Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 44
Hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Gao's eyes lit up, "The minister, please allow your Majesty to renovate Zhuque Street starting tomorrow, and it must be completed tomorrow. At that time, please give me a word from your Majesty. From then on, it will be named Suzaku Food." street!"

Feng Quji nodded and said: "Well, this strategy is very good. Your Majesty has thought of such a wonderful strategy for me. From now on, I will follow this law."

Li Si and others were convinced. Seeing the officials giving face like this, Ying Zheng suddenly felt better.

"Except for Xianyang City, what is the situation in Guanzhong now?" Ying Zheng thought of another question.

Li Si quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, except for Xianyang City, people in all parts of Guanzhong, and even the whole country, have started to eat roasted and fried locusts."

"According to Yichen's calculations, according to the current way of eating, I believe that the locust larvae will be eaten up in a short time. This year's locust plague will definitely not happen again."

Ying Zheng was even happier when he heard the words, "Okay, that's how it should be, if the ancestors know that the locusts that have plagued them for countless years have been solved in this way, I don't know how they will feel under the nine springs. "

Ying Zheng's words caused the officials to burst into laughter, but Zhao Yi disagreed. After all, this was what he wanted. In his time, anything that was targeted would be eaten to extinction, let alone the one in front of him. Locusts are gone.

"Come, come, I'm treating guests today, and we'll have a drink with you!" Ying Zheng waved his hand proudly, feeling interested in eating and drinking.

"Your Majesty is outside the palace, how can you invite His Majesty to treat you? Over there, come here, quickly serve freshly fried locusts, and a few jars of fine wine..." Qiang Yan immediately yelled at his vendor when he heard that Ying Zheng was in a good mood. up.

Zhao Gao was not to be outdone, "Your Majesty, try the Zajia stall. The ingredients used here are all of the highest quality and the prices are the cheapest. Your Majesty, please eat from the Zajia stall..."

Soon, roasted and fried locusts and fine wines were delivered from stalls everywhere, and Yingzheng and his officials began to eat and drink in this lively market.

"Qiong Zhi, come and taste it too, it tastes really good!" Ying Zheng was in high spirits, and offered to ask Mrs. Qiong Zhi to eat with him.

When Mrs. Qiongzhi saw the locusts, her first reaction was a bad habit, but when His Majesty invited them, and seeing so many ministers and people eating them with gusto, she had no way to refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and take a bite.

Initially, she was a little nauseous after eating the locusts, but after she chewed the fragrant locusts, Mrs. Qiongzhi's eyes lit up and her appetite suddenly increased.

"Your Majesty, the taste of this locust is really good, and it can be eaten as a snack on weekdays."

Ying Zheng laughed loudly when he heard the words, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yi, thinking to himself: Such delicious food is all thanks to your son, and you don't know anything.

Zhao Yi stood quietly at the side at this time, eating locusts while watching the lively market, feeling a different kind of feeling in his heart, the first time in his life, he had the feeling of being integrated into this world.

On the other side, Li Si and other courtiers seemed to have just realized what they were saying, and couldn't help but lower their voices to discuss.

"Hey, did you find out, His Majesty didn't bring Mrs. Gongsun and Young Master Hu Hai out of the palace today, but only these two."

"Mrs. Gongsun has not recovered from her serious illness, so it is naturally inconvenient to bring it out. Besides, how can Young Master Hu Hai compare with General Cheqi?"

"Speak carefully, your majesty's family affairs are not something you can talk about..."

While the ministers were talking, Qiang Li happily walked over holding a bunch of freshly fried locusts, and saw a figure by accident, couldn't help pushing Yang Duan and said, "Lao Yang, look at that Man, is he young master Hu Hai?"

Qiang Li's words attracted the attention of almost everyone, but when they saw the direction Qiang Li was pointing at, they all froze.

When Ying Zheng's eyes also met, there was a strange smell in the air.

At this time, at the end of the street, Mr. Hu Hai was holding a young girl on the left and a bald woman on the right. Shi Shiran walked over, not shying away from the surprised eyes of the people around him.

"Isn't the woman on the left of the young master Zhao Li, Princess Qingyang of Zhao Guo's clan? How could they..." After Qiang Yan saw it clearly, he blurted out.

"Old Qiang, shut up!" Yang Duan and a Ji Ling hurriedly told Qiang Li to shut up, but Qiang Li didn't seem to notice anything, and still yelled loudly.

"Really, it's Zhao Li. Wasn't that captured by you and me, Lao Yang? And the woman on the other side of the young master should have been tortured. Hey, isn't that Zhao Li's twin sister, Zhao Ya! How did they got mixed up?"

"Qiang Li, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Gao's face turned green and pale, and suddenly he yelled angrily.

Feng Quji also glared at Qiang Yan and reprimanded, "Qiang Yan, you have eaten too many bars, and His Majesty is still here!"

Qiang Lu didn't notice Feng Quji's wink at him at all, but only noticed Zhao Gao's resentful stare at him, he was not angry, he yelled more angrily, and pointed directly in the direction of Hu Hai.

"Just look, isn't that the young master Hu Hai and the two princesses of Zhao? I'm not wrong!"

The officials were breaking out in cold sweat, of course everyone could see clearly, and even more so, what Young Master Hu Hai was doing at this time.

Hu Hai was still unaware at this time. He was holding one hand and acting intimately with the two women, and walked toward the crowd.

Originally, Hu Hai's behavior was nothing in later generations, but the problem was in the Qin Dynasty.

As we all know, Qin State and Zhao State share the same ancestor, so the Qin State’s clan has always had laws and regulations, and the son of the clan must not intermarry with the Zhao Kingdom’s clan.
In addition, Zhao Ya, the former princess of Zhao State who was with Hu Hai, obviously committed a serious crime in Qin State, so she was sentenced to enduring punishment.

Endurance punishment is a very humiliating punishment for women in Daqin. Women who are punished will have all the hair on their bodies removed.

Even though the folk customs are civilized in this era, all the folks will feel contemptuous of women who have endured torture.

However, Hu Hai, the son, did not shy away from it at all. Walking closely with such a woman is not only an insult to the dignity of the royal family, but also a slap in the face of Ying Zheng.

Yingzheng's fists were clenched tightly, his whole body was like an ancient beast, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was in a state of eruption at any time.

Family ugliness should not be publicized, but such a family ugliness was exposed in front of so many important officials in the court.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not in front of so many people, Ying Zheng would have wanted to strangle Hu Hai to death.

Zhao Gao was even more stunned. He thought he knew Hu Hai well enough, but he didn't expect that the person he bet heavily on would be so absurd behind his back!
