That night, Zhao Hongrun returned to King Su's Mansion in a huff. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It's no wonder that he is angry in his heart, after all, with his background and current status, there are almost no friends in the true sense.

Even the closest Zongwei can't be counted, after all, the Zongwei are centered on him, don't look at sometimes like Mu Qing, Lu Mu and others making jokes about him, but in fact, these jokes are very measured, and even sometimes, Mu Qing is just pretending to be stupid to make him happy.

Do you really think Mu Qing is stupid enough to tear down His Royal Highness? What are you kidding, Mu Qing's intelligence and wit are among the best among the guards.

If you can't say everything in your heart without scruples, you are doomed that the Zongwei will not be able to become true equal friends, but only humerus henchmen.

Thinking about it carefully, there are indeed very few people who will say all the things in their hearts without scruples in front of Zhao Hongrun, and Mi Jiang is one.

Of course, it refers to the ginger who used to have a black belly and a poisonous tongue, but recently, the ginger has settled down a lot for some reason, which is quite like a famous lady getting closer.

In addition, it is almost impossible to find a truly equal friend in the entire Wei State, but in the Chu State, there is also a Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo who can be regarded as a friend of Zhao Hongrun.

After all, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, is irritable by nature, and many times he lifts the table when he disagrees, don't look at Zhao Hongrun who is now supporting him behind his back, but as long as Zhao Hongrun dares to bully the two sisters of Mi Jiang and Mi Rui, I believe that Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, will immediately turn against Zhao Hongrun.

And in addition to Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, there may only be Qin Shaojun who met when he was hunting in Chenggao two years ago.

But today, I don't know why, Zhao Hongrun always felt that something was wrong with Qin Shaojun, who should be regarded as a friend, as if he was deliberately trying to dissociate himself from him, and two of the three sentences had the smell of gunpowder, so that in the end the two broke up unhappily, which made Zhao Hongrun feel very depressed.

When having dinner with the women in the mansion, almost everyone could see that Zhao Hongrun was unhappy.

No, even the most noisy stupid girl on weekdays, Mi Rui, is also An An at the moment, with a pair of eyes staring at the delicacies on the table, but she doesn't dare to grab it directly with her hands without scruples like she does on weekdays.

Maybe seeing that the atmosphere at the dinner table was too dull, Miss Su turned her head and glanced at Mi Jiang.

Now in King Su's Mansion, they have the highest status, because Miss Su is the object of Zhao Hongrun's first taste, and she is dignified and virtuous, except for her poor background, the rest meet the conditions of Shen Shufei's daughter-in-law; And Mi Jiang is just the opposite, her background can be said to be the right one with Zhao Hongrun, but unfortunately this woman is expressionless all day long, which does not quite meet the requirements of Wei Tianzi and Shen Shufei for their daughter-in-law.

But even so, the status of the second daughter in the Su Wangfu is still extremely high, and she is one of the very few women who can persuade Zhao Hongrun.

It's just that Mi Jiang, who has a cold temperament, will hardly take the initiative to coax Zhao Hongrun to be happy, just like at this moment, she doesn't look at Zhao Hongrun, she eats and drinks soup slowly by herself, and doesn't look away.

In fact, if Princess Yulong was present, she would be able to persuade Zhao Hongrun, after all, Zhao Hongrun's spoiling of Princess Yulong was like a sister.

But it's a pity that Princess Yulong is not here today, so I went to Yiwang's Mansion to find Uncle Zhao Yuanling, after all, these days, the Uncle Six Princes has never come to visit Princess Yulong, and the latter feels uncomfortable.

So, Miss Su could only comfort Zhao Hongrun by herself.

"Who made our Highness angry again?"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look at Miss Su, and the latter's gentle and quiet intimacy made the entanglement in Zhao Hongrun's heart fade a little.

He hesitated for a moment, and then told the story of meeting Qin Shaojun in the city today.

“…… You don't know it, but Una and Mi Jiang should know that it is a prince of the Qin State who met two years ago when he was hunting in Chenggao......"

……

At this time, Mi Jiang was drinking soup suddenly, and glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a strange expression, but no one noticed.

"Qin people, ......"

After listening to Zhao Hongrun's story, Miss Su didn't know how to persuade her, after all, she also felt that it was difficult for Zhao Hongrun and that Qin Shaojun to become friends, after all, the current Wei State, for various reasons, had a bad relationship with the Qin State, and no one could guarantee whether the two countries would become enemies.

So, she was smart and immediately changed the topic: "Runlang, is there anything important about that prince of Qin coming to my Great Wei this time?" ”

"Who knows." Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders, then pouted and said, "But in my opinion, there is a chance that there will be a trouble." ”

"Why is that?" Miss Su asked in surprise.

Zhao Hongrun exhaled lightly and explained: "Because of the relationship between the Wei family, it is impossible for my Zhao family to admit the invasion of Longxi by the Qin State, otherwise, the Wei family will definitely have to jump up, and my Zhao family's face will not be able to get by." …… In the final analysis, Longxi is also the ancestral foundation of my Zhao family, how can it be possible to acquiesce to the Qin State to occupy it? …… And it is obviously impossible for the Qin State to exchange Longxi. Therefore, when the Qin envoy submits his credentials tomorrow, I believe the scene will be very exciting. ”

As soon as the words fell, someone next to him asked softly, "Are you going?" ”

Zhao Hongrun turned his head suspiciously, only to find that the person who opened his mouth to ask was actually Mi Jiang, who had not cared about this kind of thing in the past.

He nodded and said, "I'm going to check it out." …… Cheralhe of the Wubian tribe, as well as Wei Fu, Wei Ji, and Jiang Wei of the Wei clan, all said that the momentum of the Qin State in recent years has been very strong, and it has the meaning of pointing at the Central Plains, and it is necessary to guard against it. …… If the Qin State really intends to get involved in the Central Plains, then Sanchuan County or Hedong County will inevitably become their target of attack, and when the time comes, my Great Wei must curb the momentum of the Qin State, otherwise it will ......" Speaking of this, he shook his head.

Qi Jiang quietly listened to Zhao Hongrun's words, and then said softly: "I'll go with you tomorrow." …… I'm full. With that, she put down her chopsticks, left her seat, and left by herself, leaving only Zhao Hongrun and the girls with a surprised face.

Everyone present was surprised, after all, in the past, when Zhao Hongrun was only active in Daliang, Mi Jiang almost did not follow, let alone take the initiative to make requests.

"Your sister...... What's the situation? Zhao Hongrun asked Mi Rui, he felt that today's Mi Jiang looked a little weird.

"My sister?" Mi Rui tilted her head and said blankly, "My sister is fine." ”

"Asking you is equivalent to asking ...... in vain," Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Sure enough, when Zhao Hongrun got up the next morning, he saw Mi Jiang kneeling in the front hall of the main hall of the north house drinking tea, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you really going with me?" Zhao Hongrun asked with some surprise, after all, in his impression, Mi Jiang had never cared about the state affairs of the Wei State, and it was hard to imagine that he would take the initiative to ask and follow Zhao Hongrun to the Ministry of Rites.

"Hmm." Faced with Zhao Hongrun's re-inquiry, Mi Jiang responded concisely and clearly.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and took Mi Jiang to the Ministry of Rites.

According to the traditional etiquette, after the diplomatic envoys of other countries arrived in the Great Liang of Wei State, they could not directly meet Wei Tianzi, but the Ministry of Rites came forward to determine the identity of the other party.

Think about it, after all, Wei Tianzi is not something that can be seen casually.

But then again, the status of an envoy who visits another country is not low in his own country, and it is impossible for a county commander of a country to visit the king of another country as an envoy, because such a thing is a great humiliation to the other party and will provoke a war between the two countries.

At the same time that Zhao Hongrun and his entourage went to the Ministry of Rites, in the side hall of the Ministry of Rites, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was personally receiving the envoy of the Qin State who entered the city yesterday.

In addition to Qin Shaojun, who Zhao Hongrun recognized, there were also two middle-aged people who seemed to be in their thirties and forties, that is, the chief envoy and deputy envoy of this envoy team.

After the two sides met with each other, the chief and deputy envoys of the Qin envoys each presented a brocade-like table to Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which was an important object used by the envoys to prove their identity, echoing the national documents they carried.

For example, in the table that was opened and viewed by Du You at this moment, some information about the chief envoy of the Qin State was recorded in detail: Gan Xu, ranked as the secretary of the Central Secretary of the Qin State, and the young concubine (retainer) under the seat of the Zuo Shu Changwei Martingale (Prime Minister).

In layman's terms, this Gan Xu is the retainer or staff member of the Qin State's Zuoshu Changwei Ying, and he is ranked as the Zhongqing in the Qin State. Note: The secretary is divided into the upper secretary, the middle secretary, and the lower secretary.

Don't think that the status of the Zhongqing of the Qin State is not high, in fact, before the reform of the Qin State, it was impossible for people who were not from the royal family to win the surname to hold positions in the Qin Palace.

What's more, this person is also a retainer under the Qin State's Zuoshu Changwei Yingmen, which is like saying that Gan Xu is the mainstay of the Qin State's reform faction.

Of course, even if these things are Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, I am afraid that it is not very clear, but fortunately, Du You has a person who helps Du You today, that is, Zhao Sheng, who has just held a position in the Ministry of Rites and the Zongfu at the same time.

I saw that under the inexplicable gaze of several Qin envoys, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, presented the watch to Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the court, and asked the latter to distinguish the authenticity.

Under the indifferent gaze of several envoys of the Qin State, Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Qin State, carefully looked at the table presentation, especially the seal of the King of Qin and the seal of the Qin State on the table, nodded after half a ring, and said: "Lord Du You, the table is confirmed to be correct, and it is indeed from the Qin Palace." ”

His words made Gan Xu, Qin Shaojun and others look at him twice.

After all, Wang Xi and Guoxi, who are so familiar with the Qin State, unless they are from the Qin State, then they can only be people from the Wei clan in Longxi.

Seeing that Zhao Sheng had confirmed the identity of the other party, Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also put away a little vigilance, nodded and said politely: "At this time, the matter is serious, and I hope that the envoy will not blame the mansion for being too cautious." …… Now that the identity of the envoy has been confirmed, please show me the credentials of your country, and this government will present them to the king of my Great Wei. ”

Gan Xu nodded, took out a wooden box about the length of an arm from behind him, opened the box, took out a file tied with a ribbon from it, and handed it to Du You with both hands.

And Du You also took it with both hands, and then carefully dismantled it in front of the Qin envoy.

This is not mainly for peeking, but to confirm the authenticity of this credential and whether there is any threat hidden.

Of course, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is no problem for Du You to take a look at the national letter, as long as it is not revealed to the public.

No, during the inspection, Du You quickly glanced at the national letter, but unfortunately this national letter was written in the script of the Qin State, and he couldn't understand it.

But it doesn't matter if he can't understand it, Zhao Sheng, who is next to him, can naturally understand it.

However, after a cursory look at the national letter, Zhao Sheng, the monarch of the Emperor, suddenly showed displeasure on his face, and said with a sullen face: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

Du You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, he saw a chuckle coming from outside the hall: "Who is bullying people too much?" ”

The familiar voice made Qin Shaojun raise his head involuntarily.

How did he get here? (To be continued.) )
