Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Chapter 2, ask for a recommendation ticket!

Wu Xie didn't answer first, but changed his voice: "Cousin, do you have someone you want to befriend."

Zhao Guangde was stunned for a moment: "If you have to say something, Han Huzi is counted as one, Dr. Tongjiao is counted as one, and Zhang Zi who is in Lu is counted as one."

"It's a coincidence. Looking at the world, there are three people I want to make friends with."

"I don't know which three are worthy of your cousin's friendship?"

Wuxi said: "The first is the old Dan who used to manage Chengzhou's Tibetan chamber. This person cultivates morality, and his learning is to hide his nameless task. The dragon sees the head but does not see the tail. I really want to discuss Taoism with him. Listen to him talk about the avenues of heaven and earth."

"The second is Xin Wenzi, a hermit from the Song State, also known as Ji Ran. This man is as wise as ignorance. There is a fate, but maybe it's my virtue, he refuses to reveal his identity and join me, it's a pity, and I don't know if we can meet again."

"The third is that Ye Gongzi Gao Gao, who guarded Wan and Ye for the King of Chu (all the monarchs of Chu State are called Gong), his name is Shen Zhuliang, the son of Sima Shen Yinxu, who died in battle, he is young and promising. Controlling water and opening fields, cultivating military equipment, he is quite good at governance. In time, when Chu makes Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi retire, he may be another Ling Yin comparable to Ziwen and Sun Shuao!"

Zhao Guangde said: "These three are indeed great talents, but the first two seem to be missing. The elder brother can be approached now, I am afraid that only Duke Ye of Chu State."

"Of course, I have paid a lot of attention to this Lord Ye, so I know that although he has a lot of political achievements and is famous in Chu, he has always had three thorns in his heart.

"I don't know what the three pains are?"

"One is that his father, Shen Yinxu, tried to stop the Wu army from entering Ying. He died in Yongyu in battle, and his head was separated when he died, so Ye Gong and Wu people had the revenge of killing their father. The second was when Wu Master entered Ying. Liu Gongdan of the Zhou family. The public sent assassins to assassinate Prince Chao, who was hiding in Wandi. For Ye Gongzi Gao, who was stationed in Wandi, this was a great shame. Third, seven years ago, when Zheng Guoyou was riding the collapse of Chu State, Ye Gong went to When King Qin expelled the Wu army, he actually commanded 5,000 soldiers to attack 500 li by surprise, destroying Xu Guo, the princes of Chu in the side of Fangcheng, which is equivalent to a slap in the face of Ye Gong..."

Zhao Wuxi got up and picked up a stone, and bent down slightly. Throwing it into the big river, after a few water floats, the ripples gradually spread to both sides.

"So what do you think, if Duke Ye hears that the people of Zheng Guo are going to look for trouble in the area where he is stationed again, what will he do?"

"Eat a cut, grow a wisdom, Ye Gong will definitely remember the destruction of Xu State, and he is like a great enemy to Zheng State, and he will obstruct it." Zhao Guangde suddenly realized: "Could it be that my cousin wants Zigong to go to the place where the mission is. Chu country?"

"That's right. Zigong will send gifts and greetings to Lord Ye for me, and also give him a message."

Zhao Wuxi showed a smile: "Zigong will tell Ye Gong, the people of Zheng country. They are going to plot against the barbarians!"

...

"Cousin's plan to cut down the friendship is really unexpected. Qin's power has not passed the letter, and the only one that can stop Zheng's westward advance is indeed Chu, which is located in the south of the Man clan..."

Zhao Guangde thought for a while and felt that this strategy was feasible, but asked again: "But Chu is a big country in the south. Once they intervene, will the people of Zheng who are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard retreat in spite of difficulties?"

Wu Xie said: "No. I look at the government of Chu State, and now the main energy is on recuperation. At the same time, it competes with Wu State for Chen State. Moreover, within the northeastern border of Chu State, Dun State, Hu State, and Cai State are not satisfied. King of Chu. Taking advantage of the decline of Chu State and wantonly annexing the surrounding Chu towns, Wu people may be brought into Chu at any time. This is the confidant's trouble that Chu State urgently needs to solve."

"The State of Chu ordered Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi to be mature and stable people. Before restoring the northeastern border and rebuilding a defense line against Wu, the State of Chu and State of Zheng will not fight for the taste of the Man clan. This point, Zigong also explained that when he encouraged the people of Zheng country, it was enough to make the people of Zheng become wicked. I expected that the young and vigorous Ye Gongzi Gao Hui Fawan and the **** of Ye Fangcheng entered the Man clan to obstruct the Zheng people. Even if they are evenly matched, I hope that the people of Zheng State will show the courage of destroying Xu to forcefully take over the Man clan, and then have a few border conflicts with the State of Chu, and it will be better..."

Zhao Guangde's eyes lit up: "If Zhengren clashes with Ye Gong in the south, the confrontation between the two will further slow down their speed of turning around... Brilliant, really brilliant!"

Wu Xie got up: "At this point, the chess on the southern line is ready, let Ye Gong and Zheng people entangle, we will rest our troops this winter, and complete the strategic turn at the same time!"

...

During the winter solstice, a light snow fell in the north, and the two sides of the river were covered with snow marks. The wilderness at night was cold and terrifying. The ministers of various countries stopped the war one after another, and let the soldiers return to the city camps to rest. The people who were suffering from the war also got a chance to breathe.

Compared with the snow scene that begins to melt as soon as the sun rises outside, the white velvet in the Zhao Palace in Wenxian County will last longer. Zhao Bolu's mourning period is still going on, and it is said that it will hang for three months.

However, compared to the dead, everyone was more concerned about the safety of the living and the condition of the lord Zhao Yang.

Zhao Wuxi went to the inner bed to visit his father as usual. When he arrived at the door, he happened to encounter a group of vertical people and concubines carefully passing through the hall, gasping for breath. Under the command of Doctor Bian Que, they bathed Zhao Yang every day and wrapped his swollen joints due to wind disease with sackcloth soaked in soothing medicinal liquid.

Of course, they didn't dare to reveal a single word to the outside world. Ji Ying, the master and daughter in charge, seemed to be gentle, but in fact, the emperor was extremely strict, and everyone did not dare to be slighted in the slightest.

Passing among the heads of people who were bowing down and worshiping, he entered the warm bed with charcoal fire without a shirt. With the help of his new concubine, Zhao Yang put on a spacious dark coat and sat on the couch. Legs with gout were under the bedding, with hands resting on the desk, reading the dossier without shirts with candles and candles.

Zhao Qing has never succumbed to the disease. In the past few months, he has endured all kinds of pain without complaint, and his words have become less and less. But it doesn't hurt, because silence is the friend of the monarch. The less you say, the more frightening you are. Who knows when this sick tiger will be able to roar Nanshan again?

After receiving medical treatment by Bian Que, he is much better than a few days ago. At least he was out of danger. If it wasn't for the blow of Berlu's death, he might be able to regain his strength now.

Hear the sound. Zhao Yang raised his head alertly, facing his son. Wu Xie saw that there were deep bags under his eyes... Zhao Wu Xie had no way of knowing whether his insomnia was due to the grief of losing his child or because of gout.

"Is there a shirtless?"

Zhao Yang's expression softened, and he waved his concubine Jinjuan to step down. She gave birth to a young daughter, Zhao Jia, last year. If nothing else, this is probably Zhao Yang's last child...

Zhao Wuxi didn't squint, and after bowing, he got close to his father and straightened the bed for him. He smiled and said, "Father's complexion is much better than yesterday, and he is not far from recovery."

"Drag this wrecked body, do my best, and settle for destiny. Sometimes I really envy the younger generation like you, who have a tough body." Zhao Yang sighed and started talking about business.

"I called you here today, but I have something to ask your opinion."

"I don't know what's going on?" Zhao Wuxi glanced at the file on the case. It was the process of Zigong talking about Zheng. These things could distract Zhao Yang.

"As a father these few days, I also want to understand. The deceased is long, the living is like a man, and the war has reached the level of endless death. Bolu's revenge will be avenged, and Zhi and Zhonghang will perish, so the relationship with Han's becomes crucial.”

Zhao Wuxi realized that there was something in Zhao Yang's words, "What does the father want the boy to do?"

Zhao Yang stared at him, coughed lightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Zhao Han's marriage can't end here, I want you to pick up the in-laws of both parties and report the affairs of your sister-in-law."

...

In ancient times, the relationship between the monarchs and ministers in China was simple. The political affairs of a country are actually the patriarchal continuation of a family. So fathers and brothers died, and the living children often took their wives. This is to maintain the power of the clan to the greatest extent and protect the property of the clan.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, this primitive marriage custom still continued in the various summers, and it was called "Zhengmu Baosao". The most famous incident of "Zhengmu" is that the Duke of Wei was stubbornly forced by Duke Xiang of Qi to marry his own wife. The stepmother beauty Xuan Jiang, the more famous "reporting sister-in-law" incident, is when Duke Hui of Jin married Jia Jun, the wife of his elder brother Shen Sheng.

But as a person who has been influenced by the morality of later generations, this is something that Zhao Wuxi cannot accept at all!

So he hurriedly refused: "This matter is absolutely unacceptable, Jinhui Announcement to Jia Jun, the world is against it, not to mention my brother just passed away, I forced his wife, it is not benevolent, and under the turbulent public opinion, how should I behave without mercy? where?"

After all, this is an ancient custom. Although it still exists, it is no longer widely accepted. After Jin Huigong did this, even his soft-hearted sister Qin Mugong was so angry that he ignored him. Zhao Wuxi didn’t want it. The elder sister also treated herself coldly because of this.

"But you are the eldest son of the Zhao family and the younger brother of Bo Lu. At this time, you need to stand up, re-establish the marriage relationship with the Han family, and maintain the goodwill between the two families, so that the Han family can still stand by Zhao even when the war is unfavorable. On this side of the family... not to mention that Han Ji is young, I can't bear to watch her be a widow, leaving A Zhou helpless."

When persuading the younger son to accept the eldest son's wife, Zhao Yang only felt that his face was burning, and every sentence was awkward. It's just that in the concept of their generation, marriage is an important way to maintain the relationship between the two families, and Zhao Han has no suitable candidates, so Zhao Wuxi and Han Ji can only make do.

"The boy already has a master in the main room, how can I recruit Han Ji again?"

"You can be a side room. As a father, you have the young master of the Han family first, and then only the second concubine Wei and Zhi will be the side room. When Han Ji remarries and is below the spiritual son, there should be no objection." In Zhao In Martin's view, although everyone is not willing to accept this matter, they can only do it with their noses pinched.

Zhao Wuxi still felt awkward and shook his head again and again.

A marriage without love~www.wuxiahere.com~ is actually just a dazzling brocade quilt, folded and placed on the bed for others to see. He managed to hit the big luck, met the woman he liked in the political marriage of Zhao and Le, and now he comes again? With Zhao Wuxi's current status, he no longer has to force himself to be submissive.

What's more, if Han Ji is as reasonable as her brother Han Hu, Zhao Wuxi can still think about it, but if this woman has a bad temperament, if she is married, his harem will not want to live in peace! With the growth of age, Wu Tie now cares more about the friendship of childhood sweethearts, as well as the temperament and morality of the person beside him, rather than coveting his appearance.

Therefore, he bowed his head and said, "Father, forcing the boy to accept Han Ji, in the end, I am afraid that not only will the good relationship between the two families not be able to continue, maybe there will be new troubles."

That's not okay, that's not right. Zhao Yang got angry and took a few minutes directly. "Then what do you say? How to make Han's heart unite? Reassure Han Ji? Let Zhao Zhou, who has no father, rely on him?"

Wu Xie said sternly: "Father, let's listen to Wu Xie's words, it is no longer an era when a simple marriage between a man and a woman can consolidate the relationship between the two families. This world has long since changed with the vast world and people's hearts are gone!"
