Having received the letter from King Wen, Duan Jiang knew without looking what it contained.
must be the thing Zhao Xuanji least wants to see.
He nodded and said, “Wen Wang, rest assured, I will send someone to deliver this letter personally to Zhao Xuanji as quickly as possible.”
......
From Jinling to the capital, the journey is about eight hundred li.
At breakneck speed, regardless of everything else, the letter could be delivered in a day or two.
So soon, Zhao Xuanji received the letter.
He finished reading the letter's contents and expressionlessly burned it.
At this moment, Zhao Tai came over to pay him respects.
"Dad."
Zhaotai came before Zhao Xuanji and said cautiously, “Father, you don't look well. Is something the matter”
Although Zhao Tailai didn't understand politics, he only knew he was Zhao Xuanji's son. In the Qin Empire, he walked around with impunity, and no one dared to provoke him. However, he had ears and eyes, and could hear and see the recent turmoil in the political situation. His father wasn't just shutting himself in his study, but constantly meeting with various people, as if preparing for something big.
Regardless, it's rare to see him with such a serious expression as he has now.
Zhao Xuanji looked at Zhao Tailai and said, “You also know you care about your father”
Zhao Tailai was a little embarrassed and was about to speak, but Zhao Xuanji continued, “A few days ago, you said you wanted to buy a pleasure boat. You gave me the reason that it would cultivate your temperament and allow you to go on a boat with a few close friends to write poetry, enjoy the mountains and rivers.”
Zhao Taile's face tightened. He had been beaten the last time he proposed taking tens of thousands of taels of silver from home to buy this pleasure boat.
He didn't want to be beaten again, so he quickly changed his tune and said: "Father, I've thought about it. This is indeed an unnecessary expense, so..."
"Buy it."
Zhaoxuanji's sudden two words left Zhao Tai stunned.
He stared at Zhao Xuanji in disbelief and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Father, are you confused"
Zhao Xuanji didn't get angry as he usually did, but calmly said: "I will tell the steward, whatever you want to buy, just go and take the money."
This month, you can do whatever you want, find any woman you want. After a month, you'll go to Jinling.
Zhaotai instinctively felt something was wrong and asked, "Go to Jinling Why go to Jinling"
Zhao Xuanji had been navigating the political arena for decades, but today, facing his own son, he felt strangely speechless.
He turned his head away, avoiding Zhao Tailai's gaze. He said in a low voice, "The situation in the capital is changing rapidly. You staying here will bring you many inconveniences. I have already made arrangements for you. In a month, leave for Jinling. People there will take care of your daily life. When the situation in the capital calms down, I will pick you up."
But within this month, you must return every night. I will arrange for women to spend the night with you, and within a month, you must find a way to get one of them pregnant.
Zhao Tailai didn't notice anything amiss in those words. He said with delight, "Really You said it yourself, Father, don't go back on your word!"
"Haha! Then thanks, Dad. I'm heading out now!"
Looking at Zhao Tailai's gleeful and jubilant run, Zhao Xuanji gently closed his eyes and murmured in a trembling voice: "Tailai... It's not that father is heartless, it's you... You're just too useless."
"May this month bring good fortune to the Zhao family and keep their lineage burning bright..." four hesitate.The old monk said calmly, "If you have any difficulties, just say so. Meeting with the poor monk is a sign of fate, and if I am able to help, I will definitely do so.""Master," the woma...
