Chapter 263: Kind Son of Heaven
Looking at His Royal Highness Liu Tong, Zhou Tianzi asked curiously: "Today, everyone is vying for fiefdoms and land, why are you maverick and willing to take the initiative to assign your fiefdoms to the Qin people?" ”
Zhou Tianzi's thoughts represented the thoughts of all the people in society at that time, and one person was unwilling to be feuded.
Is there such a stupid person in the world?
Of course, Liu Tong was not stupid, and thought for a while: "Weichen knows that his actions today are a little puzzling, but this is also my idea after thinking about it for many days. Please also ask the king for his permission. ”
"Why did you give your fiefdom to the Qin people?" Zhou Tianzi couldn't help asking.
"Although the minister is a native of Yaguo and has also served as the prime minister of the scattered country, the minister is a child of the Zhou royal family. Since you are a child of the royal family, you must think about the royal family and the people of the world. Before directly answering Zhou Tianzi's question, Liu Tong first said a great truth.
However, this great truth really moved Zhou Tianzi and others, "The royal family is very pleased to have people like you." ”
Liu Tong continued: "The king also knows that as Rong Di grows stronger day by day, they continue to harass the northern border of my Guanzhong, but the feudal towns of the ministers are in Longchuan, a place where Rong Di often haunts. The king also saw that although the minister had served as the prime minister of the scattered country, he was still a scholar, unable to get on a horse, unable to draw a bow, and had no civil and military generals to garrison the frontier for the minister. If I continue to own the land of Longchuan, sooner or later it will be occupied by Fengrong in the north. ”
Listening to Liu Tong's words, Zhong Shanfu nodded and said, "It's also true, if there is no one to guard for you, Longchuan will be occupied by others sooner or later." ”
"Therefore, Weichen has been looking for someone who can garrison Longchuan for Weichen. Now this person has finally been found, and that is the Qin people who leased the land of Longchuan. Since the Qin people can defeat Fengrong, they will definitely be able to defend the land of Longchuan. Guarding the land of Longchuan is equivalent to guarding the northern border for the royal family, which is the real purpose of the minister who is willing to hand over the land of Longchuan to the Qin people. ”
Liu Tong's words were so good, Zhou Tianzi and others who listened to them were moved, and Zhou Tianzi couldn't help but say: "What Aiqing said is too good, the royal family is honored to have people like you." Well---, King Gu agreed to your request and decided to give the land of Longchuan to the Qin people Yingkang. Whatever you want, just ask. ”
"The minister asked the king to seal the Qin people Yingkang as the doctor of Longchuan, Yingzhao as the Si Nong Order, and Zhao Boyu as the Sima of Longchuan, as for the minister, there is nothing else to ask for." Liu Tong said.
What is this requirement?
He never mentioned himself before and after, which made Zhou Tianzi inexplicably moved again. Although he is a little unfamiliar with Yingzhao and Zhao Boyu, Liu Tong can bring it up here, and he must also be a person who has contributed to the Qin people, so Zhou Tianzi said loudly: "The edict ---, enshrine the Qin people Yingkang as the doctor of Qianyi, Yingzhao as the Si Nong Order, and Zhao Boyu as the Sima of Qianyi." The land south of Qianshan and north of Jiankuoling was the fief of the Qin people Yingkang. ”
Hearing Zhou Tianzi's edict, Yingkang and Liu Tong hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for the gift of Tianzi, the ministers should be loyal to the king, and they will be loyal to the king until death." ”
"Okay, get up, the Lone King still has something to tell you." Zhou Tianzi said to the two kindly.
After Ying Kang got up, Zhou Tianzi waved at him and motioned for him to come to him.
Ying Kang took a few steps forward and came to the Son of Heaven.
Zhou Tianzi squinted his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him, "How old are you?" ”
"Wechen is twenty years old this year." Ying Kang replied.
"Twenty years old? Very good age, when the Lone King was your age, he was already the son of the Zhou royal family, it was really messy! The royal family is unstable, and Rong Di invades. After King Lone succeeded to the throne, he appointed sages, rectified the rule of officials, and used troops abroad, which made the Zhou royal family what it is today. Looking at Yingkang's young face, Zhou Tianzi muttered.
"The king worked hard, appointed virtuous ministers, and swept Rong Di, so that there is a stable and peaceful situation today, and the people of the world will be grateful for the king's kindness." Yingkang said complimentally.
Zhou Tianzi listened, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "It's all in the past, and now that the lonely king is old, many times he is powerless." ”
"Ten thousand years of kings, ten thousand years of the Zhou royal family." Ying Kang said.
"Ten thousand years? Who will live for 10,000 years? The lonely king may not be that long. Although Zhou Tianzi is old, his mind is still quite clear, "It is up to you young people to do things in the future." ”
"The ministers should be loyal and wise to protect the peace of the royal family, so that the Son of Heaven can enjoy his old age in peace."
After listening to Yingkang's words, Zhou Tianzi's old face once again showed a smile, "Okay, good, King Gu likes to listen to you." Then Zhou Tianzi raised his head and looked at Yingkang, "Child, Rong Di is savage, heroic and ruthless, and the Lone King sees that you are not so tall and mighty, why aren't you afraid of Rong Di?" ”
For a long time, the impression of Guanzhong countries on Rong Di was that they were barbaric, fierce, combative, and murderous. But the Qin man in front of him was neither tall nor mighty, so why wasn't he afraid of Rong Di?
Not only is he not afraid of Rong Di, but he can also capture their prince alive.
This made Zhou Tianzi very surprised!
"Your Majesty, it is true that the ministers are neither tall nor mighty, but fighting a war is not just a matter solved by force, but also depends on wisdom and morale. For many years, the Qin people lived in Xitui, and Rong Di was all over the wilderness, and if we were afraid, they would have been wiped out by Rong Di long ago. After hundreds of years of war, the Qin people have long been not afraid of Rong Di. As long as we are not afraid of him, there must be a way to defeat them. Ying Kang said categorically.
"Well---, what you said makes sense, but there are two sides to this matter, and some people are more and more courageous, just like you Qin people. But some people are more and more afraid, just like today's Guanzhong countries, they have fought for many years, and they don't have the courage to fight Rong Di until now. As soon as he met Rong Di, he knew how to run, which caused the royal family to lose a lot of land. Zhou Tianzi said with emotion after hearing this.
"What the king taught was that the incompetence of the ministers caused the royal family to lose their land, and asked the king to condemn him." When Gong Yu heard it, he thought that the Son of Heaven was teaching him a lesson, so he quickly admitted his mistake.
"The lonely king didn't blame you, it's not as good as your kingdom and the country is more. What sin do you please. ”
Yu Gong took two steps back in embarrassment.
Then the Son of Heaven continued to say to Ying Kang: "In the future, the northern border of the royal family will depend on you, I hope you will think of more ways, train more elite soldiers, and do your best to defend the northern border." As long as there is nothing to do in the north, there will basically be no big deal for the entire royal family. ”
After that, Zhou Tianzi let out a long sigh of loss.
"The ministers obey the king's commands." Ying Kang replied.
"Child, you are still very young, Rong Di is fierce, you must protect yourself when you fight with them again, don't let the enemy hurt yourself!" Zhou Tianzi said to Yingkang with pity.
At this time, Ying Kang felt that the supreme Zhou Tianzi in front of him turned out to be so kind and kind, and there was almost no majesty and arrogance of the Son of Heaven.
Ying Kang wanted to cry a little when he said this, "Yes, the minister will definitely protect himself." ”
"That's good, that's good." Then Zhou Tianzi said to Liu Tong: "You have paid a lot for the Qin people, and now you don't even have your own fiefdom, so the Lone King will make you the middle doctor of the royal family, and buy you a courtyard in Hojing, which can be regarded as a reward for you?" ”
"The minister is grateful to the king for the reward, but the minister still wants to follow the Qin people to fight against Rong Di in his lifetime, please ask the king to agree." Zhou Tianzi can think of these for Liu Tong, it can't but be said to be a very intimate gift, with the official position of Zhong Dafu, Liu Tong can at least receive a good salary in the royal family, so that he will not have no source of livelihood in the future.
"It's up to you, the Lone King is just giving you a treatment, as for whether you want to stay in the royal family or stay in Qianyi, everything is up to you, and the Lone King will not interfere." Zhou Tianzi readily agreed to Liu Tong's request.
For him, it doesn't really matter if the Zhou royal family has such a doctor as you Liu Tong, as long as you are willing to stay in Longchuan to guard the border for King Gu, it is a good thing.
