Chapter 127: Only the general can understand the language
There are many people who are happy for Zhao Kuo's return, and the happiest one is probably Zhao's mother.
Zhao's mother is reluctant to let Zhao Kuo go to Changping, she is not just worried about her son's safety, she is worried that her son's defeat will make Ma Fujun's banner dusty, Zhao Hao is upright, strong, good at fighting, Zhao people love him, if Zhao Kuo is defeated, it is also a huge blow to Zhao Hao's reputation. But now, she is not worried that Zhao Kuo will damage her father's prestige at all, on the contrary, he has made the title of Ma Fujun even greater.
Zhao Kuo's courtyard can't accommodate so many people, but fortunately, most of his guests have their own courtyards in Mafu, which can help with hospitality, and the people are also very willing to stay in these Mafu Jun's friends, just like that, busy until the night, everyone finally has a place to stay. Zhao Kuo returned home and slept very comfortably, and it was not until noon the next day that he got up to eat.
The end of the war also seemed to be a relief for everyone, except for Di, the rest of them got up very late.
Zhao Kuo didn't want to talk too much about the war with his mother, but he was very willing to listen to his mother talk about the little things that happened to Mafu after he left. Zhao's mother's favorite thing to say is Zhao Zheng, Zhao's mother completely regards Zhao Zheng as her own grandson, but she has a great prejudice against Zhao Ji, she complained a little unhappily: Zhao Ji is unwilling to feed the child herself, and she doesn't care much about the child on weekdays, the child cries at night, she actually asked the maid to take the child outside, don't disturb her rest.
Zhao Kuo didn't take these to heart, and in later generations, there were many mothers who fed their children with milk powder, which didn't seem to be a big deal. However, some time ago, it was still a cold winter, because the child's crying affected his rest, so it seemed a bit too much to let the maid coax the child outside the house in the cold winter. However, Zhao Kuo had heard that women who give birth will have various mental illnesses, and he is not angry.
Because Zhao Zheng always cries at night, Zhao's mother holds him and walks back and forth in the courtyard, sometimes, a walk is a whole night, Zhao Zheng is only in the courtyard, will sleep, as soon as he returns to the house, he starts to cry again. After Zhao Ji was able to move around, she often came to visit Zhao's mother with gifts, but Zhao's mother was very indifferent to her, and Zhao Ji stopped coming, but Zhao Zheng stayed with Zhao's mother and was taken care of by her.
The villagers of Mafu also like this Mafuzi very much, every time Zhao's mother goes out with him, someone always sends him all kinds of food, Zhao Zheng has no teeth, and he can't eat these, he can only look at these delicious crying, Zhao's mother will chew the food and feed it to him, according to Zhao's mother: This child must be successful in the future, she has never seen such a noisy child, that is, Zhao Kuo, and she didn't toss her like this back then.
Zhao Kuo looked at the sleeping little guy in his mother's arms and couldn't help but smile.
The first emperor of the ages, he became his own son in a daze.
He looked at the little one, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Mother, please don't tell anyone who his father is.... I'm worried that the relationship between Zhao and Qin will get worse and worse, and other children will bully him. Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Zhao Kuo took Xinlingjun and walked around in the horse suit for a few days, Xinlingjun had never been to Zhao, and he was happy to follow Zhao Kuo to appreciate Zhao's style. Zhao Kuo took Xin Lingjun and was about to leave, when he called Ge again, and said seriously: "I sent someone to invite Du before, I have something to leave, if he comes, please take him to the side room to wait, but please don't tell him these instructions of mine, you just say, I have something to leave in a hurry, and then keep him waiting in the side room." ”
Ge frowned, and nodded in agreement despite his confusion.
Walking on the road, Zhao Kuo carefully observed the buildings, courtyards, and even the road, Wei Wuji stood aside and complained helplessly: I don't know, I think you are from another country! Zhao Kuo just smiled, he looked at the simple world in front of him, but he was thinking about what he could do for them, although he didn't know how to invent and create, but he still knew many good systems in later generations.
As far as the current people are concerned, in fact, Zhao can follow the example of Qin, encourage agriculture, and mobilize the enthusiasm of the people for farming.
"I've heard that Xinlingjun's friends are all over the world, and there are all kinds of sages among your friends, is this true?" , Zhao Kuo suddenly asked.
Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "That's the case." Wei Wuji, like Zhao Sheng and Huang Xie, has a lot of customers and a lot of friends, but like Wei Wuji, he directly and simply admits that his friends are sages, but he is the only one, he is free and easy, he doesn't like to hide it, when he treats friends, especially so, his words are sincere and undisguised.
"Do you have a friend from the farmer?"
Wei Wuji shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I heard that the sages of the peasant family have gathered in the Qin State, and even helped the Qin State to write laws and stipulate things about farming for the people...", Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Yes, the people of the peasant family are really a good match with the Qin State, which is the most important farmer." ”
In his previous life, Zhao Kuo knew that there were Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Moism, etc., but after coming to the Warring States Period, he learned that in addition to these schools, there were many, many schools, including this farmer. The representative figures of the peasant family, Xu Zi Xu Xing, and the hundred schools of thought, seem to represent various different classes, among them, it is the peasant family that represents the lowest peasant class.
Zhao Kuo actually wanted to make friends with the sages of the farmer's family, he didn't know how to farm, and he needed the children of the farmer's family to help him.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo was a little frustrated, Wei Wuji smiled and said, "Although I can't introduce you, I know a person, he must be a sage who can help you introduce the farmer." ”
"Plains-kun?" , Zhao Kuo asked with some curiosity.
Wei Wuji shook his head and said seriously, "Pang Xuan." ”
The two chatted for a long time, Zhao Kuo walked towards his courtyard unhurriedly this time, when he returned to the courtyard, Ge told him that Du was waiting for him in the side room, Zhao Kuo pretended to be panicked, hurriedly walked into the side room, just walked into the side room, he saw Du Zheng kneeling not far away, looking blankly ahead, Zhao Kuo frowned, deliberately stared at him with an unkind gaze, looked at him for a while, and then he said: "Du, let you wait for a long time." ”
"Ma Fujun."
Du hurriedly stood up and saluted to the front, Zhao Kuo sat in front of him with a smile, let him sit down too, and talked about the wheelbarrow, the two chatted for a long time, Du looked very happy, the success of the wheelbarrow made him very excited, Zhao Kuo chatted with him for a long time, and thanked him for his help, sent him some food, and sent him away.
When Du left, Zhao Kuofang took out a bamboo slip from under the wooden case where Du Fangcai was kneeling, and after rolling it open, the bamboo slip clearly read: "The minister has found out that Du is related to the Qin State, please come quickly." Zhao Kuo smiled, picked up the knife, and carefully crossed out the contents of the bamboo slips.
After resting in Mafu for a few days, Zhao Kuo got up and went to Handan again.
King Zhao was still in Handan, waiting for the triumph of the army.
Zhao Kuo didn't let the doormen accompany him, but just took away Ge, Li Yu, and Zhao Fu. Wei Wuji was the same, he left many of his own guests, but he took Hou Ying with him, and followed Zhao Kuo to Handan, Lian Po, Li Mu and other generals, and he must all go. Walking on the road to Handan, Zhao Kuo still didn't want to be too ostentatious, and he didn't bring a flag, and he didn't even sit in a chariot, but just took a carriage and rushed to Handan.
At this time, the news that Zhao Kuo was about to arrive in Handan also reached the ears of King Zhao.
King Zhao was very happy, hurriedly called the ministers, he was going out of the city to meet the triumphant Ma Fujun, Zhao Kuo privately dismissed the army, King Zhao also knew, but he was not angry, nor to blame, Yu Qing told him: Now it is the busy farming, let the soldiers go back to work in time, this is a good thing, it is a behavior that should be rewarded, King Zhao agreed with Yu Qing's statement, when he saw the coming carriage from a distance, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Although Zhao Guo did not get the Shangdang, they thwarted Bai Qi and removed this myth that was pressing on the Six Kingdoms.
He can also be defeated, and if he can be defeated, then it is not God.
Just like when Zhao Kuo defeated the Yan people and returned, Zhao Kuo was once again warmly greeted by King Zhao. The two had just met, King Zhao was holding Zhao Kuo's hand, unwilling to let go, when Bai Qi once hit the Great Wall, King Zhao was really afraid, and those tragic rumors on the ground made King Zhao even more worried, until Zhao Kuo repelled the Qin people, King Zhao was relieved.
From Lou Zhuan, King Zhao saw the fear of the Qin people for Zhao Kuo, and he firmly believed in his heart that as long as the Zhao State had a horse to serve the king, the Qin people would not dare to use troops against the Zhao State again, and he would not have to be afraid of anyone, and he would not have to worry about anything.
Inside and outside Handan, the people gathered to cheer for the horse service, Zhao Kuo and King Zhao rode together, accompanied by the cheers of the people, and walked into the palace. King Zhao was still comforting Zhao Kuo, and he said seriously: "It's not your fault that you can't capture Bai Qi alive, and the widow will definitely not blame you for this incident, please don't blame yourself." Zhao Kuo was speechless and stunned for a long time.
The people of Handan looked at their heroes and cheered with great victory, as Xunzi said, the Zhao people needed a hero, and Fan Ju gave them one. In the face of these fanatical people, the ministers were a little uneasy, whispering, Yu Qing looked at them with disdain and shook his head, and King Zhao didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction, he was also very happy to see that the people loved Ma Fujun so much.
Everyone walked into the palace, and sure enough, King Zhao had already prepared a banquet.
King Zhao just looked at Zhao Kuo and kept asking him about the war, and the rest of the people were left out in the cold, and King Zhao ignored them completely. Zhao Kuo looked at Wei Wuji not far away helplessly, and said to King Zhao: "Wei Guoxin Lingjun also followed the minister to Handan....", King Zhao woke up and hurriedly looked at Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji was originally a little depressed, as a Wei clan, in Zhao State, he should not be ignored like this.
But after King Zhao saw Zhao Kuo, his mind was on Ma Fujun, and he completely ignored him as a distinguished guest, which made Wei Wuji, who would be courteous wherever he went, very embarrassed. King Zhao looked at Xin Lingjun hotly, and suddenly laughed, Wei Wuji was startled by him, and before he could react, he saw King Zhao and he walked down, walked to Wei Wuji's side, and grabbed his hand.
"The widow doesn't know that Xinlingjun is also here, and he can't meet you in time, please forgive me."
King Zhao grabbed Wei Wuji's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away, but he didn't let go, so that Wei Wuji couldn't even bow to him, King Zhao drank with Wei Wuji enthusiastically, and said sincerely: "The widow has heard of your name for a long time, you can rush to Handan, the widow is very happy... The widow has a lot of things he wants to ask you for...", Zhao Kuo looked at Wei Wuji, who was at a loss, and laughed.
Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Kuo said goodbye to King Zhao and prepared to leave the palace.
At this moment, King Zhao was still holding Wei Wuji's hand, he was very grateful to Zhao Kuo for sending him Xinlingjun, and he also knew that Zhao Kuo was not good at drinking, so he didn't keep him, Zhao Kuo pulled Li Mu out of the palace, Li Mu followed Zhao Kuo, out of the palace, Li Mu asked: "What do you want to tell the eldest brother?" Zhao Kuo glared at him and said, "Go and see Gong Lin." ”
At this moment, the sky was a little dark, Li Mu nodded, followed Zhao Kuo, and rushed to Lin Xiangru's mansion.
Zhao Kuo has always been worried that Lin Xiangru will not be able to survive this cold winter, after all, his health is too poor, but fortunately, after he returned to Mafu, he did not hear any bad news. He and Li Mu rushed to the door of Lin Xiangru's courtyard, and found that a carriage had already stopped aside, Li Mu looked at the carriage seriously, and then said to Zhao Kuo: "It's General Lian Po." ”
"Isn't General Lian Po still at the banquet?"
"He left when the feast began."
Zhao Kuo nodded, knocked on the door, and soon, Lin Xiangru's retainer walked out, seeing Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, he was very happy, and took them into the courtyard, Zhao Kuo heard the laughter from the room, and the retainer did not tell him, and took them directly into the room.
Lin Xiangru was lying on the bed, his face was extremely pale, the whole person seemed to have a skeleton left, there was no flesh, the thin was terrible, the burly Lian Po was sitting aside, and was saying something to him loudly, Lin Xiangru saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand, and shouted Zhao Kuo and Li Mu in his mouth, only a few months have passed, Lin Xiangru's words are a little unclear.
Vague, his face was devoid of the shrewdness it used to be.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu immediately cried, he knelt beside Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru wanted to raise the thin hand, but couldn't do it, Li Mu hurriedly grabbed his hand, and looked at Lin Xiangru with tears in his eyes, Zhao Kuo also approached him, standing aside, Lin Xiangru quickly said something, but, he was too weak, his voice was very small, and it was vague, Lian Po listened carefully for a while, and then looked at Zhao Kuo and said: "He is happy for you." ”
Zhao Kuo smiled and looked at Lin Xiangru, who nodded and showed a gentle smile.
Lin Xiangru is like today, but not as good as the original Le Yi, he can't move anymore, he can't hear things with his ears, and he can't speak clearly, lying on the sickbed all day long, talking to himself, saying these words that no one can understand except Lian Po, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu can't even communicate with him, only Lian Po can chat with him with laughter and scolding.
When Li Mu asked him how he could know what Lin Gong was talking about, Lian Po proudly told him: He is my friend for decades, and I know what he wants to say with a look.
With Lian Po as the translator, they chatted, Lin Xiangru opened his mouth, closed one by one, and watched them chat with a smile.
Suddenly, he looked a little uneasy, he shook his body and waved his hands, trying to say something.
With a foul smell, Lin Xiangru cried helplessly.
The former warrior was even reduced to the point where he couldn't control his body.
Lian Po stood up, he was tall, his head was lowered, and one hand was tightly clasped in Lin Xiangru's hand, "Don't cry.. It's going to be old, don't cry..."
Suddenly, he turned his head, his face changed, like an angry lion, pointing at Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, and roaring: "Get out!" Seeing Lian Po's eyes that were red and flashing with tears in the candlelight, Zhao Kuo pulled Li Mu and walked out of the inner room without saying a word.
