Chapter Seventy-Four: Help the king take good care of her
After learning that Mi Yue and his party had arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou, Zhao Changqing, the king of Qi, sent people to inquire around, and finally a disciple of the Sword Pavilion reported their exact location.
It has passed Dongnae-gun and is heading in the direction of Bukhae-gun.
Zhao Changqing immediately made a decision, summoned Zhao Yun, and said: "Zilong, I heard that the princess of Chu and her party are about to arrive in Beihai County, what do you think of the fact that you will not marry me to the princess of Chu State?"
Zhao Yun is also angry these days.
His own master, Gongwen Taowu, is proficient in everything, and he also cares about the people of the world, he is definitely a masterpiece in the world, why is he not worthy of a princess of Chu State?
That's it, and he even made unashamed remarks to sarcastically mock His Royal Highness the King of Qi, which is unbearable, Zhao Yun said angrily: "I have eyes but no beads, I don't know Mount Tai!"
Just eight words are enough to express his anger.
Zhao Changqing could clearly feel his anger soaring.
It's good to have anger!
All I want is your anger!
Thinking of this, Zhao Changqing smiled.
However, he never thought that it was this laughing bad thing!
Zhao Yun thought to himself at this time: "What's the matter with His Royal Highness King Qi's weird smile? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qi is not angry?"
Calming down, he felt that His Royal Highness King Qi was not angry, because he had noticed the shouting in the palace the day before.
But why is it so calm now?
It's certainly not that simple.
Could it be that there is some conspiracy in this, which His Royal Highness the King of Qi has seen through?
You have to do it first.
After the alliance between Wei and Chu, why did they suddenly propose peace?
In the final analysis, the reason is that the Chu State failed to assassinate His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the Chu State is afraid that in this matter, it will affect the alliance with my Wei State. There is no doubt about that.
So why didn't he make peace with His Royal Highness King Qi, but instead indicated that he would not marry His Royal Highness King Qi?
After all, His Royal Highness King Qi is the real victim of this matter!
Could it be that he wants to deliberately make His Royal Highness the King of Qi angry and corrupt on the grounds of harmony, so as to provoke the stability of my Great Wei court?
After all, no matter who the princess of Chu marries, His Royal Highness the King of Qi will be unhappy in her heart, and even turn her face with the person she married.
In this way, it is definitely not conducive to the stability of the court!
Hey, when you think about it like this, the consequences are unimaginable!
After all, a spark can start a prairie fire, and if a seed of hatred is planted in the heart of His Royal Highness King Qi, it will not be a good thing for the Wei State, which is in a hurry to change the law and become a strong country!
What a Chu State, this move is really wonderful! It almost hit their way! It really has sinister intentions!
His Royal Highness King Qi, who fortunately regained his composure, became so indifferent after figuring out the other party's intentions in time, right?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun also smiled slightly.
But Zhao Changqing didn't pay attention to his smile, he stood upright, put his hands behind his back, and said unusually flatly: "I order you to dispatch 10,000 Qingzhou iron horsemen to help this king take care of the princess of Chu who doesn't know the height of the sky!"
Zhao Changqing felt that using an extremely flat voice could better reflect his ruthlessness.
Here, the care in his sentence refers to teaching the princess of Chu a lesson.
As for how to teach, he didn't bother to care.
However, Zhao Yunwu was wrong!
He called His Royal Highness King Qi wise in his heart, "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! His Royal Highness King Qi is really wise! This move is to retreat into advance, which not only dispells the conspiracy of the Chu State, but also shows the mind of His Royal Highness the King of Qi.
It's just that in this way, he has wronged His Royal Highness the King of Qi! His Royal Highness the King of Qi is still the great prince who once devoted himself to serving the country and the people, and he has not changed!"
Zhao Yun felt in his heart that His Royal Highness King Qi wanted him to dispatch 10,000 elite soldiers to escort them all the way to Kyoto, and he really took good care of this group of envoys on the way.
He said in a deep voice: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Qi has decided, the last general will dispatch iron horsemen to take good care of them!"
Zhao Yun's tone was very deep, cold, and a little unwilling.
These are all because he feels a little sorry for Zhao Changqing, for the sake of his family and country, he actually made such a concession...
Zhao Changqing listened to it!
Listening to Zhao Yun's tone, he had the urge to find someone to fight.
Isn't this just a dry fight?
It's best to drive the Chu envoy team out of Qingzhou!
Let them go wherever they fall in love.
As long as it can fully reflect the evil intentions of this king, it will be fine.
In a sense, this king also represents the Wei State, right?
After all, they are all a prince.
"Okay! Go quickly, go back quickly!" Zhao Changqing was already about to wait for the consequences.
However, Zhao Yun thought too much!
Hurry up and go back quickly means that you can't let the envoys of Chu State delay the time to go to the capital?
Also, how many days have the envoys of the Chu State entered the territory of the Wei State!
Along the way, you can enjoy the mountains and rivers, and you are not in a hurry!
Could it be that they were waiting for the moment when Wei was in a hurry?
It's a shame that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has great wisdom, otherwise the envoys of the State of Chu and his party are afraid that they will make the State of Wei lose their lords!
Zhao Yun nodded to Zhao Changqing, then retreated with his fists clenched.
led 10,000 cavalry and hurried to the direction of Beihai County.
Half a day later.
Mi Yue and his party walked very slowly.
There was no intention of rushing to the capital of Wei as soon as possible.
The group passed by a village.
It's very desolate.
Only a few old people sat alone at the entrance of the village and chatted, and even some fields began to be deserted, looking extremely pitiful.
Mi Yue's sympathy rose, when she came to Qingzhou, she knew that this was Zhao Changqing's territory, but was this how he was in power?
In the whole of Qingzhou, there are many villages like this, right?
How did this Zhao Changqing manage things? What a good field, just like that! What about the young people in the village? Why are they all gone?
Could it be that he summoned them all away?
I used to read in the history books that some famous tyrants like to recruit people to build all kinds of pleasure places, could it be that these people were summoned by him?
That's too hateful, isn't it?!
The people have all been summoned and left, who will farm the fields, who will support these old people?
She ran to an old man, and several guards around her hurriedly followed, but the old man and the guards only heard her say: "Old man, there are some scattered pieces of silver here, you can take it and divide it, exchange some rice and noodles, and you can live for a while." ”
Her heart hurts, this is in the Chu State, such a thing will never happen!
This Zhao Changqing, as rumored, does not learn and only cares about pleasure, even if he is crowned king, it is extremely mediocre!
However, who knew that the old man actually blew his beard and glared at her, "Who wants your silver? Who do you look down on? Look at your dress, it's not me who is a citizen of Wei, right? Take your silver away, or don't blame the old man for turning his face!"
Mi Yue was stunned when she heard this.
Even the guards beside her were stunned.
What do you mean?
Look down on these silver taels? Think this little bit of scattered silver is too little? It's good to be able to give it to you, what kind of demon are you doing?!
This old man of Wei is too ignorant of lifting, right?
Mi Yue's temper came up on the spot, but she suppressed it very well, and she continued to pretend to be hippie and said with a smile: "Old man, don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intent, I just think that your fields look abandoned, and there are few young people in the village, so I feel a little sorry for you old people..."
The old man of Wei is estimated to have seen the world, he smiled, and said without humility or arrogance: "Look at your dress, you are not like the people of Wei, so this money is two, and the old decay cannot be collected, otherwise it will be a discredit to my Wei country."
And the old decay doesn't care about these scattered pieces of silver. The reason why there are no young people in this village is because they have all gone to the city to make money, and there have been a lot of businessmen in the city recently, and they are in urgent need of workers, and the prices are also very high, so the big guys don't want to farm anymore, they all want to go to the city.
No, our Beihai County is currently overcrowded, and it is said that in some time, the city will be expanded. And these fields of ours, in a few days, will be bought by some merchants, and the prices given are also very attractive, and we may not be able to get so much money if we plant fields for a lifetime.
So, the girl feels sorry for us old decay, where to start? Hehe, in fact, we can live such a good day today, all because of His Royal Highness King Qi!"
The other old men beside him were probably not as extensive as him, so they kept silent one by one.
When Mi Yue heard this, she frowned, and blurted out: "Zhao Changqing, King of Qi?"
She wondered very much, because he was not mistaken! What could he do with a gentleman?
The old man nodded and said, "Yes! If it weren't for King Qi taking the risk of raising commercial taxes and lowering people's taxes, how could we, the common people, have such a good life? All this is thanks to His Royal Highness King Qi's meritorious governance!"
And ah, girl, I don't complain about you when you first arrived, and the next time you talk about His Royal Highness King Qi, you can't call your name directly, this is a big disrespectful crime!
I, the people of Qingzhou, will not forgive you!"
Mi Yue was stunned when she heard this!
I don't know what to do!
What's going on?!
Why is Zhao Changqing so prestigious in Qingzhou?
Is he really doing the wise move of raising commercial taxes and lowering civil taxes?
Can he do this well?
Aren't you afraid of arousing business outrage?
She listened to the old man again: "When His Royal Highness King Qi first came to Qingzhou, Qingzhou was bitter, if it weren't for the people of Chu to invade our land, hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou would not have been displaced!"
But after His Royal Highness King Qi came down, everything changed. Send money and food, and give us free houses to build, to meet such a Ming Jun is a blessing that our Qingzhou people have cultivated for several generations!"
Mi Yue fell into deep self-doubt.
Slowly.
She stood firm.
I think this old man is pulling cowhides!
So she left the village in a rage.
