Chapter 50: Strange and Familiar
"The person who gave you the fan back then?" Xia Yongmei asked, "Do you have any other information?" ”
Xia Wanyi shook her head and said, "Although Erchen saw his dignity two years ago, it was also after he disguised himself, and he was masked a few days ago, so Erchen still doesn't know what his identity is." ”
Nodding, Xia Yongmei said, "Since you have recovered your body bones, it's fine." ”
"Father, there are still two days left for the Qi State to reply to the retreat, but is there any rumor?" Although it has not yet been figured out whether this Qi Guo's envoy is a trick directed by Xia Yongmei, or if there is really such a thing, Xia Wanyi still asked with concern.
Xia Yongmei put one hand behind her back and said: "It will take ten days to go back and forth from the capital of Qi to my Great Xia capital at the earliest, and as for the rumors, there is no trace at present." ”
Xia Wanyi said: "According to Erchen's opinion, if you look at the Qi country, this battle can't be fought, they will definitely do their best to drag it out until they are ready to start a war with my Great Xia." ”
Xia Yongmei nodded and said, "I also expected that. ”
Then he asked, "Do you think we will fight or not?" ”
Xia Wanyi remembered what Murong Jia had said to him, and also remembered what Xuanyuan Wei said in front of the civil and military officials of the Xia State and the envoys of the Qi State at the Welcome Hall that day. Fighting a war will lead to blood-stained mountains and rivers, displacement of people, and misery in the world.
"It's naturally good not to fight, but Qi Guo's ambitions are inflated, and sooner or later he will catch up with us. If we fight, we will face two problems. ”
Xia Wanyi's words made Murong Jia and Imperial Physician Qian listen to it with relish.
"You go on." Xia Yongmei said.
"First, the Qi country comes to negotiate peace, if we fight, the people of the world will be ashamed of us, morally, the Qi country wins, we lose. Second, now that Qi is known as the second largest power in China, once the two great powers of Xia and Qi start a war, either you will die or I will die, and then I will be afraid that the clam and crane will fight and the fisherman will benefit. ”
"So, what do you mean?" Xia Yongmei asked.
Xia Wanyi nodded and analyzed: "Erchen believes that the soldiers who are already on the border of Xia Qi are stationed in a gradient from the border to the country, first, it can prevent the Qi country from suddenly disregarding morality and suddenly attack, and the soldiers stationed in the gradient can rush to the border, and secondly, it can also prevent the situation in the country, so that when the soldiers have disasters in the country, they will not be able to return to the division and be diligent to the king." ”
A few days ago, Xia Wanyi would definitely advocate that Xia Yongmei strike first, but he had thought about it carefully, so this time he was much more rational.
"Hehehehe." Xia Yongmei laughed, "Your method is good, you write a fold, and present it in front of you tomorrow morning, I want to let the civil and military officials discuss this method together." ”
After a pause, he added: "There are other ways to appear, and when the time comes, neutralize it and choose the most reliable one." ”
……
After Xia Yongmei and Imperial Physician Qian left, Xia Wanyi slept again.
When he woke up and finished dinner with Murong Jia, it was already night.
Murong Jia was invited by the first imperial concubine to play.
Idle and bored, Xia Wan wanted to wander around the palace.
"Prince." As soon as she took a few steps, Xia Wanyi heard the palace maid behind her shout.
Xia Wanyi stopped, turned around and asked, "Something?" ”
The palace maid lowered her head: "The hem of the clothes is torn, and the slave wants to remind the prince to change one and then go." ”
Xia Wanyi moved her eyes to the hem of her clothes, and found that a crack more than two inches long behind her had split the hem of her clothes in half.
Hey? What's going on? When did it crack?! Didn't the goddess wife find out just now?
"Let's help Hongu change his clothes." Science can't explain it, Xia Wanyi can only say to this palace maid.
After hearing this, the palace maid was sometimes flattered, and sometimes frowned.
After a while, she said, "Yes."
found another set of palace clothes, and the palace maid was skillful, and she changed it for Xia Wanyi without any delay.
"The prince is really handsome and chic, and his bearing is extraordinary." After the palace maid helped Xia Wanyi change her clothes, she glanced at him and couldn't help but admire, but the corners of her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Xia Wanyi raised her head and looked at this palace maid, delicate and dusty, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
Why haven't you seen her before?
"What's your name?" Xia Wanyi found that this palace maid's face looked unfamiliar, but she always felt a sense of intimacy.
It's weird, could it be that it has something to do with the previous life?
Dizzy! Although he was not good in that aspect in his previous life, he was absolutely romantic.
When the palace maid heard Xia Wanyi's question, she let out an "ah", and then lowered her head and replied: "The slave maid's surname is Lu, his name is Yunxi, he just entered the palace not long ago, and he was sent to Dongzun Palace by the queen mother a few days ago. ”
Nodding, Xia Wanyi praised: "Lu Yunxi, good name!" ”
took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Lu Yunxi: "Why are the tears coming out?" ”
According to the memories of his previous life in Xia Wanyi's mind, this handkerchief was embroidered by Murong Jia himself before he and Murong Jia got married.
Lu Yunxi looked at the handkerchief in front of him in a daze. The handkerchief was white and soft, and a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered on it.
"Yunxi?" Finding that Lu Yunxi was looking at the handkerchief in a daze, Xia Wanyi shook the handkerchief.
Lu Yunxi came back to his senses and rubbed his eyes, "When the slave saw the prince, she remembered her brother. ”
"Oh? Your brother? Xia Wanyi asked curiously.
"Oh? Your brother? Xia Wanyi asked curiously, "Could it be that your brother's appearance is a little similar to this palace?" ”
"Back to the prince, the slave's brother doesn't look like you."
"Oh, how old is your brother?"
"More than half a month later, August 14, it will be twenty and eight."
Uh, such a coincidence? Xia Wanyi suddenly thought that Murong Jun's birthday was also the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on that day, it would be twenty-eight.
But he didn't tell Lu Yunxi about Murong Jun, but asked softly, "Then what did your brother do?" ”
Lu Yunxi said tremblingly, "Brother...... My brother is dead. ”
Xia Wanyi was surprised: "Huh? Why? ”
I saw Lu Yunxi leave two lines of tears and said: "As a soldier in the army, not long ago, when the Qi State invaded my Great Xia borderland, he died defending the country. ”
It's a man!
Xia Wanyi asked again: "Does the imperial court have it?" ”
"Yes." Lu Yunxi replied.
"Oh."
According to the laws of Bactria , if someone in the family sacrifices their life for the national society, their family members can enjoy tax exemption for two years, and everything else will be taken care of preferentially, which is similar to the family members of martyrs in modern society.
If someone in the family is a slave or a maid, whether it is in the mansion of ordinary dignitaries or the palace, they will all be restored to their freedom.
However, this Lu Yunxi was still in the palace.
"Then you can regain your freedom, and you don't have to be a slave for the rest of your life."
Lu Yunxi replied bitterly: "The slave's parents were also killed when the Qi people offended the border!" ”
Xia Wanyi opened her mouth and looked at the woman in front of her who was both strange and familiar to him.
(I went north to return to school today, and when I was waiting for the bus, I took advantage of the hot spot and hurriedly published the chapter code.) Tomorrow a new week is coming, ask for an assist! Have a safe trip! )
