Chapter 9: Amulets

The logic is perfect and the theory is excellent, but Zhuang Xun feels that it does not conform to human nature.

Now to explain, he still feels weird, and he is always a little wary of pie falling from the sky.

"Jiedu, you are now backed by a wealthy businessman, and you have a father-in-law like a military god who controls the power of Chengguo, we feel that you have the ability to unify the divided Yu Kingdom again." The national teacher remembered the previous discussion with King Yu, not for granted, but for whoever can do it, it was well thought out.

King Yu asked a classic question before: "What if you take the means of suppression and force Zhuang Xun to become a country." ”

The national teacher thought about it and had no answer, so he was anxious Zhuang Xun, he took Jiannan and Hebei Province to join Chengguo, what should Yu Guo do, send troops to attack?

Chengguo is now in power with Li Pingyuan, and it is completely possible to protect Zhuang Xun, maybe he will have to push back.

"On the contrary, he became an enemy, he borrowed the soldiers of Chengguo and fought back, and I became an enemy, and the most important thing is that his chances of winning are not small." King Yu is engaged in politics, he can see it clearly, and comprehensively analyze Zhuang Xun's background strength at the moment.

"Instead of being an enemy, it is better to have multiple friends, and he can rule the country, and he can bring me merit compared to those evil obstacles." After King Yu figured it out, the whole person was smooth.

"The Zen position is too controversial, and the ability to inquire is not enough to undertake this great position." The two of them persuaded together, Zhuang Xun analyzed his situation and said, in fact, he had already understood, but he didn't think he had the strength, it was almost the same to fish in troubled waters, and he inserted it directly into the battle, that was the target.

Sitting on the throne of King Yu, he will definitely face the siege of the prince who has been divided, he feels that he still doesn't want to take it, and the forbidden army has long been infiltrated into a sieve after listening to what Captain Wang said, accepting Zen Rang, becoming the new king, and mobilizing immobilized, there is not much benefit at all, it is all risk, who can accept this, he has the strength to be the king, not the strength to be the king.

"You also want Zhuang Qing to fight for it yourself, after all, my control of the kings is not as good as before, and I can only provide some small help, or some names when fighting for the throne." King Yu apologized and said that he could give Zhuang the best, this court meeting has been given, and the others he wants to give are either his age and identity are not enough, or he is actually out of control.

Before dividing the kings, it was to raise Gu, but I didn't expect to find a Zhuang Xun later, and I also let myself move my mind.

"I understand." Zhuang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, if he really gave him Zen directly, he would be uneasy.

Because he is far less strong than his appearance, he has two paths, and his back is against Li Pingyuan, he knows that his two foundations are unstable, and Li Pingyuan is estimated to be still balancing the domestic situation at the moment.

The only reliable one is Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang is really his white moonlight, even if she knows that she is the fish she raised, she is grateful to Dade, knowing that she is here for merit, then she is more at ease, so she wants to do more good deeds to give back to her.

rashly pushed himself into the position of Zen concession, this is not optimistic about himself, it is to send himself to death, Zhuang Xun's little brain is sober.

"You have to understand that in my heart now, this great position belongs to you, and if there is anything you ask for, I will meet you within the scope."

King Yu said in a showdown that he didn't have any good cards, because he allowed the princes to gather power and wanted to raise the strongest Gu King, and now that he was like this, it was impossible to take back power, so he could only let go of power and put more power to Zhuang Xun.

"There is a lack of everything, the main thing is the lack of time, the minister hopes that the saint will live a long and healthy life, and he can shelter the minister for a while longer." Zhuang Xun was embarrassed to say, as if he was cursing the emperor's life.

"Lack of time?" King Yu was stunned, and then showed a smile that he didn't know how to say, crying and laughing.

Their sons are all eager to die quickly, they are good emperors, one by one sharpening their knives, eager to send him to heaven with their own hands, but Zhuang Xun looks respectful and filial.

"I understand, Zhuang Qing can rest assured." King Yu's tone was also much gentler, although he understood that the reason why Zhuang Xun let him live longer was to accumulate more strength.

But people are to be compared, and suddenly I feel that Zhuang Xun is a man, and his sons are not people, and the guilt of not passing on the throne to his son is not much, and now there is no more at all.

"In addition, what else does Zhuang Qing need, can help you clear the universe with the power of thunder." King Yu's mood is getting happier and happier, and it may be that the problem he is most concerned about at the moment has been solved.

"Talents, in fact, I heard many people want to come to Jiannan Province today, and the minister is still very happy, after all, there is a real shortage of people in the revival of Jiannan Road, even if there are scholars recruited by Mrs. Jiang, the Li family, there is still a shortage of people, and there is a shortage of some capable people." Zhuang Xun thought about it and said that the role of talents is so great, he has already heard it badly on the earth, although the earth says so much, talents are still lost in the end.

"They're there to help you? They're there to wreak havoc, and to make you act like this today is to let others know that you are ambitious and to recruit talent for you. King Yu said disdainfully, he still doesn't know those guys, they don't have the ability to build, they do sabotage, and the bad guys and good deeds are better than one another.

"Why?" Zhuang Xun didn't react for a while, how could ambition be linked to talent?

"Talent will choose promising people to be loyal, you don't show a very ambitious appearance, how do you know that you have a greater future with you, Zhuang Qing, you are already a festival envoy, you can be regarded as a prince, you have to be more confident and arrogant." King Yu taught.

"Ah, is that so?" Zhuang Xun had unconsciously accepted King Yu's proposal.

"That's right, you don't need to be submissive to anyone, not only are you already a second-grade master, but you are also the future king of Yu Kingdom." The seniors guided the juniors, and King Yu had a feeling of raising the prince of the East Palace, a novel experience, because he had never set up a prince.

"Understood, it's just the saint, is there really no one else except for the ministers? The minister only wants to govern the one acre and three points of land in Jiannan. ”

Zhuang Xun realized that he seemed to have unconsciously promised King Yu to fight for the world, and felt that this gift was a bit big, even if it was just private support, it also meant that he didn't have to dance with shackles, and he could legally expand his power.

"If I resign, I'm going to be angry, it's not necessary for you to reorganize the society, how bad the mess I left behind, I know, this is to give you a chance, completely hand over the Yu Kingdom to you, I can't do it now, accept the holy decree, if you have the opportunity, you are orthodox, if you don't have a chance, then give up, and the national teacher is also here to testify." The emperor took out the decree from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuang Xun.

"Ah, this ......" is the edict of Chan Rang.

"Jiedu, take the decree, since Your Majesty has this good intention." The national teacher persuaded on the side, and after an analysis by King Yu, he also felt that Zhuang Xun was a good candidate, with strong competitiveness and knowing how to cherish the people.

At this point, Zhuang Xun felt that he would be hypocritical if he resigned, although he felt hypocritical when he took this holy decree, he still held the holy decree and bowed and thanked him and said: "Thank you for the love of the saint, the minister will do his best to prosper Jiannan." ”

"Slippery head, you can take off your crown clothes, the crown clothes and the emperor's seal are all for you, the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, I hope you can compete with those rebels of mine." King Yu listened to Zhuang Xun's words, and couldn't help but smile, is it just a prosperous Jiannan.

"I understand." Zhuang Xun fled for his life, quickly took off his crown clothes, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I put it on, but I can't take it off." King Yu saw that Zhuang Xun couldn't wait to get rid of his crown clothes, and said with a smile.

Zhuang Xun heard it, pretended not to hear, took off his clothes and prepared to leave.

"If there is nothing else, the minister will retire." Changing into his robe, Zhuang Xun said that his affairs were too bizarre, and Zhuang Xun wanted to go home to prepare his thoughts.

"Stay with me for lunch and then leave, maybe you won't have a chance to go to Jiannan again." King Yu said close to him that he wanted to talk more, and he felt a little lonely and widowed old man asking young people to stay and eat.

"Let the minister report peace to the family." Zhuang Xun listened, and it was not good to resign from King Yu's dinner.

"I'll have people talk about it, and I'll give you some small gifts, which you may be useful in the future." King Yu said casually, Zhuang Xun didn't delve into what the small gifts were.

Lunch was completed under the service of the eunuch and the palace maid, and King Yu restrained a little, and King Yu behaved like a faint king, and rewarded Zhuang Xun with a big reward, the palace maid and slave maids, property and goods, and the two ladies of Zhuang Xun were named the second lady of the order.

Wait, you don't have to show it, he is a faint king, and his casualness is a portrayal of him in the past 20 years, but Zhuang Xun is such a favored courtier, and it is the first time he has encountered it, and he thinks that good things are thrown on Zhuang Xun, after all, these are not like official positions, and they need to go through court discussions.

Out of the imperial city, sitting in the carriage, Zhuang Xun was still dizzy, there were too many things happening in a day, overwhelmed, quite a kind of just obtained Siqin Mi, and when he opened the door, he encountered Mrs. Jiang's promotion of filial piety.

He lifted the curtain and let the spring breeze blow his head, sobering up his wine, his face crimson, and the reason why he was dizzy was just a few glasses of wine.

Gorgeous clothes and hats, beautiful as jade.

"Stop!" Same streetscape, same beauty.

got out of the carriage, approached, and was stopped by the guards, he also saw that it was Lan Qiu, and the person next to him was naturally Mrs. Jiang, who had been absent for a long time.

Through the tulle, you can feel the charm of her appearance, gorgeous dress, she is always the star of the crowd, showing her wealth with luxury, because her identity is a big businessman who walks the world.

"Don't stop the imperial history, the slave family has seen the imperial history." Taking two steps forward, Mrs. Jiang asked the guards to let Zhuang Xun pass, and she saluted Zhuang Xun at the same time.

"Mrs. Jiang, don't bother to ask, I have seen Mrs. here, Mrs. Jiang, you didn't go to Zhao State, why did you come to Yu Country again." Zhuang Xun said happily in return.

"The world is helpless, it's all business, there is a demand to come, today I have nothing to do, I wander on the street, I don't want to meet filial piety." Mrs. Jiang said unexpectedly, and also felt that it was a coincidence.

She actually came to see Ge Tan, Ge Tan had something to do today, so she came out to take a stroll and experience the fireworks in the world, it was purely an accident to meet Zhuang Xun, but if she met her, she would meet it, and it would be good to chat a few words.

"I was lucky enough to meet you, Mrs. Jiang, please travel with me and go to the house to talk about it." Zhuang Xun invited and said that he saw his friend who had been absent for many days.

"Very good, let's swim together." Mrs. Jiang did not refuse, in addition to the layout of Youguo, she also came to take care of her koi this time.

"Did Goshi drink?" Zhuang Xun's exhalation of wine made Mrs. Jiang frown.

"The Holy Banquet and wine are given, and I dare not accept it." Zhuang Xun explained in a low voice, like a social man who was afraid that his wife would misunderstand.

Zhuang Xun's cautious words, Mrs. Jiang immediately noticed that her words were a little reprimanding, and her voice was soft: "It's good to drink a little drunk, and excessive drinking hurts your body." ”

"Thank you Mrs. Jiang for your concern, you don't drink it at home, and your majesty's wine can't be drunk." He couldn't help but accept his gifts, and with a lot of bells and whistles, he could also feel that there were many more boxes of things in his home.

"The slave family also understands the difficulties of the imperial history, can they still walk? It's better to find a teahouse to sit in. Mrs. Jiang empathized and said that being able to understand Zhuang Xun's helplessness, it is also very important for practitioners to cultivate their minds, and being able to put themselves in the shoes of others to see problems is a necessary skill for practitioners who have entered the world.

"No, it's just a few glasses, and the wine is not strong, so my brain is a little dizzy, but it's okay." Zhuang Xun smiled, he didn't want his friends to accommodate him.

"Let's take a walk, then." Mrs. Jiang smiled, looking at Zhuang Xun as if looking at her own son, of course there is no son, after all, it is a koi, but it is also closer than ordinary pets, after all, it costs a lot of money, and she also likes Zhuang Xun.

Self-aware, self-humble and reserved, and grateful for gratitude, not the kind of white-eyed wolf who does not know how to advance or retreat.

"This Yudu is also quite prosperous, in many capitals that the slave family has seen." Mrs. Jiang looked at the dazzling goods on the road and said with emotion.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is natural to look more vibrant, after all, they are all the presence of some officials and masters, and they are also the faΓ§ade of a country." Zhuang Xun replied, he looked at such a prosperous scene, and wondered when Jiannan Dao could be like this.

"What is Goshi thinking?" Seeing Zhuang Xun's eyes looking at Hua Street, with a slight feeling, Mrs. Jiang asked curiously.

"I'm thinking, when will Jiannan Road become as prosperous as here, I heard people in the past say that Jiannan Road, especially Xihe County, is very rich." Zhuang Xun said with the feelings of farming, playing simulation games has this kind of touch, looking at other people's good, thinking that they also have it.

"As long as Yushi is diligent, Jiannan Dao will definitely be able to rejuvenate and regain its glory." Their own koi are so sensible, which makes people worry-free, knowing that they work hard and are not hedonistic.

"It's all thanks to Mrs. Jiang for your help, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to this mess in Jiannan Dao." This is especially true of the issue of grain, because after all, there is a period of time from sowing to harvesting.

"No, it's the planning of the imperial history is reasonable, and there is no selfishness, from the Zhao country to the Yu country, the slave family also went to see the Jiannan Road, which is well organized and has shown vitality, and the people all praise the good history of the imperial history, and it seems that it will not be long before the pre-war situation can be restored." Mrs. Jiang praised.

"What am I doing, my wife is good, I don't have the ability to govern the county without her." Zhuang Xun made the credit of the owner clear.

"That's not necessarily the imperial history, you know how to make good use of people, how can ordinary people give power to the wife of the family, let her govern the county on her behalf, without Mrs. Wei, this spring ploughing may not be carried out smoothly, the scholars also respect Mrs. Wei, act decisively, and be fair to things."

Mrs. Jiang said what she had seen and heard, after all, she recruited a scholar, and she had some contacts, and all of them praised Si Qinmi's virtuous ability, although she was a woman, she could command the entire Jiannan Dao, and Zhuang Xun was also quite bold in delegating power.

"If there is no Mrs. Jiang, the scholars you have recruited for you, I am afraid that it will be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and this court meeting can be regarded as being able to solve the problem of official appointment for them." Zhuang Xun told Mrs. Jiang the good news at today's court meeting, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of his promise to Mrs. Jiang.

"Did that solve the problem of the official title of the imperial history?" Mrs. Jiang's mood did not fluctuate, as the queen mother of Zhao State, these are all small things for her, thinking that the senior brother also takes care of Zhuang Xun, this kind of thing is not strange, Zhuang Xun became the king of Yu State, it is estimated that she can be surprised.

"It's solved, now it's Jiannan's envoy, and now Jiannan is a legitimate ruler." Zhuang Xun shared the good news.

"Now Mrs. Jiang, your caravan can do business in Jiannan and connect the Three Kingdoms of Yu Chengyou, but Mrs. Jiang, you value merit more." Zhuang Xun first told her the good news, and then thought of her status as a cultivator, and his face fell.

"No, it's all fanciful, the merit is not what you think, you want to restore the entire Jiannan Dao to the way it was before the war, and now it is considered to have a lot of merit, let's find a place to ......"

Before Mrs. Jiang could finish speaking, a loud noise interrupted her next words.

"Because of the lack of land harvest, from now on, the Zhenguo Mansion will no longer give porridge on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and will no longer borrow grain and property." A strong man who looked like a family member shouted loudly to the person receiving the soup kitchen.

Suddenly, the people in the crowd made noisy noises, Zhuang Xun looked at it twice, and there was no new wife of Zhenguo Gong in the porridge shed, only some family members.

"Zhenguo Gong, the one who framed you last time? I didn't expect them to be able to insist on giving porridge on the fifteenth day of the new year, and they could also borrow grain. Mrs. Jiang recalled that she decided to raise for the first time at the birthday banquet.

"Yes, it was here that I tasted a bowl of rice porridge from the Duchess of Zhenguo, Si Qin, and I was lucky to be introduced to find a job, otherwise, it might have been a dry bone in a mass grave." Zhuang Xun said with emotion, recalling that the beauty of Siqin Mi had been imprinted in his heart at that time.

Without Si Qinmi, Zhuang Xun wouldn't even be able to live, let alone be recommended by Mrs. Jiang later and meet Li Ruji.

"Jiedu is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so collecting the corpse for the Siqin clan is also a cycle of cause and effect, and it is also Jiedu's righteous act that makes the slave family treat each other with blue eyes, and this is also the origin of you and me." Mrs. Jiang said with a smile in her words.

"It's Si Qin's who asked me to get Mrs. Jiang's blue eyes, but it's not the Zhenguo Mansion, forget it, I'll tell you in detail about it when you find a place." Zhuang Xun gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

He is not a clay man, he is angry, he has been framed by Lu Buming, Zhenguo Gong, he has always been obsessed, originally because Si Qinmi hated Zhenguo Gong's family, he was humiliated for asking for transportation fees that time, and he was framed later, and now it can be said that he holds a grudge.

"Okay, find a place to talk." Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhuang Xun's gritted teeth and smiled, as if she was watching a child get angry and had to show the comfort of her elders, and Zhuang Xun didn't treat her as an outsider.

Coming to a tea room, Mrs. Jiang took off her hat, rich and graceful and delicate, delicate and moving, her slender eyelashes moved lightly, with a nobility that is not like the world, compared to Li Guifei, not as cold as Li Guifei, but like the sun halo next to the sun in the sky, seven colors of iridescent, dazzling, but difficult to approach.

Zhuang Xun looked away, terminated the feast of vision, and then looked at it disrespectfully, enemies and enemies can be disrespectful, but friends and benefactors still need to pay attention.

"Is it the festival that you say first, or the slave family first." Mrs. Jiang smiled, and said with tolerance in her gorgeous and charming appearance, waiting for Zhuang Xun to pour out.

"I'll go first, what is the Zhenguo Mansion, what kind of soup kitchen, road repair, bridge repair, etc., were all done when Si Qin's was there, today is the evidence, without Si Qin's Mansion, where would they still do this kind of discounted business." Zhuang Xun is full of disdain, and emotionality prevails.

"It seems that this is right, especially Lu Buming, reversing black and white, seizing the opportunity in the future, you can't let go of their family, they must all be killed, and no one will be left." Mrs. Jiang agreed, standing on the same position as Zhuang Xun.

"Mrs. Jiang, are you, no, not, a cultivator?" Zhuang Xun was frightened by her words, and said hesitantly, he didn't expect the gentle Mrs. Jiang to be so murderous.

"Cultivators are not allowed to kill? What is the reason, now it is the turn of the slave family to say, this is also what the slave family wants to tell you, although the sky is not expensive to die, but to report straight and repay, to repay grievances. Mrs. Jiang praised.

"This kills his whole family, hiss......" Zhuang Xun still thought of the Zhenguo family just now, killing Lu Buming is almost there, he thinks.

"Then it depends on your thoughts, I killed all the officials of the mansion last time, and said that you have awakened to murder." Madame Jiang blinked.

Zhuang Xun was shocked and lowered his head: "I killed the wrong person?" I will not admit my mistakes, and if I don't kill them, everyone will flee behind my back. ”

"That's right, that's right...... Just to see if you are indulging in the happiness of killing, it seems that the slave family is too worried, and the slave family is not accompanying the festival. Mrs. Jiang said apologetically.

"No, it's just that if you become greedy, Mrs. Jiang, will you give up on me?" Zhuang Xun asked cautiously.

"Is it possible, what, are you afraid that the slave family will give up on you? will not give up easily, after all, the slave family has made a heavy bet on Jiedu. Mrs. Jiang replied with a smile, feeling a hint of amusement.

"I'm scared, I respect you, Mrs. Jiang, if you choose to leave me, you feel like you've done something wrong." Zhuang Xun was embarrassed to say.

"So you keep holding the slave's handkerchief, and let the slave be laughed at for so long last time." I want to say that I will not leave you, but it is very strange to say this, and I feel something, Mrs. Jiang said angrily.

A handkerchief flew out of Zhuang Xun's cuffs and floated between the two, Zhuang Xun's cheeks suddenly turned red like Guan Gong, and there was also a little help from alcohol.

"I don't know, I've always been a talisman, and I haven't shown it to anyone, I'm sorry, I'm Meng Lang in this matter, like a disciple."

Stand up and admit his mistake, although he is indeed a talisman, he was blessed at the last birthday banquet.

"Amulet? It's true.,Since that's the case, just take it.,Just a token of your relationship with me.。 Seeing that Zhuang Xun was already nervous and didn't know what to say, Mrs. Jiang smiled and stopped pursuing it.

has its own mark, let others know that it is himself, is the protection of the Xuannu faction, it can indeed be regarded as a talisman, it is also quite commemorative to say, it protects his longevity banquet, and it is also this thing that makes the Xuannu Niangniang know that this is the fish she raised, so take more care, Zhuang Xun is also full of respect for himself every day, thinking that Zhuang Xun is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and she has no intention of teasing Zhuang Xun.

The handkerchief flew back to Zhuang Xun's cuffs, and Zhuang Xun's crazy beating heart fell, giving birth to wisps of thoughts that should not be there.
