In fact, even Zhao Mu himself did not expect King Zhuang Xiang to let him enter the Crown Prince's Residence.
The current Crown Prince was the future Emperor Ying Zheng.
By following Ying Zheng, not to mention titles and contributions, he would definitely be able to gain a lot from the four-dimensional attributes.
After all, that was the war that unified the six countries. There were countless experts and generals. Those were all attribute points. Even Zhao Mu himself did not know what level he could increase to.
At that time, he would probably be called inhuman.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Mu bowed and thanked him.
Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Mu differently.
As for Wang He, a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes.
All of the officials present understood that from today onwards, a famous person would rise up in the Great Qin Imperial Court.
After the rewards for this battle ended, King Zhuang Xiang waved his hand tiredly, indicating that the court session was dismissed.
However, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian were left behind.
This made many officials feel that something was not right.
That was because King Zhuang Xiang's body could not take it.
In the huge Zhangtai Palace, other than the palace guards, maids, and eunuchs, King Zhuang Xiang only had Meng Tian and Zhao Mu by his side.
Even the powerful Lu Buwei wasn't here.
King Zhuang Xiang was wearing a large robe and looked very weak.
However, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"Zhao Mu, Meng Tian, both of you are outstanding figures among the younger generation of Generals in Great Qin, especially Zhao Mu. You came from an ordinary background, but you managed to reach your current level.”
Zhao Mu hurriedly said he didn't dare.
"The king and the prime minister are legends."
King Zhuang Xiang knew that Zhao Mu was talking about him and Lu Buwei becoming the King of Qin from the State of Zhao.
Zhao Mu's humble attitude made King Zhuang Xiang value him even more.
King Zhuang Xiang let the two of them sit down in the garden pavilion. This was a great gift.
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian both sensed the meaning behind this.
"I don't have much time left," said King Zhuang Xiang.”
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian were about to speak when Prince Zhuang Xiang raised his hand to stop them.
"I know what you want to say. Don't say those words of great fortune. I know my body best. The Crown Prince was still young. Once he succeeded to the throne, he would definitely not be able to stabilize the court.
I will take control of the court as prime minister, but I don't know how things will develop after that.”
At this point, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian understood what King Zhuang Xiang meant. It was obvious that he was worried that Lu Buwei would have other thoughts in the future.
That was why he had called Zhao Mu and Meng Tian over. He hoped that Zhao Mu and Meng Tian could become Ying Zheng's trusted aides, so that they could suppress Lu Buwei in the future.
"I understand!"
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian bowed and replied.
King Zhuang Xiang looked at Zhao Mu and Meng Tian as if they were children who could be taught. They were indeed the people he had chosen. They were smart and quick-witted.
"Accompany me for a meal today. Afterwards, both of you will make a trip to the Crown Prince's residence to meet the Crown Prince.”
"Yes!"
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian accompanied King Zhuang Xiang to eat.
At the same time, this news quickly spread. This was naturally the intention of King Zhuang Xiang.
Many ministers realized that King Zhuang Xiang was trying to build up momentum for Zhao Mu and Meng Tian, letting everyone know that Zhao Mu and Meng Tian were people that King Zhuang Xiang supported.
After the meal, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian left Zhangtai Palace and arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.
To their surprise, Crown Prince Ying Zheng was already waiting for them at the entrance of the mansion.
Beside Ying Zheng stood a red-haired eunuch and six guards.
"Minister Zhao Mu (Meng Tian) greets the Crown Prince!”
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian said in unison.
However, before they could bow, Ying Zheng had already grabbed their arms. Although Ying Zheng was still young, his bearing as an emperor was already evident.
He smiled and said,"The two of you are my future subjects, so there's no need for these formalities."”
Such straightforward words instantly closed the distance between Ying Zheng, Zhao Mu, and Meng Tian. Meng Tian was so touched that her eyes were moist.
Zhao Mu didn't have much of a feeling. He, who came from the future, believed in that saying more: The monarch does not disappoint his courtiers, and the courtiers do not disappoint the monarch.
Ying Zheng personally led Zhao Mu and Meng Tian into the Crown Prince's Residence. The banquet had already been prepared.
Ying Zheng accompanied him personally.
The banquet was filled with joy.
Ying Zheng was indeed worthy of being the future emperor. Although he was young, he already had his own views on many things.
Zhao Mu and Meng Tian were also full of ink and were not idiots.
As for Ying Zheng's many ideas, they were also exchanged and verified one by one.
Ying Zheng was delighted. The two young subjects that his father had found for him were both extraordinarily talented.
They would be of great help to him in controlling the government in the future. Moreover, these two people were from the military.
Ying Zheng also understood what King Zhuang Xiang meant. If he wanted to control the government, he had to first control the army.
That night, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian did not return to the residence. Instead, they chatted with the Crown Prince for the entire night.
He only returned to his residence the next day.
In front of the Zhao Residence, Zhao Mu and Meng Tian bade farewell.
He returned to the mansion. Gongshu Chou was not here. He had gone to the mansion outside Xianyang to study various mechanisms and items.
Zhao Mu closed the door. After taking a shower, he stood in the corridor in a plain white robe with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
The Qin army had just been defeated by Lord Xinling, so there would not be any war for the time being.
He had already told King Zhuang Xiang and the Crown Prince that he was going back to Shu.
As for King Zhuang Xiang's intention, it was also in line with Zhao Mu's plan. Currently, his title was one of the Five Great Officers, and he would be promoted again in the future. He would definitely have to go to war. Ying Zheng, who was determined to unify the six states, was naturally the best monarch for him.
However, it was also extremely dangerous to deal with Lu Buwei.
After all, that was Lu Buwei.
A businessman who single-handedly turned a hostage into the king of Qin.
His wisdom was so high that even Zhao Mu did not dare to say that he could surpass Lu Buwei.
Of course, it would be great if he could kill Lu Buwei with a single strike. That would be easy for Zhao Mu, but it was obviously impossible.
To Zhao Mu, collecting all these complicated thoughts into the bottom of his heart…
The most important thing now was to go back and marry Xiaotong.
