PS: Chapter 2, ask for recommendation votes!

Wuxian 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 anything, Han Huzi is counted as one, Doctor Tonglu is counted as one, and Zhang Zi, who is in Lu State, is also counted as one." ”

"What a coincidence, looking at the world, there are three people I want to travel."

"I wonder which three are worthy of a cousin?"

Wu Xian said: "First, it is the old man who used to manage the Tibetan room of Cheng Zhou, this person cultivates morality, and his learning is self-concealed and nameless, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, I really want to talk to him and listen to him talk about the avenue of heaven and earth." ”

"Second, it is the hermit Xin Wenzi of the Song Kingdom, also known as Ji Ran, this person is wise and foolish, knows how to fight, and knows things when he uses them, and he is a great talent who is not born in the world. When he was in the Song Kingdom, he called himself a fisherman, and he had a fate with me, but maybe I was weak, and he refused to reveal his identity and join me after all, which is a pity, and I don't know if I can see him again. ”

"Third, it is for the king of Chu to guard Wan, Ye Gongzi Gao (Chu State feudal monarchs are all called duke), his name is Shen Zhuliang, is the son of Sima Shen Yinxu who died heroically, young and promising, in the leaf land to control the water and open the field, repair military equipment, quite a good performance. In time, when Chu Ling Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi are old, 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, and the only one that my brother can contact now is Ye Gong of Chu State." ”

"However, I don't pay much attention to this Ye Gong, so I know that although he has quite a lot of political achievements, he is famous in the Chu State. But there have always been three thorns in my heart, and it hurts when I move. If you touch it, you will be angry. ”

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

"First, his father Shen Yinxu died in Yongyu in order to prevent the Wu army from entering Ying. When he died, his body and head were separated, so Ye Gong and Wu Ren had a grudge against their father. The second is that when Wu Shi entered Ying, Liu Gongshan of the Zhou Chamber sent assassins to assassinate the prince who was hiding in Wandi, which was a great shame for Ye Gongzi Gao, who was stationed in Wandi. The third is that seven years ago, Zheng Guoyou took advantage of the decline of the state of Chu, and when Ye Gong went to King Qin to expel the Wu army, he actually commanded 5,000 soldiers and attacked 500 miles. Destroying the princes of Chu on the edge of Fangcheng, Xu Guo, is equivalent to a slap in the face of Ye Gong......"

Zhao Wuxian got up and picked up a stone, bent down slightly, and threw it into the river, making a few splashes, and the ripples gradually spread to both sides.

"So what do you think Ye Gong would do if he heard that Zheng Guoren was going to come to the edge of the area where he was stationed to look for trouble?"

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. Ye Gong will definitely remember the destruction of Xu Guo, and treat Zheng Guo as if he were a great enemy, and obstruct it. Zhao Guangde suddenly realized: "Could it be that the place where my cousin wants Zigong to go to the envoy is the state of Chu?" ”

"Not bad. Zigong will send gifts and greetings to Ye Gong on my behalf, and also tell him a piece of news. ”

Zhao Wuxian showed a hint of a smile: "Zigong will inform Ye Gong and Zheng Guoren." I'm going to plot against the Barbarians! ”

……

"My cousin's plan to break up friends is really unexpected. Qin's forces have not passed the letter and can block Zheng's westward advance. Indeed, there is only the state of Chu located in the south of the barbarian clan......"

Zhao Guangde thought about it and felt that this strategy was feasible, but asked again: "But Chu is a big country in the south, once they intervene, will the Zheng people, who are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, retreat?" ”

Wu Xian said: "No, I look at the politics of the Chu State, and now my main energy is to recuperate, and at the same time compete with the Wu State for the Chen State." What's more, within the northeastern boundary of the Chu State, the State of Dun, the State of Hu, and the State of Cai all disobeyed the king of Chu, and took advantage of the decline of the State of Chu to wantonly annex the surrounding Chu Yi, and may lead the Wu people into Chu at any time, which is the problem that the State of Chu urgently needs to solve. ”

"The state of Chu ordered Yin Zixi and Sima Ziqi to be old and stable people, and before restoring the northeastern border and reconstructing a defensive line against Wu, the state of Chu and Zheng would not fight with Zheng Guo for the chicken ribs of the barbarian clan. This point, Zigong also explained when he instigated Zheng Guoren, which is enough to make Zheng people vicious. I expected that the young and vigorous Ye Gongzi Gao Fawan and Ye Fangcheng's pawns would enter the Barbarian Clan to obstruct the Zheng people, and the two sides would be equal, but I hoped that the Zheng Guoren would show the courage to destroy Xu back then to forcibly take the Barbarian Clan, and it would be better to have a few border conflicts with the Chu State......"

Zhao Guangde's eyes lit up: "If the Zheng people clash with Ye Gong in the south, under the confrontation between the two families, it will further delay their turnaround...... Clever, really clever! ”

Wuxian got up: "At this point, the chess on the southern front is arranged, let Ye Gong and Zheng Guoren entangle, we have to rest and prepare our troops this winter, and at the same time complete the strategic turn!" ”

……

During the winter solstice, a light snow falls in the north, and the banks of the river are covered with snow marks. The night in the wilderness was cold and terrible, and the secretaries of the nations stopped the fighting one after another, allowing the soldiers to return to the city camps to rest, and the people who were suffering from the war also got a little respite, but the war was quietly carried out under the ice and snow.

Compared with the snow scene outside that began to melt as soon as the sun came out, the white plain in the Zhao Palace in Wenxian County lasted longer, and Zhao Bolu's mourning period continued, and it was said that it would hang for three months.

However, compared with the dead, everyone is more concerned about the safety of the living and the illness of the sovereign Zhao Ying.

Zhao Wuxian went to visit his father in the inner bedroom as usual, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he happened to meet a group of vertical people and concubines carefully passing by the hall, and his breath turned into smoke. Under the command of Yi Bian Que, they had to bathe Zhao Ying every day and bandage his swollen joints with sackcloth soaked in soothing medicine.

Of course, in the situation, they didn't dare to reveal a word to the outside world, the gentleman in charge Ji Huan seemed to be gentle, but in fact, the royal family was extremely strict, and everyone didn't dare to have the slightest slackness.

Walking past the heads of the prostrate people, Wuxian entered the warm inner bed with a charcoal fire, Zhao Ying, with the assistance of his new concubine, had put on a spacious deep coat, sat on the couch, his gout-stricken legs were in the futon, and his hands were propped up on the desk and read the file presented by Wuxian with a lamp and candle.

Zhao Qing has never succumbed to his illness, and 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 a friend of the monarch, the less you say. The more terrifying it is, who knows when this sick tiger will be able to roar again in Nanshan?

After medical treatment by Bian Que himself. He is much better than he was a few days ago, at least out of danger. If it weren't for the blow of Berru's death, it might have been able to bounce back by now. Although Beru was not made as the heir, he was Zhao Ying's first son after all, the joy of holding the eldest son in his arms and watching his bloodline and surname be continued, as a father, he would never forget, this point, after becoming a father for the first time, Zhao Wuxian deeply understood.

A sound is heard. Zhao Ying raised his head vigilantly, facing his son, and saw deep bags hanging under his eyes...... Whether his insomnia was due to the grief of losing his son or gout, Zhao Wuxian had no way of knowing.

"Shirtless is here?"

Zhao Ying's face was relieved, and she waved her hand to let the concubine Jinjuan step down, she gave birth to a little daughter Zhao Jia last year, if nothing else, this is probably Zhao Ying's last heir......

Zhao Wuxian did not squint, and approached his father after saluting. straightened the bed for him, and said with a smile: "My father's complexion is much better than yesterday, and he is not far from recovery." ”

"Drag this stump and do your best. An Tian's destiny is just that, sometimes I really envy you and other juniors, who have a tough body. Zhao Yan sighed. Then he got down to business.

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

"I don't know what?" Zhao Wuxian glanced at the file on the case. It was Zigong's process of talking about Zheng, and these things could distract Zhao Ying.

"In the past few days, my father has also figured it out. The deceased is long, the living are like Sifu, the war has reached the point of not dying, the revenge of Bolu will be avenged, and the knowledge and Zhongxing will perish, so the relationship with the Han family has become crucial. ”

Zhao Wuxian sensed that there was something in Zhao Ying's words, "What does father want the kid to do?" ”

Zhao Ying stared at him, coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Zhao Han's marriage can't end here, I want you to pick up the in-laws of both parties and report your sister-in-law." ”

……

In ancient times, the relationship between Chinese monarchs and ministers was simple, and the political affairs of a country were actually the patriarchal continuation of a family, so when the father and brother died, the living children would often marry their wives, which was to maximize the maintenance of clan power and protect clan property.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, this primitive marriage custom was still continued in Zhuxia, called "Hao Mu Bao Sister-in-law", the most famous "Hao Mother" incident, the Duke of Wei Guo stubbornly under the compulsion of Qi Xianggong, married his stepmother beauty Xuan Jiang, the more famous "Bao Sister-in-law" incident, is Jin Hui Gong married his brother Shen Sheng's wife Jia Jun.

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

So he hurriedly refused: "This matter must not be, Jin Hui Communiqué Jia Jun, the world is not, not to mention that my brother has just passed away, I will forcibly accept his wife, is unkind, under the turbulent public opinion, how to deal with yourself?" ”

After all, this is an ancient custom, although it still exists, it is no longer universally accepted, after Jin Huigong did this, even his soft-hearted sister Qin Mu Duchess was so angry that she no longer paid attention to him, Zhao Wuxian didn't want it, and his own sister also treated him coldly because of this matter.

"But you are the son of the Zhao family and the younger brother of Berlu, at this time, you need to stand up, re-establish the in-law relationship with the Han family, and maintain the goodwill between the two families, so that the Han family can still stand on the side of the Zhao family in the unfavorable situation of the war...... What's more, Han Ji is young, and I can't bear to watch her widowed, leaving Ah Zhou with nothing to rely on. ”

persuaded the younger son to accept the eldest son's wife, Zhao Ying only felt that his face was burning, and there was awkwardness in every sentence. 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 candidate, so he can only let Zhao Wuxian and Han Ji make do.

"The kid already has a young gentleman in the main room, how can he accept Han Ji again?"

"You can do a side room, and the father also has the Han Shaojun first, and then there are Wei and Zhi's second daughters as the side room. Han Ji remarries and is under Lingzi, so there should be no objection. In Zhao Ying's view, although everyone is not very happy to accept this matter, they can only pinch their noses to do it.

Zhao Wuxian still felt awkward, and shook his head again and again.

A marriage without love is actually just a glorious brocade quilt, folded and placed on the bed, for others to see. He easily hit the big luck, and met the woman he liked in the political marriage between the Zhao family and the Le family, and now he is coming again? With Zhao Wuxian's current status, he no longer has to force himself to be submissive.

What's more, if Han Ji is as reasonable as her younger brother Han Hu, Zhao Wuxian can still think about it, but this woman has a bad relationship, and if he marries in, his harem will not want to live in peace! As I get older, I care more about the friendship of my childhood sweetheart than I covet my appearance, as well as the temperament and morality of the person next to me.

Therefore, he lowered his head and said: "Father, forcibly let the kid take Han Ji, in the end, I am afraid that not only will the two families not be able to continue the good relationship, but maybe there will be new unhappiness." ”

This is not good, that is not appropriate, Zhao Ying was angry, and directly filmed the case, "Then what do you say you want to do?" How to get Han's heart together? Reassuring Han Ji? Let Zhao Zhou, who has no father, have something to rely on? ”

Wuxian Zhengse said: "Father, and listen to Wuxian's words, it is no longer the era when the relationship between the two families can be consolidated by relying on a simple marriage between men and women. ”
