Han Hu's sister Han Ji married the eldest son of the Zhao family Bolu the year before last, Han Hu knew her temperament, this eldest daughter of the Han family was above the top, and her pride was extreme, and the humble virtue of the Han family did not seem to have reached her.

Non-princes and princes do not marry, non-eldest sons do not marry, and non-suzerains do not marry! This is the famous "three non-marriages" when Han Ji was still a daughter.

Although Zhao Bolu is the nephew of the Han family, Han Ji has always been lukewarm to him, and finally agreed to marry because of the order of the clan, which is still for the sake of Bolu being the eldest son of the Zhao family and the future head of the family.

However, at that time, Zhao Wuxian was still a cheap concubine, his reputation was not obvious, and the Zhao family did not have too much risk of taking the heir. When Zhao Wuxian was expelled from the country, the Jin people also thought that the son of the Zhao family would definitely fall on the head of Bolu now, so they let them get married......

But now, although Zhao Wuxian is not in the Jin Kingdom, he shines all the time and makes his peers in the Jin Kingdom unable to open their eyes. On the other hand, Bolu, what was it like three years ago, and what it is still like now, at most, he can stay in the lower palace and receive people and things, Zhao Ying doesn't even worry about handing over Jinyang to him.

"I can't care so much...... Han Buxin has always loved his granddaughter, but this time he kept a straight face and didn't care about it.

"I want to go back now, but I did it wrong three years ago, who is the head of the Zhao family, and what does it matter if the head of the family is the son, niece and son-in-law of the Han family? In the Jin Kingdom, in-laws have never been the most reliable, Fan and Luan are close enough, right? The Fan clan was able to ruthlessly destroy the entire Luan Ying clan. Fortunately, you are usually kind and kind, and you know how to forbear, much better than your father, you once sold a favor to Zhao Wuxian, if the monarch sends someone to ask Song and Lu, you will take the initiative to ask for orders, and it is time for you to go abroad to experience experience. ”

Han Buxin was not bad, the war ended on the Song side, but there was chaos on the Lu side.

The envoys who had come to give the news arrived in Wenxian in mid-October. Just in time for Zhao Ying, who was supervising the Handan clan's guards. Zhao Ying didn't bring many people, otherwise he would have gone to Lu State, and he notified Xintian of the matter, which immediately caused an uproar in the court.

The letter was written by Zhao Wuxian's adviser Meng Tan, and in the letter, Zhang Mengtan was alarmist. It is claimed that Sanhuan colluded with Qi and Weiguo, and wanted to launch a coup d'état to get rid of Zhao's stronghold in Lu, and the ultimate goal was to betray Jin!

"If Lu is here, then the small country of Huaisi will be handsome, and if Lu is rebellious...... The Jin Kingdom looks at the world, and there is no one more ally! "The Marquis of Jin was in a hurry, summoned the six ministers to discuss whether to send troops to the Lu State. Or do something about it?

Zhisong used the excuse that it was difficult to move troops in winter, and the Fan family and the Zhongxing clan used the excuse to beware of the unruly Xianyu sneak attack, and the Wei family supported Zhao Ying spiritually, but he didn't want to support him personally.

In the end, Han Hu stepped out and asked for an order to go to Lu to find out.

He said: "Not only the Jin State, Qi and Zheng are also not easy to send troops in winter, and the rebellion of the Lu State may not be decided until next year, so it is better to send someone to ask and observe first." After that, we will decide. ”

Han has always played the role of a good man in the court, and Han Hu is handsome. Xintian is well known in the city, and it is only fitting for him to be the messenger of the hired question. Marquis Yunzhi of Jin appointed him as a small pedestrian, got a doctor, and went to Lu to have a look.

This was the trip between Han Hu and Duan Gui to Qufu, but what I didn't expect was. By the time they arrived in Lu, the civil war had already been quelled by Zhao Wuxian with an iron fist. Although the Meng clan rushed north to Feiyi, and only a few cronies were left around the traitor Gongshan Bufu who fled back to Feiyi, the situation was generally settled.

Lu Guo has been pinched in Zhao Wuxian's palm.

On the banks of the Jishui River. Hearing from the locals that Zhao Wuxian scared the 30,000 army of Sanhuan here with thousands of people across the bank a month ago, Duan Gui, who has always been bold and careful, couldn't help but be speechless, and asked Han Hu curiously: "Gentleman, what kind of character is Zhao Zitai?" “

……

Looking at the West Gate Tower of Qufu, Han Hu smiled helplessly.

"Ziju, do you want to know what kind of person Zhao Wuxian is?"

"Only ...... Whether it is friend or foe, you must first understand him. ”

Duan Gui is ugly and short, even if he is full of scheming in this era of looking at faces, he is often looked down upon, and there are not a few people who call him "advocate Youer" in person. He and the handsome and tall Han Hu stood together in the sky and in the ground, but Han Hu never despised him, and respected him like a guest, so Duan Gui also regarded him as the main monarch, and wanted to assist the Han family's grandson to do a great career.

Among them, Zhao Wuxian is a potential opponent that he attaches the most importance to, second only to Zhiyao, who makes the younger generation of the Jin Kingdom talk about it.

Han Hu thought for a while and said: "I don't like to be lively, so I don't have a deep relationship with him, he is just a middle-aged person, but he is very good at learning." He doesn't do a good job in many subtleties, but he has a long-term vision. He made many enemies, but he was a man who became more and more courageous in the face of adversity. ”

"Let's put it this way, three years ago, in terms of status, he was a favored concubine, I am the grandson of the Han family, at first there was little difference, but later after he was expelled from the country, he lost everything, and he was not as good as me. In terms of the power in hand, at that time, I was stationed in the state for my grandfather, in charge of ten thousand households, and I was able to transfer a division of people, but he only had some tired soldiers left to come from Taihang Mountain, and he had to borrow troops and crossbows from me, and he was far inferior to me. ”

"But now?" Han Hu looked at the gloomy canopy in the sky, knowing that Zhao was here on the first day of the month, and the stars were dim and dull.

He smiled bitterly: "I was late in the crown, and I didn't become a small pedestrian until recently, a doctor, and this position was the one he sat in three years ago." But how about three years behind him? He helped his in-laws sit in the position of ruling the Song State, and now he also controls half of the Lu State, and his strength is directly catching up with the Han family, compared to him, I have really wasted the past three years......"

"A gentleman must not be presumptuous!" Duan Gui saw that his lord was a little discouraged under the pressure of Zhao Wuxian's achievements, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Throughout the ages, there have been countless late bloomers!" The ancestor of Jun Wengong and Jun Zhi's grandfather Han Xianzi all came to prominence when they were over forty years old, and the gentleman was only twenty years old, and his future was limitless, and he would not be inferior to Zhao Wuxian! ”

Han Hu smiled, pointed to the gatehouse in front of him and said: "Thank you Ziju, the front is Qufu, the Xingfu of Lu Guo said that Zitai will meet him outside the city gate, what kind of person is he, let you and I wait and see!" ”

After being encouraged by Duan Gui, Han Hu let go of his self-esteem, and he was also curious about what Zhao Wuxian looked like after not seeing him for three years.

……

"Knock knock!"

"Woooooooooooo

A complete set of liturgical music teams gathered at the West Gate, with pheasant tails on their heads and sheng flutes in their hands. Dancing to the music of bells and drums, this is a dance to welcome the envoys of the kingdom.

"Looking forward to Huaiyi, come to offer Qichen: Yuan turtle ivory, bribe Nanjin!"

In a song of Lu Song, Zhao Wuxian and Han Hu saw each other from afar.

In Zhao Wuxian's eyes, Han Hu has not changed much in the past three years. Because he didn't have a beard, he said that he was incredibly handsome when he heard it, so that the female relatives in the family would be ashamed of themselves when they saw it. To put it mildly, it is still so girly, wearing a woman's deep clothes, the lustful Lu nobles are afraid that they will rush to ask for marriage......

Zhao Wuxian in Han Hu's eyes is very different, he has a little beard, compared with the sleepy young man who failed in the mission three years ago, Zhao Wuxian's body is full of confidence, and his momentum of not being angry and self-righteous is very similar to Zhao Ying. No wonder everyone is saying that tiger fathers have no dogs. There was a large circle around him, either revering him, or fearing and cowardly his entourage, and it could be seen that most of the Lu country had obeyed him.

There is a set of etiquette regulations for scholars to meet, doctors to meet, secretaries to meet, and princes to meet. So the two of them have to follow the rules.

Han Hu inquired before that Zhao Wuxian's position was a doctor. Therefore, Han Hu held a lamb as a greeting gift, decorated it with a cloth sewn garment, tied the front and hind feet of the lamb with a rope, handed it over from its back from the abdomen, and tied a rope on its chest. He held the front and back feet of the lamb in both hands like a fawn. Holding the lamb horizontally, the sheep's head facing to the left, walked towards Zhao Wuxian.

But to his surprise, Zhao Wuxian was also holding a lamb.

According to the rules, Han Hu is a doctor. Zhao Wuxian could use geese as a gift, but he obviously raised the level of the gift, and Han Hu didn't know if this was a gesture of goodwill.

Han Hu was still humble, but Zhao Wuxian's words made him unable to excuse himself: "Doctor under Jin, when Doctor Lu Shang, I will have to rely on Shangguo more in the future, Ziyin is actually at the same level as me, you and I are old friends of Pan Palace, don't be too polite." ”

Han Hu could only take it and hand it to Duan Gui, which was not enough, in addition to the symbolic lamb and goose, there had to be other gifts.

The Han family has always been courteous, so he will not give forty poplar shields like Le Qi did when he met Zhao Ying, and he asked Duan Gui to give Zhao Wuxian a cart of bamboo slips prepared earlier.

The bamboo slips have been written, and there are scratches in many places, not new, Zhao Wuxian is surprised: "These are ......"

Bamboo slips are already outdated in the country of Lu, especially in Xilu and Qufu, perhaps it is the tradition of good gifts and good literature, or it is the trend caused by Confucius Shaozhengmao's private school, and the literacy rate of Lu is higher than that of other countries, which is a surprise. As a result, mature paper, which was already able to write, gradually became popular among the upper class of scholars, but the business of the workshops that made bamboo slips was declining.

What is Han Hu going to do when he sends these things now?

Han Hu explained: "This is the history of the Lu State left by Lu Zhaogong when he went to Jin, and now it is appropriate that the things are returned to their original owners." ”

Zhao Wuxian thought for a moment, and suddenly understood what Han Hu meant, and said happily: "Thank you Ziyin, the return of the relics of the ancestor is a happy event, I will accept it for the widow for the time being." Two or three sons! Quickly transport it to the storage room, and then inform the scholars and the people of the country about this in the Milli Society! ”

He couldn't help but look at this grandson of the Han family differently, although this person is not famous for government affairs and military affairs, he is very good in receiving people and things!

Han Hu chose this gift after thinking about it carefully, Sanhuan defeated Lu Zhaogong, and Zhao Wuxian defeated Sanhuan, if the former is not in accordance with the etiquette law, then the latter's incompatibility is nothing...... If some kind of connection can be established between Lu Zhaogong and Zhao Wuxian, it will be even more able to help him establish his legitimacy in the Lu State.

In fact, Zhao Wuxian was already doing it, and the first thing he did after he became the owner of Qufu was to send people to protect the temples of Duke Zhou, Bo Yu, and Duke Xu, but he hadn't thought of Zhao Gong yet.

Wuxian already felt that Han's was different from him this time, and since the other party showed goodwill, he had to repay the favor.

The strength of the Han clan is at the bottom of the Liuqing, but it is also equivalent to half of the Lu country, if this Zhao ally can be fastened, it will be very beneficial to the war that will come soon.

He sighed: "Jin Lu is a state of brothers, and Zhao Han is also a family of brothers, and they have always been sympathetic to danger. Three years ago, I passed through the state and county, and borrowed 200 crossbows from Ziyin, I am not a person who has borrowed but not repaid, and now three years have passed, and the interest will be repaid today! ”

Zhao Wuxian clapped his hands and asked the two thousand people who came out to greet him to offer their gifts.

In Han Hu's imagination, Zhao Wuxian should have sent Lu Guo's specialties, Zhen porcelain, paper, Lu Min and the like.

The result was indeed a specialty, but it was completely different from what he had imagined!

The soldiers who had rested in Qufu for a month returned to their previous neatness, their military appearance was radiant, all of them were carrying lacquered bows, and they stepped forward in unison under the orders of the military officials, untied the bow in their hands, knelt down on one knee, and presented it to Zhao Wuxian and Han Hu.

Han Hu was a little confused, what does this mean?

Compassionless and emotional, to the people around: "Poetry, cast it with papaya, repay it with Qiong Yao, repay it, and always think it is good!" Two hundred crossbows are papayas, and these two thousand bows are Qiong Yao, and I hope Ziyin will accept them! May Jin Lu and Zhao Hanyong think it is good! (To be continued.) )
