After the funeral of the Five Kingdoms, Zhao Yong's fame resounded in the Central Plains. This young man, with great courage and eloquent words, not only isolated the armies of the five countries from the Great Wall, but also caused the envoys of the five countries to leave Handan in a gloomy manner. makes people realize that this generation of monarchs of Zhao is a character who is not easy to bully.

And in this contest, the reputation of Pang Nuan of Zhao also spread. Especially when he was eight years old, Wei Jiang, who refuted him, was embarrassed, and he was even more famous, and he made others exclaim genius at a young age.

However, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that Zhao Yongte gave Chengyu, and rewarded him with 100 Yi gold, and named him Shaoqing. It's just that the grade is still young and can't handle government affairs alone, so this young secretary is just a bit of glory.

Even so, Zhao Yong's reputation for attaching importance to talents has also spread to other countries through Pang Nuan's story. People with lofty ideals from all over the world, seeing that Shaojun is eager to seek talents, all come to Handan, hoping to stretch what they have learned in their chests and show their talents. Many of them have made extremely important contributions to the development of the Zhao State.

In the blink of an eye, the time turned to winter, and according to custom, Zhao Yong must lead the ministers to hold a steaming festival on an auspicious day, which is a major event in the life of the people of Zhao and a major event in the Zhao royal family.

On this day, although Zhao Yong has not yet been in power, he still needs to be led by him, leading the ministers of Zhao State to personally go outside Dabei City to welcome the arrival of winter.

Since this was his first appearance, many Zhao people went out of the house one after another to see for themselves what the young monarch who led the Zhao people against the Five Nations Alliance looked like.

When Zhao Yong, with the help of Feiyi, completed the ritual of welcoming the sun, the group traveled through the Great Northern City and returned to the family temple in the royal city to hold sacrifices. At the same time, a group of actors dressed in animal skins and linen clothes and wearing strange wide masks played the song of the Qing Temple.

In short, there are Xuanzun Xuanjiu, raw fish and liquor, first Chen millet grass, then rice and sorghum, and finally a big soup, that is, meat porridge, to show respect for the god of sacrifice.

On the square outside the family temple, the performance of 100 people has begun, and the Wu opera team led by the great witch leads the actors, performing the traditional dance that has been handed down since ancient times. For the wine for the liquor, the ancestors of the Xuan. In order to negotiate a hundred gifts, blessing Kong.

Zhao Yong, who came from 2,000 years later, apparently expressed great interest in this kind of group activity. Maybe it's because the Zhao people like to have fun, so on the day when the royal city is open today, many Zhao people follow the crowd dancing and dance.

No matter what happened last year, but today, it is the last sacrifice of the Four Seasons Festival, and everyone prays, and after today, the wind and rain will be good.

The whole sacrificial activity is said to be very short, but in fact, it is walked back and forth, and the time of the day is also very tight. In particular, the performers who perform the opera almost begin with the ritual and do not end until the hour. And the people are naturally happy to participate in the activities together. So in the evening, the whole performance moved to the Great Northern City, where people continued to dance happily and make noise.

Suddenly, the whole crowd was disrupted by the cacophony of horses' hooves.

I saw a knight in red and blue armor, with sweat on his face. The horses under their crotches were panting, they must have been running for a long time.

However, even these could not surprise people, what was surprising was that the knight's helmet was stuck with three long red feathers, and the knight obviously did not mean to stop in the face of the crowd of performers, but passed through the crowd and hurriedly drove towards the south gate, looking like he was galloping towards the royal city. As he walked away, there was a melodious brass bell tied around the horse's neck, and the eager brass bell sounded.

The red three feathers, the non-stop knights, and the copper bells on the horses, even the people of Zhao who don't care about politics know that this is the so-called "Red Feather Goose Envoy". Like this kind of Red Feather Goose Envoy, they will only be used when there is an emergency military situation, and along the way, they will change horses without changing people, and every time they go to a post station, they can't even take care of eating, so they will solve it directly on the horse.

At this time, when I went to Zhao Wangcheng, it must be a military emergency. I just don't know where there is another war, but in any case, one thing can be proven, that is, the war has started again.

Seeing the procession of the people leave Zhao Wangcheng, Zhao Yong went to the Longtai harem to meet his mother. Since the queen died, she has become thinner and thinner, which shows the deep affection of the couple. However, after waiting for a lifetime, there is only one wife, and only Zhao Yong has a son. After Zhao Yong accepted his fate, he often came to the harem to explain her.

"Is Mother okay today?" After making a big salute, Zhao Yong sat down at the head of Empress Zhao and looked at this kind woman.

"It's okay, but my body is getting worse day by day. Presumably, the day when your monarch will depart is not far off. Empress Zhao sighed and said in a hurry.

"Mother thinks too much. As long as the mother takes care of her body a lot, don't always think about the affairs of the monarch's father, and have a famous doctor to recuperate from the side, she will definitely live a long life. Bian Que once said goodbye to Zhao Yong, saying that he was good at gynecology and was of no benefit to the monarch, and wanted to leave Zhao. How could Zhao Yong agree, to put it mildly, he finally left this future miracle doctor, the current gynecological saint Bian Que, to take care of Empress Zhao.

"Master Bian Que's medical skills are beyond doubt. However, he wants to practice medicine in the world, and he always stays in the palace, I am afraid that he will also leave his people in vain, but not his heart. Zhao Hou said worriedly, she knows very well that the talents at this time are all very high-minded, if he insists on leaving, you can't stay.

"The queen mother, but don't worry, just leave everything to the son." Zhao Yong swore that in fact, he could persuade Bian Que to stay, naturally for his own reasons. It's just not enough for outsiders to say.

Seeing Zhao Yong's confident appearance, Empress Zhao didn't say anything anymore. In fact, she has already felt that Zhao Yong has become more and more calm and cautious since the death of her husband, as if she has a lot of secrets.

Although he had shown his overly ordinary wisdom and precociousness before, in the past five months, his changes have made her, a mother, feel like a different person. After all, Zhao Yong is her only son. knows his son Mo Ruo's father, and he is also Mo Ruo's mother, but since the death of Zhao Suhou, Zhao Yong has not left the palace an inch, so it is impossible to be dropped. And he grew up watching it himself, if it was a drop, it was impossible for him not to see it.

In the final analysis, it was Zhao Suhou who hit Zhao Yong too hard, and the state affairs of Zhao State also made this young prince grow up so quickly. She soothed herself.

However, according to Zhao Yong's age, it is time for marriage, she looked at Zhao Yong's appearance and said slowly, "Although Shaojun has not yet been in power, the wedding matter should be decided as soon as possible." Xianjun and Han Hou had agreed to marry the daughter of the Han family to you, and this matter should not be handled after filial piety, but it was better to discuss it early. ”

"Huh?" This is the second time Zhao Yong has heard others say that he has a marriage contract. Although he does not reject early marriage, he rejects political marriage.

"What's my objection?" Empress Zhao looked dazed, not knowing why Zhao Yong had such a reaction.

"I just think it's too early. Besides, I haven't seen what the other person looks like? ”

"Hahaha, silly boy, this kind of thing is set in advance, but who the specific woman is, the two parties have to agree again. Don't say it's you, even your father, before I got married, the two sides never met. Zhao Hou was a little funny by Zhao Yong's reason, and what was very necessary in Zhao Yong's eyes became a joke in her eyes.

Knowing that the world is like this, Zhao Yong no longer argues, "Then let Uncle Cheng handle it, he can still speak about the affairs of the clan now." ”

Through this preparation of Zhao Suhou's funeral, Zhao Cheng's prestige in the Zhao clan immediately rose and he became an important figure in the clan. And he was very well organized, which made Zhao Yong and other ministers very satisfied, so he organized his own wedding, and he thought of this Zhao Cheng again.

"Very good, so." Empress Zhao nodded and approved of Zhao Yong's decision.

Just as the mother and son were talking happily in detail, a palace man hurriedly walked in and saluted Empress Zhao and Zhao Yong respectively.

"What's wrong?" At this time, ordinary people would not break in without notification, so Zhao Yong asked this question.

"Report to the young monarch," the palace man said to Zhao Yong with a nervous face: "There is news from the main hall just now, there is a police in Pingyi, and you need to hurry back to the main hall to discuss matters!" ”

"What? Really? "It's only been quiet for a few days, and you're going to fight again?

"Your eunuch likes to hold a silk book in his hand and wait outside the palace."

"Okay, inform Xi, let him pass on Zhao Xiang, Master Feiyi, as well as Master Wu Guang, General Pang Cong, to the side hall to discuss matters."

"Yes." The palace people hurriedly retreated, and Zhao Yong also turned around and excused Zhao Hou to leave. What the palace people said just now, he already knew about it, so he didn't keep it anymore and let Zhao Yong go.

"But remember, listen to the opinions of the masters, and don't make decisions lightly. National affairs still depend on these ministers, and this is also to ensure that my son has a good image before he is in power, and once something goes wrong, there will be adults to carry it. ”

"Got it, Mother, I'm going." With that, he turned and left the main hall and headed for the main hall in front of him.
