In the partial hall of the Zhao Palace in Handan, in the drum music and sheng songs, Yanbei decided to personally banquet and receive the taxi from afar, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Shi Xie sent his eldest son to come to Zhao State from thousands of miles away, and whatever he wanted, the efforts they made were enough to shock Yan Bei.

I don't know how many people in the world paid tribute to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, from the East China Sea in the east to the Western Regions in the west, but no one has ever walked so difficult and dangerous like the team sent by Shi Xie, not to mention that no one has prepared such a huge amount of gifts when giving tribute like Shi Xie.

Thousands of fine kudzu, hundreds of good southern horses, and those southwestern curiosities that are sorted into categories. To tell the truth, when Shi Diao came, he brought a huge team of thousands of attachés, and when he arrived in Handan in a short time, it took only three or four days, and after the payment of tribute, he became Shi Diao and seven or eight attachés, and he didn't even have horses...... Every horse and carriage is a gift from them to Yanbei.

The quantity is generous and the budget is calculated.

What surprised Yanbei the most was that he heard people talk about Shidian's style in Handan. Even if Shi Diao came to Zhao Capital as an envoy from Jiaozhou, he was only the son of Taishou because of reason, and it was impossible for Yanbei to receive him on the day of his arrival, not to mention that Yanbei also wanted to secretly observe his actions, and observe from his body what kind of mentality those people in Jiaozhou have for the current Zhao State.

It can be called a huge amount of gifts, but after all, they are just foreign objects, even if there are some things that even Yan Bei has never seen, but he doesn't care about these...... What he cares about is Jiaozhou's respect for him.

Although it is separated by Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Cao Cao, it doesn't seem to matter much whether this respect exists or not.

But if there is, Yanbei will feel more happy than if he gets a gift.

I heard that Shi Xie's family has incomparable prestige in Jiaozhou, and their children are followed by soldiers and chariots when they go in and out. The hundreds of southwestern horses that accompanied him were all dedicated to Yanbei, and he didn't even leave a single one to travel; Originally, after handing over the tribute to the local Honglu Temple in Handan, the military Sima from Jiaozhou asked for the return of the Jianmu to Sizhou and led the troops away, leaving only two accompanying strong men to the soldiers, without bows and crossbows, without armor, only wearing the Gebu linen clothes often worn in Jiaozhou with his arms exposed, and a two-foot short knife across his waist.

When he first arrived in Handan, it was obviously very novel for the scholars, but the etiquette was thoughtful, he first asked the Zhao palace for instructions to meet Yanbei, and then handed the famous thorn to the home of officials at all levels in Handan City and the thin gift to deal with the official position, and on the back of the famous thorn explained that he came from the western border soil, and there would be a lot of disturbance in the future. But he was not in a hurry to meet with these Handan officials, and everything had to wait for King Zhao to summon him before visiting in turn.

If this is the son of Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others, people may be jealous. But the children of the Jiaozhou Shi family forget it...... There is nothing to be afraid of, people only see one thing from Shi Di's words and deeds, that is, Handan City has another proton.

The biggest tribute gift from the Jiaozhou Shijia to Yan Zhao was not those foreign objects, but Shixie's eldest son, Shixiao himself, who did not return to Jiaozhou.

Shi Diao is a middle-aged man, he is forty years old this year, and when he first saw Shi Diao Yanbei, he was surprised by his age, and even more surprised by the age of his father Shi Xie. When I asked, I found out that Shi Xie had been a Taishou in Jiaozhi for more than ten years.

"Back to His Royal Highness King Zhao, in the past the ancestors of the Lu country, in the new Mang to escape the war into Jiaozhou, has been seven generations. When my father was young, he tried to study in the Central Plains, and followed Mr. Liu Ziqi of Yingchuan to study "Spring and Autumn", and he was a family heirloom with "Spring and Autumn" and "Shangshu" in the clan. Because I heard that the scholars who went to Jiaozhou to take refuge in the Central Plains said that in the past, Jingzhong was arguing because of the ancient Wenjing school and the modern Wenjing school, and they thought it was an endless debate. ”

Yan Bei was greatly surprised when he heard this, and praised: "Nowadays, most of the Taishou and Zhou Mu are staring at their own one-third of an acre to attack each other, and there are few officials like Shi Xie who have the spare time to compile books. This is a very good thing, the lonely will hand over the essence of Shifujun's scriptures to Taixue, rub it into a book, and let Shifujun's scriptures and teachings be a child, how can this not be a great achievement? ”

When Shi Diao heard this, he listened to Yan Bei and asked: "I heard that Jiaozhou has not been peaceful in recent years, and Zhu Fu died in rebellion; Assassin Shi Zhang Jin was killed by his generals, what happened? ”

Shi Diao's heart sank, Yanbei obviously didn't know about Jiaozhou, and now he asked, it was because he thought that the death of the two assassins might be related to the Shi family, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, and the central government has been strict with Jiaozhou over the years, so the people's morale has weakened, Zhu Zhijun was not bad when he was in office, but the Jiaozhou chaos also started with him." ”

Yan Bei lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Zhu Fujun's father is Taiwei Zhu Gongwei (Zhu Jun), in the past the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Jiaozhou was not affected because of its remoteness. Zhu Zhijun's brother Zhu Hao was the Taishou of Yuzhang at the time, and died at the hands of Danyang people, Zhu Fujun Xingbing took revenge and sent soldiers and horses from all counties to Jiaozhou, and was killed by his subordinates in rebellion on the way. The state is empty of troops, and it is not enough to suppress the locality. At that time, in addition to my father's Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen, Hepu, Nanhai and other counties of Taishou and some county officials were also killed in this riot, and the state was chaotic. ”

Shi Diao said carefully, in fact, he also said one thing, that is, Zhu Fu's death was to blame, if it wasn't for him to Jiaozhou, there would be no chaos, Jiaozhou would not be chaotic, and the Shi family would not be able to take over the state and county. Seeing that Yanbei did not interrupt, Shi Diao then bowed his hand and said: "Until Zhang Zhijun took office, our state and Cao Yanzhou are good, and Liu Jingzhou is evil, the two sides have been at war for several years, and the strength of Jingzhou is like fireflies and Haoyue, Zhang Zhijun is still happy to do this, and the generals are therefore detached from morality, Zhang Zhijun believes in Taoism, ties a cloth with a red scarf on his head, and burns incense every day to worship and claim that this can make his soldiers invincible in battle, and relax the operation of armor and rations, and finally suffer from the district scenery. A few years ago, my father had submitted a letter to the imperial court, hoping to change the governor to the state pastor, I don't know if the king still remembers this? ”

Yan Bei smiled, of course he remembered that the letter was refuted by him personally. He was very wary, not to mention that Zhang Jin, the assassin at that time, was friendly with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others, how could he allow him to be a state pastor.

Speaking of which, Yan Bei basically understood that this Zhang Jin was also a character who deserved to die.

At this moment, Shi Diao gave up his hand again and said to Yanbei: "At the beginning of the next journey, Zhang made Jun Fang die at the hands of Ou Jing, I heard that Liu Jingzhou wanted to take Lai Gong as the pastor of Jiaozhou, what did the king think about this matter?" ”
