"Tian Ji has returned to Linzi?" Zhao Yong put down the book in his hand and looked at Wu Guang and Le Yi who came to report.

"Not bad. The information just sent to Tian Ji and Sun Bin has already returned to Qi State. However, Sun Bin has resigned and returned to the fiefdom to concentrate on writing, and only Tian Ji has returned to Linzi. Le Yi said, "Moreover, it is said that Tian Ji also supports the Qi State in attacking the Yan State, and he also wants to unite with the Song State." ”

"Together with the Song Kingdom?" Zhao Yong's fingers tapped on the table, put down the book, and sneered, "It seems that there is one more Tian Ji in Qi Kingdom, and the weather is completely different, and he will no longer fight alone." ”

"It's not necessarily Tian Ji's idea." Le Yi said, "I'm afraid I have some relationship with that military advisor." ”

"Yes, after Sun Wuzi, the use of soldiers is like a god, in his eyes, Kuang Zhang's young generals are still not enough. It's a pity that it can't be used by my Zhao country. ”

Zhao Yong had heard about Sun Bin and knew that this was the great god of the Warring States, if he could have this person to help, the military sector would definitely not have to worry about it anymore, so he sent someone to look for it, and finally found it, but he also said that he was unwilling to come to Zhao State, and Zhao Yong also knew that he couldn't ask for it, so he didn't think about it anymore. Unexpectedly, now, he is back in Qi country.

"It doesn't hurt. In short, our purpose is not the Qi State for the time being, Tian Ji and Sun Bin are old after all, and they can't protect the Qi State for too long. It's just that at this point, we plan to encourage the Song State to send troops, and we can't do a lot. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Let Fu Ding not go to the Song Kingdom for the time being, just wait and see what happens. Zhao Yong said, suddenly thought of something, and turned his head and asked, "Over there, how is the situation in Zhongshan?" Didn't you say a few days ago that the King of Zhongshan refused to send troops to Yan Kingdom? ”

"Yes, Sima Qian did say so, but in the past two days, there seems to be some changes."

"What's changed? Let's hear it. Zhao Yong put the book in his hand on several cases and walked between the two.

"Sima Xi is indeed a person who is proficient in the art of power, he knows that with his identity, it is impossible to convince the King of Zhongshan, but it does not affect him to come up with other methods at all." Le Yi sneered.

"This person is a wolf and a son, I heard that his father said before his death that he was the wolf of Zhongshan, hehe, it seems that he knows his son Mo Ruo's father."

"Not bad. Sima Xi saw that his suggestion could not be successful, so he found Yin Ji to help. At the same time, he bribed the favored retainers of the crown prince of Zhongshan to speak ill of him. ”

"Huh? What does this mean? ”

Because the prince hated Sima Xi, Sima Xi asked this favorite minister to speak ill of himself in front of the prince, and encouraged the prince to let Sima Xi lead the army to Yan Kingdom. If the expedition fails, Sima Xi will definitely die, and the success of the expedition is also the power of the prince's recommendation, and he Sima Xi is just doing what he should do. ”

Zhao Yong thought about it carefully, yes, this Sima Xi's hand of playing with people's hearts is really powerful. It made him think of this trick. "Hehe, if this prince believes this, he must also be a mediocre person, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Actually, he can't be blamed for that." Wu Guang said on the side, "The king of Zhongshan has been old for a long time, and he was once ill, but he didn't expect to recover in the end. It's a pity that he has no military power, and the ministers don't support it, so if he can help Sima Xi to Xiangbang, he will also have a humerus person, and those unhappiness can be put aside temporarily. ”

Zhao Yong shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that this right could add some cannibalism between father and son.

"In that case, let's wait for the good news from Zhongshan. Listen, if Zhongshan does not participate in the affairs of Yan Kingdom, the plan will remain the same, and the affairs of Zhongshan will not be delayed. ”

"Yes."

"That's right. You say, we use Sima Xi so openly, will Sima Xi not be aware of it? ”

"With his shrewdness, how can he not perceive?" Le Yi said, "It's just that at this moment, if he doesn't rely on our Zhao Kingdom, who else can he rely on?" Qi country? I'm afraid not. As long as the king promises him prosperity and wealth in the second half of his life, he must be willing to do something subversive for the king. ”

"Glory and wealth, the widow will not be stingy, but how to give, the widow has to think about it." Zhao Yong said, and led the two of them to the White Tiger Palace. The five ministers of the White Tiger Hall work here every day, and Zhao Yong will also go to this place every day to see, if there are some urgent matters, they can be dealt with in advance, and there is no need to wait for them to report together. And Zhao Guo is now preparing to use troops in Zhongshan, and there are more things to deal with here, and Zhao Yong is moving around more frequently.

"Speaking of which, how is that son-in-law doing in Yan Country at the moment?"

"It's not good, it's not bad. Hostage, how can it be so easy. ”

"Find an opportunity to bring him to Zhao Guo. First, let's get in touch first, so that we can act later, and second, the widow really wants to meet this ambitious son. ”

"Although this person is a hostage of Yan Kingdom, he has a demeanor and is not a mortal. I thought that if this person became the King of Yan, he might not be an ally of my Zhao Kingdom. ”

"Therefore, the widow is not ready to hand over the throne of King Yan to him. This position is too important for Zhao Guo. Zhao Yong said, suddenly a cool breeze blew, and he couldn't help but sneeze. Wu Guang and Le Yi hurriedly put on a cloak for him, and Wu Guang couldn't help but say: "King, although this internal and external matter is big, you can't rush it. Please also ask the king to pay more attention to his body, the current affairs of Zhao Guo cannot be without the king! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I've been tossing and turning to the side lately, and I can't sleep."

"The king is because of the Northern Expedition?" Le Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Not really." Zhao Yong tightened his cloak, "It's because of a dream." ”

"A dream?" Wu Guang and Le Yi said in surprise. Most of the monarchs of Zhao are very concerned about dreams, because Zhao has been extended to this day because of dreams, and most of the Zhao kings in the past dynasties were superstitious about witch blessings. This matter is not uncommon in this era, Le Yi and others are also very superstitious, but among the other princes, the monarchs of Zhao State believe it extraordinarily.

When he arrived at Zhao Yong, he was naturally even more convinced. Not only because he himself came to this era in a dream, but even Zhao Yong's soul once dreamed of him, which made him, a materialist, have to believe in these things. It was the last garden dream that really made Zhao Yong's soul reluctant for several days, and he never had the opportunity to recruit people to interpret his dreams, and it just so happened that Wu Guang and Le Yi were not outsiders, so they told their dreams.

"The widow really wonders what is going on in this dream, and it is difficult to fall asleep tossing and turning today."

"If that's the case, it's better for the king to order someone to interpret the dream as soon as possible." Le Yi suggested.

"Yes, it will make people interpret dreams for the widow in a while." As he spoke, he continued to walk towards the White Tiger Palace, and just after taking two steps, he felt something strange behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Wu Guang staying in place, looking incredulous. The others also noticed Wu Guang's strange appearance, and Fu hurried back and shouted Wu Guang's name twice. Wu Guang didn't pay attention to it, and only muttered to himself there. Seeing this, Zhao Yong also retreated, shouted twice, and didn't see him reply, just muttering "impossible" and "impossible" words. Zhao Yongrangfu shook Wu Guang, Wu Guang woke up, saw that everyone was looking at him, and quickly leaned over to plead guilty.

"What did Sima have in mind? How fascinated is it? ”

"Old man... The old man didn't dare to say. ”

"What don't you dare to say?"

"Because... Because of the dream that the king just said, the old man may be able to explain a thing or two for the king. ”

"Oh? I didn't expect Sima to know about this witch blessing, haha, no wonder you said it was impossible. Zhao Yong said jokingly, "Okay, Sima might as well explain one or two, and the widow will not be punished." ”

"This... Old man..."

"If you don't say it, you won't be able to avoid it." Zhao Yong said solemnly, in fact, where would he really embarrass Wu Guang, just find him happy.

"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Guang wiped his sweat, stood up tremblingly, calmed down, and said slowly: "The reason why the old man didn't dare to say more was because of the dream that the king said, the old man had heard her mention it, but there were some differences, some of the same. ”

"Is there such a thing? It's really the world's biggest, and there are no surprises. Let's hear it. ”

"Yes. This person said that she once dreamed that in a large garden, she dreamed of a wonderful man, heroic and extraordinary. The scene in the dream she said was the same as what the king said, and listening to her description, it was a coincidence that the king looked like him. It was just now that the old man was so out of shape. ”

"Oh? Who is that man? Zhao Yong was interested.

"Little girl Meng Yao."

"Meng Yao?" Zhao Yong thought for a while, "I remember, it was the little girl who greeted you at the city gate when the widow returned from Zhongshan." Hehe, I think about it in the past few years, and I have reached the age of marriage. I don't know which boy has such a blessing. ”

"Alas, although the little girl is not young, no one has yet promised to marry."

"There are still people who look down on the daughter of the Sima family, it's really not long-sighted, it's okay, if he has a suitable son in the future, the widow will definitely decide this matter for you."

"No, no, no." Wu Guang continued, "Since the little girl and Lu, there have been countless people who have come to the door to propose relatives, and all of them have been rejected by the little girl. The old man was also heartbroken for this matter. ”

"It seems that she has an intention in her heart." The fire of gossip in Zhao Yong's heart suddenly burned. It seems that gossip is a thing of all ages.

"That's true." Wu Guang didn't hide it, "The old man asked many times, and she finally said that she had dreamed of a heroic man in a dream, so she never forgot it, and felt that there was no such hero in the world, so she rejected everyone." ”

Wu Guang said that when he got to this, if Zhao Yong didn't know what he meant, he would really be a fool. But when I thought of it, this matter was too nonsense, I felt that Wu Guang didn't have a good heart, but if what Wu Guang said was true, then this matter would be amazing.

The old man didn't believe it at first. However, what the king said just now turned out to be similar to the things in the little girl's dream, and the little girl had never seen the king, and the description of the king was similar. What's more," Wu Guang looked at Zhao Yong's eyes and continued, "The king's description of the woman in his dream is exactly the same as the posture and appearance of the little girl!" ”
