When the Western and White Clans came to her for help, Tang Qiao's first reaction was:
He could agree to this!
He didn't consider whether he could do what the Western and White Races wanted.
He had also heard about the situation of the two clans.
Didn't he just provoke the little brat that his Imperial Father left outside and made his Imperial Father unhappy, which was why he punished him?
This matter could be big or small.
Based on Tang Qiao's understanding of Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng's actions were most likely to scare the Western and White Races.
He couldn't really kill all those people at once, right?
With his mother's reputation in his father's eyes, resolving this matter would most likely only be a matter of mention.
However, if he could befriend the Western and White Clans because of this, the benefits would be even greater.
The Meng, Xi, and Bai Clans had been weakened over the past few hundred years.
As a result, until now, his reputation did not seem to be prominent.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
The Meng, Xi, and Bai clans had been in Guanzhong for more than 400 years and were deeply rooted.
In terms of foundation, few meritorious officials can compare with him.
If he could win their support, his chances of winning the position of Crown Prince would increase by at least 20%.
Thinking of this, Tang Qiao's face revealed a warm smile.
"I've heard about the current situation of the Western and White Clans. Are the three of you here for this matter?”
Bai Chen revealed an ashamed expression and said," Our two clans didn't do things properly. The original intention of attacking the World Bookstore was to protect himself, but he did not expect to offend the Little Lord because of it. He really deserved it.”
"However, Shen believes that Meng, Xi, and Bai have contributed greatly to Great Qin. We can't die just because of this!”
Tang Qiao laughed out loud and said," Mister Bai Chen's words are too serious. In the end, it's just playing around between children. How can Imperial Father be heavy-handed?”
Indeed, Tang Qiao did not take this matter seriously.
Zhao Yan's appearance made these young masters feel uncomfortable.
It wasn't because he had another brother, but because Brother Zheng doted on Zhao Yan.
They had grown up with their father since they were young.
The other brothers, including Fu Su, had never been treated like this by Brother Zheng.
It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous.
Not to mention, it was said that the so-called Little Lord was only a three-year-old brat.
His father was the First Emperor. He couldn't control himself when he was out on patrol, so it was normal for him to show mercy outside.
But why was a young master who grew up among the common people more favored than them?
Tang Qiao was extremely unconvinced. He believed that he was not the only one who felt this way.
Therefore, he agreed readily.
"I'll talk to Consort Mother later and let her speak to Imperial Father. There won't be any problems with this matter.”
Speaking up to this point, Tang Qiao's face revealed a proud expression.
Others might not know, but how could he not know?
Recently, Brother Zheng had been resting in his mother's bedroom almost every day.
What did this mean?
There were so many concubines in the harem, but Brother Zheng doted on Wang Zhi alone!
It was also because of this matter that Tang Qiao was so arrogant.
Wang Zhi told him that she wanted to be the empress, and Tang Qiao felt that this matter could really be done!
After discussing these matters, Tang Qiao continued to speak.
"My residence is very lively today. Since the three of you are here, please take a seat!”
The few of them stood up and went to another hall.
There were already more than ten potbellied people seated inside.
Bai Chen swept a glance and was well aware.
As expected, these people were all officials who were on good terms with Young Master Huhai.
The meal lasted until late at night before they left.
After sending off the guests, Tang Qiao summoned a carriage and hurried towards Wang Wan's residence.
Arriving at Wang Wan's residence, Tang Qiao was familiar with the way and went all the way to Wang Wan's study.
After entering the door, he saw Wang Wan, who had a gray beard and hair, sitting in the study.
Seeing Tang Qiao enter, Wang Wan could not help but frown.
"Why are you here?"
Wang Wan was very dissatisfied with Tang Qiao's late night visit.
"Your mother is in a critical period now, but you're running around. You're really too careless.”
Tang Qiao was a little disapproving.
This grandpa of his was good in everything, but he was too cautious in his actions.
Speaking of which, Wang Wan didn't seem to have any voice in the court.
However, to be able to become the Right Prime Minister and suppress Li Si in terms of official positions meant that this person was definitely not a good person.
After Great Qin swept through the Six Directions, Brother Zheng had relied heavily on Li Si and listened to Li Si's opinions on many things.
Wang Wan, who had the intention to propose the enfeoffment system, seemed to have received the cold shoulder from Brother Zheng.
However, after more than ten years, people were surprised to find that Wang Wan was as stable as Mount Tai in the position of the Right Prime Minister.
It had to be said that this guy really had some skills.
Speaking of Wang Wan's way of being an official, it could be generally summarized with the word 'stable'.
He also had his own political ideas, but he was not persistent.
For example, he also suggested that Big Brother Zheng give Great Qin's border regions to the various Young Lords.
However, he wasn't as stubborn as Chunyu Yue. After Brother Zheng denied his opinion, he kept quiet and didn't say anything else.
Because Wang Wan knew in her heart that Brother Zheng was a person who remembered old relationships.
As long as he did not make any mistakes, no one could shake his position.
However, Wang Wan was already over seventy years old.
He knew that he didn't have many days left to live. After a stable life, it was time for him to calm down.
Wang Wan felt that his life had been worth it. Now, what he was most worried about were his sons and his clan in Langya.
The Langya Wang family was originally a small family with no reputation. It was only because of Wang Wan that they managed to jump into the ranks of nobility.
But looking at the younger generation of the Wang family, none of them were successful.
Thus, Wang Wan had no choice but to think of other ways.
After thinking about it, he could only count on his niece, Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi was Brother Zheng's concubine. Not long after she entered the palace, she was named a beauty by Brother Zheng.
Now, among the many women in the harem, she was the most doted on by Brother Zheng.
Some time ago, Wang Zhi came to her door and said that she was interested in the position of the head of the harem, hoping that Wang Wan could help her.
If it was in the past, Wang Wan would definitely reject Wang Zhi's request without thinking.
For so many years, Brother Zheng had never made an heir. This showed his attitude.
Now that Brother Zheng was nearly fifty years old, the matter of establishing an empress was definitely getting more and more uncertain.
Even if he was to appoint an empress, it was probably to prepare for the heir apparent.
Under such a background, no matter how much Brother Zheng doted on Wang Zhi, it was probably impossible for her to become the empress.
Not to mention anything else, just her good-for-nothing son had blocked this possibility.
However, the recent events had changed the situation.
It was unknown what Young Master Huhai had done in the sand dune, but he had died there.
Among the young masters, Fusu was the only one who was the most powerful.
Wang Wan had been in the court for a lifetime and naturally knew that Brother Zheng would never allow such a situation to happen.
Later on, Huhai's men defected to Tang Qiao, but Brother Zheng turned a blind eye and pretended that nothing had happened.
In addition, he had been thinking about paving the way for the Wang Consortium during this period of time.
After some consideration, Wang Wan realized that Wang Zhi's idea might actually work.
Therefore, he agreed.
Tang Qiao said indifferently," Grandpa is too cautious. As a junior, I am here to visit Grandpa. Who would dare to gossip?"”
"Today, the people of the Western and White Clans came to me and asked my mother to make peace with them and ask my father to let them go.”
"You agree?" Wang Wan glanced at Tang Qiao.
Tang Qiao nodded." No matter how much Imperial Father favors that bastard, it's impossible for him to really anger most of the nobles in Guanzhong." Perhaps my father is waiting for someone to make peace with him, and my mother is suitable for this.”
"The Meng, Xi, and Bai clans are now weak, but their foundations are still there." Wang Wan snorted coldly. You're right about this. You can give it a try.”
In the eyes of Wang Wan and the others, who had achieved high positions in the imperial court through their contributions, Meng Xibai and the other old dignitaries were indeed unpresentable.
These noble families had long been rotten, and no matter if it was their vision or structure, they were despised.
For example, the matter with the World Bookstore.
Why didn't Wang Wan, Li Si, and the others make a move?
It wasn't because they didn't care about the books being leaked out, which gave the scholars a chance to advance.
It was because they had the confidence that their juniors would not be weaker than ordinary scholars in the competition.
As a noble, if they didn't even have this bit of confidence and instead thought about how to use underhanded methods to trip others up every day, then their achievements could be imagined.
However, it was one thing to look down on him.
Wang Wan had to admit that Meng Xibai, who had been a noble for a long time, was still very powerful in Guanzhong.
If he used it well, it might be a great help.
Tang Qiao smiled." I think it's necessary to mention this matter to Grandfather so as not to ruin his other plans."”
"You've made some progress since you have such concerns." Wang Wan nodded. The matter between the Western and White Clans doesn't affect anything. You can go and tell your mother.”
……
When Tang Qiao and Wang Wan met late at night.
In the Imperial Palace, Zhao Yan was lying on a large and soft bed in his own bedroom. He was holding a bottle of Fat Otaku Happy Drink and gulping it down.
Today, Zhao Yan had put in a lot of effort, and he had obtained quite a lot of things from the group of maids and servants.
This wave had greatly replenished his stock of Fat Otaku Happy Potions, Spicy Strips, and other items that he had long run out of.
In addition, there were also some small items that spawned sporadically.
There were also many high-quality slingshots and glass beads.
The leather bag that had been drying up after coming to Xianyang started to bulge again.
"However, my palace is only so big, and the number of servants is limited. The rewards will definitely be less and less. From tomorrow onwards, expand the scope?”
Zhao Yan rubbed his chin and muttered.
The night was silent.
Early the next morning, after eating, Zhao Yan swaggered out of his courtyard.
Xu Liang led a dozen or so servants and followed closely behind Zhao Yan.
These people all had helpless expressions on their faces.
Although they had only been together for a day, they already had a sufficient understanding of their little master.
This guy could simply be said to be a little demon king.
He wrote a letter to catch birds, went up to the roof to remove the tiles, played with water and fire…
In any case, Zhao Yan would do whatever they could think of.
Moreover, he did it very professionally, causing the hearts of the servants who were watching from the side to tremble.
It was only because Brother Zheng had said it first. Otherwise, he would not be able to continue serving Zhao Yan!
Zhao Yan ignored Xu Liang and the others.
At this moment, there was a five-colored pinwheel on his back that was rewarded by the system yesterday.
When he ran with his two short legs, the windmill would turn. It was very beautiful.
The Xianyang Palace was simply too big. Even if it was just a harem, it was enough for Zhao Yan to have his fun.
His physical strength was also far beyond ordinary people. After running for a while, Xu Liang and the others were left far behind and disappeared without a trace.
Although Zhao Yan had stayed in the palace for a period of time after blowing up his own mansion while experimenting with explosives, he was still able to stay in the palace for a while.
However, at that time, he was basically by Brother Zheng's side and did not take a good look around the palace.
After running around today, she realized that Brother Zheng's palace was really big.
There were fake mountains and man-made lakes in between the various pavilions, and the scenery was beautiful.
Compared to these palaces, the film and television bases and large parks in the future were simply weak.
Zhao Yan thought that he had a good sense of direction. As he walked around, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Xu Liang and the others were not by his side, and it was still early. Zhao Yan was too lazy to ask for directions.
Besides, he came out today to cause trouble. Why would he go back?
Unknowingly, he walked to another palace wall.
The cries of animals could be heard coming from the palace walls.
Hearing these voices, Zhao Yan's interest was piqued.
Could this be the zoo in the palace?
He raised his head and saw a plaque hanging on the palace wall. On it were three big words,"High Spring Palace".
Zhao Yan excitedly bought a pair of short legs and walked into the arch under the plaque.
As soon as he entered, he saw a small mountain covered in green.
At the foot of the mountain was a large weeping willow forest.
In this picturesque scenery, a few palaces were faintly discernible.
Good place!
Zhao Yan ran straight toward the small mountain.
Before he even got close, he heard the sound of a chicken crowing.
Zhao Yan looked up and saw a colorful chicken flapping its wings and jumping in the forest.
Pheasant?
Zhao Yan's eyes widened immediately!
The pheasant in front of him had a red head and a black and white ring on its neck. Its body was gray and white, and its three tails were red, yellow, and green. It looked extremely strange.
Moreover, ordinary pheasants would only weigh four to five catties at most.
However, this pheasant's stomach was round and its legs were very thick.
Zhao Yan roughly estimated that this guy was at least ten pounds!
"I wonder how the pheasant will taste like…"
Zhao Yan almost drooled.
