Chapter 445 Gift

Xianyang.

The spring breeze is like a bath, and the water is on the shore.

Han Yangjun's mansion was built on the bank of the swamp, and many people gathered at this time.

These people either wanted to give face to Zhao Shuang or to the old queen mother, so they all gathered in the mansion to participate in the crowning ceremony.

No matter how much turmoil there is in private between the two major forces, the family and the foreign relatives, they are all smiling on the surface.

The hair is tied and crowned, which represents the man's adulthood. The crowning ceremony is also the most important etiquette.

Even the two brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun are here.

However, Chang Wenjun kept a sullen face, a little confused, why his brother Changping Jun, who was smiling, was in such high spirits today?

"Brother, I didn't want to come, but you dragged me here."

"This is organized by the old lady. What would it be like if you and I didn't come?"

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen stood in a corner, waiting.

The Queen Mother Huayang wanted to maintain the internal stability of the Qin State, especially the balance between her relatives and the family. But no matter what, in the Qin State without Lu Buwei, the two can no longer form an alliance as before. Among the clans, the group of forces headed by Zhao Shuang is a serious problem in the heart of Lord Changping, and is also what he considers to be the most powerful enemy in Qin in the future.

Lord Changwen knew this, but he really didn't understand that Lord Changping wouldn't be so interested even if he wanted to deal with the old lady.

Unable to figure it out, Chang Wenjun simply changed the topic while waiting.

"How is Fan Yuqi's place?"

"Now most of the military rations within the Qin State have been sent to the front line."

Chang Wenjun was a little surprised. What happened to his brother? He was always a little absent-minded today and answered questions incorrectly.

"I'm asking how the war is going?"

Lord Changping seemed to have just come back to his senses and glanced at Lord Changwen.

"We have fought several battles with the forwards of the Zhao army. As expected, although the Zhao army's combat power is not weak, it is still inferior to the Qin army. Especially after the last attack on Zhao, the Zhao army was heavily The army has been reorganized, but its combat effectiveness has not been completely restored."

"Soldiers are a matter of life and death. Fan Yuqi leads an army of 100,000, and our Chu clique has all the strength in the army, so we have to be careful."

Chang Wenjun reminded.

"I see!"

Changping Jun glanced at the missing plate aside and saw that the time was almost up. Just after a ball fell, Zhao Shuang's figure walked in from outside.

Zhao Shuang is dressed in a formal dress, with a strong figure and a handsome face.

When Lord Changping saw this, he was suddenly startled. For too much time, Changping Jun ignored the fact that the leader of the family in front of him, who he regarded as the enemy of the Chu family, was a man who was more than ten years younger than himself and had just reached his prime.

Lord Changping is in his prime, and he has a great responsibility to make achievements in the land of Qin. After expelling Lu Buwei, Lord Changping took over the phase and reached the top.

But he was not satisfied with this. Like Lu Buwei, Lord Changping actually had the desire to assist the king in unifying the world. Because we have come this far, there is only this ambitious goal to go forward.

Lord Changping thought he had an advantage. He was the prime minister of Qin, the son of Chu, and the elder brother of the current King of Chu.

In the future, Zhao Shuang will be a threat for the foreseeable future.

It belongs to him and to Master Fusu.

Changping Jun saw Zhao Shuang walking into the room and glanced at him. The look was very indifferent, without even much emotion. Lord Changping saw this and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Da Zongzheng!"

"Hanyang Jun!"

Da Zongzheng was in charge of the Qin clan, he was highly virtuous and respected, and was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei. He was also the elder who presided over this crowning ceremony.

Da Zongzheng's smile was very gentle, and there was a bit of expectation in his eyes.

The entire ceremony began with the emcee giving a loud congratulation amidst the sounds of ritual music.

"On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add Yuanfu; abandon your young ambitions, follow them and become virtuous; live long, but be Qi, and introduce you to Jingfu."

"The auspicious month and the day of the month are for your obedience; respect for your majesty and dignity, Shushen's virtue; and your eyebrows will live for thousands of years and you will be blessed forever."

…

First, he is given a cloth crown, then he is given a leather crown, and then he is awarded a royal crown.

On the ceremonial stage, as the ceremony progressed, the entire mansion was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Just when the ceremony was about to be completed and the hosta was inserted into the bun, Zhao Shuang turned around and saw some disturbance in the queue outside the house. Bai Lu was originally guarding, but now she ran under the eaves.

Zhao Shuang's expression changed and he waved his sleeves.

"What's the matter?"

Bai Lu trotted in from outside the house and bowed her hands. Even if he doesn't want to, Zhao Shuang has ordered that once there is any news from Yuezhi, he will report it as soon as possible. Bai Lu originally wanted to wait for the ceremony to end before reporting, but Zhao Shuang had already discovered it.

"Your Majesty, the Yuezhi's caravan has turned back, and the messenger hastened to bring news."

"Let him in!"

"This this…"

Bai Lu was hesitant and seemed reluctant. When everyone saw it, they were very surprised. Only Mr. Changping showed his usual expression.

"Go quickly!"

Everyone soon understood why Bai Lu behaved so abnormally.

This messenger's armor was incomplete and his clothes were even stained with blood. He was indeed not suitable for such an occasion.

"Report it truthfully."

"Your Majesty, the Yueshi are in turmoil. The traitor Barrett attacked and killed the crown prince and seized the royal city. Our caravans were all robbed by the Yueshi rebels."

When everyone was talking and many members of the family showed anxious expressions, Zhao Shuang asked.

"Are all the guards safe?"

"Your Majesty, most of them escaped, but all the goods were lost."

"Everyone in the army is here, so I feel at ease. I came all the way to report the news. It's hard work, so go down and rest first!"

Losing so much goods was a serious crime, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shuang was most concerned about his subordinates. For a moment, the messenger's eyes were rosy.

"promise!"

For a moment, everyone present who did not know the inside story was convinced. Only Lord Changping was observing all this with cold eyes.

The crowning ceremony is over.

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were sitting in the carriage, planning to return home.

Along the way, Mr. Changping always looked enigmatic and silent.

But Chang Wenjun couldn't help but smile. Now, he finally understood what Lord Changping meant during the day when he said, "Now most of the military rations in the Qin State have been sent to the front line."

Chang Wenjun did not ask about the cause and effect.

"Brother, it seems that Zhao Shuang will have to suffer the consequences of being dumb this time."

Lord Changping smiled coldly.

"Nowadays, most of Qin's food and grass are concentrated on the eastern front. Even if Zhao Shuang wants to lead his army to the west, he has no capital. Either he will suffer this loss, or he will take tens of thousands of people to Longxi to see What else can you get?"

"Even if he is willing to suffer this big loss, the descendants of the family who follow him will definitely be separated from each other. Without any effort on our part, Zhao Shuang's power will be greatly damaged."

Listening to Changwenjun's words, Changpingjun's eyes became more and more distant, and he sighed.

"Zhao Shuang, this is the biggest gift I gave you during your crowning ceremony."
