Chapter 12: Humiliating Suja

Zhang Lu said: "Why do you serve Wei? ”

Huang Xie said: "Why do you need Wei to obey, but let the princes know it!" ”

Zhang Lu thought for a while and said, "Teach us!" ”

After Zhang Lu was made a marquis, he should build a mansion in Xianyang City. Construction of this mansion has already begun, and the site is located on the former Huyang mansion.

After Hu Yang's death, his wife and children could not bear the living expenses in Xianyang City, so he dismissed his young concubines and moved to live in Huyang's share of fields. recruited a son-in-law to cultivate the land. Fortunately, most of Huyang's fields are ripe fields, which are cultivated by some people, pay rent every year, and life can continue. Zhang Lu, who had already been named the prime minister of Qin and the marquis, saw that Hu Yang's family was living a difficult life, so he proposed to the king of Qin to spend part of the money for building a mansion for himself to compensate Mrs. Hu Yang, and to bring down the mansion and expand it into his own mansion. Now the mansion is being expanded, and Zhang Lu still lives in Zheng Anping's mansion in the abandoned hill outside the city.

Unlike Zhang Lu's industry, Zheng Anping is more concerned about making a fortune. Now his mansion has been expanded according to the standard of the doctor, and the land is also complete according to the standard of the doctor, and the recruited camp is cultivated on the field. The nameless Mang Wei and Chen Si have already separated from each other. They all want ripe fields, only eat taxes, do not participate in labor, and do not have Hu Qin's camp. Compared with Zheng Anping, the style is much worse! However, after marrying a wife and asking for slaves from the government, life is not bad.

Zhang Lu came out of the Prince of Chu and drove back to Zheng Anping's house with Zheng Anping. On the way, Zhang Lu told Zheng Anping his thoughts; After arriving home, he asked Chen Si and Mang Wei to come over, discussed it carefully, and everyone prepared separately.

After the next day, after Zheng Anping drove Zhang Lu home, he arranged it with Chen Si and Mang Wei. Zhang Lu changed back into the silk robe given by Su Jia yesterday, re-ended the hair crown, and drove back to Xianyang. When he came to the inn where Sujia lived, he asked the postman to see Dr. Sujia. The postman didn't recognize it as Xiangguo, but only knew that it was an old friend of Dr. Sujia, who came to visit yesterday. Inform Dr. Suja. Dr. Suja greeted him. Zhang Lu said: "The master of the minister's report has to pass through Xiangjun, and now he has a car and horse, which is to meet the ear!" ”

Su Jia complained: "Why didn't Uncle Fan say it earlier. It's rude today, why do you enter the Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

Zhang Lu said: "There is no need to do it. Doctor, but he can also go. ”

Although Xu Jia was surprised, he didn't dare to say much, only explained a few words to his entourage, and got into the car with Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu drove straight to Zheng Anping's mansion in the waste hill. The carriage left the city and headed west along the avenue. In the years when Zhang Lu went to Hedong to build roads, the roads in the Guanzhong area were also repaired under the auspices of the Qin State, and the roads leading from Xianyang to various counties were the focus. Xu Jia stood in the car and didn't feel much bumps, so he complimented Zhang Lu: "Qin Dao is easy, and it should be strong." ”

Zhang Lu said: "Qin Dao is easy, so it is easy to govern. What the doctor saw! The danger of Wei Dao is also known to the ministers, and it is appropriate to treat it. ”

Su Jia knew that Zhang Lu was using the topic to vent his dissatisfaction, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only be silent. Changed the topic and said: "Qin Zhiye is neat and orderly, not as complicated as Wei Ye. ”

Zhang Lu still took advantage of the question and replied: "The order of Qin Ye is also in the straightness of governing the road. Thoughtful as a stone, its straight as an arrow. The same is true of Qin Dao. ”

The two engaged in a verbal exchange in the car. Xu Jia found that whenever he praised the Qin State and hoped to bring the atmosphere to a friendlier atmosphere, he would be transformed by Zhang Lu into a denigration of the Wei State; And he couldn't refute it, so he had to keep talking, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

The carriage drove for a while, and in front of it appeared a tall mansion, which stood out in the midst of a field and a farmstead. Zhang Lu pointed out: "He is the house of the prime minister. ”

When the carriage reached the front of the house, it did not stop, but drove directly into the side door and stopped in front of a stable. The two got out of the car, and Zhang Lu said: "The doctor will wait a while, and he will enter Xiangjun first for the doctor." "I walked through the side door.

Suja stayed by the foul-smelling stable, leading the cart, and waited respectfully, reminding himself that he must not show any impatience. But he stood until noon, and no one took care of him. The four horses were also a little impatient. The servants in the stables came and went, and no one looked at Su Jia or spoke to him.

Su Jia felt that this might be Zhang Lu's punishment for himself. If you don't want to find a way to get out of it, it's not impossible to be cold here all day! He gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, stopped a passing servant, and asked, "Uncle Fan doesn't come out, why not?" ”

The servant said, "Who is Uncle Fan?" “

Su Jia said: "The one who wants to carry me in." “

The servant said, "It's Zhang Xiangye." ”

Su Jia pretended to be shocked and said hurriedly: "I would like to see it, please guide it." “

The servant said, "The doctor is Zhang Xiang's entry." I wish to see, I can enter by myself, and there is no mediocrity. “

Su Jia said: "Definitely. When he was sinful, he did not dare to see it lightly. Let you be punished from your own door. As he spoke, he took off his shirt and bare his back; And he took off his crown and spread his hair. When the servant saw this, he had to run to find someone else, and whispered a few words, and the man came over and said, "Why is the doctor here?" “

Su Jia bowed to the ground and said: "Dare to ask the subordinates to open the door, and the guilty minister must apologize for the sin, and treat the sin under the steps!" “

After a while, Mang came to the courtyard and said, "Zhang Xiang is invited, the doctor will come to the court!" “

Su Jia took a look, where is there anyone he doesn't know, isn't this Mangwei, the third son of the Mangmao family! Immediately, it was dark in front of me, and I knew that this pool of water was unfathomable. He tried his best to keep calm, pretending to be confused, but he didn't know him, he didn't stand up, he used his knees and hands together, his head bowed, and crawled from the west courtyard to the front hall. Mang Wei reported upward: "Wei envoy Dr. Xu Jia, please see!" “

Su Jia didn't wait for Zhang Lu to speak, and Fu Baitong said: "The guilty minister is a capital crime, and he can't be punished!" I don't mean that you can be above the clouds, and the minister has the sin of the soup wok, please hold yourself in the land of the raccoon dog, only the king is dead and alive! ”

Zhang Lu did not let Xu Jia go to the hall, but walked out of the hall, came to the front of the steps, and asked, "How many sins do you have?" ”

Su Jia said: "The minister's hair is not as many as the sin!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Your sin has three ears. Sui's ancestors are buried in Wei, and the public thinks that Sui has an external heart in Qi, and evil Sui is in Wei Qi, which is one of the crimes. Wei Qi insulted me in the toilet, not only the public, but also the second crime. Even more drunk and drowning me, how can the public bear it? Three sins. There are these three sins, indulge in their flesh, but not enough to eliminate hatred, but so there is no deceased, to give a robe, still see the love of the old man. Su Jia paused.

Zhang Lu said: "I know that you will make it. Treat it well, I will play it to the king, and sooner or later there will be a teaching! After that, he didn't let Su Jia get up, and turned around and went back to the back house.

Su Jia was stunned. Mang Wei, who was standing next to him, said: "Doctor, please get up, Zhang Xiangqi is far away!" ”

Su Jia got up when he heard this, and Mang Wei replied: "Doctor, what does he know? ”

Su Jia sneered in his heart, I recognized you at first sight! But he still pretended to be confused, turned around and looked at each other, and exclaimed: "You are not the ...... of the Mang family" Mang did not interrupt his words, and said: "The minister is nameless, I see it under the door of the prince doctor Zheng Anping, and Zuo Zhang Xiangye." ”

Su Jia suddenly said: "Accept the doctor's grace!" Zheng Gongzi Anping, there are also old Yan, I would like to see it! ”

Mang Wei said: "Doctor Zheng saw that Zuo Zhang was in charge of the military, so he didn't see each other. ”

Su Jia made a very regretful look and said: "Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun but heard that Zheng Gongzi Qingyun Daotong, I don't mean that Uncle Fan is also ......."

Mang Wei interrupted: "Zhang Xiang, it's not Uncle Fan!" ”

Su Jia shook his hand again and again, and said, "Capital crime, capital crime! ”

Mang Wei led Su Jia out of the door, pointed to the big road in front of him and said, "Doctor, but follow this road for ten miles, that is, to Xianyang." ”

Su Jia thanked him again and again. Mangwei helped Su Jia get dressed, pulled his hair slightly, put on the crown, and touched the festival charm, but said goodbye to Mangwei and walked back to the pavilion. Along the way, Su Jia Lian called it a fluke, thanks to his eagerness, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster in such a crisis! Although after all these twists and turns, fortunately, the mission was basically completed, and the mission had actually been finalized with Zhang Lu two days ago, and the two countries re-established their alliance, and Wei did not make major losses. This made Suja very satisfied: although he suffered some personal humiliation, firstly, there was no danger, and secondly, the mission was completed.

The next day, a pedestrian finally appeared in the pavilion and read out the decree of King Qin: "Although Qin Wei is petty, he does not hide his great virtue." Wang Shen Alliance, the widow has relatives! "Sujia bowed and thanked again. Pedestrian: "Three days later, the banquet of the princes and envoys, may the Wei envoys go!" "Su Jia was overjoyed and responded again and again.

It was a grand day. Since the Prime Minister's Mansion had not yet been completed, the banquet was held in a side hall of Xianyang Palace. The banquet was hosted by Shaofu, prepared according to the specifications of Qiding, and the music band and singing and dancing were endless. The envoys of various countries in Qin, in addition to the crown prince and Zuotu of Chu, also the envoys of Qi, and the merchants of other vassal states in the name of envoys.

As soon as Suja entered the temple, he was treated with special treatment, and he was not invited into the temple by pedestrians, but by two prisoners! The two prisoners had obvious characteristics, their faces were burned, they were tall and strong, and they were holding Su Jia on their toes. Su Jia protested loudly, declaring that he was an envoy of Wei, and the two prisoners directly jammed him by the neck, causing him to breathe and almost suffocate to death. When his mind was close to going blank, he let go of his hand again, relieving him. Now Su Jia was honest and considered himself unlucky, otherwise he believed that those two people could really strangle him. For a moment, he completely lost confidence in himself: didn't King Qin allow an alliance? Didn't Qin Xiang Zhang Lu lose his temper and have nothing to do? For a moment, Su Jia no longer dared to trust his judgment, could it be that Qin wanted to repent? Or......

Two prisoners with words on their faces carried Sujia to the front of the steps of the temple, where there was even a seat. The prisoner threw Suja on the table, and he stood beside Suja, with a fierce and vicious look. Suja didn't dare to resist and sat down on the seat in pain. Envoys and merchants from all over the world came in one after another, and pedestrians led them to their tables. The nature was in the hall, and the merchants were also seated on the stairs, and only Suja was the only one at the bottom of the stairs.

The dancing girl next to her was dressed in a beautiful dress, and a light fragrance came. Su Jia didn't dare to watch, and sat with his head down. The other guests pointed at him, but he couldn't hear a word of what he said.
