Chapter 38, the shadow of the moon
In terms of scale and land occupation, this courtyard is definitely the most shabby one in the Wang family's industry, if it weren't for the hanging sign of the word "Wang" at the door, how to look at this is the house of an ordinary small family, at most it is built more chic.
When the four of them met, there was no polite greeting, only nodded to each other, and then sat down. As soon as Zhou Tianyi entered the door, he noticed the maid standing quietly behind King Qi, this maid did not wear a veil today, and her eyebrows and eyes looked similar to the girl who was kneeling in the carriage when she returned home after the imperial trial that day. ”
The other three didn't know the meaning of King Qi's sudden move, but when the maid named Daigo stood at the table, Qin Song and Zhou Tianyi both had sudden expressions, this Daigo and Baoqin were twin girls, and it was Daigo who bumped into the street that day.
"I see." Zhou Tianyi smiled faintly, and no longer gave his eyes to the maid of the King of Qi, it seems that the King of Qi in the fifth watch is the same as the King of Qin in the Nine Circles, and everyone has been quietly staying in the city of Beijing and Zhou for a while before the peace, and the King of Qin occasionally sends people to follow him not far away, and the King of Qi simply tests him openly, Qin Song is right, he is really popular.
Only Wang Junting was the only one present who was unclear, she silently cast a puzzled look at King Qi, and received a look reply from the other party who explained later, and then quietly accompanied her.
Telling him about the temptation shows the sincerity of King Qi, and Zhou Tianyi is no longer ambiguous, and the two have been talking about Yuyan from the recent peace talks.
“…… What the? Is this the case? "Through the King of Qi who crossed the border, Zhou Tianyi finally knew what the situation of Yuyan, who had not been heard, was now, and after the war, the circle of cities closest to the main battlefield broke out one after another. Previously, with Zhou Tianyi's efforts, the main battlefield had been moving towards the country of Wujing and Jiuhuan, so this epidemic only affected a few small cities on the border of the Quartet, and it was not a major disaster for the Quartet.
But Zhou Tianyi was surprised that Zhou Tianlei's handling of this matter was not closed......
Lockdown? With the power of the emperor of a country, it is indeed not difficult to block the news of several small cities, but in the end, the entire Yuyan cannot spread the news, I am afraid that there are other forces in it, and an order of the emperor is often ...... Able to move for it.
After digesting King Qi's words thoroughly, although Zhou Tianyi's heart was turbulent, he regained his calm on the surface, even if what King Qi said was true, Yuyan's matter was not in a hurry, and now what was in front of him was the purpose of the prince who monopolized power in the fifth watch, and after quietly pouring wine into King Qi and his own wine cup, he asked in a hurry: "Your Majesty did not let this king know about this matter, there should be another arrangement, why did King Qi specifically tell him today?" ”
Zhou Tianyi was right, the emperor of the Quartet reminded himself and the King of Qin every day openly and secretly not to spread the news of the Yuyan plague, as for what the Quartet Emperor wanted to do, this had nothing to do with him, a neighbor.
But the last time Daigo stopped a car on the street to test Queen Zhao according to his order, Zhou Tianyi's actions at that time aroused his interest, and he consciously and self-reliantly divided King Zhao of the Quartet into the category of "interesting people", telling Yuyan that the situation was just a gesture, and what he wanted to know more was how Zhou Tianyi would decide after knowing this.
After thinking about it, he didn't answer his question directly, but analyzed it lightly from a different angle: "In the eyes of this king, His Majesty the Emperor of the Quartet wants to leave the credit of curing the disease and soothing the people to the two little highnesses, so that the successors can make achievements. ”
What Jiang Yan, the king of Qi, said, how could Zhou Tianyi not understand, after he returned to the dynasty, Zhou Tianlei cultivated his two older sons more than before, he ...... Looks like someone who is scheming to usurp power?
After the words were spoken, Jiang Yan poured himself wine, drank another cup and continued: "If you look at the overall situation, the actions of the Emperor of the Quartet are not unreasonable......
"Huh?" Qin Song's unintentional question broke the unfinished silence after King Qi's words, attracting the attention of the other three people, she raised her hand in surprise and wanted to cover her mouth and felt that it was even more unrespectful, and after pressing down her hand stiffly, she looked at Zhou Tianyi innocently sideways, asking for help.
This development was unexpected, Zhou Tianyi was funny and helpless, and sighed lightly to help her out of the siege, "You are crisscrossing the shopping mall, why did the bidder change to the emperor and start to be confused?" Qin Songcai is involved in the high-level, and the thinking mode has not kept up with the rotation of identity and status, but Zhou Tianyi does not want outsiders to look down on her in this way, so he lightly made a joke about her mistake.
Qin Song pursed his lips, where is he relieving her, and his words are conveying his understanding and tolerance to the other two, as if she has been snuggling up to his side, and her affection is deep.
But Zhou Tianyi did draw attention elsewhere, she retorted that she would not only dismantle his platform but also dismantle her own, thinking about it, she obediently regarded herself as a person who started the topic, she really didn't know how to pretend not to understand, and asked: "Qin Song really doesn't know the deep meaning of His Majesty's move, and asks the two highnesses for guidance." ”
Jiang Yan didn't care about the going and going between King Zhao and Miss Qin's family, he just had to see that the current Zhou Tianyi didn't have the heart and use of Wang Junting, as for what Qin Song asked, let King Zhao explain that he might be suspected of boasting, or he, a neighbor, should answer.
"Miss Qin is too modest, it may be more appropriate for this question to be explained by an outsider like this king." Jiang Yi nodded to Qin Song, then looked at Zhou Tianyi with blazing eyes, and said the crux of everything, "In the current Quartet, no matter the people and soldiers, they only remember that there is King Zhao, and as for the emperor and the princes, they are dispensable. After crossing the border, this king came to Jingzhou, listened to and saw countless along the way, and was moved. ”
King Qi's words were like a thunderclap, Qin Song looked sideways at Zhou Tianyi worriedly, and then turned back to sit upright without a sound.
"This king knows a little about medicine, and the emperor of the four directions has a dark face and is ......not in good spirits," he paused, and he continued: "If five or more years later, the new emperor with no merits ascends the throne, and the young King Zhao is still there, then ...... With the same royal bloodline, the people will be more favored and support King Zhao as the emperor, and then the four sides will be in turmoil, and the Quartet will be in turmoil, and the five watches and the nine winds will not 'sit idly by', and how big a bite can be depends on the appetite of the people in power at that time. ”
Jiang Yan's analysis is very objective, so objective that he doesn't even have the color of the five watches.
Since ancient times, the great chaos and great rule complemented each other and came into being, since the disintegration of Zhuhua, this land has not stopped in the war and stagnation, more than 30 years ago the Quartet annexed Bakun, which was the beginning of breaking the stalemate of the four countries, but did not expect that the emperor of the Quartet did not take advantage of the situation to go north and west, but returned to China peacefully and steadily to restore the national economy, so there is now a Quartet that is richer than the other two countries.
However, the previous emperors of the Quartet also left the restlessness of the continuous war of the Three Kingdoms to future generations, and the rulers of the three countries understood that the current truce was forced by national strength, and one day, as long as an excuse was found, it was only a matter of time before the war broke out again.
But in the short term, this peace treaty without fighting each other is still valid, so if there is no catastrophe, King Zhao's exploits will inevitably overwhelm his nephews of the same age, so ah, the current Zhou Tianlei is not only suppressing Zhou Tianyi, but also accumulating merits for his sons, and working together to ensure stability and worry-free in the future.
"For the sake of the overall situation, there will always be a small number of people who will be abandoned, and this time it is probably the people of several epidemic cities on the border." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, Wang Junting added that Yu Yan's situation was also when the two of them were sitting in the courtyard waiting for Zhou Tianyi and Qin Song, Jiang Yan told her, and whether to reveal this matter to King Zhao, Jiang Yan himself had made some careful consideration.
Zhou Tianyi was angry at Zhou Tianlei's handling of the plague, but he had nothing to say, as King Qi and Wang Junting said, the imperial brother's measures were for the overall situation, and all of them were just pawns in the overall situation, abandoning one son and protecting the overall situation, it was a calm, rational, objective and fair performance of chess players, but ......
People are human beings after all, not cold chess pieces without feelings.
Although Zhou Tianyi thought so, after all, the opposite person was the King of Qi of the Fifth Watch, and his position was different, so he would not obviously show his attitude, but was suspicious of King Qi's motive for reminding him to come here, and said with a smile: "King Qi is a clear person, why not hide it from the will of the royal brother of this king?" ”
This was the second time he had mentioned this today, and what the King of Qi had befriended him for, he couldn't give him even five points of trust until he figured it out.
Jiang Yan smiled without mind, and said seriously and seriously: "It's summer soon, the plague must not be sloppy, this king has already gone to the border to check, if the Quartet does not treat it, under the scorching sun, the epidemic will affect the fifth watch." ”
This is like what the king of the fifth watch Qi said when he looked at his country, but Wang Junting on Jiang Yan's side covered his sleeves and smiled secretly, he only said one reason, not the second reason.
Another reason that allowed him to disobey the warning of the Emperor of the Four Directions and tell Zhou Tianyi about the plague situation is very pure, and it is also in line with his unrestrained and reckless nature, compared to Zhou Tianlei, Jiang Yi is ...... is more interested in Zhou Tianyi, who is now in an embarrassing situation.
"In this way, this king will first thank the king of Qi for the people on the border of the four directions." Zhou Tianyi raised his glass and drank it all, which also ended the topic of border plague.
After that, the four of them talked about other things in bits and pieces, Zhou Tianyi's soldiers, Qin Song's business, Jiang Yan and Wang Junting's drumming music, and the customs and customs of the Quartet and the Five Watches, etc., chatting casually, and a meal of more than an hour passed quickly.
-
On the carriage on the way back, Zhou Tianyi abandoned the main seat, sat on the side of the car window with his feet raised, and kept silent to the half-clouded moon outside the window.
The main thing King Qi wanted to tell him today was the border plague, and although he talked about something else, anyone could see that it was just an additional to eat and drink, and now that he was back in the quiet carriage, he had to think about how to deal with the plague, to cure it or not, to go or not to go.
For the border people near the battlefield, Zhou Tianyi's feelings for them are different, the army and the people, his army fought bloodily to protect all the cities on the border line, and at the same time received a lot of favors from the people in the city, this mutual relationship is not to say that it can be abandoned, even if it is abandoned for the overall situation of the Quartet, he ......
Qin Song, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Zhou Tianyi with a worried expression, and the major events in the world discussed at a dinner refreshed her original cognitive concept.
Zhou Tianyi's unique benevolence, righteousness and fairness are in her eyes every day, and his generosity is principled and has a bottom line, so Qin Song understood his suffering at the moment, opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, and finally didn't say anything.
The two of them just looked out the window at the moon, and one looked at the moon, and they silently returned to King Zhao's Mansion all the way.
