Yin Changying's expression finally became calm, he frowned subconsciously, and raised an objection for the first time: "Father, the Zheng people are capricious, and I have the same clan and surname as my Yin family, how can I marry a princess?" ”

The reason why he opposed this matter was not because he felt pity for his sister, after all, he hadn't seen Ah Yu a few times, and his brother and sister had no feelings at all. The main reason is that King Zheng is over half a hundred years old, if he doesn't die in fifteen years, and marries his sister to such an old man, Yin Changying can't hold his face.

Yin Changying's reason for refusal is also very powerful - the royal families of Zhao and Zheng are from the same lineage, and since ancient times, they have not married with the same surname. Although no one really takes it seriously now, it is still very easy to use it as an excuse.

"Kneel down!" Yin Chu didn't know where he got the strength, and shouted, "Originally, Gu still praised you for your stability, such a trivial matter, why did you lose your temper so much?" ”

Yin Changying knelt straight and was trained, still unconvinced, but he knew very well that his father's strategy was right.

Zhao's foreign policy was "distant friendship and close attack", so the monarchs of Zhaoguo in the past dynasties asked Zhuguo in the south to marry the princess, and married the princess of Zhaoguo to the northernmost Yan State to tie the two countries. The focus of the attack was on the three kingdoms of Wei, Zheng, and Liang, which were located in the Central Plains and bordered Zhao.

But this time, that time.

For example, in the Seven Kingdoms today, Chen, Yan, and Liang have long had no strength to fight again, and they have already surrendered to Zhao more than ten years ago. Those who are qualified to compete with Zhao for domination of the world are none other than Zheng and Zhu.

Because of this, if Zhao can't get back to Gaoqi Pass and restore Zheng Guo's vitality, then he must maintain an in-law relationship with Zheng and Zhu at the same time, and choose the object of alliance and confrontation according to the changes in the national situation.

In the face of such a militaristic event, the will of the individual is not enough.

Yin Chu even felt that it was better to marry his daughter to the elderly King Zheng.

Once King Zheng died, his daughter would be the Empress Dowager of Zheng Guo, and she would be suppressed by her reputation. The new King Zheng is one head behind Zhao Guo in terms of seniority, and there is a lot of room for diplomatic maneuverability.

And what are the benefits of marrying the crown prince, in addition to the fact that the husband is a little younger? The crown prince can be replaced at any time, but King Zheng is not.

The crown princess may not be able to become the queen, and as long as the queen does not die early, she will definitely be the queen mother. At that time, why worry about not finding a young man as a lover?

Besides, young girls marrying old age abound, isn't the Empress Dowager Shouyang typical?

This daughter of the Zhuguo clan was only fifteen years old when she married An Guojun, the prince of Zhaoguo, as his wife, but An Guojun was already in his forties, and he could be her grandfather regardless of age. Yin Chu, the "son", is nearly ten years older than the "mother" Empress Dowager Shouyang!

But so what? There are countless young men in the world, how many princes are there? Would anyone be so stupid as to marry a courtier or even a commoner instead of a king?

Although Yin Changying knew that this was the truth, but after all, she was young, unwilling, and uneven, thinking that she wished the weak and strong, could this be the same thing?

But he hesitated, and finally did not refute his father.

And Ah Yu looked at Yin Chu, who was like a withered tree, and felt pitiful, but he couldn't help the sadness in his heart.

She finally faced up to the question she had been avoiding for the past four years - what kind of future did she want?

Wearing it to this era and becoming a princess of Zhaoguo is of course better than dressing as a princess of other six countries.

After all, everyone knows that Zhao is the final victor.

The question is, is it really good for Princess Zhaoguo to end up?

Ah Yu vaguely remembered that Emperor Zhao's lifespan seemed to be only more than forty.

She was nine years younger than Yin Changying, that is, when Yin Changying died, she might only be in her thirties.

If she doesn't live to that point, that's fine. If she had lived until then, what fate would have awaited her? Was he killed by the Two? Or did they fall into the hands of the rebels and be humiliated?

Yes, Ah Yu has supernatural powers, but she still can't make up her mind how strong this power can be and how to use it.

Looking for an opportunity to "fake death" and go to the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate immortals?

Not to mention whether that kind of lifestyle can be adapted, with her current strength, it is not enough to leave everyone's eyes and ears and run out of the Zhao Palace.

What's more, Yin Chu has explained to Yin Changying, she is "very useful".

In this way, can she really move as freely as before? How much time is left for her to exercise her strength?

Thinking of these things, Ah Yu couldn't help but feel agitated.

As soon as she was excited, she couldn't control her strength, and suddenly like a kite that had been retracted, she disappeared from King Zhao's bedroom in an instant, and her consciousness returned to her body.

And the next moment, the nurse pushed open the door and hurriedly picked her up.

The strange smell of aroma and sweat mixed with the smell rushed into her mind from the tip of her nose, making Ah Yu uncomfortable, but she did not struggle for the first time, and let the nurse and the palace people hurry to bring her from the side hall to King Zhao's bedroom - because King Zhao was dying, the queen mother, queen, son, princess and important ministers of the court all stayed in the side hall, waiting for King Zhao's summons at any time, and it was good to see him for the last time.

But just then, Ah Yu suddenly smelled a strange fishy smell that made her almost nauseous.

This smell has always hovered in King Zhao's bedroom, and it has never dispersed, but it will not be able to tell where it comes from for a while.

Is it the breath of a dying man?

Ah Yu was full of doubts, and couldn't help but look up, and saw Yin Chu lying on the couch, trembling and stretching out his right hand, Yin Changying, who was standing on the side, understood, and said, "General Meng." ”

Standing behind Jiang Zhong, the white-haired old general immediately stepped out of the ranks, and his voice was loud: "The minister is here!" ”

"The defeat of the Zhao army has nothing to do with Qing." Yin Chu said very slowly, and he had to use all his strength for every word, "The three Qing families all say that Zheng is strong and weak, but the widow insists on going his own way, this is the fault of the widow!" ”

When Meng Yuan heard this, he suddenly burst into tears, and bowed to the ground: "The general of the defeated army is ashamed of the king." ”

The other two generals named by Yin Chu, Wang Qian and Biao Gong, also had red eyes.

Originally, the three generals were still a little pimple in their hearts, after all, before the war, they all felt that it was not suitable to send troops to attack two countries at the same time, especially to attack Liang.

Zheng Qiang, attack Zheng, all the countries will watch from the wall; Liang is weak, attacking Liang, and the generals are cold in their lips and teeth.

But Yin Chu was already very ill at that time, and he desperately wanted to expand the territory before he died, and after his death, he said to his ancestors, I did not insult your prestige, and despite the dissuasion of the ministers, I insisted on fighting the two countries in a row, which led to this situation.

But no matter what they said beforehand, they lost the battle and even lost the high pass, which is undeniable.

Even if the defeated generals are given death by the king, no one will speak for them.

Even so, King Zhao did not blame them, but took the fault on himself.

What a wise monarch!

Yin Changying's mood is very complicated.

He knew that his father was extremely eager to complete the unfinished business of his great-grandfather King Xiang and seize the two strategic places of Anye and Changming. The defeat of the Zhao army greatly disappointed his father, and even hastened his father's death.

But the father did not give these generals the death, but put the blame on himself, just to encircle these three generals in the army, and use this kindness to make them escort his young king.

At this time, Yin Chu shouted again: "Changxinhou, come here." ”
