Chapter 84: Expectations

The marriage between Han and Zhao was made by Xianjunyu before his death. Although Zhao Yong is the monarch of Zhao State, he cannot break the promise made by his father to Korea during his lifetime. If Zhao Jun breaks his promise, in the future, who of the vassal states is willing to make friends with Zhao State. Zhao Yong didn't care if he had hundreds of reluctances in his heart, for the sake of the country's reputation and the reputation of the ancestors, he had no extra choice.

Zhao Yong and Han Jiyao have met once since they were young, and they have never seen each other again. When they met for the first time, Zhao Yong promised Han Jiyao that he would not marry her in this life. As he grew older, Zhao Yong had already forgotten all his youthful promises. If it weren't for Fei Yi and Tu Yi mentioning this, Zhao Yong would never believe that he would say such a thing when he was a child.

The meeting of the district rats, Han Zhao's good is a foregone conclusion.

In the dead of night, Zhao Yong would also think about what kind of person Han Jiyao would be. What is her appearance, whether she is beautiful or ugly. Her height, her personality, and her temper, so many questions haunted the depths of his mind.

Zhao Yong didn't expect Han Jiyao to have a peerless appearance, nor did he expect her to be talented. He doesn't want much, as long as Han Jiyao can get along with him. If he could ask for a little more, he hoped that Han Jiyao could blend with his heart. In this way, Zhao Yong's second half of his life will not be too miserable. Zhao Yong has too many expectations and too many fantasies for Han Jiyao. Zhao Yong occasionally asked the people around him everything about Han Jiyao. However, these people have scruples when they speak, and they will always twist good things to say. The information collected by Mu Jian cut off the thoughts in Zhao Yong's heart.

Occasionally, Zhao Yong stared at the night sky and asked questions. The vassal states are young and talented, and there are many dignitaries, why did King Han finally choose him.

In terms of land area, Zhao is not as good as Chu; If you talk about wealth, it is not as good as Qi and Song. In terms of national strength, it is inferior to Qi Wei Chu Qin. Although Zhao is a country of thousands of times, it has hundreds of thousands of armors and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. But the state of Zhao was in the land of four wars. There is Qi in the east, Qin in the west, Wei in the south, and Yan and Hu people in the north, and Zhao is not a strong country. The state of Zhao is not on the same level as the state of Qi, Qin, Wei and Chu. The king of Han married his daughter to any of the four kingdoms of Qi, Qin, Wei and Chu was much better than the state of Zhao.

But why did King Han finally choose Zhao Guo? Perhaps, King Han was a gentleman who valued his promises, so he would politely refuse the suitors of the vassal states. But Zhao Yong thought about it, for the sake of national interests, breaking promises often happens. The national interest is much more important than that of the gentleman. Mo said that Zhao Yong and other young people couldn't figure it out, and even Xiangbang Zhao Bao, who had been in the Zhao Kingdom for decades and was good at weighing the pros and cons, couldn't figure it out. Of course, Fei Yi, Tian Buli, Li Dui and others did not think that they not only saw through King Han's heart, but also saw through the current international situation.

Looking at the princes and countries, Tian Yinqi, the monarch of Qi, is old, and the crown prince Tian Bibi already has a princess. The king of Wei is also dying, and the heir of the prince of Wei has already been married. The king of Chu, Xiong Huai, has beauties all over the harem. Gongzi Heng, although he is the crown prince of Chu. However, the politics of Chu are complicated, and the harem is chaotic. Qin Guoyingsi, there are countless beauties in the palace. And the queen of the Qin king is a Wei person, and he gave birth to a son, how can his position be shaken by others. Although the Chu people Miyue gave birth to three sons for the King of Qin, she was also deeply favored by the king. But King Qin only rewarded her with the title of eighth son. Looking at the vassal states, it is the best choice for King Han to marry his daughter to Zhao.

Gongsun Yan wanted to maintain the situation of unity and longitudinal through the marriage of Han and Zhao. Fei Yi also saw the cleverness of Gongsun Yan's strategy and strongly supported it. In short, with the efforts of the monarchs and ministers of Han and Zhao, Han and Zhao not only reached an agreement on the District Rat Association, but also contributed to the good of Han and Zhao.

When the civil and military officials of Zhao heard the news that the king was going to get married, they were first shocked, and then they clapped their hands and celebrated. These people don't care who the king marries. All they cared about was that the king was finally married. Once the king is married, his temperament will be somewhat restrained. The future queen pinned her hopes on them.

"The life of a widow is so miserable!" Zhao Yong returned to Handan, facing the congratulations of the ministers, he didn't know how to express his grievances, and said in distress: "Widow, you can choose a moment of freedom, but you can't escape the arrangement of fate after all." ”

Seeing that the king's spirit was a little decadent, Tu Duwei comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense. The Korean princess is the pearl of King Han, and King Han will marry his beloved daughter to Zhao Guo, can't it explain everything? Don't be distressed, Your Majesty! ”

Now, how can Zhao Yong not be distressed. Soon he will marry a rude and willful woman who is also arrogant and unreasonable, and he seems to see his miserable life.

Sima Wangzu pursed his lips and smiled: "You are the king, what else in the world can be difficult to stop you." ”

Tu Duwei said in response: "Your Majesty, even a woman can't conquer, how can you conquer the world and be proud of the princes." ”

Zhao Yong couldn't lift his spirits and hung his head. That woman, can he really conquer?

The vassal states sent envoys to bring beauties to Zhao to ask for relatives, and Zhao Yong chose to hide to escape this political marriage. After Zhao Bao saw the king leaving, the passion in his heart was also extinguished. As time passed, Zhao Bao also calmed down. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Zhao also thought that the king's move was not because he was afraid of marriage. The king was concerned that the vassal states interfered in Zhao's internal affairs through political marriages.

The reason why Zhao Yong chose to avoid marrying the princes is actually very simple. The other half of his life, he didn't plan carefully. He didn't think about what kind of person his other half would be.

Sima Wang, seeing that the king's expression was gloomy, asked: "Your majesty, what kind of woman can break into your life, enter your world, and become a bright landscape in your heart." ”

Zhao Yong calmed down and thought for a moment. Suddenly, I felt that this question was so difficult to answer. What kind of woman could break into his life, he never thought about. Nor did he have a clear standard of reference. Faced with Sima Wang's sudden question, Zhao Yong was stumped for a while, shook his head, and sighed: "I don't know." Perhaps, the widow is destined to be lonely and miserable in his life. In the life of a widow, there will not be a woman who is intoxicating and obsessive. ”

Sima Wangzu smiled stupidly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Some things will naturally fall into place. Perhaps, one day, a woman will intrude into your life and make your heart flutter. Her every move, her smile and smile will affect your mood. The Wang clan believes that that day will not be too far away. ”

Zhao Yong smiled, no longer talking about sad topics, and instead asked, "Mu Jian, what kind of beauty do you think you have." ”

Mu Jian looked left and right, and said stupidly: "Your Majesty, I only have two conditions. ”

Zhao Yong saw that he was halfway through what he said, so he stopped and asked, "What conditions?" ”

Mu Jian, with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and said seriously: "Female, alive." ”

When Zhao Yong and Sima Wangzu saw his serious appearance, they thought that he would say something good. However, when they heard this, they almost died of laughter. Mu Jian's criteria for choosing a mate seem to be too casual.

Mu Jian said coldly: "Your Majesty, is it funny? ”

Zhao Yong touched his stomach and calmed down. But as soon as he remembered Mu Jian's expression just now, as well as that serious attitude, he couldn't help but smile again. Mu Jian had an innocent expression and wondered, "Is it that funny?" ”

Mu Jian asked with a smile: "Sima Wang, what is the beauty in your heart?" ”

"What else could it be." Zhao Yong replied for Sima Wang, "Of course, it's based on Sister Yunshu's reference standard. ”

Mu Jian exclaimed: "Wang, you have a heart. ”

Sima Wang's face turned red.

Zhao Yong teased: "You! Every time I see Sister Yun Shu, I always mess up. At first, the widow thought that you were afraid of Sister Yun Shu, so he chose to avoid her. Now, the widow understands that you have always had her in your heart. Wang, you are not too young, it's time to get married. The widow thinks that you and Sister Yun Shu are a match made in heaven. ”

"Yes! Distinguished family. Mu Jian said, "If you like Sister Yunshu, hurry up and express your heart to her." ”

Zhao Yong also teased: "Wang, you need someone to help you do something." ”

Sima Wang's face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, you still have the heart to ridicule the Sima Wang clan." Tu Yi paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, should you seriously consider how to welcome the Korean princess?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "There are two people in this matter, Xiangbang and Da Sima, don't worry about the widow." ”

"Your Majesty, this is your life's event, and you are fully responsible for Xiangbang and Dasikou, and you are not in a hurry at all, and you don't bother to pay attention." Tu Yi, a bad thought emerged in his heart, hesitated for a while, and continued: "Mo Fei, Your Majesty, you won't hide again!" ”

"Hide? Widowed, can you still hide? Zhao Yong, helplessly, spread his hands and looked sad, "The widow agreed to King Han and marry the Korean princess." The widow will not break his word. This time, the widow will not hide or escape. The widow sat quietly in Handan, waiting for the spring flowers to bloom next year, and then marry the Korean girl. ”

Tu Yi knew that the king was a bit willful, and he would not break what he said and promised. Tu Yi immediately showed joy on his face, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "The king is a word, naturally he can't speak and doesn't count, that's good, that's good." ”

Zhao Yong rolled his eyes, "Tu Duwei, are the widows so uneasy?" ”

"Isn't it? Xiangbang is the king of Zhang Luo's marriage, and he is very busy inside and out. After three rounds of competition, he fell in love with the beauty carried by the envoys of the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Wei. The king, the three women, are all of the highest rank. Tu Yi was open-mouthed, and the more he talked, the more interested he became, "Alas, the king is good, but he has failed Xiangbang's wishes." He actually escaped from Zhao Palace and stayed away from Handan. ”

"Yes, the widow has failed the hearts of Xiangbang and others."

"Isn't it? The king has failed the hearts of too many people. Tu Yi said with a smile: "I thought it would take time for the king to get married." I never thought that next year's spring flowers will be the day to marry a Korean girl. I am glad for you, O king. ”

Zhao Yong moved his lips, without smiling at all, "Widow, also happy." ”

Tu Yi didn't see Zhao Yong's thoughts, and wanted to continue to say something. Han Zhong waited on the side, and when he saw the face of the king, he couldn't help but speak: "Captain Tu, you have spoken enough today. ”

Tu Yi looked around, "Did I say a lot?" ”

Han Zhong nodded.

Tu Yi patted his forehead, "Your Majesty, look, as soon as I was happy, I said a lot of things." ”

Zhao Yong moved his brows, "It's good that Tu Duwei is happy." ”

"Your Majesty, I have a question in my heart." Mu Jian scratched the back of his head, "The five major powers of Weiqi, Chuyan, and Yan all sent envoys to Handan with many beauties to ask for relatives. Small countries such as Song, Lu, and Wei also sent envoys to Handan with beauties. Even the famous families and high-ranking officials also sacrificed their daughters. However, neither Qin nor Korea sent envoys and beauties to my Handan, what does this mean. ”

Tu Yi said: "South Korea and my country have long been engaged to a marriage contract. Korea was waiting for the king to come and ask for his marriage in person. ”

Mu Jian nodded and said, "Why didn't the Qin State send envoys." ”

Tu Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Sima Wangzu said: "Mu Jian, let you read more books and learn more knowledge, what about you?" When I see a book, my head hurts. You! Read more books, and you will understand why the Qin State Clan did not marry the Zhao State Clan. ”

Mu Jian said: "Wang, you can talk about things." ”

Sima Wang's clan said: "Qin Zhao is the same ancestor and the same ancestor, so they can't marry each other. ”
