Chapter 212: Banquet in the Palace (2)

Lin Wu nodded slightly and echoed Zhao Wuming: "This is indeed the case, the biggest difference between the Central Plains and my clan is actually these rituals." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"My Han country is of different races on all sides, so I also have a great understanding of the word etiquette. If it weren't for Lile, how could we know etiquette, righteousness, and shame, and if it weren't for Lile's set of human ethics, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much difference between my race and that foreign race." Qu Yuze hurriedly spoke.

Zhao Yu listened to the words of the two and looked at Zhao Yong: "Your uncle's words must be taken to heart, don't be naughty and skip school without authorization, and treat the way of sages as a playful thing."

"The child will remember the words of his father, and from now on he will learn the ways of the sages." Zhao Yong replied respectfully to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked around at Lin Wu and Qu Yuze and smiled: "The prince is stubborn and often likes to skip school, which makes the two of them laugh."

"It's nature to be active, so why is it stubborn." Qu Yu asked Zhao Yu rhetorically.

Lin Wu also looked at Zhao Yu, and his expression was a little depressed when he didn't know what he thought: "The words and deeds of the prince of your country are decent, which makes my son think of the dead child and envy in his heart."

"Dead children?". Zhao Yu looked at Lin Wu with some doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Wuming and Qu Yuze also had the same expression, and they had never heard Lin Wu talk about it.

Lin Wu saw that he was speechless, but he didn't hide it immediately after the words were spoken, but his tone was a little low and sad: "On the way to escape, my son's wife and children were all killed in the clan, which made people sad."

Zhao Yu and the three of them were silent, and seeing Lin Wu's lonely expression, they persuaded him: "Please also mourn."

"Once my father dies in the clan, I will ask King Zhao to borrow troops to return to China with me to take revenge." Lin Wu listened to the words of the three of them, and immediately looked at Zhao Yu and asked him.

Zhao Yu showed a look of embarrassment for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Lin Wu took the opportunity to say what he could pay, and said to Zhao Yu again: "If this prince successfully returns to China and ascends to the throne, I am willing to give the land of Shi Zhu as a thank you gift with both hands."

"The widow is very excited, but judging from the current situation in my Zhao country, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do." Zhao Yu pondered for a long time, but still rejected Lin Wu's request.

Lin Wu looked at Zhao Yu with some unwillingness, and continued to ask him: "This son is not asking King Zhao to send troops to help me return to China immediately, but on the day of my father's death or after his death. If that person Zhao has more than enough strength, please also ask King Zhao to help."

Zhao Yu pondered and hesitated, and sent troops to help the prince of another country restore the throne, this matter is indeed a great benefit for Zhao Guo.

Seeing that Zhao Yu was contemplative and speechless, Lin Wu looked nervously. Zhao Wuming and Qu Yu glanced at each other, eating wine and food by themselves, waiting for Zhao Yu's reply.

Zhao Yu thought for a long time and finally made a decision, looked at Lin Wu and shook his head slightly: "Even if the situation in my Zhao Kingdom is stable, I will not have food and grass to send troops, I am afraid that I will disappoint my son."

When Lin Wu heard Zhao Yu's reply, his eyes were full of loneliness. If Zhao does not send troops, where can he ask for assistance, he will return to China to take revenge. Thinking of this, he looked at Qu Yuze, who was sitting on the side, and shook his head slightly in his heart. The Han State is in the land of four wars, and although it has some strength now, it is only difficult to withstand in the face of Donghu and Xiongnu. At this time, it is even more aggressive to invade Lou Fu, and where can I have the spare strength to help myself.

Could it be Yiqu? Yiqu and Lin Hu are mortal enemies, and they may be killing themselves by sending troops to intercede. While he was thinking, his eyes looked at Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Yong seemed to feel something, ate the meal quickly, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up and saluted Zhao Yu: "Father, the child has eaten enough, and I want to go back to the house to watch the Book of Poetry."

"It's rare for my son to be so diligent in studying, go ahead." Zhao Yu heard Zhao Yong's request, and a smile spread in his heart.

Zhao Yong got a reply, turned around and walked outside the main hall. It's clear that they're about to talk about government affairs in there, and it's better to wait for that time.

Watching Zhao Yong walk away, Zhao Wuming said to Zhao Yu: "Big brother, it will not be too late to reply about sending troops to help Lin Wu's Hui clan in the future. Although King Lin Hu is seriously ill, it is not known when he will die, and if he has the spare strength to send troops to help at that time, it will be beneficial to Zhao State."

"This?". Zhao Yu's words have been said just now, but what Zhao Wuming said is not reasonable.

Lin Wu hurriedly agreed: "I'm not too eager at this time, and it's not too late to give an answer after my father dies."

"Since Lin Hu Gongzi said so, the widow will be thinking about it at that time." Although Zhao Yu said this, his eyes were looking at Zhao Wuming. Obviously, he had other plans, but the presence of Lin Wu and Qu Yuze was not suitable for them to say.

Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time glanced at Zhao Wuming gratefully, and then stood up and saluted Zhao Yu: "Thank you Zhao Wang for your kindness."

"The widow just said that he would consider it when the time came, and he didn't agree immediately, so why should Lin Hu Gongzi be so anxious." Zhao Yu saw Lin Wu bowing and saluting, and asked with a smile.

Lin Wu's mind turned quickly, and he replied respectfully to Zhao Yu: "If it weren't for King Zhao's invitation today, I'm afraid that I would have been forcibly brought back to the country by the envoy of my clan, and where would I still be alive at this time." Therefore, it is a matter of course to thank King Zhao for his great grace."

"If it weren't for Lin Hu Gongzi to tell the truth, I'm afraid today's things would be difficult to be good, and I would have said that Xie should be a widow." Zhao Yu thought of today's arrogant envoy Lin Hu and Lou Fu's envoy, and sighed slightly at Lin Wu. In the face of the pressure exerted by the two clans, the current situation in Zhao is indeed difficult to resist.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yu and Lin Wu, and stood up with the wine bottle: "Thank you for coming and thanking for each other, it's better to drink together, eldest brother, Lin Wu, Qu Yuze, are you right to say this?"

"The words of the fourth brother are reasonable". Zhao Yu heard Zhao Wuming's words, and also stood up with the wine bottle and looked at Lin Wu and Qu Yuze: "Thank you two for helping you today, the widow is grateful."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands". Qu Yuze stood up and held the wine bottle with Lin Wu.

The four of them toasted at the same time, and then sat back in their seats.

Speaking of today's scene, Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming and asked him: "The envoys of Lou Fu and Lin Hu joined forces to exert pressure on the widow, and the widow sent the eunuch Huang Hao to invite the fourth brother to come and discuss. I heard that the fourth brother's bodyguard, Sun Buer, didn't care about this matter, but the people in your mansion already knew about Lin Hu Gongzi and the Han envoy? “。

"Naturally, I already knew." Zhao Wuming replied to Zhao Yu, and added another sentence after speaking: "When the envoys of the two clans were bumped into by the younger brother when they entered Handan, the eldest brother still remembers."

Zhao Yu heard Zhao Wuming mention the matter of the envoys of the two clans entering Handan, and replied without thinking: "For this matter, the envoys of the two clans have been making trouble in the palace for a while, how could the widow forget about it." It is said that it was the envoy who secretly cut off the hands of a common man, saying that he had stolen the envoy's belongings."

When the younger brother returned to the mansion that day, he went to visit the man, and learned from him that he was from Xincheng. His parents and children lost their lives when the Lou Fan and Lin Hu tribes went south, and followed the army to Handan. When he heard that an envoy was coming, he felt malice. Although he infiltrated the envoys, he couldn't bear to be poisoned, so he stole a silk letter in a panic." Zhao Wuming thought of the scene at that time and explained to Zhao Yu.
