Chapter 80: The Chess Pieces Are Settled

"Sima Xi gave Gu a problem." Zhao Yong smiled bitterly and put the bamboo slips on a few cases, and looked up at everyone.

Siqing, Le Yi, and Wei Yi looked at each other, not knowing what Sima Qian said. Zhao Yong asked Fu to pass the bamboo slips to everyone, and said to himself: "To be honest, I really don't know, what kind of medicine is bought in this Sima Xi's gourd?" ”

After everyone finished reading it, the expressions on their faces were different, but after reading it, Wei Yu laughed: "It seems that the king of Hongluan Xing has moved." We were just discussing how to marry with the Chu State, and Sima Xi was ready to give the concubine of the King of Zhongshan to the king, and he was really a wonderful person. ”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Wei Yi say such a joke. Indeed, the matter of marriage with Chu has been discussed by everyone for a long time, although the current queen needs to be taken into account, but everyone still has a very agreeable opinion on this matter. The reason is very simple, with the identity of Zhao State now, and Chu State can also be regarded as a door-to-door household, if you can marry Chu State, first, you can find out the attitude of Chu State on many issues, second, you can also solve the crisis between South Korea and Chu State by the way, and most importantly, provide support for the next actions of Zhao State. Although this marriage may not be very profitable, in any case, the superficial work still needs to be done. It's because there is really nothing to worry about about marriage.

The only thing to worry about is Zhao Yong's attitude at that time. Zhao Yong's pure heart and few desires are beyond everyone's expectations, except for the queen and Han Qian, he has nothing to do with the palace people in the palace, which makes the ministers exclaim incredible, some people even suspect that Zhao Yong has a physical problem, or that the two Korean princesses are jealous, although there is no "seven out" now, but it is really not very good to spread out, it is because Han Qian has also asked Zhao Yong to choose another concubine many times. Only Zhao Yong knows that he is not a decent gentleman, but he can't do it if he chooses two people casually as a forbidden.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Wei Yi and others suggested to Zhao Yong that they ask for marriage from Chu State, and the two families will marry. Even if he hated political marriage, but with Han Qian in front of him, he had no choice but to agree to it. So he decided to take Feiyi as a messenger and ask for marriage from the state of Chu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the matter was finalized, I received a message from Sima Qian.

"Sima Xi's intention is nothing more than to use the name of the king to threaten the king of Zhongshan to establish Yin Ji as the queen, in exchange for the trust of the king of Zhongshan and Yin Ji." Le Yi said, "If this matter can be successful, it seems to be quite beneficial to my Zhao Kingdom, and it seems that the king should agree to this matter." ”

"Not bad. The king sent Sima Qian to help Sima Xi, the purpose was nothing more than to continue to maintain a good relationship with Zhongshan through him, and the purpose was to help him ascend to the throne. As for the process? Haha, although it is fragrant, it can be regarded as a good story. Wei Yu continued to say jokingly.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, there was really nothing to do about Wei Yu's absurd and uninhibited character, but fortunately, what he said was not unreasonable.

"Xiangyan, don't worry." Zhao Yong also smiled and said, "What's more, Gu just sent a letterhead to make King Zhongshan believe that Gu likes this Yin Ji and wants to ask King Zhongshan to give Gu." It's a pity that I can only sacrifice my hue alone, but I haven't seen him in person. ”

Everyone burst into laughter again, "However, if the king really wants to, as long as he sends troops to besiege Lingshou, even if he can't beat it, presumably the king of Zhongshan will sacrifice Yin Ji for himself." When the time comes, won't the king be able to see the truth? ”

Zhao Yong smiled bitterly and waved his hand again and again, it's okay to act on the spot, if you really want him to accept other people's wives and concubines, he really can't stand it, although this kind of open atmosphere is nothing in this era, but for him, it is not good.

"That's the end of the conversation. Have the two of them already left Handan and rushed back to Yanguo? ”

Zhao Bao was in charge of this matter, he took two steps forward, and responded: "Since I saw the king that day and got the king's permission, Ziqi has returned to Yan on the second day." Presumably, with the permission of the king's chief, Zizhi and the others will definitely be more determined in this matter. ”

The matter of Yan Kingdom is indeed quite funny. Who would have thought that in today's troubled times, the princes of various countries have no immutable laws to try to be strong, and their measures are nothing more than rewarding ploughing and strengthening power. But the king of Yan was interesting, he actually felt that he was not capable enough, so he decided to give up his throne to his ministers. Since the three generations have fallen, Xia Qi has become the leader of the tribal alliance and started to live in the world, King Yan is the first country to implement the Zen concession system, and it can be regarded as a clear stream.

"What is King Yan talking about, wanting to give up the throne to Zizhi?" Zhao Yong looked at Le Yi.

Le Yi is in charge of Zhao Guo's military intelligence network, and after the promotion of the Chinese military Hou to the White Tiger Palace, it has always been in charge of Le Yi, and I am afraid that only he has the right to speak in this matter.

"Since Yan Guo has been relatively quiet before, there is not much threat to my Zhao Kingdom, but I have always known very little about the affairs of Yan Kingdom. After a certain summary, it is about the following reasons. ”

"First, Yan Wangxu himself attaches great importance to the customs of ancient times, and he has a better reputation and does not pay attention to practice. For many years, he has relied on the state of Zizhi to handle government affairs. Zizhi himself has studied the great achievements of King Yan, and has repeatedly organized various ceremonies for him in order to please King Yan, so as to reassure King Yan that he will hand over political affairs to him; ”

Second, King Yan did say many times that he had no intention of doing general affairs, but he never had the heart to give in. What really makes King Yan firm in this Zen heart is two people. The first is Shangqing Lu Maoshou, and the second is Su Qin's brother Su Dai. ”

"Su Dai, it's easy to understand." Zhao Yong and the others walked out of the main hall and walked down the steps. On the wide field in front of the dragon platform, there is a worship platform. Generally, when the army set out, the kings of Zhao in the past dynasties were here to command the tiger talisman and the golden drum, which were the things that commanded the battle, and awarded the general in front of the ministers and soldiers to show solemnity. After Zhao Yong ascended the throne, he repaired and expanded more, and now the scale is different from the past.

"If you are new to Yandi and want to be appointed, you can only please Zizhi and others in power, otherwise your talent will not be able to show your talents." Zhao Yong said, "I just don't know this Lu Maoshou, since you are the king, why do you respect Zizhi so much?" Could it be that this person really has that kind of kingly spirit? ”

Le Yi couldn't help but laugh: "I don't know what the so-called king's qi is, but as far as I know, the son is eight feet long, has a large waist and ten girths, has heavy muscles, has a wide face and a square mouth, and is full of eleven fat people. ”

When everyone heard that Zizhi turned out to be a big fat man, they couldn't help laughing, and they also wondered in their hearts, how could such a person with a poor face gain the trust of King Yan, so that he dared to usurp the throne of King Yan.

"But Zizhi is quite capable, he is quite neat, quite diligent, frugal, and kind, even as his political enemy, he is quite confused. It has been quite prestigious in Yan Country for many years. To put it mildly, the people of Yan may not have a good impression of King Yan, but for this Xiangbang, they will be grateful to Dade for his tightness. ”

As for why Lu Maoshou admires Zizhi, it is not difficult to guess. This deer hair shou has a daughter, it is said that the country is fragrant and quite beautiful. originally wanted to marry the prince Ji Ping, but was resigned by Ji Ping. So he became resentful, and married the woman to the son of the son, and the two became in-laws. Zizhi once said that if there is a glorious lintel, he will not forget the daughter of the Lu family. Although only the two know whether it is true or false, the relationship between the two is very friendly and is known to passers-by. ”

"Yan Wang Hao once asked Lu Maoshou why there were many monarchs in ancient times, but they all respected Yao Shun and the others. Lu Maoshou replied: "This is because both of them are holy because they give the world to others. Therefore, King Yan was encouraged to cede the throne to his son, so as to achieve the holy name of Yao Shun of King Yan's contemporary. ”

"Although Yan Wangxu is a little ignorant of government affairs, in the name of advocating benevolence and righteousness, he has a bit of the flavor of Song Xianggong." Wei Yi couldn't help but say. Everyone was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Wei Yi meant. Indeed, this is somewhat similar to Song Xianggong, who insisted on not attacking the Chu army in the Battle of Hongshui. The crowd burst into laughter again. Zhao Yong often breathed a sigh of relief, now that the chess pieces have been laid out, as for what to do next, it depends on the destiny of heaven. Today is the happiest day for him.

No, there's another person.

As soon as Wei Zhang was about to enter the main hall, he heard Zhao Yong shouting: "Wait." ”

The guards were stunned for a moment, and were about to retreat, only to hear that Zhao Yong had already walked down the hall, walked in front of Wei Zhang, and looked at the general of the Qin State, who had been in Zhao State for more than half a year, took the key from the guards, personally unshackled Wei Zhang, and then bowed deeply to Wei Zhang.

Wei Zhang was taken aback by Zhao Yong's behavior, saying that in Zhao Guo for half a year, good food and drink were served, except for the lack of freedom of activity, all other expenses were given and wanted, even wandering on the street, although this kind of prisoner's life was free, but Wei Zhang still hoped that it would end as soon as possible. But Zhao Yong has never met him, even if he makes trouble no matter how ruthless, it is nothing more than sending Zhao Bao to send him, whether it is to survive or die, Zhao Bao is ambiguous and does not say no. It was only today that he could see Zhao Yong again. As a result, as soon as they met, Zhao Yong gave himself a big gift first.

"The aggrieved general has been in Handan for many days, and the hospitality is not good, I hope I ask for forgiveness." Zhao Yong looked like a corporal of Lixian.

"The king's mercy is already grand. However, although Handan is good, it is not a homeland after all, and although Zhao is strong, it is not a place of detention. Please also ask the king to raise his noble hand and let me go. Or give me a death, in the name of the whole Wei chapter. As he spoke, he also fell to his knees and couldn't stand for a long time.

"The general is really misunderstood." Zhao Yong hurriedly went to help Wei Zhang up, and said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting, and they are not yet killed. What's more, the general is just recuperating from his injuries in my Handan, so how can he talk about the heart of death? Qin and Zhao were originally neighbors with a strip of water, and the friendship between the two countries was Lone's wish, so if the general could return to Qin and express Lone's willingness to reconcile with Qin, why not? ”

Wei Zhang was completely stunned today, and kept muttering in his heart, what the hell is this Zhao Yong thinking. Then he cautiously asked, "What does King Zhao mean?" ”

"Lonely desire and King Qin are allies of each other, if King Qin is interested, he can choose the time and place to carry out the alliance between the two countries. I also hope that the general can introduce it on his behalf. ”

I'm back, but I'm sorry for the wait.
