Chapter Eighty-Six: A Match Made in Heaven

Love and marriage are two different things for those born into the king's family. Some marriages are destined to have no love mixed in them, and more interests. Especially between countries, marriage makes it impossible to talk about feelings, and if you are more serious, you will really lose. Born into the family of kings, the first consideration is the interests of the state, not personal feelings.

By consolidating an alliance with Korea, Zhao could contain Wei and Qin. The threat to the south and west of Zhao will also be greatly reduced. Zhao Yong can also free up his hands to deal with the situation in the world. He couldn't understand the power of it. Zhao Yong doesn't like a marriage without love, but with political interests. However, he is the king of Zhao and wants to seek the greatest interests for Zhao. His intentions are insignificant compared to the interests of Zhao State.

has promised the country, and it is difficult to promise Qing.

Zhao Yong's heart is unwilling! can't do something for his own fate, it's because of his personality. He wants to fight for his fate. Born in the family of kings, how can you be content with the status quo and be willing to be mediocre. No matter how good Han Zhao is, where will he end up. But he has worked hard, and he is not a good man.

Marrying a woman he doesn't love as his wife, how can Sima Wang's family not understand that feeling. Sima Wangzu once said: "When you marry a wife, you should be a person who is happy with each other." If not, find someone you like and look at. ”

It was only when he grew up that he realized that there are many things that can make you feel like you can't help yourself. No matter how you struggle and how you escape, you will never be able to get out of your destiny. The king has the king's way, and he has his own way to go. He likes Zhao Yunshu in his heart, but their identities and status are too different, and they are destined to not be able to walk together. Her circle, he can't go into, and he can't force himself to fit in. Since it is difficult to get along, why let yourself be miserable for a lifetime, if you are too tired to live, it is better to let go in style. Quietly hiding to the side, witnessing her happiness with her own eyes.

While waving his hand and turning away, Sima Wang's clan could not be without regrets. However, he did not dare to fight against his fate, because he knew that he was not qualified and unworthy. That girl is beyond his reach.

When Sima Wang learned that the king wanted to take advantage of the gap between the six rites to undermine Han Zhao's goodness. Sima Wang's mood was very complicated and entangled. He didn't know whether to break the king's plan or not. If he did, he would have betrayed the king's trust in him and betrayed their brotherly relationship. If you don't say it, it's bad for the country. Sage cloud, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both. The Sima Wang clan didn't know where to go. A person walked aimlessly on the streets of Handan, and unconsciously walked to the mansion of Da Sima.

Fei Yuan, the housekeeper of the Great Sima Mansion, knew the Sima Wang clan, so he stepped forward and asked, "Palace Guard, why are you here?" ”

Sima Wangzu came back to his senses and looked up at the Great Sima Mansion in front of him. Looking up at the cloudy sky again, he sighed deeply, "What's wrong with me." ”

Seeing Sima Wangzu standing outside the door in a daze, Fei Yuan said to himself, and anxiously walked up and asked, "Palace guard, why don't you give up." ”

"It's going to rain." After Sima Wangzu finished speaking, he shook his head and left the Great Sima Mansion. Fei Yuan watched the palace guard envoy leave, reflecting the lonely back, and then looked up at the sky, wondering: "God, is it going to rain?" After Hihara finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders and prepared to enter the mansion. At this time, Da Sima Feiyi walked out. Seeing this, Fei Yuan quickened his pace and greeted him, "Da Sima, the car has been prepared for you." ”

Fei Yi nodded, "Hmm." ”

Seeing that Da Sima had prepared a lot of things, Fei Yuan asked, "Da Sima, are you going to go far away?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to take the burden from Feiyi's hand.

Fei Yi smiled bitterly with a little headache: "Admiral Wang handed over the matter of Han Zhao's marriage to me. I am going to go to Korea to ask for the king's marriage. ”

Hihara congratulated: "Congratulations to Da Sima. ”

Fei Yi looked at him with a crying and laughing look, "He Xizhi." ”

Fei Yuan said: "The king's lifelong affairs are entrusted to you, which is enough to see how much the king relies on you!" ”

When Fei Yi heard this, he didn't answer, and looked up at the sky: "God, it's going to rain." With that, he boarded the carriage and left. Hihara wondered, "Is it really going to rain on this day?" ”

"I don't see any signs of rain."

Fei Yi was ordered by King Zhao to come to Xinzheng, South Korea. Han Wangkang heard that Zhao Guo had come with the Great Sima Feiyi as an envoy. Personally set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the guests. Prince Cang, Han Xiang and Gongsun Yan and others accompanied him. After three rounds of drinking, Taizicang asked, "Da Sima, why did you bring so much Zhao wine?" ”

Before Fei Yi could answer, Gongsun Yan replied first: "Prince, you are not a good drinker. Of course, I don't know the beauty of Zhao Guo's wine shop. ”

Han Cang paused and asked, "Rhino Head, what's the beauty of Zhao Jiu, please tell me a word or two." ”

Gongsun Yan said: "Zhao has two treasures, one is the exquisite iron-making technology, leading the princes and other countries. The second is that the wine shop in Zhao is developed. The fine wine of the Zhao State was well-known in the vassal states. Zhao wine spread to the princes and countries, and everyone rushed to buy it. However, Zhao wine is divided into three grades, and the highest class is drunk by people from the Zhao royal family and the clan. medium, which is drunk by its own people. However, the wine that was exported to the princes and nations was of the lowest quality. ”

Han Xiang sighed and couldn't help asking, "Rhino head, the old man is puzzled." Why didn't Zhao sell the best wine to the princes and other countries, and choose the inferior wine? It's so impressive..."

"Good things are of course reserved for the use of their own people." Gongsun Yan was afraid that Han Xiang's words would be too direct and offend Zhao Envoy, so he cut off and said, "Zhao Guo made a wine shop not to make a profit. The reason why Zhao wine was exported to the vassal states was because of the merchants' profits. However, the actions of the merchants made Zhao wine famous, even for the most inferior wine. Therefore, the princes and all the countries have spread that if you go to Handan and don't drink Zhao wine, how can you be the so-called big husband. ”

Han Cang said: "If you don't drink Zhao wine when you go to Handan, isn't it the so-called big husband." Da Sima, is that so? ”

Fei Yi said modestly: "This sentence is a world of people who love wine, and the words and sentences that are fabricated indiscriminately, the prince really can't take it." ”

"Huh? Da Sima, you are too humble. Han Kang also smiled and said: "Fine wine comes out of Handan, and this sentence has spread all over the princes and countries." The widow once drank Zhao wine in the Zhao Palace, and it was indeed a good wine in the world. What the rhino head said was true. Han Kang looked left and right and said with a smile: "The wine produced in the widowed Korea can't satisfy Da Sima." ”

Fei Yi said, "King Han, where did you speak." Hanjiu is also a good wine in the world. ”

Fei Yi brought Zhao wine into South Korea, saying that Korean wine is a good wine in the world, how to listen to it makes people feel perfunctory. Suddenly, Han Cang sneered in his heart: "Da Sima sent an envoy to South Korea, and he also carried so much Zhao wine with him. One is that I dislike that Korean wine is not good; The second is to sell Zhao wine in South Korea and make a lot of money. ”

"No, no." Fei Yi, seeing that the prince had misinterpreted the meaning, arched his hand and explained: "On that day, King Han took the prince to Zhao to congratulate my king on inheriting the throne. The letter palace met, and the king of Han and my king talked about harmony. My king remembers that King Han once said that he likes to drink Zhao wine. Therefore, my king specially ordered me to bring more wine to Korea. ”

That day, Han Kang drank with Zhao Yong in the letter palace, but said something casually. Who knows, King Zhao actually took this trivial matter to heart. Han Kang suddenly felt warmth in his heart, "King Zhao can still remember the words of the day, it is enough to see that he is a careful person." Widow, having such a good son-in-law is a blessing from the previous life. ”

Fei Yi said with a smile: "The Han and Zhao families have always been like brothers. Now, continuing the good of Han Zhao is really a family. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." King Han was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, "King Zhao and the widow are a family. ”

Han Cang was overjoyed when he saw his father's color, and proposed: "Father, the son proposes that for Han and Zhao to become a family, how about we raise a bottle and drink together." ”

"Da Sima, please." King Han also had this intention in his heart, and held up the wine bottle to signal left and right, "Everyone, please." ”

"King Han, please." Fei Yi held up the wine bottle and saluted in return, "The prince pleases, Han Xiang, rhino head, please." ”

"Please."

After everyone finished speaking, they drank all the wine in the cup.

Gongsun Yan put down the wine bottle, and said unsatisfied: "Your Majesty, in addition to Zhao wine, there is also Congtai wine in Zhao Kingdom. ”

King Han asked, "Rhino head, compared with Congtai wine and Zhao wine, which is better and stronger." ”

Gongsun Yan said intoxicatedly: "All are good wines in the world." ”

In order to unite the five kingdoms and claim the king, Gongsun Yan went to Zhao and was fortunate to witness the Congtai Palace, which brought him not only a visual feeling, but also a spiritual shock. Being in Congtai, Gongsun Yan seemed to see the harmony of the Three Jin Dynasty and the external world, and also saw the majesty of the Zhao State arrogantly defying the princes. Congtai wine is also a fine wine in Gongsun Yan's heart. Because of this wine, it records the agreement he reached with Zhao Jun in Zhao State, and also promotes the process of the Five Kingdoms. It is not so much that Gongsun Yan drinks a kind of wine, but rather a taste of the world.

The reputation of Zhao wine, King Han has long heard of it. As for Congtai wine, he doesn't know much. Han Kang only knew that the new monarch of Zhao succeeded to the throne and built a majestic and glorious palace. The newly built palace is not inferior to the Xianyang Palace of the Qin State, the Xinzheng of the South Korean State, the Yingdu of the Chu State, the Great Liang of the Wei State, and the Linzi of the Qi State. Although Han Kang had never seen the newly built hall of Zhao Guo, he knew the reputation of Zhao Guocongtai Palace. King Han is also a good wine person, and when he saw that the rhino said that Congtai wine was a good wine in the world, his heart was moved, and he asked: "Da Sima, can you bring Congtai wine." ”

Fei Yi said, "King Han, I just loaded a few carts of Congtai wine. ”

King Han couldn't wait to say, "Da Sima, don't you take it out quickly and let us drink it." ”

Han Cang also said: "Hearing the words of the rhino head, I can't wait to get drunk on Congtai wine." ”

The Zhao wine and Congtai wine that Fei Yi carried were originally given to Han Kang, but as soon as he arrived in South Korea, he met Han Cang. Han Cang saw that Feiyi was carrying so much wine, and it was not a taste in his heart, he thought? Although Korean liquor stores are not as famous as those of the vassal states, Korean liquor is not inferior. Han Cang was dissatisfied in his heart, and his face remained calm and said, "Da Sima, please follow me into the palace." Fei Yi told the people around him that they would send the wine shop back to the official post for safekeeping, and there should be no mistakes, so he followed Han Cang into the palace.

Seeing that King Han and the crown prince wanted to taste Congtai wine, Fei Yi arched his hand again and said, "The wine shop I brought was supposed to be for the king to enjoy. blame me for not thinking well, and ask the king to let me go back and send Congtai wine and Zhao wine into the palace. ”

Han Kang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Da Sima, you are a guest, how can you leave the table halfway." The matter of Congtai wine, it is not too late to send it again on a certain day, and I am not in a hurry today. ”

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Han Cang's anger suddenly disappeared in his heart, and he said with a smile: "What my father said is good. Da Sima is a guest, if he leaves the table halfway to get wine, won't he say that my Korean wine is not delicious? ”

Fei Yi left the table halfway to get Zhao wine, not only saying that Korean wine is not good, but giving South Korea a resounding slap in the face.

"The words of the king and the prince are very true, how can you let the guests leave the table halfway to get wine." Gongsun Yan said: "The king, the minister, is willing to go for the guests." ”

Han Kang's heart had already moved, and he didn't open this mouth because he was the king, and he took into account the face of the country when he spoke and did things. However, Zhao wine and Congtai wine were too tempting, and at this time, Han Kang was happy in his heart, and he didn't want to show it, so he was embarrassed.

Han Cang said: "Rhino head, this practice is not in line with etiquette. ”

Gongsun Yan is a free and easy person, who cares about etiquette, and said busily: "I'm just running errands." ”

Han Xiang also saw that the king wanted to drink Congtai wine, but considering the identity of the king of a country, he couldn't speak. Since Gongsun Yan was willing to work hard, he also came to a favor and said: "I also want to drink Congtai wine." There is a hard work for the rhinoceros. ”

Han Kang also said: "Rhino head, you have worked hard to go." ”

Gongsun Yan arched his hand and said, "Minister, let's go." ”

Gongsun Yan went to the official post of Zhao State to get Zhao wine and Congtai wine, and Feiyi still stayed in the palace to drink. This Korean court banquet, Korean wine, Zhao wine and Congtai wine took turns to drink, and everyone also drank freely. The next day, when the sun was rising, Fei Yi came to the Korean palace again and handed over the king's surname, birth date and related matters to Han Wangkang.

Han Wangkang also handed over Han Jiyao's birthday to Feiyi.

In the process of Genjun Zhouli, Han Wang Kang entered the temple for divination by taking King Zhao's birthday and his daughter's birthday. Soon, Han Kang learned that divination was a good omen. The birthdays of Han Jiyao and King Zhao are a match made in heaven.

Han Kang nodded with satisfaction, and handed over his daughter's marriage to Han Xiang and Han Cang.

Han Xiang, Han Cang and Fei Yi, the three of them treated this marriage for several days, and finally worked out a set of plans that satisfied both parties. After Han and Zhao finalized the date of the wedding, Fei Yi set off to return to Zhao.

Han Xiang and Han Cang personally sent Feiyi out of Xinzheng. Seeing Fei Yi and the other envoys of Zhao Guo leaving, Han Xiang asked in a low voice, "Prince, it's a little unfair for us to do this to the princess. ”

Han Cang said in a deep voice: "The people of the royal family have no right to choose. We're doing this for the good of the princess. I didn't dare to fight for what I loved, so I found a wishful husband for my sister. Zhao Jun is not a cold person, and he will not let down Ji Yao's sister. ”

"We..."

"Han Xiang, only you and I know about this matter. Sister Ji Yao and King Zhao are also a match made in heaven. Han Cang said arrogantly: "The marriage of Han and Zhao is very important, how can you let the illusory thing be disturbed." Marriage is done by man, how can God have the final say. ”
