Chapter 16: I can't wake up

"It's just a team of dancing girls, how can you not afford it, isn't King Xia still short of food?" King Zhao laughed and said that Zhuang Xun's image as a countryman had been determined.

"Lack, the people are short, when I was in charge of Jiannan Road, the people were poor in ten rooms and nine empty, and the family was surrounded by walls, and I felt deeply guilty, I was a parent official, and I did not ensure the peace of the people, and I had no worries about food and clothing, so what face did I face the world.

In the second year of Yue, the tyranny of the king of You, the conquest of the country, the southeast of the country, the war of the place, the people were tired, they were frugal, they did not dare to slack off, and now the northwest of the country was restored with the help of the country, but it was also ravaged several times, rebuilt and revived, and did not dare to waste luxury. ”

It was also too much wine, Zhuang Xun ridiculed, this luxurious banquet was all splendid, and the attendants who came and went were dressed in high-grade satin, how did he look at it.

It's just that I don't know if these people can understand, and he also likes to watch beautiful women dance, provided that he is worthy of the people who provide for him.

However, it is obvious that these people do not understand, and most people look at Zhuang Xun as a neuropath.

The emperor's dancing girl actually said that she was poor and couldn't afford to raise her, and the reason for her poverty was to let those mud legs have enough to eat.

I think there is something wrong with Zhuang Xun, otherwise how could he say such uninformed words, or he is stupid to read, and what he says is unrealistic.

"What King Xia said is, but if you don't take good care of your body, how can you govern the people of Limin, especially if a benevolent and righteous monarch like King Xia falls ill from being tired of eating and clothing, it will be a loss for my Zhao Kingdom."

A slightly obese man said that when he first entered the wine, Zhuang Xun knew that he was one of the two protagonists of the last time he fought for wealth, Mrs. Hao.

"That's right, the beauty of voice and color can cultivate sentiment, King Xia didn't understand the benefits, the love of the saint, don't shirk, this is a top dancing girl that I have never had."

Song Fengchang, who had a mustache, also echoed and said that the battle between the two was overshadowed in front of King Zhao Baili Ziyun, and he already felt very uncomfortable.

They drooled greedily, Zhuang Xun, a barbarian from the Northeast, actually disliked it, and felt that he couldn't afford to raise it, it was really a bun.

"That's right, if King Xia doesn't need it and is short of money, the official can exchange it with King Xia with money."

Mrs. Hao looked at the dancing queen who was still dancing, and deliberately dug a pit and said that he really liked the dancing queen of the court, and he also had the meaning of mocking Zhuang Xun, and the impression of transferring Zhuang Xun in front of King Zhao.

After all, King Zhao's reward, Zhuang Xun was resold in front of King Zhao like this, so where to put King Zhao's face, he will definitely be disgusted with Zhuang Xun.

As soon as he said it, the officials below immediately snickered and exchanged heads left and right.

"Haha, is this the king of that place in Jizhou? It's so vulgar. ”

"I can't afford to raise a dancing girl, what kind of king is it, haha......"

"No one plays music when you eat."

"What is the use of the common people when they are full, and it is troublesome to have too many births......"

Zhuang Xun could hear some in his ears, and some couldn't, but he understood the playful smiles on everyone's faces.

Suddenly there was a kind of empathy for Lu Xun looking at the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Zhuang Xun did not feel ashamed, but felt that these people in front of him had become jackals, tigers and leopards one by one, with blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Then it is better to ask Your Majesty to reward me with the same amount of gold and silver, I myself am not entitled to enjoy the music that Your Majesty can enjoy, Your Majesty has mercy on me, and rewards me directly with money, and I use part of it to recruit dancers, and the other part to buy clothes for the people, so that they can be warm in winter."

Zhuang Xun pretended to be drunk, not into the routine of Mrs. Hao's servant, and then said in half a yin and yang: "All the adults sitting here must let the people under their rule have no worries about food and clothing. ”

It's a pity that his yin and yang tone was really regarded as drunken talk, and none of these people's expressions were ashamed, because most of the people in the court could not really go deep into the peasant house and talk about the lives of the people like Zhuang Xun in this life, not to say that there is no at all, but it can also be said to be close to zero.

Therefore, not only did he not feel the irony of Zhuang Xun, but he raised his head proudly, as if whoever did not show that this was the case meant that he had not governed the people under his jurisdiction well.

"King Xia has this kind of thought, it is commendable, the people are like water, the king is like a boat, King Xia can have this kind of thought, in order to break out of his own foundation in Jizhou."

As King Zhao, he also didn't feel yin and yang, at least all he saw was brightly dressed, even if it was Nancheng where civilians were there.

"I will build a mansion for you in Jinyang, and I will send the dancing girl there, all with the support of the royal family, without your expense, I will reward you with gold, silver and cloth, and bring it back to the Xia Kingdom, so that the people will not be left without clothes."

Zhao Wang said generously that he had changed his opinion of Zhuang Xun a little bit, so that he was like a koi raised by his mother, although his knowledge was shallow, but his heart was kind.

"Little Wang, thank you for the reward of the Son of Heaven." Zhuang Xun thanked him, but he was a little discouraged, he felt that he didn't see what he wanted to see, and he didn't want to stay, so he took two steps and stumbled.

He also wanted to quarrel with these angry ministers and nobles (they drank too much), and whipped them well, so that they could understand the importance of treating people as human beings, but he didn't expect these people to admit it like this.

It's not that he confessed, but Zhuang Xun's yin and yang didn't attack in place, and this group of people didn't experience Zhuang Xun's yin and yang, Zhuang Xun's fist hit the cotton, and fell into the situation of chickens and ducks.

But even if they understand Zhuang Xun's yin and yang, I'm afraid it doesn't matter, but they feel that Zhuang Xun is sick.

"King Xia is drunk, help King Xia to go down to rest." Zhuang Xun's appearance of pretending to be drunk is very similar, so King Zhao is not embarrassed by him, after all, it is not a banquet for Zhuang Xun.

The palace maid on the side helped Zhuang Xun up, and Zhuang Xun lowered his head and followed the palace maid out, leaving such an uncomfortable environment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will continue, but can anyone write poetry ......?"

King Zhao's voice came, Zhuang Xun sighed, terminally ill, terminally ill, Siqin Mi is a white lotus that can grow in the sludge, but Zhuang Xun can't stand such an environment.

If he was in the officialdom, he might not be swallowed up There was no scum left, while closing his eyes and thinking about the triumph of this group of people, Zhuang Xun had a kind of hatred for the house and Wu, and wanted to go back to find Li Ruxi, and he didn't want to be in this place.

The pure jade hand wiped Zhuang Xun's cheeks with a handkerchief, cool and soft, Zhuang Xun opened his eyes, it was Mrs. Jiang and Lan Qiu, and there was no one else.

"Mrs. Jiang, you." Zhuang Xun wanted to stand up, but was held down by Mrs. Jiang.

"Aren't you still used to the environment of Zhao Kingdom?" The handkerchief rubbed Zhuang Xun's forehead, and Mrs. Jiang said gently.

"Some, it's different from in Xia and Yu." Zhuang Xun blinked, looking at Mrs. Jiang's face close at hand, and his heart was pounding.

But thinking of the positions of both sides, he closed his eyes and seemed to be really drunk.

"You're right, the slaves have heard it, they're all stupid, don't pay attention to them." Mrs. Jiang wiped the fine sweat from Zhuang Xun's face.

"I understand, just do what you have to do, does Mrs. Jiang agree with me." Zhuang Xun said that after discussing with Si Qinmi, he already knew Mrs. Jiang's position, and he still hoped to win her over.

He didn't know the identity of Mrs. Jiang, she was the queen mother of Zhao Guo, and she didn't know that Zhao Guo was the brainchild of Mrs. Jiang, so his efforts were doomed to be in vain.

Later, he learned that only by attacking Zhao State, attacking Jinyang, and using his more progressive path to destroy the path that Madame Jiang thought was perfect, could he hold this woman in his hands.

She is the queen mother of Zhao State, not upside down in love, she has her own thoughts and wills, and she is a woman who needs to be conquered by Zhuang Xun.

However, Zhuang Xun didn't know anything, he used his previous experience to apply it to the current scene, and wanted to invite like-minded friends.

"Agree, but too idealistic, the slave family said before, Your Highness, no matter how fair and beautiful you do, in the end it will be monopolized by the landlord of the family, just one generation, at most two generations."

Mrs. Jiang withdrew her hand and sat on the edge of Zhuang Xun's bed, she didn't choose to smash everything at the beginning, because this time was too long, first to seize power and consolidate power, and then to suppress, smash everything and finally rebuild too much time, too much time to weaken, and foreign enemies were also eyeing it.

She united the family to govern the world, compared to the family to seize power, the country will not be a country, the country is much better, this structure is also very stable, and even if everything is smashed, no more than 70 years, a new family landlord will be formed, and finally become what it is now.

"I also told you, Mrs. Jiang, even if it's a generation." Zhuang Xun stubbornly raised his head, and his eyes met Mrs. Jiang's phoenix eyes.

"I know, if Zhao State unifies the world, it will definitely be distributed again." Madame Jiang promised Zhuang Xun, chuckling, as if she had given in.

"Really?" Zhuang Xun remained skeptical, and had seen Zhao Guo's psychedelic operations.

"Surely, I didn't expect you to say that at a banquet? Think it's too extravagant? Mrs. Jiang continued to ask, her eyes gentle.

Zhuang Xun obviously knew that she was a liar who could lie and coax people, but he still hummed, King Zhao didn't like these scenes that showed the prosperity and strength of Zhao State.

"You're right, but get used to it, it doesn't matter if you can't blend in with these people, I'm sorry, Zhao Guo disappointed you like this."

After getting Zhuang Xun's whereabouts from Lan Qiu's report, Mrs. Jiang understood the sarcasm of Zhuang Xun's words, and came to be a confidant sister, afraid that Zhuang Xun would be so powerful that she couldn't think about it.

"What do you have to apologize for, it wasn't you who caused it, you will soon be from the Xia Kingdom." Zhuang Xun held Mrs. Jiang's hand.

Mrs. Jiang didn't break free, listened to Zhuang Xun's words, smiled and didn't say anything, she didn't say full responsibility, at least half of the responsibility, she let these families live too well.

Since you can get taxes, field taxes, and commercial taxes from the big family, and get elite soldiers from the small family and Haoqiang, the royal power has also expanded to the extreme of not turning the face at present, so naturally, some aspects can only be let go of the part, allowing the family to increase income above the bottom line, for example, Zhuang Xun heard that to do a certain business, ask for the permission of a certain family.

As for going to Xia Kingdom, it is impossible for her to go, she is not a love brain, Zhao Kingdom is also her foundation, she never dreamed that one day she would personally dedicate this inheritance.

"Mrs. Jiang, when will I marry you, I want to go home." Zhuang Xun was blunt, holding Mrs. Jiang's jade hand, and he was a little impulsive when he drank.

also exposed his true thoughts, this Zhao Guo really couldn't stay at all, and wanted to return to Xia Kingdom quickly, where there were no exquisite pavilions and pavilions here, but he was at ease.

"Next time you drink." Mrs. Jiang smiled and dealt with Zhuang Xun, who was already drunk, and Zhuang Xun was already drunk and confused.

"Oh oh......" Zhuang Xun, who realized that he was impulsive, quickly let go, but his eyes were dumbfounded, and he didn't know whether he was playing or revealing his true feelings.

"You have to meet the slave family's relatives first, don't you say? The Queen Mother also wants to see you, how can it be so easy. ”

Mrs. Jiang said slowly, patting the back of Zhuang Xun's hand, Zhuang Xun felt a wave of tiredness, and felt that what Mrs. Jiang said was also reasonable: "That's right, see your parents first." ”

"Sleep." Blowing a puff of aroma at Zhuang Xun, Zhuang Xun squinted his eyes and fell asleep.

"Niangniang, will Zhao Guo really distribute land again?" Lan Qiu asked when he saw Zhuang Xun sleeping.

"It will unify the world, and it will be much simpler to be the Son of Heaven." Here, Mrs. Jiang didn't lie to Zhuang Xun.

"It can't be done before dominating the world, after all, the talents of all countries are from the family, the generals and generals are also from the family, and some technologies are also from the family.

Madame Jiang walked towards the cabinet beside her, saying something like truth, which belonged to the truth in her cognition.

"Mother, why." Seeing that Mrs. Jiang took a blanket and slowly covered Zhuang Xun, Lan Qiu couldn't understand.

"What, why?" He took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhuang Xun's hand and stuffed it into the blanket.

"Doesn't Niangniang dislike King Xia You?" That's why she let herself marry on her behalf, and she can't understand Mrs. Jiang's current movements.

"How can you not like it, the mourning family has watched him become a king all the way, but it's not the kind of like you think, the mourning family regards him as a junior, a nephew like this, he will become a disciple of the mourning family in the next life, if the mourning family doesn't like him, how can they want to marry you to him."

Gently glanced at Zhuang Xun, Empress Dowager Jiang stood up, the fish raised, the best koi, cats and dogs have feelings for a long time, not to mention people, and Zhuang Xun thought that it was a little different.

"How is Yu Guo?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhuang Xun sleeping sweetly, and her sexy red lips grinned.

Bringing Zhuang Xun to Zhao Guo is naturally for Yu Guo, as soon as Zhuang Xun comes to Zhao State, Mrs. Jiang has already begun to lay out, and now it is considered to be a little progress.

"The king of Donghua has connected the princes and is preparing for a coup d'Γ©tat."

According to the information that came, Lan Qiu said to Mrs. Jiang that Zhao was ready to support the king of Donghua, so the tandem was also the tandem of the king of Donghua.

"Let him pay more attention to the movements of King Lao Yu, after all, there is a senior brother of the mourning family, it is not so easy, alas, it is really mud that can't support the wall, worry about this and worry about that."

Mrs. Jiang showed a headache expression, like Xizi was delicate, but it was not surprising to think that this was a coup d'Γ©tat manipulating a country thousands of miles away.

"Isn't that something that can't be helped? King Donghua is a little arrogant, but he is the strongest among the princes, and the other princes are even more troublesome. ”

Lan Qiu and Mrs. Jiang ran around, and they had seen what King Donghua was like, so they also showed a headache.

"It would be nice if the mourning family could dispatch in Yu Country, but it's a pity that they have to deal with this little guy." Empress Dowager Jiang's green jade pointed at Zhuang Xun's eyebrows, Zhuang Xun frowned uncomfortably, and she let go happily.

"There's no way, it's Niangniang who wants to use this method to trick King Xia You to Zhao Kingdom, Niangniang, you have to be here to stabilize him, and you don't want to break off with him immediately and tear your face."

Lan Qiu covered her mouth and said with a smile, feeling that Mrs. Jiang's actions were also very confusing, and she didn't want to marry and used this way to attract people.

"It's not that I was beaten by the eldest lady's way, our family's Xuannu Niangniang, the eccentricity is very eccentric, she is afraid that she has long held the idea that Zhuang Xun will arrest him if she can't come, but let the mourning family cheat, and has always hinted that Zhuang Xun likes the mourning family, in order to deceive Zhuang Xun, the mourning family can only use all the chips that can be given, after all, it can eliminate a hidden danger."

Mrs. Jiang showed a helpless expression, full of resentment towards the Xuannu, but the Xuannu was in retreat at the moment, and she couldn't feel her resentment, so she could only express it to Lan Qiu, this sentence was full of yin and yang.

"Is that so? Why is Xuannu Niangniang so partial to King Xia You, what kind of ecstasy soup did King Xia You pour into Xuannu Niangniang. ”

Lan Qiu laughed and said, what a preference it is to make Xuannu so partial, even if she lowers her cultivation to merit, she has to arrest Zhuang Xun.

"Who knows, the mourning family still wants to find a chance to ask, maybe it's the fate of the Xuannu Niangniang, but you also know that the Xuannu Niangniang likes to pull Lang with her temperament."

Mrs. Jiang herself was also confused, she knew that Xuannu could forcibly kidnap people, what conditions did she use, and she had to pay so much to ask Zhuang to come over.

Even she wondered if it was to trap her, Xuannu and Zhuang Xun teamed up to design her, but now Zhuang Xun was forcibly arrested, and Xuannu was recuperated in retreat, not intentionally.

Zhuang Xun does not cooperate, then it is the Xuannu who is uneasy and kind, fortunately, she is in retreat, otherwise she basically can't escape, and she basically can't use the means of marrying, the Xuannu doesn't say coercion, I don't know what means to use, I will definitely convince myself, I shudder when I think about it.

"If you like to pull Lang matching, you won't use merit and cultivation as a price, there must be some other reason." Lan Qiu was lost in thought, but he lacked a key connection point, so he couldn't think of anything.

How could they have thought that the Xuannu who overhauled to great mana would move her heart, and would come to defend her man, forcibly build a road to heaven for him, and say that she would not favor you, but the actual body is so honest, seeing your fatigue, desperately trying to damage your merits and want you to be an idle prince.

"Don't say it, just now you are going to marry Zhuang Xun instead of the mourning family, this golden lock is held, and it is transformed into the appearance of the mourning family, ordinary people can't tell it, even if it is a god with great mana, such as Niangniang, she won't find it if she doesn't explore it carefully, as long as she doesn't show her feet, she won't check it carefully, and the mourning family still doesn't worry about Yu Guo, and wants to go to Yu Guo."

Mrs. Jiang took out a golden lock from her pocket and hung it on Lan Qiu's chest reluctantly, introducing the strength of the golden lock while telling Lan Qiu to take precautions.

In fact, I still feel that Xuannu is abnormal, and she hid away from Zhuang Xun during the honeymoon period of Zhao State, and she hid far away, she hid in Yu Kingdom, and she didn't believe that Zhuang Xun and Xuannu could still do anything to her.

"Niangniang, when are you leaving?" Lan Qiu didn't react yet, and asked in a daze.

"He came to see the mourning family, and after that, it was a few days, and it was too late to control the situation in Yu Kingdom."

God knows, how long the Xuannu Niangniang will be in retreat, and the more she stays, the more insecure she becomes, so she leaves quickly.

"You change into a mourner, and the mourning family will cover you up." Suddenly feeling urgent, Mrs. Jiang ordered Lan Qiu to speak.

"Okay." Lan Qiu pinched a trick, the same heavenly fragrance and national color, as bright as a peach and plum, but the action was a little stiff.

Mrs. Jiang stepped forward, bit her finger, and the essence blood dotted on Lan Qiu's eyebrows, and Mrs. Jiang played by Lan Qiu became smart.

The two stood together, except for the different clothes, like two sides of a mirror, and they couldn't tell who was the real Mrs. Jiang for a while, and then Mrs. Jiang was satisfied.

Lan Qiu turned back to her original body, a little embarrassed and at a loss, and said, "Isn't it not good to have a mother's face like this!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, flesh and skin, the Immortal Buddha hates others with their own faces, and the mourning family doesn't care, why should you care, so that he can be satisfied, and before the situation in Yu Country is stable, he will not have any rebellious heart."

When the situation in Yu Country stabilized and the three-legged trend was formed, Zhuang Xun found that what about the incompetence and rage, at that time, Zhuang Xun could only go at the pace of Zhao Guo, before that, it was still stable Zhuang Xun, Mrs. Jiang increased her eyeliner staring at Zhuang Xun several times, in order to be foolproof.

A thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, Zhuang Xun does not have the idea of escaping, it is the best, and it is also because of this idea that she came to appease Zhuang Xun.

It's a pity that Zhuang Xun is now full of backbones, and it can't be solved just by her appeasement, but she chose the most proud and arrogant way of playing.

Zhao Guo is a real dragon trapped in the shallows, Zhuang Xun is not, the carp has just crossed the dragon gate, and the head has just grown horns, at this time, Mrs. Jiang, who came to restrain Zhuang Xun, made a big mistake that affected her fate and underestimated the enemy.

"You take care of him, how familiar and familiar you are, the mourning family will leave first." Mrs. Jiang explained, and she also had the intention of letting the two get along.

"The slave understands." Instead, Lan Qiu sat next to Zhuang Xun, and after Mrs. Jiang left, her black and white eyes stared at Zhuang Xun like this.

Zhuang Xun turned around irritably, Hong Chacha's face was full of drunken red, she learned Mrs. Jiang's technique and wiped Zhuang Xun's sweat.

Seeing Zhuang Xun's relaxed expression, he smiled, and then fell into deep thought, staring at Zhuang Xun thinking a lot of things in his head.

There is the admiration of seeing Zhuang Xun for the first time, there is the laughter that mocks him for not being able to do anything, and the shame in front of Zhuang Xun and her farmers, and the shame of being a landless obstacle for fifty miles, especially today I heard Zhuang Xun's mockery of the hundred officials, which evoked her memories.

She is the daughter of a criminal who was rescued by Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang taught the Tao, and Mrs. Jiang is also a teacher and a mother to her, and she is like a sea.

What should I do?
