PS: Thanks to "Boring Saint", "Evil Blade", and "Soaring Eagle" for their precious monthly votes.
Things went as Sei Itō expected. After three to four days of verification, the entire Zhao Kingdom came to a consensus. They agreed to give Sei Itō the title of Marquis of Ju Lu, replacing Zhao Mu with the title of Marquis, and taking Xu Ya and Ni as his wives. However, Princess Zhao Qian was adamantly against marrying him. As for the title of "Marquis" that Zhao Ya had promised beforehand, it was rejected by the court officials.
It couldn't be helped. The status of women during the Warring States Period was too low. Even though Zhao Ya was the royal sister and was doted on by King Zhao, she still didn't have much power in the court.
As for the title of "Marquis", it was a title given to people who had both land and official positions in the court. For example, Xinling Marquis, Pingyuan Marquis, Chun Shen Marquis, and so on. Therefore, to a certain extent, a Marquis was a person who fought with the old officials in the court for meat and won. The old officials and members of the imperial family naturally wouldn't like this person and wouldn't want such a person to appear again. Therefore, it was only natural that such an outcome would occur.
"Sorry, Chen Lang, I wasn't able to complete the task." Zhao Ya said to Sei Itō with a face full of guilt after returning to the mansion.
"Don't worry, I expected this. When I go to the palace tomorrow to receive my title, I will naturally have a way to deal with those old guys." Itō Sei stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Ya, who had walked in front of him, into his arms. He put his hand into her clothes and held Zhao Ya's plump and elastic breasts. While playing with them wantonly, he sneered.
"En. It's time to teach those old guys a lesson. They actually dared to call me a rude slut in front of Brother Wang. They shouldn't have privately discussed the matters of the court. They should have gone back to their mansions to reflect on their mistakes. They are too hateful! "Zhao Ya said with a face full of resentment.
As expected, no matter who you offend, you should never offend a woman. Especially a woman who has the ability and loves to hold grudges …
"Oh right, go lie down in the palace later. Go talk to Zhao Qian and tell her not to worry. Tell her that she will definitely become my woman, "Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Darling Chen is really good to Qian 'er." Zhao Ya pouted her lips and said with a jealous look.
"You're jealous of your own niece. You're really jealous." Sei Itō clenched his fist. Zhao Ya felt the pain and laughed softly.
"Yes, yes, yes. It's all Ya 'er's fault. Ya' er shouldn't be jealous. I won't do it again. " Zhao Ya stole a glance at Sei Itō's expression and realized that he wasn't angry at all. She quickly put on a charming smile and said.
Just like in "Women's Training", although there was no such rule during the Warring States Period, it was common knowledge that jealous women would not have a good ending. It was not because they were angered by their husband's family (divorced). They would either be hated by their whole family or be sold or punished for some reason. Being beaten to death had happened before. Therefore, in order to not cause trouble for themselves, all the women in this era were extremely obedient. Even if they were fake, they still had to maintain a facade.
"Don't worry, Darling Chen. Qian 'er is Ya' er's niece. How could Ya 'er not care? After the court meeting was settled, she went to see Qian 'er and settled her down. Now, she's probably waiting for Darling Chen's miracle to happen, "Zhao Ya paused and changed her position so that Sei Itō could have more fun with her.
"You're so considerate," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"In addition, Mr. Chen, Gu Ya 'er's spies have reported that the Wu's people are very interested in cement, horseshoes and other things. They may send a letter to visit you after you receive the title. Mr. Chen, you have to make some preparations." Then, Zhao Ya's expression became serious and she said.
"I heard that Wu Tingfang is the number one beauty in the Zhao Kingdom?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, that woman is too flirtatious. Even I feel ashamed of my inferiority when I see her. Why, Darling Chen wants to take her in? "Zhao Ya asked while looking at Sei Itō's face.
"For the time being, the Wu's are still useful to me. If possible, I don't mind giving the Wu's daughter a wife and forming a marriage alliance with them," Sei Itō nodded slightly and admitted.
"Yes, although Darling Chen has contributed the horseshoes technology, the Zhao Kingdom's dependence on war horses cannot be completely eliminated in one or two years. Moreover, the Wu's control half of the livestock industry in the Zhao Kingdom. They have a great influence in the Zhao Kingdom. If used well, they can help Darling Chen obtain the Zhao Kingdom better," Zhao Ya said to herself with a look of realization.
Sei Itō smiled and did not deny it.
"How are the places I asked you to prepare?" Sei Itō then asked.
"The places have been chosen. They are in the suburbs of Handan and in the south of the city. They are not far from Ya 'er's mansion and can be reached in a moment. If Darling Chen wants to use them, you can arrange them at any time," Zhao Ya replied.
"Is that so? Let's go. Take me to the suburbs to have a look, "Sei Itō said as he pulled his hand out and stood up.
"Okay." Zhao Ya straightened up and tidied her clothes. She left the house and went to the courtyard of the mansion. She ordered the coachman and carriage to come over. Outside the mansion, she sat in the carriage and drove towards the suburbs.
Just as Zhao Ya said, in less than half an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a wasteland where a few mud huts and farmers lived.
Then Zhao Ya and Sei Itō got out of the carriage and stood beside it.
"Where was this place before?" Ito Seiji asked in a low voice as he looked around, only to find that it was empty.
"This was the fief that Brother Wang gave to me. However, after Zhao Kuo's death, it was left unused and has been maintained in this state. Darling Chen, please feel free to use it," Zhao Ya replied.
Sei Itō nodded and released his Psychic Energy to scan the surroundings.
"How big is your fief?" Sei Itō asked as he scanned the area.
"Everything within this perimeter is my fief. It is around eight thousand mu," Zhao Ya said proudly.
Indeed, eight thousand mu of land was not a small number. It was two to three times larger than the fiefs of ordinary scholar-officials and officials. With the current situation of food production in this era, it was not a problem to feed a thousand people. Moreover, this was a 'precious' piece of land in the suburbs of Handan City. It could be seen how much King Zhao doted on Zhao Ya.
"Not bad at all," he said after a while. After a while, Sei Itō withdrew his Psychic Energy. He did not find anything wrong with this piece of land and nodded.
"Let's go and take a look at that place in the city," Sei Itō said.
Zhao Ya naturally had no objections. She and Sei Itō got back into the carriage and headed towards the city under the coachman's guidance. In the next moment, he stopped again.
"Madam, Sir. We've arrived, "the coachman reminded them from outside.
Hearing this, Sei Itō and Zhao Ya did not hesitate. They immediately got out of the carriage and got off. In an instant, a mud house that was more than ten meters wide appeared in front of Sei Itō's eyes.
Following this, Sei Itō opened the door and walked in. Then, a spacious environment appeared in front of Sei Itō's eyes. The space was very large. It was close to a hundred square meters. There were no decorations inside and it was completely empty.
"What was this place originally?" Sei Itō asked.
"It was originally a shop that belonged to a merchant from the State of Qi. However, it was later bought by a merchant from the State of Zhao to sell some Chu goods. A few days ago, Sir Chen said that he wanted a good shop, and I thought that this place was suitable. So, he got someone to buy this shop, "Zhao Ya, who had followed him into the house, explained.
Although she spoke casually, how could Sei Itō not understand? The so-called transaction must have involved the use of power. Otherwise, why would such a good shop be sold? However, Sei Itō did not care about this. After all, Sei Itō was not a saint. He did not have the leisure to care about the situation of unrelated people.
"Very good. You did well. "Sei Itō nodded and said.
"Then, Sir Chen, are you not going to reward this servant?" Zhao Ya leaned against Sei Itō's body and said in a soft voice.
"Come here," Sei Itō said with a smile.
Zhao Ya's face lit up and she quickly walked in front of Sei Itō. At this moment, her eyes lit up. A very beautiful silver-white necklace that reflected the sunlight outside appeared in front of Zhao Ya. It was a cypress gold necklace with a small diamond at the bottom.
Then, Ito Sei stretched out his arm and put the necklace around Zhao Ya's neck while Zhao Ya was looking at him with joy.
"How is it, Sir Chen? Does it look good?" Zhao Ya asked anxiously.
"See for yourself." Sei Itō said as he stretched out his arm. A mirror immediately appeared in his hand and he handed it to Zhao Ya.
"Ah!" Zhao Ya, who had seen her appearance so clearly for the first time, was startled and unconsciously let out a cry of surprise. However, it was immediately replaced by joy. She grabbed the mirror and held it in her hand, admiring her appearance in the mirror.
"Since you like it, this is also for you," Sei Itō said with a smile.
"Really? Thank you, Sir Chen. This servant loves you to death. " Hearing this, Zhao Ya's face immediately lit up. She quickly stepped forward and hugged Sei Itō's body tightly, taking the initiative to give her fragrant lips.
Sei Itō did not hesitate. He lowered his head and kissed her. Their tongues skillfully and intensely tangled together.
A few minutes later.
"Alright, let's go back and be beautiful." Sei Itō let go of the panting Zhao Ya and smiled.
Then, the two did not stay in the shop for long. They turned around and left the shop, boarded the carriage, and returned to Madam Ya's residence under the coachman's driving. As for the following erotic, lingering, and licentious acts, it was needless to say.
The next morning, after eating the delicious Sei Itō made by the cook in the residence, Zhao Ya and Zhao Ya sat in the carriage and moved to the palace in the center of the city.
A moment later, the carriage stopped in front of the palace's main gate.
Sei Itō and Zhao Ya got off the carriage. Under Zhao Ya's lead, they entered the palace and went straight to the main hall where the court was located.
This was a very large building, covering an area of more than 200 square meters. There were a large number of armed guards around. There were very few decorations inside. In addition to the braziers placed on both sides of the main hall for warmth in winter, there was only a large wooden screen with a dragon totem drawn in the style of the Zhao Kingdom behind the throne at the innermost end of the hall. Two maids holding large feather long staffs stood on the left and right of the screen, protecting King Zhao, who was sitting in front of the screen and behind it.
On the left and right of King Zhao, there were more than ten male officials of different ages sitting respectively. They were wearing official robes. Their bodies were upright, and their eyes were lowered as if they were meditating and sleeping. It was difficult to tell what they liked or disliked from their calm faces.
"This commoner Chen Yi (Concubine Ya) greets Your Majesty." Sei Itō and Zhao Ya both bowed politely.
"Sir, please get up." King Zhao did not dare to be arrogant. He quickly got up and helped them up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sei Itō and Zhao Ya looked at each other and smiled. They immediately stood up from the ground.
"Chen Yi." At this time, King Zhao sternly shouted.
"This commoner is here." Chen Yi bowed and replied.
"Player Chen Yi, the joy of the Zhao Kingdom. He is young and talented. His intelligence is shocking. He knows how to use horse's feet, stirrups, and saddles. He can reduce the consumption of cavalry and increase the speed of troops! He also knows how to use clay to build the Great Wall. He can be rewarded with the title of a vassal of a country, a huge deer, and a thousand gold coins. He can be married to Princess Ya and Ni of the Royal Family. His beauty is excellent, and he can be looked forward to in the future … "King Zhao's expression was solemn as he spoke loudly.
In plain language, it could be summed up in one sentence: Chen Yi, a good person from the Zhao country, has great talent at a young age. He has contributed a great service by offering horseshoes, stirrups, stables, and cement. He can be conferred the title of a vassal of the country, a land of great deer, and a reward of thousands of gold. He can make Zhao Ya and Zhao Ni two his wives, and Zi will reward him, hoping that he can make more contributions in the future and so on.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sei Itō and Zhao Ya said in unison.
At this point, Sei Itō officially had his first identity in the Warring States Period. He was Marquis Ju Lu of the Zhao Kingdom, and the in-laws of the Zhao Clan!
Then, Sei Itō stood up and looked around at the scholars and officials of the Zhao Kingdom. At the same time, these scholars and officials also raised their heads and looked at Sei Itō standing in the middle of the hall.
However, at this time, Sei Itō suddenly sneered and released his Psychic Energy. Without any hesitation, it pierced into the minds of the people around him.
Instantly, the officials felt a pain in their heads and their consciousness became hazy. It was not until a moment later that they came back to their senses. However, at this time, the way they looked at Sei Itō was completely different from before. There was no longer any disdain or judgment in their eyes. Instead, they were filled with respect.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were in the wrong place, they would have immediately prostrated themselves on the ground like King Zhao and shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Just like that, all of the upper echelons of the Zhao Kingdom were in his hands. Sei Itō had secretly taken over the Zhao Kingdom!
Following this, Sei Itō bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this subject wishes to marry Princess Qian. Your Majesty, please allow it."
"This …" King Zhao purposely revealed a trace of hesitation and looked at the people in the hall. After seeing that none of the officials had any objections, he happily said in a loud voice, "This Humble One allows it. In three days, Princess Qian, Princess Qian, and Princess Qian will be married to Marquis Ju Lu. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sei Itō continued to put on a show.
"Alright, you can leave. Remember to quickly set up the cement field." King Zhao also put on a show.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sei Itō replied.
