   Chapter 77 Authority

   Back in the city, Zhao Huaizhong's frame passed the Xuangu Academy and sent Mu Yangjing back to Huacaoju.

   Getting off the car, Mu Yangjing looked back at the convoy and sighed softly.

  Jiang Liang returned to the ancestral land of Shennong to visit relatives two weeks ago, and was not in Huacaoju, so the maid Zhuxi also went with him.

   There are only three or five servants in the house, and when a few people go out, they are responsible for taking care of the grass and trees in the garden.

   Mu Yangjing returned to his room, took off his shirt, revealing the white shirt inside, took out an ancient book, leaned on the low seat, and flipped through it.

   After a while, she put the ancient book on the table, turned her eyes to the prosperous vegetation outside the window, rested her cheeks with one hand, and began to be in a daze, full of thoughts.

   Zhao Huaizhong returned to Xianyang at noon, so he went to Ye Yufu first.

   Return to Xianyang Palace in the afternoon, and discuss with King Zhuangxiang about the construction progress of Zhengguo Canal.

   In the past year, in order to handle things conveniently, he mostly lived in the Prince’s Mansion outside Xianyang Palace.

   After half an hour, it will rise early next month.

   Zhao Huaizhong dressed in civilian clothes, surrounded by Xin Wu and other guards and Liu Qi, came to the street.

   There is also a man with red lips and white teeth beside him, dressed in men's clothing, but everyone can see at a glance that it is a woman. It is the dancer Yan Huansha, who used to be famous in Qi and beautiful.

   She was wearing a light lead-blue dark coat with a smooth brocade-like surface, but her face was a bit whiter than the white lining exposed at the neckline, and she walked beside Zhao Huaizhong.

   The group soon joined Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi and others.

  The people had made an appointment to meet before, have dinner together, and have something to discuss.

   Today, on the streets of Xianyang, you can see sugar rolls, snacks and other things, as well as high-hanging lanterns.

   Zhao Huaizhong has been in Xianyang for two and a half years. The national power of Qin is growing, and Xianyang is becoming more and more prosperous.

  In this era, except for the seafood market, few people actually walked around at night, but after nightfall in Xianyang, there were many pedestrians.

   Zhao Huai and others walked to a long street and entered a large food shop, ready to solve dinner.

   This restaurant is semi-official.

   Zhao Huaizhong has been working hard in the past two years, and he has high requirements for daily life in his spare time.

  Clothing, food, housing, and transportation, people do what they want, and they cannot live without these things.

  Zhao Huaizhong will describe some of the foods that he was familiar with before crossing the road, which will be studied and copied by the people below.

   After more than a year, I have made dumplings and other foods in addition to hot pot and barbecue.

  This restaurant in the busy city was opened by people who were rescued by the grace of the overnight imperial palace.

  The food in the store is all made according to the recipes provided by Zhao Huaizhong, and 70% of the monthly profit is linked to the name of Ye Yufu's Ministry of Manufacturing.

   At this time, Zhao Huai and others came in casual clothes.

  The running hall in the store welcomes everyone to the backyard, and prepares a separate room. The environment is spacious and quiet, but you can feel the liveliness of the street not far away.

   Outside the window is a peach tree that has just sprouted in spring.

  In the room, Wei Yang and Zhong Changzai, the guests of the prime minister's government, came one step ahead and were waiting.

   Seeing Zhao Huaizhong, the two hurriedly stood up to greet him.

   "You don't need to be polite when you are outside, just sit down." Zhao Huaizhong said.

   Everyone took their seats one by one, each in a low seat.

  Yan Huansha knelt beside Zhao Huaizhong and served eagerly.

   The banquet was roast duck.

   Chickens, ducks and geese have been popularized in China during the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are the three most common poultry.

   It’s just that the roast duck method described in Zhao Huaizhong must surpass this era and imitate the practice of later generations.

  After the banquet, the roast duck with hot oil was served, and the aroma was fragrant.

Liu Qi had tested the food beforehand and there was no problem, but Yan Huansha went to clean her hands and came back to help Zhao Huaizhong roll the duck cake, the brown duck meat, overflowing with oil, served with thin white and thin noodles, cooked with hot scallion, Then add the sauce made with natural sugar.

   Yan Huansha was very carefully wrapped, and her pretty face, so delicate that she could not see any flaws, had a focused expression.

  From Zhao Huaizhong's position, she can see her plump curves as she leaned over to wrap the duck pancakes, which is extraordinarily attractive.

   At this time, Zhao Huaizhong was in the first place on the left, and Wang Ben said:

   "Your Majesty, now that the Wei people and the Chu people are jointly attacking, should I, Da Qin, take the opportunity to make a move? We just need to recruit 20,000 elites to attack Da Wei by surprise, and we can occupy at least three or four counties."

  A little more than a year ago, when the Six Nations went to Xianyang as an envoy, they learned that Daqin accepted the plan of the Han people and decided to build a water conservancy, and they all returned happy.

  The rare and belligerent Qin people worked hard to repair the Zhengguo Canal, and the other six countries lacked the threat of the Qin people, but they have become uneasy this year, and each other has attacked each other.

   In the history of China, during the ten years when the Qin people built the Zhengguo Canal, the Six Kingdoms were also in constant friction and were keen to tear each other apart.

   And after Zhao Huaizhong returned to Qin, his authority increased day by day.

   In the past, only Lu Buwei could influence King Zhuangxiang's decision-making, and only Zhao Ji in the back. Now King Zhuangxiang trusts and relies on his son.

   In the past year, Lu Buwei, Wang Jian and others would communicate with Zhao Huaizhong in advance and reach a consensus on major matters.

   Zhao Huaizhong is gradually approaching the center of power in Daqin, and the people around him already possess powerful political power, which can be called the line of princes and the so-called line of the Eastern Palace in later generations.

  Wang Ben's inquiry, behind his father Wang Jian, also represented the intention of some Qin army generals.

   Zhao Huaizhong thought for a while, and said, "It's not a wise move to participate in the chaos of the Six Nations at this time. It will only make them feel wary and fearful of my Daqin. It's better to sit back and watch."

   Wei Yang and Zhong Chang were there, Wang Ben and others nodded in agreement, and immediately stopped asking this question.

   Zhao Huaizhong's words mean the final decision.

  The people also talked about some problems in the world today and within the Qin people.

   After drinking and eating, the group came out of the food shop and walked along the streets of Xianyang at will, chatting while walking, but the topic turned to the romantic situation, which was quite relaxed.

   Suddenly I heard the sound of horses walking in the block ahead, and the sound of horse hooves falling on the street at night was deafening.

   In the blink of an eye, several children of the Qin clan, who were beautifully dressed, passed by on horseback in front of the long street.

Those few people also saw Zhao Huaizhong and his party. Originally, they looked arrogant. They stood high on horseback in the street and looked down at everyone. However, the moment they saw Zhao Huaizhong, the team of seven or eight people seemed to be rehearsing, and their faces were pale. .

   Several people clearly knew Zhao Huaizhong, and quickly got off the horse and led the horse away.

   Two years ago, Ye Yufu uprooted the Food Sect. At that time, he knew that the Food Sect had connections with some powerful people in Xianyang City.

  Because of the situation, we did not immediately purge the noble forces in Xianyang.

   But in the following two years, with the support of Zhao Huaizhong, Ye Yufu has carried out rectification of many noble families in Xianyang City.

  Especially in the last year, a series of royal family members have been arrested by Ye Yufu, and there are not a few people who have committed serious crimes and have been killed.

   Zhao Huaizhong's 'notoriety' can stop the stupid sons of the landlord's family from crying at night in Xianyang.

   The children of the clan who were riding on horseback just now never expected that they would suddenly encounter Zhao Huaizhong at night.

   I felt very bald, almost scared my heart stopped, and led the horse out a long way, still bloodless.

   Zhao Huai and others here are all smiling.

   "Except for official business, you are not allowed to ride horses in the city. These people are riding in the downtown area. They can be exempted from the death penalty, but they cannot be left unchecked. Xin Wu, you order the mansion to let them come to the door to take people and punish them severely." Zhao Huaizhong said.

   "No!"

   As the night got darker, the group separated and went back to their respective homes.

  The Crown Prince's Mansion.

After    Yan Huansha came back, she went to prepare the bathing needs, and then went to the bed to make up the quilt. From behind, she was quite round and round, with a graceful figure…

   Zhao Huaizhong smiled and said, "Remember to put three sleeping pillows on the couch."

  Yan Huansha was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Zhao Huaizhong meant. Her face was flushed, but she was overjoyed and looked pretty as if you were picking it up.

   "Sleeping with me, so happy?" Zhao Huai teased.

   "Yeah." Yan Huansha nodded shyly, and said strangely, "Even if you sleep with the prince, there are only two people, why should you put three pillows?"

   Zhao Huaizhong: "I like to sleep higher."

   Yan Huansha believed it naively, and obediently put two pillows in Zhao Huaizhong's place.

   After half an hour, she learned new knowledge and knew the use of the third pillow.

   It won't be written as a stallion, but the king of a country will not have only one woman, not to mention the art of human relations, it can't be practiced in vain...

   Ask for a ticket
