Chapter 4: Promise her

"Mrs. Jiang is here, Zhao Guo is attacking the western border, there must be a connection between this." Let the attendant invite Mrs. Jiang to the welcome hall, Zhuang Xun said to Si Qinmi.

"Isn't it obvious that you say? The main reason is that she came with what purpose, although she is our benefactor, but now as the envoy of Zhao State, she still needs to be on guard. ”

Siqin Mi put away the chess pieces and said, afraid that Zhuang Xun would fall into the ditch, so she first reminded Zhuang Xun not to treat Mrs. Jiang as a benefactor and relax the bottom line.

"As you said, I resolutely refuse to drive a wedge between me and my father-in-law." Zhuang Xun assured that he was still especially grateful to his father-in-law, Li Pingyuan, for letting him go.

"It's not impossible if the price is high, it's like the promise of Zhao Guo last time." Siqin Mi took the initiative to say, Zhuang Xunren was stunned.

"No, my father-in-law ...... us" Zhuang Xun said anxiously, Li Pingyuan was really benevolent and righteous to Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun didn't want to turn against him.

"There are only interests between countries, no feelings, Lang Jun, you can choose to be generous when you are destroyed, and leave each other with a life, but don't substitute personal feelings into the affairs of the country."

Si Qinmi said unceremoniously, it was the second awakening for Zhuang Xun, looking at Zhuang Xun who understood and could not accept the coexistence, Siqin Mi continued to speak:

"For the sake of the country's future and luck, father and son have to fight, Lang Jun, you and Taishi Li are only sons-in-law, besides, sooner or later, we will have to be hostile to Taishi Li, since our goal is Kyushu in the world, it is your father-in-law who stands in front of us, and we can't show mercy."

"Don't say the backstab so righteously...... It's not a good thing to break the covenant. Zhuang Xun said with a little shame.

"The politics of the country is like this, this is what Lang Jun said to your concubines, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests." Siqin Mi covered the chess box and refuted him with Zhuang Xun's words.

"You're right, that is, my conscience is condemned, and if I do something wrong, I must know that what I have done is wrong." Zhuang Xun took a deep breath and shook his head to shake these troubles out.

"Lang Jun is right, go change your clothes and see what kind of medicine Mrs. Jiang sells in the gourd, the old rules, one time to agree, two times to object."

Siqin Mi stood beside Zhuang Xun, telling the precautions for a while, and Zhuang Xun nodded understandingly.

"It's still too little information, I can't figure out what the situation is, if Qingluan is still there, at least I can ask."

Zhuang Xun regretted that the last time he saved the scene, the Xuannu disappeared, and after He Tan returned to his soul and did rehabilitation training, the Xuannu did not say goodbye, and he didn't know where to go, Zhuang Xun thought, it should be going to Zhao State.

"Miss your little lover?" Si Qinmi joked that she was also very sorry, after all, she couldn't get the wool of the Xuannu, and she wanted to get more of the Xuanyuan Sword last time.

"Big lover, I really want to, it's been almost half a year, I said why did she give me a love token, it turned out that she was leaving." Zhuang Xun said regrettably, Xuannu's fragrant lips are soft and glutinous, why don't you want to.

"You are honest, Qingluan is also affectionate, and before leaving, it is a token of love, and it is a great beauty to send each other, if only you send some more territory." Siqin Mi said with a smile that she still has a good impression of Xuannu.

"It's not equivalent to what she gave away for nothing. Don't be greedy, I think she regretted it, and we had a tendency to unite with Chengguo, and Zhao Guo was excluded. "Zhuang Xun was embarrassed to say, killing the ghost king Nie Jin, Xuannu made a big effort.

Zhuang Xun tried to stand in the position of Xuannu and said, how to look at it, how to lose, the only benefit is to eradicate the ambitious Nie Jin, and although Chengguo and Zhuang Xun are more united, they do not have the desire to expand to Zhao for the time being.

"So Mrs. Jiang is not here." Siqin Mi followed Zhuang Xun into the house.

The two of them changed into a more formal shirt, and it was not a canonized crown dress, but they had to show their attention and pay attention to it.

Tie up the crown and wear the jade, tidy up the clothes, even if Zhuang Xun has a maid now, but when he gets up with Zhuang Xun, Siqin Mi still tidies up his clothes for him, just like Zhuang Xun will be with her at night, and he will be full of her.

Under Si Qin Mi's satisfactory praise, Zhuang Xun took Si Qin Mi's hand and came to the welcome hall.

"The slave family visits Queen Xia, and Queen Xia is healthy." Mrs. Jiang knelt down and saluted.

"Mrs. Jiang is outside, you can't afford this big gift, didn't you say it last time? It's just business as usual. After Zhuang finished speaking, Siqin Mi helped Mrs. Jiang up.

"Yes, Mrs. Jiang, you are our benefactor, and you are indispensable for today, Mrs. Jiang's support."

"King Xia is getting more and more powerful, the slave family is terrified, seeing His Royal Highness King Xia once, King Xia has changed his appearance, and the slave family doesn't dare to think about what kind of scene it will be next time they see His Royal Highness King Xia."

Mrs. Jiang sincerely complimented that Zhuang Xun's climbing speed was unprecedented, and both normal and abnormal ways were used.

"Isn't it also thanks to Mrs. Jiang, you and Zhao Guo, and now you can be crowned king by Your Majesty, and you will glorify your ancestors." Siqin Mi pulled Mrs. Jiang to sit down closely, and sat next to Zhuang Xun by herself.

"Don't dare to be, it's all His Royal Highness's own efforts, where would ordinary people reuse the queen like His Royal Highness, Princess Li, only His Royal Highness has such a broad mind."

Mrs. Jiang really admired this, she was able to hand over the national affairs to the military and the government, and then it did prove the talents of the two, rather than a random decision, which shows that Zhuang Xun knows people and makes good use of them.

"That's true, Lang Jun is really open-minded and can accommodate many people." Si Qinmi's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Jiang, which was meaningful.

Today's Mrs. Jiang is dressed in the same luxury as before, wearing a pale yellow cardigan skirt, her snow-white skin arouses people's imagination, and her fallen horse bun looks full of the gentle taste of a woman.

Mrs. Jiang pretended not to understand, so she took the initiative to start today's purpose: "I wonder if Your Highness has received the battle situation in the west?" ”

"Is there something wrong with the west?" Siqin Mi asked in surprise, Zhuang Xun couldn't speak, people couldn't afford to provoke the high-end bureau, sat honestly, and smiled politely.

"Our Zhao army expelled the Chengguo army and captured the western four provinces of the original Youguo, and now the soldiers have touched the city." Zhuang asked them not to know, and Mrs. Jiang began to reveal that the whole person's sense of oppression was full, and with her words, it seemed that she could feel the pressure of the soldiers facing Yucheng.

"So Mrs. Jiang, are you here to persuade you to surrender?" Si Qinmi's expression became cold, and she lost the gentleness and thoughtfulness she had just now.

"Where to be the king is not to do, my Zhao State is the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor Wencheng Wude, the domestic Heqing Haiyan, why not take refuge in my Zhao State? Why sit and wait for death with the rotten Yu Guokong. Mrs. Jiang persuaded that the country's position was clear.

Anyway, Zhuang Xun already knows her identity, and there is no need to hide anything, Mrs. Jiang had done a rehearsal before she came, and she was not stupid and rushed up to give the land and pull people over, and the fool knew that it was a trap.

"Mrs. Jiang, you are a grace to us, Lone respects you very much, and Emperor Yu is also a kind of know-you to us, Lone can now give many orders, thanks to His Majesty's trust, not to be lonely and humble, and to be promoted ahead, how can you betray Yu Guo and turn to Zhao State for the sake of interests?"

Siqin Mi scratched Zhuang Xun twice and refused, and Zhuang Xun immediately found an excuse and said that his attitude was firm and careless.

"The slave family naturally knows His Highness's position, but doesn't His Highness know that he has fallen into a crisis?" With the tone of my consideration for you, Mrs. Jiang's demeanor also turned into worry.

"Mrs. Jiang, please speak clearly!" Zhuang Xun's expression softened, looking a little tangled, after training, he is also a qualified actor.

"Your Highness is loyal, but the princes of Yu Country have no good intentions, and they are already planning to send a large army to conquer Your Highness." Mrs. Jiang half-truths and half-hypotheses said that the princes of Yu State were indeed deploying troops, not to attack Zhuang Xun, but to coup d'Γ©tat, and of course to guard against Zhuang Xun.

"Really?" Zhuang Xun suddenly stood up, he didn't plan to believe this news, after all, if this was the case, how could King Yu not tell him.

"Naturally, it's true, your power has surpassed that of the princes, they are afraid that you will pick up the leak and be picked up by you during the battle, so they have reached a consensus to snatch Jiannan Dao back from your hands as a barrier to the west, this time the Zhao army entered Jizhou is their contact and asked to attack Your Highness together."

Nonsense, and there is some truth, these princes have such an idea, but they were rejected by King Yu, and King Yu said that Zhuang Xun was loyal and would never rebel, and naturally it was impossible to send troops to conscript.

Zhuang Xun knew this information, so Mrs. Jiang said it, but she had a sense of reality, after all, the princes had been united for such a short time, and their minds were not broken, thinking that while Zhuang Xun's foothold was not stable, the chance of giving him a hammer was still quite large.

"The saint will not agree, and Lone has not seen the domestic action." Zhuang Xun pretended to believe it, his face became ugly, and he lost the ease and freedom he had at the beginning.

"But His Majesty King Yu is old, and when can he shelter His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is a filial piety recommended by the slave family, and His Royal Highness also knows very well that he is not the so-called illegitimate son of King Yu, and the Yu Kingdom will be passed on to these princes after all."

Mrs. Jiang's words were low, and her sweet voice was cold at the moment, as if she wanted to put the cold reality in front of Zhuang Xun.

"Well, you're right, but Lone's loyalty to Yu Guo will not waver." Zhuang Xun wanted to say that he would inherit the Yu Kingdom, but thinking of the princes' attitude of resistance, he felt that a war was indispensable, and he had to fight anyway.

"At this time, Zhao Guo is attacking back and forth, I don't know how you will deal with it, Your Highness." Pulling the tiger skin, where can Zhao State divide his troops, and recruit a small number of Xiangyong soldiers at most.

"It's really difficult to deal with, you can only repay the country with death, Mrs. Jiang don't have to persuade her, her mind has been decided, and she already has the intention of burning the jade." Zhuang Xun was resolute, and the assumption of Mrs. Jiang's words was dangerous and terrifying. So the corresponding words of his would rather die than yield.

"Why does Your Highness refuse the olive branch thrown by our country, Your Highness is a person who is destined for the slave family, and the slave family can't bear to see His Highness perish, loyal to a country that is destined to fail you, why not set himself up as a king?" Seeing Zhuang Xun's tough attitude, Mrs. Jiang changed her attitude and began to say some soft words.

"My country's Son of Heaven is determined to be in Kyushu, and there is no extra energy to contain and manage Jizhou, so we need to have a grasp in Jizhou, His Royal Highness will contain the two countries of Jizhou, and when my country's Son of Heaven dominates the world, he will still not lose the throne of the king."

Mrs. Jiang set out the conditions, and the indomitable momentum shocked Zhuang Xun speechless, is she really confident, is she aiming for Kyushu?

If you had to ask him to say something, would you be able to say something like that? I'm afraid he feels a lack of confidence, although he is moving towards this goal.

"Mrs. Jiang, please go back, your mind has been decided." Scratch twice again, or refuse.

"Mrs. Jiang, forgive me, this Langjun is very stubborn, and my loyalty to Zhao State not only represents the betrayal of Yu State, but also represents the destruction of Weng's son-in-law's friendship, after all, Zhao State did not resist Chengguo at the beginning, we have no covenant, it is Chengguo's Li Taishi who sees the feelings of Weng's son-in-law and makes me equal to this country."

Si Qinmi seems to be making a defense, but in fact he is raising the price, which is a way to promote his identity, and the two of them are singing with a white face and a red face.

"Your Royal Highness, Niangniang has heard of the difference between small righteousness and great righteousness, now the Zhao country is strong, and the dragon is fighting, I believe you have also heard of it, this world belongs to my Zhao country.

Stubborn resistance and finally died of the clan annihilation, only one person, but there is no hindrance, and the integrity of His Royal Highness has been fulfilled, this is a small righteousness, but His Royal Highness is not just a person, His Royal Highness can save the Li family of the country after returning to the Zhao State, save the existing country of His Royal Highness, save the Yu country, and keep the temple, which is the great righteousness. ”

Mrs. Jiang's words were inflammatory, and Zhuang Xun was about to refute it, but Si Qinmi pressed his hand.

"Mrs. Jiang, what you said makes some sense, but to obey Zhao Guo, as Zhao Guo's grasp in Jizhou, we can't bear the anger of Chengguo, we have to face the hostility of Yu Guo and Chengguo, what can Zhao State provide us."

Si Qinmi explained the difficulties of reality, and Zhuang Xun also nodded, if you want to be a person who betrays the alliance, you have to be prepared to face the anger of your allies, you all withdrew last time, do you know what it is like to tremble in front of the Chengguo army? Who would dare to believe you?

In other words, is there a real price?

"Chengguo don't worry, King Qinghe has reached an agreement with our country to return the three northern realms and the four western realms, even if Taishi Li is angry, it is impossible for him to cross the forces of the Qinghe King to attack you, and this total of seven Zhao kingdoms can be handed over to His Highness, as your posture of being the king in the secluded land, and give His Highness support, instead of joining forces with Yu to attack Xia You."

Siqin Mi, who is shrewd like a fox, is impossible to pry her without interests, so Mrs. Jiang released the condition, land, land is always the biggest bargaining chip.

Si Qin Mi's bright eyes froze for a moment, and then reacted, the puzzle is complete, now it is all understood, all understood.

"This ......" is heartwarming, very heartwarming, and now it is a complete Youguo.

"We agreed, if Zhao Guo is willing to give us the Northwest Seven Dao, we are willing to become Zhao Guo's pawns." Siqin Mi preemptively agreed, and at the same time scratched Zhuang Xun's palm.

"In that case, please come down to Jinyang and sign an alliance." Mrs. Jiang took the opportunity to put forward conditions.

"This ......" Suddenly, Qin's imprisonment of King Chu Huai flickered in Zhuang Xun's mind.

"Aren't you going to be king? By the way, come to Zhao Kingdom to marry me, the Queen Mother's sister wants to see you! Mrs. Jiang lowered her head slightly shyly, which did not conform to the temperament of the character, but it was very real.

Siqin Mi scratched Zhuang for a moment.
