Chen's mother's words surprised Lin Tiankuo: "Is there only this one condition?" ”

"Only this one!" Chen's mother replied firmly.

In fact, no matter who he marries, it is just an exchange of interests, and it is nothing more than worth it for him.

If he can get the evidence of the rebellion of the king of Zhou, it will of course be a bargaining chip in his favor, and he will be more confident in the process of negotiating with the state of Chu.

What about China, if he loses the support of Hubu Shangshu, is he still fully sure that he will win against Lin Zehai?

If Tobe Shangshu agrees to her daughter as a side concubine, he can still get his support. The daughter of Shangshu is a side concubine, Song Zhe can't get over his face, and the possibility of agreeing is very small, what do he have to give him to make him agree?

This can be ignored for the time being, and it is imperative to know whether that evidence is tenable.

"Mrs. Chen, I wonder where you got this evidence?" In business, since you're going to sell, I always want to know if it's reliable.

Chen's mother didn't answer him, but asked a question that was unrelated: "Knowing that this wrench is that person's thing, you don't seem to feel unlucky?" ”

Lin Tiankuo glanced at the wrench that he had worn on his hand for many years, contacted Chen's mother's unusual question at the moment, and guessed that its former owner might have a different meaning to Chen's mother: "It's my honor to have the same preferences as the previous King of Zhou." ”

The former King of Zhou has a reputation that is actually not very good. During his tenure, the state of Chu won a lot of land in the state of Zhou through several major wars.

At the beginning of the Chu attack, the two countries actually had the opportunity to negotiate peace, and the Chu people proposed that as long as the Zhou State gave them a provincial territory, there would be no need to fight.

King Zhou is angry: It's just a small country that stands on its own as a king and lives in a corner, where does it come from to be arrogant with me! We Zhou people are not warlike, it doesn't mean that we are afraid of you!

He didn't know that Chu Guo dared to shout at him, and there was Qingguo's support behind him. The result, of course, was a losing loss.

The land plundered on the battlefield was twice as much as that proposed by the Chu State during the peace talks.

Zhou Guo not only killed many people, but also lost people.

"If there is no war, it would be good to negotiate peace." Such a voice gradually spread in Zhou.

Everyone was accusing King Zhou of making a mistake in decision-making, and he couldn't afford to be sick because of his anger. His eldest son, the then crown prince, was in charge of state affairs.

Surprisingly, the king of Zhou made an edict when he died, and his younger brother Huai Jing ascended the throne.

The prince was not convinced, and was terrified. The rest of the princes and their ministers stood in line. The prince and the Huaijing side have attracted all the forces that can be co-opted.

There is no war – everyone knows that whoever starts the war first will turn the people's hearts towards the other side. The battle between the crown prince and Huai Jing only stopped at the court.

Soon, the crown prince was brought down. It has been less than half a year since the death of the old King Zhou, why did the prince lose so easily? Because Huai Jing found evidence that the prince asked the people of Chu for help.

The whole country is in an uproar!

Call for help from the enemy!

The crown prince was defeated, and Huai became the new king of Zhou, who has been in power for almost 20 years.

Under his rule, although the national strength of the Zhou State did not improve, it did not regress either.

Of course, the state of Chu is developing at a frightening speed, and with the current strength of the state of Qing, if it wants to fight with the state of Chu, the result is not much better.

Qingguo also began to be afraid of Chu Guolai.

"You can speak, if someone mocks you for being as incompetent as the former king of Zhou, can you still say that?" Chen's mother was deliberately giving him a problem.

If Lin Tiankuo said that King Zhou was not incompetent, it would be too false, and King Zhou did have a lot to improve.

Once his answer is disgusted to associate with King Zhou, then the word "honored" just said is ironic.

No matter how he answered, nothing good came out.

"Everyone has different standards, and I can't praise everyone."

"You're smart." Chen's mother praised him for not answering his own questions directly, making his position clear from other angles, and not changing his preferences because of other people's words.

Lin Tiankuo guessed that the person in front of him had an unusual relationship with the former King of Zhou. Since the other party is reluctant to say more, she must have her concerns, and it is inconvenient for her to snoop.

Mother Chen knew what Lin Tiankuo wanted to know most at the moment: "It's the edict of the former King Zhou!" Not the one with the longing! ”

"His edict was forged? So why doesn't anyone question it? "The authenticity of the evidence cannot be sloppy, and Lin Tiankuo naturally wants to ask clearly.

"His copy is not a forgery, it is indeed written by King Zhou himself." Chen's mother was reluctant to say more.

Lin Tiankuo was a little hesitant.

In fact, Qing and Chu wanted to share the idea of eating Zhou for a long time, but King Zhou has always been very sensible, either giving money to the two countries or giving food, so the two countries naturally can't just find a reason to turn their faces.

If his edict is fake, then the two countries can justifiably help Zhou get rid of the "traitors". But if his share is true and can stand up to scrutiny, it is not strong evidence.

"Your evidence is better for the people of Chu than for me." The people of Chu don't mind eating ugly. Didn't they use the reason that "your soldiers patrol our country's territory" before?

Mother Chen heard his refusal: "Actually, you and Lin Zehai can be anyone." As long as Yun'er can marry into the royal family, I don't mind if she is the crown princess or not. ”

No matter who Chen Xiaoyun marries, he will not stop him, except for Lin Zehai!

"Can you tell me, why don't you choose the people of Chu?" Lin Tiankuo's attitude was very sincere.

"I hate that they're brazen and duplex."

Although the people of Chu have a reputation for being "warlike and warlike" in the other two countries. But because of the worship of power in human beings, people don't hate them.

For what reason did Mother Chen dislike the people of Chu so much?

"This matter involves a wide range of issues, and I will have to think carefully before I can reply to you." Although Lin Tiankuo did not directly refuse as he did just now, he still did not directly agree.

Mother Chen is a little difficult to ride a tiger at the moment.

She had already made an agreement with that person: if that person could make the emperor admit Lin Zehai's existence and take Lin Zehai back to the palace. She gave the news to Emperor Qingguo in exchange for the opportunity for Chen Xiaoyun to marry into the royal family.

The emperor will definitely choose Lin Zehai, this unimportant son, to marry Chen Xiaoyun. It is still unknown whether Lin Zehai can become the emperor in the end.

Although she was not very satisfied with this result, Yun'er could be regarded as marrying into the royal family.

She heard that the crown prince ran to the emperor and said that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law who cooked deliciously, and it happened that Yun'er was good at this. How could she let go of such a great opportunity!

She immediately decided to bypass that person and go directly to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would agree to Lin Tiankuo marrying Yun'er. After all, in addition to interests, marriage also takes into account the wishes of the son.

It's just that there is no way to see the emperor, so things are delayed again and again.

Today she followed Yun'er and unexpectedly saw Lin Tiankuo, so she didn't have to go into the palace to find the emperor. Moreover, she noticed that Yun'er looked at Lin Tiankuo's eyes, which was not a simple appreciation.

Since her daughter also likes Lin Tiankuo, she naturally wants to fight for it.

"I heard that your criteria for choosing a concubine is cooking?"

How much I love to eat! How could such a thing be said!

"I did say this to my father." I don't want to admit it, can I? How can you explain it to show that you are not deliberately rejecting Mrs. Chen?

Seeing that Lin Tiankuo still didn't let go, Chen's mother let go. Since he decided to betray, he simply did it thoroughly: "I can tell you the clues of the person behind Lin Zehai!" ”
