CHAPTER XXVII
For the marriage of Qin and Zhao, Ying Zheng has been in Zhao for almost a month. However, the marriage candidate is still undecided, and King Zhao is naturally a little worried in his heart, if the marriage is not successful. It is still possible that the Qin kings will also marry other vassal states. You must know that the position of the queen of Qin is a kind of containment for any vassal state, at least nominally, the Qin state takes into account the queen's mother country to measure the strength of the attack.
Now, Per Creek is fancied, and there is nothing wrong with it. But what King Zhao was worried about was not because it was not his daughter Ximo who married Qin Guo, but because he was worried about the mark of the destruction of the country and the world on Poxi. But no one knows exactly what this mark means, and it feels ominous just literally. Or......
King Zhao was thinking about it very well, and the chamberlain informed Prime Minister Guo Kai to ask to see him, so he stopped thinking and let Guo Kai in. Guo Kai came in to greet the ceremony and went straight to the point: "King, the minister asked to see the king firstly to ask for sin, and secondly, to have something important to report." ”
"What does the prime minister mean?"
"The minister made a private appointment with Meng Yi, an important minister of the Qin State, yesterday, and asked the king to punish him."
"Why did you meet him privately?" King Zhao was a little unhappy.
"Please forgive the king, the minister is very worried about the marriage of Qin and Zhao these days, because I can't guess what the king of Qin has planned, I am afraid that if the marriage is not successful, it will affect the life and death of the people of our Zhao country, so I took the initiative to go and find out what King Qin thought."
It is a fact that Guo Kai saw Meng Yi in private, but it was not Meng Yi who he made an appointment, but Meng Yi who made an appointment with him. The reason why he assumed that he was the active party was because he understood the direction of King Zhao's suspicions, and became the invitee, and King Zhao was more likely to believe that he was doing his best for Zhao Guo.
Guo Kai is a smart man, although he has served Zhao Guo for many years, he has also achieved quite a lot. But he can also see the situation clearly, and the overlord of the Qin State will only become more and more stable. And the Zhao State where he is located looks like it is slowly coming back to life from the Battle of Changping, but in fact it is still breathing hard.
Especially ten years ago, King Zhao was anxious, thinking that he could launch an attack on Qin when the alien died, and regain the lost land. Unexpectedly, in the end, although Li Mu fought with the Qin State alone for half a year, he still did not shake the Qin State by half a point. In the end, Zhao could not stand the national strength, so he could only pretend to negotiate and end the war.
Now King Qin Yingzheng has not only grown up, but compared with the past generations of King Qin, he is even more angry, like an invincible beast in the world. If he wants to command the world, it will be sooner or later. And he, Guo Kai, not only wants to continue to serve the Zhao State, but also has to think of a way out, in case the Zhao State falls one day, it is not a bad thing for him to have a good relationship with the Qin State.
So when Meng Yi made a secret appointment with him, he took the risk to meet him, but he didn't expect Meng Yi to bring two large boxes of money to him. said that he hoped that he could help lobby King Zhao, since they met Princess Poxi, they were fascinated by her beauty, and Xiangshi was sure that Princess Perxi was the best candidate for queen, so it was even more important to miss Princess Perxi. Ask him to help their king grant his wish no matter what.
Guo Kai himself is a person who loves money, and when he saw that the King of Qin not only came to beg him for a woman, but also sent so many gold, silver and jewelry, he thought that he would do this for the King of Qin no matter what.
Collect money for people to eliminate disasters, and immediately take the money to actively enter the palace to lobby King Zhao.
"And what do you hear?"
Guo Kai roughly recounted Meng Yi's statement to King Zhao one by one, and said sincerely: "King, since King Qin has taken a fancy to the daughter of our princess of Zhao Kingdom, he will also be crowned as the queen of Qin, which will do us no harm." If King Qin really doesn't think about Princess Poxi's tea and dinner, then Princess Poxi will definitely be able to influence King Qin, which is better than King Qin bringing back a dispensable woman. Our Zhao State needs to continue to recuperate, and a woman who is satisfied with the King of Qin can buy time for Zhao Guo, so why don't we do it? ”
When King Zhao heard Guo Kai say this, he suddenly had a clear understanding of the theory that Perxi would destroy the country and the world: could it be that the beauty of Perxi could confuse the king, causing the king to indulge in beauty and delay political affairs. Will the so-called calamity of the country and the destruction of the world be a calamity to the country and the people, and a decline in national strength? The pear moon and phoenix girls from the Feng family are all auspicious symbols, but Liyang is a disaster to destroy the country, and now the King of Qin is fascinated by Poxi, isn't this the beginning of a sign?
If you can make the Qin State slowly weaken, why not sacrifice a Poxi, his protection of his sister, mother and daughter for so many years can be said to be benevolent. Now even if he is selfish, but it is not Perxi who he took the initiative to sacrifice, it is the King of Qin himself who takes a fancy to Perxi, and it must be Perxi. He is even ready to sacrifice his own daughter, not to mention his niece, and if Poxi really has a symbol of bewitching the king and weakening the country, it will be much easier than him and Qin Guo desperately fighting.
As soon as he figured it out, he didn't say a word and wrote an edict for Guo Kai to take to the king of Qin, and soon the two countries could jointly announce to the world that Princess Poxi of Zhao was selected as the object of Qin and Zhao's marriage, and formed a good alliance with Qin and Jin, and the two countries helped each other and encouraged each other to develop together.
When Guo Kai went to tell the King of Qin with this news that could cause a sensation in all countries, Xi Mo came to the palace dressed up and came to the palace to meet the invitation of the King of Qin. She was full of joy, thinking that King Qin might have finally figured out that she was the most suitable candidate for King Qin's descendant.
Ying Zheng sat face-to-face with Ximo with a slight smile, poured a glass of wine for Ximo in person without losing his dignity, and said with a smile: "Last time, this king lived up to the princess's hospitality, and this king felt guilty in his heart. ”
"King Qin's words are serious, and it is impossible for Ximo to be angry with King Qin no matter what. Even if King Qin can't remember what happened last time, it is already the greatest blessing to be able to meet King Qin face to face alone. ”
The excitement in Xi Mo's heart, a burst of blood hit her heart, raised the wine glass and took a sip elegantly. I don't know if it's because of the wine or because she is too excited, her little face is shy and ruddy, her eyebrows and eyes are affectionate, and she looks at Ying Zheng with a self-righteous look.
Liu Chang, Zhao Gao and the Meng Tian brothers in the room, you look at me, I look at you, although they didn't make a sound, they had all kinds of sarcastic expressions on their faces. Liu Chang is even more ventriloquist: This shameless vicious princess, this is when the people in their room are dead or ghosts. Meet the King of Qin alone? It's not like going out without a brain, and I'm even afraid that I don't have my heart, liver and lungs.
Ying Zheng sneered: "The princess is kind-hearted, she doesn't remember the mistakes of this king, and this king should thank the princess." So I also asked the princess to finish the wine, so that the king really believed that the princess did not hold grudges. ”
"Uh, why did you ...... after drinking all the wine?"
"The princess doesn't know, our Qin State apologizes, pours a glass of wine for the object of apology, and the other party drinks not a drop left, which means that he has really forgiven."
"I see, then I will not disappoint King Qin." After Xi Mo finished speaking, he raised his glass and really put a drop of wine into his stomach, and then looked at Ying Zheng shyly: "Can King Qin believe Xi Mo?" She turned her glass over, proving that there wasn't a drop left.
Ying Zheng remained silent and poured her a full glass of wine: "There are two glasses left." ”
"Two glasses?"
"Drinking three glasses in a row is the original intention of accepting an apology."
"But I'm afraid that Ximo is not very drunk, and I'm afraid that I will be rude in front of King Qin if I get drunk, won't Ximo be ruined in face like that?" She pretends to be delicate and maintains a woman's reserve.
"Can't Xi Mo completely forgive this king?"
When Ximo heard Ying Zheng call her name, she was excited again, and she could be said to be carried away: "Okay, since that's the case, how can Ximo not work hard to prove her sincerity." Then two large glasses of wine were served.
Liu Chang and others sighed, the king is a scourge, he doesn't have any feelings when he says it, he can feel the perfunctory victory of the government, why is this princess still so useful, let the east not want to go west, a pair of righteousness that can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire. But if you think about it carefully, how bold their king is, he has long fascinated not only countless women, but also many men, for example, haven't they been fascinated by a bunch of men for a long time. What's more, it's still a princess who gives a little candy and has no brains?
Xi Mo knows that he has always drunk an amazing amount of alcohol, and this bit of wine is nothing at all, saying that he is not strong enough to drink is just for show. Seeing that Yingzheng really cares if she really forgives him, how can she not behave well and do what he asks.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't say anything more, Xi Mo thought that he would be recognized, who knew that what followed was a room of silence.
When she was embarrassed, Gongsun Teng came in and said that Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State, had come to visit and brought the marriage edict of King Zhao. Ying Zheng said lightly to Gongsun Teng: "Please." ”
Ximo heard that Guo Kai was here to send the marriage edict, and today she happened to be invited by King Qin, and said that she apologized to her for her neglect last time. Now that this edict is here, isn't that just making it clear that the candidate is himself? Thinking about it, when he was secretly excited, Guo Kai came in.
Guo Kai saw that Princess Ximo was also present, a little surprised, after seeing the ceremony, he gave the edict to Ying Zheng, and said: "Congratulations to the king of Qin for finding a queen who is a match made in heaven, our king has issued an edict to seal Princess Poxi as the "princess of heaven", and choose a day to marry the king of Qin and Jin, so as to make friendship between the two countries. ”
"What? Why her? ”
After Xi Mo heard that it was not herself, but that damn Perxi as the king of Qin, she got up a little crazy and looked at Guo Kai angrily.
"Uh... This is the edict that the king has just issued, and it is not wrong to be Princess Perxi. ”
"Impossible, impossible." She approached Yingzheng, and Meng Tian, who was close, quickly blocked her from getting close for half a minute. Ximo was so anxious that she asked pitifully: "King Qin, are you mistaken, didn't you invite me to the banquet today because you intended to marry me?" ”
"The princess is too careful, our king is just asking the princess for a crime, the king is willing to marry the princess, but Xiangshi has already counted the princess's eight characters, saying that if the princess enters the Qin Kingdom, she will definitely die. The princess is so noble, how can our king bear to harm the princess? ”
Liu Chang knew that at this time, Ying Zheng didn't even have the desire to say a word to her, so he casually broke it so that his facial features were deformed.
"Nonsense, it's not true, hahaha... It's a pity that that slut in Poxi doesn't have that life, she doesn't have to wait until she enters the Qin Kingdom, she is already dead. Not only is he dead, but he may also die with the body of a broken flower and a willow. ”
Ying Zheng was furious, his fists clenched, but his expression was indifferent.
Liu Chang deliberately asked: "Why did the princess say that?" ”
"Hahaha, because I drugged her, after the medicine enters the human body, she will not be able to die for a while, but she will be weak, I threw her to my nasty uncle and his fox friend and dog, how could two pervert-like men let go of the beauty of Perxi, now I am afraid that she would have been lost and exposed to the wilderness to feed the beasts, hahaha, if I didn't have that life, she wouldn't have it."
Guo Kai was so shocked that he couldn't speak, although this princess was too rude and willful, but he never thought of being so vicious. He asked in disbelief: "Princess, this is not a joke, that is the person that King Qin fancies, how can the princess ......?"
"Fancie? What's so great about it, King Qin will regret it, it's not wrong for me to take her life, I'm for King Qin's good, that slut is a disaster, she will bring disaster to King Qin, I... I am the most suitable woman for King Qin, and only I am sincere to King Qin. ”
"Presumptuous, you dare to speak falsely about the queen chosen by this king?" Ying Zheng really wanted to break her body into pieces, thinking that if she didn't take Perxi to the cliff cave, Perxi would probably really be destroyed. Although the raging anger was waiting to erupt, he still reasoned and deliberately ordered: "Gongsun Teng, go and see if Princess Perxi is okay immediately." "To do the play, you have to do everything, Gongsun Teng took the order and went out.
"Hahaha... She's not going to be okay, she's dead, hahaha......"
Guo Kai looked at Ying Zheng in horror, and then looked at Ximo, and felt that something was wrong, no matter how jealous and ignorant this Ximo princess was, she would not be so stupid as to make the vicious things she did public. But no one forced her to say that people look like normal, but they feel that something is abnormal, and they cry with snot and tears like an abandoned woman.
"King Qin, you are wrong, even if she is fine, even if you don't mind her crippled body, but she is a pear yang phoenix girl, a disaster star who destroys the country and the world. Even if you don't marry me, you shouldn't marry her, if you don't do her, she will cause your Qin Kingdom to never recover. ”
"Damn." Ying Zheng finally broke out in his belly, slapped Xi Mo hard, and then picked up the wet cloth on the table and wiped the palm of Xi Mo heavily, and after finishing it, he threw the cloth on Xi Mo who fell to the ground in anger, and his extremely disgusted expression was revealed.
Guo Kai was sweating profusely, he never thought that there would be such a terrible situation. One is the princess of King Zhao, and the other is the queen personally selected by King Qin.
"Guo Kai, drag your princess who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead to your King Zhao, and let King Zhao see how to explain to me. She slandered the queen of this king so much today, and slandered me Daqin, I will not let go of this account easily no matter what. If it is really as she said, Princess Perxi has died~" Ying Zheng's eyes shot at Guo Kai like a sharp sword: "This king destroyed your Zhao Kingdom!! ”
Guo Kai was not only sweating all over his body, but also trembling all over, and hurriedly took out the foam who was still lying on the ground and muttering.
