Chapter 755: Sincere
The sky was dawning, and Zhuge Qiao was washing in the front hall.
A copper bath basin is placed on a low table, and on one side of the wooden tray there is a folded dry towel to wipe the water stains, and a box of soap for bathing and washing the face.
The invention of soap...... With a bit of coincidence, Tian Xin didn't know that the mixing and heating of plant ash water and animal fat could form an ointment similar to soap. Purely one of the specialties he fooled up, the bath balm has been added with all kinds of flower and plant essential oils, and there are similar plant dyes.
This is not even a specialty unique to Beifu, there is a certain scale of production everywhere, but the extraction of essential oil from flowers and plants belongs to the technology of Tian Xin...... However, there is also a solution for soaps everywhere, which directly crush the collected flowers, stir them into the balm after consideration, and produce a fragrant and similar color product.
Compared with the soap produced here in Tianxin, the cost of Jiangdu's balm is slightly higher...... No matter how high the cost is, if it is sold to Yizhou, it can be ignored temporarily.
Out of caution and caution, Zhuge Qiao used the balm he carried and wiped his cheeks with the cloth towel he carried.
But he couldn't do without, after finishing washing, he soaked the soap in water to make traces of use; I also picked up the allocated towel to wipe the water on my hands, and also made traces of use.
Just as he tore off the towel, he saw a small paper stick fall into the basin, he reached out and gently rubbed it open.
When I lowered my head, my heart was beating wildly, and I saw two lines of words written: Taijitai vomits blood, and the hot spring hall recuperates.
In addition to the ten words, there were six strange symbols that he couldn't understand, which seemed to be secret words and secret codes.
Sure enough, the meeting between Beifu and Cao Pi Sunset Pavilion was by no means a simple matter.
The first emperor was forced to get old and old, and in order to unify the world as soon as possible, he had to raise troops year after year; And now, Tian Xin's body for the rest of his life is bound to be full of holes, and the accumulation of injuries has reached a very serious point.
Therefore, in the past two years, there has been no record of Tian Xin personally going into battle, but the Wei people don't know the inside story, and they have been deceived and scared by the Beifu.
Then the meeting at the Sunset Pavilion may be Tian Xin's attempt to deceive and make a forced landing on Cao Pi, or to reach a relevant agreement.
Beifu and Tianxin may have to make peace with the Wei people...... This is to betray the bottom line and guidelines set by the previous emperor.
Perhaps there is a larger conspiracy intertwined......
The inside should be combined with the outside to subvert the Han family.
There is Cao Pi to do external cooperation, and now there are only two people who need to be eradicated and targeted in Beifu, one is the father stationed in Tunyizhou, which is the right arm of the Han family; One is Wei Gong stationed in the four prefectures of Tun Guandong, which is the left arm of the Han family.
At the beginning of the year, Liangzhou was delivered, and Su served as the pastor of Liangzhou on the spot; Now there is Jiazhou, the history of Jiazhou Thorn, and the general of Xifu's expedition to the west, all of whom are Tian Xinxin's minions.
At this moment, Nanyang is still in the hands of Beifu and will be delivered after the autumn harvest this year.
If the Wei Gong of the four states of Kanto suddenly encounters an accident, the Kanto dragons will be leaderless...... The soldiers of Beifu took Yizhou directly from Hanzhong, and the foundation of Jiangdu and the Han dynasty was completely finished.
Determined that Tian Xin's life would not be long in coming, Zhuge Qiao couldn't help but be very anxious.
If Tian Xin can live for five, ten, or twenty years, then naturally he will not risk fighting for this matter in the middle of the day; But a person who is injured and sick can die violently at any time...... How can such a person be expected to remain calm and patient?
With the mind of the first emperor, he was still anxious and anxious to quickly determine the world; How much patience can Tian Xin have today?
This information must be sent to Yizhou, Jiangdu, and Qingzhou in the fastest time!
With a decision in his heart, Zhuge Qiao returned to the bedroom and gently spread out the note to dry, thinking about a secret way to report the news.
There are almost no covert and normal ways to send this 100,000 urgent information back, and any abnormal behavior will attract the attention of Beifu, causing Beifu to act in advance.
"Bo Song?"
Guan Ping's voice sounded outside the hall door, Zhuge Qiao gently folded the half-dried branches and put them into his small purse containing money, and at the same time, his face was relaxed, looking very unenergetic and anxious.
looked restless, so that Guan Ping, who took the initiative to come in, only sighed when he saw it, and he also understood Zhuge Qiao's mood.
"Brother Dingguo?"
Zhuge Qiao's expression was natural, and anxiety was written on his face: "What was Gong Chen's answer last night?" ”
"On the eve and last night, Xiaoxian had already declined, and he had no intention of marrying the imperial family. I'm afraid that this is also because of this to anger Xiaoxian, and he is even more reluctant to talk to me, so he has no way to ask about Xiahou's family. ”
Guan Ping couldn't bear to observe the changes in Zhuge Qiao's face, so he turned his head to observe the interior decoration, and his eyes fell on the screen: "Alas...... Bo Song is an official business, and he has delayed a lifelong event...... Blame me for being blunt. ”
"Brother Dingguo, where are there any private and official matters in front of you?"
Zhuge Qiao clenched his hands into fists on his legs, his face hung down, his mood was unstable, and there were signs of agitation: "Marrying the daughter of the Xiahou family is not only to pursue what you love, but also to benefit the country." If I can't do it now, what face will I have to see Your Majesty? ”
The Xiahou family could only bow their heads and be human beings under the rule of the Han court, and they were held by Tian Xin like hostages; But this family has connections and influence all over the government and the opposition in the Wei State. Joining forces with it would be of great benefit to the Han family.
Especially in this critical period when Tian Xin's injuries were becoming more and more serious, and he was competing for time day and night, the attitude of the Xiahou clan was at least equal to 30,000 troops.
Guan Ping also sighed, naturally understanding Zhuge Qiao's mood at the moment.
The marriage with the Xiahou family is really a match made in heaven for Zhuge Qiao; Even if it is a decision made behind the Prime Minister's own will, in terms of the Prime Minister's position of defending the Han family, he can agree to it.
"Brother Dingguo, whether my brother can survive in the future is all in the thought of Brother Dingguo!"
Zhuge Qiao got up to bow down and pray, but Guan Ping hurriedly held him up, and hurriedly advised: "Why is this?" Hurry up...... I'll do my best to make it happen! ”
"Brother Dingguo?"
Zhuge Qiao insisted on bowing, looking anxious, panicked, and sincere.
Guan Ping couldn't be stubborn, so he had to let go of his hand and take two steps back, and accepted Zhuge Qiao's prayer gift on the side with a side face.
Only then did he go up and pick up Zhuge Qiao, sit on the edge of the bed together, Guan Ping organized the language and said: "Whether Xiahou Boren is alive or dead is inconclusive. Today, I am going to invite the eldest princess and her wife to go out on a safari, and Bosong must be in good spirits to win favor. Otherwise, if it doesn't enter Xiahou Yuanjing's vision, how can this person walk around for Bo Song and match this matter? ”
Zhuge Qiao nodded again and again, as if he had a backbone: "Yes, just Brother Dingguo!" ”
identifies herself as the daughter of the Xiahou family.
If there is progress in this matter, there will be a legitimate reason to send an urgent letter to Jiangdu!
If there is no progress, there must be a breakthrough.
Personal emotional setbacks, or humiliation are really small matters, and it is important to make the imperial court fully vigilant against the joint actions of the Beifu and Wei armies!
Zhuge Qiao made up his mind, and immediately urged Guan Ping to mediate for him, so that he could get acquainted with Xiahou Xian and his wife, so as to bypass Tian Xin and communicate with the Xiahou family.
The young man was so anxious, Guan Ping could understand it, and immediately went out to find Xiahou Xian and his wife.
It's easy to talk about other people's things, but Zhuge Bosong can't, this is his own painting friend, his best friend, and if he can help, he has to help.
After all, it is a major event in life, and it is unusual.
Guan Ping left, and Zhuge Qiao searched for suitable paintings in his bags as a meeting gift for Xiahou Xian and his wife.
