Chapter Seventy-Two
"How do you feel today?" In the brightly lit hall, Zhao Yongzhi retreated from the other palace people, hugged Han Yan, and said gently, "My son-in-law was naughty today." ”
That's right, Han Yan is happy. This may be the happiest thing for Zhao Yong after the Battle of Zhongshan. In the past, he played with flowers, although it was said that it was for his career, he also failed a few women, and he was reborn in this life, and he was used to bloodshed and death, and he felt more and more that the continuation of life was precious. What's more, everything he says and does must be in line with etiquette, even if he has Wen Ji's thorny rose, he is naturally not as often by his side as Han Yan, and he gets more moisture. The two of them were newly married, so they naturally lingered for a long time, and finally a few days ago, Han Yan felt unwell, and after Bian Que's diagnosis, she announced that she was pregnant.
This news can make Zhao Yong happy, but also let the whole Longtai up and down are filled with a happy atmosphere, it can be said that since Zhao Suhou, Zhao State affairs have been bumpy, Zhao Yong is also a very deep monarch, not smiling, Mrs. Jun is also after the widow, mostly heartache, often miss the ancestors, so the entire royal city, are difficult to see laughter.
Even when he got married, Zhao Yong was never so happy. He asked a group of eunuchs to run around the entire royal city ten times, shouting "Madame is happy!" ", which made everyone in the royal city happy. Because it means that there is a successor to the country.
"It's honest, but I don't know, is it a man or a woman?" Han Yan leaned on Zhao Yong's side with the tenderness of a first-time mother. She was born in the royal city of another country, and she has long been accustomed to the rope camp dog Gou here, so in the royal city of Zhao State, things are handled in an orderly manner, so that people can't find problems. I'm afraid even she forgot about herself, in fact, she is nothing more than a girl in the age of broken melons.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yong took her in his arms, sniffed her long hair, and left all the questions behind, what is the hegemony of the Seven Kingdoms, what is the intrigue, get out of the way. "Both men and women are orphans' children, and orphans are equally happy."
After hearing this, Han Yan's heart naturally overflowed with sweetness. Of course, in her heart, it is naturally best to have a boy, so that her position as Mrs. Zhao Wang will be consolidated. "It's better to be a boy, and you can also help the king share political affairs."
Master Fei Yi said the same. Zhao Yong said happily, "That day, Gu and the master mentioned this matter, and asked the master to help come up with a name, and the master and Gu discussed for a long time, and felt that it was better to take the word 'chapter'." ”
"Zhao Zhang?" Han Yan frowned.
"Yi said: Auntie, meet also, soft meet rigid. Don't use a woman, don't be with a long. Heaven and earth meet, and things are salty. Just met Zhongzheng, the world is also a big business. The time of the concubine is great. Zhao Yong said, to be honest, in this era, he has read a lot of ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty, such as "Yi" and read it several times, "The so-called encounter between heaven and earth, and the salty chapter of things, is the encounter between men and women, which is the reason for the growth and prosperity of all things." Although the dirt hexagram says that one yin and five yang meet each other, it is not possible to grow with each other. However, if the monarch and the minister can separate their positions and follow the path of chastity, the future will naturally be flat. Saying that, he gently held Han Yan's pretty face, and said gently: "Our son, it is the gift of you and I who meet, I hope that he can grow up strong, follow the path of chastity, and inherit the foundation of Zhao Guo." ”
Han Yan's eyes lit up, and she naturally understood what Zhao Yong meant, that is to say, this child is destined to be the future king of Zhao Kingdom!
"If that's the case, the concubine will thank the king here first." As she spoke, Han Yan was about to stand up and prepare to salute, but was stopped in her arms by Zhao Yong and kissed her fiercely. When Zhao Yong was about to make the next move, Han Yan hurriedly stopped him.
"I heard that yesterday, Chan'er learned a new musical instrument, you might as well go to her and sit there." Han Yan said apologetically.
Listening to what he said, Zhao Yong seemed to see the little girl who saw him off outside the palace gate on the day of the expedition. Although a few days ago, he took Chan'er out of the city at night, and after he came back, he also stayed in her palace, but when he thought that Chan'er was still a girl in her prime, he always felt too sinful. Maybe his hands were stained with blood, and he had long forgotten about his sin, but the remnants of the so-called old thoughts in his heart still made him not turn into a wolf on a moonlit night.
"Forget it, the night is dark, Chan'er must have fallen asleep, so I still don't bother her. Lone is here with you, talking to you. ”
"Hmm." Han Yan nodded, and the sweetness in her heart was even worse. No matter how great a woman is, she would never want her beloved man to be a flowery person, even if she shares it with her sisters. Although this kind of thing will happen sooner or later.
"Jun Shang seems to be very sad lately, I don't know if Yan'er can help you out." She said obediently. In fact, this kind of thing can't be hidden in the court, let alone that she is now in such a sensitive matter.
"Well, there is something indeed. But..."Zhao Yong's arm around Han Yan gradually loosened, hesitated for a while, and said, "I want to go to Linzi." ”
"Your Majesty, this trip must not be." In the main hall of the White Tiger Hall, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Yong and glared angrily, even he was worried that he would not be able to help but walk over and beat Zhao Yong violently, so that this kid would remember that he had his uncle.
"The old man also feels that the attitude between Qi and China is unclear, and there is a possibility of war between the two countries at any time. If the other party knows your identity, I'm afraid it will ......" Zhao Bao glanced at everyone present and said slowly.
Of course Zhao Yong knew what he meant. The last time I went to Linzi, he was still a good boy, and many people didn't care about him, so no one did anything to assassinate him, but now it's different. Not only did Zhongshan want to get rid of it quickly, but Qi also attached great importance to this monarch. What's more, Zhao Yong's series of reforms in China have touched too many interests, and it is inevitable that no one will do anything that endangers his life. What's more, the war with Zhongshan has just ended, and many things are still being handled, if Zhao Yong leaves at this time, many things will be more troublesome to deal with.
This is also where Zhao Yong is more entangled. He is not worried about his personal safety. Zhao Yong and Wen Ji exchanged letters frequently, and more and more information about Qi entered Zhao's intelligence agency, making Zhao's intelligence collection of Qi more and more efficient. It is no exaggeration to say that after entering Linzi, most of Zhao Yong's safety will depend on the "flying bear".
Of course, for himself, Li Zhuo would definitely follow him, Zhao Yi still had to stay here and lead the black-clothed army to protect the royal city, only he and Fei Yi made Zhao Yong more at ease.
"Your Majesty, the Zhongshan Kingdom has just finished fighting, and I am afraid that there will be a suspicion of reciprocation. What's more, after the war, the country's vitality has not yet recovered, and everything is still waiting to be decided by the king. We must also guard against the treacherous and wicked people, who take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the king! After Fei Yi weighed it, he also came out to oppose it.
Four ministers, three opposed, although Wu Guang did not say it explicitly, but from his eyes, there was no support for him, Zhao Yong knew that he wanted to visit Qi State privately, and he could only do it temporarily. So who should be the right one?
"Who, then, should be sent?"
"Zhao Jue was the envoy of Qi last time, if he can visit again this time, he should be familiar with it, and this is the best candidate."
"Exactly."
"In order to protect the safety of the envoys, a team of men needs to be arranged to protect them. Captain Zhao Yuan has a well-trained personality, calm and alert, and is enough to be the person who guards him. ”
Zhao Yong thought about it and did not object. For Zhao Yuan, it's time to give him some heavy responsibilities and experience. However, these two people are relatively calm, and Zhao Jue's overall view is also good, but whether they can make Qi State withdraw his troops still lacks a bit of domineering and change.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Qi State and persuade the Qi State to withdraw its troops." Le Yi seemed to understand Zhao Yong's meaning, and saw that there was no suitable candidate for everyone, so he went out to respond.
Zhao Yong's eyes lit up, Le Yi was indeed a suitable candidate. "In this case, it will be troublesome sir."
Looking at the backs of Zhao Yong and Le Yi leaving, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at each other, Zhao Cheng was in front, Zhao Bao was juxtaposed, and Fei Yi and Wu Guang followed, slowly walking down the steps of Longtai. Zhao Bao said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I will try my best to oppose it, otherwise this time, I am afraid that you will have to leave Handan again and sneak to Linzi." What a king who can't be idle. ”
"Jun Shang was quiet when he was a child, I don't know why, the older he grows, the more his words lose his proportion, but the more he likes to act." The only one who can say this kind of thing is Zhao Cheng. As he spoke, he glanced at Fei Yi behind him, and the subtext was that Zhao Yong's current appearance was all due to him, the master. The four of them are all old demons in the political arena, how can they not know?
The old man felt that this was not bad. Speak and act sensitively, and the way of a gentleman is also. As long as the king says what he says, he will think about what he will do, and what he will do will be true. With our help, there should be no trouble. ”
Zhao Cheng knew that he couldn't argue with Feiyi, so he naturally didn't bother to reply, and continued to walk with a straight face.
"In any case, Le Yi can be regarded as temporarily getting rid of the messy things here in Handan, and the old man has to pick up the aftermath of the army again." Wu Guang found a stall and said with a wry smile. Le Yi actually doesn't have a specific position, and Shangqing is just a fictitious position, just an advisor to Zhao Yong. When he came back this time, Le Yi was arranged to assist Wu Guang in dealing with post-war affairs, mainly responsible for the reorganization of the troops and the payment of severance expenses.
Yes, taking advantage of the fermentation of Li Dui's case, when Zhao Cheng and Zhao Bao had to avoid it, they were reluctantly passed. It's just that unlike Zhao Yong, who thought of the payment of severance pay for all personnel in advance, severance pay is only paid for those who are incapacitated, and those who are blind or disabled can still work, there is still no severance pay. At the same time, all slaves who participated in the war, without major military merits, were not entitled to severance pay, even if they were incapacitated.
Although there is a big gap between this "severance pay 2.0" and the version in Zhao Yong's heart, it is enough for him to be praised by Zhao Guo, especially those so-called slaves, who did not expect to receive pensions from the state, and are even more grateful to Zhao Yong. So much so that this good deed spread to other countries, and many displaced people and slaves came to Zhao one after another, raising a small upsurge of immigration to Zhao State, which was unexpected by the ministers of Zhao State.
