Chapter 708: Let's not talk about two families
Even if you give Wei Zhen an ambitious leopard gall. He didn't have the guts to tell his dad Weiz that he was now an honorary resident of Crouching Tiger, otherwise he would be peeled off if he wasn't beaten half to death.
Even if he really beat his own son half to death to get angry, Wei Zi didn't dare to tell Cao Cao about Wei Zhen's secret contract with Jin Guo, otherwise, with Cao Cao's suspicious character, he was afraid that the Wei family would disappear in Yanzhou in a short time.
With a few contracts in his hand, Wei Zhen's heart was intertwined with contradictions at this time, and he didn't know where the future would be for a while.
The master who had followed Wei Zhen for many years on the side whispered: "Childe actually doesn't have to be so distracted, this matter seems to be dangerous, isn't it a good thing." As long as Gongzi can get the help of King Pingxi in the future, let alone obtain the position of the head of the family, even if it brings the Wei family to a more prominent position, it is not impossible!"
Wei Zhen smiled bitterly and said with some doubts: "The imperial court is really willing to watch Zhao Guochang call for wind and rain in the Western Regions and occupy a huge piece of territory again?"
The master said with certainty: "This time Zhao Xing was named the king of Pingxi is definitely a sure thing, if the imperial court does not agree, I am afraid that the more than 30,000 imperial forest troops detained in Diaoyin City, more than 10,000 northern troops detained in Linfen, and nearly 30,000 southern troops encircled in Xiatao City will be captured by the Jin State and sent to the north to be coolies." The imperial court could not afford to lose so many regular troops, let alone give Zhao Guochang a king of Pingxi, and the imperial court actually did not have any losses. ”
Wei Zhen sighed and said with some distress: "In this way, if you want to break out of Zhao Guochang's control in the future, I am afraid it will never be possible." ”
Master comforted Wei Zhen and said: "Childe might as well think about this problem with a different identity, there are many people in the world who want to attract Zhao Xing's attention but can't, if it weren't for Childe is the son of Wei's family, I'm afraid there is no such opportunity this time!"
Wei Zhen didn't say more, and waited for the arrival of Zhao Xing's sealing ceremony in the Welcome Garden. In fact, he is no longer worried about the negotiation, what he is worried about now is how to lie to his father and Cao Cao after returning to Yanzhou, and how he turned Zhao Xing with his three-inch tongue and successfully completed the mission of this mission.
In the days when Wei Zhen was waiting, Zhao Xing, who was about to be named the king of Pingxi, was not idle, he sent Li Ru to "invite" Lu Su, who was wandering around in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, to return to Crouching Tiger City, and received Lu Su with extremely grand etiquette.
If it was Zhao Xing and other five people who formed a team of five people to fool Wei Zhen a few days ago, then this time the wise Lu Su was equivalent to forming a group on the Jin side.
From the beginning of arranging accommodation for the envoys of various states, Lu Su from Eastern Wu was particularly taken care of, and the Jin State not only arranged for him to live in the No. 2 Courtyard next to Huang Wan, but also arranged for some important figures of the Eastern Wu Business Group to live in the No. 18 Courtyard.
Subsequently, all walks of life in the Jin Kingdom gave the green light to the merchant group from Dongwu all the way, not only allowing the members of the merchant group to visit some less sensitive workshops, but also sending people to accompany and explain the whole city, which is difficult for other states to obtain.
Lu Su was very wary of Zhao Xing and Jin Guo's unusual enthusiasm this time, because it was obvious that Dongwu had a request for Jin Guo, but Zhao Xing uncharacteristically lowered his body frame this time to be close to himself. As the saying goes, "when things go wrong, there must be demons", the more Zhao Xing and Jin Guo were enthusiastic about Lu Su, the more bottomless he was in his heart, so he simply took advantage of Zhao Xing's failure to be sealed, and went out of Crouching Tiger City to visit various places in Shangdang.
Lu Su said that he was going out for a tour, but in fact he was still inspecting the internal political model of the Jin State and learning the advanced production and management model of agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery of the Jin State. With Lu Su's political talent and brain, as long as he carefully ponders it, he can always find some ways to come out.
Although he didn't know why Lu Su liked to wander around so much every time he came to the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Xing still faintly felt that something was wrong with letting him wander around in the Jin Kingdom, so he hurriedly invited Lu Su back from Guyuan City in the name of inviting the Eastern Wu merchant group to a banquet.
In the next few days, Lu Su had to face the enthusiastic and strong banquets from all walks of life in the Jin Kingdom, basically a feast at noon, and another feast at night, all kinds of wine, only to drink Lu Su dizzy, almost want to flee.
Originally, I wanted to keep calm and wait until Zhao Xing became the king before coming to see Lu Su, but now I couldn't stand it, so I had to let people prepare gifts and come to see Zhao Xing.
After entering the Zhao Mansion, Lu Su found that after the people in the mansion saw him, they were obviously much more enthusiastic than last time, and they seemed to be like a family. Even the Menzi who led the way in front of him seemed to have something to do with the Sun family in Wuzhou.
Lu Su smiled bitterly in his heart, because he knew that all this had something to do with the fact that the daughter of Sun Jian, the lord of Wu, was now mixed with Zhao Xing's eldest son. Although Sun Ren and Zhao Zhenbang were able to come together, it was exactly the result that Dongwu Wenwu expected to see, but Dongwu took the initiative to come to the door and said that the matchmaker and the girl were trapped by other boys, which are completely different things. To put it bluntly, now the initiative is completely in the hands of the Jin State, if Zhao Zhenbang dies and does not admit it after eating and wiping it off, Sun Jian has nowhere to reason.
According to Lu Su's understanding of Zhao Xing, this person will never suffer, either he will pit you openly when he is in power, or he will dig a pit to bury you secretly, in a word, you have not discussed the pit. Lu Sucai didn't believe that Zhao Xing would have no idea when he learned that his son was with Sun Renmao, looking at the situation this time, he was afraid that he had already thought of a plan to deal with himself.
Zhao Xing, who had a sunny face, stood very enthusiastically on the steps of the eaves of the main hall and waited for Lu Su to come from the front yard.
When Lu Su heard Zhao Xing say that he was going to drink again, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Taifu must not do it, Su is only a little drunk, and he really doesn't dare to show ugliness in front of everyone, so this banquet is still done." ”
When Zhao Xing heard Lu Su say this, he showed an exaggerated expression of anger, and said loudly: "Alas, how can this be done! Mr. Zijing is a distinguished guest of my Jin Kingdom, and this time he represents the elder brother Sun Wentai of Eastern Wu, so it is reasonable that we must treat it well!" After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he dragged Lu Su into the main hall of the banquet without saying anything.
When Lu Su looked at the people in the hall, he almost fainted on the spot. It turned out that the guests who attended the banquet recently were the representatives of all walks of life who took turns to accompany Lu Su and the Dongwu business group in the past few days, and now everyone sat together, whether in terms of scale and momentum, it was far better than the previous few days, and Lu Su only came alone, as long as one person toasted him with a glass of wine, he was afraid that he would be drunk on the spot and fall to the ground.
Lu Su said to Zhao Xing with a bitter face: "Master Taifu, do you have any requirements to tell me in private, don't let so many guests and friends come to pour me wine today, it's really a little unbearable!"
Zhao Xing said with a righteous face: "Zijing, don't worry, our family doesn't talk to each other, and today I promise not to let the big guy pour you wine, you can drink as much as you want!"
