Zhuang Xun expressed loyalty, Zhao Wang did not care, because there are too many people who express loyalty to him every day, and Zhuang Xun is just one of them.

"King Xia You's words are serious, and King Xia You is benevolent and righteous, and he can be recognized by everyone, King Xia You looks at how my Zhao Kingdom is."

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, the courtesy is still exchanged, Zhuang Xun expressed his loyalty, and in this kind atmosphere, King Zhao does not hit the smiling person.

Dongcheng is an aristocratic city, row upon row, pavilions and pavilions, glazed as decoration, it looks neat and comfortable, elegant and exquisite.

With the attitude of the master, he generously showed Zhuang Xun his country, and this city really made him proud.

"It is beautiful, worthy of being a big country in the Central Plains, and it is a prosperous scene that we have never had in small marginal countries."

The humility he showed was not only because Zhuang Xun now had a ghost in his heart, but also because he clearly knew that he was a piece of meat on Zhao Guo's board at this moment.

Xuannu is protecting herself, but Xuannu is in retreat, and the discussion is also to deal with Zhao Guo first, after all, it is still necessary to explore to escape Zhao Guo, and it is not possible to make a hasty decision.

"After dominating the world, when the future King Xia can live here, I can build a separate palace for the King of Xia, so that the King of Xia can also enjoy the prosperity of the Zhao Kingdom."

Zhuang Xun's words satisfied the vanity of King Zhao, and he laughed and said, his words seemed heroic, as if the world had been held in his hands, and he was proud of the prosperity of Zhao.

Even he called Zhuang Xun no longer called Xia Youwang, but called Xia Wang, the two-word king is not as good as the one-word king, this is also his commitment to Zhuang Xun, cooperate with Zhao Guo, and wait for Zhao to unify the world, Zhuang Xun can enjoy the treatment of the prince in the future.

"Of course, if King Xia misses his homeland and wants to seal it in the fiefdom, I will not stop him at that time, so that King Xia can be free."

Drawing a big cake, in order not to disgust Zhuang Xun, King Zhao added another sentence, anyway, it doesn't cost money to paint a big cake, and you don't have to worry about these small profits when you get the world.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your mercy, Xiao Wang came from a humble background, and it is already a great luck to be able to settle down in Zhao State, when he was humble, he once wanted to come to Zhao Country to seek a life, and now he can live in a palace, thank you Your Majesty Longen."

Zhuang Xun naturally agreed, his expression was excited and joyful, and he kept thanking, because he didn't want to argue with King Zhao about anything, and under the knife of others, there was only the word gratitude.

"King Xia said with a smile, King Xia said that he was about to become my relative, and it would be good to live in Jinyang when the time comes, and the family will be closer."

King Zhao expected to say that he felt that Jinyang was the most perfect national capital, and he also felt that although Zhuang Xun was half a compliment, he still had some truth, and he was very comfortable listening to it, so he naturally got very close and climbed up his relatives.

"Xiao Wang Zheng doesn't know how to tell His Majesty, it's also a private matter, and it's not easy to speak." Zhuang Xun pretended to be embarrassed and shook his head.

"Human nature is graceful, elegant things." King Zhao smiled strongly, and there was a hint of snickering.

When he first heard the news, he was shocked and stood up directly, Empress Dowager Jiang said that Zhuang Xun asked to marry her, King Zhao was incredulous, and felt very reasonable.

His mother Furong is beautiful, her temperament is noble and extraordinary, her skin is like a gorgeous quality, and she is just like a concubine, and it is not normal to be loved and pursued?

But he objected on the spot, after all, it was really unreasonable to marry as King Zhao's mother, and it was a slap in the face.

Earth, his mother found a man younger than himself, and most people can't stand it, let alone Zhao Guo, who has a little bit of etiquette and teaching.

If this is really the case, how can King Zhao's face rest, and he is speechless, so he immediately asked unwillingly: "Do you want to marry him, Queen Mother?" Do you like him too? Erchen disagreed. ”

"How is it possible, the mourning family just sees him as a destined person and a koi, telling you that they are looking for you to ask for a princess title."

Empress Dowager Jiang's thoughts have been made very clear, so I will repeat it, from her perspective and position, marrying Lan Qiu to Zhuang Xun is already a blessing from heaven.

She didn't regard Zhuang Xun as an opponent to dominate the world, but only as a courtier to control in the future, so it was natural for her to let Lan Qiu marry on her behalf.

After all, Zhuang Xun's appearance, this easy-going personality does not seem to have the ambition to compete for the world, and there is no threat.

"In the name of the princess?" At that time, King Zhao was also in a situation where a layer of window paper was not broken.

"The mourning family wants to marry Lan Qiu to him, to serve as our eyeliner in Xia Guo, and as a nail in the Xia Kingdom that can't betray us, after all, Xia Guo is capricious and doesn't deserve too much trust."

"The identity of the mourning family lies to the outside world is that of the cousin of the mourning family, so they want to give Lan Qiu the identity of a princess, so that the identity of the foreign marriage is right in Yemen."

Mrs. Jiang's abacus jingled, at least in her opinion, it was a plan that could not be more perfect,

When Madam Jiang's words came out, King Zhao immediately understood what he meant, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "In this way, King Xia You will think that we are deceiving him." ”

"As long as the layout of the Three Kingdoms of Jizhou is completed, he will swallow it knowing that he has been deceived, after all, he has no other way than to take refuge in us, and the time will not come again, besides, Lan Qiu is short of him? is the princess of Zhao again, and she has a relationship with the mourning family, do you want the mourning family to marry him in person? ”

"Besides, the marriage is just a reason to delay him in the Zhao Kingdom, you still expect us to use his life as a guarantee, and not letting the Xia Kingdom interfere in the Yu Kingdom is a thing that makes him happy."

"Since they are all angry, why should they care about the impact of this deception, besides, Mrs. Jiang did marry him, and Lan Qiu will be Mrs. Jiang in the future, and Mrs. Jiang will always be Lan Qiu."

"As long as the triangle of Jizhou is maintained, he has to rely on us, there is no need to defect from us, and these are all trivial things, there is no need to care, they are all old foxes engaged in politics, he should understand that he is partial enough to him."

"After that, I will privately reveal the identity of the mourning family to him, let him know the gap with the identity of the mourning family, as well as the limitations of the mourning family, he knows the true identity of the mourning family, and he should be able to understand that the mourning family will never marry him with the identity of the queen mother, otherwise it will be the conquered Zhao State or the Xia State conquered."

Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at King Zhao and said angrily, maybe she was laughing at King Zhao's innocence, and King Zhao roughly understood it when he heard it.

So now looking at Zhuang Xun's gaze, there is some compassion and amusement, after all, Zhuang Xun's request is destined to be a moon in the water, and in the end he can only get a fake.

"Because Mrs. Jiang really takes care of me, I have this kind of desire to repay, become better, and govern well to be worthy of Mrs. Jiang."

Zhuang Xun's heart said purely, this is also the truth, this is also what Xuannu said, he was half-convinced, and now he is using it as an excuse.

"My aunt must be very happy, and I wish King Xia can win my aunt's heart and return with a beauty." is an old actor, and there are few real expressions on his face, and King Zhao pretends to be happy, and maybe there are parts that he really finds funny.

I feel that Zhuang is a fool, and in all kinds of ways, it feels like he is going to fall into the trap, a kind of God's perspective of looking down and superior.

Regardless of personality and situation, it is indeed very refreshing to simply observe the world from a lofty perspective, develop in the direction you feel, and see people in the trap.

"By Your Majesty's auspicious words, Xiao Wang will definitely bring Mrs. Jiang home, at least for now, Mrs. Jiang is quite satisfied with Xiao Wang's rule."

Zhuang Xun still has some self-confidence in his humility, he feels that his rule is not as magnificent and prosperous as Jinyang, and he feels that there is gold everywhere, but at least he is not clothed, and he is still working hard to make everyone well-fed.

"King Xia has worked hard, what is the situation below, under the rule of King Xia, there must be a big city that does not lose to Jinyang." King Zhao asked knowingly, and had the intention of comparison, because Zhuang Xun was recognized by Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang had no intention of marrying Zhuang Xun with her own identity, but she praised Zhuang Xun's policy, but she knew that it was not in line with Zhao Guo.

Zhuang Xun's capital is still relatively depressed, after all, the war and so on, Zhuang Xun is killing opposing families everywhere, how can there be a big city that does not lose the capital of Zhao State.

"Jizhou is a bitter cold land, the property is barren, how can there be a city like Jinyang, Jinyang is also the largest city in Kyushu in Kyushu, Your Majesty don't laugh at Xiao Wang."

Decisively admitted, Zhuang Xun squinted at the high-spirited and complacent King Zhao, and felt a little disgusted in his heart, what are you proud of the city established by sucking blood.

Fifty steps can laugh at a hundred steps, Zhuang Xun just feels that he has improved, taking foot binding as an example.

Modern people think that foot binding is a great crime, but ancient people don't think it, and maybe some people feel sympathy.

In the same way, kings and even gods, they are accustomed to seeing the underclass, they are used to it, and even occasional sympathy cannot change the opinion of the world.

Zhuang Xun will not use his own moral concept to forcibly restrain others, he just needs to do it himself, there is no such big city, anyway, he feels that the whole person is from Zhao Guo, he is a progressive who does not bind his feet.

"Yes, the world will be unified, and when the time comes, let King Xia govern Jizhou, and you will definitely build a city like Jinyang."

Satisfied, King Zhao began to draw a big pie, promising to divide Jizhou to him in the future, Zhuang Xun pretended to be flattered, and said flatteringly:

"At that time, Jinyang will be even bigger, and it will never be able to catch up, after all, the gap between the emperor and the king is like the bright moon and the stars, Your Majesty is the bright moon in the sky, and Xiao Wang is just a broken star, just to defend Your Majesty."

Zhuang Xun's flattery King Zhao has heard many people say it, but Zhuang Xun is a koi recognized by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and he also likes to listen to what he says.

The two talked happily, and soon the carriage came to the palace, entered the middle gate, made a detour into the middle gate, and went straight to the Taiji Hall of the court.

"It's time to go to the palace, King Xia and I will meet the ministers." When he arrived at the palace with bright walls and bright tiles, under the majestic hall, King Zhao invited Zhuang to inquire and say.

"Yes." Zhuang Xun got out of the car first, lifted the curtain for King Zhao, and regarded himself as a courtier of Zhao, before and after the saddle.

Zhuang Xun felt that he couldn't be as forbearant as Gou Jian, but he was still willing to sell and pretend to be loyal, after all, let King Zhao not guard against him, so that he could escape, if he showed great ambition, King Zhao would stare at him from time to time?

It reflects the naivety of King Zhao who grew up in the deep palace, and looking at Zhuang Xun's diligence, he really thought that Zhuang Xun ate the flatbread, and there was really a strange feeling that one person was willing to paint and one person was willing to eat, but King Zhao couldn't detect it.

Who would have thought that the person who had already decided to come to you had other thoughts in his heart, although Empress Dowager Jiang had already reminded him that Zhuang Xun was very vacillant about forming an alliance.

Coming is actually a welcome banquet, delicacies, fine wine, the taste is very good, but Zhuang Xun eats less and drinks less, his wine is not good, and he is afraid of revealing his true words.

On the surface, there were complaints about Zhuang Xun's defection to the middle and lower class nobles, but several important ministers still expressed their congratulations and friendship lasted forever.

Zhuang Xun looked unclear, indifferent to this hostility, as if he hadn't seen it, and was grateful for the toasts of the prime minister and the captain, looking like a countryman who had never seen the world.

Zhuang Xun pretended to be a political novice, and when he asked about Xia Guo's affairs, he answered in a shallow place, and if he couldn't answer, he said he didn't know, and finally a minister asked him why he didn't know so much about Xia Guo.

"It's all done by a lonely lady, where does a lonely woman understand this." As soon as Zhuang Xun's words came out, everyone laughed.

No matter how thick-skinned Zhuang Xun was, he lowered his head embarrassedly, and was shy, a few points were acted, and some points were real.

"Okay, let's not talk about state affairs today, you can enjoy the song and dance, celebrate the arrival of King Xia to our country and form an alliance, and our two countries will always be together."

King Zhao also felt that Zhuang Xun was unbearable, and he was a fool who didn't understand anything and could just say flattering things, but he still relieved Zhuang Xun.

Zhuang Xun's arrival wants to create momentum, and let people know that Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan's implicit alliance relationship has been broken, which can be regarded as a method of allocation.

After all, Zhao Guodu and Zhuang Xun have formed an alliance, and Li Pingyuan has exterminated a partial division of Zhao State, basically there is no communication, and they are all enemies by default, and Zhuang Xun's behavior also represents a break with Li Pingyuan.

At the same time, this matter also bypassed Yu Guo, so Zhuang Xun betrayed the country, after all, he was still a courtier of Yu Guo in name, and he ran to other countries without authorization, and King Yu was not easy to cover up.

The dance of the beauties is like a dancing cloud wandering fairy, gorgeous and colorful costumes, bold and unrestrained dance steps, quite in line with the current environment of Zhao State, the pursuit of pleasure and enjoyment.

Zhuang Xun lowered his head to eat, while being persuaded by King Zhao and the ministers to drink, he drank the wine toasted by the three princes and nine qing, he felt a little confused, and he wanted to pretend to be asleep.

"King Xia, have you seen such a dancing girl in Jizhou? Don't you like the dance music if you don't watch the summer king? Zhuang Xun had already turned his head, and suddenly King Zhao asked him, and he almost didn't hold back for a while.

He pretended to be sleepy-eyed, and replied half enviously: "In a poor country, how can there be such a skilled dancing girl, who can step on the stage like water, and is as beautiful as a dragon, Xiao Wang is not strong enough to drink, and has the intention of sleeping, so I don't look at it." ”

"I didn't take this into account, come here, please come to the palace to rest, if the king of Xia lacks dancing girls, this team of dancing queens will send the king of Xia."

King Zhao said generously and compassionately, and the courtiers below all showed envious expressions, and it seemed that the reward was very valuable.

"Xiao Wang is afraid that he can't afford to raise these dancing girls, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life."
