"The prince of Zhongshan wants to marry Jia, cousin, what do you think?"

This time the courtship came suddenly, although Zhongshan is not strong, after all, it is also a state of a thousand times, and it is also closely following the footsteps of Zhao State, so it cannot be refused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

So Zhao Wuxian asked Prince Zhongshan and his entourage to go back to the pavilion first, and he himself casually asked Zhao Guangde's opinion in the palace.

Zhao Guangde has been named the king of the East China Sea, his fief Zhongwu population territory is not small, but the population is less than 100,000, most of the residents are Haidai Huaiyi, affected by the Central Plains there is no Xu Guoda, Zhao Guangde with a group of troops over, at best can reproduce the state of "Xia Jun Yimin" when Lu and Qi were sealed.

When he came to Yecheng this time, he was going to resign to Zhao Wuxian, but unexpectedly met the courtship of the prince of Zhongshan.

"Brother thinks it's ......" Zhao Guangde cautiously speculated on Zhao Wuxian's expression, he knew that Zhao Hou was extremely partial to Zhao Jia, named brother and sister, actually father and daughter, and he actually attached great importance to Jia's marriage in his heart.

So he boldly said: "My brother thinks that although Zhongshan is among the princes, it is still a small state of Rongdi, and he will be a little wronged if he marries in the past?" ”

"Then how do you say she will marry so that she is not wronged?" Zhao Wuxian said lightly while drinking tea.

"As the eldest daughter of Zhao State, she is worthy of a big country prince, such as Qin and Chu, the son of Qin and Jia have known each other since childhood, and the younger brother also heard that Chu Jun's age is only slightly younger than Jia......"

However, Zhao Guangde was wrong this time, but Zhao Wuxian had a different opinion: "Qin Chu's diet and climate are too different from Yecheng, and she has married thousands of miles away, I'm afraid she will not get used to it, besides, if Zhao State fights with Chu State, or breaks with Qin State again, won't she be in a dilemma, or be troubled?" “

Seeing this, Shi Qi on the side said abruptly: "The minister thinks that the prince of Zhongshan is a good match." ”

"Oh? Shi Qi, didn't you say a few days ago that you would let the widows send troops to attack Zhongshan, destroy this country, and turn it into a county? ”

Zhao Wuxian glanced at Shi Qi, this Shi Qi was originally from Chu State, and made great contributions in killing the prince of Jin and forcing the death of the Marquis of Jin, Zhao Wuxian also gave him an official reward, and now he is a county minister in Dongyang County, he is a person who will do whatever it takes to rank as prime minister, and crusading against Zhongshan is the best shortcut for him to mix military achievements.

Now, he strongly suggested that Zhao Wuxian agree to Zhongshan's marriage proposal, which must be strange.

"Could it be that you took bribes from the Zhongshan people and began to speak for them?" Although these words were a joke, when they came out of Zhao Hou's mouth, it was enough to punish his heart.

"How dare you do that." Shi Qi didn't panic, and said with a smile: "Soldier, treacherous, this marrying a princess is also one of the means to attack Zhongshan." ”

"What kind of means, you can tell me."

As a person who was extremely familiar with his cousin, Zhao Guangde found that Zhao Wuxian's voice had become cold in vain, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

But Shi Qi, who was immersed in the scheme, did not notice this change, and he said eloquently: "I heard that those who want to strengthen the country should do a wide range of things, and the Zhao country is now very large, east to the sea, west to Jing, south to Huai, and north to the Dai, but in the hinterland of Zhao State, there is still a prince, that is Zhongshan State!" This country controls the danger of Taihang, the key to Hebei, especially the terrain is very high, to the south, it looks down on Yecheng, as if it is a high-rise building, out of the drum, fat, under the cypress people, through Handan, less than seven or eight days to be able to soldiers in Yedu; To the west, it controls the well, cutting off the most convenient road between Yecheng and Jinyang. ”

"Therefore, Zhongshan must be removed! However, the country's terrain is undulating and densely forested, making it difficult for the army to find a road. Why didn't the monarch follow Zhiyao's strategy of breaking the enemy, first allowed him to marry, and agreed to let the princess marry, but deliberately sent him away in a luxury car. Zhongshan's request must be overjoyed after being answered, there is no doubt that there is him, in order to marry the princess, it is necessary to repair a road out, and the elite soldiers of Zhao State pretended to be concubines to send relatives, went deep into the capital of Zhongshan, suddenly broke out at the wedding banquet, killed the monarchs and ministers of Zhongshan State, and then joined the army outside. In this way, the Zhongshan can be broken, these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, Hutuo, Jingcheng, the prince can be his own! ”

The more he spoke, the more ugly Zhao Wuxian's face became, and Zhao Guangde had already felt the calm on the eve of the storm, and quietly took half a step back......

"Good, Shi Qi, you analyzed it well, but there is one thing wrong......

Zhao Wuxian suddenly picked up a bunch of brochures on the case, smashed it on Shi Qi's head, and scolded: "The widow is the lord of Zhuxia, a model for the people, if you want to take Zhongshan, you can go to the crusade in a dignified manner, it will be a few months, or half a year, Zhongshan will fall, do you need to use these three indiscriminate means!?" ”

"Although your strategy can capture Zhongshan, it is to put the lives of the princesses under the wall! If the princess has a half-point difference, your body can be killed, and your life can be punished! Get out! Don't talk about it again! ”

Shi Qi made good use of the Yin Damage scheme, but he didn't expect that he would inadvertently touch Zhao Hou's scales, and hurriedly retreated......

After coming out, recalling the situation in the hall, he couldn't help but sweat for his little life, and it was the first time he had seen Zhao Hou, who was so angry.

Although he was driven out, Shi Qi didn't think that he was wrong, but stomped his feet and sighed: "The king is smart, and he is confused for a while, and he is so kind to a woman. Since the son and daughter were born in the public office and enjoyed wealth and nobility when they were young, they were destined to contribute to the country. Either join the army and fight and be sealed in other places; Either marry early, as a reward to marry the princes and doctors. Now that the good master is so favored, he has even surpassed the prince and the prince, and it will inevitably cause disaster in the long run. This is not to love her, but to harm her, sooner or later, the prince will regret it! ”

……

On the other side, after blasting Shi Qi out, Zhao Wuxian's anger still did not subside, and the palace people all looked at each other, and their steps were lighter, not daring to provoke the prince.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore, the problem of Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao Wuxian really wants to solve it, but there are various means that can be used: cultivating spies, bribing important ministers, and raising troops to attack them. Or use a more lengthy method, that is, to completely Huaxia Zhongshan, conquer them politically, economically, and culturally, so that Zhongshan is no different from the ordinary counties and feudal territories of Zhao.

In short, why use shady means, but also take the happiness of relatives and even their lives? Through his own efforts, he has changed the fate of one Lady Mora, and will he create another Lady Mahara?

For Zhao Wuxian, his wife, children, and sister are all his counter-scales, and whoever touches him is unlucky.

Poor Zhao Guangde still had to tremble and continue to stay in the same room with Zhao Hou, but he heard Zhao Hou seem to discuss, and said as if announced: "The woman can marry after the marriage, and Jia is not too young, but the widow plans to let her choose her own son-in-law, what do you think?" ”

"Choose your own son-in-law!?"

Zhao Guangde was dumbfounded, the atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn Period was open, and it was common for women to choose their own sons-in-law, but it was the common people, or the family of the princes, once they reached the position of the princes, they had to pay attention to matching, not only the titles of the princes should be matched, but even the strength of the two countries should be matched, otherwise it would be "Qi Da is not a couple", Zhao Wuxian did this, which was a bit shocking.

However, Zhao Wuxian seemed to have made up his mind, and after nightfall, he returned to Changle Palace, and when discussing this matter with Ji Huan, he said: "Jia has a strong personality, if she marries a prince, or is married to the son of a meritorious minister, she will definitely be arrogant and not take her husband in her eyes, if I assign her to marry someone I don't like out of national political needs, it will hurt her." ”

"And if she chooses her own son-in-law, even if she only finds an ordinary scholar from Zhao State, the widow will admit it, I don't ask her to do anything for the country, I just want her to be happy with her future husband, be safe, and be able to ride a horse and laugh out loud every day like now."

After saying this, Zhao Wuxian felt stunned in his heart, as a father and brother, when he sent his sister and daughter to get married, he had this mentality, but no matter how unhappy or unhappy he was, he had to arrange this love for you properly, after all, this is related to her happiness for a lifetime.

As the eldest sister, Ji Huan also understands Zhao Wuxian's complicated feelings of wanting to choose a good partner for his sister, but he doesn't think Zhao Wuxian's plan is feasible.

She said disapprerovingly: "Jia's identity is noble, his temper is bad, and his vision is very high, what kind of character can win his heart?" ”

This is also a big problem, there is no ready-made candidate at hand, Zhao Wuxian's head began to hurt again, so he had to say: "The woman is fifteen and married, and she is married at twenty, and the days are long during this period, let her pick ......it slowly."

This incident upset Zhao Wuxian, and he had already decided to decline Zhongshan's marriage proposal tomorrow. But then I remembered that when I saw the prince of Zhongshan today, he looked like a talent, and he also had a love for his sister in his words, otherwise he would have given him a chance

"That's it, let the prince of Zhongshan wait in the garden outside the palace tomorrow, and let Jia take a look at him when he passes by to see if she likes it or not."

……

After making this decision, Zhao Wuxian didn't think much about it, and the next day he continued to devote himself to heavy court affairs, Zhao's army needed to be reformed, canals and ditches needed to be channeled, and the autumn harvest needed to be arranged. Abroad, the changes that Qin, Chu, and Yue began one after another, and he also had to consider whether he needed to intervene forcibly.

However, around noon, he heard a commotion coming from the temple gate, and Zhao Wuxian frowned and asked what was the matter? Eunuch Ning had already guided the two women in palace clothes in.

But it was Ji Huan, as well as Zhao Jia's mother Jinjuan, both of whom were burnt. It can be seen that Jin Juan has completely panicked, and Ji Huan's face is also solemn, and he hurriedly saluted Zhao Wuxian and said, "Junhou, something happened." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wuxian felt bad and hurriedly asked.

"Today, Jia went to see the prince of Zhongshan, and only later did she learn that she was riding a horse and carrying a bow!"

……

At the same time, in a garden outside the Changle Palace, the prince of Zhongshan, who had opened his bow left and right in the hunting ground of Zhongshan and had been hunted countless times, did not expect that he would ask for a marriage, but he asked for an unwarranted disaster.

It happened suddenly, and he was waiting in the pavilion on the orders of Zhao Hou, but he suddenly became the prey - Zhao Jia's prey.

Zhao Jia's dress is the same as that day, this pretty girl who is a little neutral and beautiful is wearing a strong suit, and the sable fur fur is tight-fitting leather armor inside, which is very sassy. It's just that her eyes are like an angry female tiger, staring coldly at Xian Yuyan.

Behind her, there was a female rider with a crossbow machine, the same four girls who played polo with her, and they were also as pale as Xian Yuyan, and they thought that the princess was just joking to scare the foreign prince, so they followed with a grin. Unexpectedly, she urged the horse to run to the front of the pavilion, but without saying a word, she directly picked up the big bow, opened the bow and arrows, and shot Xian Yuyan's two attendants to death in a pool of blood on the spot.

And at this moment, this "lady" who made the prince of Zhongshan fall in love opened her bow again and aimed at her prey. This is the first time Zhao Jia has killed someone in her life, her eyelashes trembled slightly, but her hands were still stable, maintaining the posture of letting go of the arrow, her hands and feet were slender, and the posture of holding the bow and shooting was extremely good-looking, and she was indescribably heroic.

But Xian Yuyan didn't have time to appreciate it, he was already six gods and no master.

"Daughter, why is that!?" He asked, dumbfounded.

A trace of shame flashed in Zhao Jia's eyes, his lips pursed lightly, and he said disdainfully: "The noble descendant of the Xuanniao, how can you marry the son of the lowly Zhai Dog!?" ”

With that, she let go of her hand, and the arrow came out of the string!
