Chapter 72 Reunite in the Drunken Fragrance Building
Xijing City, Zuixiang Building
Today's drunken incense building Tianzihao private room is not open to the public at all, and any powerful person in the capital who wants to enter the Tianzihao private room only gets a sentence of 'predetermined'.
And such an important Tianzi private room was closed to the outside world for three whole days!
In the past three days, no one has been seen in or out of such private rooms, which makes all the powerful people in the capital feel a little annoyed in addition to being shocked in their hearts.
Who was so domineering, but he didn't even show his face, so he let the Tianzi private room of Zuixianglou wait for him for three days, and he didn't dare to open it to the outside world in the slightest!
When someone wanted to inquire with such strange thoughts, all they got was nothing to say.
Among them, the most sensitive news, after knowing the identity of this distinguished guest, was secretive, never mentioned, and no longer dared to get drunk with the idea of the Tianzihao private room of Xianglou.
And in the careful speculation of the magnates in the capital, the Tianzi private room of Zuixianglou today ushered in its long-awaited guest, the most powerful group of people in the Daqian Dynasty.
That's right, under the circumstance that the Taiji Holy Emperor is not out of the palace, the princes who have already been crowned kings are naturally the group of people who stand at the top of the power when they look at the entire Daqian Dynasty!
And today, at the warm invitation of Zhao Zheng, King of Qin, Zhao Kuo, King of Yan, Zhao Xuan, King of Han, Zhao Tuo, King of Qi, Zhao Yan, King of Lu, and Zhao Sheng, King of Jin, all of them were present.
For this banquet, Zhao Zheng sent people to settle in advance in the drunken incense building on the first day of arriving in the capital.
It wasn't until three days later that Zhao Zheng had time to make an appointment with all the royal brothers and come to this drunken incense building together.
As the host of this room and the initiator of this banquet, Zhao Zheng naturally arrived early and waited for the arrival of all the imperial brothers.
The first to arrive was the eldest prince Yan Wang Zhao Kuo.
As soon as he entered the door, he laughed and opened his arms and hugged his ninth brother warmly.
"Haha! Ninth brother! I haven't seen you for months, and you've done such a great thing! β
Obviously, even if he was in the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Kuo had already known all the major events that the ninth brother had done in the Qin Kingdom, and he was always paying attention to them.
In fact, it is not only him, but also with such earth-shattering innovations as the division of the land into the mu, the integration of the land and the land, and the replacement of the inspection system by the imperial examination system, there are not a few people who are silently concerned about the entire Daqian government and the opposition.
Although most people are actually just waiting to see jokes, they don't care about the so-called innovation of the young King Qin at all, just as if they were ignorant children messing around.
What does a child who is only 12 years old know?
Just looking at the decrees he has promoted, they are simply nonsense, like a ridiculous trick that he comes up with with a random pat on the head, is it not practical at all, right?
Whether it is the apportionment of the mu or the imperial examination system, is it really possible to implement it?
It's a joke!
His Majesty the Holy Emperor was really relieved, and he dared to hand over such a large frontier county to this twelve-year-old Nine Emperor Prince?
Such thoughts almost represent the subconscious views of the vast majority of people.
Especially among the poor border counties such as Qinchuan, if there are not many wars on weekdays, such poor counties will hardly have much sense of existence in the three prefectures of Daqian, and it is impossible to attract the attention of these big people in the capital.
If it weren't for King Qin making such a big move in the capital, who would have nothing to do with the idleness of a chaotic border county?
Even in the entire Great Qian Kingdom, they all turned a deaf ear to the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in the Qin State at this moment.
Not to mention, in the entire Shenzhou Continent and the land of Kyushu, for the two big Central Plains countries, the Dali Dynasty and the Daxing Dynasty, they would not care about the trivial things that happened in small border countries such as Daqian.
If it weren't for Wen Qian's deliberate attention to the affairs of the Great Qian Kingdom, and he happened to get acquainted with Wei Ying by chance, it would be difficult for Wei Ying to notice a small Qin State in the Great Qian Dynasty in his life.
So for the current Kyushu countries, the Qin State is located in Daqianbian County.
The earth-shattering changes that have taken place in his country are just like a small splash of water that occasionally rises in the vast ocean for the entire Shenzhou Continent.
Insignificant, unnoticed......
"Harm~ The eldest brother laughed, but it was just a random toss."
Zhao Zheng just smiled humbly, hugged each other warmly, and didn't say anything more.
After all, Qin's road to innovation has only just begun, and he is still just confused, and he will do something if he thinks of something, and he doesn't have a clear overall plan at all.
Now he hasn't made much achievements, so he naturally doesn't have to say anything.
"Alas...... My father sealed you in the county over there, but he also suffered you......"
Seeing this, Zhao Kuo didn't say anything more on this topic, but sighed lightly and shook his head.
He can actually understand the ninth brother a little, after all, he was sealed in the Qinchuan border county for the first time, and the conditions were extremely difficult.
If you don't want to find a way to toss for a day, what can you do?
It's not like he was sealed in Yannan County, he was already rich and abundant, so why bother to toss more?
"This ...... What can be done? β
Zhao Zheng only sighed when he heard this, who knows what his father thought at the time, and he actually sent himself to the border county on a whim.
If you seal a fief for yourself, do you still need to be so tired?
What kind of apportionment, what imperial examination system, what revitalization of commerce and trade, there is no need to do these hard and offending things at all, you just need to eat, sleep, sleep and eat every day, okay?
It's like now, who worries about this and that every day, how can he look like an idle vassal king......
"Ninth brother!"
At this moment, a sound of surprise suddenly came from the door, and Zhao Zheng suddenly raised his head and followed the prestige.
"Brother Four Emperors!"
Zhao Zheng suddenly stood up with a smile, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his heart.
After all, the Four Emperor Brothers have never liked such cumbersome entertainment, and they usually don't appear until the finale, but they didn't expect to come here early today and arrive early.
"Come, sit down, sit down!"
After opening his arms and hugging the four emperor brothers warmly, Zhao Zheng immediately greeted him warmly.
Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, was not good at words, and he only smiled at the enthusiasm of the ninth brother, and then sat down under the guidance of the ninth brother.
It's just that when he looked up and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Kuo, the king of Yan, who was in the upper position, his smile suddenly decreased slightly, and he could be regarded as greeting each other.
Zhao Kuo had already frozen his smile when Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, entered, and the two of them just said hello copingly, and did not have the slightest idea of talking to each other.
In recent months, since Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, was inspired by his ninth brother Zhao Zheng and made his intention to seize the throne clear, he took the initiative to participate in court politics and put pressure on the eldest prince Zhao Kuo at all levels.
Coupled with the supreme glory of being crowned prince, it caused a lot of shock among the government and the opposition, which made the open and secret struggle between the two more and more intense.
In the face of the active challenge of Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, Zhao Kuo, as the eldest prince, naturally could not be indifferent and sit back and watch him shake his status as the prince.
And the more this is the case, the more he has to fight back more forcefully!
Otherwise...... Up and down the government and the opposition, they will lose their hearts!
Therefore, to this day, except for the layer of face that has not been officially torn between the two on the surface, no matter what kind of competition they have secretly had, they have already gone back and forth many times.
This increasingly obvious fierce confrontation made the two of them bother to do even the most basic bit of hypocrisy and grievances, and almost never had any contact again, even if they met, they only bowed slightly.
If it weren't for the Ninth Brother taking the initiative to invite him today, otherwise these two princes and princes who were fighting each other and had already fought out their anger would not have been able to sit at the same table no matter what!
After all, no matter how secretly they competed with each other, they had a very close personal relationship with the ninth brother Zhao Zheng and attached great importance to it.
For his invitation, he naturally went to the banquet in person to give face.
"Brother Huang, have you been staying in Beijing recently?"
Knowing that the fourth emperor brother Zhao Tuo was not good at talking, Zhao Zheng naturally took the initiative to bring up the topic and chat.
"Yes...... Recently, the brothers are in charge of training the new army. β
Faced with the ninth brother's initiative to speak, Zhao Tuo's originally cold face instantly squeezed out a few smiles, and answered on the spot.
"Oh? The new army? Is there another war to be fought again? β
Zhao Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said.
"Not really, it's just a daily exercise......
Zhao Tuo smiled and shook his head gently.
"That's right...... Brother Huang, I don't know how to train the new army? β
Zhao Zheng asked curiously, and as soon as this topic was mentioned, Zhao Tuoke became very interested, and talked about it on the spot, and Zhao Zheng, who listened, nodded again and again.
And Yan Wang Zhao Kuo sat on one side, and he didn't have the slightest intention of inserting the topic.
On the contrary, he felt quite disdainful of the old four who were only in the army and did not understand the style of governing the country.
Do you only know how to go into battle to kill the enemy, and dare to compete with yourself for the supreme throne?
is so reckless and ignorant, but he is not afraid of misleading the country and the people?!
"Hahahaha! Ninth brother! Ouch, and big brother! Fourth brother! You're here early! β
Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded from outside the door, and when the door was opened, he laughed in surprise.
The person who came was the fifth prince who was about to get married recently - Zhao Yan, the king of Lu!
Perhaps because the happy event was approaching, Zhao Yan looked proud, and even danced with some eyebrows.
"Haha! Fifth brother! The feeling of being about to walk into the grave...... How's it going? β
At this moment, Zhao Xuan, the second prince of Han Wang, who followed closely, shook the folding fan lightly, laughed and teased.
"Huh! Second brother! What is this saying? I'm getting married...... How do you say that you are walking into the grave? β
Zhao Yan suddenly turned his head, but he looked at his second brother, his face full of incomprehension.
"Step into ...... O grave of marriage! Hahahaha! β
Zhao Xuan slapped the folding fan and said deliberately in a wink.
"Aha!"
Suddenly, the whole house laughed!
But everyone couldn't help but laugh when they were amused by this remark!
Even Zhao Yan himself was overjoyed, and after holding his stomach and laughing for a long time, he forced a smile and said reluctantly.
"Ouch, second brother! What kind of great joy is so unbearable in your mouth? β
"Isn't it? After the big wedding...... It's not good to come to this land of smoke and willows again! β
Zhao Xuan opened the folding fan to cover his face, smiled and squinted his eyes.
"Yikes! Second brother! Could it be that in your heart, I, Zhao Yan, am such a person who often goes in and out of Fengyue places? β
Zhao Yan glared at him and asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?"
Everyone laughed and said in unison!
"Wow! You guys really ...... It's too much of a bully! β
Zhao Yan shook his head instantly, he couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's okay, it's okay, even if the fifth child gets married, can't he come out to have fun? What's the matter? β
Yan Wang Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said with a familiar expression.
As the king of a country, can he still be controlled?
"Hey! Big brother! You don't know about this, do you? The object of the fifth child's wedding this time is Di Qian, who is known as the 'tigress'! β
Speaking of this, Zhao Xuan suddenly gossiped, and he didn't think it was too big to add.
"Huh? Really? β
Everyone was very curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Second brother! YouβDon't talk nonsense! β
Zhao Yan turned pale after hearing this, and hurriedly said in disbelief.
"I've heard...... That Di Qian looks like a shy flower in the closed moon, and she is captivating the country and the city! β
It is precisely because of this that he is so happy, since he was appointed by his father to marry, he has been proud of the spring breeze, and secretly said that he was favored by God!
After all, Di Qian is not only beautiful, but also the daughter of Di Yan, the current commander of the country!
This is naturally overjoyed for Zhao Yan, who is very ordinary in the power of the mother family, and it can greatly enhance his influence in the government and the opposition.
In addition, Di Qian herself is rumored to be extremely beautiful, which makes Zhao Yan think that this is a very perfect match!
But how did you listen to what the second brother said today......
Seems to have something else hidden?
"That Di Qian is indeed beautiful, there is no doubt about this, but she was born in the Generalissimo's Mansion since she was a child, but she is extremely martial, full of heroism, and her personality is even more ......."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but pause slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave a metaphor that was very easy for everyone to understand.
"Hmm...... How so? Just like our Yun sister...... Uh, I think everybody can get the idea, right? β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless, but they couldn't help but look at me, come and see you, I don't know what to do.
"This ......"
When Zhao Yan, the king of Lu, heard this, he was immediately stunned on the spot, thinking of his wife who was about to get married, and her personality was similar to that of Yun Mei!
This whole body, suddenly shook a few times inexplicably......
β¦β¦
"Zhao Yanzhi (the word from the heart), the son of the Taiji Holy Emperor in the early years of the Qiandai Dynasty, the king of Lu, and the fief of Lunan County.
According to historical data, Zhao Yan, the king of Lu, was the beginning of the ancient 'fear of the inside' and the originator of the modern 'strict wife control'. β
