The content of Fan Ying's letter caught Zhao Wuxian and the doctors a little off guard.

"Fan Bo's methods are really unpredictable, terrifying!" After watching it, Fu Chau sighed.

They originally thought that after the Battle of Chengxiang, even if Zhuqing didn't fight, it would be a protracted confrontation and court competition, but who knew that Fan Ying would choose to back down so quickly.

If he had changed Zhao Ying before he fainted, he would definitely not be so resigned, but now after turning around at the big and young orders, his personality seems to have converged......

"I am willing to reconcile with Fan Bo, what do the second and third sons think?"

Zhao Ying was naturally extremely angry at Fan and Bank of China's behavior of pretending to be thieves and attacking their own territory when he was unable to be a director, and hated that he couldn't personally command Zhao Bing, so he directly went to arrest Zhongxingyin and others for questioning.

However, with the current strength of the Zhao clan around Xinjiang, this cannot be done at all. Fan Ying said that the matter was a misunderstanding, and while Zhao sneered, he was powerless to pursue it, and if he continued to maintain this state of open hostility, it would not be beneficial to both sides.

What's more, "the brothers are on the wall, and the outside is humiliated", the two foreign enemies of Qi and Zheng have begun to attack, and the princes they summoned are all over the Jin Kingdom, like a chain, if they don't act, they will firmly tie the Jin Kingdom.

Forced by the situation, Fan Ying took the initiative to choose reconciliation, even though Zhao Ying was unwilling, he also felt that agreeing was the best choice. When external troubles arise, internal strife can only come to an end, which is the unwritten rule of the Jin Kingdom for two hundred years.

Dong Anyu, the mastermind of the Zhao family, agreed: "In the battle of Yanling in the past, Luan Wuzi wanted to fight, Fan Wenzi did not want to fight, Fan Wenzi once asserted that if all the princes rebelled, the secretaries of the Jin State would be unanimous to the outside world. The country will be stable. If there is no external trouble, there will be internal trouble, and the same is true of today. Qi and Zheng are external troubles, if they don't do their best. The descendants will be weak, so the princes of the Jin State will be harmonious. ”

At that time, the Zhao family was unwilling to reconcile, because the loud bang in Chengxiang and the advantage gained by entering the palace without mercy would instantly transform into the disadvantage of "not knowing the overall situation". Fan Ying, an old jackal, even has a murderous intention hidden in the reconciliation letter, but it is actually a strategy of retreating as advance.

"The Jin Kingdom was entangled in infighting at this time. That will only cheapen the Marquis of Qi, if the princes rebel, all the east of Taihang will be lost, and it will not be good for the Zhao family. ”

Although the Jin generals are now out of alliance, the position of the overlord, in addition to the false name, also has many practical benefits, such as the tribute of the princes, as well as the legal expansion and occupation of the surrounding land. Therefore, Duke Wen of Jin was able to carry the banner of respecting the king and obtaining the anointed "land of Nanyang". In the next hundred years, the Duke of Jin Xianggong encroached on the royal territories north of Yi and Luo, and arbitrarily divided and transferred the territories of the minor princes.

Although Zhao Wuxian deeply hated the loss caused by Erqing to Chengxiang. But he also agreed.

"The kid also agrees, because, war, is just an extension of court politics!"

This remark was deafening, which surprised Zhao Ying and the four doctors present.

That's right, when Zhuqing was at war, it was the norm of the Jin State and even the Zhuxia State, and its purpose. All in order to gain an advantage in domestic politics. If you take advantage of the steps handed over by Fan Ying, you can use it again. You can gain such an advantage and buy time for your own growth. Why do we have to fight?

Yin Duo and Fu Suo agreed with Zhao Wuxian's words: "Yi Yun, the gentleman uses the weapon to remove the weapon, and he is not safe." Therefore, the husband and soldier cannot be played, and must be cautious. ”

What's more, Fan also took the initiative to offer some compensation for this "misunderstanding".

Fan Ying expressed his willingness to "persuade" the Marquis of Jin to release Le Qi, who had been imprisoned for a year, and let him return to the Song Kingdom. In this way, Zhao's goal of winning over Le's and seeking a strong boost abroad can be completed.

In addition, the Fan family will also secretly compensate the Zhao family for a large amount of money, silk, corn, and potters. But those potters, Zhao Wuxian felt that there must be people loyal to the Fan family who planned to sneak in and steal the secret recipe of porcelain, and the fool would bring them back.

And Fan Jia and BOC Heiqiu will also be punished, expelled back to the family territory, and will not be allowed to return to Xinjiang before the crown ceremony.

So, that's it?

"Of course not, as my son said, the war is just a continuation of court politics, and this reconciliation is just a truce for several years!"

Zhao Ying pulled out his long sword, cracked the case with one sword, and said through gritted teeth.

"This revenge is not avenged, just like this case!"

……

The time soon entered October, Fan and Zhao secretly discussed the matter of compensation, and reached a superficial reconciliation, and the situation around Xinjiang was also eased for a while, in Zhao Wuxian's words, it was the external contradictions that overpowered the internal contradictions.

In terms of external publicity, the pot of this matter was finally carried on the head of the Luliang group of thieves, so Rong Zihu Ying did not get the status of a scholar promised by the Bank of China, but was jointly surrounded and suppressed by the Zhuqing. A total of more than 1,000 people were captured by the group of thieves in the mountains, including women and children, and they were reluctantly transferred by Zhong Xingyin to the Zhao family's hooligans as compensation for farming.

It is not pleasant to cut off one arm and then give it to the enemy.

The fox baby escaped with more than 100 elites, and under the fright, he led people towards the deep forest in the north of the mountain. Anyway, Luliang stretches for hundreds of miles, deep in the mountains and old forests, there are many tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards, and it is impossible for Zhu Qing to chase all the way, this person is so nowhere to be found.

Bank of China Heiqiu and Fan Jia took the blame for themselves, and were dismissed from their duties in the Yuqi Palace, and they were repatriated to the territory of the two families, and they were not allowed to return for three years.

Subsequently, Zhao Ying entered Xinjiang for the first time after recovering from his illness and met the Marquis of Jin in the Qiqi Palace.

He analyzed the situation in the world to the monarch: "The Marquis of Qi and Zheng Guo instigated the princes to rebel against the Jin, among the princes, only the Song State is still serving the Jin State faithfully and welcoming their envoys. The generals of Jin and Qi are fighting without the assistance of the Song Kingdom, and please think twice and release Lebo as soon as possible! ”

This truth, where would the secretaries of the Jin State and the monarch not understand? It is only because of the competition between Sui Fan, Zhao and Le's that the diplomacy of the Song State has been achieved, which has caused the current situation.

Since it is rumored that Fan and Zhao have secretly reconciled, Fan Ying and Zhong Xingyin agreed to release Le Qi, and Zhibo, who has always been kind to the Marquis of Jin, believes in the way of goodness like water, so naturally he will not jump out and block it, so the matter is decided.

So far, this year-long confrontation has led to the confrontation between the two major Qing clan groups in the Jin Kingdom. Two political battles that almost led to all-out wars resulted in hundreds of casualties and a reversal of the market situation. and the release of Le Qi as the end.

Overall, Zhao. Narrowly managed to win the eventually.

After hearing the news, Le Lingzi, who was entering the palace with Yi Bian Que to treat his father, heard the news, but there were joys and sorrows in his heart, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

……

At this time, Chengxiang had just replaced the mourning manuscript and ink.

The reason why it was so fast was because Zhao Wuxian did not agree with Zigong's temporary Confucian illness, and proposed to him that the scholars and countrymen should serve the dead Kun's father and brother "three years of mourning and three months of mourning".

Zigong has been in Jiangxian these days, and he is also frightened by the surrounding situation. When the market began to circulate that "Zhao Qing is dead". His subordinates, the Shangjia people who came to defend the country, advised him to flee this place of right and wrong quickly, but Zigong refused.

"The so-called scholars, do not disgrace the mission, the gentleman trusts me, let me be in charge of the goods in the market, and now I listen to the rumors in the market, I abandon my duty and run away, and I am not a scholar! The gentleman has sent horsemen and countrymen to protect us, and the second and third sons are afraid. Please leave on your own! ”

His words stabilized the hearts of the businessmen in Chengxiang, and they persisted until the turn of October, when the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed.

Afterwards. Zigong returned to Chengxiang, and looked at the former well-off township into the devastated ruins in front of him, and couldn't help but feel regret and pity.

However, he quickly encouraged himself: "After the great war, people have made up their minds, and this is a good time to persuade the gentleman to promote the manners of the Master!" ”

So after Zigong explained many matters in Jiang City to Wuxian, he admonished: "Please calm the hearts of the people with a solemn funeral and make the people know the etiquette." ”

For this proposal, Zhao Wuxian is as good as a stream.

He had already promised. will make the meritorious townsmen who die, and even the military horses who die for him. All of them are buried by priests! Although he did not approve of the "thick burial" custom of this era, he couldn't bear the fact that most people attached great importance to the world after death. Unless it is a cruel thing like human burial, it is not good to interfere too much, and you can only hope to be subtle.

What's more, Qin Mugong suffered a crushing defeat in the two expeditions to Jin that year, and it was by burying the fallen soldiers that he united the hearts of the Qin people, and finally won a partial victory.

So, in order to continue to buy people's hearts, Wuxian followed this suggestion. However, he also played a little trick: he had already issued a decree that Chengxiang was buried, bronze ware was not allowed to accompany the burial, and the gentleman would give porcelain as "Ming ware" compensation.

"Don't look at the bright luster of bronze, but if you don't use special technology to prevent corrosion, after entering the soil, it will be dull in just a few months, and after a few years, it will even wither into slag. But porcelain, pottery will never be bad, just because their material is soil, dust to dust, soil to soil, from now on, into the countryside funeral, pottery, porcelain is precious! ”

Copper is a precious war resource, and it is needed for blades and mechanical construction, so how can it be buried deep underground?

Zigong didn't care about this, after agreeing without sympathy, he was overjoyed, and wanted to go further, so he said: "The master once said that the three-year mourning is also the mourning of the whole world, and the Kunfu brothers, three months is enough, please ask the gentleman to use the form of a decree to let the township take this as a benchmark." ”

Of course, Zigong didn't elaborate, before Confucius said this, Zigong's senior brother Zai Yu first put forward: "Three years of mourning, the period is too long, and the kid thinks that one year of filial piety is enough".

Among the students of Confucius, Zai Yu can be said to be the least favorite student of the master, he once slept day and was scolded by Confucius: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be encircled!" ”

Zigong remembered that because of the mourning, the master also criticized Zai Yu for being "unkind".

The gentleman only agreed to mourn the soldiers who died in battle with the etiquette respected by the master, which can be described as good; And the gentleman who once stopped obeying death and was known as a benevolent person should agree with it.

However, the realist Zhao Wuxian quit, and in this article, he is even more "unkind" than Zai Yu. (To be continued)
