Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 355 Wang Jian: Do you want a wife or not?

"That's the story about five cute ponies..." Zhao Si knew that he could not hide the fact that Wang Jian was the mastermind behind the scenes, but the key to it was hard to explain clearly, so he could only point it out.

"Five cute ponies?" Wang Jian was stunned for a moment.

Wang Jian is a smart man, and Wang Jian knows everything about Zhao Si.

Who couldn't love five adorable ponies?

The horror of being quartered by five horses must contain a great temptation...

Wang Li, who was eating melon, was confused. Five cute ponies?Could it be that Zhao Si convinced Li Si by giving him five good horses?
Wang Jian looked at Zhao Sifu intently and sighed.

"My Wang Liduo is not as good as yours..."

Wang Li, who was eating melon and still thinking about the connection between the five cute ponies and persuading Li Si, raised his head, was stunned and scratched his head.

He is indeed not as good as Zhao Si. He is close to the king...

They marched all the way until they arrived at Zhao Si's residence, and Zhao Si then left.

Inside the carriage, only Wang Jian and Wang Li were left.

"Father, could it be that Zhao Si sent five good horses to convince Prime Minister Li?" Wang Li had a strong curiosity on his face.

"Giving away a damn horse, he risked Li Si being cut into pieces by five horses!" Wang Jian glanced at Wang Li, who still looked confused, and sighed.

This child is too simple and too honest.

Once upon a time, Zhao Si and his grandson Wang Li were the same.

Now, under the influence of Zhao Si, his appearance has changed in just over three years, but his grandson still looks innocent.

Today's Wang Li can only maintain his status. If the current situation is chaotic, he will inevitably fall into the sorrow and chaos of loneliness.

In fact, this is true in history.

In the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, Wang Li took over the Great Wall Corps. Zhang Han was as immovable as a mountain, and Wang Li died... purely because he was framed by friendly forces.

Wang Jian's status is too special. Due to various reasons, and also because of Wang Li's nature, Wang Li has this kind of character.

In prosperous times, it is more than enough to protect the family, but in troubled times...

From the moment the order to move the royal tomb was promulgated, Wang Jian had become somewhat unclear about the future direction of the situation.

This is a new round of struggle, a struggle between Guanzhong and outside Guanzhong, a power struggle between the central and local governments, and it is even longer than the downfall of the Six Kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty.

But Wang Jian has already stood up...

"You are following His Majesty to patrol the world with Zhao Si. Did Your Majesty mention Zhao Si's marriage?" Wang Jian pondered for a moment and asked.

"I haven't heard it mentioned before. As for the private matters, I don't know. By the way, on the way, Zhao Si took a concubine. She was the legitimate daughter of the Yu family in Kuaiji." Wang Li thought for a moment. He spoke.

Wang Jian nodded and sighed: "It's a pity that the boy is incompetent and there is no suitable woman in the family."

When Wang Li heard this, he knew what his eldest father had planned.

But he couldn't answer these words. Wang Jian was secretly scolding Wang Ben for not giving Wang Li a direct sister.

Wang Jian had mentioned it to Wang Li once before, but that time it was probably just a casual remark. But this time, Wang Li could feel his father's heartbeat.

Although Zhao Si was favored by the king at that time, he had just returned from the sea and had no foundation. He was still a young boy. Even if Wang Jian knew that Zhao Si was favored, he would not blindly choose his son.

But now, Zhao Si can truly talk to Wang Jian on an equal footing.

Wang Jian also knew the gold content behind Zhao Si's ability to promote all this.

And Wang Li happens to be a fool...

Once the situation becomes chaotic, Wang Li may not be able to survive alone.

"It's not like we don't have sisters in the family. My younger sister is at the age of [-] and is not yet married. Although she is a commoner, she is loved by her parents..." Wang Li scratched his head.Wang Li truly supports this matter.

After all, he and Zhao Si are good brothers, so of course he is willing to get closer to Zhao Si.

Besides, not to mention this, if they really got married, wouldn't Zhao Si have to call him uncle in the future?

Real good brothers will always actively participate in order to legitimately dominate the brothers.

"Weaving silk is not a direct descendant..." Wang Jian shook his head.

"It's just a matter of being raised by my mother... It's nothing more than a reordering of the genealogy. If you, my eldest father, say something, who can deny the title of Zhibo?" Wang Li enthusiastically spoke up for his eldest father.

What Wang Li said is true.

In fact, the so-called concubine has no restrictions on the Wang family, but it is just an excuse for Wang Jian to hesitate.

After all, Zhao Si's position was too special, and Wang Jian was not sure whether the First Emperor had made preparations in advance.

To put it bluntly, considering how close and important the First Emperor was to Zhao Si, it would not be a surprise if the emperor married his concubine to Zhao Si and Wang Jian.

Moreover, most of Zhao Si's power comes from being close to the First Emperor. He does not have any kinship power. Now that he recognizes his father and brother, he is no more than Liao Liao. It is really too vain...

In the final analysis, the Wang family only needs stability and does not need risk.

However, Wang Li's enthusiastic speech made Wang Jian's hesitation gradually tilt towards another outcome.

Thanks to the aura of raw jade, Wang Jian really liked Zhao Si and was very close to him.

Personal emotions are also an important factor influencing Wang Jian's thoughts.

"At this time of crisis, this matter cannot be urgent. I must ask His Majesty first..." Wang Jian shook his head.

"Why is it not urgent? It is during the stormy times that we can get married. When the weather clears up, your majesty may be about to marry the concubine..." Wang Li argued hard.

When Wang Jian heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he slapped Wang Li on the forehead.

"Why did you beat me, eldest father?"

"It doesn't work when it should be bright, and it's bright when it shouldn't be bright." Wang Li snorted, clasped his hands together, opened the curtain and looked at Zhao Si's house in Xianyang.

Once upon a time, Zhao Si returned from going to sea and even had no fixed place to live.

Even the large house in Xianyang where Zhao Si now lives was donated by the Wang family personally.

Slaves, ministers and maids are almost all from the royal family.

Is it possible that he wants to give Zhao Si a wife now?

Well...the most terrible thing is that this thing may not be possible yet.

Wang Jian was getting older, and he still wanted to gain respect, so he eagerly presented it to him. If the First Emperor was unwilling or Zhao Si was unwilling, it would be a huge loss.

If those old guys from Mengwu knew about it, there would be no room for their old faces.

"Let's ask His Majesty privately first..." Wang Jian sighed.

The First Emperor may not agree yet.

In Wang Jian's opinion, the First Emperor probably cared more about Zhao Si than his own son.

Regarding the important matter of marriage, I am afraid that the First Emperor would have to personally select and take care of it.

Wang Jian was really not sure whether the Wang family could cross the threshold set by the First Emperor.

There is no way, Wang Jian has reached the top and there is no way to make progress.

Unless the First Emperor was extremely close to Zhao Si, there would be a high probability that he would not agree to a powerful alliance between a family like the Wang family and Zhao Si, the closest and most favored minister before the king.
