At this time, the old empress dowager Sima Jing raised her head again and looked at Yang Yun carefully, as if she wanted to engrave Yang Yun's appearance in her mind.

"Like, really like, it is indeed the boy of my Sima family, and he has similarities with your grandfather and several uncles." It took a long time before the old lady said excitedly.

"Come on, come on, tell me about the people of my Sima family, and the situation in Dafu now." The old queen mother asked Yang Yun to sit in front of her and said excitedly.

After hearing Yang Yun talk about the situation of Sima Quan's family, Sima Yu's life in the palace, and his current development in Wu County, a smile appeared on the old queen's face.

"It seems that this Yang Yuan is not crazy, and he has not killed all the people of our Sima family." When she heard Yang Yun talk about this, the old lady's hatred for Da Fu decreased a lot.

Seeing that the old queen mother was in a very happy mood, Yang Yun brought up the old words again and talked about the alliance between the two countries.

"Yun'er! My aunt and grandmother were very happy to be able to see the descendants of my Sima family before my old lady died. But no matter how deep the family affection is, we can't risk my Zheng Guo's safety! "Speaking of the alliance, the old queen mother is still very resolute.

"But Grandma, you Zheng Guo have been living under the suppression of Chu State for so many years, are the common people really happy?" Yang Yun looked at the old queen mother and said seriously.

"Child, I also know that we have been bullied by the Chu State over the years. Although it is a long time, it is much better than burying the ancestral inheritance! There was some helplessness and some unwillingness in the tone of the old queen mother.

"Auntie, blindly tolerating will only make the other party gain an inch, and if it goes on like this, Zheng Guo will be annexed by Chu sooner or later." Yang Yun said with some excitement.

"We also understand this truth, but if we make any changes, and the soldiers of the Chu State are approaching, our little strength will be vulnerable in front of the powerful Chu State."

"If our two countries form an alliance, the state of Chu will be our common enemy, and once they target you, we will not stand idly by."

"But our two countries are in the north and south of Chu State, and if you help, our country may have been wiped out long ago!"

"But in your current situation, if you don't change your mind, you don't need the people of Chu to attack you, you will be more and more difficult day by day, and you will not be able to hold on!"

Although family affection is very important, in the face of national affairs, the two still do not give in.

"I don't want to be the king of the country, I don't want the inheritance of my ancestors to be buried in my hands, if you can give me a reasonable plan, I am willing to fight. But if I don't have a chance of winning, I can't sacrifice the lives of my subjects for nothing! Then there was a voice outside the door, and then a man walked in.

The person who came in was none other than Yu Wenshan, the Emperor of Zheng Guo whom Yang Yun had met, and it seemed that he had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

After Yu Wenshan came in, he first saluted the old empress dowager Sima Jing, and then sat down next to her.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth is actually the younger generation of the Queen Mother, then we are also a family, we have to plan it well. To tell you the truth, the widow couldn't bear it for a long time, if he hadn't worried about the safety of the people of my Zheng State, he would have already picked up the guy and these greedy jackals of Chu State. Since the relationship has taken a step further, this time Yu Wenshan and Yang Yun talked more casually.

Because to beg

The matter is very important, Yu Wenshan called all the eunuchs and palace maids away, leaving only the old queen mother Sima Jing, Qiao Yuwei and Yang Yun and Chi Mu'er and others.

After some conversation, Yang Yun figured out Qiao Yuwei's identity. Qiao Yuwei was originally the daughter of a general of Zheng Guo, and his father was killed in battle while fighting for Zheng Guo.

And Qiao Yuwei's mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to Qiao Yuwei. The little Qiao Yuwei became an orphan, was raised by the Queen Mother Sima Jing since she was a child, and became Sima Jing's personal maid.

However, because Qiao Yuwei is very considerate on weekdays, she is deeply loved by the old queen mother Sima Jing. Plus she's loyal again. So the old queen mother simply accepted Qiao Yuwei as her godgranddaughter and named her "Princess Yuwei".

After Qiao Yuwei was named a princess, she was still reluctant to leave the palace, and she has been serving by the side of the old queen mother, becoming the most relied on confidant of the old queen mother Sima Jing.

Several people were together and discussed this matter for a long time. Although no formal agreement was reached, through exchanges, Yang Yun and Yu Wenshan both had a deeper understanding of each other.

It is rumored that Emperor Zheng Yu Wenshan is cowardly and afraid of things, and all major affairs in the court are in the hands of the Empress Dowager Sima Jing.

But in the conversation with them, Yang Yun found that the real situation was not the case, although the old empress Sima Jing had a high prestige in the court, she was not a person who was greedy for power.

She did her best to support Yu Wenshan to ascend to the throne, and cleared out some ill-intentioned people inside and outside Zheng for him, and when she faced difficulties, she bravely stood in front of Yu Wenshan to protect the growth of the young emperor.

"Zheng Guo is already relatively weak, how can he withstand internal friction." The old lady's words made Yang Yun feel that this looked like a very thin old lady's broad mind.

And Emperor Zheng Yu Wenshan, a young emperor who is about the same age as Yang Yun, has a heart that worries about the country and the people, and also has the grand ambition to lead the people of Zheng Guo out of the predicament.

It is these two people, the old and the young, one in front of the country, moving forward bravely. One is behind him, with his rich life experience, he escorts him at critical times, and drives Zheng Guo, a big ship in the storm, with great difficulty.

Originally, the main purpose of Yang Yun's trip was to promote the alliance between Dafu and Zheng Guo, as for how Zheng Guo should develop? That's not in his area of concern.

But now the situation has changed, and Sima Jing is actually his relative. So, with his knowledge and experience before the exercise, Yang Yun gave Yuwenshan a lot of suggestions to help Zheng Guo develop.

These suggestions made Yu Wenshan's eyes, who wanted to seek the development of Zheng Guo, light up, and dragged Yang Yun to let him explain to himself in detail.

This statement was out of control, starting from almost noon, until the sun set, and even during lunch in the Empress Dowager's palace, they were exchanging the direction of Zheng Guo's development.

In the afternoon, the old empress dowager Sima Jing went to the dormitory to rest due to her limited energy. As for Qiao Yuwei and Chi Mu'er, they couldn't understand this, and they didn't have any interest in this conversation, so they didn't know where they went.

But Yu Wenshan has been listening very carefully, and from time to time he has asked some questions. He also asked people to find some officials of the Shaozhuang faction, who were obviously deeply admired by Yu Wenshan, and let them participate in the conversation.

"Brother Yun, we are about the same age, why do you have so many things in your head that few people don't know. Otherwise, you just stay, and I will crown you as a side king, and we will be brothers together

Let's make Zheng the richest country in the neighborhood. Yu Wenshan admired this young man who was only a few months older than him, and he said excitedly at the end of the conversation.

"Hehe, I'm a person, it's okay to come up with some ideas, but it's not okay to do things specifically, I'm used to being lazy, I'm most afraid of trouble, Your Majesty's kindness can only be understood." Yang Yun smiled and refused Yu Wenshan's invitation and left the Zheng Palace with Chi Mu'er.

Back in the small courtyard where he lived, Yang Yun found Ju Yuanguang, Yao Xia and others. I communicated with them, the harvest of this day, and at the same time discussed, how to form an alliance with Zheng Guo?

In the next few days, Yang Yun took Ju Yuanguang and Yao Xia with him. After many consultations with Yu Wenshan and some important ministers of Zheng Guo, they finally reached a consensus on many aspects.

Finally, Yang Yun and Zheng Guo's prime minister Li Chengjun and Hussar General Duanmu Xiong secretly signed an agreement and reached an offensive and defensive alliance.

Due to the relatively weak strength of Zheng Guo, once the Chu State knew that Zheng Guo and Da Fu had formed an alliance, Zheng Guo would face annihilation. Therefore, for this alliance, Zheng Guo put forward two conditions.

The first condition, the secret alliance between the two countries, and the information is limited to the two countries, and a very small number of high-level internal ones. In addition, Dafu also needs to work hard to promote Yu Yue, who is next to Zheng Guo, to join this covenant together.

With Yu Yue joining this alliance, once the state of Chu launched an attack on either of these two small states. The two countries can watch and help each other and work together to resist the army of Chu. In this way, we can ensure to the greatest extent that Zheng Guo will not become a victim of this alliance.

It took so much time and so much effort to finally sign the covenant. But Yang Yun found that he was not happy at all.

Because he knows deeply that this covenant with Zheng Guo. There are still many variables, and if you can't form an alliance with Yu Yue, who is next to Zheng Guo, then all this will become empty talk.

Without Yu Yue joining in the middle of this covenant, it would be impossible for Zheng Guo to have the courage to face a behemoth like Chu State alone.

Even the Empress Dowager Zheng Guo and Yang Yun have an inextricable relationship, but in the face of national interests, these relationships seem very small. Therefore, this paper covenant is also in danger of being torn up at any time.

However, after working hard for so long, there is still some gain, so Yang Yun still has a trace of relief in his heart.

Before leaving Zheng Guo, Yang Yun made an appointment with Duanmu Jiyue and Qiao Yuwei to play well in Lingxing City for a few days.

I traveled all over the scenic spots of Lingxing City and ate all kinds of food in Lingxing City. Duanmu Jiyue and Qiao Yuwei, although they are both from Zheng Guo, they rarely interact with each other on weekdays. This time, through Yang Yun and Chi Mu'er, the two are familiar with each other.

These two girls with lively personalities, they have many similarities. Both like to be lively, like to go shopping, like to buy all kinds of decorations, and prefer to eat all kinds of food.

In the past few days, the streets and alleys in Lingxing City have been left everywhere, Duanmu Lingyue and Qiao Yuwei's joyful laughter and lively figures.

Looking at these two girls, they had a lot of fun, and Yang Yun was also very happy, this time they came to Zheng Guo, who was unfamiliar with his life, and was able to successfully achieve this covenant, these two girls were very meritorious.

Looking at these two beautiful figures, Yang Yun couldn't help but think of another beautiful woman. It has been several months since she left Wu County, and I don't know if she can be happy at home as a gentle and virtuous woman.
