Chapter 66: The Struggle

Thousands of miles away, it is already the height of summer, and the merchants and princes of this ancient city on the north bank of Yangshui have gathered, and the princes have come to congratulate, and the traffic finally has the appearance of the capital. In more than two months, the Chu army captured Nanzheng, the county capital of Hanzhong County of Qin State, plus the Chu-Yueba coalition army that Yishui invaded Badi, completed the half-moon-shaped encirclement of Bashu, and was fighting with the Qin army on the northern edge of the Hanzhong Basin.

The most direct impact of the military victory was the financial benefit, and the number of people who had repeatedly inquired about the exchange of bonds from the Four Nations Gold Bank had decreased in vain, and the judgment of the Zhao royal court, the Shaofu of Wei, the light and heavy sorcerers of Linzi, and the Qian Mansion of Chu tended to be the same: with the current situation of victory, the first phase of bonds may be directly exchanged for the second phase of bonds to be extended, and it may not be necessary to ask for help from the Ziqian family who have gathered in Yingdu.

This is purely a financial judgment, in fact, every Ziqian family has the shadow of one or more local nobles, Yi doctors or powerful ministers behind them. There has always been a close collusion between power and money, and the issue of treasury bonds turned to the Qian family of various countries in order to cede the Four Nations Financial Bank, which was essentially an economic and financial separation.

Xiong Jing was originally cautious about this, but after understanding this, he changed his normal behavior and supported the Qian family of various countries to take over the Shiguo Gold Bank in order to crack down on his political enemies, who he increasingly hated. Several Taifu and Zhu Aozhong's Zhao Huang, Lan Hao, and Dong Ye Gu believed that they should not indulge those rich and unkind Ziqian families, let alone let them control the Shikoku Gold Bank.

Knowing the summer of Changming, the battlefield thousands of miles away had no waves, and the Chu army steadily advanced towards the Qinling Mountains; The prosperous Yingdu is treacherous, and there are countless gossip flying between the music and dance banquets, which are either related to the Qian family of the national debt, or related to the queen Mi Xuan.

"The princess is waiting to give birth, and the day after the palace tells the temple will end, this queen ......, how much is your wine mixed with water?" A cup of jujube wine was poured into Zhou Wen's throat. If he didn't be Bing's doorman, he couldn't respond to several people who lobbied, and he lived a life of eating the last meal without the next meal.

The nobleman laughed. The shopkeeper who passed by was stunned by Zhou Wen's question, and when he saw more drinkers, his smile was even more earnest, "This wine is sent by Zhu Fanggang, and the sealing mud on the barrel has been inspected, and there is no damage in the slightest." ”

"Zhu Fanggang?" West Asian jujube wine has a jujube fragrance that other fruit wines do not have, and the fragrance fades when mixed with water, and Zhou Wen, who has finished pouring a cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "It is their maritime merchants who mix water, and the jujube wine I drink in Sangha is strong and strong, and this wine is not comparable."

"Only. Indeed, this wine is inferior to the wine of the Sangha. Noble people drink slowly, drink slowly. The shopkeeper was greatly relieved to see that Zhou Wen had put the blame on the maritime merchants, and the eyes of the drinkers full of blame also took it back, and continued to talk and drink.

"Dare to ask sir, what will happen to this queen?" Zhou Wen is a guest, and there is also Sima Yongya of Peixian County, his heart Xiao He, and then Zheng Rong, who is the guest of the east. Zheng Rong was quite concerned about the queen's affairs, and immediately asked Zhou Wen when he saw Zhou Wen returning to his senses.

"The princesses of the nations married into the Chu palace in March, and after March, they should sue the temple, and they should be in bed after the temple, but the king does not stay in the palace, and it is not known whether Zhao Nu is the queen of Chu." After saying a word, Zhou Wen poured another glass of wine. Zheng Rong and Yongya glanced at each other, their eyes wandered, but Xiao He on the side had some disdain for Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was a guest of Chun Shenjun, and later a guest of Shouling Jun, and he also stayed in Xiang Bojun for a period of time, and later resigned. The year before last, he went overseas at the invitation of the Bing family, went to the monk Luojia, and learned that Xizhou could make money to hire soldiers, but the Bing family did not listen to his plan, so he abandoned the Bing family and returned. It's a pity that from last year to this year, no one has ever lobbied successfully, and hiring soldiers to fight has gradually become a joke.

This banquet was originally invited by Zheng Rong and Zheng Gongzi, and he just met this person on the road. Compared to the first acquaintance of the year, the status of the two sides has reversed. Because Zheng Rong considered himself a Zheng person on the slip, he was just a citizen of another country living in the Chu State; Yongya is the Sima of Pei County, and it is not impossible for him to be in the right dynasty every day, and he is a nouveau riche of the Chu State. Although the status has been changed, fortunately, Zheng Rong has been treating each other politely before, and this conversion has not affected the friendship between the two parties.

"Sir, what do you think if the king doesn't tell the princesses of the nations about the temple?" Zheng Rong asked, after looking at each other.

"There are more than 400,000 teachers of the nations, if the king does not sue the princess of the world......" Zhou Wendao. If the king and the princesses of the countries sue the temple, the government of the Chu country ......"

Zhou Wen patronized and drank, and said a lot to the point. It was precisely because he stopped when he clicked that Zheng Rong and Yongya felt itchy in their hearts.

Zheng Rong's goal is to get back to Zheng, but this is an idea that can't be put on the table. Zheng Guo was killed by Korea, and Korea is now killed by Qin, and the sister of the King of Chu is the queen of Korea, so the Zheng Dynasty of Chu has always supported the restoration of Korea, and he, the Zheng Guo clan, can only mix wine shops and restaurants, make friends with nobles and heroes, and secretly look for opportunities.

Yongya is the upstart of the Chu State, and a rice cook wants to enter the Chu State Dynasty, and his heart is inevitably empty. The Yong clan still didn't know the rules of the game of the Chu political system, so they also made friends everywhere and inquired about gossip. Although his current status is higher than Zheng Rong, his vision and level are still inferior to Zheng Rong.

"What do you think is the current politics of the Chu State?" After drinking another glass of wine, Zhou Wen continued the previous topic.

"Is the gentleman talking about internal affairs or foreign affairs?" Yongya didn't speak, worried about showing his ugliness, and Zheng Rong naturally took over the conversation.

"The state of Chu is the hegemon of the world, and it is stronger internally than outside, so it is naturally an internal affair." Zhou Wenyu was blamed. He looked down on Zheng Rong and Yongya in his heart, how could he possibly accept their banquet before? How could they drink in this filthy liquor shop?

"It's still a dispute between the county Yin and the king." Zheng Rong's answer was even, and it was like a broken layer of paper to Yongya.

"Slightly teachable." Zhou Wen nodded in approval. "The county Yin contracted the county, and the land that was newly rewarded for his military exploits is already a big deal. When the feudal monarch fights with him, he has to rely on external forces. And the feudal monarch has nothing to gain, so he wants to work with the Lu people to restore the Zhou ......"

"Yongya dares to ask sir." Yongyan saluted Zhou Wen, and his face was hot. He felt that he had made friends and drank hundreds of times, and he didn't benefit from Zhou Wen's words.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite." Zhou Wen poured another cup of jujube wine into his throat.

"I don't know... Is the Mi family a county or a feudal monarch? The throat was dry, and the words came out of his throat.

"If you want to ask the Mi family, you should ask the king." Zhou Wendao. "Is the king's heart to the county Yin, or to the king?"

This ...... "Yongya has no political experience, and he will not even analyze politics in terms of what later generations called 'class'." 'Class' was not an invention of Marx, but a paraphrase of the sociology terminology that was gradually taking shape at that time. The concept of 'class' and the study of each 'class' have existed for a long time, but this is often a secret political experience and is rarely written down.

It is this kind of experience that Yongshi lacks, and if it is not properly grasped, it will lead to a lot of physical perpetual motion machine cognition. For example, resourceful people are also very brave, and the poor who have no faith (reverence) are more moral than the rich, and so on. Zhou Wen's question was too profound, Yongya couldn't answer it, and Zheng Rong couldn't answer it.

Their reaction was already expected by Zhou Wen, thinking of how they had also been invited by others and drank other people's jujube wine, Zhou Wen coughed and said drunkly: "The heart of the king is towards the county Yin, and the king also wants to make the Mi family the county Yin." The dispute between the queen and the queen is the dispute between the county Yin and the feudal king. The dispute is not elsewhere but with the queen. The son of Mi Nu is pregnant, if Zhao Nu sues the temple to join the bed, it is still unknown who will be the prince in his day. ”

The jujube wine mixed with water is also wine, and Zhou Wen, who has been pouring wine without eating vegetables, soon got drunk. When he was drunk, in the shogunate in the south of the city, Xiong Jing, who deliberately set aside the two histories on the left and right, was looking at his wife under him and putting on an ugly coat for Xiao Xiongjing.

"Dawang ......" has a big belly for more than four months, and the vomiting of early pregnancy is gradually decreasing, Mi Xuan smiled, she never thought that there would be such clothes.

"What's ridiculous." Xiong Jing looked unhappy, and Mi Xuan's gentleness couldn't help but arouse his desire. "If Yingnan is also pregnant with an heir and gives birth to a prince, you won't have time to cry."

"Xuan'er knows it's wrong." Mi Xuan restrained her smile. It is happy that her husband has only doted on her, and she should have been worried about the woman who was now wearing a cloak sewn from sheep's intestines. However, the shape of this sheep intestine dress is so strange that she can't help but laugh when she sees it.

"You're still laughing!" Xiong Jing felt a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, and he really wanted his wife to serve him once, but he thought of moderation, so he tried his best to let himself think about the bloody battlefield and the black and oppressive gods in the Taimiao, which suppressed this heat.

"Alright." Mi Xuan finally put on her clothes, and the little bear thorn was wrapped in sheep intestine clothes, and she couldn't see her true face, and at first glance it looked like a big stick was pinned to her clothes. Xiong Jing touched a few handfuls by himself, and was a little worried that it would break during the movement, this is not rubber, this is sheep intestines.

"If the king is ......" Seeing the man like this, Mi Xuan, who was worried about his offense, wanted to say that if Ying Nan was pregnant with an heir, she would be pregnant with an heir, she really didn't care about the title. If it's uncomfortable, it's, it's... The king favored them. ”

"It's really a woman in charge, and the house has collapsed." Xiong Jing disdainful. "It's a struggle! It's not a treat. ”

"Yui." Mi Xuan's heart was hot, and she stopped talking.

It is not possible to join the temple and the others without telling the temple and not sharing the bed, and the state of Chu must ally with the countries at least in the past few months, so as to completely occupy Bashu and drive the Qin army to the north of the Qinling Mountains. Only after this step can the war on the Western Front come to an end. Whether or not to be happy when sharing the bed is a question, and the sheep intestine contraceptive clothing is a precautionary measure.

"Try it." Xiong Jing didn't look at his wife's expression, and he asked left and right when he felt that it was okay. "What about the widow's concubine?"

Monoandry and multiple concubines are the marriage system of the Chu people, and it is contrary to the righteousness of husband and wife to be good with Ying Nanhuan, and there is no such problem with concubines.

"Your lord, the concubine has been brought." As soon as Chang Jiang spoke, two temple people walked in with a young woman with slightly dark skin. When the woman entered the tent and saw the big stick under the bear's thorn, she panicked and struggled, and shouted that no one could understand Tamil. This is the queen of Pandia who was captured and sent to Yingdu.

"It's hypocritical." Xiong Jing went up and slapped him hard, and the others quickly retreated.
