As he spoke, the sad past poured into his heart, and Zhao Yong's face sank, and his expression was a little lonely. Mu Jian guessed his thoughts, picked up the loss in his heart, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go see the mother of the Sima Wang clan." ”

Zhao Yong felt a sour nose, stabilized his mind, raised his hand and said, "That's what I mean." ”

Sima's Mansion was the place where Zhao Houyu gave Sima Wang's family and his mother a place to live. In the battle of Lishi, Sima Wang's father was killed in battle, leaving them orphans and widows. Zhao Houyu couldn't bear the miserable life of the hero's descendants, and arranged a mansion for his widow and orphans. Sima Wang's mother lived a simple and concise life. Therefore, there are not too many miscellaneous discussions and maidservants in the house. There are only eleven people in the Sima Mansion of Nuoda. Four of the guards were arranged by Zhao Yong.

The carriage arrived at the door of Sima's mansion, and the guards saw that the person in the carriage was the king, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Meet the king." ”

Zhao Yong waved his long sleeves and didn't let them go in to report. The guards bowed to the side, making way for the king. Zhao Yong, looking at the four big characters of Sima Mansion, walked forward step by step with a heavy heart. With every step, there is always one more point of sadness.

Mu Jian said to the group behind him, "A few of you go in with me, and the others are waiting here." ”

Everyone said in unison: "No." ”

In the empty and quiet courtyard, unknown flowers exude a faint fragrance. Zhao Yong took a breath and saw a woman with gray hair sewing and mending clothes. Around the woman were four young girls of twenty-eight years old. The delicate timbre of the girl, like a spring breeze, spreads throughout the courtyard. One of the girls looked up and saw a young man with a remarkable demeanor approaching, and hurriedly alerted the others. The three girls were also fascinated by the figure of the young man in front of them and whispered.

The woman, too, heard the whispers of the maidens, and raised her head to identify the comer. After thinking about it for a while, I didn't have any impression of the young man in front of me.

Mu Jian said solemnly: "Your Excellency is coming, you don't kneel down quickly." ”

When the girls heard that the good-looking young man in front of them was the king, their faces suddenly changed, and they knelt on the ground in fright, trembling. When the woman heard this, she squatted down half of her body and said unhurriedly: "I don't know how much you have offended when you come here, please punish you." ”

Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite." ”

The woman bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Yong slowly turned around, and with clear and transparent eyes, he glanced at the courtyard. In the courtyard, there are several pots of flower seedlings, and there is nothing else to admire. Noda's Sima Mansion is too deserted. Zhao Yong, taking a breath, tried to make his face appear calm, turned to look at the clothes in the woman's hand, and asked, "Why do you do all this work?" ”

"Back to the king, I want to weave a few more clothes for my family."

"The wang clan is luckier than the widow to be able to wear the clothes sewn by his mother." Zhao Yong, a little more melancholy in his tone, said: "I wear exquisite clothes on my body, and I don't have the clothes woven by my mother to wear comfortably." ”

"My son had a hard life, and he lacked father's love since he was a child. When this child was born, his father was not around. His grandmother named him the Prestige Family. One is to remind him not to forget the glory of the Sima family, and to revitalize the family in the future. The second is to motivate my son's self-motivated heart. However, in my heart, I hope that he will grow up peacefully and spend his life calmly. ”

The woman's face overflowed with happiness at the thought of her family. Seeing this, Zhao Yong's heart was filled with sadness. Once, his mother also loved her so much and loved her. He vaguely remembered that when he was young, he made a mistake, and his father wanted to punish him. The queen mother will always defend him in every way. However, Zhao Yu is very handy in handling state, government and military affairs. However, treating Mrs. and Yong'er is a headache in every way.

Every time Zhao Yong gets into trouble, the angry Zhao Yu is half dead. The queen will always excuse her son for various reasons.

Zhao Yu said: "If you spoil him like this, he will make mistakes in the future." ”

The queen said: "Yong'er is my son, I don't spoil him, who do I spoil." ”

Zhao Yu, blocked by her words, said angrily: "Yong'er, also my son." Today, be harsh on him and let him remember it longer. Tomorrow, he will grow up to be a talent. Everything I do is for his good. ”

"When you see Yong'er every day, you either have a serious face or punish him. Son, I saw you hiding far away. Is that what you call it good? ”

Zhao Yu, who couldn't say Madame, shook his sleeves and said slightly angrily: "Okay." Yong'er, I don't care. Now, it's all right! ”

The queen pursed her mouth and said softly: "Yong'er, you have grown up, and you can't learn from your monarch father." Men, not only have to stand up to the sky, but also learn to take care of women and children. Do you remember? ”

Zhao Yong stared at the beads and nodded vigorously.

Zhao Yu let out a long sigh when he saw the two of them, mother and son. In the previous life, he owed them, and in this life, their mother and son will make him hurt his brain. When Zhao Yong saw the handsome and mighty monarch father, he would always be helpless in front of the queen mother. He also discovered a secret, that is, the queen mother is the weakness of the monarch's father. Recalling the love of the queen mother in the past, Zhao Yong's face overflowed with a happy smile. He thought? If the queen mother is still there, she will also weave new clothes for him. They will love themselves as a woman loves her family.

Mu Jian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Yong, retracting his thoughts, nodded at Mu Jian. Mu Jian understood and clapped his hands high-five. Four servants, holding the plate in both hands, greeted them. Zhao Yong lifted the black cloth towel covered on the plate and said, "The Wang clan has something to do, and I won't come back to see you in a short time." You use these first. When you run out, send someone to tell the widow. ”

The woman hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. ”

"Don't shirk. This is the king's heart. Mu Jian persuaded: "You also deserve it." ”

The woman's heart moved, and something bad flashed faintly, and she raised her head and asked, "Your Majesty, don't hide it from me, my son, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yong chuckled in his heart, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "The Wang clan is fine, he is doing things for the widow." ”

The woman nodded and said, "It is my honor, that the dog can do things for the king." ”

"Widow, there are still state affairs to deal with, so don't leave it at that."

"Congratulations."

The woman looked at the gift of the king, and a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes. The maiden on the side had never seen so much money, and when she saw the woman weeping secretly, she asked, "The king himself has come and rewarded the lady with her money." What a grace this was, and how the woman was not pleased, but wept. ”

The woman muttered, "The last time the king rewarded me with gold and silver, it was my husband who sacrificed his life for the country. ”

Walking out of Sima's mansion, Zhao Yong looked up at the sky. The previously bright blue sky has long been covered by black clouds. A raindrop the size of a grain of rice slid down Zhao Yong's cheek, reflecting a distinct trace. Mu Jian saw that Jun Shang was silent, and kept an eye on him. The traces of raindrops on Zhao Yong's face were thought to be tears on his face, and he comforted him: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, don't be sad." ”

Zhao Yong, stunned for a moment, said, "I, sad? ”

"Your Majesty, you just admit it!" Mu Jian muttered: "You have already shed tears, and you are deliberately reckless." For the sake of face, a king cannot express himself truthfully. ”

Mu Jian realized that he had said the wrong thing, and twitched his mouth lightly. Zhao Yong ignored his inexplicable actions and still looked up at the sky. He thought? Where the dark clouds cover it, will there be traces of the existence of immortals? If there were immortals, what would their world be like? Is there six sufferings in life, seven emotions and six desires? Perhaps, the heavens felt the compassion in his heart, and the raindrops slipped down like pearls. The rain slapped silently on his face. Zhao Yong couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears that slipped from his eyes.

After a long time, Zhao Yong came back to his senses and walked into the car sadly.

Mu Jian raised his voice and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

Sima Wang's mother's words and deeds reminded Zhao Yong of the memory of his mother in the depths of his mind. The queen mother's smile was deeply engraved in the depths of his mind. No matter how much brocade and silk is draped on the body, it is not as precious as a stitch and thread from the mother. The clothes woven by the queen mother are ugly, but when worn on the body, there will always be a surge of warmth. How he misses his former mother!

Although, the queen mother passed away for many years. However, Zhao Yong firmly believes that the queen mother has never left his side and accompanies him day and night.

Sima Wang's mother, who is only about forty-five years old, is the most beautiful youth. However, what Zhao Yong's eyes saw was an old woman with a haggard face, gray temples, and skinny. Perhaps, the departure of Sima Wang's father made this woman suffer all the ups and downs of life. If it weren't for the thought of the Wang family, she probably wouldn't have survived. This woman, with her weak body, supported the Sima family.

Zhao Yong's trip, one is to see the mother of the Wang family. The second is to inform her about the affairs of the wang family, so that the woman can prepare her heart. The moment he saw the woman, his lips trembled so much that he could not speak in any way. The wang clan is the woman's everything, and it is also the only hope she has left in this world. Let her know about the affairs of the Wang family. Does this woman still have the courage to live?

Back in Zhao Palace, Zhao Yong didn't say a word. This can be a big deal for the eunuch Ling Han Zhong. The wine and food sent by Han Zhong did not move at all. So, he asked Mu Jian for questioning. Mu Jian didn't hide it from him, and told him what happened. After hearing this, Han Zhong raised his head and stared at him, and said warmly: "You! So confused. The king's temperament is unknown to others, and you do not know either. ”

Mu Jian also regretted it a little and let Han Zhong scold.

When night fell, Zhao Yong's impetuous heart finally calmed down. With a calm mind, he thought carefully about what happened in the court today. He did not regret the decision to go on the expedition. Because he understood that Yan Guo sent troops to provoke, Zhao Guo let it go and did not react in any way. Not only did the princes' parliament say that Zhao was cowardly and incompetent, but the scholars of Zhao would also find this country chilling, especially the monarch of this country. Money can buy a temporary peace, and war will come. Rather than being underestimated by other countries, it is better to compete with them. Losing shows Zhao's determination not to allow other countries to covet its territory. At the same time, it also shows Zhao Jun's attitude.

War, even if it is an attitude, is also a kind of life.

Zhao Bao is right. Zhao Jun's move, if it is a little worse, will cause domestic turmoil. The New Deal has just improved, and because of this war, it has been in vain. Even so, Zhao Yong was determined to fight against the Yan Kingdom. The soldier said that it is the best policy not to fight the soldiers. However, the soldiers also said that if war cannot be avoided, it is not advisable to end the war with war. Zhao is a country of ten thousand times, if he does not fight and chooses to retreat, he can't do it.

The country of Zhao is in the land of four wars, and the Zhao family has a bloody backbone and is not afraid of force. If Yan Guo wants to fight, then fight with it. Between Yan and Zhao, you can also take advantage of this to divide the superiority. Whether it is the hundreds of years of Yan State that is strong in force, or the Zhao State that has been established for a hundred years is better. This teenager's heart is full of anticipation.

However, when Doctor Tian Buli said that a war could ensure peace between Yan and Zhao for several years, Zhao Yong was a little unable to think it through. So, Tian Buli and other people related to the main battle were summoned overnight.

Zhao Yong asked: "Everyone, Yan Zhao fights, which is stronger and which is weaker." ”

"In this battle, Zhao Guo's chances of winning are greater." Tian Buli said eloquently: "Although the Yan Kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, the trouble of Beihu is a cancer. If Beihu is not destroyed, it will be difficult for Yan to do anything. Second, the Yan State Division is unknown, how can it be against the righteous division of the Zhao State. Third, Yan fought for power and profit in the country, the hearts of the people of Zhao were stable, and the monarch Deze spread all over the territory of Zhao State. Therefore, the minister asserted that Zhao Guo had a better chance of victory. ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Why does Yan Guo still send troops to invade our country." ”

Tian Buli had long expected that the king would have such a question, so he was well prepared, and said: "Ji Zhou Tianxia, the country of ten thousand times is Qi, Wei, Chu, Qin, Han, Yan, Yue and Zhao. The country of a thousand times is Zhongshan, Yin Song, Lu, Wei and other countries. There are also many small countries. The Yan State is the Ji Zhou lineage, which is nothing more than to prove the existence of the Ji clan to the Central Plains vassal states, especially the existence of the Ji Zhou Northern Frontier and the Yan State. Yandi Beihan, weak political achievements, just resisting Beihu can not convince the vassal states. Yan went south, and there were Qi countries, Zhao countries, Zhongshan and other barriers. Qi and Zhongshan are allies, and Yan will not provoke the two countries. Therefore, he aimed at Zhao Guo. ”

"According to the information that the minister has learned, the monarch of the Yan State does not have the confidence to fight with my Zhao State. Yan Guo was not fully prepared for this war. The purpose of this dispatch of troops is to achieve the fruits of victory through the war, and to use this as an opportunity to force our country to cede part of the territory of Daigun. Second, the monarch of the Yan State was bewitched by the Qi people and the Qin people and his own ministers, and burned the national policy strategy of a great country. The minister concluded that the Yan State was not ready for a full-scale war with our country, and they would not send troops to invade our territory on a large scale. ”

Zhao Yong pondered and said: "Yan Zhao's battle can protect the balance for a few years. ”

This is a topic that is more concerned about as a monarch. War is inevitable, but after the war it is always time to plan ahead. Tian Buli nodded, stretched out five slender fingers, and said, "No more than five years at most." ”

The first battle of Yan and Zhao can ensure the peace of the border for five years. Zhao Yong was still a little disappointed in his heart about this number. The laborers went on an expedition, but they only exchanged for five years of peace. He looked at Tian Buli's calm and calm expression, wondering if it could be that the doctor had misjudged the situation after the war.

Tian Buli broke the thought in the king's heart, and said: "Today is a world of great disputes, and it is really commendable that Yan Zhao can maintain five years of autumn without committing any crimes. Your Majesty, you don't want a piece of paper to enjoy the peace of the border for decades. ”

Zhao Yong was stunned and said with a wry smile: "The widow doesn't dare to hope." ”
