"The royal family will rely on the Qin people in the future? Father Haier didn't understand what he said, so please make it clear. Regarding Cheng Boxiu's father's words, Zhong Geng was skeptical. I thought to myself, no matter how powerful he was in the Qin people, he would not be able to support the entire Zhou royal family.

Cheng Boxiu's father stared at his son, "Child, what you say in your heart, have you ever been hostile to the Qin people?" ”

Zhong Geng nodded, "Yes." ”

Uncle Cheng showed a satisfied smile on his face, "What you said is right, in fact, my father was also hostile to the Qin people at the beginning. But judging from today's events, being a father is wrong, and so are you. You look at the current Zhou royal family, and then look at so many Guanzhong countries, which one can you count on at a critical time? It's not up to someone else, a Qin person who hasn't even established a country, to help us. ”

"But, Father, the Qin people also came to help us Cheng Guo by the royal family's edict, and it is the royal family that we should be grateful for." Zhong Geng argued.

Uncle Cheng smiled faintly and said: "That being said, you have to understand, child, even if the Qin people accepted the royal family's edict to help us, but to what extent to help is completely up to the Qin people themselves, if they delay sending troops and sit back and watch our Cheng Kingdom be destroyed, what can the royal family do?" ”

This one?

After listening to his father's words, Zhong Geng sighed in his heart.

If it is really as my father said, even if the Qin people bring troops to Cheng State, it is nothing more than a show. Even if the Cheng State was wiped out by Bo Rong, the royal family would not be able to do anything to the Qin people.

"Father, according to what you say, the Qin people really help us Cheng Guo? Why! Previously, we were hostile to the Qin people. Thinking of this truth, Zhong Geng's impression of the Qin people also changed.

Father Cheng tried to sit up and muttered, "This is where the atmosphere of the Qin people lies, and the people have not recorded a personal grudge against us because of the hostility that Cheng Guo once had towards them. Instead, he stood on the side of upholding the justice of the world, sincerely expelled Rong Di, and sent troops to drive away Bo Rong for the purpose of a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

"The Qin people are so atmospheric? But the monarch father Qin people don't have many soldiers and horses, and the place is not big, even if they have the heart to help others, they don't have this ability! Why did the monarch say that the future royal family would depend on the Qin people? ”

"The Qin people do have good soldiers and horses, the place is not big, but the people do things in an atmospheric way, take into account the overall situation, and although the Qin army is small, they are brave in battle and know how to skill, and they will definitely become great weapons in the future." Uncle Cheng said to the crown prince Zhong Geng.

Since the royal family depends on the Qin people to maintain it, then in the future, our Cheng Kingdom will also rely on the Qin people?

"Father Jun, the current royal family is in the hands of Father Yu Shi, no matter how brave and generous the Qin people are, they have never been able to get close to the center of royal power, and in the end they will become the pawns of Father Yu Shi and others."

Uncle Cheng's father shook his head, "No, Father Yu Shi and others are narrow-minded, flattering and bullying, and they can't be magnificent." You won't be looking at it for too long, and there will be major changes in the royal family. Although Rong Di in the north was bumped this time, their heart to annex the Central Plains never died. In the future, if the Guanzhong country can't twist into a force to deal with Rong Di, it will eventually be annihilated by others one by one. At that time, the Qin people's generous way of doing things would definitely win the approval of the vassal states, and they might be able to resist Rong Di's attack on Guanzhong. ”

After listening to his father's words, Zhong Geng nodded slightly, "There is some truth in what Father Jun said, the current Guanzhong countries are separated from morality, and it is really difficult for us to fight when Rong Di attacks on a large scale, and the Qin people's practice of ignoring previous suspicions may be the best way." ”

"This is also an important point that my father wants to tell you to have a good relationship with the Qin people, I hope you will keep it in mind." Uncle Cheng said.

At this time, the chamberlain hurriedly walked in and said to Cheng Boxiu's father: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Zhongxin is here with the leader of the Qin people. ”

"Oh, Doctor Yingkang is here, quickly stroke up for your father, and meet the leader of the Qin people together." Hearing the news that Yingkang had come in, Cheng Boxiu's father struggled to get up and said.

"Don't get up if your father is unwell, I and Zhong Xin will accompany him." Seeing that his father was already sick like this, Zhong Geng hurriedly said.

"No, meeting the leader of the Qin people today may be the last time in my life, how can I miss it as a father? Help me to the banquet hall, and I will personally meet with the leader of the Qin people. Uncle Cheng said firmly.

Since his father was so determined, Zhong Geng had no choice but to help his father to the hall, and at this time, Yingkang and He Youshou were already waiting for him here.

When Zhong Geng helped Cheng Boxiu's father into the hall, Yingkang was shocked all of a sudden, is this Cheng Boxiu's father, the famous minister of King Zhou Xuan's affairs? Is this the upright and upright Cheng Boxiu's father, who commanded the army and fought in the east and west?

At this time, Uncle Cheng's father, with the support of Gongzi Zhongxin, staggered into the hall, and there was a possibility of falling at any time in the process of walking.

Time is really a pig-killing knife, does the knife urge people to grow old?

It's only been a few years, has Uncle Cheng's father, who was once dominant, already aged like this?

Seeing that Yingkang kept looking at him in surprise, Uncle Cheng smiled and said, "Doctor Yingkang, the old man is old, there is nothing to see." ”

Yingkang felt rude and hurriedly arched his hand: "Qin Yingkang pays a visit to Cheng Bo, and wishes you good health and a long life." ”

"Hahaha, hahaha, healthy? As you can see, it is impossible for the old man to be healthy. As for longevity, it is even more impossible, and it is time to do it immediately. ”

Cheng Boxiu's father was a prince, and according to the regulations of the Zhou royal family, the death of a prince should be called "薨".

Hearing Cheng Boxiu's father's words, Ying Kang was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that people thousands of years ago would have a humorous time. He knows that a person who can make fun of himself is generally very open-minded.

"Ying Kang didn't expect Cheng Bo to be so open-minded, which made Kang admire!" Ying Kang hurriedly said, and then pointed to He Youshou, the thousand-commander beside him, and introduced: "This is He Youshou, the thousand-commander of our Qin army." ”

"Qin people He Youshou pay a visit to Uncle Cheng." He Youshou arched his hand.

"Okay, okay, you can come to take a look at our Cheng Guogao, the widow is very happy, please take a seat." Uncle Cheng said happily: "Doctor Yingkang, please take a seat." Cheng Boxiu's father pointed to the case next to him and said to Yingkang.

So Yingkang and He Youshou sat down on the left side of Cheng Boxiu's father, and Prince Zhonggeng and Gongzi Zhongxin sat down on the left respectively.

After everyone sat down, Uncle Cheng said: "Doctor Yingkang, the widow invited you to come today, there are two meanings, one is to thank you and your army for being able to help Cheng Guo when he is in danger; This also means to apologize for the disrespect to Qin Ren and you before, and I hope that Dr. Yingkang and you don't mind. ”

A monarch can be so humble at a critical time, so able to put down his figure and shelf, which really made Yingkang feel the description of Cheng Boxiu's father in "The Book of Songs, Daya, Changwu":

He Mingming, Wang Mingqing, Nanzhong Ancestor, Master Imperial Father.

Rectify my six divisions, in order to repair my Rong, both respect and precepts, and benefit this southern country.

Wang is Yin's family, Cheng Boxiu's father, Chen Xing left and right, and I am a teacher.

Rate the Huaipu, save this Xu soil, do not leave nowhere to go, three things are ready.

Hehe industry, there are Yan Tianzi, Wang Shu Baozuo, bandit Shao bandits.
