Zigong said sincerely to Zhao Wuxian: "The master once said that people have no faith, and they don't know what they can do. There was an oath to the gentleman, and the gentleman was the proprietor of the gentleman, for at least three years. Now that the blood in his mouth has not dried up, how can he break his word!? ”

In the face of Zhao Ying's temptation, Zigong considered it like this: The master once said that if the Tao is different, it is not a conspirator. Although Confucius started from the end of the micro and sometimes had to be flexible, it was not in a desperate situation, but it also had its own principles.

The master has always had a lot of criticism about Zhao Ying's policies and actions, and although he has recently changed his attitude a little because of the decree to stop obeying death, it is entirely because of the actions of his concubine Zhao Wuxian.

When Zigong was in Zhongduyi, he once told his master that he wanted to come to the Jin Kingdom to be the son of the Zhao family. The master told him at that time that he hoped that he would be Zhao Wuxian's Jia and persuade him to practice the way of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and pleasure. For the Zhao family's eagle dog lackey, it is not allowed.

Although Zhao Wuxian had some differences with Confucius in some concepts, in Zigong's view, it was harmony but difference, although he paid attention to agriculture and labor, but Zigong remembered that the master also said that "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools".

Although he issued strict military orders, he was still relatively gentle with the people. The people are slow, and the slow is fierce; Fierce rule. The people are disabled, and the remnants will be lenient", which coincides with the Master's evaluation of the child's "forgiveness and fierceness".

However, Zhao Ying, on the other hand, was more inclined to punish harsh laws, and violated the etiquette system on many utensils, and was even regarded by Confucius as an unkind king, which was contrary to the fundamental concept of Confucius.

What's more, Zigong touched the manuscript of the "Book of Absolute Qin" that he had been carrying in his arms. He only inadvertently confided his ambition once when he was drunk, but Zhao Wuxian was able to keep it in mind, and did everything possible to find these pedestrians' words, give them to himself, and wish him to realize his ambition as soon as possible.

"If I can become the secretary of the Jin Kingdom in the future. Zigong must be hired as a pedestrian of the Jin Kingdom, and I hope that when Zigong envoys to the princes, he can do such a feat as the Duke of Shen and Wuchen to join Wu to resist Chu! ”

Zigong was not unaware of the hint in Zhao Wuxian's words. But he was still very moved in his heart, which went beyond the relationship between interests and oaths.

He remembered the time before his departure. He once asked Confucius in Zhongdu and said, "Master, dare to ask what a scholar is?" ”

The master pondered for a moment and said: "It is shameful to do it, and it can be said that it is a gentleman to be in all directions and not dishonor the king's life." ”

Be ashamed to act and make decisions, to go out to the nations, and to be able to accomplish the mission assigned by the Lord. It can be called a taxi.

Zigong proclaimed himself a shameful and faithful scholar!

He felt that Zhao Wuxian treated himself as a friend and a soldier, and although he could not entrust his loyalty for the time being, he served him as the king. But at least! We should repay them with the friendship of friends and the loyalty of scholars!

Therefore, in the side hall, he actually rejected Zhao Ying's call.

After hearing this, Zhao Wuxian breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was settled, but he had to feel sorry for Zigong.

It's not a matter of what he's getting to lose. It's a first-class talent like Zigong, or an all-round economic and diplomatic talent, which is really rare. In this day and age. Perhaps, only Fan Li (Luo) in the south, and Tao Zhu Gong in the future can be compared.

Subsequently, Zhao Wuxian and Zigong held Zhao Ying's talisman and contacted Yin Duo, the head of the family, and Fu Suo, the doctor, to discuss specific matters. Subsequently, they summoned the officials of the lower palace treasury, Chezheng, and the stables. Convey the will of the suzerain.

"From this day on, most of the wheat in the lower palace warehouses will be used for grinding wheat flour. The car is arranging the oxen, horses, and carts for transportation with the stables! ”

At the same time, there were also envoys who carried the brochure to the neighboring villages. Let the township zai and the township situ deliver wheat to the lower palace, and the largest supplier of raw materials is, of course, Chengxiang.

Zhao Ying's request is very simple, be sure to overwhelm the Fan merchants in Su City, and don't let a grain of Zhao corn flow into their warehouse! The newly built mill in the lower palace began to operate in full operation from the early morning of the next day, and this economic war between Zhao and Fan was officially launched!

Based on the lesson of the leakage of the stone mill structure in the kitchen of the lower palace, Zhao Ying also issued a strict family law, and if anyone dares to contact outsiders to leak it, kill! The whole family was reduced to prison!

And Zigong also has to return to Chengxiang, transport a steady stream of Cheng porcelain, bring them to the lacquer pottery market, and launch a belly attack on the Fan merchants!

Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but think of a sentence from "The Art of War" that he had read in his previous life, which was quite suitable for today's situation.

With the right fit, with the odd win!

So before leaving, he instructed Zigong: "Zigong is going, he will be like the hair of a fierce beast and a bird, and he will hit with one blow!" ”

……

On the third day, Zhao Wuxian was neatly dressed, wearing the new autumn clothes sewn by his sister, wearing a white jade ring from Yuzhi Kunlun, standing under the car, his hands wrapped in wide sleeves, and waiting outside the deer park with a serious face.

Today, he will officially enter the palace and become the king's assistant sacrifice, and the sacrifice heralds the arrival of autumn Mars. At the same time, at Zhao's request, the monarch agreed to let Le Qi's daughter visit her father.

That's why Zhao Wuxian waited so formally outside the residence of Le Lingzi and his sister.

Le Lingzi didn't seem to have the habit of making people wait for a long time, and the beauty in the green deep clothes walked out slowly with an elegant Yin Shang pace. Wuxian found that she was covered with a thin veil again, but in this way, those clear and graceful eyes looked even more charming.

Maybe it was the first time they looked at each other more than half a month ago, and the shock to Wuxian was too strong, or maybe it was the verbal marriage contract that was secretly pulling his emotions. He still has a slight feeling for Le Lingzi, but he is a little vague.

She was probably the kind of woman that Wuxian liked in her previous life, but the two are still extremely strangers now.

If you look up at this time, you can see three figures, one red and two white, standing on the hill of the deer park and watching them leave, Zhao Wuxian knew that it was his sister with two white deer. There was no need to face the delicate Shura field, which made Zhao Wuxian breathe a sigh of relief, but he was a little inexplicably disappointed.

He retracted his thoughts, and when Le Lingzi bent down and saluted, calling him a "gentleman", he also bowed.

The two have not yet finished married, and it is rude to stare at the girl's eyes for a long time, and the shirtless gaze also moved down politely, and found that Le Lingzi was also wearing a white jade jue today, and Peiyu will be.

Zhao Wuxian has the intention to take today's opportunity to communicate with his fiancée, who will share the same bed in the future, but there are still maids waiting around, not a place to talk. Wuxian stretched out his hand to invite Le Lingzi to pedal on a short pedal bike, and he politely protected him.

Today's multiplication. It's a horse-riding car, which is different from the car that you ride on weekdays.

Anche's car yu (yu), that is, the carriage is larger. It's slower and can sit down. It is often used for female dependents or the elderly. The wheels are also wrapped with grass to prevent bumps, which has an idiom in later generations, which is called "Anche Pulun".

There is a dome-shaped umbrella cover on the car, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and there are curtains around the car to prevent passers-by from peeping. The curtain is painted with flowing cloud patterns, and the outside of the car has Zhao's unique symbol of the day bird pattern. There is a soft seat in the middle of the public opinion, which can be used by Le Lingzi to sit, because women must sit in the car, as the so-called "women do not stand".

The young man has to stand up, but he has a king's life today, one is to enter the palace to help the sacrifice, and the other is to escort Le Lingzi to see his father, all of which are counted as the king's life. Therefore, "the king's order is called, and the doctor and the scholar will kiss him." Wuxian and Le Lingzi are in the same car, one to fulfill the duty of male protection, and the other is to drive as a royal man.

Zhao's banner and the guard's light car are ringed in front and rear. And in this car, there is only the privacy of an unmarried couple.

At this time, Zhao Wuxian has to thank Wang Sun Qi for his strict guidance, although his current driving skills are not as good as Wang Sun Qi, and he was even left behind by the talented Xiao Tong Ao, but he has already left out of the level of novice on the road. On the flat official road, you can still control the eight bridles and control the horses and kimono horses to walk quickly.

But since hitting the road, the space in the car has been silent for a moment.

Shirtless thoughts. Isn't this a bit similar to driving a car with a girl in a previous life? But something has to be said.

With the dance of the arms, the eight bridles are moved. The jade ring on Zhao Wuxian's waist lightly touched the belt hook, and he couldn't help but have an idea. Got an idea.

After coughing lightly, Wuxian sang a poem.

"There is a lesbian car, Yan Ru Shunhua. Will soar, Pei Yu Qiongju. ”

"There are female peers, Yan Ru Shunying. Will soar, Peiyu will general. ”

Le Lingzi had been frowning just now, hanging her head and worrying about her father's safety, but this time, her worried mood was interrupted and dispelled by a song by Zhao Wuxian.

What Zhao Wuxian didn't know was that on the day he and Le Lingzi first met, after Ji Huan and Le Lingzi sent him out, they took her hand and asked her, what did she think of Zhao Wuxian?

After treating Bai Elk, Ji Huan and Le Lingzi have become extremely close, and some Zi Mi words can also be discussed.

So Le Lingzi replied: "My father sent a letter to me half a year ago, praising the Zhao gentleman for his promising youth, shooting black bears, capturing white deer, being able to know the elegance of the musician's song, and governing a township in the year of the weak crown, which can be trusted."

Ji Huan shook her head with a smile and said, "What I'm asking is how you look at him, not how your father thinks of him." ”

Le Lingzi pondered for a moment, and then replied: "If you look at your person, you will look ordinary, and if you look at your deeds, you will be humble and decisive; Be kind to your relatives, be humble to your subordinates, and be polite to your sons......"

This is all her impression of Zhao Wuxian to this day, although she is bound by a verbal marriage contract, she doesn't have much feeling for him.

But along the way, Lingzi had a different kind of touch in his heart. Since her father was imprisoned, she has not felt this feeling of being protected and cared for for a long time, her brother is cowardly and incompetent, and the clan elders only know that they care about their own interests, and some things have to be solved by themselves.

For more than half a year, Le Lingzi had to deal with some family affairs while worrying about how to rescue her father, although she made a strong image in front of people, she only felt tired in her heart, until she met Zhao Wuxian.

He patted his chest in front of him and promised that he would find a way to save his father; He takes care of himself when he pedals, and considers himself a protector; He sings poetry somewhat awkwardly when he is resentful, trying to attract his attention.

If Ji Huan asked her again at this moment what she thought of Zhao Wuxian, she would probably answer......

Such a beloved, you can entrust it!

So, Le Lingzi couldn't help but smile and said a word to Zhao Wuxian. (To be continued)
