Chapter Eighty-Five: Continuing to Defeat the Country

However, the matter of witchcraft and medical skills, that is all a later story, after Ji Fa led the soldiers back, let the soldiers all return to the Xiqi camp, and then rest for three days, the soldiers saw their companions, and they all excitedly recounted what they had seen and heard in Shu this time.

Ji Fa happily looked at the happy scene of the soldiers, and at this time Ji Fa only felt a chill.

He turned around and saw that Taigongwang was looking at him with a smile, and his back was in a cold sweat.

Ji Fa suddenly felt that there was nothing good, but Taigongwang said.

"The king has worked hard all the way, it stands to reason that you are tired from the journey and should rest more, but...

When Ji Fa heard this, he rolled his eyes and knew that something was wrong with him, so he said: "Oh, Taigong, you are in a hurry to kill me, tell me what is going on." ”

"Zhou Gong...

After a while, the mansion of Duke Zhou.

A few dilapidated rooms, Zhou Gong was lying on the bed alone with a mournful voice, he had been cold for two days, and he originally planned to endure it, but he didn't expect it. The condition has become more and more serious in the past few days, not only has there been no sign of improvement, but it is getting worse and worse, and now he is afraid of the wind and cold, lying on the bed tightly wrapped in a thin quilt, where he is shivering.

"Hey, I haven't been to the court for a few days, so I'll go to the Hall of Virtue tomorrow."

"Still going, master, you are not afraid of your body and bones, can you stand it, come and I will help you up, I will go to grab the medicine, I can't delay it any longer, your cold will become a serious illness if it is not cured." The maid said.

This maid is also a personal maid rewarded by the Duke of Zhou after he became a minister in the Zhou State, and has served him for several years, although the Duke of Zhou is much younger than the Taigong Wang, but the perennial state work has made him much older than the middle-aged people of the same age.

"Huh? Fill? No, no, no, these are all knife coins for us to eat before the re-issuance, so we must eat it urgently, otherwise there will be no food to eat. When Zhou Gong heard that he was going to spend money on medicine, he immediately frowned, and his face turned bitter melon color.

"Hey... You, you live such a poor and honest life, not to mention ordinary ministers, even old men like Taigong live better than you, why do you bother? The maid said helplessly.

"Hey... It is not easy for my Zhou country, in this troubled world, the Shang country has been eyeing my Zhou country, the king is exhausted, and he goes to every major state event in person, the king is so virtuous and so tired, as an auxiliary minister of the country, I naturally have to do my best, cough cough cough... Help me up and drink saliva, and I'll go to the Hall of Virtue later, oh cough cough cough. ”

Zhou Gong was helped up by the maid, still coughing constantly.

"Oh, you lie down quickly, don't talk about this anymore, you can rest assured that prescribing some medicine will not affect your money, I will use my own money to catch medicine for you." The maid was distressed and helped Zhou Gong to lie down.

After Zhou Gong lay down, he said, "This... How can this be done, you are a servant, I am the master, and the money should be paid by me. ”

The maid twisted angrily and said, "This is not good, that is not good, you are trying to give a good idea, and then you will die of illness." ”

At this time, Ji Fa came to Zhou Gong's residence, and the desolation he saw at a glance shocked him.

The medical officer who came with him said, "The king, this is the residence of Duke Zhou." ”

Ji Fa said: "How... It's so miserable, does Duke Zhou live here? ”

"Yes, the king, the house originally allocated to the Duke of Zhou, but it was sold by the Duke of Zhou, and the disaster in the south caught up, and the Duke of Zhou sent all the money obtained from the sale of the house to the victims of the disaster, so that they lived here." The Medic said with a sigh.

"Zhou Gong is really the pillar of my Great Zhou." Ji Fa sent a sentence of admiration from the heart.

He turned to the courtiers who had followed.

Then he walked in, the medical officer followed closely, and Ji Fa just walked in, and happened to hear the conversation between the maid and Zhou Gong.

So he blurted out movingly: "How can you let the pillars of the country die?" Isn't the lonely king really a loner? ”

When the maid saw Ji Fa coming, she knelt down directly, and Zhou Gong saw that the king was coming, and she struggled to get up from the bed, and then wanted to kneel on the ground, but was held down by Ji Fa.

"Zhou Gong... Lie down and don't move. ”

"This... This old minister is terrified, and the old minister is very disrespectful. Zhou Gong was restless on the bed.

"Hurry up and give Zhou Gong a diagnosis and treatment, do you have all the medicinal materials with you?"

"King Not."

The doctor treated Zhou Gong for a while, and then immediately took out the medicinal materials from the medicine box he carried, handed them to the maid, asked her to boil the medicine immediately, and then explained some details.

"Wang, as long as Duke Zhou takes the medicine on time, there will be no big problem, and he will be cured soon, or the king is thoughtful, and directly let the lower officials even bring the medicinal materials." The medical officer said in admiration.

"The King... Wechen has tired you. ”

When Zhou Gong heard this, he was moved to tears.

"Okay, you have worked hard to go back." Ji Fa said to the medical officer with a smile.

After the medical officer took his leave, Ji Fa sat down next to Zhou Gong and said, "Brother, you... Hey, you're ashamed of me as a brother. ”

Ji Fa was a little embarrassed to look at him, and Zhou Gong immediately sighed when he heard Ji Fa call his brother.

Since he assisted Ji Fa, the ministers and the king of Wu have called him the Duke of Zhou, and the title of younger brother has not been heard for a long time. Since King Wu ascended the throne, the Duke of Zhou has hidden himself, fully assisted Ji Fa in governance, and tried every means to guide Ji Fa to be kind to the people, and his reputation was far and wide, while he was deeply hidden, and he was dusty and did not leave merit and fame.

"Brother, you must not say this, this is the duty of the minister, you are the lord of my Great Zhou, your words and deeds are related to the national fortune of my Great Zhou, so the younger brother is desperate to assist you, think about it for you, so as not to let the decree not work, the people are not satisfied, and let the princes submit, in the face of the temporary respect of the Shang State, so as to be able to keep the peace of my Great Zhou." Zhou Gong said.

After Ji Fa came to this world, he felt that someone shocked him for the first time, unlike Taigongwang, Zhou Gong's kindness to himself is the kind that is hidden behind the scenes, and will never be easily noticed and known, unlike Taigongwang, who appeared in front of the stage and can be remembered by the world, this is so unfair to Zhou Gong, he has paid so much silently behind his back, and everyone only remembers himself, but without him.

"Suffer, brother, if my father is alive, he will blame me when he sees you like this, I have arranged a house for you, and I will take you to live after drinking the medicine." Ji Fa cried.

"The King... Other... In this way, the state of Zhou is still very poor, and the treasury is still relatively empty, so we must spend this money on the people and win the hearts of the people, only in this way can the foundation of my Great Zhou rule be stable, and as for the ministers and brothers who are not suitable to live there, these houses are very good. Zhou Gong said truthfully.

Ji Fa saw that he didn't listen to the good words, and immediately said stiffly: "Brother, aren't you a subject of my Great Zhou?" Now the king of solitary has decreed that you should live there. ”

Duke Zhou was very moved, and had no choice but to say: "Brother obeys the king's order." ”

Seeing the king's kindness to himself, Zhou Gong couldn't say anything that was moved, this kind of good is a sincere word, not an imperial technique of benevolence to himself, it is a sincere good to himself from the heart, Zhou Gong can feel it, in Zhou Gong's opinion, Ji Fa is good to his younger brother, from the bottom of his heart, which makes him very touched and happy.

"The medicine is ready."

The maid came in with the medicine, Ji Fa directly brought the medicine bowl over, and then asked the maid to go down and clean up, ready to move to the big house to live, and the maid happily went to clean up.

"Thank you, Wang En, if you sleep at night now, my family won't have to say that it's cold."

The maid left, Ji Fa looked at Zhou Gong with a smile, and Zhou Gong waved his hand embarrassedly.

"This maid really needs to be disciplined." Zhou Gong said with a smile and embarrassment.

"Hahaha, I think there is a lack of such a person around you, and the person who takes care of you and disciplines you is right." Ji Fa said with a smile.

Zhou Gong sat up embarrassedly, ready to take the medicine bowl in Ji Fa's hand and take the boiled medicine himself.

But Ji Fa directly held the bowl in his left hand and the soup spoon in his right hand, and began to feed Zhou Gong medicine.

"This... No, the king, let Weichen come by himself. ”

"Don't you listen to your eldest brother's orders? Sit down and drink the medicine. ”

So Zhou Gong had to accept it, and the soup spoon that Ji Fa took was fed with the medicinal soup spoonful by spoonful, and in this way the medicine was drunk by Zhou Gong, although the medicine was very bitter, but today for Zhou Gong, everything is very sweet.

After drinking the medicine, Zhou Gong got dressed, and after the maid packed her bags, it was at this time that the courtiers brought the carriage over, and under the command of Ji Fa, they quickly brought all the things of Zhou Gong to the carriage, and then headed for the new house.

Soon in Xiqi City, near the palace, a spacious house with three entrances and three exits, Ji Fa let the carriage stop at the door, and then got off the carriage to direct the subordinates, and began to place all the things on the carriage in the house.

After Zhou Gong got out of the carriage, he saw such a big house, and all the furniture in it had been properly arranged, and then Ji Fa helped Zhou Gong, and the maid also helped Zhou Gong, and came to the new house to lie down.

"If the king has a lot of words, the younger brother won't say much, and the younger brother will go to the Hall of Virtue as soon as he recovers from his illness."

"Hey, that's what I want to hear, I'll come to see you another day, I'll go back first."

Ji Fa saw that the Zhou Mansion was almost settled, so he got into the carriage and walked to the palace.

"Hey, today's life is very meaningful." Ji Fagang breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage stopped outside the palace, and Ji Fa had just walked into the palace.

"The King..." Suddenly jumped out of the roadside, too public.

"Oh mom... Scared the lonely king to death. ”

Ji Fa was defenseless, and was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Taigongwang.

Taigongwang smiled, then hurriedly knelt down and said, "I'm shocking the king." ”

"Alas, it's too much, please get up quickly, hey, next time I walk with a little noise, I suddenly came out and scared the lonely king."

After Ji Fa helped Taigongwang up, Taigongwang looked at Ji Fa with a smile, and Ji Fa only felt that the chill in his back came out again, and the bad feeling came out again.

"This king ... You should be resting, so please go back to the palace and rest. ”

Taigongwang said with a smile.

Ji Fa breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally fine, and just wanted to go back to the dormitory, but he didn't expect Taigongwang to bow his head and say a word.

"King, the recent state affairs are in your bedroom, when you can't sleep, you can re-review it, this is a major matter of the country, and it can't be delayed."

Ji Fa almost stumbled and fell, then hurriedly walked away, and hurried towards his dormitory.

"I'll know there's nothing good going on, okay okay, he's right, it really should be like this."

After Ji Fa returned to the dormitory, he immediately began to deal with state affairs, and unfolded all the books that Taigong wanted to approve again, and then approved them again.

"Hey... Seeing that there is no good thing for Taigongwang today, he is also stubborn, but it is also a major national event, logically speaking, it should be approved by me before it can be issued, I will no longer complain, it is what I should do, it seems that I can't be lazy anymore. ”

So Ji Fa reluctantly re-read the national policy book that Taigongwang had approved, and reviewed it again.

"The prince is looking for you."

"Ask him to come in."

Ji Fa was bowing his head and seriously replying to the national policy book.

"Hahaha, I've finally approved this last one, and I can take a break." Ji Fa stretched.

"That's it, ah... It's so tiring. Ji Fa knelt on the ground, lying on the table, relaxing his body.

At this time, Taigongwang held a stack of books, walked in quickly, and then walked in front of Ji Fa, and suddenly stumbled and fell, and the books in his hand fell to the ground.

Ji Fa suddenly felt that something was wrong with the sound of this book, and when he looked up, he was directly shocked, and the book, which was half a table high.

"King, hehehehe, there is still such a stack left, you are really hardworking, you have already dealt with so many state affairs documents, you can just handle these."

Taigong looked on the ground and hurriedly packed up the book, then picked it up again and put it on the table in front of Ji Fa.

The sound of "bang" made Ji Fa's heart shake with me.

"The king, it has spread all over the world, you rewarded Duke Zhou with a big house, and the ministers have praised you for your generosity."

"From now on, all the ministers who are honest will be arranged by Zhou Guo, so that they can work hard for the country without having to think about it."

"This... Isn't it a bit extravagant? Taigongwang said with some concern.

【Flood system is being activated】

【Arrogance +1】

"Although the lonely king is extravagant, but the lonely king is happy, you loyal ministers of the country finally have your own residence, the lonely king is happy, this reputation is willing to bear it."

"The king's kindness, Weichen repays with death." Taigongwang was moved to cry and knelt down and said.
