Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "This is a happy event shared by South Korea and Zhao Guo, a certain person is the master of Zhao Guo, and he is the uncle of the king, it is reasonable, this matter is also handled by the old man, as for the so-called hard work, it can be regarded as contributing to the eternal marriage between Han and Zhao." ”

King Han nodded and said to Zhao Cheng: "I am very grateful to you for being a widow. If you have time, it is also right to let the little girl come to visit later. ”

When everyone behind Zhao Cheng heard this, they couldn't help but ignite a raging gossip heart, thinking that they had always heard that this lady had a beautiful complexion, but it was estimated that except for Zhao Cheng, who had been busy with this matter, the others had never seen it, and at this moment, seeing that King Han wanted to call out Bo Ji to give Zhao Cheng a gift, they couldn't help but feel a little excited in their hearts, and they all wanted to see how this legendary lady was amazing.

Zhao Cheng didn't seem to be able to hear the voices of the brothers behind him, thought for a while and said, "It's not in a hurry, I came this time, and I still have important things to inquire about." ”

Gong Zhongxuan and Zhang Kai glanced at each other, nodded lightly to each other in tacit understanding, knowing that the main event was coming, they were silent and watched each other's performances.

"Please also speak clearly."

"It's an old thing, too." Zhao Cheng took a wording and said: "In the past, the District Rat Association Alliance, my lord proposed to exchange the horses of Zhao for the crossbow of Korea, but the king of Han did not agree that day. Today, on the occasion of great joy, the king ordered another 500 horses as gifts, one is to congratulate the two countries on the good relationship between Qin and Jin, and the second is to inquire again about South Korea's reply on this matter. ”

When everyone in South Korea heard this, they didn't expect Zhao Yong to send five hundred horses, and they were given away for free, just these three hundred horses are enough to form a guard, not to mention that they were picked up for nothing. But about the trade...

King Han frowned and glanced at the enlightened Gong Zhong and Zhang Kai. What did he mean by the natural way of the two, after a pause, he replied: "The gentleman is kind, and South Korea naturally understands." Moreover, it is also an honor for South Korea to form an alliance and trade with Zhao State. It's just..."

Before he finished speaking, the public servant next to him sneered, took over and said, "It's just that this trade matter, I'm afraid it will have to be negotiated again." ”

Zhao Cheng saw that it was South Korea's prime minister, and between his words, he seemed to be a little cold. Then he cheered up the spirit of twelve, and said slowly: "You and I have discussed this matter a lot, the last time a certain returned from South Korea, the king of Han promised to finalize it before the king's wedding. Why is there some delay now? ”

King Han was a little embarrassed, but knowing that Gong Zhongxuan said this, he naturally had his deep meaning, and before he could reply, Gong Zhongxuan said: "It's not that I deliberately delay, but that Han thinks that if I insist on selling the bow and crossbow to Zhao State, I am afraid that I will be threatened by Qin State." Although Zhao and South Korea are close to each other, they are afraid that when the time comes, they will be afraid of Qin's intimidation and abandon South Korea. ”

When everyone in Zhao Guo heard this, they knew that this was Gong Zhongxuan making excuses, but some things are so strange, you obviously know what the other party means, but you can't refute it directly. What's more, today is here for a happy event, if you do something at this moment and break up unhappily, I am afraid that the relationship between the two countries will deteriorate day by day, and even turn against each other.

"What Xiang Bang said is the truth. If it is because of the matter of Zhao State, your country has been intimidated by the Qin State, I am afraid it is not the original intention of my monarch. Just when everyone in Zhao Guo was helpless, Li Dui, who was sitting in the back, thought about it, and couldn't help but answer.

Gong Zhong didn't know Li Dui, but after listening to him, he seemed to agree with his opinion, so he nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that your envoy and the monarch are also reasonable people. ”

"This is the justice of heaven." Li Dui looked at Gong Zhong with a smile and continued: "With Han Zhao's relationship, if it is affected because of this matter, it will definitely outweigh the losses. However, there is a certain matter, please think about it. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Before I came this time, I was just in time for the good news from Daijun, not long ago, my Daijun troops defeated the invading Zhongshan and Yan allied forces under Turbidity Deer City, and inflicted heavy casualties on them." Li Dui said seriously. In fact, when he came, the good news had not yet arrived, so he naturally didn't dare to speculate about the results, but since he didn't know, the other party was sure that the news would not be too well-informed. When the other party figured it out, he also left. Through this time gap, I hope to be able to help myself achieve my goals.

"Is what the messenger said true?" Gong Zhong frowned, not very convinced now. In his opinion, Zhao has always been oppressed by Zhongshan, how can it be said that if he defeated the coalition forces of the two countries, he was defeated?

"Absolutely." Li Dui said calmly. "Although the king went to investigate this matter, it was absolutely as he said below, and there was no half-truth."

"Well, if that's the case, then you should congratulate Zhao Guohe and you." King Han said suspiciously. "But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what we're talking about now."

"How does it matter, my lord." Li Dui said, "Once the war is over here, the dispute between China and Zhongshan is unavoidable. My monarch has long had the intention of the Northern Expedition, but he has always been constrained by the Yan State and the Qi State, and even the Wei State, so there has been no good opportunity. ”

"Now, Wei is mired in a dispute with Chu and can't take care of itself. Although Qi has always supported Zhongshan, the last time Zhongshan became king, Qi had fallen into a crisis of confidence in Zhongshan, and he wished that someone would come forward to teach them a lesson. And after this battle, Yan Guo must have temporarily extinguished his desire to help the abuse. This is a godsend. At that time, China will inevitably purchase a large number of South Korean crossbow bows. If so, wouldn't that be a good thing for South Korea? ”

"Though there is a lot of money, it is enough." Gong Zhongxuan finally found a chance to speak, he shook his head, and said to Li Dui: "If it is because of the accumulation of wealth and the prying eyes of the wealth wolf, it will be more than worth the loss." ”

"Then it's up to you to use the wealth." Li Dui looked at Gong Zhongxuan and knew that convincing this person was the key, "If the wealth is piled up there and stubbornly guarded, it will naturally attract the snooping of the rich wolf." However, if you can use this wealth to arm yourself first, then even if the wolf of wealth comes, what is there to be afraid of? ”

When everyone in Zhao Guo heard this, they couldn't help but applaud Li Dui. Especially Zhao Cheng and Li Guang, their evaluations of Li Dui have been raised to a higher level.

Zhang Kai saw that Gong Zhongxuan was speechless by Li Dui's defense, and hurriedly said: "In fact, this matter was originally prepared, but because of individual details, it is still under discussion, and it is only with the king and Xiangbang that there are such words. ”

When King Han saw that Zhang Kai had given him a step, he also got off the donkey, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, because there are still some doubts in some places, so I said so." ”

This is natural, and the little envoy also feels that this must be King Han's cautious move. The envoy was abrupt. He bowed and returned to his place.

Zhao Cheng knew that this time was not the time to chase and fight, but fortunately, he had to be in Xinzheng for two days, so he did not continue to speak, and continued to talk to King Han. King Han just wanted Xuan Boji to come and meet Zhao Cheng. But I saw a palace man, walking quickly, walking to his ear, and whispering a few words in his ear. When everyone saw him, their faces immediately turned a little pale, and they wanted to ask, but they heard him say, "Your envoys have come all the way, and the journey is tiring, and you will not stay for long today. The widow has already made arrangements for the envoy and his party, and they will rest for a night today, and talk about the matter of welcoming their relatives tomorrow. The widow still has some government affairs, and he still has to deal with it, so there will be no few left. ”

Everyone was shocked and thought to themselves, what had happened? But he didn't dare to ask again, so he had to say goodbye to King Han and the others and leave the royal city.

"It's really a disappointment, I wanted to meet the future lady first, but I didn't think about what King Han said himself, and I could forget it completely." The people left the royal city and went to their apartments. But thinking of the abnormality just now, I can't help but discuss a few words.

"Haha, Captain Li, you have to be careful when you talk like this, don't let Zhao Sikong hear it, otherwise, it will be another reprimand." Sima Qian accompanied Fu Ding and said to Li Guang.

Of course, Li Guang knew that this uncle of his family not only had a serious face, but also acted a little pedantic. Although his words were just a joke, it was estimated that in front of Zhao Cheng, it would not be like this.

"You and my brother are joking, it's not like that." Li Guang pretended to be aggrieved and said. He himself is very witty, and there is no restraint with Li Zhuo and others, which is convenient for him to inspect a few people.

"However, today's incident is also very strange, originally everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and was on the rise, so they were sent away. I really don't know if King Han has any urgent matters to deal with? Li Zhuo said. After a long journey, I finally arrived in Wangcheng, and I wanted to eat something good, but I didn't expect to be invited out before I could enjoy it, of course, I was a little breathless.

Fuding also nodded and muttered, "That's true, but you really can't guess what happened." ”

Beside him, Sima stroked his beard and said mysteriously: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to guess, but we have thought a little too much." ”

When everyone heard this, they thought that you, Sima Qian, knew what happened to King Han? If that's the case, then you're really God.

"Mr. Sima, you might as well tell me, anyway, there are no outsiders here, what do you think is wrong?"

"From the perspective below, it's not hard to guess." Sima Qian said: "First of all, this matter must not be too big, at least not a palace coup or something, otherwise King Han would not have turned pale, and there is still some courtesy between words." ”

"Well, that's right." Li Zhuo nodded.

"Second, it will not be a foreign invasion. Otherwise, at this time, it would not be a palace person to report it, but a eunuch. ”

When everyone heard it, it was also very reasonable. I didn't expect Sima Qian's observation to be so detailed, and they all admired him.

"Third, since he is a palace man, and King Han's face is only a little blue, he can still calmly send us away, at least it shows that this matter happened in his own royal city and has something to do with us."

"Have something to do with us? What relationship? Li Guang asked puzzled.

Sima Qian smiled indifferently and said slowly: "I'm afraid, it has something to do with our new lady." ”
