Chapter 469: Admit Defeat

Huayang Palace.

In the harem courtyard, Queen Mother Huayang was cutting flowers and leaves in the garden and feeding the birds.

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen came to pay their respects, but there was no trace of joy on their faces.

"Why did you think of coming here to see me after being fooled?"

The Queen Mother of Huayang is getting older and her temples are turning gray. Over the years, she has been living in the harem and rarely shows up to participate in government affairs.

However, even so, her information was still well informed. He has not left the palace, but the affairs of the Qin State are rarely hidden from him.

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen thought that Zhao Shuang was young and had just accomplished great achievements, so he would definitely be arrogant. Therefore, a game was set up to let Zhao Shuang rush to the front.

Li Mu is difficult to deal with. No matter whether Zhao Shuang wins or loses, he will definitely be injured. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shuang was completely fooling them.

"The frontline was defeated, and our Chu clan suffered heavy losses. The Qin State values ​​military merit, and if we no longer have a place in the army, what will happen in the future? Queen Mother, you cannot sit idly by."

Chang Wenjun said a little anxiously.

"So you promised Zhao Shuang benefits, worked hard, and lost a lot of things, and you just expected him to come forward. But Zhao Shuang bit your bait, but he didn't take the bait. After a discussion at the court meeting, he instead argued with those kings The promoted generals are getting closer, leaving no room for you."

Seeing the Queen Mother Huayang with the old god there, Chang Wenjun spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"The Queen Mother, since you know everything, you can also think of a way for us. If this continues, we will all become outsiders."

Queen Mother Huayang stopped moving her hands, turned her head, and her eyes were so sharp that Chang Wenjun did not dare to look directly at her.

"I told you a long time ago not to fight with Zhao Shuang. Now, the battle has resulted in the entire army of 100,000 being annihilated. The property that we Chu people have built in Qin for generations has been lost to you all. You just remember now, Are you here to see me?"

Empress Dowager Huayang's words were sonorous and full of anger. Lord Changping and Lord Changwen were shocked. They knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

Time has passed, and now this old lady who is raising flowers and playing with birds in the garden is a ruthless character who has gone through several kings of Qin and has not failed despite the constant storms in the Qin Dynasty for decades.

"I'm waiting to be convicted!"

Queen Mother Huayang calmed down and suppressed the anger in her heart.

Lord Changping raised his head and cupped his hands.

"Now Zhao Shuang's troops are all over the army, and there are many talented people, but no one from our Chu family can use them. At this time of crisis, if the Queen Mother does not come forward, our Chu family will wither away, and it will not be far away."

Annex the six countries and unify the world.

In the Qin court, more and more people are aware of this trend. But there is no one in the Chu family and the Qin army who can use them, which means that this shocking battle has nothing to do with them.

Even if we start to retrain talents now, it is already too late for the army to be filled with nothing but qualifications and military exploits.

"Let me come forward?" Queen Mother Huayang shook her head, looking like you are not enlightened, "Do you want me to go to Zhao Shuang to ask him to restrain his subordinates and not to fight with you, or do you want me to go and beg you?" Your Majesty, please make room for your people?"

Lord Changping was startled and quickly lowered his head, only to hear Queen Mother Huayang sigh.

"If you lose, you have to admit it."

"Admit defeat?"

Lord Changping looked a little surprised, unable to understand the meaning of Queen Mother Huayang's words at all.

Queen Mother Huayang shook her head, turned around, and loosened the soil.

"In our Chu family, there are no talented people in the past few generations. We can't fight. Then you have to learn to retreat and wait. When Fusu grows up, wait for twenty years and cultivate deeply. Let this tree and this flower flourish again.”

Chang Pingjun had mixed emotions in his eyes, and there was some sadness in his voice.

"Kechen is not yet forty this year!"

Wait twenty years? Mr. Changping could not imagine how he would live such a life.

"Back then, Lu Buwei took charge of government affairs and I waited for ten years. But now, the Queen Mother wants me to wait for twenty years?"

"so what?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Queen Mother Huayang's voice, and more of a sadness.

"I understand!"

Mr. Changping's words were cold, as if he had lost business. With that said, he left here feeling a little dejected.

"Brother...the King and Queen Mother, I will take my leave now."

Changwenjun said goodbye and chased after Changpingjun.

Seeing that the person she had trained for many years, who she thought could be a leader in the Qin Dynasty, turned into what he is now, the Queen Mother Huayang was also filled with sadness.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

In front of Zhao Shuang, Han Fei's face showed anger. This was the first time Zhao Shuang saw Han Fei like this.

"But for South Korea?"

"The king of Zhao sent an envoy to Han to tell how the Zhao army defeated the Qin army in the fertile land and how miserable the Qin army was. He wanted to re-align with Han to fight against Qin. My father, the king, did not know the situation and was confused by it. Could it be that you Don’t you know yet?”

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"Then did you persuade me?"

"Persuaded."

"Did King Han listen?"

Han Fei was silent, but Zhao Shuang smiled.

"He doesn't even listen to you as his son. How do you expect him to listen to me?"

Han Fei, who was full of anger, vented all his anger at this moment. He sat in front of Zhao Shuang, picked up the wine glass, and started drinking.

"Wei Zhuang's attitude is ambiguous in this matter. What is he doing? Can your Majesty give me an answer?"

"I don't know either."

Han Fei stopped drinking in his hand and looked at Zhao Shuang. His intuition told him that Zhao Shuang was not perfunctory.

As the moonlight passed by, Han Fei lowered his head, approached Zhao Shuang, and spoke softly.

"Could it be that your Majesty wants to have a glimpse of Jiuding?"

As soon as Han Fei said this, Zhao Shuang broke into a cold sweat.

"Why do you think so?"

"One hundred thousand of the elite troops of the Qin army were lost on the front line, and the remaining warriors of the Qin Dynasty are now under the command of the king. At this time, you are in the court again, saying that the new army should be in the front, and South Korea's attitude is ambiguous , once the Qin army is defeated again..."

After listening to Han Fei's words, Zhao Shuang suddenly became sober. While frightened, he suddenly thought of something.

Azhuang, are you...

In the dark room, only a little moonlight came through.

After returning from Huayang Palace, Lord Changping stayed alone in the house without saying a word. The sun sets and the moon rises, but not a drop of water comes in.

Now, he had two choices before him.

Queen Mother Huayang's teachings are ringing in her ears, but Lord Changping still can't make up his mind.

This is twenty years of time!

Changping Jun kept thinking about the ten years he was suppressed by Lu Buwei, and also recalled the glorious days when he overthrew Lu Buwei and became the prime minister...

Time passed. I don’t know how much time passed. Changping Jun clenched his hands and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having made up his mind, his eyes were extremely firm.

"No, I can't admit it, and I can't wait."
