Chapter 25 The Flirting Period

On the second day of Zhao Yong's wedding, the entire Zhao Kingdom also began to quiet down, but some of the things that followed were also quietly resolved.

After a cordial conversation between Zhao Yong and Zhang Kai, the two sides exchanged views again and established a trade agreement between the two sides in the next two years, the specific content of which was Zhao Yong's proposal to "exchange horses for bows and crossbows". The two sides hope to use the next two years to establish a trade mechanism of mutual trust, and if possible, to establish a deep trade relationship in the future.

Since Zhang Kai was named ambassador plenipotentiary, he naturally also represented the king of Han and expressed the position of South Korea, but Zhang Kai asked again, hoping that Zhao Guo could help South Korea fight against Qin at the right time. Although Zhao Yong did not give a clear answer, he still implicitly expressed support for South Korea's legitimate behavior.

In this way, based on the principle of mutual benefit and mutual trust, the two sides signed what should be regarded as the first bilateral trade agreement between countries in the history of China and even in the history of the world, and fixed it in the form of bamboo slips and silk books, which were exchanged and preserved. Of course, Zhao Yong had no idea about such a milestone event, and what he could be sure of was that through this agreement, the southern part of Zhao could be temporarily stabilized. Wei would definitely not risk being caught between the two countries to invade Zhao, and Korea and Wei naturally blocked the threat from Chu for themselves.

The second thing is that Zhao Yong took Bo Ji to formally worship the Zhao family temple, and ordered Bo Ji to be his wife, and Zhong Ji, who came to marry, was the young lady. This can be regarded as establishing the harem master of Zhao State. Zhao Yong's mother is also quite satisfied with Bo Ji, although the time is still short, but Bo Ji is in an orderly manner in handling the affairs of the harem, and it is not bad at all, and even the palace people praise this lady. Since then, Zhao Yong no longer has to worry about his harem affairs, and can devote himself to the government affairs of Zhao State.

The third thing is that the generals of Daijun, who were recalled to attend the wedding of the monarch this time, were finally rewarded, not only received by Zhao Yong cordially, but also ordered to rest in Handan for a few days, and important orders will be issued. Although everyone wants to know what is so mysterious, people like Zhao Xifeiyi know that Zhao Yong can't wait to make arrangements for the Northern Expedition to Zhongshan. Of course, they will not go around talking, but seize this rare time to reunite with their families and face the coming war with a fuller spirit.

Of course, before that, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with.

There was a "squeak", and the sunlight shone through the crack in the door and into the room.

The furnishings of the room are very simple, but they are also luxurious enough, at least there are a few desks and chairs, curtains and green plants, which are quite ingenious and not placed at random. Even the carpet in the center of the room is full of luxury, not to mention the bed in the side hall, there is a complete tiger skin.

Such a room is rare in the guest rooms of the entire Dian Ke Division, because the standard of this room is only qualified for the princes and the prime ministers, and others are not qualified, so they can only choose the side room with bad sunlight or bad scenery, which is like this one, opposite the pond, and the lotus flowers that have not yet withered.

Ziqi raised his head, and through the sunlight, he saw two people coming in. A man with gray hair, but still strong in leather armor, especially the muscles that are faintly exposed, you can't even give him the word old man. At least the child has seen that this old man's immediate kung fu is indeed first-class.

And next to him, there is also an old man. Unlike the former, the old man's figure was a little rickety, wearing traditional dark clothes, his hair was also gray, and the wrinkles on his face showed his age, he was behind him with one hand, and he was holding his beard with the other, looking at himself with interest. It seemed to him that he was like an animal.

"Yan Guo is a general, and it is really an honor to be here, and the old general comes to take care of it." Ziqi said in a slightly desolate tone, and he adjusted his posture to make himself look more promoted, not in that sad situation. It's just that as soon as he spoke, that lonely tone exposed his state of mind again.

"The general is polite, the old man is here today because he has a happy event to inform the general. I believe that after hearing this, the general will be very satisfied. Zhao Xi stood at the door and said with a smile.

"Oh? I don't know if your monarch is gracious and ready to let Zai return to Yan Kingdom? If this is the case, I feel that there is no need for it, and the general can tell your monarch that he will return to Yan Kingdom with a guilty body, and I am afraid that he will not escape death, and it is not bad to be able to enjoy his old age in your country today. Ziqi said, his words were full of indifference, and he seemed to really feel that he had stayed here for a long time.

Zhao Xi saw Ziqi say this, and glanced at the person next to him. This time, he was not the protagonist, but the one next to him was, so Zhao Xi didn't interject, but looked at him, not knowing how he was going to answer.

"The general's words, although it is a great blessing for the Zhao country, but the envoy of your country has offered to redeem the general, in line with the friendship between the two countries over the years, our monarch has agreed to your country's request, willing to send the general back to the country, without taking a penny."

"Oh?" Ziqi smiled faintly, "I don't know who your envoy is?" ”

"It's not just fat and righteous, but it's Zhao Guosikou. I came here today to inform the general that I could return to China today with the envoys of Yan who came to watch the ceremony. In order to express his apology, the king is also willing to give the general a hundred gold, and the right to make compensation. Fei Yi said.

"It turned out to be Master Feiyi, I have been looking up for a long time, please take a seat." Zi Qi had heard of Feiyi's name a long time ago, and knew that he was the patriarch of Zhao State, and he was also the master of the current Zhao State, and he was also the minister of Zhao Suhou's trust. Since these words came out of his mouth, they were naturally true. But this gourd must be filled with medicine, otherwise, why invite Feiyi to come?

"Don't dare, please." Fei Yi said, stepped forward with Zhao Xi, and knelt in front of a few cases. Zi Qi skillfully took out two teacups from the tea set of several cases, and poured out the tea from the pot. The yellow tea soup with temperature instantly warmed up the cold atmosphere.

Speaking of which, tea is a thing, for the history of Chinese beverages, it will take a long time to develop. Under the influence of Zhao Yong's crossing, and the circulation of merchants from the Bashu region to Handan, tea has become Handan's new favorite. Although the child is a newcomer, he has gradually fallen in love with this thing, and he drinks it every day, but he doesn't have a lot of love.

After greeting each other, Ziqi finally couldn't help but speak: "Don't hide it from Lord Sikou, although Ziqi is homesick, but he was defeated and captured, he has already lost face, how can he still return to Yan Kingdom?" If you really return to Yan Kingdom, won't you be scolded and killed? ”

"Why should the general blame himself for this?" Fei Yi said, "Since ancient times, how can there be no reason to be invincible? The general should not give himself such a big burden, and it is only right to return to China as soon as possible. ”

"With such a big defeat, naturally someone must be responsible, the sub-period is not good at leading the troops, as a general, how can he shirk his responsibility?"

"Eh, the general's words are wrong." Fei Yi sat down and said calmly, "On that day, General Zhao had already negotiated with the envoy of Yan State, and he believed that the reason why the general was defeated and captured was instigated by Zhongshan State, so that when your country surrounded our army, he was too tired and led to the defeat of the army. It is the general who is innocent. ”

When the child heard this, he sneered in his heart. Although he knew that he was not wronged by this defeat, but had learned more lessons from his marching and fighting, but when he heard that Zhao Guo had shifted the responsibility to Zhongshan Guo, he could vaguely understand the intention of these two people to come here.

"If that's the case, I really have to thank General Zhao for being able to support Yu Mou as always at this time." The play still has to be performed. Ziqi looked at Zhao Xi with a "crying" expression, which made Zhao Xi suddenly feel a little chilly.

"The old man is just seeking truth from facts, and the general should not be excited. This time, I came here for the common enemy of the two families. ”

"Common enemies?" The sub-period was "at a loss".

Of course, this matter was all caused by Zhongshan instigating the relations between the two countries, otherwise with the exchanges between the two countries, there would definitely be no accident. Therefore, our monarch is very angry and wants to prepare for the uprising of the righteous army and the crusade against Zhongshan to repay the hatred that has lasted for many years! Fei Yi said.

"This..."Ziqi put down the teacup and thought for a while and said: "Although I can return to China, I am soft-spoken, so the matter of sending troops to Zhongshan is really not something that can be decided by the next." ”

"The general misunderstood." Fei Yi said mysteriously: "This time, my lord hopes that Yan Guo will not participate in this matter, and Zhao Guo will settle accounts with Zhongshan in one fell swoop." ”

"This?" Ziqi suddenly had some doubts, not knowing what Zhao Guo meant.

"My country's monarch once said that he is willing to marry Yan for a hundred years. It's just that Zhongshan is going around instigating relations between the two countries, and if it is not punished, it will definitely not work. It was to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Zhongshan. Avenge the incident between the two countries. As for the general, he can go back to Yan Kingdom smoothly, and by the way, bring back greetings from Zhao State. ”

"Don't you have any requirements from your monarch?" Ziqi played with the teacup and said with a little meaning.

"Naturally, there isn't." Fei Yiyi said righteously: "My lord also hopes that he can ask the general to bring greetings to Brother Ling." He also said that as long as the Xiangbang of Yan State is Brother Ling, Zhao State will always conclude friendly relations with Yan State. ”

Having said that, the sub-period is a little confused. I don't know what the purpose of Feiyi's benefits falling from the sky is. But listening to the meaning of Feiyi, it seems that he values his brother more, isn't it..?

"What Mr. meant just now seems to be that he values his brother very much." Ziqi said cautiously.

"Naturally. My lord said that Brother Ling is the minister of Yan State, and Yan Country has such a prosperous scene, and it depends a lot on Brother Ling's preparations. In order to express his admiration, the monarch is willing to undertake the crusade against Zhongshan. Saying that, Fei Yi lowered his body, leaned into his ear, and said quietly: "If you can, the king is even willing to support Brother Ling and become the new king of Yan Kingdom!" ”
