Chapter Seventy-Five: What Daughter-in-law? Be a girl!
Towards the afternoon, Sima Zhao and his entourage were finally able to enter the palace, including Sima Zhao, Sima Rou and Sima You, who were being held, and were arranged to face the monarch in the side hall.
Qin Zheng was actually checking the resumes of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, preparing to select a few materials that could be made before they went to the countryside and use them in other aspects.
As a result, Sima Zhao and the others came, and Qin Zheng could only put down his work to meet them, and Qin Zheng was still wondering if this "passer-by" would be more difficult to deal with than his brother?
As a result, as soon as Qin Zheng came in, Sima Zhao hurriedly took his nephew and son to salute respectfully: "Foreign Minister Sima Zhao (concubine Sima Rou) has seen Qin Jun, may the two countries be friendly for generations and the country will last forever!" ”
Qin Zheng returned the salute a little and sat down on his throne and said, "Excuse me from giving the seat, General Sima has worked hard from afar." ”
Sima Zhao hurriedly responded: "For the well-being of the people of the two countries, no hard work, no hard work. ”
If others see Sima Zhao's attitude, they will definitely think that he is a humble and friendly person who is dedicated to the country.
But Qin Zheng has seen history, and Sima Zhao is more domineering than his brother, and almost smashed the last nail for the coffin of Wei.
So Qin Zheng nodded with the attitude of "I nodded what you said, but I don't believe a word", and said: "The Great Wei Emperor is really blessed to have a loyal and righteous courtier like General Sima's brother!" ”
Even Sima Zhao's face turned a little dark when he heard this, thinking that you, King Qin, have begun to support their Sima Shi to usurp the throne, what kind of loyalty are you talking about here? This acting skill is not worse than their family!
Qin Zheng didn't seem to see Sima Zhao's reaction, and continued to speak: "I just don't know if General Sima came this time with sincerity?" ”
Qin Zheng said as he looked at Sima Rou behind him and Sima You who was being held, and began to guess his intentions.
However, Sima Zhao didn't let Qin Zheng think about it for too long, and said straight to the point: "My father, Prime Minister Sima Cheng, wants to ask His Majesty to shake hands with Great Wei and make peace, and release my brother and other Wei people. ”
Sima Zhao's confidence in daring to speak directly lies in the fact that when Qin Zheng first asked the defeated army to deliver a letter, Sima Yi knew that he did not plan to do it, or that he did not intend to start a full-scale war.
Qin Zheng also felt that it was not a good idea to fight with the Sima family at this time, especially since the location of the Sima family was in the north of Shanxi, where the terrain was quite rugged, and the mountains and rivers on the surface were worthy of their reputation, and the Qin army had to pay a heavy price even if they wanted to win!
In the eyes of Qin Zheng, the most important thing for Qin now is the reform of ancient times and the comprehensive liberation of the productive forces. Especially when Sima Yi died, wouldn't Wei be better to deal with?
Moreover, now that the Xuanda of Wei has blocked the march route of Altan Khan, a major battle is inevitable, so it is of course the best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Finally, there is a very important point, Qin Zheng knew that the two brothers of Sima Shi were short-lived, especially Sima Shi, who died four or five years after Sima Yi's death in history.
If Qin Zheng let Sima Shi go back today, the Sima family would still be in turmoil in a few years, and such a force with a little strength but always tied up would be the best ally of Great Qin.
So Qin Zheng nodded very dryly: "I know what Prime Minister Sima Cheng meant, it's not impossible, but you can see ......"
Sima Zhao knew that Qin Zheng wanted him to make an offer, although he was not very reluctant, he still said respectfully:
"My father asked me to bring a letter this time, making it clear that I have no objection to His Majesty's plan to divide Korea, and at the same time gave thirty boxes of gold and jade, one hundred cloths and silks, and all kinds of rare treasures in the hope that His Majesty will accept it."
As he spoke, he held a letter and a gift slip above his head, and Zheng Ling hurriedly stepped forward to take it and gave it to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng looked at the dense gift list of Hanli fonts, and knew that Sima Yi was not just giving a few simple carts of property. However, he was not very interested in these, and he did not even open the letter and said clearly:
"General Sima, we are all understanding people, do you know that I don't value these, I don't know if there is anything else in Lao Cheng's belief?"
Of course, Sima Zhao knew that Qin Zheng didn't look down on gold and silver, so he said directly: "This time, I came here with my niece Sima Rou and nephew Sima You, just to replace my brother and serve Your Majesty!" ”
As soon as Qin Zheng heard that Sima Zhao even said such words before serving, it seemed that he was determined to exchange the three of them for Sima Shi.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Sima Zhao continue: "My brother Sima Shi has no children, Rou'er is his second daughter, she is seventeen years old this year, if Your Majesty is ......."
When Qin Zheng heard this, this is not right, isn't it Lai's hostage? Why is it related to the age of the girl? Is it possible to use beauty tricks on him?
Qin Zheng subconsciously glanced at Sima Rou, only to see that the little girl's face had turned white and red, and her head was even lowered, and the old single dog Qin Zheng couldn't tell whether she was shy or dissatisfied......
Sima Rou's appearance here, Sima Zhao felt uncomfortable, but he still finished speaking: "If Your Majesty has a heart, I hope that you can accept the Wei Palace, which can be regarded as a good concentric relationship between my Great Wei and Great Qin......"
Qin Zheng's idea was verified, and the Sima family was really playing the idea of marriage, and he remembered that in the original history, when Sima Shi's brother was an assistant to the government, he married his daughter to the son of Guo Li, the uncle of the Empress Dowager Guo.
If you calculate the time, then this political victim is Sima Rou, but the Sima family now has a more urgent object to win over - Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng sat on the top seat, and when he saw Sima Zhao speaking, Sima Rou's hand only grabbed the mat, and even his body trembled slightly.
So he guessed that Sima Rou didn't want to marry him, but Sima Rou was very sensible and knew that he couldn't make his own decisions about his marriage.
So for the sake of her father and the Sima family, she is willing to go to this "tiger's den", but unfortunately he doesn't know that Qin Zheng's "tiger" is not happy to be tight!
The reason why Qin Zheng was unhappy was naturally not because he was dissatisfied with Sima Rou's appearance, after all, Wang Lin almost couldn't hold it when he saw the masked version.
And Qin Zheng is really unwilling to have two reasons, one is the concept of free marriage and love developed in the future or in the real society, and the other is that he is not at ease with the two children of Ying Yin Yan and Ying Huhai.
After all, he is half an orphan, and he has seen many adoptive families and reorganized families, so to be honest, it is really impossible to treat everyone as his own.
Coupled with the exaggeration of the soap palace fighting drama, Qin Zheng was a little scared, afraid that Sima Rou, a seemingly harmless little girl, would one day turn into a smiling tiger who eats people......
Qin Zheng is not ready to take risks, unless the Hu Hai sisters and brothers can be independent, he doesn't plan to find a woman, this Yingyi and others seem to have understood, and they have never taught him a book.
But Sima Zhao is a foreign affair this time, and Qin Zheng is not easy to refuse, the women of the Eastern Han Dynasty are no longer as unrestrained as the pre-Qin, and it is not a good thing to hurt the little girl's self-esteem.
So Qin Zheng had an idea, and hurriedly spoke: "General Sima is late, I and your brother have just married as brothers with different surnames, and Rou'er is also my niece."
I now specially crown Sima Rou as the princess of Daqin, and the title is ...... Taiping! After the marriage, I will find a good family for her! ”
Qin Zheng's operation went smoothly, making Sima Zhao look confused and at a loss, and Sima Rou next to him was secretly relieved......
