Ji Ying is nearly twenty years old, and her beauty in the past has not been reduced, but her demeanor is becoming more and more mature, she asked directly:

"The prince of Daiguo has no matchmaker's words, nor does he ask my parents' orders, do you want to ask me to run?"

"This ......" The envoy touched his dogskin hat, a little speechless.

Daiguo is the remnants of Chidi who were destroyed by the Jin State many years ago, and the tribe formed by the combination of the local Beirong, calling itself "Dairong", with the black Zhai dog as the family emblem. After the defeat in the battle of Dayuan in the Jin State of Zhongxing Wu and Wei Shu, the generation of people withdrew to the north of Xiawu Mountain to establish a state, living a life of half-farming and half-herding, now there are more than 100,000 people, more than 1,000 people who can ride horses and bend bows, and nearly 10,000 people who hold shields and blades, which is the strongest state of Rongdi in the north.

However, the culture of the generation is backward, the hair is left, the etiquette is not known, and the Central Plains marriage customs are very unknown, which is why today's reckless move.

Ji Huan taught him a lesson: "The Ming media is marrying a wife and a concubine, I only see the ignorance and shallowness of the prince of Daiguo about my Zhongxia etiquette and the humiliation of my Zhao family in these gifts, but I don't see the so-called sincerity." Please return these gifts to the prince of your country one by one, and please remember them! ”

"The daughter surnamed Ying is not a casual person."

After that, he was not allowed to say anything, so the girl raised her slender hand, and the concubines raised their steps again, and turned back to the city, leaving only the stunned envoy of the country to be stopped outside the layer of spears.

"She is worthy of being the eldest sister of the Zhao family, and she will not fall into the family!"

Hearing the cheers of the Zhao family behind him, as well as the abuse of the prince of Daiguo, Ji Huan, who was sitting on the chariot, showed a smile.

That's right. She is now not only a sister-in-law without mercy, but also a "sister" of the Zhao people in Jinyang!

……

Ji Ying grew up in the warm southern border of the Jin Kingdom. Because it was the capital of Tang Yao, Xia and Jin dynasties, the land in Hedong was narrow. The population is large, and although the local folk customs have the arrogance of the hegemonic people, they are inevitably stingy and thrifty, and they are familiar with the world.

She has spent more than a decade in the lower palace and Xintian, where the deer park is a bright and clear garden, where cuckoos sing in their nests in the woods, and when the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers every summer, when she leaves. She was also reluctant for a while.

But Jinyang, located in the vast northern Xinjiang, is a different scene.

This place was originally known as Taiyuan, Dalu, in the north of the Jin Kingdom, on the bank of the Jin River, the Zhao family ruled here for only 30 years. This is a dark and primitive place, the dim Rongdi Tubao stands majestically and independently, the 10,000-year-old trees are lying around, the forest exudes the smell of cold and loneliness, and everywhere is barbaric and desolate.

But once developed, it is a fertile ground full of hope!

The Xia people who migrated from the south mixed and merged with the indigenous Rongdi. Therefore, the folk style advocates strong and competitive, and takes it as their responsibility to help the weak and suppress the strong. They did not want to engage in agriculture and commerce, but instead cultivated a martial style, and women had strong personalities. The men often gather in the cities to play games and sing generously and sadly, and at the same time, they also regard the ladies of the Zhao family, who often walk around the cities on foot, as celestial beings.

It is also adjacent to the state of Rong Di such as Dai and Wuzhong. Repeatedly plundered, so last autumn and winter. Ji Huan has seen that once there is a police at the border, everyone is brave and willing to join the army. A scene of seeking wealth in danger.

After comparing the two, she still prefers Jinyang more, although it is not as comfortable as the south, but the world here is much more vast. The intrigue in the Xintian palace is not useful here, but it is easy to win the support of the people in the country, and when the father and Wuxian are both absent, it is far more secure here than the lower palace.

The Zhao family's operation of Jinyang started from the previous generation of family heads, Zhao Jingzi, but the scale was not large. When he arrived in Zhao Ying, under the auspices of Dong Anyu, he built a city here, supervised the construction of warehouses, and strengthened the city defense, making it a military fortress and the new capital of the Zhao family.

After entering the city, there is a tall city wall, and the autumn wind in July has eased a little, and it seems that it is not as violent as outside.

Ji Huan's destination is a high building, she likes to climb high and look far away, when she was young, she was waiting for her father to go on the expedition, and then she was looking forward to the return of Wujiao, and it became a habit when the hope became fading.

If you want to go up to the castle tower, you have to climb the corridor between the city walls and follow the winding staircase upwards. Ji Ying has a tough personality, but she is not a delicate girl who is soft and unable to walk, she simply asked her concubines to retreat, walked up slowly, climbed close to the sky, and finally saw the scenery of the whole city at a glance.

On the castle tower, she could see the vastness of Jinyang City unfolding in front of her, all the bustle and noise in the capital were at her feet, and only the birds in the sky were hovering overhead. She could look down on the city below: she watched the craftsmen hauling the copper pillars to the palace area, the ministers thickening and raising the thin city walls with slabs and rammed earth, and the women of the peasants whispering while cutting the trunks of plants such as Artemisia annua, which are the bones of the walls.

On top of the tallest tower, the city's architect is cloaked in a dull robe, overseeing it all with his hands behind his back.

"I've seen Dong Zi." Ji Huan stepped forward in small steps and solemnly bowed to the gray-haired old man.

……

Dong Anyu turned around and saluted Ji Huan and said, "Gentleman, send it away on behalf of the country?" ”

"They know that it will be difficult to retreat."

"This is good, on behalf of the people, Rong Diye, this move is too rude, and the gentleman has handled it well."

Ji Huan respects Dong Anyu very much, he is not only the chief retainer of the Zhao family, but also the teacher of the children of the Zhao family. It was he who was the first to judge the situation and set his wise eyes on the land of Taiyuan, which was far away from the other Wuqing, and built Jinyang City on the west bank of the Fen River, which is backed by Longshan, facing Jinshui, relying on Yuyi in the north, and having a terrier in the south.

Dong Anyu pointed to the scene that Ji Ying had just seen and said to her: "The buildings in the city are made of copper pillars instead of wooden pillars, the city wall is made of rammed earth sandwiched with plates, and the wall bones are made of plant trunks such as Artemisia annua, which are more than a foot high. In the future, once there is an alarm, the copper pillar can be melted into a weapon, the city wall can not be easily breached, and the high artemisia can also be used to make arrow shafts, Jinyang, when it becomes the city of the Zhao family. ”

Ji Huan felt a palpitation: "Dong Zi, is there going to be a war again?" ”

Dong Anyu had worry in his eyes: "To tell the truth, with the situation of the Jin Kingdom, war will break out sooner or later, the question is when, who will make the first move, and who will attack and defend ......"

The Zhao family disliked each other with Fan and the Bank of China, the Wei family had a feud with the Fan family because of the funeral of Wei Xianzi, and the Han family was also not good with the Bank of China and was like one with the Zhao family.

So once the war broke out, Zhao Weihan against Fan and BOC? This should be certain, but the attitude of the Zhi clan and the Marquis of Jin is a bit worth playing.

Dong Anyu suddenly looked back at Ji Huan, who was the best looking in the Jin Kingdom, and asked solemnly: "If one day, the Zhao family is in danger, Jinyang is besieged by a strong enemy, and the monarch needs to come forward and marry outsiders to get out of the predicament, is the monarch willing to sacrifice herself?" ”

……

"Sacrificing ......"

Ji Huan's body shook slightly, and a figure flashed in her heart, and then she bit her lower lip lightly, and only nodded heavily after half a ring: "If there is really that day, in order to protect the Zhao family, in order to let my father, so that Wuxian can defeat a strong enemy, I am willing to give everything!" ”

"Why? Maybe you will marry an enemy, maybe you will be precarious, or maybe in the blink of an eye, your father and brother and the husband you marry will turn against each other, so you can't choose. ”

"Because I'm the eldest sister of the Zhao family! As a member of the Zhao family, he died as a ghost of the Zhao family! ”

That's right, the Zhao family has the grace of nurturing her, she is the eldest sister of the Zhao family, and now she is also the "sister" praised by the Zhao people in Jinyang, the burden of the clan, and she can't let her father and Wuxian carry it alone.

Dong Anyu smiled again on his old-fashioned face: "Gentlemen and daughters can rest assured, the old minister just asked, now that the Zhao family is strong, presumably next year, the connection between the east and the west and the two Zhao can also be opened, and after the return of the unsympathetic gentleman, the Zhao family will be invincible in the Jin Kingdom, no matter how corrupt the situation is, it will not be bad to that extent." According to the will of the sovereign, the marriage of the monarch and the daughter can follow the example of Zheng Guo's sister Xu Wu, and freely choose a husband among many suitors. ”

Dong Zi...... I'm laughing again. ”

Ji Huan's face turned slightly red, and she quickly recovered as before, her background Dong Zi was clear, but she was no longer the girl who was ashamed to blush when she grew up because she was holding a shirtless all day long because she was holding a shirtless all day long.

After Ji Huan left, there was still a faint orchid fragrance on the city, Dong Anyu looked at the back of the red curl and gradually moved away, and sighed long.

Let her enjoy the rest of the time, the sun is shining in the late summer and early autumn will soon be over, winter is approaching, and there are not many days left in her childhood.

Zhao Wuxian has been thriving in the East over the years, and the Zhao family has also run well in the local area, the relocation of the capital to Jinyang has been successfully completed, and the integration of various counties has been steadily promoted.

Things seem to be developing for the better, but as a wise man, Dong Anyu can see the crisis hidden in it.

Others only saw the submission of the Handan clan, but Dong Anyu saw their unwillingness and the broken connection with Fan and Bank of China.

Others only saw the loss and decline of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, but Dong Anyu saw that their strength was particularly strong, and they were accumulating strength, and they wanted to bite the Zhao family hard.

Others only saw the ruling Zhisong retreating step by step to Zhao Ying in the court's decision-making, but Dong Anyu sensed the Zhi's desire to make the Zhao family the target of the public.

Others only saw the Marquis of Jin's kindness to the Zhao family, but they didn't see that because of Zhao Wuxian's derogatory, the Marquis of Jin became more and more jealous of the Zhao family......

But what if you know? Unless the Zhao family cuts off its limbs, the growth cannot be stopped at all, and it cannot be stopped, the situation of the Jin Kingdom is like a six-horse racing car, whoever dares to hesitate and hesitate will be pulled far behind, and even the car will be destroyed!

Although Dong Anyu advocated a preemptive strike, once the war began, it was difficult to predict the outcome.

Looking at the rain coming from the south, he said softly: "The Warring States are planning to resist the enemy with their might, and they can't scrap the army, and next year, the Jin Kingdom may become a Warring States with a continuous war and the six Qings merge with each other!" ”
