Chapter 253: Zuo Zhi
In a mansion in Jicheng, Zhao Wuming and others sat down as guests. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a maid brought wine and food, and then the fish came out.
Zuo Zhi picked up the wine bottle and looked at Zhao Wuming, and toasted at him: "The King of Han came all the way to my Yan Kingdom, and the old man has nothing else but a bottle of wine to pay tribute to the King of Han."
"Eunuch Decree Please". Zhao Wuming picked up the wine bottle on the desk and returned the salute to Zuo Zhi.
Zuo Zhi looked around at Zhao Wuming, Qingque, and Sun Buji with an apologetic look: "There is no one to accompany you in a hurry, and I ask King Han to forgive me."
"The eunuch ordered to be polite, if it wasn't for the eunuch's order, I am afraid that I would be alone in that prison. With such kindness, how dare Lone blame it." Zhao Wuming replied to Zuo Zhi.
Zuo Zhi's expression did not change when he heard Zhao Wuming's words, he just looked at him with a smile and did not say anything.
Zhao Wuming was a little puzzled, and asked Zuo Zhi: "The eunuch Ling looks lonely like this, but what is the matter?"
"Please forgive the old man for being rude, I don't know why the King of Han is here?" Zuo Zhi didn't beat around the bush and asked Zhao Wuming about his intentions.
Zhao Wuming looked at Zuo Zhi's unthinking reply: "I came to envoy Yan Guo on the order of my eldest brother."
"So the King of Han came in the name of the fourth prince of King Zhao Cheng?" Zuo Zhi continued to ask Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming shook his head slightly: "Yes and no."
"I want to hear about it". Zuo Zhi looked at Zhao Wuming with a deferential look.
Zhao Wuming explained to Zuo Zhi: "Lone is the king of Han, and he came as an envoy of Zhao. One is to send troops to Zhongshan, and the other is to send troops to Donghu".
"Zhongshan Kingdom and my Yan Kingdom are both countries with the surname Ji, and if the King of Han asks my country to send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate." Zuo Zhi replied to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming asked Zuo Zhi rhetorically: "Wei and Yan are also both countries with the surname Ji, why didn't Yan see Yan in the battle of Qi and Wei."
"King Han is eloquent, but it's a pity that these words are useless to ask the old man." Zuo Zhi didn't answer Zhao Wuming's question, but just picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
Zhao Wuming looked at Zuo Zhi's expression, knowing that he didn't say much on this topic, so he wasn't looking for fun.
Zuo Zhi put down the wine bottle and looked at Zhao Wuming: "The old man invited the King of Han to come, and he just wanted to tell the King of Han one thing."
"I don't know what's going on." Zhao Wuming looked at Zuo Zhi and asked him.
Zuo Zhi looked at Zhao Wuming's lips and moved, but still said to him: "Today, the king ordered the Yun family to go to Yuyang to discuss the marriage between the prince and the daughter of the Yun family."
"What does the eunuch mean by this?" Zhao Wuming raised a trace of anger and frowned slightly.
Zuo Zhi heard the anger in Zhao Wuming's tone and hurriedly explained: "The old man just told King Han one thing, and he didn't mean anything else."
"Some things are also good to ask the eunuch not to say, this time Yan Gu came with sincerity, if you turn friends into enemies because of some things, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses." Zhao Wuming felt a hint of leaving in his heart, and the scene that happened when he entered Jicheng just now did not have a very good impression of Yan Guo. So when he said this, he was a little more angry.
Zuo Zhi was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Zhao Wuming's reaction to be so big, it seemed that he would need to talk to the king when he returned to the palace. Thinking of this, he diverted the topic and asked him: "The king of Han just said Donghu?"
"I, the Han State, am willing to join hands with the Yan State to jointly send troops to Donghu." Zhao Wuming said to Zuo Zhi without thinking.
Zuo Zhi nodded slightly when he heard Zhao Wuming say these words in person, and the intention of King Han was really the same as what he and others had guessed: "Whether it is to send troops to Zhongshan Kingdom or Donghu, it is not up to the old man to call the shots." Therefore, the old man will inform my king of what the king of Han has said, and it will not be too late for him to discuss with the king of Han in detail at a later date."
"In that case, I'll leave and talk about it later." Seeing Zuo Zhi's words, Zhao Wuming stood up directly from his seat and asked Zuo Zhi to resign.
Zuo Zhi hurriedly stood up and saluted in return, and ordered outside the house: "Bring things up."
Several guards each came out with a small wooden box, and Zhao Wuming and the others showed puzzled looks.
"The old man said that there was a small gift." After Zuo Zhi finished speaking, he looked at the guards, and the guards opened the small wooden box in their hands. One by one, money bags appeared in wooden boxes, no more, no less, exactly thirteen.
Zhao Wuming looked at Zuo Zhi, and Zuo Zhi explained to them: "King Han is the king, so he naturally doesn't care about these money, but it is inevitable to be embarrassed if he has no money in his hand at this time. The people of my Yan Kingdom stole the money and silk, and the old decay returned it for them."
"It is better to be respectful than to obey orders". Zhao Wuming didn't postpone it, turned around and walked out after speaking. Zuo Zhi got up to see him off, and several guards saw this and followed one after another.
Zuo Zhi watched Zhao Wuming and the others walk away, and instructed the people in the house: "Quickly prepare the car and enter the palace to meet the king."
"Yes". The guards bowed, and a carriage appeared outside the mansion a short time later.
Zuo Zhi walked directly onto the carriage, and the coachman waved his whip and galloped towards the palace.
……
In the palace, Zuo Zhi hurriedly walked to a palace, and a voice came from the front: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if the eunuch is okay during this time?"
"The old slave has seen the prince". There was a middle-aged man walking in front of him, his body was a little fat, and his appearance was similar to that of Yan Wang. Zuo Zhi raised his head and hurriedly saluted him, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
Ji Hao looked at Zuo Zhi's appearance, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart: "I heard that Zhao Guo came to envoy, do you know who the envoy is?"
"Why did the prince suddenly ask about this?". Zuo Zhi was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest abnormal look on his face.
Ji Hao shook his head: "Lone just asked casually, the eunuch order must be in such a hurry that there must be something important to report to his father." Lonely will not bother, farewell".
"Congratulations to the prince". Watching Ji Hao walk away, Zuo Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I walked directly to the palace in front.
Footsteps sounded in the hall, and Ji Zheng turned around to see Zuo Zhi and immediately asked, "Why did you come back so early?"
"The old slave is guilty, and he asks the king to surrender." Zuo Zhi saluted respectfully and asked Ji Zheng for his guilt.
Ji Zheng couldn't help frowning: "Please?".
"The identity of the old slave was recognized by the King of Han". Zuo Zhi didn't explain in advance, and immediately said his guilt.
Ji Zheng saw that Zuo Zhi was so calm, but he was puzzled: "King Han has never met you, how can he see through your identity?"
"The old slave was wandering around the city on the order of the king, and happened to meet the king of Han ......." Zuo Zhi faced Ji Zheng and told him what he had just seen.
Ji Zheng listened carefully, and then sighed: "It's better to know your identity than to be imprisoned by King Han, but I didn't expect him to see the Yun family and the people of the Prince's Mansion."
"The old slave asked the king of Han to go to the palace to chat, and during the chat, he deliberately told the king about sending Yun Miao back to Yuyang County, and as a result, he heard a little anger from the words of the king of Han." Zuo Zhi deliberately said this to Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng looked embarrassed: "The widow summoned the prince and sent Yun Miao to Yuyang just because he didn't want the King of Han to bump into them. But I don't want to do a thousand calculations, but it is still difficult to defeat the will of heaven."
"Does the king see the king of Han immediately?". Zuo Zhi asked Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng shook his head slightly and immediately rejected this proposal: "Even if you want to see it, you have to wait for a month, you can find a way to push it away, and at the same time pay close attention to the prince and never make a mistake."
"Obey". Zuo Zhi bowed to Ji Zheng to receive the order.
