Chapter 14: Study Secrets

He turned around again and looked at Zhao Qian in front of him, and now, he was finally in the mood to take a closer look at this beauty.

In the era when there is no plastic surgery technology, Zhao Qian's goose egg face is a natural beauty, coupled with her good skin and attention to maintenance, she is fat and thin, even in modern times, she can be called a big beauty.

When he first crossed over, in the face of life and death, Zhao Xie complained that God was unfair to him; Now, Zhao Xie felt that God was not bad to him, and gave him this beautiful wife who thought about his husband.

Facing Zhao Xie's gaze, Zhao Qian felt that the current husband was different from the previous husband, not only the speech and demeanor were very different, but more importantly, the temperament and charm were different, if it weren't for the body and face, it could be said that it was completely two people.

Before entering the city, Zhao Xie made an appointment with Li Zuoche to meet around Shenshi, there was still half an hour left, now was not the time to stay in Gentle Township, and he was hungry.

Zhao Xie patted Zhao Qianxiang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, eat with the widow!" ”

He walked to the door, opened it, and stepped out.

Zhao Qian, who was still intoxicated by her husband's nourishment, hurriedly came back to her senses and followed.

When he came to the dining room, Zhao Xie ordered someone to serve the food.

In this era, the height of the table in the dining room and elsewhere was much lower than in modern times. Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, people generally knelt and sit, and tables were made according to the appropriate height when kneeling.

Fortunately, this body was born and raised in ancient times, and Zhao Xie would not feel uncomfortable when he knelt and sit.

After a while, the eunuch Ling Li came to the dining room and said respectfully: "My lord, I learned that you are back today, and the queen has specially ordered the dining room to prepare your favorite dishes." ”

Knowing that King Zhao was coming back today, Zhao Qian prepared the ingredients in advance, and when King Zhao arrived at the gate of the city, Zhao Qian sent someone to notify the dining room to cook.

The palace maid brought several dishes, including mutton soup, roast mutton, chicken, venison, and vegetarian dishes.

Zhao Xie tasted the chopsticks.

In this Qin and Han dynasties, the main condiments were maltose, honey, vinegar, plum, tempeh, and Sichuan pepper, which were not as rich as in modern times, but the dishes made were in line with Zhao Xie's taste, so that he could eat with relish.

Zhao Qian dined together, she moved Sven when she ate, and she ate very well.

Guangwujun's mansion, after Li Zuoche came back, he hurriedly changed his clothes, and then had dinner with his family, he had a wife and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

This time, Li Zuoche ate faster than usual.

His wife said: "Lang Jun, after you set out on the expedition, Zhi'er concentrated on reading Jiang Taigong's "Liutao", there are many incomprehensions, and when you return from the expedition, you can finally teach Zhi'er well." ”

Li Zuoche's son's name is Li Zhi, twelve years old, under the influence of his father, he has a strong interest in the art of war, has read a lot of military books, and often asks his father about what he does not understand.

Li Zhi ate faster, as if he couldn't wait, he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Li Zuodao: "Father, you eat quickly, the child is suffocating!" ”

In the past, Li Zhi was able to ask his father about what he was puzzled about when he read the military books, and his father came back from the expedition for more than 20 days, and he piled up a lot of questions to ask.

The son is so diligent in studying, Li Zuoche was very happy, touched Li Zhi's head, and said: "For my father, I still have important things to go to the palace to meet the king, and I will teach you well after I finish it." ”

Li Zuoche quickly ate a full meal, and then went to the palace.

——————

In the palace, shortly after Zhao Xie was full, the chamberlain came to report, and Li Zuoche asked to see him.

Zhao Xie came to the study, and the chamberlain quickly brought Li Zuoche.

"Greetings to my king!"

In the study, after Li Zuoche saluted, Zhao Xie asked him to sit opposite, and then withdrew the chamberlain and the palace maid, and closed the door.

"King, the Han army is temporarily retreating, when it comes again, there will be many soldiers, food and grass are abundant, as long as Liu Bang does not die in seizing the heart of the world, Zhao State will not have real security, we don't have much time, what we plan to do, we can't delay for a moment."

"The widow understands, Li Aiqing, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhao Xie himself has future plans and specific implementation methods, but after all, it is only what he thinks, and Li Zuoche is more familiar with the situation of Zhao Guo than the original Zhao Xie. He should listen to Li Zuoche's suggestions, communicate with each other, and discuss the most feasible methods.

In the past few days, the minister has thought about it, and it is divided into several steps. First, depose Chen Yu and cut off his minions; second, to rectify the army and the government; third, send troops to Yan State; Fourth, seize the state of Qi. The first three must be completed within a few months. ”

Zhao Xie nodded in agreement.

Li Zuoche said again: "Lu Tian and Gong Zhi were promoted by Chen Yu, if they can catch the evidence of their crimes, Chen Yu will naturally not be able to get rid of them, and they can be deposed from the position of prime minister in this name." Chen Yu's power is deep-rooted, and although he is no longer a general, his cronies in the army will still obey him.

The capital and the palace city must be firmly controlled by the king before he can attack Chen Yu, so that Yang Fu can be in charge of the capital garrison and Yu Wei can be promoted to guard the palace city. Sikou Cao Wan has the heart to enforce the law impartially, but he was previously photographed by Chen Yu's prestige, and his cronies cannot be investigated and punished, if the king can support Cao Wan, he will definitely be able to find out the evidence of Lu Tian and Gong Zhi's crimes. ”

Cao Wan is a capable person, and Chen Yu also knows his talent, and promotes him to serve as a secretary to maintain the law and discipline of Zhao State, but there is a condition, that is, Chen Yu and his cronies cannot be touched, otherwise, not only will he lose his black yarn hat, but he will even worry about his life.

Zhao Xie nodded in agreement again, and then said: "What Aiqing said can't be brought forward by a widow, someone needs to come forward to impeach Chen Yu first, do you have a suitable candidate?" ”

Li Zuoche said with a firm expression: "Tomorrow in the court, the minister is willing to impeach Chen Yu in person!" ”

Once Chen Yu is impeached, it is equivalent to tearing his face with Chen Yu, which may cause Chen Yu or his cronies to retaliate, and if he does not do so, he will lose his life.

Zhao Xie said: "Li Aiqing, have you thought about it?" ”

Li Zuoche's expression was firm and unchanging, and he said: "King, for you, for the sake of Zhao State, the minister is willing to go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”

With this talented and loyal courtier, Zhao Xie was pleased with this.

For the second and third steps, Li Zuoche and Zhao Xie have their own ideas, but they must be based on the premise of completing the first step. The two discussed the details in this regard.

The two of them spoke quietly, and even if there were people by the door or window, it was impossible to hear what they were talking about.

——————

Chen Yu's mansion is luxuriously decorated, there are many maids and servants, and the standard of living is not lower than that of King Zhao. Chen Yu himself is the prince king-acting king, and this standard of living is recognized by the previous king of Zhao. It's just that not long ago, Daiguo was wiped out by Han Xin's army.

Chen Yu's feudal kingdom was destroyed by Han Xin, and not long ago he lost his position as the general of Zhao Guo, and he was extremely disappointed.

Soon, while he was still eating and drinking, die-hard elements came to his door to report the situation.

"Report to the general, since ten days ago, the news of the battle of Jingcheng has spread in the city, and in the folk rumors, it is very unfavorable to you. Among them, there are two elders who have said many times outside......"

The one who reported to Chen Yu was a commander of the army left behind in the capital, named Lu Ta.

Lu Tatar had no outstanding skills, and he was mean to his subordinates, and he was promoted to the commander of the capital only because of his good relationship with Chen Yu, and many subordinates were not convinced.

"I've eaten the gall of a leopard..."

Chen Yu himself was in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he was furious on the spot, and ordered Lu Tatar to arrest the two of them.
