qian's throne was determined. Since then, Zhao had a new king, King Zhao Qian.

Now that King Qian of Zhao's status had been confirmed, even if some people had some thoughts they had to suppress them. Rebellion was not something that could be done easily in any country.

During this period of time, Yang Chong also met the so-called dignitaries from all levels of Zhao State, including those from Daibei and the heartland of Zhao State. The Queen Mother Zhao, who had successfully completed her job transfer, was able to deal with them with ease, or it could be said that she was a person who was good at dancing with the long sleeves, and the same was true for her with the current situation.

When it comes to handling interpersonal relationships, Queen Mother Zhao is considered professional, but when it comes to handling state affairs, she is not so good. In just one month, Yang Chong has seen that some of the people she promoted were not very good. They were just good at dealing with people, but their abilities were a mess. Such people, because they were good at scheming, soon occupied high positions in the Zhao court.

As time goes by, there will be more and more people like this, and this is a problem that is likely to arise when women are in power.

Being clever but lacking wisdom, being close to villains and staying away from virtuous ministers, confusing national interests with personal gains, in the long run, it will only bring disaster to the country and the people.

However, these had nothing to do with Yang Chong. After King Qian of Zhao ascended the throne, Yang Chong left the palace. Zhao Cong became the Sima of Handan, in charge of the defense of Handan. Guo Kai continued to serve as his prime minister, but compared with King Yan of Zhao, Queen Zhao was undoubtedly more dependent on Guo Kai.

As for Yang Chong, he stayed at home, waiting for the Queen Mother of Zhao to fulfill her promise and grant him Yecheng, Anyang, Dong'a and other places south of the Great Wall of Zhao.

"That woman won't go back on her word, right? Just like King Yan of Zhao at that time?" Yan Lingji, who was sitting by the pond and holding a fishing rod in a serious manner, asked Yang Chong. She really didn't have the patience to keep her silent for a long time, especially with Yang Chong around.

"No." Yang Chong, curled up in the recliner, replied lazily.

"Do you trust her so much? This is true. I have never seen you trust anyone so much." Yan Lingji smiled, but she looked at Yang Chong with a very scrutinizing look.

"Zhao State belongs to King Yan of Zhao, so he will feel sad. But Queen Zhao is different. What she cares about is her son's throne, not Zhao State. So she doesn't feel sad about giving several cities to me." Yang Chong said.

"There doesn't seem to be any difference, right?" Yan Lingji asked suspiciously. Yang Chong's words sounded mysterious, but she couldn't hear the difference.

"This is the difference between men and women. Okay, don't worry. In my estimation, we will be able to go back soon. But this time we have to move again. Yecheng is a good place, but it is a little too far from Qi State, so Dong'a is the most suitable place. There, we can continue to control Jibei County and remotely control Yecheng. It only takes three years for us to pull out an army of 100,000 people. With an army of 100,000 people in hand, we can really dominate the world." Yang Chong imagined.

I have to say that Yang Chong is a very optimistic person. Even before he even starts to develop his horoscope, he is already thinking about a bright future.

"How can it be that easy!" Yan Lingji said in disbelief. She had seen some of the so-called chess game of the world because of her experiences over the years. Although she believed that Yang Chong was omnipotent, in this chess game of the world, Yang Chong could not plan out hundreds of years of other people's foundation in just a few years of operation. Nothing in the world was that easy.

"It is not difficult for me. Give me a corner, and I can get a country. If I have a country, I can take over the world. My real strength has only been shown a little bit now. When I own a country, the power I possess can be truly demonstrated. I will turn the world upside down." Yang Chong smiled confidently.

Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong who was full of high spirits. Even though she thought she knew Yang Chong best in the world, she didn't know where Yang Chong's confidence came from.

Yan Lingji certainly didn't know where Yang Chong's confidence came from.

For Yang Chong, his greatest confidence is not the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan, but the fact that he has two thousand years of experience based on this world. These experiences could not show any power when Yang Chong was just one person, but if Yang Chong owned a country, he could use this country to transform his experience into reality, and then burst out with power beyond the imagination of this world.

Apart from anything else, wasn’t this how the salt fields in Jibei County, which made a fortune every day, came into being?

It can be said that the insight that Yang Chong possesses is the so-called "one". When he has his own foundation, countless zeros will appear after this "one", allowing him to possess the strongest power in the shortest time. Although this process may not be smooth sailing, it is by no means impossible.

"I believe this, just like when we were in Korea. But I can't be left out this time." Yan Lingji didn't know where Yang Chong's mysterious confidence came from, but this didn't stop her from going crazy with Yang Chong. In Yan Lingji's opinion, what Yang Chong was doing now was what only a madman would do.

"Of course you are indispensable. As the family business grows, we naturally need some heirs. Otherwise, all our efforts would have been in vain." Looking at Yan Lingji who was serious, Yang Chong smiled.

"Heir?" Yan Lingji was slightly stunned and couldn't react for a moment, but Yang Chong's smile seemed to have bad intentions!

"Of course it's to have more children. Yan Lingji's contribution is indispensable for this." Yang Chong's eyes wandered over Yan Lingji's body. Although he was very familiar with her from top to bottom and inside and outside, he still felt amazed every time he looked at her. This was probably what a beauty was like.

When it comes to the visual impact on Yang Chong, Yan Lingji is the first.

"Let Zi Nu and Ni Shang try hard. I won't do it." Yan Lingji reacted and shook her head. Having a child was still too far away for her. You know, she was not very old, and she had been imprisoned for six or seven years. This experience was blank and almost wasted. So by this calculation, she was still very young now.

"That's right. If you are asked to teach a child, I'm afraid he will be led astray." Yang Chong pondered, seeming to be quite satisfied with Yan Lingji's reaction.

This time Yan Lingji refused to do it again. She could refuse to do it, but Yang Chong couldn't help thinking about it, otherwise what did he think of her? Especially Yang Chong's attitude at this time, it was like he looked down on her. How could he tolerate this?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I stupid? I don't believe it. If you don't let me, I will give birth to a child and teach him personally. Then I will let you see who is the fool." Yan Lingji jumped on Yang Chong in anger.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Lingji asked innocently, holding her waist with one hand to prevent her from falling down due to excessive excitement, but her eyes were full of the pleasure of success.

"Give birth to a baby." Looking down from above, Yan Lingji held down Yang Chong with one hand, looking as majestic as a great general.

"This is not good, in broad daylight." Yang Chong pretended to struggle.

"There's no one else here." Yan Lingji didn't care. She was already irritated by Yang Chong and she had to calm down.

"So you are actually this kind of Yan Lingji." Yang Chong said in shock.

"What's wrong with me?" Yan Lingji asked while pulling Yang Chong's belt.

"It turns out that Yan Lingji is so lustful and impatient." Yang Chong was as pure as an inexperienced boy at this moment.

"Ha..." Yan Lingji was so angry that she almost laughed. She sat on Yang Chong's abdomen and rubbed her butt downwards, transferring her anger to Yang Chong during the grinding. Then she laughed, "Who is the lecher now?"

"Of course it's us." Yang Chong laughed, his hand already climbing up.

"Well, I'm glad you know." Yan Lingji smiled, not as fierce as before, but more gentle.

Today is another beautiful day.

……

In the Zhao Palace, the former Queen of Zhao, now the Queen Mother of Zhao, is convening a small court meeting.

There were not many people in the hall, but all of them held important positions in the State of Zhao.

Chunping Jun Zhao Yi, Prime Minister Guo Kai, Dai Northern Army Commander Li Mu, General Pang Nuan, Handan Magistrate Zhao Cong, and Yang Chong and others.

"Now the Qin army has taken all the land west of Taihang Mountain and can break through Jingxing Pass to attack our hinterland at any time. From now on, the threat of Qin to our country does not lie in its ability to capture a few of our cities, but in the fact that they can bring the war to our hinterland at any time and destroy our production. If this goes on, our country may not be afraid on the battlefield, but we will not be able to hold on in terms of people's livelihood." Sitting behind King Qian of Zhao, the Queen Mother of Zhao talked freely about the situation facing the State of Zhao.

The clear voice of Queen Dowager Zhao echoed in the hall, surprising Zhao Yi, Guo Kai, Li Mu and others. How could the Queen Dowager, a woman like them, have such insight?

"The Queen Mother is very observant." Pang Nuan responded.

This old general, who had been active for fifty or sixty years, now had white hair and beard. The recent war had exhausted his last bit of energy and spirit. He now exuded the smell of decay from head to toe. He would not live long, and he knew it very well. So this was his last time to attend such a court meeting. However, he still needed to find a successor. The State of Zhao needed a general who could coordinate the overall situation.

"So we must break the impasse." Queen Mother Zhao took in everyone's reactions and was very satisfied. These things were certainly not something she could have thought of. She only knew how to intrigue and play palace fights, and had no idea about military and national affairs. However, although she didn't understand, the people around her did. These things were exactly what Yang Chong told her.

"If we want to break the impasse, we have to use offense as defense. However, with our current strength, we can still hold on to defense. If we attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it." Zhao Yi said.

In the war between Zhao and Qin, Zhao suffered more defeats than victories, but this was not because Zhao's army was inferior to Qin's. On the contrary, in a head-on confrontation, Zhao's army was never afraid of Qin's army. But in terms of overall national strength, Zhao was far inferior to Qin.
