Chapter 314: There Are Twists and Turns
Su Qin saw that Meng Ting's face was oozing with fragrant sweat slightly, her face was pale, and she looked haggard and sleepy. He smiled tenderly at Meng Ting, but Meng Ting was very calm, and she also accompanied the other generals of the Zhao State to pay tribute to Su Qin.
Su Qin nodded lightly at Meng Ting, his concerned eyes swept over Meng Ting's face, and when his eyes met, Su Qin deliberately stayed for a moment longer, but Meng Ting motioned for him to talk to Zhao Xi more with his eyes.
Su Qin then invited Zhao Xi to ride the prime minister's carriage with him and returned to Linyun City together. Zhao Xi was humble at first: "How dare you encroach on the respect of the prime minister." But later, he couldn't resist Su Qin's strong invitation, and was still invited to the car.
When the two were in the car, Su Qin first asked about the domestic political affairs of Zhao State, because he served as the real prime minister of Zhao State, although he entrusted political affairs to Feiyi, he was always concerned and did not dare to ignore them.
Zhao Xi replied: "The monarch seems to be interested in reforming the government, and in recent times, he has repeatedly consulted the children of the clan and the old ministers, and he is brewing steps and measures for change in his heart. ”
Su Qin listened carefully, and he also paid attention to Zhao Hou Zhao Yu's movements, so he asked, "Then based on Dr. Zhao's observation, do you think the king's innovation can be implemented smoothly?" ”
Zhao Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, he might be hesitating whether he should tell Su Qin the truth, and then replied: "I don't want to hide Prime Minister Su Cheng, I personally feel that although the monarch's desire to innovate is strong, he is too constrained by the opposition of Zhao Wen, Zhao Zao, Zhao Jun and other clans and old ministers, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a decision for a while." ”
When Su Qin heard Zhao Xi's opinion, he also nodded approvingly, and said, "I am moved by Doctor Zhao's straightforward opinion, and I also have the same impression as you." The stakes are so important and wide-ranging that I am afraid that any monarch will hesitate again and again. ”
Zhao Xi sighed and said: "This dynasty is difficult to implement, but there must be a day when it is implemented, otherwise it will be difficult for Zhao to return, and there is no hope of revival." ”
Su Qin also knew that Zhao Xi was a child of the clan who agreed with the reform of the Zhao dynasty, and he was a rare person with a certain amount of insight in the Zhao State, who was in power among the powerful ministers and the clan.
Su Qin comforted Zhao Xi and said: "How can I not know what Dr. Zhao is worried about, but we might as well take a long-term view, in the future, when the new monarch ascends the throne, maybe the new person will have a new atmosphere, and then the appearance will be completely new." ”
The "new monarch" mentioned by Su Qin refers to Zhao Yong, the crown prince of the current Zhao State, the nephew of the Meng sisters, and the hope of the Meng family. This person is young and promising, decisive and resolute, and his knowledge is extraordinary, Su Qin is very optimistic about him, so he also reminded Zhao Xi to pay attention to this.
Zhao Xi's eyes really lit up, and he showed some relief. said: "With Prime Minister Su's words, I, Zhao Xi, will be relieved." ”
He opened his heart and said, "To be honest, I am still worried that Su Cheng has an opinion on the crown prince Zhao Yong, and I am unwilling to support him. It seems that I was too worried, it turned out that Prime Minister Su Cheng had already made his own opinion, very relieved, very relieved! ”
When Su Qin heard this, he said in his heart: "How could I embarrass the crown prince Zhao Yong, when I supported him as the prince, I personally admonished Zhao Hou!" ”
However, Su Qin thought about it instead: "The Meng family is tight-lipped enough, and they haven't mentioned this secret to others so far, so even Zhao Xi, who is close to the Meng family, doesn't know about it." It seems that the Meng family has put a lot of effort into their niece Zhao Yong. ”
Su Qin replied to Zhao Xi: "I have no reason not to support the crown prince Zhao Yong, and besides, I also pin my hopes on this young prince who dares to act, and I hope that he will be able to do something great in the future." ”
In the conversation between Su Qin and Zhao Xi, there was a lot of tentativeness, both of them were in power in Zhao State, so they not only paid attention to the current Zhao State government, but also cared about the future development trend. After some temptation, they found that each other's views on the future Zhao dynasty were very similar.
Zhao Xi was very pleased, he said: "In this way, my hard work is not in vain, and with this promise from Prime Minister Su, I am willing to fully support Prime Minister in the battle in Anyi." Although I am just a civil servant, if the prime minister has a useful place, Zhao Xi will never refuse. ”
Su Qin also replied: "With the help of Dr. Zhao, I am very lucky!" Luckily! At the same time, a suspicion also arose in his heart: "Could it be that Zhao Xi was unwilling to lead reinforcements to Anyi before?" Otherwise, how could there be such a statement? ”
He was determined to be alone with Meng Ting at night, and then carefully learn from her about the process before and after Zhao sent reinforcements this time. He hadn't seen Zhao Jun for a long time, and he was waiting for the rescue to finally come, knowing that there must be twists and turns.
Su Qin also comforted Zhao Xi and said: "Doctor Zhao is too modest, why won't Wenchen fight." I didn't know anything about it, but after a few experiences, I naturally understood the truth. Now he is also commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight decently. ”
Zhao Xi arched his hand and replied to Su Qin: "Then I will favor Prime Minister Su, give me more advice, and let me understand military operations." ”
Su Qin and Zhao Xipan talked for half an hour, and Zhao Jun all drove into Linyun City. Su Qin was busy again, joined forces with Chen Xu, commanded the logistics miscellaneous in the army, and placed the Zhao army.
It wasn't until the evening that Su Qin returned to the big tent, and at this time, Meng Ting had already arranged the wine and food, waiting for his arrival. When Su Qin entered the account, Meng Ting greeted him, took off his armor, and the two sat down hand in hand.
While eating, Su Qin mentioned Meng Ting's return to Handan. Su Qin said gratefully: "Ting'er is really hard, I can get your help, I, Su Qin, am really blessed." ”
Meng Ting poured wine for Su Qin and replied: "What is blessed or not, it is what a little woman should do, what is the hardship, why be polite to me." ”
Su Qin said: "I'm not polite at all, it's a thank you from the bottom of my heart." Tell us about what you've seen along the way. ”
Meng Ting replied: "I set off from Linyun City that day, and I didn't dare to delay all the way, and I returned to Handan City in one day and one night. ”
Su Qin handed over Xie Mengting and said, "You also said that you are not hard, Handan City is more than five hundred miles away from here, and you rushed back without resting, and you are tired of running around." No wonder when I first met you, I found you a little out of spirits. ”
Meng Ting smiled at Su Qin, with her lover's thoughtful words, she couldn't suppress the joyful emotions in her heart, and replied: "I didn't expect Ji Zi to observe so carefully, no wonder outside the east gate, you stare at people endlessly, and people are embarrassed." ”
Meng Ting recalled the scene outside the East Gate, and her face suddenly flushed with shame, but she was very calm at that time. Su Qin saw that her face was flushed, and her tenderness was like water, and she couldn't help but kiss her cheeks.
