The next day, Yingkang and Liu Tong went to Hojing with gifts to the royal family and documents to report the good news to the Son of Heaven.

Out of Qianyi, all the way to the south, after the heavy mountains and mountains of Jiankuo Ridge is the boundary of the kingdom of Qiu. Because of the siege of Chenyi by Feng Rong, the way was very smooth, and almost no one was encountered.

Since the Qin people were born in horse breeding, along the way, Yingkang rode most of the time, while Liu Tong rode all the way.

"Master Sima, why don't you ride together?" After walking out of Jiankuoling, Liu Tong said to Yingkang.

It took a few days to get there, and it was actually quite tiring to ride all the time.

Since Liu Tong was invited, Yingkang got off the horse and rode with Liu Tong. You don't have to worry about taking the car in the end, and by the way, you can also enjoy the scene outside the car window and listen to Liu Tong tell him about the customs on both sides of the Weishui River.

"Lord Sima, this river is Weishui, and the country in Guanzhong is basically built on both sides of Weishui, and after Weishui, it will continue to the south to be my country." On the way to the shore of Weishui, Liu Tong pointed to Weishui not far away and said to Yingkang.

Yaguo, that is, the country that took advantage of the change of monarchy in the scattered country to want to attack my Qin people, I remember.

Ying Kang said silently in his heart.

While walking and chatting, they soon came to Hojing, the capital of the Zhou royal family.

Ho Kyung Zhou royal family.

At this time, Zhou Tianzi Ji Jing was already very old, and he had long lost the courage and pride to sweep Rong Di back then.

Winter is coming, Zhou Tianzi Ji sat quietly on the main hall of the royal family, surrounded by the royal secretary Zhong Shanfu and the minister Yu Gongji.

Decades of wind and rain have been accompanied, and all three of them are old at this time. Although the three of them are old, such a heavy burden of the Zhou royal family still has to be carried on the shoulders of several people.

Seeing that he was getting old day by day, Zhou Tianzi Ji Jing didn't have any good luck at all, "Gong Yu, you and I are old, and the lonely king is very worried about his death!" The Son of Heaven said to Gong Yu.

"What worries the king?" Yu Gong said.

"A hundred years after King Lone, the crown prince Ji Gongyan is about to succeed to the throne, but King Lone is worried about whether he will be able to bear such a heavy burden in the world of the Zhou family." Although he is about to grow old, Ji Jing, the son of heaven, who has been working for the world all her life, is still not worried about what is happening after her death.

"What worries the king?"

"The prince is young, he doesn't hesitate to do political affairs, he knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he doesn't like the princess appointed by the lonely king for him, which makes the lonely king worried!" Zhou Tianzi Ji Jing said.

The Son of Heaven Ji Jing is right, the current crown prince Ji Gongyan is fourteen or fifteen years old, although he has married the princess of Shenguo as a concubine, but he still can't tie his playful heart, and he plays with the prince of Qiuguo and Yin Jifu's son Yin Qiu all day long. It's just fun, but the crown prince of the Zhou royal family doesn't like his concubine, Princess Shenguo. This thing is big when it is big, and it is not small when it is small. Because this Shen State is different from other Guanzhong countries, this Shen State is actually a country established after the Jiang clan in the north joined the Zhou royal family. The reason why the crown prince Ji Gongyan married the princess of Shen Guo as a concubine is that it has the meaning of winning over and stabilizing the northern Rongdi.

However, this crown prince Ji Gongyan just can't understand his father's profound intentions.

Recently, there have been a lot of things for the Son of Heaven, trampling on the crops, breaking into the house and robbing the people's daughters from time to time, which makes the old Zhou Tianzi really embarrassed!

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Yu Gongji was a little embarrassed, after all, the person who had fun with the prince Ji Gongyan had his own son, Yu Shi's father.

But his son has not been able to be with himself since he was a child, especially because he was even more resentful of marrying his daughter Princess Ruoxi to Qin Ren.

Now that father and son have reached the point where they are in the same place, what else can he do as a father? You can only let it go and let it develop.

Since Duke Yu is not easy to speak, Zhong Shanfu, as a secretary of the royal family, can't see where the scene is cold, so he said: "The Son of Heaven is actually not too worried, people will always become, and when the crown prince Ji Gongyan succeeds to the throne in the future and bears the burden of the country, he will become stable." ”

Of course, Zhou Tianzi knew that this was Zhong Shanfu relieving himself, so he said weakly: "I hope." ”

Afterwards, Zhou Tianzi looked at the cold heaven and earth outside the main hall and said: "The world is so big, I don't know if those people in Ji Gongyan can hold it?" ”

Then the Son of Heaven turned his face to Yu Gongji and said, "You and I will both grow old, will you be able to guard the northwest border for the royal family after you?" ”

"This?" Faced with the question of the Son of Heaven, Yu Gongji was a little flustered, "The minister doesn't know. ”

"King Gu heard that Feng Rong sent troops to the northern border of the country a few days ago, I don't know how the war is going now?"

Although the Son of Heaven is old, he is still very concerned about his world, and Feng Rong knows all about sending troops to Chenyi.

"It's been repulsed." Gong Yu replied.

"Well---" The Son of Heaven nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked, "Did you send troops to repel yourself?" ”

"This?" Yu Gongji was speechless again, how should I say this?

If you tell the truth, the Son of Heaven will say that the original establishment of the Kingdom of Yu was to protect the northwest border for the royal family, and now Feng Rong is calling, but you yourself can't guard the border, and you have to ask an irrelevant Qin person to help you.

But if you don't tell the truth, people won't believe that the Kingdom of Yu will be strong enough overnight to drive out Rong Di on its own.

After thinking for a while, Yu Gong said: "The minister asked the Qin people to send troops to join forces with my country to defeat the enemy." ”

After listening to Gong Yu's answer, Zhou Tianzi was not surprised, just a simple "oh---", followed by a long silence.

Since the Son of Heaven was reluctant to speak, the two ministers could not say anything.

"I heard that this leader of the Qin people who came from the west is your son-in-law?" The Son of Heaven asked coldly, "Ask your son-in-law to help Yu Guo at a critical time, it seems that you are quite thoughtful!" ”

Gong Yu looked at Zhou Tianzi in surprise, not knowing what he meant by this.

"The minister had previously reported this to the Son of Heaven."

"The Lone King knows." The Son of Heaven has always been silent, "In fact, the Qin people are also vassals of my Zhou royal family, and it is better for Princess Ruoxi to marry him than to marry those gentlemen." ”

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, Gong Yu was finally relieved.

The situation has developed to this day, and even the Son of Heaven has begun to pay attention to the Qin people, the wild boys of the west.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven's attitude towards the Qin people had changed, Zhong Shanfu followed and said: "Princess Ruoxi of Duke Yu is a great beauty among the countries of Guanzhong, and when she married the son of the Qin people in the west, it caused a lot of discussion among the countries of Guanzhong, and they all thought that Princess Ruoxi was married and would definitely have to endure hardships. However, judging from the situation over the years, perhaps only these Qin people who came from the northwest can protect our Princess Ruoxi. In this way, Gong Yu still married his daughter to the right person. ”

When he said this, Nakayama Fu said it in a very appreciative tone.

"Qing Shimo wants to make fun of me, I didn't have a way to do it at the beginning." Yu Gong said with an embarrassed face.

"Actually, it's nothing, whether it's the Guanzhong country or the Qin people in the west, they are all the people of my royal family, as long as they can be loyal to the king, the lonely king will treat them equally." Tianzi Ji Jing said.

The Son of Heaven wants to treat the Qin people in the west as the same as the Guanzhong country?

From the words of the Son of Heaven, both Yu Gong and Zhong Shanfu heard a different meaning, and it was a very clear signal.
