Chapter Seventy-Five: Freedom

After Zhao Bao and Fei Yi were screened for the first time, the twenty qualified beauties were left behind, waiting for Zhao Jun to see them in person. Although, the beauties selected by them are all Lan Qianhuixin, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, it is not enough for them to be satisfied, the most important thing is to conform to Zhao Yong's mind. Zhao Guojun is an adult and is ready to get married. In addition to Qi, Chu, Wei, Yan and other major powers, they have sent envoys to lead stunning beauties to Handan, Zhao State. In addition, Song, Wei, Lu, Zhongshan and other countries also sent envoys. The monarchs of various countries hoped to marry Zhao and establish a good relationship between the two sides.

A waiter, standing outside the temple, raised his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty, here." ”

When everyone in the Zhao Palace heard this, they looked in the direction of the outside of the hall. They saw a young man with a remarkable appearance walk in. Against the backdrop of the sun, the young man was particularly eye-catching. The beauty in the palace saw it and made a crisp sound.

Mu Jian and Sima Wangzu followed behind Zhao Yong, but they failed to attract the attention of these beauties.

Zhao Yong is also the first time to see so many beauties looking at him, and his mood is indescribable. In short, the eyes of the opposite sex stared at him, and Zhao Jun felt that he was extraordinary.

Zhao Bao saw Zhao Jun walk in and greeted him, "Your Majesty, you can be regarded as here." ”

Zhao Yong, smiling, "It's hard work." ”

When everyone saw Zhao Jun walking in, they immediately got out of the way, stood on both sides, and arched their hands: "Meet the king." ”

Zhao Yong walked forward with a dignified demeanor, and he did not lose his kingly demeanor. Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Yong walked to the throne, turned around and sat on the main seat, heroic, and raised his hand to signal to everyone, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

Everyone thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Yong's gaze quickly swept over the hall, "Everyone, you have come from afar, you have worked hard." ”

The envoy of Qi said loudly: "Not bitter! Not bitter! Qi State can marry Zhao State, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it. ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom also said: "Yes! The king of my family also hopes to marry Zhao Guo. Congratulations, Yan and Zhao have a long peace between the two countries. ”

The envoy of Wei also said: "Wei also hopes to be able to conclude a relationship with Zhao. ”

The envoy of the State of Chu was not far behind, and said: "The same is true of the State of Chu. ”

Zhao Bao saw it and said, "Everyone, if you have anything to say, sit down and say." ”

The envoy of the four countries saluted Zhao Yong and returned to his seat. Zhao Yong's eyes looked at the people in the hall one by one. The beauties around the envoys of Qi, Chu, Wei and Yan are indeed different. However, marriage is related to the second half of life, and it must be cautious. If you make a rash decision based on your first impression, it will be painful for the rest of your life.

Zhao Bao came out of the queue and said to the envoys of various countries: "Everyone, my king is here." Talent show, start now. ”

In order to choose a good marriage for Zhao Jun. For a few days, Zhao Bao and Fei Yi sat together to discuss. In order to evaluate the beauties from the vassal states, the two unanimously decided to set up three games and eliminate some people. In order to avoid unpleasant things between the princes in Zhao because of the marriage. The first game of the competition is chess.

For the contestants, it's all about winning and losing. However, for Zhao Bao and others, it is to see the character cultivation of the contestants. Those who understand the art of chess must first learn to calm their minds and make plans before acting. Every step needs to be considered in all aspects, and the slightest mistake can lead to a loss. There are always winners and losers in chess, which makes it easy for onlookers to find something interesting. Especially for these contestants, the changes in their faces after winning and losing are the most eye-catching.

Zhao Bao asked the contestants to draw lots. Contestants, according to the numbers they have signed, go to the chess table that has been prepared for a long time. When the twenty contestants are seated, a waiter randomly takes out the chess pieces from the urn, holds them in his hand, and asks the contestants to guess the single, which is also a double. Whoever guesses the number will take the first step. Waiting for all the preparations to be completed, the waiter rings the bell, "The game begins." ”

With the end of the last table chess competition, an hour passed unconsciously. In the first competition, ten players were eliminated. The beauties of Qi, Wei, Chu and Yan really have the ability to defeat their opponents in the shortest possible time. Their performance shows the demeanor of women in a big country everywhere.

The second competition is the sound of the piano.

The sound of the piano is borderless. A good music melody will always make the listener's heart feel relaxed and happy, and the soul will fly out of the sky. Anyone who understands the sound of the piano must be elegant. In order to reflect the fairness of the contestants, Zhao Guo specially found many people who are proficient in piano music as comments.

The third competition is for the contestants to show their talents.

Zhao Yong watched the two competitions. Suddenly, Han Zhongfu said something in Zhao Yong's ear.

When Zhao Yong heard this, his face sank, and he handed over the matter here to Zhao Bao to deal with. Zhao Yong turned to the envoys and said, "Everyone, the widow still has something to deal with, and he is out of company." ”

The envoys, seeing that Zhao Yong was in a hurry, thought that something had happened to Zhao Guo. They all got up and gave Zhao Jun away.

Mu Jian asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, what happened." ”

Zhao Yong didn't answer his words, and walked forward quickly.

Back in the inner hall, Zhao Yong stopped, "Nothing happened!" ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "Your Majesty, you..."

"The widow and the great order agreed. If you feel that the beauty of the countries is boring, you should use your right hand to hold your forehead. Great order, help the widow get out. Zhao Yong, seeing the expressions of the two, asked, "Don't you think that their competition is not interesting at all?" ”

"Your Majesty, how can it be boring to be able to see the talents of beauties from all over the world." Mu Jian, reminiscing about the previous two competitions, said intoxicated: "Your Majesty, I think the beauties of Qi, Chu and Wei are all good. The beauties of Lu will cry when they lose their chess skills. There is also what the beauties of Zhongshan Country talk about, which is messy. Hasn't Xiangbang been screened? How can such a woman be allowed to enter the hall of elegance. is still a beauty of Qi country, and there is nothing to say about the character of chess artists. Even the sound of the singing voice makes people want to listen to it. ”

Sima Wang's eyes were not on the beauties of the princely countries. He kept paying attention to the king's expression. Regarding the results of those two competitions, Zhao Yong didn't care at all. Although Zhao Jun had a smile on his face, he didn't like it in his heart. These beauties, all dressed up in fancy ways, are boring. Zhao Yong doesn't like such a woman, he thinks that a natural woman is lovely. Only vulgar women will pay attention to powder. Zhao Yong glanced at the beauties in the hall, and none of the women paused his gaze for more than three seconds, and none of the women made his heart flutter. At this moment, Mu Jian was talking about the beauties of various countries, and Zhao Jun was also without spirit.

Sima Wangzu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why are you not happy at all. ”

"I am the king of a country, and I can't even control my own marriage." Zhao Yong, snorted, and said in frustration: "Widow, can you be happy?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, for the sake of the country, you have no choice." Mu Jian said: "Which country does Zhao marry with a beauty?" The country's strength is bound to grow. Therefore, the vassal states did not hesitate to send many women to Handan, Zhao State, just to marry our country. ”

These things that Mu Jian said, Zhao Yong didn't know in his heart. Just thinking that his marriage was being manipulated, he had a faint anger in his heart.

Marriage is what you and I want, pay attention to fate, and it is also a great joy in life. However, these women's marriages were not happy, but became a political tool. Faced with this phenomenon, Zhao Jun felt disgusted in his heart.

Zhao Yong took a few steps forward, feeling sorry for these women. He looked up at the blue sky and watched the white clouds drift in the wind. The clouds sometimes merge and sometimes part, and change endlessly. He really envied these clouds in his heart, he could do whatever he wanted, "A widow cannot be the master of the world." Can't you still be your own master? ”

Mu Jian understood that none of the beauties in the palace were taken by Zhao Jun, and he said, "Your Excellency, what kind of woman do you like." ”

"The widow doesn't expect to fall in love with her at first sight. But the widow wants his other half to be unique, preferably a woman with a story. She doesn't need to be peerless, she doesn't need to be talented. What the widow wants, that is, her mind is in harmony with mine. For me, the face is just a skin, and the fusion of the two people's minds is the most precious. Zhao Yong's expression gradually became sad, "If I am not the king of Zhao and the beauty of all countries, An can take a look at me." These beauties, decorated with powder, have beautiful faces. There are also a few people who are sincere to the widow. What a pity! As the king of Zhao, there are too many people who can't help it, and even marriage is used as a political bargaining chip by others. The widow should be the most pitiful person in the world. ”

"Your Majesty, there are many people like you, all of whom are pitiful." Sima Wang, seeing Zhao Jun's gaze staring at him, continued: "The king of a country seems to be infinitely beautiful. But, who knows, the king of a country is the loneliest. How much scenery they have in front of them, how much loneliness they will have behind them. ”

Zhao Yong saw that someone understood him, and he was relieved a lot, and his eyes were no longer silent, "Wang, you still know the mind of the widow best." ”

Sima Wang didn't want to see Jun Shang unhappy, so he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said: "Jun, you don't want to be bound, you yearn for freedom." I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Zhao Yong smiled bitterly in his heart, his mood was about to fall to the bottom. What else can't be listened to, it's a big deal to let yourself fall to the bottom. Zhao Yong collected his sadness and stared at him with his eyes, "If you have any ideas, you can say it." The widow is not yet vulnerable to that point. ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Your Majesty, in order to yearn for freedom, why don't we go crazy once." ”

Mu Jian looked anxious and urged: "Wang, what a crazy method, you are about to say it!" I'm in a hurry. ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, his eyes brightened, and he also nodded, signaling him to say.

"Your Majesty, let's escape! Escape from the palace. Sima Wangzu said: "We want to escape from the palace like birds, and what awaits us is freedom." For the sake of that freedom in our hearts, let's go crazy once. ”

When Mu Jian heard this, he felt that this idea was not advisable, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wangzu, you don't have a fever!" ”

"Run? Escape from the palace. Zhao Yong, pondering for a moment, his expression moved, and his eyes gradually brightened, "Wang, you are right." We should get out of the palace. To seek the freedom of the heart. ”

Mu Jian couldn't understand, stomped his feet, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about!" ”

Sima Wangzu said: "If we don't take advantage of our youth and go crazy a few times to save a few memories for the future." What's the point of waiting until you're old? ”

"Before the widow, he only knew how to endure and retreat. Never thought of running away. Zhao Yong, looking up at the blue sky, said, "Wang, you're right. If you are young, you are not crazy, and when you are old, what is the point. ”

"Your Majesty, let's run away now! Flee far away, forgetting the unpleasantness in front of you for a while. ”

Mu Jian stopped and said, "Wang, the king is gone." What to do with the beauties of the vassal states. ”

Zhao Yongcai didn't want to be so much, it was rare to be crazy once, "With Xiangbang, there is no need to worry about everything." ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Your Majesty, we escaped from the palace and fled Handan. Unpleasant things, don't think about them. We want to be happy and happy to be our true selves. Didn't South Korea invite us to join forces? When we left Handan, we went to Shangdang County, and then we went to conclude an alliance with Korea. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yong said to go, and pulled the doctor Tian Buru, and the palace guards made Tu Yi and Sima Wangzu and others escape from the palace, away from troublesome trivial matters. Doctor Tian Buli doesn't like well-behaved teenagers. Willful, free and easy, reckless, this is the temperament of young people. After Tian Buli heard this, he agreed with Zhao Jun's idea with both hands. Zhao Gong stayed for a long time, and he was indeed bored. When Tu Yi heard this, he couldn't understand Zhao Jun's intentions for a while, but he also reserved his opinion and decided to follow.

Zhao Yong took advantage of the eyes of the ministers, and stared at the beauties of various countries, unknowingly, leading a group of people to escape from the palace. Out of the east gate of Handan, Zhao Yong took a few breaths of fresh air and said heartily: "It's happy, it's really happy." Widow, I haven't been so happy again. Freedom, freedom in the hearts of the widows. ”

Tian Buli also laughed loudly, and should be with Zhao Jun. If the monarch he pursues, if he follows the rules and distances, has no personality of his own, and remains unchanged for decades, it is difficult for such a monarch to achieve great things. Life, will also feel too boring. Tu Yi has never seen such a side of the king. suddenly felt that Jun Shang should live such a life at this age. Tu Yi vaguely saw the shadow of Zhao Houyu from the young man's face. When Zhao Houyu was young, he also yearned for freedom like this. Can? After the Handan disaster, Zhao Yu didn't see such a smile on his face.

Zhao Yu did not choose freedom, but chose the country and home. In fact, there is no conflict between freedom and the country and the family. It's just that some people, who have been sitting in high positions for a long time, have long forgotten in their hearts what true freedom is.
